I assume you've switched things around like VPN config, region, etc?
Are you using EU or US VPN?
EU
I know it prolly sounds dumb and very well could be, but have you tried US just to check that box?
Which section are you working on?
sincerly not because I though it will be worse since im in europe but I will give it a shot and let you know... I tried tcp udp in all UE servers
Kerberos Delegation & Enumeration
but the entry point is always the same IP
I figured the same, but I have used EU a couple of times even though I am in the US and it worked.
That sucks, sorry. You could always open a ticket and explain what you are experiencing on your end.
Hello, I'm currently doing the "Hunting for Stuxbot" section in the "Introduction to Threat Hunting & Hunting With Elastic". I'm a bit confused but a Kibana query. The query used there seems contradictory to me. Can anyone explain that to me please?
dns.question.name:* is included then excluded from the same query
I read this ROQ example multiple times and I still can't use this on my own, does anyone know a resource that teaches ROQ separately or the only content about it is this?
I finished the module but I think learning ROQ early-on would be really good
Hi all. I just entered the correct answer for a section Skills Assessment and did not receive the "Mark Complete and Next" option. Does anyone know how to solve this?
hi anyone can help me in upload file modules? I have a problem in client-side validation module
hi can some one help me on the saml wraping attack ? i cant undestanding how to execute the attack, i already try saml rider but no success
I'm working on that exact same module right now and I'm willing to be we're both having the same problem. Can't find the correct function to disable or upload after adding the .php extension?
I could, thanks
hey idk if anyone has had an issue with the windows attacks and defense module on academy. I think I'm losing my mind because the Kali box IP is not working I've lost my moind for the last hour
whats the issue??
The IP for Linux in section 2 isn’t replying. I’m able to run the Kerberoast fine on the Win001 machine but I can’t get to Kali to run Hashcat
ss?
You mean ssh? Yea I’m trying to connect and it times out sorry I’m not in front of the computer anymore I can try again tomorrow
mmmm id have to look at the module, id have to look at it tmr what question is it?
Has anyone successfully solved the “Follow The Money” OSINT challenge? I’m currently stuck on question, 4 and can’t figure out why my solution isn’t working. Tried many permutations of the found name and partial email to no avail. Thanks in advance.
@dusk holly Please take care not to post content from modules above tier 0
okay, I was just making sure reader would understand.
Keep in mind anyone who has done the module will not really need the extra context
Kerberos Attacks: Unconstrained Delegation - Computers, I should force DC01 into authenticate to my SQL01 service, but I am not getting TGT for DC01 rather for SQL01 and darek.walker
yeah right
is this good enough
You may want to restart the target or try another server if you think you've done it right
i got a few more results than just 1
or double check your commnads etc
yeah i got for more than one too, but i could not really get TGT for DC01
i am just copying from content so it should be good, i will try to restart it
it's possible it only happens once, so you may need to restart
i forget which module but i've seen an exploit just work one time then that was it til you rebooted
yeah right just making sure, we have to start to listen on Rubeus first then exploit the Printer bug right?
yeah
thanks
I got TGT for DC01 and it is enough to read the C disk inside Domain controller right?
but i am getting access denied error
did you renew it
when you type klist do you see the dc01$ ticket in memory
you need to follow all the steps, and sometimes it isn't exactly 1:1
you can't just stop at getting the dc01$ ticket, you have to do the rest
yeah, I am will try, thank you for helping mate
Hi there! I'm kind of stuck with Shells & Payloads: PHP Web Shells.
When I have uploaded the .php file from WhiteWinterWolf's Web Shell to the Vendor, and I have changed the Content-Type to image/gif, forwarded twice, and then I access IP/images/vendor/phpfilename; instead of showing the webshell, it shows the whitewinterwolf webshell github repo???
Idk if its a bug or just something that I have done wrong.
fundamental linux
What is the name of the config file that has been created after 2020-03-03 and is smaller than 28k but larger than 25k?
I tried everything, and I can't find the answer.
can someone help me
ohh damn i supposed to perform DCSync attack with it, and access with administrator TGT, wasted a lot of time on this.
Hi everyone, is this command dnsenum --dnsserver 10.129.61.71 --enum -p 0 -s 0 -o subdomains.txt -f /home/juser/Desktop/subdomains-top1million-5000.txt inlanefreight.htb correct?
Yes,it's right
i got another problem, seems like the name server generated for the DNS section is down, i tried to rigenerated the target and performed the ping command, but it doesn't work
You can dm me,and send me a screenshot
check your dm
Hello i'm strugling with Server-side Attacks > Exploiting SSRF module.

