You clearly haven't
but it wont open
Uh-oh! As a free user, you can only deploy 2 machines at a time (terminate the instance in linuxfundamentalspart1 first). Subscribe to remove this limit.
this
That error message is telling you have a machine active.
It doesn't appear if you don't have any running
You need to verify, by going to #bot-commands and typing !docs verify
No we cannot, you can terminate all machines if you wish to.
bro i have only 1 hour a day
LOL
Uh-oh! Non-subscribed user can only deploy the free AttackBox for 1 hour a day. Subscribe for unlimited access.
You only have one hour on the attackbox.
why
thanks mate got it
Gave +1 Rep to @marsh magnet
You need to subscribe to have unlimited access to the AttackBox
Because it's hosted on amazons servers and this costs money. If you subscribe you can use it as much as you want.
If you want to access without it, make your own VM and connect via OpenVPN
no i dont buy it
if you want a work around use your own VM and connect to THMs openVPN network
ok whatever
i go guys
If you are gonna be rude, no one will help you.
We are volunteers here, we aren't paid
^
Now if you wish to terminate all machines.
Press F12 on TryHackMe's page.
Paste this script in and press enter (this will terminate all active room machines)
.then((r) => r.json())
.then((vms) =>
vms.forEach((vm) => {
if (vm.roomId === "kali") {
return;
}
fetch("/api/vm/terminate", {
method: "POST",
body: JSON.stringify({ code: vm.roomId }),
headers: {
"csrf-token": csrfToken,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
});
})

hi all, is there a problem with caseb4dm755 - the room VM says failed to connect to server, has done for couple of days
I am also having a problem with the B4DM755 VM, it's connecting to a linux box and doesn't have the file
Just lost all my 240++ days streaks, submitted ticket with support this morning and I felt like THM should implement a warning/alerts system as well as pause function (limited days). Good run but at this point I felt like not probably not worth continuing anymore, lol π
it takes up to 3 days. so be patient π
Hello, I would like to know where I can find the AttackBox root password when I do not use browser AttackBox but OpenVPN connection. I get the IP, but no other info. I need this to scp files from machines I am attacking.
When you have the attackbox started in split view, at the bottom of the screen there should be an info button, there you can get the password
Hello question for your legends - can anyone create a free room that has an AD network? Or is it limited to a single box? Such as a single vulnerable Linux machine.
Networks can only be created by THM staff
If you're using OpenVPN then you'd be using your own machine, you would know your password
Great thanks.
Gave +1 Rep to @dense bramble
Can I upload multiple non-connected linux boxes in one room?
Hi thanks for the answer, but I do not use my browser, but a Kali VM with VPN connection. There is no info button there. Is there a way to get the password ? Thanks

Man!!! you are right π
sorry for the silly question....
no worries, I can understand the confusion
Hey. I am new to tryhackme and I have a Redeem valid code from my THM notification, but when trying to use it, it says invalid ? @tryhac

