Hey Whisperer can you show me how you did it? When I follow the steps mentioned above i get the following message "data-ciphers AES-256-CBC" cannot be found
Nevermind! it worked!
Thank you so much Shadow_Absorber!
👍You rock it
Does anyone mind trying it and seeing if they get the same error?
Trying to find the username/password I need to use when using OpenVPN to ssh into Network Services 2 room.
If I remember correctly, it's because the code is made in python 2 but I think they wrote something in #breaching-ad
It should still be the same login as it says on the page
Anyone having issues with openvpn in latest kali ?
Try this
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
Run this command, it will fix your cipher.
So turn off openvpn, run that command and start openvpn again
Awesome.
Worked.
Thanks

You're welcome
How did you figure this out ?
Hello,
I'm in the "Breaching Active Directory" lab and when I run openvpn or attackbox and configure the dns, then when I run it it ran "nslookup thmdc.za.tryhackme.com" I don't get a response
Are there any additional settings?
After openvpn updated to their version 2.6.0 they have changed up on names for their variables, before 2.6.0 it was called cipher and now it's called data-ciphers for the same variable, so there is this mismatch, it's basically the same variable, just a new name
Hi, people down in #breaching-ad might have had the same problem, please check through there and/or ask your question there, then it's easier for you to get help
thanks

is there a roomdeveloper channel?
may sound like a stupid question but I can get VMs to import and assign to tasks, but when I run them I don't get any information on the host, what IP address it's running on, if it's started successfully etc
the room development guidance is incredible limited

Hey, what OS/distribution and version are you using?
windows 10 pro
Do you have a subscription?
yea, we have trial going THM for business
Can I DM you?
yes pls
I cant start the Attackbox, anyone now when the problem get fixed?
i am doing itsybitsy room but i investigate the log but didn't got the flag so i read some blog post but in that onether source is there so, i asked that anyone know that why i can't get the other source?

Hey I can´t download the Config file for Wreath and i have tried all the deferent browsers Google Chrome, Firefox, internet explore, Microsoft Edge and Brave. I have also tried all the pinned guides in here and no one of the worked out.
Ohh btw. the error I get is 404. So what can I do now?
so you have tried the leave room rejoin room hit regenerate wait 2 mins hit downoad??
Yes i have
hmmmm
try and leave the room, join a different network, download that vpn file, leave that network and join wreath 😄
When streaming, how do I check that a room should not be streamed, I just look at the very bottom of the room for any small print. Also is it okay to regenerate the VPN after each Stream? or is it not necessary? Any tips on not revealing information, like maybe one or two set rules cause there's like a million things that should not be shared on stream.
What other room have a network to it?
Okay i can download breachingad config file but i can´t still download Wreath config file
I guess you have to leave the room and wait till tomorrow, that might fix it 😄
well okay 😦 I will try that
but now you know the AD networks work, then you can do them instead!
True 🙂
Should I have posted my question in a different channel?
think the rooms that are not allowed to be streamed says so very clearly in the first or last task
I am having issues connecting with openvpn, it is telling me that the ciphers are bad and I need to add one to the --data-ciphers. I regenerated my file and that did not fix it.
Thank you! I will check the room I just streamed and diligently look for that note in any future rooms I stream!
Gave +1 Rep to @plush bay
Out of the 600 or + rooms that there are, is it mostly user created rooms that can not be streamed? or some official THM learning path rooms can not be streamed as well? is it like less than 100 rooms where creators requested privacy?
Hi there, I keep getting error message every time I use the website it says: "Uh-oh! Something went wrong. Your settings could not be updated."
Any idea why is that happening?
hey all, I uploaded a .ova vm yesterday, it's been converting now for over 24 hours - is this normal?
@shy wedge I get the same thing but so far I haven't visibly noticed anything adverse happening... My streak is still going and I have access to everything I know of...
It would be nice to figure out though and get it to stop appearing/happening...
I don't know if I should send an email, but unfortunately I cannot connect with my VM. I checked everything, and attempted to connect to the HTB as an alternative which was fine. I checked that my VM was not running a connection unbeknownst to me, but nothing. I've regenerated my configuration and switched to one server to then switch back. For some reason it's telling me I'm connected on the Access via OpenVPN page. Maybe it still thinks I have an active attack machine, because I was using it all day away from my desktop? I spun up the attack box and then terminated the connection of the attack box though. Still says I'm connected.

