How do I contact support, I've contacted them before using the ticketing system, but now I can't send a message, it just shows recent messages, instead of new message.

# weary spindle Is it a different question?

Yes, but there was no way to get the bot to the point to answer my question, because the question didn't exist, and after I tried once, I am no longer able to send a new message anymore, it just simply says Recent Messages.

Hi I have a weird thing that happened to me, I was doing the AOC of the day, I opened a terminal to write a command and my mouse moved by itself and closed my terminal

#

what worries me is : was it on the VM or on my own machine ?
Is it possible on the VM in the first place ?

Is there snything weird going on with VPNs right now? Figured I'd try out THM and want to use my own machine, but the OpenVPN times out whenever I try to connect

#

I use OpenVPN for my school network daily so I know it works, just the profile from THM doesnt. I've tried to refresh, regenerate, and redownload several times

weary spindle
#

What server are you using?

nova cloak
#

Tried both US-West-Regular first and then East, I'm in Colorado so pretty central between them either should work

Is there an easier way to go about accessing keyboard shortcuts besides having to click in the attackbox every single time you need to use them? In full screen I have 0 access to keyboard functions without pressing it on the monitor.

# weary spindle Like clipboard?

Yeah, but also in nano/vim I guess. Is it purposely designed to not allow the ctrl key to work unless it has been designated as set under the little side panel on the left?

on a default settings firefox window in its own full screen tab it generally works

hy, when i am making a room the first few minutes everything is fine but after a while i cant use dirb, i cant visit the sites i need to visit and i cant ssh to my room machine..

#

its a room my school made that's why I'm askin here

ivory spruce
fresh topaz
#

what do you mean by this? we do not want to defeat the purpose of it being assigned to

ivory spruce
#

Your professor assigned it to you for school work purposes. Now, he or she might want you to learn something on your own or at least consult with him or her as you deem necessary.

fresh topaz
#

it's not like i don't know what to do.. its just that my machine is to slow i can't do anything.

#

i have a test in 2 days about it so i would like to finish the room

#

and its sunday it would suprice me if he would respond

ivory spruce
#

If it's a room created by your school, I don't think THM Staff can simply check it.

fresh topaz
#

so you think the problem is on the side of my school and not on the THM room?

is there a way to view how many points are rewarded to complete a room or questions in learning rooms? I know for challenge/practice rooms you can check the scoreboard and view the points you'd get for completing the room but that's not an option for learning rooms

(network ovpn files are empty) greetings -- As part of getting started with the "breachingad" room (https://tryhackme.com/room/breachingad) I've been trying some trial and error because I can't seem to ping the DC with the attackbox .. and i generated a OVPN file for the "breachingad" network and it is generating 0 byte opvn files. I treid with a different network (wreath) and it is also geneating a zero byte ovpn file. I can successfully generate a ovpn file and get connected to VPN using "machines" from us-west-regular-1 ... so is this maintenance or a problem? As I am a new user of the "network" THM features -- user error possible, so all feedback welcome.

ivory spruce
#

Should you choose to use your own VM, you can try leaving the room, joining it again after an hour or so, generate your ovpn file.

you don't need to use the browser for that room.

you only use ssh basically for linux fundamentals part 3

For the badge, should the first and last name be entered in the Full Name section? Also, is the Full Name visible to everyone or just to me?

#

the machine just mustve been bugged or something cause it worked when i restarted it

sudden flare
#

@dusk crater hey I have been on the fundamentals, pre sec and all that too and sometimes the machines just kinda bug out, esp. if I don't do the room right away and keep it waiting or experiment around a lot and then continue to another task after a long while. so terminating and resatring machine and/or attackbox worked most of the time for me

#

just saying I think that problem, at elast for me, is quite common and not necessarily a failure on your part

I sent an email to support 6days ago but no answer yet about streak freezes, it says on website your streak freezes at 7, 30, 180 or 365 days. My streak went to zero 3 times that's -21 days to get back where I left off. on https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/7843540-streak-freeze it says
If you complete a question within 24 hours of your streak freeze activating, you will maintain your streak.

You will lose your streak if you fail to answer a question during those 24 hours.

