Step 1: Install the Application

The very first thing we will be doing is install the application that we need in order to do the bubble font.
do;
apt-get install figlet

Step 2: Open Up .Bashrc

Now, we need to open up and edit the .bashrc file with our favorite text editor. (I used gedit which is installed in kali linux by default)
do;
gedit /root/.bashrc

Step 3: Navigate All the Way Down to the Bottom

The header says it all.

Step 4: Add a Line of “Code”

Add the line: figlet {Custom Text} to the very bottom. Change out {Custom Text} for your text of choice. I used Kali Linux.

And There You Have It!……….

Just open up a new ROOT terminal, and you should have something similar to this:

EXTRAS!!

Yes! Extras!
You don’t only have to use figlet to do this. you could just as well type in any code and it will run before you will be able to type something into the terminal. Also, you could just display custom words without figlet. For example,
——————————————————————————————————–
—————————Control the code, control the world————————–
——————————————————————————————————–
