[upbeat raptor]

it wont open it tho bc

goverment blocks this shit here in egypt

[hardy ocean]

thats why

you need a vpn

[upbeat raptor]

i do me and my freind were able to bybass it

[hardy ocean]

your government is blocking the apt-get command from fetching updates

[upbeat raptor]

with shadow socks and openvpn

[hardy ocean]

hmmm

you could try using protonvpn, you get one free client per account

[upbeat raptor]

actually let me get an openvpn config to a country see if that works

[hardy ocean]

do that

is the kali machine a vm?

[upbeat raptor]

yes

[hardy ocean]

try fiddling with the network adapter settings, or using a vpn inside the vm

[upbeat raptor]

i cant move windows in the vm anymore

idk why

[hardy ocean]

restart the vm

[upbeat raptor]

i did

[hardy ocean]

you need to restart the vm to apply network adapter settings

huh

do you have a snapshot of the vm in a working state?

[upbeat raptor]

ill see

[hardy ocean]

what hypervisor you using?

[upbeat raptor]

how do i reset it

the vm i am willing to set it up again

[hardy ocean]

the hypervisor is the program that runs the virtual machines

[upbeat raptor]

virtualbox

[hardy ocean]

if it broke then make a new one

do you have a kali.vbox file?

you can use that to make the setup that much faster

[upbeat raptor]

yes

that what i used

[hardy ocean]

ok

i would try using a vpn in the vm

[upbeat raptor]

yes but the vm is broke how do i reset the system

[hardy ocean]

uh

make a new instance the same way you made the old one

delete the broken instance or keep it if you want to find out how you broke it

[upbeat raptor]

ok

i did it

i deleted it

[hardy ocean]

have you still got a vbox file?

the one you used to create the vm

[upbeat raptor]

yes

[hardy ocean]

try making a vm with that

if its broken

you will need to download a new one

bear in mind, i am not super well versed in the use of virtualbox and you will find stuff online given the right research terms

[upbeat raptor]

doesnt mateer i got another file in another folder seems like this one went bad or smth

[stuck citrus]

[cloud creek]

Hi it seems like "throwback" room is restarting for a very long time

[stuck citrus]

Yeah.. same here.. waiting for a fix

[fringe linden]

I need help with my VPN connection...

Can anyone help me out, please?

Unless anyone else is having connection issues and this is a known issue.

Is tech support around?

Why is the VPN continually resetting?

Is there maintenance going on now?

Is anyone here...bots, humans etc.?

REALLY....is this true: "You can expect a response within 1-3 days of emailing us."? Please tell me this is NOT true for your paying customers!!!!!

Anyone...Bueller, Bueller, Bueller!!!

Does anyone monitor this chat?

How long does it take to get someones attention in here??? Are you not tech-support?

[broken bear]

Everyone in this discord volunteers their time. Please be respectful of that.

[fringe linden]

volunteer huh

[broken bear]

If you need help, please post a screenshot of the error you are getting from terminal.

[fringe linden]

1.8 million user base and volunteer staff...hmmm

I pay for this service...like everyone else

[broken bear]

Many community members do enjoy helping people, but being impatient and demanding help on a community discord isn't likely to inspire help.

[fringe linden]

please remember that

then please pass me over to paid help

I would never expect instantaneous help from a service that is freely available....when its charged for, this gives rise to expectations and three days to receive an email response is simply not the answer paid subscribers expect.

[broken bear]

I'm not a THM employee, your best bet to get the support you want is to use the email address. [e-mail]

[fringe linden]

this is the email that says 1-3 days turn around....so twiddle thumbs till then

[broken bear]

Or, you know, be polite and do as I asked: post a screenshot of the error you are getting in your terminal.

[fringe linden]

this is well beyond polite...just for my reference, if you pay fro a service, oh, let's say cellular phone service and it goes down for three days...how long would it take you to replace that defective service?

I get the volunteer part and that is out of the hands of volunteers...I am not blaming anyone individual....what I am doing is questioning the service level.

