[karmic path]

it's already the second time in a month.. maybe to make it work i just need to close the subscription and move to HackTheBox...😝

[remote stratus]

I just generated a new euro-vip1 conf file

and change cipher to data-ciphers

it works well

so something is wrong with the conf file of Wreath network

can someone help me?

[weary spindle]

you can't change servers for Wreath.

Wreath has it's own seperate VPN pack.

[tiny bolt]

yeah i think they're using the wrong config

i just tested a new wreath config and its working fine for me

i had a lot of issues with wreath last year but it was mostly fixed by rejoining the room

[remote stratus]

I change the servers because I want to see if it's the conf file or my openvpn has issues

let me generate anew config file

for Wreath

[tiny bolt]

have you tried leaving the room and rejoining?

[remote stratus]

been do that all night

let me try too

[thorny flax]

Good Morning, I am at level 5 and cant tell where I was l last, nor where to go now. The only thing that shows up is the Offensive Security

[remote stratus]

just now genereated a new conf file

left the room

joined Wreath again

started vpn again

Same result

what should I do now?

[weary spindle]

Show me a screenshot of your wreath script.

[remote stratus]

ok

Here you are

brand new file

have not changed anything

[weary spindle]

Change cipher to data-ciphers

[remote stratus]

ok

Done

Started vpn again

the error is different

[weary spindle]

Are you in your home network?

[remote stratus]

yes

[tiny bolt]

have you already tried restarting the actual vpn service itself?

i remember constantly having to rerun sudo systemctl restart openvpn

[remote stratus]

ok let me try that

[weary spindle]

Not for wreath?

[tiny bolt]

iirc thats what i was having to do

been a few months now

[weary spindle]

For the other networks, sure.

[remote stratus]

restarted the service a few times

still same issue 😦

[tiny bolt]

could i get a hand here? or am i just in limbo with the email team now?

[weary spindle]

E-mail once more please, there was a bug with the ticket system last week.

[tiny bolt]

alright

[remote stratus]

Any idea about my issue Scrubz?

seems I can't continue with Wreath tonight

Will come back tomorrow night - hope someone can help

'cause I can only study in the evening

[weary spindle]

Sorry, I'm currently in the process of rebooting my pc

[remote stratus]

np Scrubz 🙂

I will come back tomorrow night - gotta hit the sack now - 10:00PM already 🙂

[karmic crow]

yea same i had some chipher issue

also it seems like i have to disconnect and then reconnect vpn to be able to access machines

like im able to access the machine for 2 min, then i will be unable to do so, if i restart vpn then everything is ok..this loops after n minutes

[weary spindle]

Can you send a screenshot of your VPN log please.

[pure flint]

is it normal for thm vms to be really slow and have 100% cpu usage?

and taking forever to ssh to

[weary spindle]

Non subs have slower machines than subs.

[bronze vale]

Depends on what you are doing on it

[pure flint]

im not doing anything

just logged in and checked the cpu

seems to be at 100% in htop

[bronze vale]

Screenshot?

[pure flint]

don't have one rn

it was on a couple machines

from the linprivesc

most of them were at 100%

[bronze vale]

But how are you seeing the usage?

[pure flint]

do htop in the ssh shell and it says 100% cpu

[bronze vale]

Mhm, it probably spikes up when you run the command, but they aren't always given a lot of CPU power

I believe it's one core

[pure flint]

its possible that's the case too

[frank quiver]

hii guys, I'm currently trying to get a revshell on a THM machine with wsl (kali-linux) but even with the VPN ON I cannot get the revshell but where is weird is that I can ping the attacked machine. What am I missing?

[weary spindle]

Which machine are you doing?

Maybe there is an extension filter 😉

[pure flint]

one question about the KoTH, if i create my own script by myself to see every surface which may be vulnerable and then root the machine automatically from that script, is it considered cheating ?

[frank quiver]

vulnerability capstone, but I guess I get why it's happening. I'm suspecting a NAT between wsl and my PC and I don't know why but there is no translation for the netcat

[naive dust]

would anyone be able to help me unlink my discord token from the last account I had, so I can use it with this account? I deleted my last account a while back to free myself from social media for a bit, but didn't think about the discord token that was linked to it

I've been told that an admin has to do it, but was also told not to message an admin about it and not given any idea of which room I should post this in, so I'm trying this one haha

If anyone could help, thank you

[tribal burrow]

might @crystal marlin help you

[naive dust]

I forgot, no spanish. Thank you

[tribal burrow]

just wait a for answer... mods might be busy o smth

[naive dust]

[weary spindle]

WSL is not good.

Networking isn't great.

