Question

this command doesnt work with me
.....i think because he use kali and i am using ubuntu....so ....is there is a solve for this problem?

Answer 1

What was the command?

Answer 2

i'm a newbie to linux too but i think it might have something to do with the terminal/shell you are using. for example you might be using the bash shell and your teacher another one.

Answer 3

Google my friend or make your teacher use Ubuntu or you should start Kali but if you are New on Linux then starting from Ubuntu is good and about using terminal commands i don't think Kali and Ubuntu has much difference in commands they are similar with little changes

Answer 4

Omar o ubuntu is nice because it easy to install and easy to maintain, so if your are new to linux it is recommended because it doesn‘t force you to use the command line and you can gradually start using it.
kali linux is recommended if you want to start pentesting because all the tools you need are preinstalled.
so if you are not somewhat comfortable with linux you should stay on ubuntu and learn some fundamentals
but if you are somewhat familiar with the basic commands such as cd,ls,mkdir,mv, cat,grep ...
there is no reason why you shouldn‘t use kali, for pentesting its just way easier
if you want to learn linux and security at the same time you could try these wargames http://overthewire.org/wargames/
(just google the solution if you get stuck)

Answer 5

how about you tell us the command. the only reason you would use kali is for the preinstalled pentesting tools, so its probably one of them that is not installed on ubuntu

Answer 6

Omar o depends on what you want to do. just post the command so that we can help you further

Answer 7

Omar o in linux basically all the commands you type into bash are programs

Answer 8

Omar o yes

Answer 9

both of us use terminal

Answer 15

Max i didnot understand what do u mean ....how commands are programs...!!
and what is bash

Answer 16

Omar o bash is the name of the program you type commands into. if you type a command like for example ls into it, it looks for a program called ls and executes it, ls then prints its output and finishes its execution and then you can type the next command(program name) into bash.
there are also other programs like bash, zsh is popular for example, but bash is the one that comes with most linux distributions

Answer 17

bash=terminal
program=command (e.g ifconfig)
is this right?Max
