Script that will random choose an IP address
Hi,

I need to write a bash script that will random choose and login into these below ip addresses.
Code:
         192.168.116.130
         192.168.116.131
         192.168.116.132
         192.168.116.133

I'm new into scripting and I need to enhance my logic. Below is what i did

Code:
#!/bin/bash
p=$1
localip=$2
port=$3
localport=$4


if [ "$#" -ne 4 ]; then
    exit 1
fi


case "$2" in


	1)  return_string="Milon1, 192.168.116.130, 22"
		echo "$return_string"
		;;
	
	2)  return_string="Milon2, 192.168.116.131, 22"
		echo "$return_string"
		;;
	
	3)  return_string="Milon3, 192.168.116.132, 22"
		echo "$return_string"
		;;
	
	*) return_string="Milon4, 192.168.116.133, 22"
	   echo "$return_string"
	   ;;
esac

Please use code tags as required by forum rules!

So - the random value would be supplied as $2 between 1 and 4?

Just some thoughts as a starting point:
Code:
IP=(192.168.116.13{0..3})
for ((i=1; i<=8; i++)); do R=$((RANDOM%4)); echo "Milon$R, ${IP[$R]}, 22"; done

Milon3, 192.168.116.133, 22
Milon2, 192.168.116.132, 22
Milon0, 192.168.116.130, 22
Milon1, 192.168.116.131, 22
Milon1, 192.168.116.131, 22
Milon3, 192.168.116.133, 22
Milon1, 192.168.116.131, 22

The problem is I'm very new in bash script.

Will the below script produce the below results?


Code:
#!/bin/bash
p=$1
localip=$2
port=$3
localport=$4

if [ "$#" -ne 4 ]; then
    exit 1
fi

IP=(192.168.116.13{0..3})
for ((i=1; i<=8; i++)); do R=$((RANDOM%4)); echo "Milon$R, ${IP[$R]}, 22"; done




Results:

Code:
Milon2, 192.168.116.132, 22
Milon3, 192.168.116.133, 22
Milon2, 192.168.116.132, 22
Milon0, 192.168.116.130, 22
Milon1, 192.168.116.131, 22
Milon1, 192.168.116.131, 22
Milon3, 192.168.116.133, 22
Milon1, 192.168.116.131, 22

Why don't you run it so you can see?

And, I guess (as you don't explicitly explain) that you want script parameters to hold IP addresses and ports, and that the "22" is a port (indicating you want to login via ssh). But, again, there's no indication about what is what.

Why don't you step back and write a detailed specification?

I want the system to randomly pick a honeypot sensor for a user to login.

Code:
ip=$1
localip=$2
port=$3
localport=$4
if [ "$#" -ne 4 ]; then
    $username = $5
    $password = $6
fi

IP=(192.168.116.13{0..3})
for ((i=1; i<=8; i++)); do R=$((RANDOM%4)); echo "Milon$R, ${IP[$R]}, 22"; done

return_string="Sensor_Name, Honey_IP, Honey_Port"

if [ "$#" -ne 4 ]; then
    return_string="$return_string, $username, $password"
fi

echo "$return_string"