[dense bramble]

I'm guessing yes

[frank quiver]

I know haha

[naive dust]

hi is it normal that the vpn start to pause and then it resume it self just after, only when the traffic is high (for example when i use dirbuster)

[weary spindle]

Does it restart when you run dir?

[naive dust]

yeah like 1 minutes after i start dirbuster

[crystal marlin]

You can DM me about it

[weary spindle]

Looks like you have multiple tun

[naive dust]

thank you

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin

[weary spindle]

Which could be the real reason for the restarts.

Can you do ip a s ?

and count the tun* ?

[naive dust]

yep

there are 2 tun

isnt normal right ?

[winter solstice]

ps aux | grep openvpn?

[weary spindle]

No

[weary spindle]

sudo killall -9 openvpn

[winter solstice]

I see. I always kill one by one. Didn't know killall exist

[naive dust]

done

now i restart openvpn ?

[weary spindle]

Yeah, and -9 is the SIGKILL signal, so it will cancel without anything stopping it

Yes.

[naive dust]

restarted. let you know if it stopped again

[rain brook]

I am super new... so hopefully this is a simple problem for someone to solve. when I OpenVPN in I get a connection, but when I "ip addr" I show no connection to the network? I also can't ping machines when they're running.

guys is it normal that the req is starting to get lower ???

same issue with ffuf and dirbuster

[tribal burrow]

what room ?

[naive dust]

mr robot ctf

[tribal burrow]

try set -t to some number

[arctic iris]

This may be a commonly asked question, but I'm having trouble with the free tier attackbox. It doesn't allow internet connection, and so any room that requires connecting to a website doesn't work correctly. It loads the page, but cannot access js files from elsewhere on the internet, which breaks the page and makes the challenge not work correctly. Any advice?

I also have a paid subscription, which works fine, but I'm trying it out on a free account as well, and it's not working

[dense bramble]

the AttackBox just doesn't have internet on free accounts

[arctic iris]

Is there a reason for this? It breaks some of the challenges. Specifically, I'm looking at KotH, machine H1:easy.

[dense bramble]

I guess it's one of the incentives for a subscription if people want to stick to using the AttackBox, but I'd recommend having your own VM regardless of whether you're subscribed or not

[grand perch]

Encourage people to use their own resources.
Ensure people who have Internet access have a certain level of identity, authentication, and agreement to abide by platform policies.

I could anonymize myself, create a free account, and use THM resources to attack the web.
Paid accounts have a higher level of identity verification at least.

[arctic iris]

got it. ok thank you

[naive dust]

what do you mean ???

[tribal burrow]

there is way to set number of amount request

[naive dust]

ohh okok ill try this and i let you know

[lone axle]

Hi I need help with my VPN for access the BreachingAD.
My Openvpn version is 2.6.1
I use the thm troubleshooting script to fix it but didn't work.
There is my log :

2023-04-20 18:25:50 Note: --cipher is not set. OpenVPN versions before 2.5 defaulted to BF-CBC as fallback when cipher negotiation failed in this case. If you need this fallback please add '--data-ciphers-fallback BF-CBC' to your configuration and/or add BF-CBC to --data-ciphers.
2023-04-20 18:25:50 Note: cipher 'AES-256-CBC' in --data-ciphers is not supported by ovpn-dco, disabling data channel offload.
2023-04-20 18:25:51 Error: problem with tun vs. tap setting
2023-04-20 18:25:51 Exiting due to fatal error

[plush bay]

huh

well that is a new one

[woven wing]

Hello, I need help with Breaching Active Directory

[plush bay]

oh sure what do you need help with in relation to said room???

*/network

[woven wing]

I am using AttackBox, and when I get to task 4 I stop the service slapd and try the nc -lvp 389 but I cannot see traffic going through

it just stays at listening on port 389

[plush bay]

well did you double check that the ip is right???

[woven wing]

yes, I made sure that the server is pointed to my attackbox IP address

I also added a -s to specify the listening IP address and port but that didn't work either

I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong so I apologize for my n00bness :/

[plush bay]

well dunno

hitting the save or test buttons also help

[woven wing]

Yeah, thanks, tried that

[wooden sail]

Hi all, I'm on my Kali VM and connected to the VPN and can ping internal Virtual IP.
But I can't seem to ping or use nmap on the Active Machine that was created for the room. What is the possible problem here?

[woven wing]

can you traceroute?

are you pinging the fqdn or the ip?

[wooden sail]

ping and nmap on the private IP of the machine that was created for the room

But no response

[woven wing]

what happens when you traceroute, where does it stop?

[wooden sail]

First hop is
10.0.2.2 (10.0.2.2) 0.883 ms 0.301 ms 0.299 ms

Then just timeouts after

[woven wing]

is that the VPN interface?

if its not then its a routing issue

[wooden sail]

Assigned VPN IP is: 10.4.23.155

So it's not routing to the assigned VPN?