can someone give me some help pls 🙂
Hi! any hint for "injections attacks skill assessment" ? i could inject on description path a html, but when i tried aonther path internal not reflected i tried with another ports, but still in the same path stuck
Hello. I'm working through the Getting Started module. I'm on part 7 learning about nmap. When I spin up the target machine and connect to the VPN this is what I get when calling nmap. I tried ping too, but as indicated by the message those aren't getting through.
We can't, you are on your own
Any attempt to ask for help within an exam can lead to the termination of the exam attempt
ohh fairs
tried with '-Pn'
Yes, I followed the on screen instructions. Still didn't work.
Anyone feeling like playing THE FINALS?
And help me learn from you.
I mean the modules
if you try to dns it's reachable? maybe download another ovpn file
?
I've tried the one on the page (academy-regular) us 2 and and us 3, they all do the same thing. I don't know what DNS I would try. The text next to the target ip address can't be the dns as it doesn't change when I regenerate hosts. I've done this a few times and it's all the same.
If you are using the provided workstation, then you are already connected to the VPN
What is the Nmap command and IP you are trying to run
Ok... I DIDN'T try pwnbox. I've been in a parrot vm. That's worth a shot
Make sure to disconnect the VPN connection in your Parrot VM to not introduce any conflicts with two VPN connections running at the same time
I've shut my vm down because I gotta go do stuff I get paid for 😂. But I just tried quick on a pwnbox running on the lesson page and it did work. So whatever the problem is it's with my VM setup
The target's firewall is blocking the ping probes. Use -Pn to stop sending them and skip host discovery altogether.
Sometimes company laptops can have additional settings in the firewall that will prevent packets/data flowing through, which can be the ones from nmap
😆
Yea, I'll check firewall stuff later. What I didn't do, is try to connect to the VPN over TCP. I just kept using UDP files. That might change things.
If anyone can help with hint i’m stuck a couple days…
hello guys need some guidence, can some one give me i hint in how to resolve the saml wrapping attack module?
cwee path ?
You should be able to keyword search that one.
Hey i've been trying to do the Wordpress module, the very first question seemed easy, so i did a bunch of stuff and couldn't get it so after a couple of days gave up and looked the answer online, tried doing it by myself, didn't work i even did a feroxbuster but the flag.txt just isnt there
You can DM what you are using.
can someone help me for TNS in the footprinting we have to setup ODAT but I think that the commands are obselete
i want a password of a insta acc by hacking
yerp
The first one
Did that before feroxbuster but all files are empty or contain empty files
hello,
i'm doing the web service brute force module https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/57/section/491
we are supposed to brutforce ftp user but no ftp is exposed ...
Did you scan all ports?
yes i solve the question but i thought it was a mistake
does anybody know why i can't acces a webpage but the ip address and domain are added in etc/hosts?
Are you connected to the vpn if it’s a 10.x.x.x ip?
i'm connected to pawnbox and pings are okay
echo "10.129.128.223 unika.htb" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
Is this for a module?
no port required it's from starting point lab responder
I see. Please read #welcome and #rules it will explain how to get verified and you’ll get access to #starting-point
Please ask there
pay close attention on the responses to determine the injection and from there you can code a script to exfiltrate the flag
English only please @chrome shale
@storm elk I was making cobblestone machine , and i need some tips , i have the web shell y upload via sqli , but i can get the reverse shell , can you give me some tips please.
No problem 😄
❤️ 💪
(I haven’t done cobblestone I think, people in there will be able to help you more)
i will try again... tks
hey all, anyone recently work on the Pentest in a Nutshell module? The target box they give you does not have the vulnerabilities they indicate in the walkthrough. Just wondering if this is to be expected
Attacking Web Applications With Ffuf
Noticed earlier after doing some of the ffuf modules that there's an RSS summary file on my desktop, is this normal / anyone know where it came from? Please @ with replies
I am trying to run this command "sysmon.exe -c sysmonconfig-export.xml" in the Windows adminsitrator command prompt for this module section (https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/216/section/2301) and I get this popup:
I am confused.
I just restarted the terminal , made all of my changes to my config file and ran the command again . I have no idea what was causing the previous issue
Hey guys Im working on login brute forcing and Im in the custome word list section, I've done everything perfect, updated cupp, downloaded ruby, got the username anarchy directory and everything else that you need to do that the section talks about but when I run the hydra command to brute force the log in after 2 hours of running the attack I get multple child wit pid terminating error, anyone have any pointers on what I can do? thank you!
this the second time this happened, I thought terminating and reseting my instance would help the first time but it didnt
I see that when it's the wrong architecture, i.e. trying to run a 64 bit program on a 32 bit OS.. or trying to run an ARM program on x86_64
Yeah I made sure to keep my instance alive and then the second time around I kept an eye on my targets life span thinking that was the issue but it was still alive when I got the error
I tried the module again after a few days
I used the same commands but ||downloaded printerbug.py using wget instead of using the one preinstalled on the machine||
||either it was fixed from using a fresh machine, or by downloading the one linked in the reading||
hopefully this helps someone in the event they have the same issue
Attacking Thick Client Applications This is such a drag the app and VM is slow af
Make sure you're on the TCP VPN. Also could try changing servers or regions if it's unbearable.
Restart-Oracle Services.exe doesn't seem to start after execution when checking with ProcMon64 anyone encountering this issue while doing Attacking Thick Client Applications??? Also, x64dbg is sluggish
tried terminating instances and respawning but same performance
target as well
I'm completing the attacking common applications module and I must say people who write PoCs are some of the shittiest programmers I've ever seen
I don't think I could voluntarily write code this janky 😂
please help - LLM Output Attacks module in the skill assement, i got access to admin bot , but i dont know what to do from here with the admin bot, i tried again sqli but its not working

Hi all, i am currently on NoSQL Injection: https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/171/section/1690 (Server-Side Javascript Injection - Automating the process).
I tried to build my own script instead of following the module. I have almost gotten the flag. I compared the flag to my friend's and 1 char of mine is incorrect. Could someone be kind to DM me to review my code to see what went wrong?
you can dm me

