+# Compiling hashcat for Windows with Windows Subsystem for Linux.
+
+Tested on a Windows 10 (x64 build 18363), should also work to build hashcat for Windows on Linux.
+
+### Installation ###
+
+Enable WSL.
+
+Run bash (win+r bash) and make sure to install additional dependencies necessary for hashcat compilation
+```
+sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 make git
+git clone https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat
+git clone https://github.com/win-iconv/win-iconv 
+cp hashcat/tools/win-iconv-64.diff win-iconv/
+cd win-iconv/
+sudo make install
+```
+
+### Building ###
+
+You've already cloned the latest master revision of hashcat repository above, so switch to the folder and type "make win" to start compiling hashcat
+```
+cd ../hashcat
+make win
+```
+
+The process may take a while, please be patient. Once it's finished, run a Windows command prompt (win+r cmd) and start hashcat by typing "hashcat.exe"
+
+```
+hashcat.exe
+```
