ummm
if you you've got a root terminal, you don't need sudo.

what's the command you're using to run the script?

[micromacro]

what i mean is, that i drop the terminal program into psudo the program for osx. ive been ./'n it and just trying the command ssh-brute

[orange1]

well, most of what you said didn't make any sense whatsoever. maybe try some punctuation, and this:
sh <script>

or, if it's a tcsh script:
tcsh <script>

consequently, if it's a bash script:
bash <script>

and again, it's "sudo", not "psudo" or "pseudo". two of those will give you a command not found error.

Please post a little more info:

your shell (echo $SHELL)
your PATH
the output of head -1 [scriptname]

I had one thought:

If the script starts with a
#!...
line that doesn't point towards an executable shell on your system, you'll get a message like one of these, depending on your shell (my test script is called "test", executed using
./test)

in ksh:
ksh: ./test: No such file or directory

in bash:
bash: ./test: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

in tcsh:
./test: Command not found.

in zsh:
zsh: no such file or directory: ./test

Good luck.

Hmm. It seems ssh-brute is an Expect script that uses a dictionary to apply a brute force attack on an ssh server. While it does have legit uses, I somehow doubt our friend is a sysadmin trying to test the security of his network . . .

Nice try, Micromacro.