FYI, the VPN connection is in a continual reset.

[broken bear]

Continual reset isn't the error that you are given in that log. Do you see the line that start with the timestamp and OPTIONS ERROR?

[fringe linden]

That isn't a log, it's the terminal continually trying to connect.

I see the OPTIONS IMPORT, is that what you are referring to?

[broken bear]

Look a few lines down. There's a specific thing it's telling you is wrong, and correcting it requires a small edit to your .ovpn file.

[fringe linden]

Are you referring to adding 'AES-256-CBC' to my ovpn file?

[broken bear]

The cipher itself should be in the profile, the option changed with OVPN versions and sometimes the ovpn generator seems to generate from the old version. I don't know, I haven't experienced this myself. Change the cipher AES-256-CBC to data-ciphers AES-256-CBC

[fringe linden]

worked

not sure why this isn't done automatically, upon download of config file, from THM

I regenerated the file, several times

I cannot be the only one who encountered this...sounds like a fix THM may want to implement.

thanks @broken bear

[tender anvil]

Hi There

I'm trying to connect using openvpn

but its in an infinite restart loop

[plush bay]

step 1: try the vpn troubleshoot script
step 2: if that does not work post screenshot of the error message

!vpnscript

[sharp bison]

Use our VPN troubleshooting script to diagnose common issues!

https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting

can you also check the error message i just posted please

[plush bay]

already did... and if the troubleshoot script does not fix it shadow will give you details how

[tender anvil]

i fixed the timezone and time, didn't notice that, but still no fix

also, tun0 interface does not exist

[plush bay]

okay then sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' <your ovpn file here> should fix it... this uses stream editor to open your .ovpn file and change cipher to data-ciphers will make it be able to connect when using openvpn 2.6.0 or above

@tender anvil ⬆️

[tender anvil]

wow it worked

but can you please help me understand what this command means for future reference

[plush bay]

find cipher... replace with data-ciphers....

why that matters?? read the error message of your vpn connection attempt above for how openvpn changed how they handle the cipher for encrypting the connection

[tender anvil]

it all worked and i appreciate it, but i just want to understand the difference between cipher and data-ciphers

[plush bay]

failed to negotiate cipher with server... add data-ciphers ciphername to options if you wanna connect
is the error that openvpn provides

i.e they renamed a setting to allow multiple options instead of a single cipher option and that broke older ovpn files that did not provide both

[tender anvil]

ok i understand

thanks for your help!

ping to my current active machine is coming back 100% dropped, and I'm showing not-connected to the openvpn server on the website

[bronze vale]

Not all machines respond to pings, can you try typing curl 10.10.10.10/whoami in your terminal, please?

[bronze vale]

Yup you're connected just fine

[median fjord]

wut

on the website it shows not connected, also, I was able to ping and nmap scan the same room just this morning just fine, now all my packets are being dropped
for networkservices2

[broken bear]

what does ip a sdisplay?

[bronze vale]

Ignore the access page

[median fjord]

so what is 10.13.11.169 on that screenshot, is that my personal openvpn tunnel?

[broken bear]

You are definitely connected, what happens if you refresh that page? But really, you are on the THM VPN. 10.10.10.10 is a special test IP within the THM VPC, and you are clearly getting a tun0 address that's in the network space.

the 10.13.11.169 is your VPN assigned IP address.

[median fjord]

ohhhhh, cool! Yeah, no matter how many times I refresh I get the same x after connected with a 0.0.0.0 internal virtual ip address, and the same happens for the NetworkServices2 room, every time I terminate or time-out my room and try to restart it, I get the exact same ip as I had previously, which in my experience is not normal. Maybe there's an IP display glitch?

Today is my last chance to practice ad and pivoting for OSCP, I really aprecious the help 🙂

[naive dust]

When you add someone as a  friend in THM you have to accept the request through mail ( but in Mail It showes you the other person's Original Name instead of there username) . It would be better if we can just see other people username .

