When I try to connect to thm (from Kali or Parrot VM), I get the following error, indicating that client and server cannot negotiate AES-256-CBC (the openvpn version is 2.6). However, when trying to connect to htb it works with the same algorithm. Anyone has an idea, what I am doing wrong?

2023-03-30 20:59:48 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.

if you run that and make sure you only have the tryhackme ovpn file in said folder it will fix this error

technically the error message tells you exactly what is going wrong because of a variable in the ovpn file using an outdated syntax

@eager solstice ⬆️

[eager solstice]

OK, thank you. I think I understand the problem

[tardy bay]

anybody knows how to fix this and make it look normal?

I need it like this

[bronze vale]

@tardy bay is that your Kali machine or the TryHackMe Kali?

[tardy bay]

mine

my bad

[eager solstice]

If someone else also has the problem with the connection, this solved my problem:
https://tryhackme.com/forum/thread/62bad83cf1848200429736f3

[plush bay]

well that sed command is exactly what the vpn troubleshoot script does for you if you run it so yeah

[eager solstice]

The script did not work because it could not verify that openvpn is installed on my machine. When I ran the relevant command manually, however, I got positive reply. But thank you for your help, it set me up on the right track 🙂

[plush bay]

oh you not using a debian based distro??? yeah then it will fail

[eager solstice]

I tried Kali and Parrot, the script failed on both 😦

[plush bay]

did you forget to make the script executable???

[eager solstice]

I followed the steps in the readme, and the file even started executing. But after checking for internet connection I got the error that openvpn would not be installed

[plush bay]

ah maybe you ran it without giving it sudo permission then

[eager solstice]

I try to recreate the error

[plush bay]

just wanna know why the script failed as if it does that often it means we should fix it

[eager solstice]

Ok.. I'm an idiot.. I didn't pay attention and downloaded it with http headers. I just fixed that and now everything works perfectly fine. Sorry for wasting your time

[plush bay]

oh no problem... glad we could figure it out

[real phoenix]

umm wtf happened to the attackbox page that let you see its timer and go fullscreen

[weary spindle]

Are you referring to my-machine?

If so, it was removed.

You can boot up an attackbox in multiple rooms.

[real phoenix]

sometimes i need to log into thm on the attackbox to get task files and it automatically opens the panel and freaks out and makes the viewport real small 😦

my-machine was also good for having 2 separate browser windows over 2 monitors. so you can see the room and also fullscreen the attackbox on the other screen

[weary spindle]

You extend the Attackbox to full screen.

[exotic dove]

How can I upload a docker challenge on THM? I can only see VM and Downloadable file options

Should I like create a VM with a script inside that runs my docker file?

[zealous yoke]

you need to create & upload a VM that has the dockerfile running as a container. You can just use docker for this -- no need to script anythiung

[exotic dove]

Alright thank you a lot ⚡

There is problem in payment system in tryhackme!
Tryhackme couldn't automatically charge from my card for 3 month. Bu I have enough money for 1 month. I recently did it manually bu as a result tryhackme charge from me 8.5$ not 8$. I think I paid 13 hours late that is reason maybe

I don't check my email often, I know that after 13 hour. Is it possible that tryhackme charge for extra missing time?

attack box worked for me, but cant manage to do it with kali

[weary spindle]

Hi, please don't send another email, that won't speed things up. Also, bear in mind that it's the weekend.
Did you try reset the password with your other email?

[little ocean]

its the same email for both accounts . so when i do reset . it resets the new account

[glacial hound]

You shouldn't be able to have the same email on two accounts, are you 100% sure that you used your gmail for the first account?

[zealous pelican]

Hi any way to fix the nmap scan speed... on vpn and from attack box if you scan all ports it goes forever and every time I do status eta is further away even on T5 scans. Some multi hours

[weary spindle]

Well, I mean.

65k will take a time.

[zealous pelican]

Yes but from attack box which is on same infrastructure so no network lag. Still 2+ hours

[weary spindle]

Personally, I've never had trouble with speed.

