it used to change

weary spindle
#

tun0 has never changed?

Unless you change username/server

modern lark
#

never - see screenshot above, when it is an 7: before, now an 11: before

#

it always assigns the same ip

#

even i killed it a few times

weary spindle
#

It's supposed to assign the same IP

modern lark
#

oh ^.^

#

thanks

weary spindle
#

In all your screenshots, tun0 is always the same.

modern lark
#

okay, if that is not an error - what could it be?

weary spindle
#

What error are you experiencing?

modern lark
#

the script kills the openvpn

weary spindle
#

Ok.

I see now.

#

What to do it, since the troubleshoot isn't changing your cipher.

#

nano agata.ovpn

modern lark
#

did it!

weary spindle
#

Change it so it looks like this

#

There should be more than one.

modern lark
#

do i change the cipher part or should i add it?

change

modern lark
#

works!

#

THANK YOU

weary spindle
#

🙂 Sorry for the confusion before.

modern lark
#

For the extra knowledge about the never changing tun0, I dearly thank you as well ^.^

#

nah, you explained it perfectly. Big kudos!

Hi, I am looking at the outlook ntlm leak room and responder is throwing me an error instead of listening to the incoming 445 connections

#

Error starting TCP server on port xxx , check permissions or other servers running

#

Can anyone please help ?

zealous yoke
#

That means the ports are in use. Generally speaking, depending on what you’re using responder for, it is okay

In the case of outlook ntlm room, you can ignore the errors @ripe slate

Hello Support Team. I have a problem with generating openvpn key for Holo network

#

every time I generate it -> it creates a file with 0KB

#

Usually the open vpn key is 9KB

#

When I use that key to start VPN to Holo networks - I encounter this error: Cipher negotiation is disabled since neither P2MP client nor server mode is enabled │
Options error: You must define TUN/TAP device (--dev)

weary spindle
#

Is the script blank?

remote stratus
#

I have tried switching to other regions, EU-VIP -> switch back to Holo network -> generate the key again -> it's still 0KB - Do you have any idea?

#

Let me check

#

Yes, I just opened the key - it's blank

weary spindle
#

No, the regions are separate from networks.

#

I click Regenerate - wait for 10s -> download again -> it's still 0KB

Ive been waiting for over a week for a simple reset password link

#

Lovely experience

weary spindle
#

How many users does THM have?

manic wind
#

How long can it take to reset a password

weary spindle
#

Maybe if you didn't forget it in the first place kekw

#

Anyway.

Just be patient.

#

The argument of even 5% of the users was to E-mail would create one hell of a backlog.

#

It's not my place to decide if THM have enough support staff in place or not 🤷‍♂️

#

But they've been here over the last week and told the same thing.

The matter they need to discuss can only be done over E-mail, coming in here and making comments won't make the reply come faster, or will it?

Only Jabba will know.

bronze vale
#

Please do not try to slander support staff because you’re impatient

#

cc @gray loom

#

We do have more support staff FYI, maybe you shouldn’t judge by one person complaining they haven’t received a response.

Stop trying to stir drama because I’m seriously tired of you, a community staff member, causing a problems

sweet jolt
#

is your real name viewable on the site by strangers or is it always hidden, id like to stay anonymous but have my real name on path completion certs

bronze vale
#

It is only viewable if you add a user as your friend

#

Otherwise, no

bronze vale

#

ah ok thx, have no friends so thats ok then lol

#

Ive really changed my mind about this community

#

Seriously disappointed

bronze vale
#

I’m sorry to hear that, but trying to cause drama in the community will get you nowhere

#

cc @stray cove can you step in please, I need to have a shower and cook

#

I wasn't lying about not getting a response I sent over 3 emails and the only response I got was to send an email from the email address I was enquiring which I then did and notbing ever since

manic wind
#

Nvm

#

🤦‍♂️

#

Its been over a week so obviously im getting frustrated

dense bramble
#

As far as I know, if you email multiple times, you go back to the end of the queue

bronze vale
manic wind
#

I cant go on the website at all

bronze vale
#

We are currently changing the way the inbox is handled so that users will receive a much faster response, but it hasn’t been implemented yet

manic wind
#

Can my warn be removed now

bronze vale
#

You can take that up with the community manager

stray cove
#

uhh, ok, I need a tldr here

manic wind
#

Tldr?

stray cove
#

sitrep, summary of event, what's going on here?

bronze vale
manic wind
#

Basically Ive been waiting for a week for someone to send me a password reset link