Has anyone solved the footprinting lab hard
As I am trying to fetch a message from openssl but it now fetching
Module: Using CrackMapExec
Section: Skills Assessment
Question 1: What's the password of the account you found?
I started the challenge from an unauthenticated standpoint, I tried SMB Null authentication but it didn't work, I tried guest account, disabled, I thought of enumerating usernames through jsmith.txt wordlist, but this will take a lot of time.
But just to not waste anytime, I saw the hint, it says Review "Exploiting NULL/Anonymous Session", what can you use to enumerate users?.
Which doesn't make sense, as Null auth is disabled on all of the 3 devices, SQL01, DEV01, & DC01
Any help would be appreciated, I don't know if I'm missing something or the environment is bugged.
Tried resetting the target, didn't work.
this is after you connect to the target
you need to select the appropriate message id
1 fetch <ID> <specifics>
I already did ....idk why it was working inside htb parrot os
But not in my attacker machine
¯_(ツ)_/¯
it worked on my machine when i did it a while ago
also make sure you turn off the pwnbox when you use your own vm
I have connected to the target though
so the interface doesn't exist on the target?
xfreerdp /v:10.129.43.4 /u:htb-student /p:HTB_@cademy_stdnt!
sudo -E wireshark
are the commands I ran on wireshark
sudo wireshark doesn't work and running wireshark from the /usr/bin/wireshark from the gui file explorer doesn't work either
so are you running wireshark IN the target
nope
I had used --rid-brute to enumerate users, and it worked. Did you try that?
tried it, not working.
null auth is not enabled so it makes sense that it won't work.
the module doesn't mention anything like that will look into it, trying to connect to ens224 from freerdp
have to authenticate mrb3n
dm me please
Is starting point a module ? It is the next to the last case.
ah I misread it as wireshark //V (ie wireshark with the flag //V) not wireshark in the target, I'm running wireshark in the pwnbox that's running freerdp,
no, the starting point machines are their own thing #starting-point ; read and follow #welcome instructions to gain access to it
you should be running wireshark on the target then 😉
just tried it myself and it's working fine for me
i did
Ok
Hi, I have a question - where I can find the IP of target machine? I do Network Foundations and the IP from the description is not visible for me to scan
I think it is issue with the platform as I could do part of the tasks yesterday, and same commands worked yesterday
Within the questions there is a button with the text Click here to spawn the target system! once you click it after a few seconds it will populate it with the IP address of the target
Some questions may not have target(s)
Thank you, it works for me after spawning the target system. Last thing - can I submit answers with enter or only by mouse click?
try adding to hosts file?
wtf, my message has been fucked up ahahah

Blue CTFs have their own page on the platform called Sherlocks
thanks , the remaining challanges all are red?
The challenges page is for specific categories like OSINT, pwn, reverse, crypto, etc.
The machines page is all red
also i used to play the CTFs in SIEM . how can i find those ? in THM i would just search splunk and they would show up
I'm an all red guy, so I don't know much about blue stuff on the platform lol.
Someone else will answer tho if they know.
Yes I did it. I tested and works fine in Pwnbox but not on my VM so I dunno what's the issue
Sherlocks is what you want
Thanks for the attention
Hello everyone. I have a problem with the submission of the skill assessment model in Applications of AI in InfoSec. The model I created on my machine works on the provided dataset and performs well, however when I upload it to the verification server, I get 0.0%, which is the same when I upload an invalid model. I am not sure how to proceed or 'debug' this situation. Can someone help me?
Did you run it with -debug at all?
Anyone done AI Red teamer path? How was it?
You get this sorted out?
Yes, but still stuck on the same question XD
I know the password that I have to use (this is because I bruteforced it into the answer to save myself time from spraying a wrong password over 2355 users
)
But, I cannot seem to get the correct username.
Tried the password on SQL01 smb NTLM auth & smb local auth, nothing.
Tried the password on DC01 smb kerberos & ldap NTLM auth, still nothing.
Now I'm trying it on DC01 smb local auth.
I don't know if It's supposed to work on SQL01 or am I supposed to suffer like this LOL
You can DM what you are trying and I am going to have to delete your screenshot.
guys i need some help .i have the pcap and have found the malware name but it asks for the virustotal hash . i can not find it in VT
did anyone solve https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/113/section/2139?
I did.
But I had no Idea what I was doing I just replicated each step from the section 
You can ask your question, if I know the answer I'll help, if I don't, I'm sure someone else will
Because it is incorrect? I'd look over the SSL certs.
Oh this was my nightmare on this whole path
did that, still didn't get it. I can extract and get the restart-service.exe, but can't go past that. Literally followed the steps.
yup that's what I tried, having only the exit breakpoint and looking for the executable stored in the region, as dictated by them
I skipped
#!/bin/bash
var="8dm7KsjU28B7v621Jls"
value="ERmFRMVZ0U2paTlJYTkxDZz09Cg"
for i in {1..40}
do
var=$(echo "$var" | base64) # Encode with adding newline
if [[ "$var" == "$value" && $(echo "$var" | wc -c) -gt 113450 ]]; then

