I found the question very confusing
It's basically asking for after you install the submodule
What command would you run
Access to the subnet through the provided machine(foothold) and not through your openvpn
Using npm is just telling you "with npm, find a way to start a simple http server"
Ohhhhh
I suppose using npx I could run the command without first using npm, and after installing with npm I don't technically need to use npx. I see your point
Gotcha. Thanks
Yeah
It's one of the more silly questions
Is this the flavor of trick-question with a match-or-fail design I can expect during certification exams?
Can't tell you what's on the exam
But the exam is flag based
So I doubt it's a "what command is used" and more "submit flag on machine x"
I just saw, crackmapexec is down? π
It's been dead
It's been forked to netexec
that's good to hear and answers my question, thanks π
There's a whole discussion thread on the cme github as to why
Also the exam isn't leading questions
that's especially good to hear
It's tough but fair from those that have taken it
The exam will only have stuff from it's required path (plus fundamentals)
So you're not expected to know all the ADCS techniques or Custom Exploits in CPTS
nice
Didn't we talk about " Sticky Notes" !
You are answering to messages from february. π
Hey, guys please tell me where to start to get better in cybersecurity. Anyone?
Depends on your currents skills. Think where you have gaps and try to fill them.
I just started the course
I like to know and practice
Any website on YouTube to watch or practice
Awesome thank you
@fading comet I can recommend darknetdiaries, they have their own podcast site or you can find them on youtube. It's a lot of interviews with hackers and cybersec specialists. A lot of the time people will talk about how they got started in the industry and there are a lot of useful insights.
You can also query your prefered AI chatbot with a properly engineered prompt. For example:
"I have the following experiences/education with computers/networking/programming:
[...]
I would like to get acquainted with fundamental cybersecurity principles. Could you create a roadmap for me showcasing the different areas I should research and add sub-points for specific technologies and practices I should look into?"
Then you can use that roadmap as a starting-off point for your research.
I am currently taking the HTB Academy Cybersecurity Fundamentals path and can recommend it as a good starting point if you want to get more familiar with Linux, Windows, Networking, etc.
Perfect I appreciate your help
my pleasure
Good evening everyone , i have this kind of problem today. I can't ping and reach any target machine from academy. I tried both my own machine with vpn and Pwnbox
Can I DM you regarding this? I though I was on the right track but I'm still lost
are you sure you are using the correct ovpn certificate? Does the vpn connection work but you can't ping the machine once you are on the network?
if so, did you remember to spawn the target machine?
i tried to change vpn connection (no result) , Pwnbox different server , respawn target . not working for me
aany ideas why the LFI skill assesment on the ||log poisoning|| part is basically impossible to do through default burp install / settings?
I had to curl my way through it
idk why , but it started to work again . Guess admin buff xD
haha π
once I SSH into a target machine on my Parrot VM, the terminal gets so slow, I can basically brew myself a tea while I wait for a command I typed in to appear. Maybe there's just a lot of server load lately.
I rdped onto a target, lasted for a few secs then it closed itself and now I can no longer rdp into it....very weird, not sure what to do sometimes I am spending more time debugging these issues than on the contents of the materials themselves....
mb mb , ty for response
sure, no worries
and again I get access for 30 seconds almost get to run a command and it closes itself again
write it in mousepad and ctrl+v it in
will take as long to type in as it would one letter
that. Is an excellent idea π
yea, get used to it π . Lotta latency on them targets sadly
ISDN era Problems require ISDN era solutions π
I will pretend that I got the reference LOL
latency is one thing but losing access to the machine intermittently is another
You don't have much to do... just patience...
well, it's the type of dial-up connection you had before DSL
oh yeah try the uhm
it wasn't fast
/bpp:8 /compression -auto-reconnect -wallpaper +f -clipboard
flags to xfreerdp
use ctrl+alt+enter to leave fullscreeen
it's shit and it will be shit. had to go through the same process. In one module in particular I basically had to cheat past one creds step because that's the only way I could finish the exercise without using RDP
interesting, thanks for the settings, I guess this is where I should have thought outside the box
cool ? I guess? I mean now that you explained it it is kinda funny
no not really that's a quality issue : p
I mean RDP will always have more latency than remote shells
but this is unacceptable. Whenever I had an issue like that I wondered "would an employee working in such an environment be able to get anything done" great way to discern quality issue from your own skill issue
KEKW. I had a german friend lately explain to me what it means to be a "german potatoe" or some shit like that. With the lawbook and industrial standard thingy and stuff. almost spilled me coffee that time
BUT, do research on other tools than HTB suggests. There are some hidden perls out there : p
you mean like more stable RDP clients ?
no that's just RDP being RDP and latency being what it is. Oh also increase the timeout using a flag I forget what's it called exactly just go xfreerdp --help | grep time and set that to 100000
well, excessively exact standards and regulations often sound silly in isolation, but then again, it makes the supply chain more resillient against greed the same way standards and regulations in development can make applications more robust and secure in production π There are some really funny ones though, the EU in large has them too
good catch on the timeout flag
np, one of the community moderators taught me that flag combination
okay, Im off to play some apex to chill after that LFI BS I had to go through
hf
happy haacking and good luck. Feel free to dm me anytime if you've got any questions greenhorn.
I appreciate that
I'm pretty sure a malicious IP just attacked the Pwnbox I was in while I was working on the skills assessment for AD. I have some screenshots. Where do I report it? The IP came back as a known malicious IP in VirusTotal. I dont even know if this is the right section in Discord XD
Probably just send a explanation of the incident to HTB Support
I'm just curious, how did you find that it was attacked?
Was in the middle of skills assessment with python3 -m http.server on the generated IP. Then, a random out of scope IP started downloading and sending requests to the box.
Thatβs weird as hell
Yeah it was rather strange so I took a screenshot of the 5 requests that were made in a second, terminated box/session. Thought I'd report it.
Wait but wasnt that ip internal then? Like 10.x?
how did you think that you can access pwnbox, if there is no connection with "the outside world"? π