@stray cove

That's the real name of that person instaed of there THM username which is something totally Diffrent

[dry ledge]

the holo network is stuck on resetting and therefore appears to be down

[bronze vale]

Why are you pinging Hydra exactly? :)

[bronze vale]

What’s up?

[stray cove]

there should be a feedback page that you may post that suggestion to

hello i need help

[weary spindle]

@elfin storm

Which room would you like to do?

[elfin storm]

im doing metasploit

[weary spindle]

Have you started the machine on Task 1?

[elfin storm]

yes

[weary spindle]

The ip highlited here is the IP you interact with. 🙂

[elfin storm]

yes i know that

[stuck citrus]

Just a reflection. Many people only have the oportunity to study on the weekend because of work. Is there any chance to make support team to be extended into 7 days support? There is no chance to solve connection issues if discord mods here have not the rights to do that at the weekend

[elfin storm]

then in make e sudo openvpn file

and then...?

?

[weary spindle]

Well, what are you exactly trying to do?

What does the task ask?

[elfin storm]

i have made a ping to the ip and its put all packets lost

in trying to do the metasploit:explotation -> scanning task

[weary spindle]

I can't see that room.

[elfin storm]

mestasploit the second unit that is vip

in the task you need to scan the net-bios and so on

but when in write at the rhosts options the ip it doesn´t works

[weary spindle]

Can you show a screenshot?

[magic marten]

in the room insekube i got a problem after gaining reverse shell in /tmp folder i cant see kubectl (the guide tells me i cant find kubectl file but i just see . and ..) am i doing something wrong?
https://tryhackme.com/room/insekube
"Now let's move to the /tmp directory where the "kubectl" is conveniently located "

[elfin storm]

probably fot task you can only use the atack box ?

it can be that true or not?

[magic marten]

i didnt use attackbox i used vpn ill try with attackbox

[elfin storm]

but when youre doing a task an you connect to openvp

who yo ensure that uoure connected

[magic marten]

yes im connected to openvpn

[elfin storm]

but who yo ensure that

[naive dust]

try opening 10.10.10.10 on your browser

if you can, it means you are connected to the vpn

[magic marten]

flag{connection_verified}

i see this

[naive dust]

you are connected

[magic marten]

sooo its a room problem?

i cant locate kubectl file?

[elfin storm]

when i write 10.10.10.10 on my browser it gives me an error

[naive dust]

to see if you are connected to the vpn
you can use ip addr on your terminal and check tun0

[naive dust]

that's weird

i can see it

[magic marten]

inside attackbox also i cant find kubectl

wait i verify myself and upload ss

[weary spindle]

Something came in the way, the kali machine I had at school didn't seem to have any issues with the opvn config even with just cipher as the name, will look at it again tomorrow

[bronze vale]

Seems to be affecting the VIP servers, you can just remove data-ciphers and replace it with cipher to replicate the issue

[pastel tinsel]

It did only have cipher

And was working properly

Which is why I was confused

[plush bay]

could be because of another version of openssl or openvpn

[pastel tinsel]

It had the right openvpn which had problems

Even told me so too that it was deprecated and that I should use data-ciphers but somehow it worked still

Hey, I recently regenerated my VPN pack and ever since i am unable to connect to Tryhackme via openvpn.

I have attached the screenshot , there is 1 error which caught my attention that is, Failed to negotaite cipher with server.

[weary spindle]

You might need to change cipher with data-ciphers

[naive dust]

Also, i am connected with US east regular 1

[naive dust]

i tried it, let me share you the screenshot of the result

or perhaps i am supposed to edit the content of the file itself?

[weary spindle]

yes.

[naive dust]

Yes this is the case

changed cipher to data-ciphers on line 9 of the file

[gloomy hatch]

Odd problem I'm having with my kali virtual machine; I'm not catching shells on netcat, and I'm not sure what to do, change, whatever.

Was working the Bypass UAC room(https://tryhackme.com/room/bypassinguac), and everything other than catching the shell was working fine. OpenVPN is set up and displays in the top bar green light thing, the RDP and backdoor in the room was working fine; everything up until that second-to-last step of catching the shell with netcat.