[woven wing]

you have a pc or mac?

[wooden sail]

PC

└─$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default 10.0.2.2 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0

So how do you change this then?

[woven wing]

On windows it would be something like "route add destination_network MASK subnet_mask gateway_ip metric_cost"

[wooden sail]

Can I change this in Kali or does it need to be on the host PC?

[woven wing]

I'm sorry I just realized you were on kali, I'm limited there, I'm sorry

[wooden sail]

Ah ok, good start to troubleshooting this issue though

[eager chasm]

VIP/regular VPN refusing to connect.

• Regenerated file several times.

[wooden sail]

Nice thanks. just need to add ip route entry.

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @grand perch

[grand perch]

It should auto-add the routes for you, but only if you run as root 😉

I start my VPN by running essentially "sudo ls; sudo nohup openvpn $file &; disown"

'cuz I'm fancy.

[wooden sail]

Oh, OpenVPN will do that for you?

For startup in Kali, I made a systemd service to boot OpenVPN to TryHackMe.ovpn config.
This doesn't seem to auto add to routing table, what's the recommended method for boot up running OpenVPN config?

            Description=OpenVPN service
            After=network.target
            
            [Service]
            Type=simple
            ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --config /home/kali/vpn/TryHackMe.ovpn
            
            [Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target```

[grand perch]

Often I find if you can't connect even after regenerating the VPN file, and verifying you don't have a conflicting VPN already running (check your "ip -c a" output for a tun0 adapter)

Is that you're up against a firewall that blocks OpenVPN.
But we can try to get more details

To your openvpn launch command add these flags "--verb 3 --log THM-VPN.log"

[grand perch]

I just have a shell script I run that toggles my VPN on/off

[grand perch]

openvpn --data-ciphers AES-256-CBC --verb 3 --log THM-VPN.log --config $file
(Exmaple)

It's been so long, hard to believe I used to be on of the top 3 contributors to the openvpn support mailing list ^_^;

[eager chasm]

Yeah, it just randomly threw me a different error this time so I'm rather confused what's happened. Either way - the command's hanging there in the air without any output.

[grand perch]

CTRL-C to cancel a running command.
I don't remember if enabling the --log flag redirect all to log, or tees it to a log.

If you se a second console to check you might find the output is all going into THM-VPN.log

tail -f THM-VPN.log to follow it

[eager chasm]

I ran the script again - it's complaining about MTU value.
The command you suggested - am I looking for anything specific?

2023-04-21 03:18:08 Initialization Sequence Completed
2023-04-21 03:18:08 Data Channel: cipher 'AES-256-CBC', auth 'SHA512', peer-id: 4

Wait

Why does nmap work but ping doesn't?

10 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 9919ms

This is beyond bizarre.

[grand perch]

Not bizarre at all 🙂

There are three main protocols you interact with on the IP stack.

TCP, UDP, and ICMP.

And firewall rules and network filters will allow different protocols and ports through.

The server you're testing has 3389 running ms-wbt-server, so it's a fair sign that it is a Windows server.
Which block Ping (ICMP Echo) by default.

(See current conversation in general chat for more detail 🙂 )

I'm actually surprised it scanned without the -Pn flag.

[eager chasm]

Going ack to ip -c a -> the IP shown is the one assigned by my host, THM.com still believes I'm connected though.

So it's bizarre.

There's just lo, eth0 & tun0 running.

[grand perch]

That should be correct for a system running openvpn

tun0 = tunnel adapter

lo = loopback adapter

[eager chasm]

Surely, Kali should display the openvpn IP somewhere?

Either way, I'm not sure if there was anything to fix now, or if there was, what exactly fixed it.

Thanks, I'm going to leave this conundrum for tomorrow morning at work.

https://tryhackme.com/room/alfred

The machine for reference.

[grand perch]

ip -br -c a
should show you your IP
And it should show up in the GUI at the top right.

[eager chasm]

god

dammit

i'm a donkey, a 360 moonwalk away one

"Please note that this machine does not respond to ping (ICMP) and may take a few minutes to boot up."

"does not respond to ping (ICMP)"

"not"

Yeah, I don't think there ever was anything to fix and it's the machine's windows firewall just blocking the pings.

This just goes to confirm my thesis. The more I learn about penetration testing, the less I know. I'll be off. A walk of shame. Thanks a lot and apologies for wasting your time. 😦

[grand perch]

No worries, we're all here to learn.