Hi, I'm having an issue with wpscan in the "Linux Information Gathering" section of the module Pentest in a Nutshell.
wpscan command is not returning the same 'theme' and 'Plugin' information as it has in the walkthrough, the rest of the output is fine tho. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me
I am in the intro to network traffic analysis and I can't get wireshark to run a capture on any of the interfaces. This is in the Familiarity with Wireshark section. I am not connecting to a target host. The lab just wants me to capture traffic on any of the interfaces. The error says I don't have permission to capture traffic on XYZ interface.
Run wireshark as sudo
I tried that and it didn't work.
Pm
I would say it's probably because you are not using an API key
Create an account at wpscan website and get a free API key and use it
Tried that to no avail both on my own vm or the pwnbox. But in the walkthrough's example the plugin and theme shows up fine
What command are you running?
😈
wpscan -e p --url https://1.2.3.4 --disable-tls-checks --no-banner --plugins-detection passive -t 100
same as the one given in the guide
Try to just run wpscan --url <url> --enumerate --api-key <api key>
I'm writing it from memory lol so adjust that based on the actual flags
Thanks for that but same output, no improvement
Hmm, this is weird.
Maybe try to update the tool?
I beleive it is wpscan --update or smth
I'm using the latest docker image
I'm not familiar with that module tbh, but did they show how to manually enumerate plugins / themes with curl or not?
If not, try to run wpscan on different pages
It is weird, but the solution gets around this by grep ing the html code, So I'll just do it that way for now
I'm just confused as to why the tool doesn't do the same thing for me
but thanks for your help
I am begginear
You posted this same stuff earlier and were provided with a link for information that is related to beginners. This channel is for assistance with HTB Academy modules and your posts are not related to any of the modules. Please refrain from posting that to this channel. You should go to #welcome to verify your account and gain access to other channels that are more for asking questions related to your doubts. I would also recommend reading over the #rules
The exercise doesn't have to be the same as the lesson.
A lot of the times I learn from a section on a specific scenario then the exercise will be a completely different one, but can be solved with the commands demonstrated
Bro I am begginear but I know many things and readed all text in htb
If you're facing issues with a specific question then better to include that sp that we know how to help better
Yeah I faced this too as well, also no haven't dumped the bin to disk, my problem is that I don't see the bin at all
I have doubt In http and https website.i saw in many toturial they teach us about to compromise http but this is big 2025 we should know about how to gain access a https website it's isn't possible to get access https website or what? please clear this
Yeah, but the weird part is I can't solve it with the commands demonstrated. The lesson showed me how to use the wpscan tool. and the exercise has the question "What is the name of the theme used by WordPress on this target?"
So when I use the tool as demonstrated by the lesson on the same target and it doesn't work, that can get a little frustrating.
http[s] are just the protocols being used, the things you learn to "hack" into a website would almost always work the same regardless
What we look for is some kind of functionality to abuse in a web app, which is unrelated to it running on either of them
ikr 😂😂😂
ive extracted the exe, which seems to print the banner correctly but locally it just exits idk y
yeah resetting the machine makes it work fine
okay finally oooof
I got it
thanks mate
hi I am on question 3 of ACL Enumeration section of AD Enumeration and Attacks module. I'm trying to get information about the specific AD subgroup and the specific user's rights over that group but my commands aren't working. I think that if I post the terminal output I will spoil. Anyone available for DM?
Can someone help me out here?
I want to show the commands I have tried but I'm scared its gonna spoil
I took a shortcut way, updated the bat file, so now the oracle.txt is created and no ps/exe, then I copied it to my machine. Wrote ps script to decode that and saved the exe.
Since I took a break and later started half way, I was assuming the first exe to be the one and running x64dbg on it because I named them the same xD.
Are you planning on updating Burp in the browser vms? Right now the burp version is so old that burp intruder doesnt work on it.
You could probably add this as /feedback so there is awareness on HTB end.
Sorry im a discord noob, dunno how to do that. Cant find any feedback channel
Type that here, click on the provided command and then provide your feedback. It should be sent to the HTB Academy team.
If you need further assistance with it, you can DM.
i am getting issue in rdp connection in malware analysis lab. Anyone having same issue??
why machine have not sqlplus ?
|| Enumerate the target Oracle database and submit the password hash of the user DBSNMP as the answer.||
please update path modules
@whole merlin I saw your post on the Erratum channel, I assume you managed to get it to work right?
@sacred rock Yes
You'll have to install it
sometimes i cant ssh into the machine does anyone know why
Way too broad of a question. There are a million reasons why you may not be able to ssh in. Some examples, you're not online, you're not on the VPN, you're using the wrong logon info, ssh isn't running on the server, firewall rules, etc. etc.
Yea sorry. Connected to the VPN and the target shows SSH open, but when I try to connect it just hangs with no response. I respawned the machine a few times, same issue. I dont even have the chance to put the login info its just blank space
Whats the command you're typing out on linux and which module
connect to sql first
before u can perform actions
doing last question of section I thought I needed help with today
I thought I needed help with question 3 but I didn't
figured it out. just had to take a break and come back to it
now on 5th and last question. we'll see if I finish the section by the time my friend is ready to pick me up
I think I'm doing increasingly better with this stuff
How long does it normally take to get full output from the right AD command for last question of sectiom
Is it like a 10 minute thing?
hi I am on the last question of this section. how long should I give this command to run?
before it gives me the output
this is for last question of ACL Enumeration section of AD Enumeration and Attacks module
hi so even when I try either of the two commands that should get me the output it never shows up
whether I run the command over the user or the group or whichever version of the command I use to specify
like it loads forever but I never get any output
wait I think I know what I am doing wrong
nope not getting it I will try again tomorrow
Anyone doing attacking thick client applications?
If you need help you're better off just asking your question

hi guys im at the skills assesment of buffer overflow in Linux but i have 2 problems
when i create the string to send :
- the "\x90" in the memory become \xc2 and \x90
- the shellcode with all the bad chars deleted is still not correct in memory
help
i found the problem: for someone that have my same problem
you have to use python and not python3
because python3 with only print print not everytime correcty the byte
you have to use python or python3 with b'' and sys.stdout.buffer.write

Footprinting module - SNMP section
Hi everyone, the third question is "Enumerate the custom script that is running on the system and submit its output as the answer". Have i to answer with the name of the script or with its output as the question asks?
Just the output
so have i to execute that script?
maybe ... 
do some footprinting and find out
How can i do that if i have not the source code?
Do the footprinting... and find out

i get the impression you say that, a lot...
I do not... but if you're clearly not trying before asking, then I'll make you try 
Try what you've learned in the SNMP section and you'll figure it out.
i just didn't understand the question
Well you don't have to understand the question, you just have to try what you've learned and maybe the answer will be obvious after
It is related to the previous answer, just check a little further down the flag obtained.
I'm in the next question, i stuck
sure man
yeah can you help me with another qn?