Getting this error when running thm-troublehsoot script
i just ran openvpn after running the script and it says it worked. It reads "Initialization Sequence Completed"
Update: didn't seem to be working after connecting and running nmap on a target machine
Can you ping 10.10.10.10?
Hey sorry for the late reply I had stepped away from my machine. I was able to ping my tun0 IP and the target machine and got replies. I didn't try 10.10.10.10
Well if you got reply from target machine means you were successfully connected to vpn
For the nmap scan
Give some time to load server after starting machine
Hi, I don't know if someone has ever had this problem but I can't access rooms through my VPN (tried 3 different networks)... Tryhackme say that I am connected
Thanks. I'll give this a try once I'm back to my machine
Gave +1 Rep to @finite aurora
Same thing
Can you ping 10.10.10.10 after connecting to vpn?
nope
can you post a screenshot of the terminal you use to connect?
So you're connecting to the THM network on your phone? can you browse to http://10.10.10.10/whoami
hello
anyone having issues connecting to machines after VPN connection was made?
!vpnscript
use the script above to troubleshoot your VPN issue
I'm still unable to connect
getting this error while on a machine
Troubleshooting was successful but still facing issue
Try sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1500 then check again if you still have that issue
otherwise it might be from the machine itself, try to restart it
If you're using the VPN, why are you using the attackbox?
Because with vpn Iβm unable to connect to machines
how do i stop a machine
on the website it doesnt dislpay the machine running
ok going to the website on a diff device somehow worked
not my phone, it's macOS
Question regarding firmware encryption: I wanted to do some testing on one of my home cameras to see if I could get its firmware. I managed to find the firmware online, however after running it through binwalk, the contents are fully encrypted, additionally the linux 'file' command can't seem to figure out their file types. Tried running it through a few different programs but to no luck.
I suspect it might be a custom / obscure encoding method, tried doing research on this and I can't figure out how I should move forwards.
It's been two + weeks since I emailed THM support about verifying my student email. Haven't gotten any response. What's going on with you guys?
red team capstone has been during this last few weeks.. meaning lots of prices and handling of that for the entire tryhackme staff team
So normal, yet important, inquiries are put off? When will they respond? I think making an announcement explaining the delay would be most appropriate. I get messages from Jabba who offers help but consistently fails to follow up when I respond.
shadow dunno they are just relaying the info that shadow has
Do you work for THM?
no shadow is not an employee of tryhackme and does not get paid by them... though shadow helps test some of the newer rooms as a room tester... but that is a voluntary postition and task
I don't think an event would explain why they're not responding. Let's hear from THM staff directly.
Hiya, I am the spokesperson for TryHackMe support.
We recently held the Red Team Capstone event which led to an influx of queries.
This has resulted in support delay being between 5-7 days.
Please avoid being rude to community members. It may not be intentional on your part but Shadow was trying to help and you shrugged them off.
Furthermore, all users receive the same level of support.
Although we may prioritise certain queries, 90% of queries are kept in the same queue order.
If you continue to email, you will be pushed to the end of the queue. This is not a choice we have made, it is how the ticketing system is setup:)
thanks for your input @bronze vale
Gave +1 Rep to @bronze vale
was not sure how far the backlog was and felt like shadow could do nothing more then wait for thm staff to respond
Hmm. It seems that I've been "shrugged off" as my query has been delayed by 2 weeks. Would be happy to hear why that's the case.
DM me your email Address and Iβll take a look when I wake up
Just sent
Can anybody point me to a reference, either docs or YouTube or anything, to show me how to get a box to work with VNC in-browser when creating a room?
Are you pressing enter 2 times after entering the host header?
You can't, that's only available for in-house rooms π
has anyone else been having issues with connecting to the active directory networks? i keep getting a repeated connection reset. restarting... error. tried running the troubleshooting script but that didn't seem to fix it
Nope. Let me do that.
Hi guys, im trying to use pritunl and start my openvpn connection but getting a "connecting" and nothing else, could someone help me please?
Fixed, Pritunl was the issue
I am trying to connect to my machine using openvpn but I keep getting "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT". How to fix this? (Win 11, openvpn v3)
Anyone know what's the issue, why every program inside my VM give me message as "not responding" and give me two choices whether to "quit" or "wait" but some programs open without this message but take a lot of time to open.
is anybody else experiencing disconnects from boxes?
it worked, thanks!

I was unable to subscribe tryhackme, transaction is keep getting declined from India any solution?
India usually block subscriptions, please contact your bank to confirm
interesting... did not know that
I contacted them and it keeps getting declined even though international transactions are on. I also tried using PayPal but no positive result.
Yes, it will keep on declining if automatic collection is blocked
What did they say when you contacted them?
Hi, could you please be more specific? What problem are you having? WIth which machines? Thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @magic vortex
i have tried diffrent rooms
the machine web page is just keep loading
iam in owasp 2021 room
Can you share URL, the task/question and screenshots? I will have a look
its just keep loading
the machines were working fine today early
but now they are like this
By they, do you mean multiple VMs in different rooms?
Can you share another example? Are you using the Attackbox or your VM with OpenVPN?
Hi, I keep getting this error whenever i try to connect any idea how to fix it?
I'm using linux mint.
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in SamSem.ovpn:14: data-ciphers (2.4.7)
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
i think this will solve ur problem
i will run bounty hacker room machine
Have you tried restarting the machine? Also, is your OpenVPN connection stable?
yes its
yes i have done a reboot
nothing changed
i even deleted ovpn files and downloaded diffrent ones
but still same
this for bounty hacker page
this sounds like you are using an ancient version of the openvpn binary... as current branch is on 2.6 but yours seem to be 2.4
should i add the quote as it is in my ovpn file?
just copy paste on ur terminal
in the same directory location of your ovpn file
I can open the website for the OWASP room without any issues, so the machine doesn't seem to be the problem. I can also access it with the IP in your screenshot. Is there anything that could be messing with your connection? Another VPN? Or multiple Openvpn connections
i have no idea
i will check if there is multiple vpns
only tun0
no others
i will try to connect as hotspot from my mobile data
Ah, Scrubz might know ^^
This isn't great advice, you should advise them to use the troubleshoot script instead
I reinstalled openvpn but i'm still getting the same error
What's up?
didn't worked π¦
i have used this on this error on my time and it worked thats why i gave it to him
@glacial hound it seems iam having something wrong with my connection
thank you for help anyway
just to confirm.. if you run openvpn --version what is the output???
Is it working with your hotspot?
yeah thank you for ur time
Gave +1 Rep to @glacial hound
2.4.7
No problemo, happy hacking
Yeah, it it will change all the openvpn files in that directory.
the entire output please....
it was working on my wifi connection and now its not i wonder why
yeah that if he had other files
I did some changes last time when i had the same error
but now i don't remember what exactly i changed last time
data-chiphers to cipher
i think if u just update ur openvpn it will fix it
it sounds like said mint install does not have the newest version in the repos
yeah π¦
which fair but still weird when kali has it updated to the 2.6 branch
eeeeeee π¦
Could be since mint uses Synaptic?
cant just download the deb file from the open vpn site?
yes but generally you should not circumvent your package manager as it tends to cause breakages down the line
ohh
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
iam not that much familiar with mint so its nice to know some stuff about it
but yeah if you can't update openvpn... which seems like you can't samsem
you should be able to replace data-chiphers with cipher in your openvpn file to make it work again
data-ciphers AES-256-CBC
my ovpn has this cipher
that's the issue
i.e doing the reverse of what is commonly needed
oi
already tried
used ciphers data-ciphers
data-ciphers-fallback as well
just cipher
cipher not ciphers
i,.e no s at the end
why the meeps does shadow remember this syntax????
last time I commented out the given ciphers and changed it another cipher
that's what i couldnt remember
Okay, but can you try what Shadow just recommended?
Finally worked lol
just an s was giving me all the headache damn !!!!
no problem and glad we could get it working
oor well big problem technically
maybe this is a nice bit of learning that using a kali linux vm might give you less headaches in the future
THanks alot
I'm using mint as main OS running directly on my system.
Sometimes it do gives me error so i spend time to figure that out
But i take it as a way of learning and still keep using mint
Hey i'm unable to connect to the Breachingad VPN network , Please help