[karmic crow]

there is no error :(
the vpn still works and is connected (initialisation seq complete)

but the network doesnt seem to be working
as in i cant ping the machine after 2 3 min..but restarting the vpn it works..it doesnt block ping afaik
or the same goes with accessing the web page of the machine

[frank zenith]

looking for updated resources for learning pc tech 🙂

[shell kettle]

hi i've a question
I want to connect to the vpn of thm in Linux but doesnt work correctly but when I try it on my windows computer all works correctly
In fact i only can access to the ip of the room and nothing else

[glad oyster]

Well if you can connect to the IP of the room then your connected to the VPN network

[shell kettle]

yes but it doesnt work correctly

because the connection is extreamly slow and i can not acces another website

when i want to go on youtube (its an exemple) i can't

but on windows all works correctly

[weary spindle]

The vpn doesn't route your traffic.

Are you using the vpn manager or the CLI?

[remote stratus]

Hello Scrubz, I'm back with the VPN issue to Wreath network

this is a new config file - the only change is "cipher" to "data-ciphers"

[pastel tinsel]

try and update openssl

[remote stratus]

Do you have any idea why it does not work?

ok let me try

I run apt update && apt upgrade

nothing is installed

This is openssl version on my Kali box:

Is there anything else I should do?

[glad oyster]

Nano it and change it back to cipher

[remote stratus]

ok

I run it again

This is the original error

Anyone can help?

I want to finish Wreath this weekend

[remote stratus]

Gotta be afk for a while as having a call now. Will be back later.

[grand perch]

First line of the error.
Try running it again but after the config file include the flag --data-ciphers AES-256-CBC

[remote stratus]

ok if I change cipher to data-ciphers

let me do that

I change cipher to data-ciphers

this is my config file

I run it again

and face this error

has been like this since last night

but it's only Wreath network

If I use euro-vip1 VPN for example

I only need to change cipher to data-ciphers and it works

Wreath network config file still does not work 😦

Does anyone face the same issue? Any idea?

Been trying to get this work so I can finish Wreath

doing preparation for my PNPT exam

[remote stratus]

Bye guys, I'll be back tomorrow. Gotta get some sleep now 😴

[gritty oxide]

yep

I face it also

[bronze vale]

cc @weary spindle @plush bay @pastel tinsel

All VPN servers have been updated (including the networks), so this should resolve the cipher issues with OpenVPN.

After 24 hours, if users are experiencing the problem, please ask them to deselect and reselect the OpenVPN server they are using, then regenerate their configuration:)

(Only pinging you three as AFAIK you were active with helping users fix their issue, and I really appreciate all the work you have put in!)

[pastel tinsel]

sounds perfect, do we have any success rate on this? or are we guessing that it'll work 100% of the time

[bronze vale]

Well, the reason for the problem was the VPN servers weren’t inserting the right cipher, so as long as there’s no issues with cache it should be a 100% certain fix

[pastel tinsel]

good good

[gritty oxide]

so, what could i do to connect? just use new .ovpn file?

[glad oyster]

After 24 hours, if users are experiencing the problem, please ask them to deselect and reselect the OpenVPN server they are using, then regenerate their configuration:)

[gritty oxide]

ok

[pastel tinsel]

so yeah, basically, switch vpn server, regen and see if that helps

[torn burrow]

what should I do if I'm trying to connect to a network (Throwback) but the VPN file just is:

{"success":false}

I can't really change region/server as it's a network?

(I've regenerated multiple times)

My issue doesn't look like the ones above, as it only contains the {"success":false} - nothing else in the file at all

[bronze vale]

DM me your Throwback VPN file, please

[torn burrow]

Sure!

[subtle badger]

Hello, the BOSS of the SOC room has the following recommendation "It is highly recommended that you complete the Splunk 101, the BOTSv1, and the BOTSv2 Splunk rooms before attempting this room. " However the " BOTSv1" room appears as private. This is the first time I have seen a private room as a paid subscriber. Is this by design or some type of error? Thanks.

[weary spindle]

It's not an error, the error is private, due to it being old/broken/worked on.

Not all rooms will be available to you, even if you're a sub.

[subtle badger]

Good to know. thank you

thanks that will be nice

it means you pay for 10 months but your subscription lasts for a year... not technically getting the months for free

[unkempt thicket]

Ohh damnn it should be more clearly stated i guess i created a ticket nd now feel that was a dumb thing

eh jabba will probably understand and either reply with the same answer or just ignore it... probably the former

[zealous pelican]

Is there a way to get nmap scanning to work for larger port scans? If I run basic scan it takes a couple of minutes but when I do full scans I get rate limited so every few % completed the time left doubles to hours

Basic scan runs under a minute

Full scan if it takes an hour is fine but not days

[zealous pelican]

Ended up using masscan if that helps anyone with --rate 1000

Ran a whole 2 min

[eternal forum]

same problem

any other way to buy subscription

i can pay in upi

[ivory spruce]

When you do your nmap scans, what flags or arguments do you have? I learned in the PEH course by TCM that you can initially do a scan with only the -p- flag just to determine what ports are open and then do another scan with -A and listing only those open ports.

