Depending on your os, maybe you need to use:
sudo ./offsetbruteforce.sh
(password)

To put it simply. If you do not know what the problem is, you shouldn't be doing anything with brute forcing.

A script must be have the permissoins is "rwx-rwx-r", and you must be a owner. It's so obvious.

if you creat this file you can run by " bash offsetbruteforce.sh" or you can change the permission by "chmod" command by root account.
for example "chmod 777 filename".

This is not a good practice. You should not go about recommending people change permissions to 777. Noobs who don't understand permissions yet are likely to blindly follow that advice and will then be thrilled when it works, but it is not a good solution. a better permission is probably 72-

If you want to allow all users on the system to run the script, 755 is probably the best choice, otherwise why not just make it 700 so it's only readable by the owner?

There are no better or worse permissions. There are only permissions that are suitable for the intended use. For example, the only suitable permission for the /root-directory is 700, and the only suitable permission for programs in /usr/bin is 755.
Nonetheless, I agree with you that giving a solution without proper explanation is not the best way to answer to a thread.

Possibly you just need to run :-

chmod +x offsetbruteforce.sh

to make it executable, & then run it :-

sh offsetbruteforce.sh

And with all that said: I can't see a legitimate reason
to RUN that script. Closed.