Anyone please help

I tried connecting via Attack Box as well and still not able to ping the machine IPs
Hay.
For the breaching VPN.
You need to nano the file and change the file from

but for the people that need to change it for it to work it works nearly always

Hi everyone,
I have registed for try hack me, and can log in on my mobile device but am unable to log in via my PC. first i kept getting capcha failed messages, eventually it said i was locked out for 5 minutes and despite it being over 24 hours, resetting browser, and resetting computer, that message won't go away and I am unable to log in. I really would love to get started learning about cyber security, perhaps this is a good lesson for me to learn? why is this happening and how do I get past it?
try to delete browser auto-fill entries or edit so that it inserts your email as the login username
For captcha check network.http.sendRefererHeader and privacy.trackingprotection.enabled in about:config if firefox-based, turn first one on and second one off and see if problem still happens

is it possible to se windows remote desktop to access the windows vm's on THM? I have tried connecting with the username and the machine ip with openvpn running and still can't access it through rdp. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Yes, you need to put the VPN on the Windows device though, if this is your host, I don't suggest thing, however.
Do I have to wait for my month-to-month subscription to run out before I can input a subscription voucher?
Hello! I have a problem with my full name on tryhackme. I cannot add the β-β character, and the certificates appear wrong. Can someone help me please?
Yes.
You can't change your name on certs you've generated.
Then how do I add the - character in my name? It is not saving it
The - can't be used in the name.
I have changed my discord account and now when i try to verify with my new discord account it say's :** Sorry this token is already used by someone.**
have you ever registered your thm token with a different discord account?
Yup , but I delete the account
is it possible at all to DM me from that account? Failing that, please DM me the THM token
The machine in Mobile Malware Analysis room is lagging. I tried both RDP and Attackbox, both ways it's the same. Pls help...
is there a way to reset all rooms for an account ?
i did some rooms but never took notes... so i want to start from scratch
but not create an account
No, you'll need to do it single room at a time.
That makes it harder π
it's part of the challenge 
you could probably speed it up with burp.
You can do it as you redo each room; you will need to manually go into each room anyways, so it isn't that hard ^^
Hey How many of the THM Network contains certificate on completion ?
But then i wont know if i reset the room already once or not , id rather get a clean slate and work from there
Pretty sure it's just Throwback, the others get you badges
The room still marks as completed if you reset it.
You could use the save feature or keep track on a spreadsheet. Or you can create a new account?
Is there a possibility of having a certificate name reset? I generated a certificate some time ago with the wrong name and would like to use my government name there if possible.
There isn't.
You can't regen certs to change name.
Was hoping it might've been possible with the assistance of a staff member, welp, guess it is what it is.
Could always use photoshop
Well, don't really like that "solution". Just gonna have to deal with the different name there.

