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 correctly identify whether the target system is Kali Linux and if it's using Zsh as the default shell, the payload suggests using a variable `$ONE_ONLY_IF_YOU_USE_IT_ON_KALI_LINUX`, which should be set to `1`. This variable would serve as a placeholder to distinguish between usage on Kali Linux and other Linux systems. + +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`. + +## Read More + +- \[1] [Kali Linux 2020.4 switches the default shell from Bash to ZSH +](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/linux/kali-linux-20204-switches-the-default-shell-from-bash-to-zsh/) + +## Credits + +