[zealous pelican]

Been doing my scans from attack box to save on network delay but it is going crazy atm

Last two week can just do basic scans

[naive dust]

Not able to login on phone, but I think I am able to login on the computer

The captcha box.

How should my OVA be to be uploaded to THM? should it have autologin? should it have an automatic service run on system boot? I couldn't find any tutorials on that sadly

@exotic dove ⬆️ should cover the basics

[exotic dove]

Thank you :) however, sadly this doesn't help in my issue, I've already check it out and I have passed all that, it's just about the actual OVA that I am uploading, how should it be for my challenge to be up and active

I've already created a dockerfile and downloaded the image on my OVA and made it run automatically on startup, currently the OVA loads up with SSH login should I made it auto login?

There seems to be a problem with the "LocalPotato" room (https://tryhackme.com/room/localpotato). The VM won't launch in split view. I've also tried connecting to the VM and using xfreerdp to connect to the credentials available in Task 1 but it suggests that the password has expired.

Will give that a go @weary spindle - give me a sec

Looks like the same issue with the password being expired... I guess that would perhaps also explain why the Split View doesn't work too?!

[weary spindle]

The split screen machine is loading for me.

[deep cradle]

Yes - it says it is loading but do you get a desktop?

After waiting for the machine to fire up on my end it says it can't connect....

[weary spindle]

Nah, it fails everytime.

[deep cradle]

Ok - so perhaps this is something that the room creator has to fix? If so how does one log this correctly?

[weary spindle]

It's a THM room, I've posted in a channel they will see, however a good place to post this sort of stuff is #room-bugs

[deep cradle]

Ok - I'll post in there - thanks @weary spindle appreciate your help confirming it wasn't just an issue on my end 👍

Hi everyone! Who is master of linux?!
I really need help
I installed terminator then I uninstall gnome-terminal, but after that when I right click on mouse "Open in terminal" option is disappeared. I need that option but I don't want to install gnome-terminal again because gnome-terminal doesn't support split view. Is there any possible way?

[sonic aurora]

sorry

[deep cradle]

Does something like this link help @fiery flame - https://yll0620.medium.com/useful-packages-tools-e9964127606f

Looks like you will need to manually add the action to open in terminator to the context menus

There are other tools to add actions to context menus like Nautilus too: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1033266/how-to-get-terminator-to-context-menu-in-18-04

[fiery flame]

Today is not my lucky day😕 After searching of 2 hour I found answer but there is another problem my pc is kali linux and this solution only for ubuntu users maybe

Because I can not find file managers action for kali

[deep cradle]

@fiery flame - File Managers Action and Nautilus look like third-party add-ons so you would need to install them. I'm afraid I have no experience of making these sorts of modifications. I just use the standard terminal on my kali

[fiery flame]

Yes I was searched to install way of file managers action even I asked from chatGPT but all of the options did not work

I think there is no file managers action for kali

[deep cradle]

Have you ever used something like tmux? If you want a "richer" terminal experience in gnome-terminal then I'd say this might help

but it depends what you are after...

There is a good room on TryHackMe about tmux though.... let me dig out the link

Hi i am trying to open http://MACHINE_IP/robots.txt on attack box but it is continuously giving page not found error

[weary spindle]

Are you using "machine_ip" ?

[crimson crown]

yes same url mentioned in the content

[weary spindle]

you need to start the machine in the task.

[crimson crown]

I did that clicked on start machine and then came back and tried using the http://MACHINE_IP/robots.txt still same

[weary spindle]

did you wait a minute?

[crimson crown]

yes i did again still same

we are having trouble finding that site

[weary spindle]

Which room are you doing?

Do you see a box like that?

[crimson crown]

[weary spindle]

Ok.

replace machine_ip with the IP that is in that box.

[crimson crown]

ohhhh.......how stupid of me

thank u

[weary spindle]

No, it's ok.

Really, that page should have changed and reflected that.

Can you refresh the page with Ctrl and F5?

[crimson crown]

yes it shows upon refreshing

[weary spindle]

Are you on the VPN, or attackbox?

[crimson crown]

attackbox

[weary spindle]

I wonder if its because free users dont get an external network.

Try visitng that page in your host machine.