Web
well, I mean if he is hosting a webserver on it
at the very least I thought someone could tell me I was wrong and at least tell me why otherwise could be useful information?
Can I share screenshot on this thread? Maybe someone can illuminate me, if I'm dumb or not.
i would love to see it ngl
When you host an http server on a machine with a real ip address, it'll try to expose a port on that IP address to the internet for web-access. So, your pawnbox may have been web-accessible at that point. Does look like it from the screenshot.
There are bots that will scan far and wide for accessible ips on all sorts of ports to try and find vulnerabilities. If you expose a service with default authentication credentials, that becomes a potential attack vector for turning the machine into a botnet bot. It's kind of what the labs challenges are about.
||wrong channel mb||
rly? but that made sense, it could have been a crawler lol Not all bots mapping accessible ips also do attacks, some just map the internet
That's actually good information. Learned something new then. Do yall think this should be reported or nah? IP in VirusTotal shows malicioua
While it may very well have been a malicious IP, I doubt it would have found anything interesting. Since it only made GET requests and a PRI request and didn't get anything, it should be fine.
had to look up PRI requests, actually, so I learned something too lol
On the servers I manage, requests like this and worse come in constantly. It's a real barrage π They try to go right for the juicy stuff too.
I just definitely wasn't ready to see that in the environment so I thought I'd say something just in case xD.
Seems like a solid proceedure. And now we both learned something, net benefit all around π
Yeah forreal. I'll take that!
Hi guys, someone can help me to understand a problem in the module Stack Base Overflow with Windows x86? I have write a post, in the forum, with the details https://forum.hackthebox.com/t/stack-based-buffer-overflows-on-windows-x86-jmp-esp/282719/5?u=thor.elveneyes
maybe vt said it's mailicious because it's some automatic tool that is scanning internet all the time. There are a lot of people, who doesn't have really good intentions, who are you using automatic scanning tools to find "intersting things"... imagine that an admin is exposing in internet an insecure server for like one hour. Finding something like is pure gold..
yeah, that stuff can happen very easily.
Would yall recommend a different method of file transferring? I was moving mimikatz and printspoofer. Or just use a different default port?
remmina is stupid easy
what's the scope? Are you transferring on the same machine, between machines on the same network or over the internet?
10.129.x.x to 172.16.7.x on Skills Assessment 2 - AD. So, different networks. Using SSH to get from one to another. RDP port not open for remmina though that's typically what I use for RDP sessions.
@pseudo birch is SFTP or RSync an option? I can't really assist on this one, I'm not that experienced with network stuff on windows yet Gotta get into that Windows Fundamentals Module first xD
You can dm me
since SFTP should use SSH it would probably be a question of whether the service is available or installable
Negative unfortunately. I could see if I could upload SMB and go that route. Python3 -m http.server is just super quick. Because I'm having to xfer from host to attack machine to sql machine then onto DC
sometimes you can enable rdp
i haven't done that module though so i don't know specifically about that
might be worth a try. See if you have enough privileges to enable/install stuff
honestly downloading through a remmina copy/paste is going to be just about as fast or slower than using the command line to grab it from the python webserver you have
establish the ssh connection in vs-code, having vs-code install the vs-code server package on the target machine, then see if you can get into the explorer and download/upload stuff via the editor π
I doubt that'll work, but if it does, I'd say it'd probably be up there with the worst possible solutions.
i use smb or python or evil-winrm to transfer files
or meterpreter ; p
Honestly one of 3 reasons I use it π
outside of that, if you've got a fancier keyboard / mouse, set up a macro to paste a command template to fill out
Hello all, I have a question about setting up the HTB Parrot OS on VMware in the Setting Up module. Everytime I close the VM and turn it back on, it asks me to install Try/Install. Will it always do this? Am I setting it up incorrectly? Do I have to do the Parrot OS installation on the desktop every time I power it on?
Change boot order/dismount the iso
It's booting from the cd first
Which is the install iso, and not the vhd you installed
Thanks for the quick response, I will try this
can someone give me a oneliner for powershell to upload a file over ftp to my kali?
lost all my notes, my vm crashed, had to setup a new one π¦
iam stuck at snmp footprinting. snmpwalk and snmp-check both are giving "SNMP request timeout". applied delay too. sometimes the query is working, sometimes it does'nt work. Its the same query. is it some kind of glitch or it is meant that way?
Whats the timeout you set?
If you dont set a long enough of timeout the script will well just go over the user too fast and it wont get a response from the server yet, meaning it will drop the user
The sweet spot id say was 15-20s
Around that
is the certificates unstable ?\
25
Got the problem. The target ip is getting offline. smh
rip. But for me it was smoothly enum users without any glitches. So yea make sure your target stable
been happening from 2 days. target ip goes offline in between.
:/ i havent worked on the path in a few days since i got ill, if you want you can send the command you used and ill check if its correct
Do you have openvpn running in multiple places? Do you see multiple instances from ps aux | grep openvpn?
If you do, each client will fight each other for the connection, resulting in your lab connection going up and down frequently
Jusz spawned mine, works fine for me avg 8ms on a ping. And did some scanning had no interruptions
"works fine"
yeah that might be it
killall openvpn, or just reboot and give it another go. Hope it helps!
using pwnbox now
Note on Pwnbox it connects to the VPN automatically on your selected lab, so you don't need to run the openvpn command yourself
is vpn not working rn
snmpwalk -t25 -v2c -c public 10.129.185.100 . is it right? I'am getting timeout issues
Ah snmp check?? Wait i though you were the guy with the smtp question before
Fk my bad
On the snmp section you dont need any timeouts
So yea your command without the t25
yeah same guy. just different module now
Timeout: No Response from 10.129.185.100
Yea sorry smtp and snmp if you check fast are very simmilar.
Have you tried changinf vpn servers?
237ms is the minium. F
I jsut ran the command and i got all the info instantly
What about eu academy to 2?
using pwnbox
Well im pretty sure that matters aswell which server since pwnbox is based on it
Pwnbox connects to it automaticly
- has the location
yeah checking out different servers now. dk wtf is going on
--- 10.129.185.100 ping statistics ---

