For step 2, you should be checking in line, not in auth_log. Once you have that fixed, do you see a pattern in the output from step 2? If so, you use that pattern in step 3.

thank you I just figured that out prior to checking back in I am now working on step 3, with 1 and 2 functional.

What does it do from the terminal? That's the only place that matters (unless you have different instructions for the course).

It works fine in terminal. I now have step 1 and 2 complete thank you

My step 3
The word before every user name is user and the word after is from. I wrote this code which i think is the right format (ofcorse it doesnt work)

intruder_log = {}

with open("auth.log.1") as auth_log:
    for line in auth_log:
        if "Failed password" in line:
            start = intruder_log.find("user")
            end = intruder_log.find("from")

            invalid_user = intruder_log[start : end ]

            print("invalid_user: {}".format(invalid_user))