!vpnscript
lets start here
Thank you! Unfortunately it failed the MTU check and I said forget and did a roll back. All good now. lol Guess that last full upgrade didn't take too well

Hey guys,
i'm running to an issue connecting with openvpn. I've regenerated my config file a few times and tried different servers, yet I still can't connect. The output I get is: OPTIONS ERROR: failed to negotiate cipher with server. Add the server's cipher ('AES-256-CBC') to --data-ciphers (currently 'AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305') if you want to connect to this server.

open your .ovpn file and change the line that says cipher to data-ciphers and keep everything else the same

I just ran through a full upgrade of my Kali VM but now my TryHackMe OpenVPN connection pack doesn't work. I have tried regenerating it as well as switching to a new server and using that pack but neither have made a difference. I also restarted my VM just to check if there were any changes that needed a restart first, but still nothing. Is anyone able to let me know a couple more troubleshooting steps I could try?
ah, im silly, just seen the post right above me! I shall give thsi a go!
@safe kraken I changed cipher to data_ciphers and this is the output i get that keeps looping over:

@safe kraken @burnt spindle Just performed the same step and it worked for me
I just updated last night and same thing happened to me.
what is your cipher set to
@safe kraken copied and pasted: data-ciphers AES-256-CBC
@safe kraken same same- stalls at 2023-02-09 19:15:58 VERIFY OK: depth=0, CN=server
are you running it as sudo?
Yes, I'm going to look back at some of things I changed earlier trying to troubleshoot. I'll let you know tomorrow if it worked or not. Thank you for the help!
best of luck!
try a network manager restart too
if you changed a lot, it may be eaiser/quicker to just regen the connection file then make the cipher change 🙂
TryHackMe login form is killing me with false "invalid Captcha" failures.
I can check the mark, it turns green. But when I try to login, I get "invalid Captcha".
Repeat the above a few times, and I get a "5 minute logout" banner that will display for HOURS and never clears.
I'm using Win12, Chrome + FireFox, and add blocker is disabled for the domain.
For me the "Sign in with Google" does not work either. I'm logged in with Google, but the button just errors out "account already exists", and does not log me in as expected.
I need to sign off, but if a volunteer with the project could work with me I would appreciate it. This has been happening to me for weeks - I've never successfully used my account.
Please email support support@tryhackme.com - if this is happening as you describe, it's absolutely something that needs to be addressed.
that's rough
Usually related to ISP, intermittent internet connection or something blocking the CAPTCHa
ok, that makes more sense.
(also accounts that were not originally made via Google cannot use Google to sign in @drowsy bone)
I am not being able to type in the password in the AttackBox terminal, Any idea?
If you're putting in a password for ssh or something.
That's intended, it's so people can look at what you're typing.
- would give a clue to length.
They are working on the VPN issue guys... check the pinned messages.
Btw:
-
download the yournickname.ovpn new file from the THM site
-
from bash run:
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' yournickname.ovpn -
start your vpn:
sudo openvpn --config yournickname.ovpn -
if you want to start the vpn in the background use:
sudo openvpn --config yournickname.ovpn --daemon
and check your tun ip with:
ip -br -c a

@broken bear @bronze vale Thanks. So I mailed Support, and then I resolved it. Putting resolution here in case it helps someone
TL;DR - When Chrome is automatically prompting the user to save their user/passwd, for some reason Chrome is *actually *stashing the value of Full Name instead of Username or email address. (Maybe a user error but to be fair it's the first such failure I've seen out of 100's).
SOLUTION: Chrome can't tell which field is the Username component. The form HTML needs "hints for Google Smart Lock".