wtf seriously
π5 recieved is wild
missing those days, when ping respinse used to be fast.
look at dat packet loss xD
i wish if i got those marks in school. lol
That's a pretty mental loss / latency. Which lab server / target?
(on Pwnbox I think you said?)
snmp footprinting. academy module. UK server.
Got a link to the module / section please?
wish to be done with footprinitng module. done with snmp finally
i have the full output of the snmpwalk in a file, i could send it here for him, its just the output, he still needs to find the correct stuff in there, and his command above was correct
can i report anywhere, son of a gun. target goes offline midway
I guess its just real time practice. Unintentional real time frustration
first i though ots 96% recieved which well still not optimal but nothing WOW. then double looked 
something wrong with servers? my target keeps dying on windows priv esc
finally someone going through same
yes when i try to connect with xfreerdp
i have to keep doing ping to check if target is up, then run the command
yea same but it wont come back up this time
iam on different module bud. but going through same

they lied to me... should have been 1k
I did face some issues - I've reset the Pwnbox a couple of times and it's now come up fine and can access the target. Unsure what's going on there - might be an issue with one of the nodes hosting Pwnboxes.
Could you try terminating / starting the Pwnbox again, and when it's up check if you've got tun0 in ifconfig?
i think i tried bout 15 different targets now
problem is target dying midway.
ohh just noticed you are the staff member
academy-eu-1, yes?
Connect to Pwnbox

I'm getting the following error from evil-winrm with credentials I picked up from nxc:
Error: An error of type OpenSSL::Digest::DigestError happened, message is Digest initialization failed: initialization error
got tun0. still target is down.
been like this for hours
Mind if I DM?
sure
Does anyone have any ideas regarding my evil-winrm error? Error: An error of type OpenSSL::Digest::DigestError happened, message is Digest initialization failed: initialization error
Okay, it is working through pwnbox...but now none of the commands work.
Except for cd
switch to eu-academy-2 vpn. eu-academy-1 is having some problems
@valid viper
The issues on eu-academy-1 should be resolved now
Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused π¦
This still isn't working for me.
I'm connected via PowerShell over pwnbox, but the commands are timing out.
And then it's disconnecting.
Can you DM me your VPN IP and target IP please?
Thanks for your post!
if you do http://127.0.0.1:3002, connection stays open and for port 2222 it errors. I would assume this is POC.

im on getting started lab i found the username and password ||admin:admin|| the login page is at ||/admin ||but idk what to set for targetURI
Might want to look up what a URI is, that should give you the answer
its the full url but in the prev examle they just put down the nibbleblog and not full url
Can't say, not sure where my notes went for that, I'm missing half the module including the lab. If I had to guess it should just be the IP, if that fails just add the rest.
I don't recall needing to change the uri but it's been a minute
I used a regular poc for that instead of metasploit
Hello. I got a flag while solving the nmap problem, but I wonder what the solution is.

BloodHoung is making me very confused. While looking at the data I collected while in a domain-joined machine, it clearly states that the user X has no admin or RDP privileges on machine Y. But I just found out that user X can in fact RDP to X and run admin commands. What gives? SharpHound is compatible with my version of BloodHound.

Hey guys was doing the Learning Process module, but couldn't understand a part where it's being defined what is a question:
Let us, therefore, create a situation with a question to test this statement. Let us assume we see host A and host B. To do this, we can ask the following question, which we will also ask during our penetration tests:
How is Host A connected to Host B?Our goal was to obtain or acquire information with the help of the question posed. Did we obtain or acquire any information from this question? - No. Regardless of the form of the questions asked, strictly speaking, the official definition of the question also missed the point.
Context: The module is debating about how the official definition of question doesn't always apply and gives the example of the question above: How is Host A connected to Host B? and then says that we do not acquire the any information from this question, however don't we? For example Host A could be connected to Host B with a cooper wire, so that's the information we obtain after posing the question.
I know this a weird question, but I wanted to see what point the creators are trying to convey that I'm failing to understand, if anyone could answer that'd be great!
They are looking for the NT part of hash only!
Thanks. Then there's a case where tcp opens with -D RND so I can get a flag and I'm so curious if this is just a bug.
what did your command look like?
-D RND from what i remember is used to specify a decoy scan
Always be thinking about things, basically
The other thing is more of a networking question than physically how it's connected
Hello everyone. I'm quite stuck on a module and it has been 3 days with no respose from my HTB academy support request. I was hoping one of you may be able to help/clear something up for me.
Module: Using Web Proxies
Section: Proxying Tools
[RESOLVED] Issue: the section mentions editing proxychains.conf but I don't have the permissions in the VM to save the advised changes to get proxychains working.
[RESOLVED]Question/Concern: wtf am I supposed to be looking for/doing to pass the section question? I have started burp and metaspoloit. I've set the "use auxiliary/scanner/http/http_put" but when sending the "run" command while monitoring via burp I get "error: file doest seem to exist. the upload probably failed"
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for/doing at this point as this module just feels all bugged out.
EDIT for anyone looking for an actual answer:
How-to: edit proxychains.conf:
open MATE terminal
enter command: sudo vi /etc/proxychains.conf
to enter insert mode- hit the letter "i". you will see -insert- at the bottom.
move to where you want to insert the "http 127.0.0.1" and/or go to remove the # from the #quitemode line.
hit esc/escape to exit insert mode and enter back to "command mode"
type :w or :wq , :wq saves and quites the terminal. :w only saves.
note: looks like sudo vi lets you modify as root whereas sudoedit will only save the modified version under var/temp/
Use sudo to edit it then
good idea but still no dice. cant save over the file in its base directory. root/etc/.
Sudo works for me to edit files I might not be able to write to as user
is that a generic statement or is this the process you used to modify the proxychains.conf file when you were doing the module?
When I've needed to edit, yes
is the optional exercise necessary?
it's optional but recommended
but im lazy dont want to write 500 words
It says at most
that's fine
Not at min
Alrighty ty!
ok
It was sometimes on tcp ports through the command below. I was wondering why it was on tcp.
*nmap -T4 -p53 -A -v {ip} -D RND:5
*nmap -T4 -p53 -v {ip} --source-port 21
No clue then lol. Both commands scan tcp ports.
I dont remember getting anything usefull from the tcp ports
Dns runs on both tcp/udp
Yea but the flag im pretty sure is || only seen from thr udp onr ||