#

Because when I request it on the website im not getting it

#

I dont know why

stray cove
#

ok, but you do realize that every time you email support to bump the issue it puts you back at the back of the queue, right?

manic wind
#

No because I replied to the existing email trail

stray cove
#

yeah but it updates the thread in the inbox

#

and I'm pretty sure that support goes from oldest to newest 🙂

manic wind
#

Well obviously didnt know that

stray cove
#

alright, now you do 🙂

weary spindle
#

I told you last week

stray cove
#

the warning will stay, because harassing Jabba over it is totally not cool

manic wind
#

Harassing?😂😂😂

#

I just dm'd him saying I replied to his email

#

I said hi i replied to your email

stray cove
#

how many DMs about support do you think he gets? you aren't the only one

manic wind
#

Ok? But I wasnt harrasing

#

I was decent?

stray cove
#

it's fine, it'll be read

#

let's avoid DMing Jabba so he can focus more on the support side, k?

manic wind
#

If thats what u call harassment...

stray cove
#

he'll see that you replied, telling him over DMs won't accelerate your ticket

manic wind
#

Okay but I didnt harass him?

stray cove
#

Unwanted and unneeded DMs falls under harassment tbf

#

also rule 1

manic wind
#

😂😂

#

Oh my days

#

Alright

#

You're right im wrong

stray cove
#

if you were in his place, how would you feel if your DMs get exploded by people telling you useless info like "I replied to your email"?

manic wind
#

You're right✌️

stray cove
#

sighs

bronze vale
#

Just to make it clear; the reason you were warned was for lying about not receiving support.

I don’t care about the DM, but telling users you have been waiting for longer than you have causes drama.

You received a response; there has been an influx in queries over the past week which will reduce response time. I’m aware that you may be distressed because you want to access your account, but lying to receive a faster response will only irritate the people that handle your queries.

As stated, we are implementing a new system to answer queries much faster, we just haven’t implemented it currently.

stray cove
#

tldr: support is hard, it's kinda sucks now and we're working on it

manic wind
#

If it makes you any happier that you warned me then leave it👍

#

Or if you gained anything

#

Also I didnt lie about not getting a response👍

#

Nothing on this email

#

So before warning people for no reason, be a reasonable human being

bronze vale
#

Just because you emailed from two emails doesn’t mean you haven’t received a response homie

#

But just for you, jump into my DMs and I’ll resolve your problem right now @manic wind

#

Let me just go to my computer

manic wind
#

No its fine I'll be treated as every other person

#

But I dont like being punished for misunderstandings like these

bronze vale

hello, hoping that someone can help me get this VPN issue fixed. I have a vpn for the Holo AD room and the VPN is connected and the Access shows that I am connected but the room does not think that I am connected. I have regenerated a vpn config file (which BTW always need to be modified using this command - sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' ). I have rebooted my Kali VM, I have logged out of the TryHackMe website. What do I need to do to get THM to know that I am VPN'd in? I do not want to use an attack box.

I had found this script and had tried running it and it failed because it could not find the OVPN config. I gave it the full path to the OVPN file and it still failed.

weary spindle
#

Did you run it in the same directory?

warped pivot
# weary spindle Did you run it in the same directory?

I did not ... instructions say "advisable" but not required ... and it asked me for the path when it could not find it. I will try running from the same directory and see how it behaves, there are multiple OVPN files in that directory. If it can't take the full path to a file then how is it going to handle multiple OVPN files?

# weary spindle we don't like sharing this command, we've been advised to use this.

k ... i checked out the thm-troubleshoot script with just one OVPN file in the directory with the script and the OVPN file in the same dir. It did work, it did find the OVPN file and connect to the hololive VPN. That's fine and good to know that this exists but I am failing to understand why the sed command is discouraged since the script is doing the exact same thing ... exact same sed command.

weary spindle
warped pivot
# weary spindle Because people just tell a user to run this in their terminal, without actually ...

No ... but for me the point is to learn what the command is and what it does. If someone gives me a command to run I will want to know what it does. I do get what you're saying ... for the most part. I suppose that I am assuming too much with regards to who is on the other side of the Discord chat. See I would (and obviously I did) do some research into what the command is and why it needs to be run. I was only trying to assist. Don't make it into this support area very often so not all up on the protocols / expectations.

#

when you run sudo openvpn /path/to/wreath.ovpndo you hit ctrl + c after it stops outputting anything or are you closing that terminal window when you are trying to do other stuff to hack???