[weary spindle]

My first scan never contains -p-.

[ivory spruce]

Oh... mind sharing how do you do your scans? I've tried masscan as well, but only the basic one without flags or arguments.

[warm spindle]

Pls when you find a solution, do keep me Informed.

[weary spindle]

My first scan is just nmap -sV -sV $targetIP

[warm spindle]

I emailed the support and they said the error is from my bank and there was nothing they could do.

[eternal forum]

same problem

[warm spindle]

Thinking to try the payday virtual credit card

[ivory spruce]

I'll try this approach as well. Thanks.

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @weary spindle

[weary spindle]

Did you try your bank?

[warm spindle]

Nope

[weary spindle]

That's an avenue I'd ask too.

[warm spindle]

My bank don’t issue credit cards. So it was a debit card I used. THM only accepts credit card

[warm spindle]

The reason I didn’t contact my bank

[weary spindle]

I use debit?

[warm spindle]

Yes I used debit

[weary spindle]

Then ask your bank.

Worst case scenario they say it's not them.

[warm spindle]

Ok

[eternal forum]

i think there is a chance that some debit card work for buying

i will use visa card this time lets see if it will work or not

@bronze vale has pinged you in general.

Ah crap, sorry for the ping

[remote stratus]

Hi guys,

my VPN config file for Wreath network still does not work

I've just generated a new one

still facing the same issue - been like this for 2 days

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

[pastel tinsel]

have you tried making a new vm?

[bronze vale]

That’s a new issue, what is your network IP address @remote stratus

[pastel tinsel]

it's the same error they have gotten the last 2 days I can see 😄

[bronze vale]

And by new, I mean different

[remote stratus]

Look at the error, it’s an inline certificate error, the server has probably crashed

[remote stratus]

you ask for my Kali box home network IP address?

[bronze vale]

No your network

10.50.x

Or whatever wreath is

[remote stratus]

with the error

I cannot get an IP address from the 10.50.x network

[bronze vale]

Go to Wreath, at the top, network diagram screenshot it

[remote stratus]

ok hold on

10.200.81.x

The same Kali box can connect to other THM VPN servers OK

[lofty shuttle]

Hello, I am trying to do the Windows Fundamentals 3 room. There is an associated machine accessed with Guacamole that one can start in split view, however when the machine is done starting (per the UI that just always waits precisely 2min) the UI reports a failure to connect with Guacamole, because the target doesn't exist.

This is on Firefox. After 2 attempts I then attempted on Chrome where it works fine. Is that a known problem?
I haven't tried to see if the machine launched by Firefox was accessible with Remote Desktop.

[fresh atlas]

Hello, I have the problem, that I start a machine, where there is a webservice running on 80. I am connected sucessfully to the VPN but I can acess the site on firefox by giving it the IP. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 it starts showing the title like rick is sup4r cool but cant load the page

Can somebody help me

[weary spindle]

Maybe that is what's on the webpage?

[fresh atlas]

No I did the room before, firefox simply doesnt load the page

There is constantly the message waiting for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

[lofty shuttle]

Some Hacktivities are listed as Free but requiring a User Streak of N for Free users.
If a Free user reaches that streak, joins the room, then later loses their streak, can they still carry on and complete the already-joined room without a streak? Or do they have to maintain that streak throughout the room?

[tribal burrow]

can you explain a bit detailed ?

[lofty shuttle]

Is that addressed to me? If so I'm unsure what details to add.

[tribal burrow]

yes

[bronze vale]

Yes, if you lose the streak, you still have access to the network

Hello guys I have a problem with my certificate can please any admin or moderator contact me?

[weary spindle]

Why do you need a mod or admin for this?

It's not a discord issue.

And I suspect your cert has a spelling error, or your username inserted.

This cannot be changed by staff, once it's been generated, that's it.

[cosmic vapor]

There is no way to fix it?

[weary spindle]

Photoshop can fix it.

this flag here is causing the issue

yes, it should be data-cipher

however, this issue should have been fixed

[grave granite]

for the EU server, it's fixed ig, but still IN server vpn config file, it's the same

And if you de and reselect the IN server, it still doesn't fix the config file? Hmmm

I mean I can not connect linux I found a way to connect tryhackme's vpn but with windows. If I connect vpn through windows can I also use it kali linux which is installed in virtualbox???

hello I am new to the try hack me platform I am getting the following when trying to access the lab machine for the linux fundamentals -1 class I get a connection error, the requested connection does not exist

can anyone please suggest how can i access the lab

[dull cedar]

Are you connected to the vpn ? Also when does the error occur ? while trying to Start Machine ?