Quick question.. when you regenerate your ovpn config file shouldn’t you get a new IP address associated with the new config file?? As of right now the only way I can obtain a new IP address is by changing regions..I’ve read the pinned messages and see they are investigating vpn issues ,, was wondering if this is also being looked into..
Hi, no, regenerating the file shouldn't give you a new IP.
Why are you trying to change your IP?
Its fixed now, everything seems to work properly.
Was streaming a video and vpn ip was exposed… so I tried regenerating a new config file on the same server thinking the ip would change..but I guess not so ended up changing regions to get new ip.. is there a way I can get a new ip on the server that I am closest to…
Only by switching VPN region for regular rooms.
Ok…thanks.. in theory if I was playing koth, and ip is exposed to numerous players,, besides the rules what would stop someone from scanning my ip and potentially turning my vm into the new koth game… since the only way to change that ip would be to change regions and there are only a limited amount of regions?
Hey, I have questions about how to use Openvpn, is this the right channel?
I've set up my Openvpn in kali no problem but I am unable to actually access the active machine. putting in the ip of the machine in the browser does not work.
i can see my tunnel interface Ip address as well when i use ifconfig
Are you sure said machine has a webserver running?
no but i cant ping it either
Is it a windows machine?
nmap room in comptia+ learning path
i only tried to put the ip address in the browser because it was a step to verify Openvpn connectivity
Not all machines are the same, some have a webserver, some don't. I'm not on my PC so can't check, but if you send some screenshots, I can have a look 🙂
Which IP address are you putting in the browser?
It's not the IP of your VM.
the machine ip address
oops I am not sure on how to verify
I think they meant while streaming they exposed their THM IP
Guess I was under the assumption that regenerating would generate a new config file along with new ip… thought it was issue/bug or something. Not a big deal tho. Anyways thanks

hi all on linux, how would i cat an entire directory full of 10 files?
i tried cat -A and cat ...list all file... with no luck
Currently having issues with Open Vpn. I have switched servers twice and downloaded new config files. Any advice?
@naive dust are you opening your file on your kali linux machine?
i had the same problem on KALI. i had to download the file from THM and then open the file itself on my terminal as root
once it opened, i was able to connect to the open VPN
ok, but I cannot access my VM from AttackBox to do the tasks. For example: Start the virtual machine on this task, wait 2 minutes, and visit the following URL: https://10-10-2-150.p.thmlabs.com. The Firefox is trying to connect my VM, but it ends with an error message "The connection has timed out"
I run it through the openvpn troubleshooter but it keeps saying connection process is taking longer than expected
what are you trying to open the file on? your own computer... but is it a linux platform like kali linux?
you got terminal on that?
Parrot. But I haven’t ever had any issues except for today
im not familiar with parrot os. But if its terminal friendly for you i would totally recommend opening your doenload files for your open vpn download. Deleate any previous attempts with the download and reinstall a fresh one with the closest vpn to you as listed on THM website when you are downloading it. find that fresh file on your downloads and open that bad boy up. also check to make sure you dont have any VPN services running in the backround that you may have forgotton about
@naive dust i also had problems before because i didnt download the config file for the closest vpn location before
does anyone has any other suggestions? thnx!
Free users do not have internet access through the attackbox, but can still access room machines that you have to hack

ever since programs has been made, many have thought it's a good idea to change the name of the variables throughout updates, this openvpn has thought so too, they have then since the update 2.6 thought that the variable cipher should be called data-ciphers and is now saying "no thank you" to the old configs using cipher to tell what encryption to encrypt with

This isn't really the channel for these sort of questions, you could use #general as this server is only for THM related content,
But you could always ask your Uni if they can pull your logs.
But going forward, I'd suggest you lock your device if you're not using it, regardless if you're in the same room or not, there is no telling what they could/would access, and it would be very hard to determine if it was actually them or you that accessed whatever,

Hi Tech support! I am in the middle of developing a room which uses pwntools, and some features of pwntools cause the error "Could not allocate dynamic translator buffer" and cause the script to fail. I am not really sure what's going on here. I have googled this issue, and I have not found much. The scripts work fine on my own system (and I have previously written a room called Intro to Pwntools which does not have this issue). Does anybody know what I can do?
Edit: some people have said this issue can be solved with more RAM. Still, I don't think this VM should demand that much, it's just an Ubuntu Server 18.04. I can't really tell if this is the issue or not
Hello, i can't connect to my machine with VPN (yes i'm connected and i have a machine IP not working)
Why are you on your host?
Or is that a VM?