I always answered a question within 24 hours of streak freeze activation and it shows on that "Answered This Week" tab but somehow it just went to 0 all 3 times and never to 7day streak freeze. :S

I’ve been trying to pay for premium subscription on my tryhackme account but the payment is declined and I have tried several cards for that. My PayPal isn’t working too. I even tried to buy a voucher but it isn’t working as well. I am guessing it’s partly due to my region. I will appreciate any help I can get with the payment. Thanks.

Good morning! I am struggling to successfully connect to the linux machine for Learn the Linux Fundamentals Part 1. I feel like I am missing something VERY basic here.

Long story short, I am successfully connecting to to the VPN using VM ware running Kali linux. I can ping 10.10.10.10, and I also get a proper response when I run curl 10.10.10.10/whoami in terminal.

My problem seems to be, when I am connected, and copy the IP address provided in the room, I just get an error in my web browser. "unable to connect". I suspect I am doing something totally wrong to pull up the machine.

Hey guys, I got a question: since I am loving the AOC so much and its been such a blast to go through the different challenges I was thinking of "archiving" the information for myself - would I be allowed to download the content inside the AOC site (not the answers, this would be done without being logged in) and save it for myself? this wont be redistributed, just a small "knowledgebase" for myself

weary spindle

#

I'm referring to the (right now) public information on the site - not the given answers and not any information inside of the attackboxes - basically the "text" and codesnippets on the website - so the study material

I have an issue where the ~ appears randomly in both the attackbox and any vm when I'm in the terminal. This is independent of the laptop I'm on. Also I do not touch the keyboard or laptop perse when that happens. Any idea?

weary spindle
#

Is they key stuck or dirty?

graceful flume
#

Nope, and it happens on both my laptops.

#

Also in my case that would mean both the SHIFT and the ` key would have to be stuck or dirty 🤔

Hello everyone, can you advise me what helpful material to read about "XXE (XML External Entity)",
||I reread this in the "book.hacktricks" and once again all the sections from the "OWASP Top 10" module that were presented, but why they don't work. I have not seen in the examples that tags are created in "Response", they are usually in the "Request" field.
But if you even put tags there specifically, then nothing happens, is this exactly a "easy" box?)||

Common issues if Attackbox isn't working properly:

  • Try clearing your cache and browsing data
  • Maybe you're not a subscriber. Attackbox is limited to 1 hour per day for non-subscribers.
  • Probably a connection issue

hi guys

#

I have made a private room and my friends are trying to connect to the openvpn, the can connect and they can ping the machine, but when they ssh it takes a lot of time

tight seal
warm sphinx
#

just the initial login, for me it did login

#

for some people it doesnt, takes too long time

tight seal
#

just the first exchange of keys etc can take a bit of back and forth - also depends on where they are - the machines run in the cloud and i dont know what endpoint they use or if it launches based on where u are

warm sphinx
#

hmmmm how can I make sure everything is fine in the sshd config on the server side

#

@tight seal

tight seal
#

if they getting in they should be ok - but you can also have them do a ssh name@ip -verbose (or -v , or --verbose , i forget atm) , also you can look at /var/log/secure (i think thats where ubuntu keeps the log) or even /var/log/messages - but the default sshd_conf should be ok normaly all you change their would be ports or if a user can log in with just user/pass (yes by default)

warm sphinx
#

actually some of them are not connecting

tight seal
#

hmm .. if they telnet ip 22 they get something ?

warm sphinx
#

let me try

also you can have them re-create the ovpn file , change the zone they connecting to

@smoky mist -- if you browse the other channels for the THM discord, there are some network specific channels .. with comments realted to logging in and out, plus "Hey there,
Could you try leaving the room, waiting 20-30 minutes, then rejoining it (this should put you on a new subnet) Once done, can you check if the IP has changed? If it has, then you can try downloading the config file again." -- so while I haven't successfully fixed it from my side, it's clear others are having similar experiences

  1. Can I see on the site which streak freeze I currently have?
  2. Do streak freezes from streak milestones override streak freezes from achievements? (like the 7 day from ticket event)

quick follow up: yesterday I left the "breachingad" room, deleted my attack box from the breachingad room .. and logged out .. when I logged back in today to THM then rejoined breachingad, I could see on the network diagram I was attached to a new subnet .. starting the attack box from the breachingad room created a "breachingad" interface, and everything went smoothly after that .. the takeaway for me is that this is a platform usability issue, we're not imaginging it. Also, the breaching-ad discord channel the pinned post are kind of interesting reads. hth

just a thought , and it would save THM resources , when the window pops up with a congrats when completing a room , some of those popups are in a learning path so the button for the next room is on the pop and clicking it brings one to the next room - what it does not do is terminate the box in that room forcing me to back arrow every time , annoying for me , but i can imagine the hundreds of hours of up time in the cloud for these boxes for other people who just dont bother - just a thought

mk, so how are intending to do that room from Mac anyways? Do you have the tools you need on your Mac? Most people just use VMs for the room (not that you have to do so, but it does makes things a lot easier and safer)

Given that you do have a way to complete the room on the machine, could you tell me the IP of the machine you launched so I can make sure it is reachable in general?