#

just making sure

icy iris

ok, when i ctrl-c:

yeah if you hit ctrl +c in there you are killing the connection

icy iris
#

yes

plush bay
#

okay so if that is not the problem and the vpnscript did not help... to change the mtu to a smaller number might help which you could do with this command sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200 but please make sure you know what this command does before running it

hard frigate
plush bay
#

mtu == max transfer unit == size of package == sometimes this helps on spotty connections by sending more packages that are smaller instead of fewer larger packages

#

@hard frigate ⬆️

hard frigate
#

I wonder if this could be useful for the problem I'm encountering, basically, I have to bruteforce into a HTB machine, but hydra estimates the time at 1h, which is enormous

plush bay
#

nah changing the mtu should not impact that

hard frigate
#

I see

ok, it's seem to work

Any clues on why Hydra is so slow ?

hey guys! I'm having somewhat of a dilemma here.

#

I created a new user with an alt. email on my host machine to make it clean for any THM stuff, and am currently using Virtualbox.

#

I installed kali linux and set everything up fine and dandy, but recently I don't know what the hell happened but i am now severely bottlenecking and tanking performance on it even with a complete fresh install, yet my gaming and those sorts of things are unaffected, so it only points to the VMware

#

The last thing I remember before having these issues, was saving the machine state off of Vbox. after that it was stupidly terrible to run even clean versions of kali.

#

I've only been using kali for THM, so I wasn't diving anywhere too deep. Just starting my learning process. So if I do a clean install of Vbox, kali and settings are all defaulted and unchanged from when I set it up previously, my question is how would my performance still be broken, and if there maybe a fix for that. and for context I'm running off a laptop with Ryzen 5 tech and an RTX 2070

#

i set my system settings to 4 cores(all my CPU), 10 GB of ram allocation

#

the first sessions i had, there were no issues and it ran smoothly.

Hello, I'm trying to do a nmap (in the room Network Services, task 3) and I noticed that I have a different output from my Mac or from the attackbox. Is it normal:

From my mac (with openVPN):

From the attackbox or Kali:

looks like there's some problems with the fix script, with it failing to check on the cipher problem, I will be looking into this soon when I got some time, to fix it

icy walrus

at my hand it stopped complaining about mtu

#

(might help you)

yeah, heard that some times now, might be because it checks for MTU before the cipher test, I am not sure

Anyone else having issues with VPN Connectivity on the Free Tier? I'm getting connection time out.

I've deep-dived in the documentation for the VPN connectivity: https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6611809-getting-started-with-openvpn
and https://intercom.help/tryhackme_help/en/articles/6496029-openvpn-general-troubleshooting already.

And I'm kinda sure it's not a VM issue either because I can smoothly connect to HackTheBox's VPN Endpoints. It almost feels like the VPN Endpoint for the Free Tier is taken down. But I know the VPN Endpoint for the Free Tier is not taken down, since I can ping and reach it.

I'm using ParrotOS Security default ISO, with normal virtual machine NAT.

can you try run the script with openvpn

sudo openvpn <vpn-file>

Shouldn't need to be forced with terminal, should just work.

But sure

pastel tinsel

we can see errors with it

stoic frost

I'll do -v for verbose

pastel tinsel

the errors can help us find the solution

stoic frost

okay, so it does connect via terminal it looks like

stoic frost

Apparently

#

How come I can't connect with the VPN quick menu for THM, but it works for HTB?

#

That's a minor inconvenience.

how did you set it up?

did you set it up manually or import from the file?

Hey everyone, it's been almost a month and I unfortunately have not received any help on resetting my password. Whenever I requested a new password, I did not receive an email, so I contacted support but only once was asked for my username and that was it. Could you please look into it/tell me how to best reach customer support directly again? Thank you in advance

This is my "error" message

So, you're using the network manager of the distribution. I'm not exactly sure what causes it, but I've never personally been able to get an openvpn profile to work with network manager. The recommended route to connecting to the VPN is by using the openvpn client either GUI or CLI 🙂

stoic frost
#

That's so weird that it works like a charm with HackTheBox tho. I would assume all OpenVPN files are the same.

pastel tinsel
#

all OpenVPN files are not the same, they are actually snowflakes in a way, it depends on how the server is set up 😄

stoic frost
#

That explains it then I guess.

