this networking course was a mistake

A screenshot of instructions from a VM lab assignment in a networking course. It describes right clicking on a Kali Linux terminal to paste a command from the clipboard into a script file, and then immediately afterwards it describes repeating that process to duplicate the same line many times.

@esm@wetdry.world
The person who made this doesn't even know how to handle very basic shell scripting. I doubt this course will teach anyone anything lmao.

@dushman @esm the proper solution to this is of course:

echo "#!/bin/sh" > pingscript
for i in {1..100}; do
echo "ping \$1 -s 64" >> pingscript
done

@phnt@fluffytail.org @esm@wetdry.world
Yeah this will work. There are multiple ways to do it even but the way of whoever made that course is supremely stupid.

@dushman @esm The shebang is wrong in the example. The author was too lazy to check if the script even works.

@phnt@fluffytail.org @esm@wetdry.world
Oh I just noticed. My fucking sides. How can this be a real course?

@esm The Kali background really is the cherry on top

@esm The state of the shebang line is just fitting to the rest of that script and the instructions... :neocat_googly_shocked:​

@esm@wetdry.world of course the tutorial that tells you to copy paste a command multiple times is for fuckign kali linux