Yes sir
of course
Ok, are you on Windows or Kali?
i tryed different browser, still not working
Or other Linux system.
I'm on windows
Is Windows your host?
Yup
oh i see, kinda buggy ?
Not buggy.
But your exposing your host to the THM network, anyone can grab your tun0 and scan it.

You're going to need to email support for that.
Thanks

No dice.
Please keep in mind that support is busy and that a response will not be immediate.
does your config have anything in it?
Sometimes it just downloads a blank file
If you verify you can post a screenshot of your issue. You can do so by following the instructions at the link.
!docs verify
Everything looks like it should. Certificates are there, keys, etc..
should work, try without the quotes
I'm seeing this in my terminal when I run the config "2023-02-13 19:15:52 OPTIONS ERROR: failed to negotiate cipher with server."
maybe try to regen the config
I just noticed this. Any clue? Add the server's cipher ('AES-256-CBC') to --data-ciphers (currently 'AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305') if you want to connect to this server.
I"m trying now.. BRB
I don't understand how they haven't fixed this yet. There have been so many people asking on here about this in the last couple of days.
I appreciated the help from the community though to fix mine.
It was also nice helping out a couple of people with what worked for me too.
There should at least have been an email sent out to subscribers with actions to mitigate for the time being!
I was pretty close to throwing my keyboard
Wait until you get to the Active Directory rooms, lol. There are config files for each room.
I just started the Net Sec Challenge, Active Dir is coming up on my list.
Not a big deal though I just have a template for the ovpn stuff and the /etc/resolv.conf that there are no instructions on.
Active Dir is frustrating. So far the quality of rooms and lessons has been pretty good, enough to make me look up a bit outside the curriculum and everything is in logical order. With the AD rooms, just getting connected was a chore, with incomplete instructions, and the lessons seem to be out of order without much context.
I'll keep that in mind.
Feel free to message me if you have issues, I've had to struggle through a lot of it and judging by lack of response on the Discord either I have bad timing or not many people have done it. I would be more than happy to help you not struggle like me.
Awesome, man! Very appreciated.
@naive dust Try this. Maybe it will help.

Forgive me if I have brutally missed anything, is there any way I can terminate all the running VMS in my account? I tried to start a new VM and it showed that I maxed out to 3. Now I cannot find them when I go back to the room.

The Nmap room won't generate a target machine_ip. please help
the target machine_ip wont populate. this is for the nmap room #site-support
You need to launch the machine with the "Start the machine" button. (Check for recent tasks)
Where would I fine recent tasks? because Ive started and restarted the attack box multiple times and still no dice
You need to launch The target Machine. Not Attackbox.
Task 1, the MACHINE_IP is the target machine's IP address.
thx, I couldn't check
I do appreciate the help!

Hey, i have an issue with openvpn, the website says im connected yet i have disconnected and ended the process on my machine. Im trying to reconnect and getting an error about the servers cipher
Here's where I'm at. I'm running Kali on Virtual Box. Network connection NAT.
I can access THM spin up OpenVPN and get access to some rooms, and partial access to others. In the last room I was working "ToolsRus" made it half way through. Was able to get the login/password, the next step is to connect to open port x.x.x.x:1234
This is where things stop working.
Until I switch over to Bridge network mode. Then I can access the rest of the box.
My questions is why does the room Not work with NAT and only on Bridged?
2nd Is there a way that I can utilize the VPN I'm running on my local system while in Bridge mode?
Hi guys....
I have been using this VPN file for quite some time and suddenly it stopped working. the error say "failed to negotiate cipher with server. Add the server's cipher (AES-256-cbc) to --dataciphers.
So obviously that's what i've been trying to do but every effort I have made to add this cipher has not been successfully. I consulted the configuration file and confirmed that the cipher in question is correct but I cannot get the VPN file to stop behaving this way. I'm sure i'm missing something simple but good lord it's not for lack of trying. please advise.
Hi
I am trying to use open vpn on my own kali machine on bare metal and my VPN profile keeps failing, it worked in the past without any issues, but now seems like I am unable to connect, I already tried the THM trouble shoot script and the output is what i got below