The Kaffeesec room needs an upgrade. Some things changed and shadowban.eu (task 4 last question) is end of live and not available anymore. " The test results are not reliable, anymore. Twitter has changed their frontend to use new GraphQL endpoints. To properly test and reflect the behavior of the site, I would have to make those changes to the tests, too. I have no interest in Twitter anymore and moved on to other projects, well over a year ago. Thus, shadowban.eu is down for good."

[pastel tinsel]

only send a screenshot

of the top lines before the cert

[pastel tinsel]

change the cipher line to data-ciphers instead

[wicked mesa]

yep

is working

so they may change that in the try hack me platform

cause is generating wrong config files

[pastel tinsel]

well it's not, it's generating the right config files when it comes to the server, it's your client version of the openvpn which does not like the config 😄

[weary spindle]

I think it's down to more which Openvpn you have installed.

[wicked mesa]

strange

[pastel tinsel]

the older version of openvpn client accepts the config, the newer version doesn't cause of the name change

[weary spindle]

I held mine from updating.

Hey guys, as soon as I'm done a room the best practice is to terminate the active machine (if the room has one, of course), I've run into issues where I tried to start a machine in one room but wasn't able to because a machine is active in another room, a machine that I may have forgotten to terminate. I don't think you can have multiple machines active at the same time tho

[golden thunder]

No worries 🙂 atleast now i know that there is an issue at TryHackme side. Thanks though!!

That is true @naive dust , but if there is already an active machine it tell you that "XYZ" machine is active and then you go terminate that. Also i logged back in after almost 12 hours so any active machine should be terminated itself.

How did you resolve that? is there any way to find out the active machine? i can't see any on my dashboard.

[naive dust]

Thanks man, sometimes it does, other times it doesn't, anyway it should be good, thanks 👍

I couldn't find a way to see active machines

[naive dust]

Would be nice to have an active machines window if possible, but either way it's not a big deal

since 20.04 is supported shouldn't 20.04.6 should be too?

is there any particular ovf version I need to use? (it isn't mentioned here in prerequisites) or select include iso option, etc? or a particular networking adapter to be included?

to be specific its ubuntu server version and not just ubuntu. Is that supposed to be or I need to setup the client version

Has to be OVA. Check the size, check the kernel is 5.4.

Please read the instructions in task one. You must access this server with one of the following virtual hosts:

overwrite.uploadvulns.thm
shell.uploadvulns.thm
java.uploadvulns.thm
annex.uploadvulns.thm
magic.uploadvulns.thm
jewel.uploadvulns.thm
Refer to the instructions in task one for more information

I am also connected to openVPN from THM. Can you please help me?
Thank you

[weary spindle]

Did you add them to your host file?

Oh you did.

[weary spindle]

cat the host file.

10.10.124.xxx with xxx being the last byte

[weary spindle]

You don't need to obfuscate the ip.

[jade mountain]

oh ok

no I mean its not obfuscated in my file

[weary spindle]

I know, but for troubleshooting situations like this, lol.

[jade mountain]

ok lol its 10.10.124.133

[weary spindle]

I can't even get on THM right now.

Did you add them manually or use the code the room provides?

[jade mountain]

I used the code the room provided, which is:

10.10.124.133 overwrite.uploadvulns.thm shell.uploadvulns.thm java.uploadvulns.thm annex.uploadvulns.thm magic.uploadvulns.thm jewel.uploadvulns.thm demo.uploadvulns.thm

You mean demo.uploadvulns.thm?

exact! ok so everything is normal 😂 . I just don't understand for now why I was asked to upload the hosts file but I will work on this room a little bit more and I think I will understand better. Thank you for your help

[weary spindle]

Look up Virtual hosts

[jade mountain]

I entered the machine IP address in attaxbox machine browser but couldnt reach out. I ping the IP and it is alive . Any guess why ?

[hidden wigeon]

How long have you waited for the box to start? Some will take 5~minutes to load fully.