Footprinting medium lab. He apperently got it somehow differently
doesnt ring a bell for me
Hey guys, stupid question but I need to make sure. Once I complete the modules, they are mine correct? If I donβt finish the module, then I have to pay for it again right?
once you complete it, it's yours forever
If I miss one little portion of the module, then canβt be re-looked at right
Letβs say I do it all but forget the final assessment etc etc
then you won't have access to the module once your subscription expires
if you unlock a module with cubes, then i think you keep it forever regardless of completion
OK, so the entire module needs to be 100% completed not a single question missed
yes

try checking the Debugging section again
iirc there's something there that can potentially help
my last attempt would be to use inetsim let me try that
@dim wolf llittle confused on what to do here
set it to your vm IP, not target IP
actually you cant use inetsim here if you don't know the domain name it's connecting to
yeah thats the problem i thought about
you will just have to try and use wireshark
I think I used IDA to solve that one. Inetsim was only used on orange
alr ill use wireshark
Possible that it was x64dbg
for wireshark do i just start a capture, run the exe, and start looking?
If you're asking that then you should go over the traffic analysis module again

Discord only uses the main platform for the identify command. What's the issue since your account is already verified?
I thought there was an academy role, but maybe I am good
There is just for cert holders at the academy.
if I get a cert, how would that be verified?
It's pinned at least in the CPTS chan
got it, thanks!
what tool do you use to enter the password into a .img (bitlocker) so that you can mount afterwards
hi guys. is available a specific module on htb where to learn how to build malware from scratch?
or where to find it? thank you
vpn is not working from yersterday what i can do
Download a new VPN file
Then reach out to support
k
thank you. Is this one the best website?
can i start from scratch there?
yeah one of the best and well you need to know how to program in C they will go over C but not as in depth but sure u can
They were ppl having like 96% packet loss yesterday on eu academy 1 vpn. They fixed it but maybe they still struggling. You tried changing thaz too? If not support best chance
anyone know how to access Kibana on the pwnbox or is this something I have to set up myself? Trying to do the SOC Analyst path and I am on "Introduction To The Elastic Stack", can't seem to find anything on pwnbox to do the task
Password Attacks Hard Lab
i got the password from one of the .img that were inside of the B......vhd
now i try to use dislocker to decrypt the .img but i cant get it to work, does it mean the password is wrong?
intermediate level of C programming is enough to start the course?
and should I also learn assembly x86 before starting?
that is good enough maybe more than good enough
Guys grep '^re.*\.exe$' example.txt is this the correct way to filter out word that starts with "re" and ends with ".exe" in a .txt file?
i never used eu 1 , the problem was in my vmware NAT setting
u dont need to i believe
Yea It filters lines in example.txt that start with "re" and end with ".exe".
I usually always make a dummy file. Put some stuff in and test if it works. There is always a chance that you/someone else looking at a regex misses smthing
ok thank you. When assembly x86 should be learnt? only for malware analysis jobs?
i am not sure about that but im sure you will learn more about it along the way in maldevacadmey and their discord channel which will help you alot

Colleagues I have a question, I'm in the ssh tom but I can't find a way to find the HTB user, what I see is a script reovery.sh module Footprinting --> hard lab
maybe you can look at what commands tom used before
I see several strings like changing the password for Tom @fringe urchin
anyone not able to get vpn working? just went down for me in the middle of a section 5 minutes ago
chpasswd: (user tom) pam_chauthtok() failed, error: @fringe urchin
Yea i guess it failed. Any ither thing that looks interesting? Maybe he tried to login to a service or smthing
I see that you are generally changing your password but you have not been able to make the change
@fringe urchin I see that you are generally changing your password but you have not been able to make the change
history can often be useful
There is a mysql service in bash_history you would have to log in on this side to be able to log in****
I'm having an issue with the ACTIVE DIRECTORY ENUMERATION & ATTACKS module. I'm trying to exploit the PrintNightmare vulnerability with CVE-2021-1675.py exploit. I followed the lab instructions but I keep getting an error when I try to use the exploit
Yep
It shows you how he logged in
Please is there anyone that can assist me with this. I'm trying to send an screenshot of the error but it's not working
Hello
Bash history is what i was refering to
Sorry that it confused you
thats on me
I see that I have to access a mysql service but what I can't find is the password for that service @fathom pendant @fringe urchin
You have it
bash history
Don't overthink
What I can deduce in the strings is that I couldn't change the password and in the hsitorial it leaves the mysql service to be seen but I'm trying to log in with the password and it won't let you access @fathom pendant
You habe the toms oassword from before

Hi all, I'm working on "Attacking Web Applications with ffuf" on the "recursive fuzzing" sub-module. Attempting to answer the question "use what you've learned so far to find the flag". What I've done so far is: 1) fuzz index for possible file extensions 2) after confirming the file extension, I start a recursive "scan". but I'm not finding any new directories. 3) back to step one, I'm currently performing another directory scan to verify that I've not missed any directories. Is there something obvious I'm missing from the content?
I dont remember from where the password change is but its not important in this contennt. The only info you gez from it is, the password failed to be changed and its still thr same as before
So try to internally login like its shown in bash history
Shit is that I have a problem starting the mysql service, sorry for the inconvenience from my local machine @fringe urchin @fathom pendant
You don't need to start it
No. You dont login to the msql via your machine
But via the ssh tom session
'Cause I never thought about it π¦
Well if you see commands from bash history it means they were run on that shell, so most of the times these kind of commands you can run too, that applies to msqs aswell .
Did you manage to do it?
Esotoy performing the queries in the database