EU1 worked for me

eu2 is not working

gleaming flume
#

EU3 is not working currently, but all of the other servers should be fine, if it is still not working for you on EU2 then it is probably a client side issue. From a quick google search it does seem like many VPNs are blocked by ISPs in your country which could be the issue. You are making sure you are regenerating the VPN file before downloading it right?

It's not blockin issue for him: VERIFY ERROR: depth=1, error=self-signed certificate in certificate chain: CN=ChangeMe, serial=425397202556807641543660048237946304772097879576

Anyway.. thanks for your time..

gleaming flume
#

Well you can see other users connected to the vpn, but it is against TOS and also probably illegal to attack other users and THM is monitoring the networks so that stuff doesn't really happen.

THM know when somebody scans another users tun0

It's all recorded.

I've mentioned to staff anyway.

hello guys

How does the discount work?

You are not refunded for the first month, but you do get your money back.

For the annual discount it will look something like this:

First payment: $126 (£108)

Second payment: $75.60 (£64.80)

Any payments after that: $100.80 (£86.40) Est.

#

guys i am not understanding this

weary spindle
#

You'll get double discount on your second year of subscribing.

olive rune
#

can anyone explain, if i am buying the annual subscription, why there is second payment?

#

i will only buy for 1 year

weary spindle
#

Yeah, and after that year runs out, you'll get another year for the second price.

olive rune
#

so monthly is better right, if i take for only 1 year

weary spindle
#

No, because you pay more.

olive rune
#

because i will also get the student discount , and don't have to wait for the discount

#

for another year

weary spindle
#

This is better for support to discuss with yourself.

#

They will be in a much better position to answer your query.

olive rune
#

they don't reply

#

i email them

They're very busy at this time of year.

So , I connected my openvpn to ip and started doing KOTH

#

But I can't see the web page on my browser

#

I can connect and scan and do other stuff but I can't see the site

not sure all koth machines have an web server on port 80... but nmap would tell you that

#

possible it is the MTU problem

lost relic
#

No I have faced this problem before

#

It's same for all machines

#

Even tho let's me try this

plush bay
#

yeah then check the troubleshoot script

lost relic
#

Okay

lost relic
#

Is it VPN config file ?

plush bay
#

yuup the ovpn file

#

it would find it itself if you placed the script in the same folder as the ovpn file

lost relic
#

Ok

lost relic
#

Same issue

plush bay
#

what does the script tell youj????

lost relic
#

Happy hacking

#

Jk

#

It said everything is ok

lost relic
plush bay
#

oh...

#

well dunno then

#

just maybe setting the mtu manually to 1200 might help but doubt it if the script says everything is okay

lost relic
#

I should try that

plush bay
#

sudo ifconfig tun0 mtu 1200

lost relic
#

Not working

#

I want to play KOTH 😭

#

What do I do ? ☹️

I have another question. If we are using OpenVPN to connect to THM network, can we access Attackbox terminal by any method?

this is assuming you can't run your own kali linux vm and use that instead

Speaking of Linux distribution which one is better for someone who doesn't have prior experience using it Kali or Ubuntu or any other?

Im not sure if this is the right place or I need to be in #room-help or smth, but its more of a general question. I have access to a VM so I dont need to use an attackbox. Im going with the example of https://tryhackme.com/room/threatinteltools but it is applicable in other circumstances. In this room, we have emails that we need to analyse. One of the tools given is Phishtools, which is a tool on the internet. This machine does not have access to the internet (mentioned in the description), and it is not required to use this tool to finish the room. Is it possible to get the files or something on my VM, so I can analyse them using Phishtools?

So basically my question is, how can I access things such as files that are on a VM from THM, so I can use them with tools on my own machine. Please tag me in the response.