[brave cove]

@dull cedar i am not accessing the box via openvpn rather, i click on the StartMachine and the box setup happens for 90 seconds and fails to connect

is it recommended to access it via the OpenVPN

[dull cedar]

No it's not exactly that. I understand what you are trying to do. Pressing start machine starts up the Attack Machine/ Linux box you will execute the commands on. So yeah you are alright, no need for openvpn here.

I just turned on the Start Machine and it worked for me. Maybe try again ? Or try to click the view full screen button at bottom left of the Attack Machine and it will open the machine in another tab. Sometimes it also solves the connectivity problem for me.

[solar dove]

Hi there, I am trying to open a port in Kali Linux, and dont know what im doing wrong. Nothing seems to work

I tried opening with IPtables, firewalld, UFW

what on earth am I doing wrong?!?!?!

literally trying for hours

[glad oyster]

could you give some of the commands your running

how are you accessing the connection? how are you opening it? is it on a VM? cloud based machine?

[solar dove]

apologies, its a VM with a bridged adapter

first I tried using GUFW

which is UI based

one sec im loading up kali again

[glad oyster]

well if its bridged, its replicating a device on your hosts network - now how are you trying to access the connection?

[solar dove]

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4444 -j ACCEPT

[solar dove]

im trying to make a backdoor APK (demo for a school project)

[glad oyster]

@broken bear

[solar dove]

Im trying to open TCP port 4444 so I can make the handshake

[dense bramble]

Ping a mod and ask politely to have your token unlinked from your old account

[broken bear]

we don't help with schoolwork

[solar dove]

only related to TryHackMe then? this is more of a general kali linux help question regardless

its an independent study so it is not an assignment, I am doing my own work

[broken bear]

It's something you are going to turn in, it's for a school project. And, a backdoor APK would be malware. There are channels that we allow that discussion, that is not here.

This channel is specifically for tech support for THM, RE: VPN connection troubleshooting.

[solar dove]

Ok, I will ask in those. This is a question regardless for any other port as well because every port is currently closed

besides 80

[golden wigeon]

@broken bear
hi
plz unlink my old account's THM Token on this account
i want to register new THM Account

[broken bear]

Please DM me from the old discord account.

[golden wigeon]

no, see
i want to register in server with NEW THM Account
but i Can't
beacuse i registered with an deleted THM account
i want to register an New THM Account on this discord account

ok ?

can i send you a screenshot in DM ?

i sended you a screenshot
check it

[broken bear]

There is no THM account linked to this discord.

I might be able to unlink, if you can DM me your THM token so we can see which account that token is linked to

[golden wigeon]

so there is a problem with your bot
i linked an old account
i deleted that old THM account
then i leave from server
& rejoin today

[golden wigeon]

should i send U my present token ?
or old token ?

[broken bear]

Old token.

[golden wigeon]

check DM

i sended You

can you fix the problem ?

[vale storm]

thank you

@lethal estuary

there is nothing left to complete unless i really missed something. I even reset the room >_<

[lethal estuary]

Interesting

[umbral apex]

update, the vpn does not work even on the attackbox

is there any THM staff availible?

[lethal estuary]

You wouldnt use the Attackbox if youre on VPN

VPN is to use your own machine/VM

The Attackbox you just target the machine IP provided

@umbral apex

[umbral apex]

man

you will not solve it

[lethal estuary]

I would consider you checking out https://tryhackme.com/room/hello

[glad oyster]

Hi there, what issue are you having?

[umbral apex]

.

[glad oyster]

Can you try regenerate and then download it?

Also, if your using the attackbox you wont need to connect to the VPN

[lethal estuary]

In his last screenshot it appears his vpn is connected.

[umbral apex]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[lethal estuary]

Hes now trying to connect to his vpn conection with the attack box, instead of using the rooms machine ip

[umbral apex]

no i am not

wtf

[lethal estuary]

10.10.127.168 is your connection

[glad oyster]

Are you using your own VM or attack box?

Getting frustrated isn't going to help anyone

We're just trying to understand what exactly the issue is

[umbral apex]

I tried both. I am trying to connect to lateral movement room, but it is not possible threw VM (because i get 404 when i try to download VPN configuration). When i try to use the THM attack box, it is not also possible, because the route to the lateral movement room is not availible on the THM attack box.

[weary spindle]

In the attackbox you have a breachad interface.

[glad oyster]

threw VM (because i get 404 when i try to download VPN configuration
Have you try clicked the "Regenerate" button?

[lethal estuary]

Your showing connected via the VPN, (The green IP address in the upper corner). Did you generate a machine IP for the room?

[weary spindle]

It's a network.

[glad oyster]

There should be some instructions like this on how to connect in the room

[weary spindle]

The interface will be wrong.