I've made it thanks to @fringe urchin
congratz! Btw which file is it where it says he failed the password change. I sadly dont have the name in my poorly written writeup
Or is it in bash history?(I dont have the full bash copied)
I've found it through snmpwalk where the strings indicate that the passwords could not be changed @fringe urchin
Ah snmpwalk. Ty for the answer. I started doing proper writeups at shells and payloads
During the walk
Are modules ever broken? I'm doing the Skill Assessment of the Command Injection Module. I'm litearlly sitting here for a full 6 hrs and I am as far as I was when I started. I read through the entire module 2 times and I am not even sure if I am working with the correct field. It never says anything unless I put in less than 3 characters π£
That module is not broken
ty
feel free to DM me if you need some tips
yea jusz checked. Have only the password from the walk
glad i do em better now
omg this module is so big, finnaly i can head to the next module phew
What's the error... What did you try?
RPRN Session error: code 0Γ2 - ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND - The system cannot find the file specified
You're going to need to provide more than that. Your question and response is that of telling a doctor over the phone your leg hurts and expecting them to know everything.
What did you try? Also you said a lab, which one?
It would be easier if I can send screenshots but I don't know why I can't send images on here. Is it alright if we solve this in the DM?
No, read #welcome to verify your account, you'll be able to add images then. Also no because someone else may have a similar issue and it could help them down the road. And lastly no cause I come and go and between me disappearing someone else may chime in to offer as well.
What section?
What command(s) did you use?
Not saying any of that to be mean, but to help.
You also need to be at least the rank of Hacker in order to post images AFAIK
Not in the academy chans as far as I'm aware
Aha
nvm. got it. π
That's only in #general
use -v for verbose mode
--verbose - the option is shown right there π
omg
If in doubt, run man <command>, e.g. man crackmapexec to read the documentation π
is smb runing on remote server
--verbose needs to come before smb
@onyx halo i think so, it just has port 22, 139, 445
it doesnt look like its attempting brute forcing
It really doesn't... you have a tun0 up in ifconfig?
Might be a dumb question but you still connected to the VPN?
yes to both
tun0 is up / vpn is still running and connected
im on password attacks medium lab if that helps
DM me the VPN server you're connected to, your tun0 IP and the target IP
smbmap -H <host> -r ?

so i got connected again, found \myaccount share. but dont have a username yet. can you maybe help point me in the right direction? should i try hydra on ssh?
maybe add more slashes
////10.129.75.79//myaccount
maybe you have to escape the slashes in the name.
Other slashes, I think
\\\\<ip>\\<account>
Also check man smbclient for usage examples
I gotta go, good luck
Yeah, re-read the material @novel hinge
There are examples there of how to use smbclient
he is correct it's smbclient //<fqdn/ip>/<share/
but his error says nt bad network name
so there's something going on there
That's not what the module documentation states
The attacking common services / smb section will provide info
Could be that's under Powershell?
They're running under a bash shell
Anyway, the module documentation in the Password Attacks > Network Services has the information you need to use smbclient
nn
Get some sleep
which module is this? i did most of the ones with smbclient but i don't have notes on /myaccount

hi i am stuck on footprinting easy lab. when trying to connect to ftp proxy nc -nv 10.129.54.11 2121 the server just hangs after sending the banner
type ls
im not logged in so it returns nothing
nevermind, reseting the lab fixed it π€·ββοΈ
still interested to know if the ftp proxy is supposed to hang when connecting
Sometimes that lab just breaks, or I've never been patient with it
not sure if this is another error on the lab's part, but i copied .ssh/id_rsa to my home folder w/ perms 600 and its denying it when using -i id_rsa
Using correct username?
chmod, correct path to id_rsa?
Your command is correct
yep, id_rsa is in the same directory that im running SSH
Check the id_rsa file to see if it is correct?
i re downloaded and its the exact same size
i even b64 encoded it and compared the first and 2nd download and theyre the same
Like make sure no extra new line in file
i guess? Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Ok I feel kinda dumb for having to ask this.. in the Using CrackMapExec module, Basic SMB Reconnaissance section, the last question is What's the OS version? The should be simple from what I can see, but no matter what I try to put in for the answer, it says incorrect...
did u run a nmap -sV?
yeah
show the screenshot
just running crackmap smb give me the OS as well...
it's tier III so probs not super easy
of the answer or the command?
I don't have that module but if you try to connect it should just spit out the os on the first line
in xss and file inclusion php payload are used , should i be expert in php or should i know enough what the code is doing
ohh its not CPTS.
Anyone can help me?
Module: Password Attacks
Section: Lab hard
I get the kdbx file, so I try guess the pass but, I'm waiting for hours, is this a rabbit hole? I get the first user, just J...
Just enough to write really dangerous code
You should be able to crack it - if it helps afterwards is a different question. π
thats mean i have be expert
Only if there was a tool to use to help extract a hash, alas I wouldn't know...
there will be like js , php , python and low level lang
you can dm me
bruhhhhhhhhhhh
No
where can i learn about php , rn i was using w3school
or anyother coding lang
Ok, i'll wait jajaj
As a rule of thumb: It never should take more than maximum 10 minutes to crack something with HTB - more like 5.
lol
lol, what?
lol waht u said
Unless a module is about brute forcing you generally don't need to use brute force, and should avoid it.
I check my notes, maybe I do something wrong
you can DM if you need help on that part
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
the password cracking module can take more than 10 min
I'm not sure where to ask, but I'm trying to work on the new box Usage...
And I can't ping the box. I tried re-downloading the VPN.
too slow @tulip dragon
'You do not have access to this link.'
Okay well...
I also can't get retired boxes to spin up either.
Is HTB just FUBAR at the moment?
So the machines that I can get to won't spin up, and machines that I can't get to will spin up.
fine for me, what vpn are you using? not academy still right
No, I'm using the right VPN.
Machine is spawning, please stand by...
This is what I'm getting for retired boxes.
well, I am using the vip boxes, someone else just reported an issue in #cpts so maybe the free ones are overloaded
pretty sure its site-wide
my academy lab isnt launching either
It's not just the labs, but the boxes
And for some reason it's defaulting to EU instead of the US.
Alright, well I guess HTB is done for a while.
π
appears to be back @valid viper
Thanks man. Yeah I'll check it tomorrow, hopefully it'll still be up π
why academy guided lab machine are so slow.
Is there anyone else having issues connecting to the target machines via the modules?
hey! im struggling on just one question on the Windows Attacks & Defense module, in the Print Spooler & NTLM Relaying section, is this the right place to ask for advice?
Are you trying to exploit PrintNightmare?
no its the question dealing with preventing the PrinterBug attack. The question specifically is:
After performing the previous attack, connect to DC1 (172.16.18.3) as 'htb-student:HTB_@cademy_stdnt!' and make the appropriate change to the registry to prevent the PrinterBug attack. Then, restart DC1 and try the same attack again. What is the error message seen when running dementor.py?
i feel like im for sure missing something simple, i was able to do the question before it with no issues but am stuck here...
I'm not familiar with the PrinterDebug attack
Yea just keep trying, I'm sure you'll figure it out
no worries! if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to @ or dm me! :))
Hello, i am on the nmap module and looking into ids/ips evasion. I am trying the technique with the ACK scan (-sA) combined with a 5 ips decoy and it just runs soooo sloow. I know -sA runs slower than the syn scan but it barely goes 1% in about 20min. Is that to be expected?