[naive dust]

4-5 minutes but it is automatically says unable to connect

[halcyon oxide]

My VPN is connected, and when I ping the machine IP it doesn't work, need help here

[cosmic shell]

found anything? 😮

• I can't seem to understand something. I get different behaviour from the box. nginx seems to act differently

[zealous yoke]

So, from what I can see, this is the error AWS has given me for that conversion task
ClientError: We were unable to read your import's initramfs/initrd to determine what drivers your import requires to run in EC2.

I believe this is a compatbility thing - I'm not 100% sure though. The documentation I've found doesn't really explain it that well.

Double check that your operating system and kernel version is on this list https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/prerequisites.html

[cosmic shell]

Hmm Interesting, In between the aws page isn't what I see when I click check prerequisites.

[river lagoon]

hey guys I have a question

im still really new to THM, and am going though some of the rooms. when I get to the practical part of the room, and im on the machine, it will not allow me to enter passwords, or even copy and paste them, which does not allow me to progress. anyone know why this is happening, and how I can fix it?

[runic bane]

hello i cannot connected to tryhackme ovpn file can someone help me?

[weary spindle]

Can you show a screenshot of your error?

[weary spindle]

When you enter a password, it doesn't show you the characters as a security feature.

[runic bane]

[weary spindle]

Can you show a screenshot please.

[runic bane]

like this

[weary spindle]

Are you using the CLI to connect to the VPN?

[runic bane]

yes

[weary spindle]

Or do you have a private VPN running?

[runic bane]

no i am using openvpn cli in terminal

[weary spindle]

Can do you do ip a s in a separate terminal?

[weary spindle]

Is that the only tun you have?

[runic bane]

yeah i have only one tun0 running and others are l0,wlan0 and eth0

[weary spindle]

you're connected then.

[tiny bolt]

is this a daylight savings bug? it still says my streak is in place and i know i did events on that date

[timber moat]

thanks a lot ❤️

[glad gorge]

I'm having problem to connect to the vpn, I runned the troubleshooting script and it saying [-] tun0 interface does not exist, what should I do?

[weary spindle]

Run your vpn script.

That creates the tun0

[glad gorge]

You mean sudo openvpn config-file.ovpn?

[weary spindle]

sudo openvpn /path/to/file/filename.ovpn

[glad gorge]

nevermind, it seems that the script did everything and connected me to the vpn but how do I put down it now?

[weary spindle]

Do you see that?

[glad gorge]

No, because I runned the troubleshooting script

[weary spindle]

Ok, close the troubleshooting script.

[glad gorge]

And it exited but I'm still connected to the VPN

[weary spindle]

Yeah, don't you have the script running in a separate terminal?

[glad gorge]

No, the script ended

[weary spindle]

Can you type ip a s

[glad gorge]

Should I just put it down?

[weary spindle]

Do you have the vpn stored in the vpn manager?

If you want to,

You can sudo killall openvpn

[glad gorge]

How can I check?

[weary spindle]

Did you import it?

[glad gorge]

No

[weary spindle]

Then you won't have.

[glad gorge]

killall didn't work

[weary spindle]

Really?

[glad gorge]

Nevermind it worked, it just took 1 min, thanks

[glad gorge]

It seems that I can connect now without any problem

[weary spindle]

Yes, looking at your troubleshoot script you had more than 1 tun*

[radiant elbow]

How'd I fix?

[weary spindle]

[weary spindle]

Hey im having a weird issue with the vpn, im connected but cant preform an nmap scan on the target machine

[weary spindle]

What does the error say?

[fiery copper]

Nmap was acting like the machine was down, i did the whole practical through the killbox and that worked fine

I doubled check to make sure i was entering the same ip and commands in both btw so it wasnt that

[weary spindle]

Did it ask you to try adding -Pn?

[fiery copper]

Lemme do a run of that after i reboot the box, but shouldnt the exact same commands work in both a vpn connected machine and a killbox ?