Failure to connect to the VPN can usually be solved by one of the following options:
-Regenerating your OpenVPN config on the TryHackMe access page (https://tryhackme.com/access)
-Switching servers, then regenerating your OpenVPN config
-Checking your system time. If your system time is incorrect then this can cause issues with the authentication process
If none of these methods work, please ask for further assistance in the TryHackMe Discord server, subreddit or forums.

would someone be able to help? im now at a loss here, i paid for my subscription and everything worked for the past year but all a sudden now my vpn no longer works
funny thing is it says im connected but i am not
is there anyway that i can be booted from any sessions that may be open, i feel like there is a ghost session that might be open
i already changed servers and when i try to reconnect it then says that its connected but fails over and over when i try to connect
so not sure if i am missing something here
2023-02-14 22:45:35 Failed to open tun/tap interface

this is also what i get when i try to start my thm openvpn profile
any help would be appreciated thank you
This sounds like something deeper is going on with your vpn.
Can you pull the logs and output when you try to connect?
yea i think so as well
i was thinking that there is something going on with thm on this one
sorry what is this link for?
I haven't had any trouble connecting to the VPN from my VPN
i think it just might be my profile
It's to link your thm account to your discord account
It grants additional permissions, like image posting
i see
it helps with troubleshooting
sounds good thnks
If you can post the logs, even from the journald entries, it helps triaging why it's failing. So far the info you have provided is not enough to diagnose.
where should i look for those logs you would need sorry i am not sure
would it be somewhere in /var/log?
Usually they are somewhere under /var/log/syslog
You can also specify a location to log to, check the man page for that option. You can also check the journald entries as well.
ok give me some min and i can look
The fact that tun0 isn't being created indicates that something is going wrong either prior to or during the auth phase. You should see an entry that logs that error or problem
thing is i am wondering if its because i did not turn off the vpn for like a month and when i rebooted my computer it started to have these issues
That would be extremely doubtful. If you have regenerated and downloaded a fresh copy of the vpn config file, that would take care of any corruption of a local file.
yea i did do that
what does not make sense to me tho is when i try to reconnect the site says im connected but my computer is not connected
So it's extremely unlikely to be file corruption. Seriously, the logs are going to be the only way to diagnose this.
I would send an email to support, explaining that the site thinks you are VPN connected when you are not. It could be something on the server side, but I don't think that's doubtful. If there is another extant connection, that connection should be sharing your tun0 THM network address.
right i would think so as well but this is the only machine that i connect to thm with vpn

that's not what i'm talking about with the journal
sorry if i misunderstand that one
it's the archwiki, but the info about journald and systemd is common to almost all linux distros that have moved to systemd
looking at the link now thank you
that is the other thing too, when i change servers it show that its not connected but once i try to connect it shows connected on the website but on my local computer it is not connecting
still trying to find logs thank you
i think i might be finally getting somewhere but not sure yet
Anybody else having trouble with the vpn?
Just ask dude, you'll get an answer faster. 🙂
It's a problem with the vm not the vpn file, im just working on getting it fixed now xd
Ok, can you give me what issue you're having?
yeah seems like ethernet connection is bye bye
Are you using Vmware by any chance?
yep
I thought so.
I too experience this bug, I've reported it in the Vmware forums.
right now, the only solution I've had with this is rolling back a snapshot, or creating an entire new VM.
I'll keep that it mind if/when it happens again.

When doing the privesc linux room I am stuck on the NFS task. I get an error message when trying to run the "nfs" executable.
./nfs: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./nfs)
I have triple checked and recompiled the nfs file, but it seems it should work, but maybe the target machine is outdated?
I cannot manage to connect to the open VPN, I tried reconnecting and switching servers, wifi networks, regenerating, re-downloading. But to no avail, the TLS handshake/ key negotiation fails every time.
Maybe you have the same issue as I had previously 🤔
Do you have a cipher error?