Skills Assessment - Web Fuzzing
what's the answer template please? usually there's an example how to answer
it says the subdomain name only.. so like www.hackthebox.com would be www
to be more specific they mentioned to write all the subdomains ,so what if there are more than one sub or vhost? i've found 3
If you can perform what you are trying, can't you just perform this for the specific user you need?
i've found 3 but I don't know how to put them in the answer box
It's my understanding that you can only go through the NTDS file after you have dumped it. I'm not seeing the user when I dump it
Try each one with a space between each, like you would write them out normally.
You can DM.
I got the exact opposite of you

Hello, in the Injection Attacks module that is part of CWEE, the PDF attacks use SSRF to ultimately find the flag. There is a point where we are supposed to use the PDF vuln to "enumerate the server" so that we can figure out an internal API we can use to exfiltrate data. Can someone explain the server enumeration? how is that supposed to happen via the PDF vuln? the solutions in the module dont provide context, they just say students should enumerate the server but dont say how
the context is gonna be in the reading

I already used the bash script to generate the wordlist for fuzzing with Intruder. I have several extensions that 'should' work. I got 'File successfully uploaded' in the responses. When fuzzing I injected the PHP Hello World script. Browsing to the files I uploaded I don't see the PHP code render at all though.
It also looks like when attempting to browse to the uploaded files, my \ are changing to // which is confusing.
And in one case, I get the message "Forbidden You dont have permission to access this resource"

NVM: Figured it out , I missed the important POST 😅
Remember, not all extensions will work with all web server configurations, so we may need to try several extensions to get one that successfully executes PHP code.
Ohhhh, the line "for ext in '.php' '.phps';" only does limited extensions. I'll try adding more and giving that another go in the morning.
yes, you need to play around more a bit.
Ok, thank you!

@stark egret here
forgot to change ubuntu to web but anyways, i want to transfer the lssas.dmp file from the windows internal host to attacker host
any ideas?
ubuntu is a webshell you said_
yeah
can you host a server on it? and then send a request from windows to pivot
or vice versa
describe the webshell?
lssas.dmp size?
i tried pinging the pivot and found that i can reach it, but idk what to do
i thought of a smb server to host it, but failed miserably
its a pw0ny web shell
for the size my VM crashed cuz i did something stupid with proxychains sooo its gone 💔 🥀
this seems like the right idea, try several ways of having a server host the lssas.dmp on windows and then curl it from pw0ny
if lssas.dmp is not too big u can b64 encode it
gotcha will try in a bit, thanks so much 🙏

Looks like you have a file that isn't supposed to be in the nmap scripts folder
I have search it on the folder but there isn't
i don't know how to solve
use find maybe to find that one deb file
no result
try from the / directory
seems like it is in my home directory, but why nmap sees that file?
probably because of the *, it's checking for file names in the current directory
can i delete this file?
if you did I'm pretty sure it'd still error but try it
but why nmap see this file if it searches script frm the scripts directory?
because of the *
bash is evaluating it before nmap does
yes but i thought the * starts from the scripts directory, not from the root
no it's for cwd

I'm going through the "Cracking Passwords with Hashcat" module and there is an optional exercise involving an NTDS dump and a responder log. I was able to get a few passwords for the NT hashes but I have no heckin' clue what this thing is asking me for and I don't know anything about NTLM yet as I haven't done any AD modules like that yet. Did I miss something in the hashcat module or is this something I should come back to after learning more about NTLM2? It's at the bottom of https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/20/section/113
Recently, however, you read about another method to obtain something usable when you have an NTLMv2 password hash.
🤷
After a bunch of searches and confused questions aimed at LLMs, I think I understand now what is going on and how the pieces fit together for that puzzle.

Then that is not the right SID. Always best to say which module, section, and question you're on.

Greetings all, I just finished File Upload Attacks > Whitelist Filters. After fuzzing extensions, to make sure the PHP code actually renders on page, I manually browsed to every single file I uploaded with the appropriate response length 😬
That seems very inefficient. Is there a way to dump those URLs to a file and check if the code renders on the page? I don’t think cURL would do the trick?
So in this case we already knew PHP was being used on the site. But we had to go through and validate which extension allowed to PHP Hello World code to actually run.
yo guys
one problem.. many questions
im on SQLmap essentials
on the 6th section 'Attack Tuning'
well
my question is answered while im typing so
thanks for anyone who was a part of it
Right. I used Burp Intruder to fuzz. Now that I think about it, I should have just went to the Render tab in the responses huh…🤣
Actually, that doesn't show the PHP code rendered either. It just says, "File successfully uploaded". I have to actually browse to the page to see the PHP Hello World on the page.
Right. But this doesn't this doesn't show if the code actually runs does it?
Ok, thank you for the responses!
then it's the wrong flag. maybe manually type make sure no whitespaces if you think you have it.
Is there any way to make Nmap run a service scan faster?
the flag should be ch..s!
--min-rate should do it I usually run it at 2000 it basically sends 2000 probe packets per second
Is there a ranking somewhere à la duolingo for the weakly streaks ? Or is it just a personal metric ?

