# This Damn Shell Doesn't Work, SO SAD! :C

This payload can be used to prank your friends so that when they open their terminal it will close immediately.

**Category**: Prank

*How it works on Kali Linux...*

## Dependencies

* Nothing <3

## Description

The described payload aims to modify the configuration file of the default shell environment in a Linux system, specifically the `.bashrc` file. This file is executed every time a user opens a terminal or a Bash shell session. By inserting the `exit` command as the first line in the `.bashrc` file, it causes the shell to terminate immediately upon opening, preventing the user from executing any further commands or operations within the shell.

However, it's important to note that starting from version 2020.4, Kali Linux has changed its default shell from Bash to Zsh \[1] for users installing this distribution. Consequently, the main configuration file is no longer `.bashrc` but `.zshrc`. Therefore, if the target is a Kali Linux machine with this version or later, it's necessary to modify the `.zshrc` file instead of `.bashrc`.

To use this payload correctly, it is important to choose the correct one based on the target. If the target system is **Kali Linux** and if it is using Zsh as the default shell, the correct payload is [this one here](), otherwise if it is classic linux distributions like **Ubuntu** or **Debian** it is recommended to use [this one here]().

To restore proper shell operation, it will be necessary to edit via a text editor the `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` file by deleting the first line that consists of the command `exit`.