Hello guys, i'm in a bit of jam right here, how do I turn off the sandbox ?
have you googled??? if not have you considerd running burp as none root
yes I googled, and i'm running Burp on the THM attackbox
as it is
Seems to be working, thank you so much
Wonderland box is not responding whenever I try to use vim, nano, enumeration
Is it just me, what can I do to troubleshoot this problem
maybe check into how to stabilse shells
I can't connect to the THM openvpn

Hi, I'm struggling to access the Phishtool machine (ThreatIntel2). I've got a 405 error, I cannot connect with OpenVPN or my AttackBox. Any clues on what I'm doing wrong ? 🤔
when it says that at the bottom it means it is running... open another terminal and do curl 10.10.10.10/whoami and it should give you back your tun0/attack machine ip
or the close down the connection hit ctrl + c
yeah, I'm connected to the network but my machine is isolated from what I can see, I can't ping my target box or visit it in the browser -- fixed
i forgot to add that I double check I was not trying to access the attack box IP instead of the deployed machine one
wow that worked for me as well thank you

Hi guys! I recently received my Jr. Pentester path certificate and it turned out that I had the wrong full name in my account. Is there any way to reissue a certificate with a corrected name?
Use paint.
You can't change name, you can't regenerate a new cert.
So guys, is there a way to reset the progress I've made on my account and restart from zero?
you can reset rooms on a room by room basis but there is no way to reset all rooms at once... unless you count making a new account
@plush bay Ah I see, thank you!
Gave +1 Rep to @plush bay
no problem
to reset the progress for a room hit the cog button on top of all the tasks next to the attackbox button and click reset progress
would it be useful if I made a script to reset progress of all joined rooms
maybe but dunno if that would be possible
also sounds like something you should talk with thm staff about if you are going to make said script
🤷♂️ I don't think It'd be useful also
I think it would be too heavy on the api and Tim Taylor would ask you to stop.
You see, I had to stop due to the circumstances last year and now that I wanna get back I see that I forgot lots of stuff and thought if there was a button like "Reset Progress" or something like that just to make my life easier xD
You can do manually room to room.
Ah, shadow already advised.
Hello guys its been a while and this is the first time im trying to run openvpn on a parrotOS in raspberrypi4b and i keep getting this error
also let that be the lesson to take notes for each room you do
What does that command do?
Will fix the cipher if that's the problem..
replace chipher with data-chiphers
However on the THM website it say im connected and gave me an ip address however when i try to ping a room from my machine i get 100% packet loss and i dont see the ip when i run “ip a”
!vpnscript
How do i know if the cipher is the problem?
most of the time it will tell you quite clearly after an [error] thingy
When was the last time you regened your vpn?
but generally it has to do with what version of the openvpn client binary you are running
I regenerated it today twice and redownloaded it
Thank you
Gave +1 Rep to @plush bay
Btw what are data ciphers?
It will say 'using depreciated ciphers' when you start the OpenVPN service using our configuration file
We're going to discuss the cipher issue tomorrow
well to use a vpn you encrypt the data you send through the tunnel to the vpn server... the ciphers is basicly the algorithm used to encrypt and decrypt the data
Okay thank you
Btw this is the result i got
Im going to regen the config file in a diff server and then see if it works
good luck and hopefully it is not a ntp time server issue
Hoepfully
I got the same results, im going to regen the config file in another server to see if it works lol
It worked for the EU-Regular-1 server but idk for how long
I noticed that it said im connected to the vpn server now without me running the openvpn command how do i stop it and restart the vpn on my own
sudo killall openvpn
Thank you

Im having a very similar problem ^
I tried to regen a new access token from different servers and all the same.
Gives very similar output. Stable connection, Openvpn is initiated, tun0 doesnt exist, and takes longer than expected to connect to tryhackme. On the access page it says im connected. traceroute stops me at the 2nd hop
I tried using similar ones such as proving ground openvpn and hackthebox and those seem to work as normal. soo idk what im missing here
Im having the same issue
I'm getting "--cipher not set" whenever I run the *.opvn file. I've ran the new code that was mentioned above and it's not fixing it. Any ideas?

Hey everyone, looking for some help with tunnels
Currently doing wreath and have a double tunnel, only thing is I can't get a NC through to test the connection

Any tips?