I think it refers to this part.
oh alright, i just watched a video and found this and thought it was something like this lol
I'm sure that's rows.
oh god, i messed stuff up. im sorry
also the box kinda stopped working
any way to restart it without terminating
No, you'll need to terminate it.
No, it will add an hour, but it can be bugged and you'll need to refresh to see the "true" time.
3 weeks since I sent an email to Tryhackme support and haven't received a response.
It's very rare support misses an E-mail.
Have you tried sending a follow up?
Multiple times. They sent an email saying they would respond about a 2 weeks ago, but they never followed up.
All I can suggest is another follow up
Well, I'm posting here in hopes someone from THM/support will notice. @bronze vale said he'd follow up. π€·ββοΈ
DM me your email Address please
I'll DM it to you again.
Alright, please be nice :)
It seems that there are issues with the GUI versions of OpenVPN connecting to the TryHackMe infrastructure.
MacOS/ Linux
Please ensure you are not using the OpenVPN GUI or Network Manager.
Use the command-line interface to connect to the OpenVPN service.
If you are on MacOS, you may need to use Homebrew to install OpenVPN; brew install openvpn
If you are on Linux, please use your default package manager. For Ubuntu it is apt, sudo apt install openvpn.
Windows
If you are on Windows, you unfortunately do not have any options on Windows itself. All I can suggest is:
- Install a Linux Virtual Machine and connect that way
- Use the AttackBox
WSL/2
Support usually will not help with WSL as it is known for having routing issues. We will ask you to install a Virtual Machine properly through VMware or Virtual Box.
Although it does work, it is not something support can advise on and is not recommended for beginners.
We also cannot say whether the issue with WSL is related to the current OpenVPN problems or just normal WSL routing issues.

I'm having trouble opening labs via my Kali VM. It shows I'm connected on the access page and ifconfig shows that the IP of tun1 matches the internal virtual IP address. When I run sudo openvpn [filename] it stops at a process called Protocol options: explicit-exit-notify 3 - is this normal? Any help would be appreciated.
that shouldn't matter - if it's not returning to terminal when you run the command, it shouldn't be erroring out
what's the response when you run curl http://10.10.10.10/whoami ?
When I run that it doesn't return a response
after sometime, it returned the IP that matches the internal virtual IP
is it normal to take so long?
It appears that I'm able to connect to labs if I don't receive a 'time-out' message, but the loading time is very slow compared to when I access it on my normal computer browser.
Also, is it possible to access the labs outside THM browser?
you can use local Kali Linux. if that is what you refer to
if you use THM browser kali linux thne you do not need to use .ovpn file to connect. if i understand you issue. .ovpn file is used when you using local kali linux
!docs verify
so that you can send pics
I'd like to use a local kali linux machine since it seems it'll be easier for some labs/tasks.
if you use local kali then you need .ovpn file that you download from thm site. if you use in browser kali that thm provide as attacking machine then you don't
I'm aware. I'm connected via ovpn atm, but the labs are loading in my local machine and/or they load very slowly.
you sub or using free? subs have a bit more resources
Sub
you using kali linux in VM locally ?
yup
how much resources you did give to that VM?
8 gb ram, enough space
8gb to kali VM? and how much is you host machine ?
It's not a cpu, ram issue. The connection to the labs via my local kali machine is what's wrong. If I open the labs in THM's attack box it's fine.
!vpnscript
might help
ok
just a quick question to consider.. does your country block vpn:s as that would make it impossible to use your own local kali instance
no
Can someone please help me connect OPENVPN with tryhackme

Good morning!
I'm having trouble with the vpn connection when using my phone.
I have nethunter installed and would like to complete some ctfs using it. I have downloaded the same exact vpn file that I use on my laptop to connect to tryhackme, and the connection seems to work, even my connection status is green and active on tryhackme.
But in reality, I can't access any machine on the network
I tried to access http://10.10.10.10 and it didn't work also
Would really appreciate if anybody could help
Not sure if VPN problems such as that are within scope

Are you referring to the script below?

Failure to connect to the VPN can usually be solved by one of the following options:
-Regenerating your OpenVPN config on the TryHackMe access page (https://tryhackme.com/access)
-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.

i got my results back, sorry for the delay:
[+] Connecting....
[+] Connection Process completed successfully!
[+] tun0 IP is in the correct range
[+] Only one instance of OpenVPN is running
[+] 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
?????
That wasn't for you. I was continuing my conversation for support to my issue
Set MTU value to 1200 or 1500
Try changing your server to a different region and download new configuration. And make sure to check there is no other vpn running background. By using
ps aux | grep ovpn and run sudo killall ovpn and try to reconnect again.
That it says it failed at 1000 so 1200 would be too high
Oh okay π. Got it
true, i tried changing it to that value but it didnt work either
the way I found to change it is by adding the line: "mssfix 1160" to my configuration file
is that correct?
Set it on the adapter maybe?
Can you show the output from the openvpn command where you're connecting/connected please?
of course:
2023-06-18 13:36:47 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.
2023-06-18 13:36:47 Note: cipher 'AES-256-CBC' in --data-ciphers is not supported by ovpn-dco, disabling data channel offload.

If you follow those steps it'll let you post images
No that's fine, it just may help in future
I can't see anything pbviously wrong aside from the MTU on tun0 which apparently fails at below 1000
Are you connected on another device also?
nope... I also tried to ping google using "ping -M do -s 1200 -c 1 google.com" and I received a packet back successfully
so it seems an mtu of 1200 would work fine
don't know why its failing
The MTU it has a problem with is the tun0 MTU
Could it be a server side issue possibly?
I have an issue
when I hit 'OK' the font does not change ever
even I hit Apply also.
hey is it possible to unlink my discord from my old tryhackme account and connect to my new one?