just curious guys if any of u wana help me with AD module?
i am trying to take the points so i can purchase another path
Always best to just ask your question. Make sure to include the module, section, and question you're on. Relevant details like what you've tried helps too. Just don't spoil any content above tier 0.
in other words i just want the points if that's possible? , i do not know AD tho and this is pivoting
it would require a lot of work i dnt understand , i just need the points so i can purchase the path i wanted but yea
No one's going to just give you the answer.
Like I said, best to say which module, section, and question you're on. You haven't said that so no one can help.
There are a number of modules that use AD.
just a few questions , like why not? i am going to buy cubes later on but i wana collect the left over points
u dont want a hackthebox customer? i am going to spend later but i jsut need to take the left over points
i am like 80% done but the remaining one requires heavy pivoting , i dnt know honestly
are you planning on taking CPTS or any exam?
You're asking for help and refusing to say what you want help on. For the 3rd time, when asking for help make sure to include the module, section, and question you're on. No one can help you if they don't know what you're working on.
i have a few but lets start with this
https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/158/section/1434
the last question
i am planning to buy cubes , no exam
gona spend it on the bug hunter path
but i figure i got 1 AD module which has cubes to take
however these questions aint easy lol , like i dnt know AD tho honestly.
Do your best then they can not out-right give you the answers, but they can help.
well that violated TOS
the question your stuck on has nothing to do with ad
i solved other questions , i figure i dnt need the cubes anymore
i only left with 4 cubes remaining , wont make a big diff , so i moving on to buy cubes to unlock my desired path
i mean it's part of the CPTS path if you're planning on doing that one
¯_(ツ)_/¯
but whatever boats your float
u need to open tunnel or smtg to access it , the repo i downloaded produce error on the python code
i can't deal with erros now tho but oh well 4 cubes only , no big diff i got 80% of them already
i am doing the bug hunter path
the reading explicitly tells you how to do it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
yea why still error in the repo i downloaded , no time for it atm , too hassle , it should be simple but gives me an error on the code while i try to run the server
that's just 1 simple question anyways
the rest of it requires pivoting and getting the flag on the compromised machine
i have no idea honestly but yea
i mean you can solve it using any other pivoting technique if you don't wanna use rpivot
you're not forced to use the tool in the section
chisel, ligolo, even just the remote/reverse pf technique from earlier in the module
even sshuttle
the fact you're saying "i don't know pivoting" means you didn't take notes going through the module and were just hoping to skate by on 3rd party guides that break ToS so that you didn't have to put in the legwork to actually learn WHY what you're doing may not be working
honestly man u should know by now i dnt have knowledge in AD or pivot
is just a left over module i got i dk when i got this but i figure i ma take the cubes so i dnt need to spend so much
i am working on bug hunter path now , but 4 cubes not much big diff , i asssume the bug hutner path gives cubes like 10-20 for each completed room or smtg
i can always come back to learn fully , but now i am fighting against the time
is better to work smart sometimes why waste time when i can use my brain
but 4 cubes , oh well
it was just 1 module of AD i dint buy the entire thing , i would study if i wana buy the entire thing lol
i think i got it back then was cause i wanted to see academy's pivotting when i was looking into the OSCP
so i only got like 1-2 AD related moduels from academy i dint get the entire CPST path course
respectully lol that wasn't what i was saying at all
why? 😭 2 days im here...
Why can't I find the file on Arturo's desktop RDP IPv4?
the module is Windows Laterlal Movements: Skills Assessment: Q2
For a start it looks like you have a space between the password and the closing quote mark
Also maybe you need to specify the AD domain?

Could you please confirm if the calculate_shipment_time function is the correct way to go? It's the only function that accepts user input.
I can't get this function to generate any kind of indication of a possible SQLi. Is that the correct path?

Hi everyone, I'm stuck at Pass the Ticket from Windows, i'm trying to do the "Optional Exercise" and doing PtT using PowerShell Remoting only with Rubeus.exe but I always fall into "KRB-ERROR (24) : KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED" I put the key decoded in hex format. What I am doing wrong? Thanks
try mimikatz if you are getting with mimikatz
With mimikatz all good, i was trying all the process with rubeus only as the optional exercise tells
which command you are executing
- Rubeus.exe dump /nowrap
- Convert base64 key in HEX format
- Rubeus.exe createnetonly /program:"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" /show
- Rubeus.exe asktgt /user:john /domain:INLANEFREIGHT.HTB /aes256:<hex> /ptt
Here I have the issue "KRB-ERROR (24) : KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED"
The HEX converted key it's the same I can dump from Mimikatz using "mimikatz.exe sekurlsa::tickets /export" Session Key aes256_hmac
The point 4. was runned in the new cmd.exe session

Hello, im trying to figure out the SQLi fundamentals skill assessment. I dont quite understand why if i have the FILE privileges and SECURE_FILE_PRIVILEGE with no restrictions, yet i cant just write the webshell in /var/www/html
Hello guys, I'm a complete beginner hacking, I know how to code with Java, Php, JavaScript , SQL... What should I start learning and how?
I would double check the path where you can potentially write to.
And why I can't acces the general chat?
@short hare I have the same problem. Did you find the correct format? Anyone on this?
Please do not send me friend requests.
okk got it
As I said, stop sending me friend requests.
Venture over to #welcome and follow the steps to verify your account, as this will provide you access to more channels that might be more related to what you are looking for, i.e., #careers-and-certs and #general and it is also worth reading through the #rules of any server you join.
👍
ok
Because you have writing perms, then you will write the web shell, can then you can access that...main thing is to putting the web shell on the server, which we are doing through sql in this case
There is another path where you can write
They want you search that in which folder you have privs for writing

hello, i am doing Command Injections module and i am stuck on Advanced Command Obfuscation can anyone help please?
Currently working through: File Upload Attacks > Type Filters > "Exercise: Try to run the above scan to find what Content-Types are allowed."
https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/136/section/1290
I figured this would be super simple. I created the wordlist for only image types using the commands in the section. Fired off Intruder with Content-Type as the position. All the responses were either 226 or 227 length and had the message "Only images are allowed". Changing the filename to shell.php (as shown in the section screenshot) results in "Extension not allowed". Not a huge deal but I figured I would get the same results shown in the section.