Hey guys! Anyone encountered this issue on the module Windows Event Logs & Finding Evil-Tapping Into ETW: After I started capturing ETW events I created the cmd command process form spoolsv.exe but I cannot find any process id info in the etw.json file. No log info about this spoolsv.exe.
Hi everyone, I'm on the Windows privesc module from cpts path. I'm playing with permissive registry ACLs in attacking the os/weak permissions section. I was able to complete it with other privesc in the section but this particular method seems like a dead end from htb-student user perspective. The course example is to use accesschk.exe with 'mrb3n' as user. That dumps a lot of 'KEY_ALL_ACCESS'.
With htb-student, we got some permission like CREATE_SUB_KEY in BTAGService, so ok i write a setting and link the setting IMAGEPATH to a netcat command. But first the BTAGService is a bluetooth thing, i guess it is just disabled in the vm, I can't restart it, it does not start after reboot and then I don't know if a setting I own in a service will trigger the command. I tried the technique in my home lab where i was able, as admin, to create a service and give a low priv user KEY_ALL_ACCESS, so i know it works. Am I missing something here or the course was just stating 'this technique exists'? I'm asking because I can't think straight about it anymore... Thanks!
I don't think you can do that with this module. I think it's just saying if you have permissions over the registry key you can abuse it.
Thanks!
how can I get access to this channel?

Hello, I'm on "SeImpersonate and SeAssignPrimaryToken" page of "WINDOWS PRIVILEGE ESCALATION" module.
The page says ' Attackers often abuse this privilege in the "Potato style" privescs - where a service account can SeImpersonate, but not obtain full SYSTEM level privileges.'
What is the reason why it is called "potato style"?π₯
The original exploit was called "Hot Potato" and there have been several modifications, such as "Juicy Potato," "Rotten Potato," "God Potato," etc, so they've become known as potato attacks
ah thank you, it's not related to real potato π

help with windows attacks and defence
it seems like everyone is getting this error with impacket-ntlmrelayx
.
screw rdp its slow as tortoise
Hey
anyone done with Print Spooler & NTLM Relaying section?
in windows attacks and defence
nice idea but not there yet
i've performed that exploit but not that module
i keep getting errors from ntlmrelay
well that's not good
why do we even need rdp for kali :( its so slow, if i type it appears after like 30 seconds
i think you can also ssh
i think they have a firewall blocking ssh
nvm i got ssh now
wow the exploit worked with ssh
screw rdp again, ssh ftw
samAccountName != UPN
Yup, got it.
lol
i found the error and submitted it but i doesnt accept ( i dont understand the format)
I assume this isn't the pentester path.
when you connect via winrm it doesn't pass your tickets, so when you use sharphound to gather data it is as if you were unauthenticated, that is also the last error message in your screenshot
check the hint
after few minutes i got a different error and it was accepted
hi everyone
I'm trying to complete the exercise to find a flag in one of the services by using the nse and it's scripts
so far I have :
ran nmap with --script all against various services
tried running various scripts targetted to the service running on the port
Without you telling us the module and section you stuck on we have have a hard time giving help
ah yes
My message seems to not have sent. So I am on the nmap enumeration module
Network Enumeration with Nmap
section nmap scripting engine
The 80 port could be interesting
Hello. Do you know if the skills assessments of the modules can be solved independently? Or should I grab information from the easy ones to solve the hard ones? Thanks.
thanks schainy
i have a question... does nmap select scripts based on the service detected running on the port if combined with sV?
so nmap -sV --script all -p80 <target>
will that result in only scripts that are relevant to the service running on the port 80?
setup what?
so sV will try and detect the service and version of the one running on the open port, and with --sccript all it will select from the Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) that are relevant to that service.
most of them can be solved seperatly, but i wouldnt be suprised if deeper into the module you would need to use the creds from before, but most likely it will be written in the description of the challange
to get the flag you need to visit the website aswell and check if the vuln/ or any other stuff can give you more infoπ€ just looking at nmap for detail wont help you in a lot of cases. (Dont overthink hard)
The skill assessments tend to be independent

I'm getting following error on visual studio: CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Data' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Windows' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Just using the same code as in example. I'm using own windows machine. I tried adding reference to PresentationFramework but did not help. Not familiar with visual studio.

odp.MethodName = "Start";
}
}
}
isnt the using system windows data used for GUIs programs and yours is a console application? i mean thats the only thing that has data in?
I don't know. Picture said to use console application.
Then we come to another problem: There will be an error regarding ObjectDataProvider. Visual Studio will not reference the necessary namespace by itself for this class, so it is necessary to hover over it, select Show potential fixes and then select using System.Windows.Data; (from PresentationFramework)
I have to use that to fix another error
was it shown to use framework? or core'
It only says this: With Visual Studio installed, we can open it and create a new Console App (.NET Framework).

