Bashrc file error when running kali linux terminal

Question

I get this every time I run terminal on kali linux. It started happening when i added the alias "wifi". This is the error i get

bash: source: filename argument required
source: usage: source filename [arguments]
bash: /home/tom/.bashrc: Permission denied
bash: source: filename argument required

This is my bashrc file:

alias wifi='sudo airmon-ng stop wlan0mon ; sudo service network-manager restart'

I'm very new to linux in general, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

At the bottom of your ~/.bashrc you have:

alias wifi='sudo airmon-ng stop wlan0mon ; sudo service network-manager restart'
source
/home/tom/.bashrc
source
/home/tom/.bashrc

Change this to

alias wifi='sudo airmon-ng stop wlan0mon ; sudo service network-manager restart'
source /home/tom/.bashrc
source /home/tom/.bashrc

You might want to consider deleting the duplicate line, or maybe even just copying the contents of /home/tom/.bashrc to ~/.bashrc because if Tom choses to revoke your read-permissions to his home-directory, you'll have problems again. If you are Tom, you might want to delete those lines as a recursive .bashrc might cause a hangup.

Edit: You are tom! The source lines will cause a hangup (infinite recursion). Delete those lines so that you simply have this at the end:

alias wifi='sudo airmon-ng stop wlan0mon ; sudo service network-manager restart'