I'm pretty stuck again:
File Upload Attacks > Type Filters > "The above server employs Client-Side, Blacklist, Whitelist, Content-Type, and MIME-Type filters to ensure the uploaded file is an image. Try to combine all of the attacks you learned so far to bypass these filters and upload a PHP file and read the flag at "/flag.txt""
https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/136/section/1290
I'm just starting by fuzzing a file extension that isn't blocked. All the extensions I've tried are blocked. Next I tried adding the Magic Byte and fuzzed with that as well - all extensions still blocked.
I can assure you that there's a file type allowed.
Oh, I'm sure there is! I just haven't been able to find it.
Been through it twice now
Start simple, find something that actually uploads. Like a real picture. From there use Burp to iterate through the extensions til you find one that works.
That's the problem. I got an actual picture to upload. EZ. After that I go to the extension script we've used up to this point. I've tried so many different iterations of the fuzzing script and not once am I getting an upload through. I guess I could add every single extension from PayloadsAllTheThings extensions.lst but that would be an enormous number of requests.
I used the list they taught in the module
That's the first list I tried. I'll run through it again though.
make sure to use the techniques in the file extension section too
So that list only has two extensions total when unedited - .php and .phps
Try what's provided in the Whitelist Filters section
Is that different that what you meant by the list in the module?
https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/18/section/2098
Hello Anyone please I have been stuck all day !!!
i believe it's the same list but with some additional techniques
just take it 1 step at a time. the first goal is finding a file extension that uploads.
then move on to the next filter, etc
That's the step I've been stuck on for a few days now. I just can't get an extension to upload. I've tried 3 variations on that fuzzing script to no avail.
k so you have your actual picture file type that uploads. did you go through the whitelist filter techniques?
That's the section we start using the bash script for testing file extensions. Tried that but not the OG script with only the two extensions. I'll try that again I guess. I have to redeploy my victim box though. That's how long I've been working on it today 🤣
no, that script is only one part of that section. there are other techniques.
the script is for character injection
Looking at it again
Ok, I just tried what I think you were leading me to but all 22 extensions failed 🤣
Tried using the PayloadsAllTheThings extension list as well as the SecLists one.
Use the very first technique shown in that section
Hello Everyone !
I need help with this one please, I know the answer because I know stuff from pentest experience. However I want to know how am I supposed to do this without guessing !!!
Extract and scrutinize the memory content of the suspicious PowerShell process which corresponds to PID 6744. Determine which tool from the PowerSploit repository (accessible at https://github.com/PowerShellMafia/PowerSploit) has been utilized within the process, and enter its name as your answer.
In the Blacklist or Whitelist filters section? And of course my attackbox died again. Starting from scratch 🤣
Tried the first thing in Blacklist filters - no luck. All it has us to is alter the name of the file and insert our shell code. Immediately after that we go to trying the wordlists. First for extension fuzzing, then character injection.
In the AEN module I have the NTLMv2 password hash for the mpalledorous user, however I've tried multiple wordlists (rockyou.txt, password.txt from earlier) and am not getting it
You can DM me if you're still stuck
I'm hanging it up for the night. I'll read through the material again tomorrow morning and PM you if I'm still having issues if that's ok?
ok

Hey! im doing the Pivoting, Tunneling, and portforwarding skill assessment but the pivot host just isn't stable, im trying to use ligolo-ng, and I got it to work with xfreerdp, but my agent keeps getting dropped, is there a way to stabilize the connection so it doesn't constantly get dropped?
Your best bet is to swap over to the TCP vpn, although that can cause issues if you start another TCP tunnel within it, but aside from that, that should be more stable, if not quite a bit slower.
ill give this a try, thank you!
Still stuck on this if anyone has more advice

Worked without issues, Thanks again!
The Password Attacks module, I am still stuck on the Pass the Certificate, the second question. The Printerbug.py is showing an error. Any help? And yes, I have tried running it as root on both occasions.

Hello, In the Password Attack module, in this section: "Attacking Windows Crendential Manager". I can't run mimikatz like in the course because I don't have enough permissions, the hint says we should look at UAC bypass but I really don't know how to do it since there is nowhere it explains it in the course at this point and there is a lot of different techniques on internet. Where should I look ?
Explain
@low solstice this is not that kind of server, please familiarize yourself with the #rules
googling "UAC bypass" can be useful, in quotes as well, or you can try a baked pasta instead
I did but there is a lot of different technique from what I see, I'll look further more
the baked pasta doesn't require UAC bypass techniques
(i believe the section mentions it as a footnote)

Hi guys,
So in Hackthebox academy I am stuck in getting started with the web enumaration. There was a port 32776 open about Inlane Freight however this port suddenly closed and new instances this port is also not available. See the pictures I uploaded.
When I was enumerating the port I tried gobuster dir and gobuster dns. Only gobister dir worked and when I tried 94.237.48.12:32776/robots.txt it said site doesn't exist. When I tried to do Ctrl + U there was also nothing only partial written. Can someone help me with what I should do. Thank you in advance.
Can anyone help me out

If this is the same host you got the first flag from you should be looking at moving laterally. Since this content is above Tier 0, I am going to delete it.
Helllo for shells&payloads live engagement, I am having issues with the connectivity of it. RDP is terribly slow, I can't even open firefox, it just keeps crashing. I even logged in, started ssh so I could port forward, and it doesn't seem to like that as it's still having errors. Any suggestions?
Try the ones in the provided example for that section and play with the year a little.
Maybe you have an extra space in the end of the flag?