Can't get it to work now. Im going to try this with pwnbox tomorrow, even though it was recommend to try on own machine.
pwnbox isnt windows is it?
I don't think most of the stuff for advanced deser will work underlinux
There was a windows lab setup where I can rdp, not really a pwn box
Basically instead of exercise box you can spawn yourself a windows machine which has those tools installed
I don know that for two packages you have to add them in vis studio in that course
like you create a .Net app but also you have to do something in the vis studio itself to modify what libs you include to get that to work

anyone know how to copy a file from rdp to my machine using the /drive , I get access denied
should be \\tsclient\<shareName>
yes but when I move the file from the windows to \tsclient\share , I got access denied

check esc
do you mean ntlmrelayx.py -t ldap://172.16.117.3 -smb2support --escalate-user 'plaintext$' --no-dump -debug?
yes , I can see the files , copy from the share to the windows machine ,
but not vice versa asking if there's a way to copy from the windows to my machine
never seen that happen, you can use other ways, smb, upload server, etc
esc as in adcs
oh okay
i figured that was the step for the later questions x.x
i can see bytes becoz so slow ;/
the rdp is exposed on a specific port behind an other machine so is kinda of pain
lol , I just need to run xfreerdp as sudo
that's why I've asked you if you have access to the dir that you're sharing

Let's go only 2 to go, this one was a fun module
i'm still working on the enumeration with nmap module. Trying to find the flag in the nse scripts section. What format is the flag supposed to be in?
HTB{..}
I do have a question about something that came up in one of the Windows privesc assessments, without spoiling anything I was wondering why I would get more hashes when I use secretsdump.py vs dumping lsass and using mimikatz directly on the target machine? I was trying to get the hashes using mimikatz but was having no luck and secretsdump.py took the same lssas.dmp and got all the hashes I needed
Lsa and lsass are different things. I doubt it used the same lsass.dmp file
I remember i used --script vuln
And one of those many "vulns" was the correct one π€
hmmm i want to be more selective with the scripts i run against the service as it takes a long time
ah right okay that's a great point I always conflate the two in my mind because of the similar letters
sudo nmap -Pn -v -p80 --script "(not dos and not fuzzer) and http-*" 10.129.2.49 -oA http_scripts_port80
The more time you spend being selective, ironically the more time you spend not getting the answer
But my question remains, is there a way to get similar output from Mimikatz that I was getting from secretsdump.py? The relevant module section outlined dumping lsass using procdump and then suggested some mimikatz commands to dump the hashes, which is what I was doing but not getting any of the hashes that secretsdump got
Just doing --script vuln should be fine
I don't believe so
It's one of those quirk things
Gotcha appreciate the answer
I got the hostname of the device and operating system for medium lab of footprinting module. I have the username because they gave it. so how do I get the password?
i'm running sudo nmap -v -p80 --script "vuln" 10.129.2.49 -oA http_scripts_port80
Use the many techniques mentioned in the module
i could be a bit more precise with -n and -Pn etc. but should still yield more output I think....
Having an issue with access : RDP to 10.129.225.217 with user "svc_backup" and password "HTB_@cademy_stdnt!". It keep's saying password incorrect. This is on the Windows Built-in Groups part of the Windows Escalation module.
Why you want more? Im pretty sure the list is long enough
You don't need quotes for vuln
same result.... with or without. The quotes are just to stop shell interpreting characters like spaces i guess?
Also sometimes just exploring can help. You might see a certain txt file
Nvm, xfreerdp worked for some reason
@zealous rune
Just because they gave you thr "HTB" username, doesnt mean its in the path. Its more of what username you need to find at the end to get the correct flag
Since its in the question
You do need a password
ok
And there's a wordlist you can bruteforce with
you will find about that in the end, there is many steps between you and HTB. you need a password but not for HTB user
wait its footprinting medium, there is no need to bruteforce
then why won't it let me log into RDP as HTB user
ah ceil, yea ceil is easy lab, ehm the a*** is the medium one
Yeah I just meant that's the one I was thinking
cuz there doesnt exist a HTB user where RDP is running
ok thanks
Read carefully: htb user is the last step. You don't need to do anything after getting his pw as I believe that's the answer to the skill assessment question
well I can't RDP in just with domain or IP address
No. But there's ways to enumerate a user
Look at the open ports and techniques to enumerate them
then you missing something, you didnt enumerate enough
Ty tho now I recall the steps
ok I will keep enumerating
Look at all the sections and see which ones match up to what you see
ok i see
although in practice i would likely have used gobuster and web enum scripts to get there....
All in perspective
well its one of the first pages pentesters usually visit.
This is showing how to get there from nmap first
although this is a good lesson in paying attention to detail
you will get enough of that lesson 
i guess in "my process" i would say that once i identify http server, i'm noting this and to further enumerate the web service i would go to whatweb and gobuster and other specialised tools/scripts for webserver enumeration
NTLM RELAY ATTACKS skills assment question 2:
i have used ntlmrelayx.py ||-t ldap://172.16.117.3 -smb2support --no-da --no-acl --lootdir ldap_dump|| to enmrate the domain and get usernames
||dob mozhar sqladm Administrator Guest krbtgt||
from reading other questions it looks like i need to use the cleartext password taken from the sql_ftp_test account with responder?
however no combo of those account names and the password seems to work. Anyone do this before that can point me in the right direction?
has anyone had problems with xfreerdp not loading recently
Have you tried pressing enter after it pops up?
Did you put the password in single quotes?
Download a new vpn pack for your account
Don't forget to close and delete the old vpn
Nope
Done that, ser
The difference, if any, would be negligble
You don't need domain
Did you copy/paste the pw?
Did you also copy/paste?
Nah
what does certificate got to do with it
Sure sure
Don't matter, if it works, no touchy
I love how it says logon failure but it still lets me in 
fair point
let's not forget this manz request
maybe at the end the 013 was changed to a newer one 
I am running into this very problem. DId you find out what's wrong?
if you use impacket tools try -debug
btw on AEN the priv esc does not trigger
and its slow AF
i am so fed up
the path is so good, the technical part is so fucked up
I am stuck at the command injection section Bypassing Other Blacklisted Characters, i am stuck i tried this ls%09${HOME:0:1}home but nothing shows up
nvm solved
what a pain
was it worth it?
from learning perspective , yes
Is anyone available to help with Active Directory Enumeration and Attacks Skills Assessment II? I am having trouble figuring out how to access MS01 as administrator.