Hey guys, I have a problem with connection timeout on attackbox (subscribed) the ssh doesn't work it just timeouts and pings just leave me with blank space it doesn't seem to do anything

ls or any regular non connection based seem to work fine

[weary spindle]

We need more context, what are you doing?

[robust verge]

So I'm on nmap part of the begginers

I'm trying to ping address 10.10.248.30 (idk if important)

The ping doesn't go through other than showing 56 bytes of data

[weary spindle]

I don't think you need to ssh in to that machine.

[robust verge]

Fine yes

[weary spindle]

You just need to use nmap?

[robust verge]

But I tried ash

Yes

It doesn't launch

It says nmap launching and then stuck on a single like

[weary spindle]

What's your target IP?

[robust verge]

Line*

10.10.248.30

I ping google and the ping never ends for example

If I don't ctrl c it and interrupt it doesn't end

And shows results after interruption. Anything other than pinging google doesn't seem to work

Ok wait

I restarted it again it works

I think it was just bugging out for a bit there

Alright new problem so I have a task to see how many ports are open out of 5000 scanned ports. I use nmap -p1-5000 -sS 10.10.248.30 -vv -Pn and I execute it but it doesn't show open ports at all. It shows no response which means all 5000 are considered open or filtered but I can't respond with 5000 I think it should show me open ports between 1-9.

Hi everyone, I have a question about windows privilege escalation attack vector: Unquoted Service Path. It is:
My context is the ExampleService has bin path like: c:\myprograms\A subfolder\Bsubfolder\service.exe.
When I add a reverse shell as A.exe to myprograms\A.exe, it works normally, BUT
I want to poc this problem in another way (just because I meet other case transfer shell is not so easily). I built a local .exe file from bat using iexpress, this will output the cmd whoami to c:\users\public\whoami.txt.
I can run this file directly, but move it to c:\myprograms\A.exe then restart the service, it doesn't work.
My notice is if I replace service.exe by my exe file it's also work, but not for the case I move it to c:\myprograms\A.exe
If anyone has any idea, pls help me. Thanks!

Digital ocean is really good, i use it myself, and they have a pretty cheap setup, you said that it's for school? You can get some Digital ocean credits via GitHub education, let me find that for you

https://education.github.com/pack

if you sign up to this, then wait some hours - to a day, you'll be able to get some digital ocean credits to have a machine running for free for some months

[hot ivy]

It's asking for a payment to verify your identity in DigitalOcean, 5$, 10$, 20$ for verifying the account
So is this mandatory to verify it using money? ☠️

[pastel tinsel]

you'll get the money back

[hot ivy]

it isn't mentioned in the website right, like the payment will be refunded

[pastel tinsel]

it should just be a verification pull, meaning they'll just make sure that the card is real, and then canceling the payment

[hot ivy]

oh

[zealous yoke]

yup usually it's a verification "charge" that costs like 1p and is refunded/cancelled after 24/48 hours

You are using the wrong IP address. You are using the IP address of the AttackBox which is the machine that you're accessing on the right. You want to use the IP address of the target machine (the one that you press "Start Machine" with). The IP address will display here after a minute

@fiery flame Does it connect on your host machine? (I’m assuming you’re using a VM)

[cobalt perch]

@fiery flame Did you try a different VPN server from this list?

[fiery flame]

Nope I don't have VM

[pastel tinsel]

yeah of course, it was just a double check, it looked correct in the output

[fiery flame]

Yes

[bronze vale]

Alright, there’s a chance that OpenVPN can’t communicate on port 1194 (which is the default port)

From what I can see, your country doesn’t block OpenVPN connections of any sort, but it is common for Eastern countries to block UDP VPN connections

[fiery flame]

Mmm

[bronze vale]

I’d recommend editing your local firewall to allow UDP 1194 connections (incoming and outgoing)

If the issue persists, contact your internet service provider and ask them if they block any ports or services on your router

Thank you for suggestion I will try

My attackbox that I’m using through the website keeps disconnecting me every couple of minutes, it’s when I’m using Firefox. Can anyone help?

[grand prairie]

Hello, its concerning my account information, is this the correct chanel to comment ?