@eager fulcrum
is there any way I can change the name on an already generated certificate?
no, once it's generated, it cannot be changed, you could edit it with an image editor if it's important
I get what this is asking but I canβt help but thinking βerror certificate mismatchβ after a change like this lol
wrong kind of certificates lol
That would be funny/silly if there was a CA for THM course certificates who validated valid hashes vs complete courses
hey everyone
i was tryong to verify myself with !verify <my-token> , but i am getting an error that says Sorry this token is already used by someone.
what can i do for it ?
Do you have a second discord account?
ah yes.
Emailing support over this would be not be a good idea.
Website issues are done over support.
Discord issues are done on Discord.
Yes, you can ping a mod.
Or if you see one in chat ask them.
Just done DM about it.
Good to know, I was checking an old answer by a mod and they mentioned that it can be solved by email support
DM me your token please
@placid mango
anyone online?
trying to complete the task of inspecting webpage source . i fired up the virtual machine but when i try to goto the website that the course listed (https://10-10-80-64.p.thmlabs.com) it times out... in fact i cant goto any site
its like theres no internet connection on the virtual machine
If you're on the attackbox just use 10.10.80.64
Free users dont have an external network connection.
ok but what do u mean use 10.10.80.64 are you saying open that IP in the browser?
[solved]
Hi. I started getting this error when trying to connect via OpenVPN:
2023-06-19 20:23:43 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.
Should I just edit the .ovpn file and add the missing cipher? Just asking to make sure everything's fine on the server side
I just noticed there's ο»Ώο»Ώcipher AES-256-CBC in the .ovpn file. I wonder what's wrong then
sorry man ium not sure
found this THM forum thread with a fix:
https://tryhackme.com/forum/thread/62bad83cf1848200429736f3
tldr: change cipher AES-256-CBC to data-ciphers AES-256-CBC
i cant get any of the pages from the "walking an application" module to load. im connecting using VPN which was working before. but all the sudden ii cant connect to any page now. i looked back on the dashboard and theres a new URL listed (which says is updated every 2 mins) so i even tried that https://lab_web_url.p.thmlabs.com/ still not working so i tried to generate a new .ovpn file and connecte to a new vpn session.... doesnt seem to help.... any ideas?
u pdate i figured it out. i let the virtual machine session expire. ( i didnt realize you needed to keep virtual machine running if connectuing to vpn.) makes sense now