Not any that give admin permissions
Skills Assessment - Intro to Whitebox Pentesting
Has anyone succesfully uncommented the ||// router.post("/cat", cat);|| on the live server and gotten it to work? I can do it when I run my own Node server, but doesn't work on the live one. I'm guessing because my changes are not being made while the server is up and I have no way to force the server to reload my code. I find this absolutely insane that I spent hours developping a payload that can do this, but in the end that's not how you solve the lab. Why would they have that line commented out? To drive me insane ?
It's possible it's not the intended path
Not sure, haven't done that module, but in reality commented code can hang around.
congrats
thx π
Thanks managed to acess the server
@ocean night look at offical aws website and check webstie url
Ah, I see.. hm
time to sue amazon ? HAHAHAH
Hah, I don't think so
it's a fairly generic design Β―_(γ)_/Β―
It's not like the htb logo is heavily artistic imho
Just a cube that's outlined green and filled black
yeh almost similer to hack the box
GameCube frfr
Yep
I was scared one of those gifs are the horny ones
You can never tell
woot! Just AEN left. Going to start it blind tomorrow.

Anyone knows what is the CVE needed for Kernel exploits Linux privesc module(https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/51/section/467)?
I tried all of the 2021 that exploit suggester suggests, and none of them work.
Also, when I tried a standart privesc with common vulnerabilites don't work and don't escalate the privilege to root, never seen that happen before
Does anyone know why I am getting prompted for a password when running the following command in Kerberoasting - from Linux section
was that not allowed? My bad, if so
Better to keep questions generic, and avoid posting specific details.
Sounds good, can I post the error message?
Hard to tell if I don't know what it is π
oh yeah, good point lol. Can i DM you?
Yeah I guess
Which did exploit suggester suggest? (DM).. can at least say if the intended is in the list or not
Does anyone know why I am getting this error Error in bindRequest -> invalidCredentials: 8009030C: LdapErr: DSID-0C090690, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 775, v4563 when trying to run Impacket for the linux kerberoasting lab? I am unable to pull TGS tickets
Because you need a valid domain account to roast with
I believe the examples show a Password: prompt
ohhh okay, thank you!

Could I request a nudge on attaining RCE?
Any help on this one mate ?
ποΈ
why
Spoilers
Still a spoiler
who would know more about my question i am genuinely confused
If you want to ask for advice or assistance, please do it without posting such specifics as your screenshot did
yeah gie me one question
how would i rephrase it?
second
the flag i got is incorrect i can figure out what it's supposed to be from context clues but it's still the wrong answer
After performing the ESC1 attack, connect to PKI (172.16.18.15) as 'htb-student:HTB_@cademy_stdnt!' and look at the logs. On what date was the very first certificate requested and issued? this one
something happened within sqlmap and i am trying to figure out why before i move on to the next exercise
Just the message without the image would've done I reckon. If anyone is able to give you a nudge they will
Table: flag5
[1 entry]
+----+-------------------------------------+
| id | content |
+----+-------------------------------------+
| 1 | HTB{***_****_****_***_\x02A0r7h_17} |
+----+-------------------------------------+
the asterisks are censored because they contain the flag but the end of the flag is incorrect and it's what sql map outputted... why did it do this?
i don't understand why it gave back \x02a
Tfw I'm trying all other systems for the smb except the DC 
\x means binary and 02 in binary is 42 in ascii and that is an asterisk but it's supposed to be a w if you're reading the leeted flag... what causes sqlmap to do this?
I mean I take it you tried the whole thing itself as the answer
And not trying to reverse engineer the flag
Shouldn't have to interpret the flag further though tbh
Wanna DM me the command you're using?
okay
That wasn't a DM π
i'm so sorry i'm having a long day π«
@fading matrix are you here
yes sir I am
can you tell me what you did already
did as the modules
oh thats correct, think about formatting it differently
tell me when you get it right
Can I curse @runic depot
u wanna say a bad word
Yes sir.
about this @wanton idol
just trolling XD
I wrote it right but the format is pain in my ass
but idk i think u can since its not towards anyone
This happened to me so many times, it's like not I'm putting wrong answers, it's like wrong format with right answers, Motherf**k*r
Anyway I'm learning well, THANKS for all the help from the members
no problem
that answer should really be changed, why is the HTB answer different than how the answer on the vm has it
is anyone else having trouble with targets spawning?
Alright I think they are UP ^
will Documentation & Reporting be on the cpts/
i c ok danke
lsass.dmp takes like 2 billion years to dump at this point
Wut?