[pastel tinsel]

what kind of help are you looking for, then we can say if it's here or support mail

[grand prairie]

@pastel tinsel I need help to change my name on the certificate, cos I put an fictitious name and didn't know I can get certificates. 🤦🤦🤦🤦

[pastel tinsel]

you can't change the name on already generated certificates (except with photoshop) to get a new certificate with your real name you have to make a new account and set that up, yes it sounds tedious and badly set up, but that's sadly how it is for now

[grand prairie]

@pastel tinsel my heart just broke 💔 🤣😂 you know any good program which makes it look like original?

[autumn hawk]

Hey folks! I am a bit confused. I am trying the first assignment in the Intro to offensive security right now, and using openvpn, which seems to be connected correctly, i can't see to open the fakebank.com site, the way the person shows in the video. Instead it just opens a page telling me fakebank.com is not for sale xD

[weary spindle]

Nooooo

Don't.

[hasty spoke]

?

Don't what?

[weary spindle]

Fakebank.com is a real website, anything you do, you will be attacking a real webite

Please use the splitscreen machine for that room.

[hasty spoke]

i won't and wasn't planning on doing so

[autumn hawk]

scrubz

[hasty spoke]

i would prefer using my own virtual machine tho, cuz its free without limitations

[autumn hawk]

it doesnt work i got the right vpn

[hasty spoke]

there is a 1 hour limit on the vm in the website no?

[weary spindle]

That machine has the wordlist needed too

This is a room, I suggest you use the split screen machine.

[hasty spoke]

again, i would only have 1 hour no?

[weary spindle]

you won't need longer than an hour.

and I don't think so for that room.

[hasty spoke]

i get that, but in the long run, won't that limit me?

[weary spindle]

As it's not an attackbox.

I thought you used a VM anyway?

[weary spindle]

What does your VPN say?

[hasty spoke]

correct, and i have setup the openvpn already

but appearantly there are assignments where you can't utilize your own vm then?

i am just trying to understand this

[weary spindle]

There is like 1%.

[hasty spoke]

thanks 🙂

[weary spindle]

This room is one of them, as the fakebank.com is used as a localhost.

so it's not the real www.fakebank.com

[autumn hawk]

cypher error

[weary spindle]

So you're not connected.

You need run this script, save it as .sh and run whilst you're trying to connect.

then you can choose a learning path, which will feature content (rooms) around that theme.

Or you can search for rooms, using keywords.

[hasty spoke]

aah gotcha thx

still really confusing to me how i can add 1 hour to the vm in the website for free when if i click on go premium it says max is 1 hour a day

[weary spindle]

I'm sorry you feel that, however I can't do anything more to help, unless you verify and show me your script errors.

[weary spindle]

No, you can only add one hour if you have less than an hour on the timer.

[hasty spoke]

i know

but the pricing page says you can only have a max of 1 hour a day with free plan

and i can actually add 1 hour it seems to work

[weary spindle]

Yes, that's for the attackbox.

The target machines are different.

[hasty spoke]

oo whats a attackbox opposed to a vm?

[weary spindle]

They're isn't a limit on them.

An Attackbox is a custom Ubuntu box.

[hasty spoke]

oo but for that i would use my own kali linux right? cuz i already setup openvpn

[weary spindle]

No, you don't need OpenVPN because it's already on their network.

[hasty spoke]

yea but i dont want to pay xD

[weary spindle]

You don't have to. 🙂

75-80% of content is free.

I use a VM, I don't use the attackbox.

[hasty spoke]

and i suppose attackbox would be if someone doesnt have a vm with for example kali themselves right?

thanks for clearing up the info! 😄

[weary spindle]

Yes, perhaps someone might not have the resources to be able to create a VM on their host system.

[autumn hawk]

I've tried to help this person, but now they're tagging random staff because they're demanding a refund because their OpevVPN isn't working.