Trying to access breachad but
Can't access it from the attack box either
have you joined the network?
Try leaving the room, re entering amd refreshnig the network VPN
also why do I only have 3 days of access?
wilco
i'll do AD basics first, see if that helps
I have the same problem as @glacial bone
The DC IP is not reachable from AttackBox
@pastel tinsel : What do i do? I've left and rejoined multiple times
Please make sure you have set up what it says in the room
I created an attack box and it says just ping the DCs IP. That is not reachable from the attack box
The attack box does not seem to have the network adapter 'breachad'
How do I refresh the network VPN?
Ctrl and F5.
That wasn't for you.
However are you on a VM or the attackbox?
I created an attackbox
Is confusing me slightly.
If you used the VPN way.
You might need to edit your VPN
nano the vpn.
change
dev breachad to dev tun
If you're using a VM.
Attackbox
cat /etc/resolv.conf and see if the nameserver for THMDC is at the top.
I'm not able to download the VPN package for the room
In the access page, I don't get the breached VPN openvpn
i don't understand something on tryhackme
i dowload the vpn
so i have access to tryhackme on my kali linux VM
Do you have two discord accounts?
you need to use the CLI
!vpn
nameserver 127.0.0.53
options edns0
nope
but how can i recover the files on the the attack machine?
like all the password files?
Recover?
no but have access to
Why do you need that? to SSH in?
how can i do the activities if i have not the file to?
sorry its maybe stupid but i am lost ahaha
Some of the target machines don't need extra resources, if you do need resources, you can open an attackbox and set up a python server or scp a file to your VM over the VPN.
This seems like a bug, I'll let staff know.
ok i'm lost ahaha
h
Ok, lol.
What room are you doing?
You get kicked out after x amount of days, people don't leave rooms and if you're in the network rooms you're using up resources.
Also there seems to be an issue with downloading the VPN for brached, I've let staff know.
so, i want to practice on my lab so i download the vpn but for exemple if i want to do the hydra challenge i need to have rokyou.txt but on my lab i have not this file, but this file is on the attackbox so how can i do because without this i can not complete the challenge?
mhhh ok thx
Are you on the attackbox trying to do breachad?
it's interface is called tun0
Hey, I want to do the Active Directory Networks from my VM, however only 2 openvpn files are available for me to download. Is there any way to solve this issue?
The AttackBox also only lists the same 2 Networks
Hey! What network are you trying to do specifically? π
Enumerating AD, and I have access to Lateral Movement and Pivoting, as well as Breaching AD
Ah okay. What happens if you were to leave and re-join the room (Using the grey cog at the top-right of the room -> leave room and trying again)?
It still seems to be the same
I left both of the once I had access to as well
Understood. Before I forward this on internally:
- Just to double-check, it is only Enumerating AD that isn't showing on /access? or is it Lateral Movement & Breaching AD as well?
- Can you share the network map (or an ip address of a machine) of the rooms that aren't providing a VPN file?
- Any Network doesn't show up besides Breaching AD and Lateral Movement
- The DC? 10.200.89.101
Alright. Thanks for your help. I'll forward this onto the appropriate people internally π
Thank you
Would you mind sharing your THM username/profile please? You can DM me if you'd prefer to keep it private
Numina is my username
Yes
Alright! Thank you!
hey there, would you mind sharing your THM username/profile with me so I can forward this internally? You can DM me if you'd prefer to keep it private
Hello I am new here so if I make a mistake with rules please dont ban me, just tell me I am not following them. That being said, I have an issue with foxyproxy on the attackbox's firefox, I active burp proxy for intercept on burpsuite but the second I switch on the proxy webpages no longer load, in any way shape or form, not external pages or the ones linked to the machine, I have sent 6 tickets on THMs messenger and they insist its a Pebcak error, I am at a loss because I cant do any rooms that require burpsuite, which is a fair number of them. Please advise this has been going on a week now
Hey π no one is going to ban you for this don't worry (if it were wrong we'd just point you in the right direction). Okay, so, the problem here is that you've told Firefox on the AB to use Burp Suite as the proxy via Foxyproxy. You need to manually allow every single request in Burp Suite's interceptor once you have enabled this.
My advice would be either adding whitelists, or turning the interceptor on/off when you want to capture very specific requests (i.e. a POST to a login form)
For example, when I'm doinga room, I'd tell Foxyproxy to use Burp Suite, I'd navigate around the site of the MACHINE_IP with interceptor off. Once I come across something interesting such as a login form or w/e I'd turn interceptor on then and then start analysing the requests
When inteceptor is on, you have to manually allow every single request to continue - this could be loading a font, image, page, styling, etc. So it's best to only intercept when you actually need to. If that makes sense?
Thank you I see it now, I will play arround with whitelisting to make my life easier.
Yup π you can do that. Or just only turn on Burp Suite's Interceptor mode / Only tell foxyproxy to use Burp Suite when you actually want to inspect a request π
Can you leave and re-join the room please? This should be resolved now cc @weary spindle @pastel tinsel
got access now!
Works π
hi
I may have misunderstood something, but how do I connect to a running machine in a room? Normally by clicking on Start machine I could see the running machine immediately on the right side of the screen, or I could click on Split view at the top of the page. However, in the Investigating with ELK 101 room (https://tryhackme.com/room/investigatingwithelk101) I get the IP of the machine when I start up, the room itself has the login/password to connect, but how exactly do I access the machine?
Hello i have a problem connecting on a room i need help please
im connected but i cant ping the machine
How are you connected to OpenVPN @patent lily
Make sure you have setup your VPN connection correctly https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn
Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
If there's more than one line (that don't start with "grep" or sudo), do the following steps
Type sudo killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter
Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>
Ignore step 1 & 2
Make sure not to close the terminal after running sudo openvpn <path-to-config>, you need to keep it open for as long as you are using tryhackme
on top of that do not use & or background the process as it may kill your connection
still not working even with killall
^
Furthermore, you didn't kill the OpenVPN processes, there are now four* running
sudo killall openvpn
Yes
Now type sudo openvpn <config>
Afterwards, keep the terminal running, right click -> new tab
Send a screenshot of your openvpn output after running the command so I can check
i think killall is not working
when i ifconfig i have 4 connections
even if i let the terminal on
try sudo pkill openvpn
sorry whats the command to kill ?
^
y but when im sudo kill it is not working as u can see
sudo kill -9 <PID>
done
okay now make sure not to background your openvpn process.
Once finished with THM, just CTRL+c on the terminal that is running openvpn
Hello there, I have a quick question about subscription types. I am a student and I am able to get my student discount right now. I want to take the annual subs to get the discount but I want to change my email address in couple weeks too. Is it possible for me to get student discount then change email address from my educational one to personal one?
ty very much it is working now
Gave +1 Rep to @bronze vale
Getting 20% off your TryHackMe subscription
np, happy hacking
Thank you for the response but this article does not exactly answer my question, or am I missing something?
Gave +1 Rep to @bronze vale
What should I do if I do not have a student email or if my email address is not recognised?
I have an email address and it is recognised. I am asking, after getting the annual sub, what happens if I change my email address? Can I continue as a educational for that one year (already paid)
Oh, it might push you off the discount on your renewal date
Renewal date would be one year later if I subscribe now, right? Sorry for being an edge case but my institution is going to change my email address in couple months to another one because of masters programs. Thats why I am trying to do this kind of thing.
Yes, you won't be charged more if you change your email address after paying for your subscription

