Is it possible to set an alias for a string?

As I’m so lazy, I don’t want to type 192.168.1 everytime anymore. I tried this:

root@kali:~# alias "ip" = "192.168.1"

That does not seem to work. As an example off what I try to accomplish:

I don’t want to type this anymore:

root@kali:~# hping3 -S --scan 1-1000 192.168.1.133

But instead shorter:

root@kali:~# hping3 -S --scan 1-1000 ip.133

Answer

add ip="192.168.1" in your ~/.bashrc file. Relogin and you will be able to do: ping $ip