[hasty spoke]

i dont think youre gonna get a refund with that 12 year old behaviour thats most likely violating the rules lmao

[weary spindle]

I've explained that refunds only happen via E-mail.

i will make my refund demand via email in few minutes yes, i just check for quick help before

thats clearly a joke for a big plateform like that to have a poor support effiency

htb are way better on this point of view

you are the only ones with "openvpn problem" never had that with other

I'm not staff, I'm not a mod.

I have however pinged a mod, who is also staff.

I'm not going to help you further.

[autumn hawk]

thats ok doesnt care

normally staff member should be present to help this kind of thing but no one is making that

Hello, I am having trouble connecting to the Set and Osiris boxes in the Windcorp series. They are both unreachable. I have tried redownloading my vpn file, and changing my vpn server. I have also waited 30+ minutes for Set to start up, and 10 minutes for Osiris to startup. I have no issues connecting with any other boxes, including boxes (Ra and Ra2) in the same series. I checked if they use a separate network vpn file, but they do not... not sure what else to do

they are unreachable through ping, the webpages in 80/443 do not resolve, and nmap -Pn show the ports (any port that is confirmed up in the writeups) are filtered instead of open

[weary spindle]

Did you add anything to your host file for Ra?

[topaz pumice]

yeah I still have the IP and the domain names in my hosts file, resolv.conf is just 8.8.8.8 though

[stray gorge]

is it worth hacking with kali in a virtual machine?

[topaz pumice]

this good?

[plush bay]

yes it is one of the most used ways to use kali linux so definitely yes

[plush bay]

yeah looks like it worked just as intended

[stray gorge]

with no internet card(external)

[plush bay]

well normally the virtual machine uses the host machines network card in a virtual mode

[stray gorge]

i can't use that to hack anything outside the virtual machine

[plush bay]

things on the internet??? yes you can
things on your local network??? yes you can if you use bridged mode or one of the modes that shadow don't recall the name of

[stray gorge]

bridged mode?

[stray gorge]

wait so you mean i can actully hack someone whos on my internet?

but i can't use advanced tools like wifite or whatever its called

[plush bay]

normal useage makes the virtual machine not use your local area network but its own just using your host card to reach the wider internet... one of the other modes you can set the network card usage into makes it have access to the local area network too

[stray gorge]

didn't understand

[stray gorge]

oh i understand now so there are modes?

[stray gorge]

but can't it have both the wide internet and the local internet modes at the same time?

[plush bay]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

rarely mess with those settings so dunno

also this is for tryhackme tech support which means you should not need it to have LAN access

[stray gorge]

isee so there is a mode out there in which i can hack devices on my own internet , nice

Hello, I have a problem.
I use Kali linux, connect to vpn by OpenVPN. After connecting, my IP is: 10.4.x.x but IP Machine on THM is 10.10.x.x
I can not ping from my Kali linux to machine THM.
Could you help me, please? @plush bay

[chilly pike]

please dont ping anyone asking for help 🙏 when someone can / wants to help, they will respond to you

[spring hill]

OK sir

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[zealous yoke]

Yup that's fine. 10.4.x.x is the IP address of your Kali linux on our network, the 10.10.x.x is the machine you need to hack/target

As to why it doesn't respond to ping, this is because the machine in this room is Windows - Windows does not respond to ICMP by default. If you want to verify that your VPN works correctly, visit http://10.10.10.10 or curl http://10.10.10.10/whoami in your terminal

[soft nymph]

it's showing the Room is private, but i have completed this room for free with my other account =)

[weary spindle]

The room is private.

Only people who have previously been in the room, before it was made private can view the room.

[soft nymph]

hmm that i know, i have seen it before and my question is wrong actually sorry, the only thing that i wanted to know is that, does room like this go under maintenance for change ? cause i lost many good rooms that i accessed before and made a list of but can't access now with my new account , is it that we would get the room back after certain time ? cause it helps sometimes to use THM rooms as reference apart from taking notes, so yea thefindcommand room was great, i learned the use of find mainly from here

[weary spindle]

Some rooms are made private, and replaced with newer content.