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to get a 100% discount on the site because I am a university student and I do not work yet. I live in Syria and the living and economic situation is very bad, in addition to the fact that there are no electronic payment methods at all.
I hope to get this discount because I have confidence that I will benefit greatly from it.
Question, I had to delete my old discord name due to my email addy not being able to be recovered so I created a new one. Trying to verify with my discord token in my thm profile but it's already in use. Is there a way to remove it from my old username(discord) and add it to this new one?
you'll need to ping a mod.
figured as much, I appreicate it
@torn citrus You able to help with this? or someone from thm staff?
how do i connect vm on ma wlan ?
Moderators are not employees, please see #rules
I don't see what you are trying to get at here. I have read the rules, just following what "scrubz" said as I was unsure
without any insight, im going to take a wild guess here and make an assumption you want me to ping THM staff?
What Jabba meant is that THM staff can't help with Discord admin tasks (unless they are also a mod ) π
Appreciate the clarification ole Jabba being short lol
In that case, would you or another tryhackme staff be able to associate my discord token with my new name. Bot wonβt let me do it
Staff can't (cannot) help :p
Only mods can
But some mods are also staff, not me though
the seems backwards, I asked for help from a mod. Jabba made it sound like mos(discord mods) are not the THM staff
think we got each other confused for a second
so im assuming I would need some assistance from someone who is THM staff (for the site)
He was explaining that staff can't help because of your second question "or someone from thm staff?"
Still not, discord mods can help you.
roger that
Sorry for the confusion
nah no worries, I get what your saying. just seemed like jabba was pushing me towards thm staff since I already pinged a mod and that was clearly not correct. You are saying go to mod not thm staff lol
so I await in limbo

Hello,I have created tickets to change username with no response for days and tried to create multiple tickets but to no avail. Can anything be done so the username on certificate appears as I want it to be?
once a certificate has been generated, it can no longer be changed, as for changing your username - as far as I'm aware, wait time for email support is currently 5-6 days, they will get to your ticket, they're just swamped at the moment
where can I get the email?
Thank you sir

I'm having issue on connecting to tryhackme with ssh.
When I try then I get "tryhackme@10.2.42.23: Permission denied (publickey,password)." message at the end.
Which machine are you trying to ssh into ?
Please post screenshots, I'm on mobile and can't help troubleshoot
maybe password would be "tryhackme" π
Which room are you trying to ssh in to?
Because rooms start with 10.10.xxx.xxx for their ip.
Which task?
I tried it but it didn't work.
understanding NFS
You don't need to ssh in to that machine.
But can you take a screenshot of the active machine information?
you mean attackbox?
I think, you should use the attack-machine
No.
You need to start the machine with the green start machine button.
They're on their vm.
With that note, are you on the vpn?
yes
OK
On Task 2 (Understanding NFS), you don't need to ssh any attackbox
You should see this at the top when you press the green start machine button
yes
What's the ip?
That's not the attackbox box information.
Sorry π
With that task, follow along with the room.
Use the ip on the red box
10.10.36.100
ok
hello, I cannot ssh into any machine with the vpn for over three weeks now
I have reinstalled my kali-linux vm over three times and changed the vpn server and config several times as well.
I always get a connection refused or a connection timeout, despite I can ping the machines and the ports are shown as open with nmap
and yes, when I use the attackbox, then it works, but because of my machines speed, I don't want to use it
I hope someone can help me because my voucher ends tomorrow ^^
try the vpn troubleshooting script, it usually fix the issue otherwise it might be due to MTU which I had it as well and changing it fixes the issue instantly
!vpnscript

SSH right?
yes
can you screenshot the terminal when connecting using -vvv option
Iβve seen their DMs just a little swamped atm
it gets stuck here
π
try this command in ur terminal and retry ssh
sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1500
@primal fjord
Still the same problem
try 1200 instead of 1500
Doesnβt fix it either π
can you ping 10.10.10.10 ?
I can, the machine as welll
what room?
I sent message to him but he didn't answer me. I don't know what I do
#site-support message
He will answer eventually, no worries
try to restart the machine
I hope. I can't contact anyone for two weeks. (especially mails)
Any idea why is this happening
Im using kali linux on a VM
And my openvpn version is 3.6.3
Tried everything like --data
Or --data-ciphers-fallback
have you tried using the vpn troubleshoot script?
have you tried regenerating the vpn files? changing servers?
!vpnscript
And i dont know how to vpn troubleshoot script
try this script
still there π¦

This error message means that the SSH client and the SSH server do not support the same key exchange methods. You may need to change the configuration of your SSH client or server to use a compatible method.
this article mentioned the same solution about mtu = 1500