[umbral apex]

is someone of you abble to download this configuration without getting an 404 error?

When i click download i get this

[glad oyster]

Again, have you tried regenerating it and then downloading?

[weary spindle]

You need to leave the room for 5-15 mins

Then re-join and re download.

Are you using the attackbox right now?

[umbral apex]

yes does not help. I already mentioned it

[glad oyster]

You did not mention that

[umbral apex]

i did

are you abble to download that configuration file?

[glad oyster]

Yes, instructions like that - I dont have access to that specific network because im not a subscriber so im using another network room as an example

[weary spindle]

Yes.

[weary spindle]

Yes, but for some reason the lateral room is giving him the breachad interface.

[glad oyster]

Yes, have you tried what Scrubz told you?

[umbral apex]

exactly

[glad oyster]

Hmm 🤷‍♂️

[weary spindle]

But you'd just swap out the interface name in the command.

[umbral apex]

i tried to leave and then rejoin, but i did not wait for 5-15 minutes. I will try that now

[weary spindle]

That should also give you a new subnet.

[umbral apex]

I do not understand what you mean. I need lateralmovement interface in order to complete the room

[weary spindle]

Change lateral to breachad

[glad oyster]

Your using the breachead interface, hence why it cant find the laterlmovement device

[umbral apex]

Is connecting to the breached interface solution in this case, if I need to work on lateral movement room? I solved breached 2 days ago

Yesterday the lateral movement VPN / attack box interface worked perfectly. I do not understand what happened now

[glad oyster]

What do the instructions say on the lateral movement room?

[umbral apex]

to use exactly this command which does not work

[glad oyster]

could you take a screenshot of the task instructions?

Im not a subscriber so I dont have access

[glad oyster]

Right, could you terminate your attack box - wait 5 minutes and then redeploy it from the room page?

[umbral apex]

sure

does not work

i will wait for support

[weary spindle]

The download or the attackbox?

[umbral apex]

both

[weary spindle]

Are you still on attackbox?

[umbral apex]

yes

[weary spindle]

What interface do you have?

[glad oyster]

If you started it from the room page you should have the lateralmovement interface....

[umbral apex]

lateral movement is not there. I tried to leave all rooms i was joined before, then join only to lateral movement room, but did not help aswell

[weary spindle]

So what interface is there?

[umbral apex]

thank you for help, but i think the problem is not on my side 😂

[weary spindle]

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if the email support sends you here.

[glad oyster]

cc @zealous yoke possible attack box issue?

[weary spindle]

But if you still want help, what interface do you have?

[umbral apex]

I don't thanks

i will wait

[zealous yoke]

Can you DM me the IP address of your attackbox please

[young cloud]

Can I DM you too about some tech issue too @zealous yoke ?

[regal sky]

Hello, I cant connect on rooms with openvpn on windows, someone can help me ?

Im connected on the VPN according to OpenVPN UI

My ip is 10.9.72.xx, so Im on the tryhackme network

But when I ping my room it time out

[plush bay]

is the room a windows target machine??? because if yes they generally do not respond to pings

[regal sky]

I already did a ipconfig / renew

It is the openvpn room

Cant access to the http neither

[plush bay]

are you running multiple vpns???

[regal sky]

I used to but I disabled the second one

Im have clean my host file

[plush bay]

okay try restarting the openvpn connection now without starting your other vpn

[regal sky]

mmh, same issue

verystrange

[regal sky]

Ok, I dowloaded another version of OpenVpn

And now it works

Thanks @plush bay

[dense bramble]

you need to send an email to [e-mail], typing it here doesn't do anything

[prime dirge]

Ohhhh okay thanks

[prime dirge]

And you've answer for that question or no ?

[spare laurel]

How Can i make a ticket

This happened to me couple mins ago

i think it's very weird

i looked up the ip and it was listed bad

[cursive dust]

think it might be a botnet IP going around scanning different IP's and trying to bruteforce/exploit

[empty charm]

cannot connect to VPN after kali update

[broken bear]

Most of the time, those are just paid ads. If the scan came back null, it's scammers fishing for suckers. Kind of off topic for this channel, #infosec-general would be better if you have questions about why that is.

[broken bear]

can you post a screenshot of the error?

[thick prism]

Thanks, sorry

[zenith tulip]

Hi all, is there someone who can tell me how to change my payment details? (Card expiration due in a few days)
I got an email with an url from THM but that URL has already expired so that's of no good.
I hope some one can help, and please let it not be cancel the account and create a new one, because I found that one already via the THM-bot.

[umbral apex]

Is here any support staff availible?

The lateral movement and pivoting room still does not work

[weary spindle]

Are you still getting the breachad interface inside the room?