[plush bay]

yeah agree that this specific room for the find command is super useful and sad to see it marked as private but it is not up to shadow if it remains that way or not

unless some people can help shadow build a new find command room

[soft nymph]

okay

[soft nymph]

hmm only if i have enough knowledge, maybe in the future 😄

[stoic tulip]

Hi, I've just subscribed to the premium THM service (the one that says there's no setup needed) as when I tried to download the OpenVPN configuration file I got a 404 error.

I'm trying to ping a THM machine in AttackBox with my own Kali but am getting 100% packet loss.

Any help would be appreciated

[weary spindle]

You need to need to be connected to the vpn.

Try changing your server, regenerate then change back to closest server.

[stoic tulip]

So I eventually managed to do that and I received a .ovpn file that's currently on my own personal desktop (meaning not on the Kali's desktop). What next?

My Kali is a VM

[weary spindle]

You need to move the file to your vm.

[plush bay]

well you should be able to copy the contents of the ovpn file over as it is basically just a text file

unless you wanna open a shared folder into your kali vm our out to your host from the kali vm

[stoic tulip]

I'll try moving the file over to Kali
I thought the whole point of premium was that I didn't have to go through all this and everything would be done via the brower?

*Browser

[plush bay]

oh if you got a subscriber or premium you can use the attackbox for nearly everything

also known as the zero setup thingy

[glacial hound]

Hey, this article might help https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6721845-the-attackbox-explained

[stoic tulip]

I do have premium, so do I still need to go through this whole thing?
As mentioned, I can't ping the machine that I launched in AttackBox from my Kali at present

[glacial hound]

THM machine attached to a task is not the same as the Attackbox

[glacial hound]

Yes, you are using your own VM outside of the THM network, so its normal that you can't ping it, you need to connect to the network via openVPN. The Attack box is on the THM network, so if you use it you don't need to use openvpn.

The article I shared should help clarify the differences

[stoic tulip]

So it says here that I may alternatively use the VPN if I'm not a premium user (which I am)
"Alternatively, you can connect to our VPN for as long as you need with a free subscription."

I just don't really understand what are the steps I need to do and why

Sorry if this is a bit much, I'm just really lost here

[plush bay]

hit green start machine button....
hit blue start attack box button
in the split view that opens up attack the ip in the red box that poped up after clicking the green start machine button

if you never wanna mess with your own vm and the vpn

[dense bramble]

If you're using the AttackBox, you don't need to do anything, just start the AttackBox and you're ready to tackle THM rooms. Tasks will have machines attached to them that you also need to start. Those will be your target machines that you will hack from your attacking machine - the AttackBox.

If you want to use the VPN, this room should help https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn

I am a premium user, but I prefer to use the VPN and my own Kali VM

[stoic tulip]

I hit the green button and a machine launched (it says AttackBox at the top)
There was no blue button
The IP in the red box is the IP I've been saying that I'm unable to ping

[plush bay]

this is the blue start attackbox button

this is the green start target machine button

a very few rooms launch their own split view without the attackbox to help sandbox things or keep it simple.... even though shadow finds it confusing sometimes

[stoic tulip]

There is no blue button

[plush bay]

if you just hit the green one it will pop up this box in all rooms

[stoic tulip]

I can minimize split view and then it just shows me "Show split view"

[plush bay]

is there not a show split view button instead then???

ah yeah that is then a room which has its own special machine

[dense bramble]

Linux Fundamentals perhaps?

[stoic tulip]

This seems to be the opposite of "no setup required" haha

[plush bay]

?????

hit 2 start machine buttons... wait 2-3 mins..... do thingy.... done and terminate the machines

[broken bear]

I'm a subscriber, and I prefer to use my own VM - using attackbox as a subscriber vs your own VM that you host is completely a preference thing.

[plush bay]

but agree the time those machines take to start could be considered setup time

and also guess it could be a lot better explained

[stoic tulip]

Does AttackBox = start the machine in your broswer and use your own Kali environment to interact with it without anything else done?

[dense bramble]

it's either the AttackBox OR your own Kali

[halcyon ridge]

no, the attack box is NOT the machine, the attackbox is a online kali box that is already connect to the VPN

[glacial hound]

The goal isn't for you to use your VM to interact with the Attackbox, its either you use your own VM OR the attackbox, to interact with other VMs attached to tasks.