Ehhh, so the VM in the Threat Intelligence Tools, Task 5, tasks me with doing email analysis using PhisTool. The VM doesn't seem to have internet connection however, and phistool is an online service. The email that needs to be analyzed is on the VM.
Anyone who can help me?
Hi, you don't need Internet to solve that task. You can open the email with Thunderbird, as mentioned in the last sentence of the task (easy to miss) 🙂
Oh, I see. I had understood it as we needed to use PhishTool's online webapp to analyse the mails. Thanks for the answer @glacial hound ❤️
Ah, I see, it even says, "... and using thunderbird", neat
Yeah it can ne misleading, happy hacking 🙂

okay so how can i fix it 🙂 ?

I'm facing Openvpn connection troubles on Kali host
Checked my iptables, they are accepting packeets
TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity) TLS Error: TLS handshake failed SIGUSR1[soft,tls-error] received, process restarting
This is the error ^
I regenrated the .ovpn config multiple times to check but no avail. It happened suddenly, all was fine yesterday. I opened a ticket with THM but no response yet
Does your output have a cipher error?
It has this: DEPRECATED OPTION: --cipher set to 'AES-256-CBC' but missing in --data-ciphers (AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305). OpenVPN ignores --cipher for cipher negotiations.
Oooh cool!
Now it has a new error: Note: cipher 'AES-256-CBC' in --data-ciphers is not supported by ovpn-dco, disabling data channel offload.
It's not an error, It's a note
Right but it still wont connect
I’m having trouble downloading the wreath VPN. I get a 404 error. I have unjointed the room and waited two minutes, regenerated the VPN and joined back. Still could not download the vpn. Not sure 🤔 what else I can do. Would be great to get access. Thank you 🙏
Is there a available web path for tryhackme.com that gives the files used in a room? I'm connecting through OpenVPN on my vm to do the tasks and for example I'd want the exact wordlist used in a gobuster scan.
anyone having trouble connecting via openvpn?
check the pins - there is a replacement you need to do in the ovpn connection file
Yes, i'm on kali, so i add the DC's IP and 1.1.1.1 as DNS in the Network Manager, and it appera normally in my resolv.conf
Hi, where can I see which method of payment will be used for the renewal of my subscription? I can't seem to find that information on my profile; only that I'll be charged some dollars in a few weeks. If it is VISA, my card changed so the payment will fail.Thanks
If you look on the payment email, you'll see a chargebee portal you can log in to and change your card.
If you can't, ping me and I'll get the link for you.
Thanks for the info and the link! Paypal so all good with the payment

hey there, I'm unable to verify my discord token!
Do you get an error?
"Sorry this token is already used by someone"
I don't know where to ask this kind of question, but I think you will know this. If you order something in the TryHackMe shop and live it in Europe, do you have to pay customs?
It depends on where the camp is, I know. If it's in Europe I wouldn't pay duty, but if it's not then I will. So the question arises from where the things are sent?
Hi. I have my Kali Linux set up on my VMWare on NAT with my OpenVPN running on my host machine. Im trying out the RootMe room trying to achieve a reverse shell. I am able to connect to the webpage but unable to receive the reverse shell. Help please 🙂

sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
Run this in your terminal to sort out the cipher error, (this will make the change in your script)
got the vpn up! thanks for the help! should I run the kali in NAT or bridge?
NAT.
Thanks!
Bridged will expose it on your network.

hello everyone i'm doing the windows privesc room, and when i connect to the windows machine using RDP, it connects normally, but it cruches after a minute or so, this is the error message that i'm getting
Looking at it, your connection timed out. I don't know what may be the cause, because hopefully any AV/Firewall programs would be down. I guess just try restarting the machine, or working with the time limit. Looking at the error code only yields that the connection was closed, or refused, but due to you saying that it connects normally I can only assume it was closed. You ARE connected to the VPN servers, right?
yes i'm connected to the vpn, and i downloaded another vpn, and tried with it but still the same problem
ok try restarting the machine
i just did that, but the same thing happened
Try Reminna
okey i'll try it
did it work?
yeah it did thank you very much
Gave +1 Rep to @worn aspen
you should really thank @weary spindle
Gave +1 Rep to @weary spindle
thank you @weary spindle
Any idea guys?
The error is caused by the fact that the xrange function is used in the Crypto.Cipher.ARC4 module, which is not available in Python 3.x. The xrange function was available in Python 2.x, but in Python 3.x, it has been replaced by the range function.
To fix the error, you can modify the Crypto.Cipher.ARC4 module to use the range function instead of xrange.
Alternatively, you can try downgrading your Python version to a version lower than Python 3.x, which may still support the xrange function. However, this may not be the best solution since it is always recommended to use the latest version of Python to take advantage of the latest features and security fixes.
use pyenv and a virtualenviroment to run python 2.7.18 to run the script... tada easy profit and low chance of badness happening because of using old python
pyenv is what you use if you wanna handle old python scripts for exploits... it is a really good idea to get familiar with said tool
ty i learned something here 🙂

