the problem now I discovered that "shit" is not an actual linux command. and if I replace it with echo so it becomes:

echo "echo happens" and complete the rest, it would have worked perfectly. Thanks, everyone and sorry for all my stupid questions. You guys are a great community

I did not mean to discourage you, in fact I want to encourage you!

But as in all things, you must learn basic skills before moving to advanced. You learn to walk before learning to ride a bicycle, and you learn drive a family car before moving on to heavy transports or formula racers.

It is great that you want to learn ethical hacking, in fact ethical everything! But you need to have mastery of the machine and the operating system concepts before you can understand the hacking part, even if you are well equipped ethically!

One basic concept you seem to be missing is the "file" and how commands and data are put into them and then used. The Rute link above is an excellent resource if you start at the beginning and work your way through. It even includes an early section on Files and Commands.

ANd a word about learning by video - the only way to learn programming and the necessary text manipulation skills is with fingertips on keyboard! There is no substitute for that, and you can't copy/paste an example from even the best video tutorial! Educational video certainly has its place, but probably not as the primary source for programming knowledge and examples. Read, read, read and type, edit, play! The only way to learn it!

Good luck!

I don't have a clue without watching the video and seeing exactly what commands were typed in the console. No genius and no tricks, just learned by reading the guides, books and doing.

That is not the reason it did not work - check the location of quotes, for one thing. But the answer lies in the knowledge available in the previously linked documents, please use them.

That is also not really an appropriate expression in polite company. Please remember that LQ has users of all ages and backgrounds and adjust your examples' language to be suitable for them all - thanks!