[stoic tulip]

I've just terminated the machine. I have a .ovpn file downloaded on my personal desktop (not a VM).
I have a red "Access Machines" button at the top of the page, a blue "Start AttackBox" button, and a green "Start Machine"

[glacial hound]

Attackbox = a VM you can deploy via your web browser to complete tasks/rooms (no need to connectvia open VPN, generally no need to download tools)

[plush bay]

https://tryhackme.com/room/tutorial

might help

[glacial hound]

Which room are you doing?

[stoic tulip]

Ah I see. In that case, I wouldn't really want to use the AttackBox in the first place. I was under the impression that that was the machine I was supposed to try hack

these 2 room links should help you understand how to access the target machines and why you would use the attackbox vs not

[glacial hound]

Yes

[halcyon ridge]

if you dont want to use the attackbox, yes

[stoic tulip]

Thank you. I think that's the bit I was missing out on.

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @glacial hound

[plush bay]

yes unless you use the attackbox as it is already connected to the vpn for you and therefor considered preconfigured and "no setup required"

[stoic tulip]

So now that I have the .ovpn file on my desktop, I need ot move it to my own Kali first?

[glacial hound]

Try to think of it this way, how can your VM interact with a VM on the THM network? Even if you're a subscriber, there still needs to be a way to get your machine on the same network

[halcyon ridge]

i would recommend the !vpn room to learn how to set up the VPN connection @stoic tulip

!vpn

Just like I can't interact with your pc which is connected to your WiFi, since its a private network. I would need a way into your network if I wanted my PC to interact with yours

[stoic tulip]

I've restarted the machine.
In my Kali I used sudo openvpn <FILENAME> and it eventually says "Initialization Sequence Complete"
I opened a new terminal and I still can't ping the THM machine

[halcyon ridge]

you will not be able to ping the machine from your own kali (i am 80% sure)

[stoic tulip]

???

[halcyon ridge]

i am pretty sure the VM machine will not respong to ICMP (ping) messages

[stoic tulip]

Wasn't that the whole point of using the ovpn conf file in my own Kali?

[plush bay]

windows target machines don't respond to ping....

[stoic tulip]

It's Linux

[plush bay]

yes but some rooms still use their own split views which means you can't access them from your own kali machine... mostly the ones that have files with "dangerous" malware samples

and yes this is kinda stupid and causes a lot of confusion

[dense bramble]

which room are you doing?

[stoic tulip]

I'm seriously lost

[plush bay]

hence all the questions which room you are doing

[stoic tulip]

https://tryhackme.com/room/basicpentestingjt#

[plush bay]

because some of them will only be interactable from your split view

[halcyon ridge]

it sounds like this room is a bit too advanced, i would recommend starting with something easier

[plush bay]

huh... the basic pentesting room responds to ping last shadow checked

[halcyon ridge]

ofcourse many of the things are written in the hints for what to do, but i would recomend some other rooms to maybe see why or how things are done 🙂 for example the short module: https://tryhackme.com/module/introduction-to-offensive-pentesting

[stoic tulip]

Thanks, but I'm just trying to connect to the room

[stoic tulip]

What am I doing wrong then?

[plush bay]

how you not got a headache yet is past shadow but yeah agree that you should maybe start with something else

[plush bay]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

!vpnscript

[plush bay]

download that onto your kali vm and run it in the same folder as the .ovpn file and it will tell you any connection errors

one of the possiblities is that you are killing the vpn by closing or hitting ctrl + c on the terminal window

but can't say that is it for sure

[dense bramble]

the machine does respond to ping, yeah, I just checked

[stoic tulip]

I've opened a new terminal window, haven't closed the one running the VPN

[stoic tulip]

If you're talking to me, dealing with this has been super demoralizing haha

[plush bay]

yeah fair.... and it is starting to give shadow a slight headache trying to figure out where something has gone wrong not letting you get that sweet sweet adrenaline rush from doing some hacking

[cyan cargo]

I'm having trouble connecting to the IP in the Burp Suite module. It keeps timing out when I attempt to connect to it.