Hi Guys
Hi everyone,
I'm working on the Web Enumeration module and experiencing a persistent issue with the spawned machine (IP: 94.237.49.23, domain: enum.htb).
Issue: After restarting the VM (happened multiple times across 2 different resets), I'm seeing ports disappear over time and the web service on port 55600 never becomes accessible.
Example - Scan progression:
Scan at 22:20:
Starting Nmap 7.98 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2025-09-30 22:20 +0200
Nmap scan report for enum.htb (94.237.49.23)
Host is up (0.023s latency).
Not shown: 989 closed tcp ports (conn-refused)
PORT STATE SERVICE
19/tcp filtered chargen
22/tcp open ssh
25/tcp filtered smtp
111/tcp open rpcbind
31038/tcp filtered unknown
32775/tcp filtered sometimes-rpc13
32778/tcp open sometimes-rpc19
44442/tcp filtered coldfusion-auth
51493/tcp filtered unknown
52848/tcp filtered unknown
57294/tcp filtered unknown
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 6.15 seconds```
Scan at 22:34 (14 minutes later):
nmap enum.htb
Starting Nmap 7.98 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2025-09-30 22:34 +0200
Nmap scan report for enum.htb (94.237.49.23)
Host is up (0.024s latency).
Not shown: 996 closed tcp ports (conn-refused)
PORT STATE SERVICE
19/tcp filtered chargen
22/tcp open ssh
25/tcp filtered smtp
111/tcp open rpcbind
What I've tried (multiple times):
Full VM reset (twice) - same issue occurs
Waiting 15-20+ minutes after each restart
Scanning all ports with nmap -p- --min-rate 5000
Scanning specifically: nmap -p 55600 -sV
Testing with curl http://94.237.49.23:55600 - always connection refused
Verified /etc/hosts configuration is correct
Testing with both IP and hostname
The web service on port 55600 (or other if it's dynamic) is required for the gobuster vhost enumeration exercise, but it never starts. Port shows as closed or doesn't respond at all.
Is this a known issue with this specific module instance? Could there be a problem with the deployment?
Thanks for any help!
55600 was previoulsy the apache port

I can access the entire content without loosing cubes. Is it normal thing or it an issue from hackthebox end.
What? You just said you got the silver subscription thinking you can access courses, then later you say you were able to access the content as expected. Yes that's normal to be able to access the content with a subscription.
Any chance I could DM?
Sure
Hey, is there anyone I can dm about 'LLM output attacks' Module ?
Hey, I’m stuck on the new Skills Assessment File Inclusion. I found a hidden parameter, but no luck finding any LFI to use with it. Any hints on what direction I should take?
HI all, I am working on the AD enumeration and attacks module. Up until recently, fping and nmap were finding plenty of hosts on the ip range i was given as part of the lesson. All of a sudden nothing is online in that ip range. Did something change?
Restart the attack host. It did that to me before.
Just a terminate and reset should work?
Can we perform SQL injection on secure coded login page
On the easy one, upon making some errors in admin" OR '1'='1'
I get Syntax error: Encountered "1" at line 1, column 56
That means SQL injection is possible here
But what about a hard login page which says incorrect username or password?
Has anyone here completed the new season9 box. I’m super close and just having one issue and wanted a tip or nudge in the right direction. Please dm if you have.
You'll have to verify your HTB account by following the instructions in #welcome to get access
You should also be able to see #<theboxiself> under HTB:Platform
dm if you still need help

john --format=pkzip --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt notes.hash

If still stuck dm me.
same issue bro i dmed u
can i dm somebody , i need a hint in the skill assessment of the password attacks module
Followed the note, but there is another error
what happen if do i install it with sudo apt install odat?
You can't run it in a python env?
Hey guys I have an issue with my machine any I lunch a vpn and connect using I have some issues
i am a newbie, im just following the command in the HTB section but seems they don't work
Well run the pip command afrer this :
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
nothing happens
when can i access general?
by following the #welcome instructions
the installation of ODAT still doesn't work😭
because it's likely not in the Kali repos
either way when installing libraries with pip, you shouldn't need to prefix with python- 😉
so is this the error?
as a note: if you're installing a python library via apt; sudo apt install python3-libraryname
if that doesn't work install via pip, dropping the python- prefix
Has anyone solved the new Skills Assessment - File Inclusion challenge? If so, could you please DM me with some tips on where to start?
pip install python-libnmap this is the command in the section, how have i to change it?
as i said at least 3 times already, try dropping the python- prefix
:)
or you may need to specify pip3
sorry but i already see the python- prefix in the command
DROPPING means REMOVING
pip install libmap this one?
libnmap*

Before half of the ports closed again, I was able to test the site on port 44443 and get a flag that is unrelated to the exercise and does not validate the module.

A few minutes later the port is closed and the curl no longer responds.
could just be ethat the module is bugged but either way reach out to support

Why are you nmapping the public IPs @fiery forum ? You are assigned a docker instance on a very specific port
no need to nmap the whole server (or to nmap the given public IP in general)
it's a target ip, given by the module
Yes, but when you're given a public IP + port you do not nmap the whole server
again
there's no point in that, as the specific port is dedicated to you for that specific exercise, other ports are for other users
i don't use kali so i don't know what is/could be going wrong,
what module are you trying @devout lily
Footprintg module - Oracle TNS section
ok, but to find the specific port, i need to nmap it?
i have problems with ODAT installation
no, you are given an IP + port
no need to nmap it
what module / section are you on @fiery forum
ah that explains
Web Enumeration
section?
have you already done the Footprinting module?
Click the refresh button next to the target
I think you were given a bad spawn 🙂
can u help me with the installation?
just do this
python3 -m venv .
source bin/activate
pip3 install python-libnmap
(not sure if it works, but your error message tells you to use pyenv or venv)
with the . at the end?
yes
indeed,ty
haven't seen this happen before myself , I have gotten 2 instances randomly sometimes, but always with a port
i m probably lucky and inovating

done!!! thank you really much, can i go on with the rest of the commands in the section or have i to do something else?
Another error, similar to the last one
Don’t use sudo
I have done all the commands but i get this error when i run odat
have i to exit from python3 env?