#

What a bummer.

zealous yoke
stoic frost
zealous yoke
#

Ah fair enough, sorry, I just kinda assumed from the wallpaper 😄

No worries. Using the CLI/GUI is little inconvenient perhaps, but what I do is setup an alias so that I can just run thm-vpn on the terminal and sudo openvpn /path/to/ovpn executes -- a little quicker

stoic frost
#

I guess that's the fair solution indeed 😅

#

Another question. Is tutanota a blacklisted domain?

#

I can't submit my details

grizzled marlin
#

can you get gobuster on your computer without having to install kali linux?

#

or is this something that is already available but i just need wordlists to brute force through my terminal

bronze vale
# stoic frost

It’s not a recognised business email from what I can see

bronze vale
stoic frost
weary spindle
#

I think there is a box you can tick to ensure all traffic does not go through the vpn

But even then its still better to use CLI

bronze vale
grizzled marlin
# bronze vale On Windows? No I don’t think it’s available

yeah im on windows was messing around trying to do some basic pen testing stuff i had learnt the other day harmless as such but i just tried to install kali linux there but i now need to burn it to a disk or something just for the tools to be able do this stuff

stoic frost

Install Virtual Box, install the Kali Linux iso, open Virtual Box -> Import, select the iso and then set up the settings

No issues with JavaScript exec either.

#

You can try on a different browser if you want to, I think this is a known bug

I only use Mozilla Firefox. And I don't feel the hazel to install Vivaldi, Vanaduim or Chromium. No worries. Thanks for the help tho.

I want to keep more points for tough questions and less points for easy questions...
How could I do that?
Can someone please help me, it's very important for me please...

# hot ivy Oh, I am planning to host a CTF but I may not able to build a CTF website to ho...

Unfortunately, it's a limitation of the point systems at the moment. There's no "quick fix" for it if you wish to use THM (other than being okay with questions awarding the same amount of points).

If you need this level of granularity assigning different points based on a question/task, I'd recommend looking into other CTF frameworks such as CTFd. There are quite a lot out there that are free to use - you just need to host them yourself

what a nightmare tried downloading kali linux on vm and now after everything my drag and drop doesnt work on my tack pad

zealous yoke

You very likely need to install the guest additions. What virtualisation software are you using? VMware, Virtualbox, etc?

#

@grizzled marlin

stoic frost
#

I just installed Kali, also don't forget the Guest Additions installations. Very important if you need features like window resize or drag n drop.

Hey all, Noticed a lot of people have been running into a similar issue with negotiating the cipher for openvpn. Until the issue gets resolved on TryHackMe's end, I modified the recommended troubleshooting script to work for Arch users as well. You can find the pull request here. Hopefully it gets merged in soon.

or we go by the old methology of people knowing how to check themselves if they use arch based distros

I'll try rebooting the machine

don't.

it's already data-ciphers

this is weird, it worked fine until a few minutes ago

im in the middle of a machine

#

well imma head to lunch, maybe it'll resolve on it's own, maybe something on THM's side

#

I just tried one last thing and it worked lol

#

I connected my host machine to Proton VPN

#

and now my kali connects to thm's vpn

weary spindle
#

Strange, from things I've seen, using a VPN usually messes with the OpenVPN

cobalt perch
#

I know lol

#

but it worked

#

I wonder why THM got blocked on my current network, I just hope our SOC aren't on their way

#

anyhow thanks for your assistance and time

#

You're not on your home network!?

I'mma report myself.

I think I just unintentionally helped someone evade someone blocking the VPN from inside their organisation.

The reference about my SOC was a joke but I see how it could be interpreted otherwise

bronze vale
#

Speak to your company first

#

Furthermore, you acknowledged it with the message "I wonder why THM got blocked on my current network", there's no need for this conversation to continue

cobalt perch
#

This is odd because I've been working on countless THM machines for the past 3 months here with no issues, but I'll ask my IT just incase

bronze vale

Thank you 🙂

FYI @cobalt perch Let them know that we use UDP Port 1194 for the OpenVPN service, that is probably the reason.

The logs give me this error:

See here for the supported versions: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/prerequisites.html#vmimport-operating-systems-linux

Are you using Desktop version? These are - generally speaking - incompatible

I downloaded another VPN file (EU-VIP 1) and it does work

The issue seems to be on EU-VIP 2 from my network, so the port is not the issue

I was looking for help with the Exploiting Active Directory room. I believe I have proper creds from a KeepPass2 locker, though when trying to use them they're not working to auth on multiple systems. I've tried to vote a reset to the room as well since I believe there is an issue with one of the VMs where it's not properly logging into the user 'trevor.local' in order to keylog the user. Is this the proper room to request assistance?