[plush bay]

obviously not your fault and just problematic

[plush bay]

did you leave the burp proxy on????

[cyan cargo]

Yes, I was trying to connect to it using the built-in browser

[plush bay]

well if you leave intercept on you won't reach the website before you forward the request or turn intercept off

[cyan cargo]

Alright thank you.

[glacial hound]

@stoic tulip As most people already mentioned, you should try an easier room so you can understand the different ways you will be interacting with material on THM. if you have some free time tomorrow I'd be happy to walk you through this via voice chat.

[plush bay]

no problem

[plush bay]

that sounds like a good idea and a good offer for a nice voice chat to learn

Hi THM team, could you please check if the overpass https://tryhackme.com/room/overpass room needs an update? I think you can't get the root flag with the intended way if you use the attack box. The last step requires you to open a webserver on port 80 on the attack box, but this port is already in use by python -m websockify 80 localhost:5901 -D which s used to host the attack box session. So I think only solvable via VPN from your own VM currently

[stoic tulip]

Much appreciated, but I don't see how getting stuck on a troubleshooting issue has anything to do with the room itself as I can't even access it.
This just seems to be misunderstanding how THM works as a whole, and has no correlation to my attempts hacking the room (or lack thereof)
It'd be appreciated if you could help me resolve the issues I've been facing tomorrow (if you're willing that is)

Again - it's very much appreciated, I just need to complete this room in particular

[plush bay]

well if you are a subscriber the attackbox has an ssh option meaning you can ssh into the attackbox to attack overpass meaning you could shut down the service on port 80... but otherwise yes this is a problem and a known one at that

[glacial hound]

I think there is a correlation, but we can agree to disagree 🙂 shoot me a DM tomorrow and I'll try help you get that room going

[stoic tulip]

Thanks 👍

[coral cape]

thanks, good idea. I'm a subscriber. this seems to work. Do you know why they removed the "My machine" page? It was easier before with user/pass and public IP available on one site. Now I had to get the public IP from within the machine and add my key.

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @plush bay

[plush bay]

well there is an i info button in split view to access the same info as the my machine page

but send a feedback form from #feedback-and-ideas if you wish for my-machine back

[coral cape]

oh thanks. Guess I'm blind 😄

[plush bay]

no problem

[karmic crown]

Hey folks, how's it going? I hope you guys is doing well, look... quick question...Does anyone notice that some machines it's going been terminated when we are in of them? like when I got the shell...it pass some minutes, the machine it's terminated, and I need to restart again

Archangel and ColddBox: Easy --- it's an example of this issue that I got today and yesterday

[wooden veldt]

Hi question about Wreath, right now its broken and needs a reset but whenever I was able to run through I couldnt use sshuttle and had to use ssh local port forwards and rdp to work up to task 34. Is there something inherently wrong with this weeks iteration or am I doing something wrong?

[grave raft]

Hi, I'm trying to use the OpenVpn in kali linux on a VMWare VM but I just get this error when I open the VPN configuration file: 2023-04-06 02:48:36 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.

[weary spindle]

Are you on your home network?

[grave raft]

I'm not sure in the VM settings I set it to bridged and activated all available adapters. On my normal Pc I use wired Lan.

[weary spindle]

Are you in your house?

Don't use bridged.

[grave raft]

Yes I'm in my house, what else should i use?

[weary spindle]

Use NAT

Also, go to the link, copy the code, save the code as .sh

And run it whilst you're trying to connect.

[grave raft]

ok, I'll try it. thank you for your help👍

it says config not found in current directory, when I put in the config path like this /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf it says config not located.

[weary spindle]

Put it in the diameter directory as your thm vpn script.

(Thats what it's referring to.)

[grave raft]

oh that makes sense. Now it says tun0 interface does not exist

[weary spindle]

Are you running both scripts at the same time?

[grave raft]

I let the script try to attempt a connection automatically and now it after running the vpn script again it said Initialization Sequence Completed. But in the TryHackMe guide I still can't connect to the ip of the machine.

[weary spindle]

Did you close the script after it said sequence completed?

[grave raft]

oh yeah I did, now it works. Thank you so much