I have been trying to reach you through my different mail accounts for 2 weeks. Although I forgot my password, your site does not send me an e-mail about it and I cannot reset my password. Despite all this, my money was taken yesterday because I was premium from my debit card. If you don't contact me for a while, I want to close my account.Please help me!
Hey, DM me your email please, and sorry for the delay. Sending multiple emails bumps your ticket to the bottom of the queue, which is why we haven't gotten to it yet
I send you a message. Can you controll it?
so is there any news about the machine page and when it might be back online?
The my-machine page was removed quite some time ago. It will not be back
oh thats weird as it only stopped working about 15 mins ago
I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood. Are you talking about a specific machine?
ahh the start machine sorry blue button
Which room are you doing?
the practical on Operating System Security
yeah ive managed to get it going again. thanks for the help
I'm glad it's working now
How do I change my THM username? I signed in with Google and I didn't know it was going to use my email as my username so I want to change that now.
you send an email to support from the email attached to your tryhackme account and they will help change it

OMG this is worked! So glad I stumbled across this tonight. Been trying to figure out what is going wrong
I send you a message, can you controll?
Hi everyone, I am trying to connect to TryHackme using openvpn server. I am unable to connect from windows or linux, when using my university campus network. I have tried IN-Regular-1, EU-VIP-1, EU-VIP-2, but I have failed all the time. I am getting TLS handshake error.
If I use my mobile phone hotspot, I am successfully connecting the tryhackme vpn server.
For argument's sake, if we consider that the network adminsitrators of our university campus, have blocked the ports used by OpenVPN, how come other vpn clients like TurboVPN (which uses OpenVPN internally), work in my college campus network without any issue?
Kindly give me some advice to solve the issue. I want to use the campus network connection only, to save my mobile data.
Thanks in advance.
I sent you a message in general.
if it's your University that is blocking the VPN, there is nothing we can do.
But Turbovpn, operavpn are running fine. i check in the internet that Turbovpn uses the openvpn technology and ports only.
Their firewall could also restrict usage of the VPN.
I'm sorry.
Your options are either speaking to your University, and ask their ICT to reach out to THM, or use the attackbox.
Can you kindly tell me which distros are supported by tryhackme (I have a subscription)? What should I stick to till I pass PNP and OSCP?
I am 40+ old computer engineer and I consider myself an intermediate Linux user. At this age with a demanding job and a family to cater to, my spare time to learn this cyber security thing is limited, hence best used for analyzing and learning the tools, rather than reading wiki pages / blogs / articles for fiddling with the configuration every now and then.
Having said that, my daily driver is a prepackaged form of Arch (Endeavour Linux) since last 3 years and before that Manjaro for again a few years. Customizing Arch-based Linux will require including the BlackArch repo and adding the tools. I am afraid the tools won't be ready to use and may require some settings, for example to use the Armitage GUI for Metasploit, you need to, do some changes in settings, for which incomplete/ contradictory knowledge can be found on many websites. For this reason, to avoid needless adventure, I want a distro which is used to pass the PNPT and OSCP exams, all tools properly setup, and that distro should be officially allowed for the PNPT and OSCP exams.
Enlightened members, please help me.
Any distro works. I know many people who use arch for accesing rooms on the site, no black arch needed. Also, pretty sure armitage is very much deprecated - its last release was in 2015
If you want the tools already installed, kali is obviously a good solution. However, most people I know use the Linux distribution their most comfortable with (ubuntu, arch, etc) - there isn't really a set, "supported by THM" one.
For example, I use ubuntu and haven't had any problems running apt install toolname
And I'm fairly sure the arch repos are massive, they should have all the tools that you might need (?)
I understand what you are trying to say, but lets say you want a list of passwords like the rockyou of kali. How do you get that for ubuntu? it is already present in kali and gets update regularly.
seclists
git clone https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists.git *
or snap install seclists
How can rockyou get updated regularly? It's a databreach, its alredy been breached - its not changing
Hey, Maybe someone has ran into this problem or may be able to help me. I am on Web Fundamentals on tryhackme and the IT Website's they provide to try and find the flags will not open on my default browser or through the firefox browser they provide through the AttackBox please help!
Hmm....I have a lot to learn. To make things easy, I think I should start with kali
Totally fine, its very convenient for beginners as everything is pre installed
when? 
Hey guys, I was wondering why some of the rooms are private and inaccessible?
You can change your username, just email support
Many reasons - they might not be ready, outdated, retired, for private use only, for buisness or edu plan
Alright, got it, thank you!
Gave +1 Rep to @glad oyster
Also, one more question, is that possible that the room is only available for subscribers? It doesn't seem similar to what I see on rooms where subscribing is required.
what does it say?
i put in a ticket for an issue about a week ago and have heard nothing yet (i sent a follow up message a couple of days ago too). is this normal?
if you send a new email it puts you on the bottom of the queue again... the wait time currently is near a week
git clone https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists.git *
???
ah--wish i had known that. thanks much
Gave +1 Rep to @plush bay
no problem
If you're going to be doing the five courses for the PNPT and get stuck somewhere, you won't be able to get official course support if you're not running Kali Linux in a VM, so that's something to keep in mind.

Is your machine a VM? And if so, do you have any personal VPN running on your host machine?