[umbral apex]

no

Mr CMNatic recreated my lateralmovement interface, but he informed me that the lateralmovement network has been deletetd

[weary spindle]

Ok, then until Ben or somebody else comes back and says it's fixed, there is nothing we can do.

[severe meadow]

Hey, I bought a subscription two days ago but whenever I'm doing tasks in a room, I can't see any images
Is there a fix

[weary spindle]

Which room?

[severe meadow]

Steel mountain

But the issue was still there when I tried doing owasp juice shop

[trail grove]

Hello would it be possible to change my name on a certificate already generated?

[weary spindle]

It isn't. No

[weary spindle]

Which images?

[weary spindle]

The images are on img, is it possible you're in a country that blocks them?

[severe meadow]

Pretty much every image in a task
I'm unable to share screenshots in this chat for some reason

[severe meadow]

Unlikely, I've been using tryhackme since last year and this is the third time I'm getting a sub, I've never had this issue before

[weary spindle]

you'll need to verify

[weary spindle]

Is imgur blocked in your country

[severe meadow]

I don't think so
Is there a way to confirm this...

[glad oyster]

Are you using a VPN?

Or a custom DNS

[weary spindle]

Which country are you in?

[glad oyster]

I've had issues with pihole / adguard for Imgur links hence the question

[marble axle]

hello anyone has a solution to this problem

net.portswigger.devtools.client.hw: Refusing to start browser as your current configuration does not support running without sandbox

[weary spindle]

Google that error, it will tell you the fix.

[spare laurel]

..

[weary spindle]

Which room is this?

[spare laurel]

https://tryhackme.com/room/ide

[pastel tinsel]

it's just a scanner, if you're a subscriber you have access to the internet and therefore when you have a netcat listener, you're also listening to the outside, so you can get connections from outside IP's like that one, it's a scanner/scraber that scans all IPs and ports daily

[spare laurel]

who owns it tho

[pastel tinsel]

the outside, juun also told you it's not tech support

nvm, that was for some person who deleted their message, my bad

[spare laurel]

ok sorry

[pastel tinsel]

but you can't really report it, it happens to everyone and there's no way to stop it

[dull cedar]

Hey @pastel tinsel sorry to ping you but I saw you are one of the room testers. So I wanted to ask if there's any definite way to reach the support team except email as it's really slow communication.

I am facing a problem with Holo VPN for days now and tried to reach out in Discord, Forum. Got an email back 2 days later and replied to that but there's no email back yet.

[pastel tinsel]

email is the way, they are slow because they get so many emails, but if you verify your profile we can help you out

No I'm not getting the cipher/ data-cipher problem.

My problem is that the Holo Network VPN is not downloading. It goes to 404 error page when i try to Get your vpn config file. I have tried to regenerate it, left and rejoined the room and then regenerated, Left and started the network for 15 minutes then tried to download the vpn config file. But all those didn't work.

[pastel tinsel]

hmmm, yeah that might be a problem

[timber moat]

hello

im having this issue with my machines thats been there for a while now

the machines just seem to stop being interactible after a while of using them despite being perfectly connected to the vpn as well as I can actually ping them normally

but they just seem to stop working and just lag out for a whole while every single time i access them either on http or using ssh connections

[timber moat]

also one of the weird things im getting is the fact that the VPN connection page is not showing up that im connected despite actually having the new IP address on the top right of my kali taskbar as well as being able to ping the machines

likewise with the connection page no sign of connection

ive used the vpn troubleshooting script as well but no luck in that

[bronze vale]

Send a screenshot of your OpenVPN ouptut, please

[inner sphinx]

Hi Support, I have an issue. I completed the Vulnversity room (it shows 100%), but in my learning paths the room does not show as completed, which means the paths are incomplete as well. Can you help?

[broken bear]

You are connected

[timber moat]

its connected as well

[timber moat]

i know

[broken bear]

refresh the webpage

[timber moat]

i did

same issue over and over

[bronze vale]

Screenshot the webpage

[timber moat]

its the same thing no green ip address showing up

[bronze vale]

Oh

Ignore the access page

It lies

[timber moat]

likewise with the vpn page

[bronze vale]

Check whether you're connected by doing curl 10.10.10.10/whoami in your terminal

If it responds with your tun0 address, you're all good

[timber moat]

it does

maybe i am connected which is why i can access the machines (initially)

but then the machines just die out and stop responding .... i tried this on different machines and i get the same thing

[bronze vale]

Which machines

and if you're pinging them, don't, it's not reliable

[timber moat]

for example .... i did a quick test on pickle rick and the machine just die being irresponsive when i try to connect to it via reverse shell and the reverse shell just freezes

on the other hand .... that doesnt happen when i quickly tested it on the attackbox with the same reverse shell and all