virtualenv or venv is also a good idea to learn for python if you are going to have a lot of tools to not mess with the system instance of python

Hi
Are you connected to openvpn
Ok
There
You can
to send pictures here do follow the instructions in this bot link
!docs verify
anyways @ionic lotus if you clicked the green start machine button a thingy like this will pop up at the top of the task list that will show an ip after waiting a while... this will also replace the MACHINE_IP part of the task with said ip
Yes I Got That
After Clicking It To open in New tab
It Was showing Problem loading page
If you open a terminal and ping -c 2 10.10.166.193 what does it do @ionic lotus ?
are you connected to the vpn???
if yes can you run this
!vpnscript
It's Was Showing Invalid Argument Bro
Wait I'm Going To This Room Now
But In Streaks Beside It Was Showing Diff Ip 10.2.26.253
Machine Ip Is 10.10.166.193
hash a feeling hashcat is trying to connect their windows machine to the tryhackme network
the first of those ips look like an attackbox ip or attack machine ip
I Made New File After Copied And Pasted That Code
Then What I Need To Do¡
the solution of removing xrange and replace it with range worked but when i try using it --> python3 vol.py -f dumpfile windows.info for example
it gives this error
Unsatisfied requirement plugins.Info.kernel.layer_name:
Unsatisfied requirement plugins.Info.kernel.symbol_table_name:

I'm having issues with the exploiting NFS room with downloading the bash executable #site-support
can has screenshot of error
where is mount command???
okay where is the setting of the $ip variable

i set it up in the terminal as export ip=10.10.240.39
Replying to shadow_absorber[She/Her]
ON
Message #site-support
okay then... did you leave and reenter the dir after mounting the nfs share
maybe even in another terminal window
as mounting to a folder you are currently in tends to cause problems
also can you give a screenshot of the contents of the downloads folder just incase you downloaded the bash file to another dir
hey, is there a way to reset my discord token cause I'm unable to verify it!
that is not the /root/Downloads folder
so i need to download the bash file of my machine into cappucino's user folder/
nah you can just open the link on the attackbox to the download link for said bash file and then place it in the nfs mounted dir
hi, I need to reset my tryhackme password's account, I already sent forget my password request but didn't receive any email, so I contacted the support via email and also no reply.
do you have any hint for finding the password for cappucino?
when i try to ssh in to that user it asks for a password
check the mounted .ssh folder for ssh keys
the id_rsa is still asking me for a password
see screen shot
do you ever read the warnings???
it tells you it can't find the file... so copy it to your home dir first
no need to be rude about it. but for your information, i did that
and i don't see anywhere where it says warnings!
sorry just got a bit furstrated
not even sure if you are on the right target machine but probably
but assuming a step by step guide to what you need to do:
copy the id_rsa key from .ssh
changes its perms to 600
copy id_rsa.pub and read it to check the username
ssh into the target machine
download bash from link provided
place bash in mounted nfs share and change permissions on it from the attack machine
run ./bash -p on target machine using ssh to get an effective root user id and group id
i figured out thanks. keep in mind that not everyone completely understands at first and that some of the instructions don't always tell you everything you need to know. just try to remain patient with people who are like me, just starting out on this journey. I really do appreciate your help!

The tabs that I mentioned here are 'Overview', 'VQL Drilldown" and 'Shell'. Is there any way that I can work around this? I tried all three browsers too 😓 . It looks like I can't attach a screenshot. Hope you know what I'm saying.