After using Pn it worked tysm

Im guessing theres some networking reason why -Pn is nessary on the vpn but not the killbox ?

[stiff nimbus]

i was told when i change my account name that only certs would still reflect my name when completing the rooms for them and that badges would update and reflect my new user name.. but that isn't updating either, only new badges replicate my new user name. Is this incorrect or is something not working?? i couldn't seem to walk through anything on the chat portal to sub a ticket for this question so figured here was the best place.

[sonic plinth]

Hello, I have a problem with Room Attacking Kerberos, I added the <IP> CONTROLLER.local to the /etc/hosts , downloaded the User.txt and installed kerbrute but when I run the kerbrute userenum, it always return "Done! Tested 1690 usernames (0 valid) in 0.409 seconds", anyone help me? thanks

[weary spindle]

Noz thr attackbox uses arp to scan.

No the*

[lime egret]

hey is there any reason thefackbank machine keeps randomly disconnecting me?

correction Hack FakeBank machine

[weary spindle]

Are you you in the attackbox?

[lime egret]

yeah 10.10.102.28

[weary spindle]

Maybe that's why.

That room has a split screen machine.

[naive dust]

I just got disconnected from my snort machine 😅

[weary spindle]

Are you using fakebank.com or the ip?

[naive dust]

in split-view

anyway that's a queue for me to go to sleep.

[lime egret]

im in split screen mode

[weary spindle]

Can you take a screenshot?

[weary spindle]

Try refreshing.

[lime egret]

same issue unfortunately

[lime egret]

it was doing it a few days ago also, I ended up logging out and came back today and see if it would work again

[glacial hound]

Hey, could you try clearing your browsers cache, or using an incognito tab?

[lime egret]

after trying a lot of different things i have found a solution, if i disable my vpn everything runs fine

[dusk temple]

some times ago i redeem my voucher in the wrong account! Can i transfer my subscription to my main account? Can anyone help me ?what should i do to transfer?

[weary spindle]

I don't think you'd be able to transfer?

[thorny halo]

Hi,
i get this every time i scan any machine on thm

[dense bramble]

Did you try what the note tells you?

[thorny halo]

yes

gives me nothing

there is a problem in openvpn probably

[pastel tinsel]

use the script just above

[thorny halo]

i connect successfully but when i use nmap it disconnects me

[pastel tinsel]

try this, it should help it
sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200

[thorny halo]

i will change cipher AES-256-CBC first to data-ciphers AES-256-CBC then i will try again

[pastel tinsel]

that's most likely the reason

[thorny halo]

connected but still have the problem

[pastel tinsel]

with the openvpn running, in a different terminal write the command I sent earlier

[thorny halo]

okay

still having the issue

no it disconnects by itself

some other attempt before the previous one

the weird thing is, i already have an ip address, and already connected

but cant apply any scan

i cant even ping

then im not connected, i have an ip and thm shows that im connected but in fact im not connected 🙃

yes im telling you every thing says that im connected and i already have an ip but, it doesnt seems like im connected by some how

curling this didnt work

okay

[bronze vale]

Ignore the access page

[thorny halo]

working now

but if i nmap the machine probably i will get disconnected again

im not suspending any thing, the openvpn is another workingspace si i dont touch it at all

i will try to change the server

no its not anymore

nmap or connectivity to htm ?

same problem even when i try -Pn it scans but without any output

maybe something in my router ?

ill restart it

restarted my router + pc and for some how its working 😂

I dont get it

well, thank you, you suffered too much with me 😅

It says i don't have tun0 interface

maybe because i am on a vm ?

[dense bramble]

Hmm, the openvpn file creates the tun0, try to do sudo killall openvpn and then see if you can connect

[viral schooner]

still nothing...

[dense bramble]

What error do you get, can you send a screenshot

[viral schooner]

I have this

[dense bramble]

Oh I meant to try and connect with ovpn again

[viral schooner]

ok idk how and why

but now it works

guess you are magic !

thanks a lot for your time 🙂

It's possible you may have had multiple instances of it running

Glad it works now
