[restive goblet]

My Kali VM is you're saying?

[muted dock]

tip: sometimes it doesn't show on the access page that you are conneceted, if you deploy a machine and put the machine IP on the browser and you can load the page, that means that you are connected

[upbeat bronze]

Thank you

[muted dock]

btw where does it show that how much time you have got before you lose your streak?

[restive goblet]

I did this and it won't load.

But it says connected here

[muted dock]

make sure that you are loading the room machine IP, not your own machine IP

[fiery sentinel]

i am actually having this exact issue

[restive goblet]

I am using the room machine IP. It's still not working.

This is still showing as red but on the access page it says "connected" for internal Virtual IP Address.

I have tried redownloading multiple different configuration files from multiple different VPN servers.

[muted dock]

for me it's also showing red but I can access the room machine

have you tried another room's machine?

[restive goblet]

Yes, multiple.

I'm currently triyng to get it to connect to the "Ice" room.

I have terminated my machine and restarted it multiple times as well.

[muted dock]

do you have the premium?

[restive goblet]

Yeah

[muted dock]

the you don't need to access it via openvpn

you can just use attackbox

[restive goblet]

I am wanting to get used to using my actual kali machine or I would have just went that route.

[muted dock]

turn the openvpn off

if you are using the page kali vm

[gleaming flume]

Ignore the connected/vs not connect and the access machines stuff on the site, as scrubz said, it is not working as it should right now. Can you load 10.10.10.10 in your browser while the VPN is running?

[restive goblet]

It won't load. I am typing "10.10.10.10" in my web browser on my VM.

[fiery sentinel]

i cant even get the wreath vpn file to give me data

[gleaming flume]

Can you type ip a in your terminal (while the VPN is still on) and share that output?

[gleaming flume]

yeah it's been buggy for a while now, I'd try this #site-support message

[gleaming flume]

Looks like you have multiple VPN instances running at once. Try to run the killall openvpn command and then start the VPN up again

[fiery sentinel]

sad times:'( VIP shouldnt be this buggy

[gleaming flume]

Yeah a lot of network config files too, not really sure what's up with it

[restive goblet]

My Kali machine is also fully updated & upgraded.

[gleaming flume]

Did you do what I said and run the killall command?

There should only be one tun interface on your kali

[fiery sentinel]

yeah if you have multiple instances running of openvp youll have to kill them

otherwise kali wont know which if to put 10.10.10.10 to

[restive goblet]

Okay I killed all of them.

[gleaming flume]

Alright now you can start up the VPN again and see if it works

[restive goblet]

Try loading 10.10.10.10 in my web browser on my vm?

BOOM!

Let's freaking GO!

You all are wizards

[gleaming flume]

Woo! Very nice

[fiery sentinel]

time to wait 30 minutes to see if i can get wreath to work

[proud yew]

And still 0B when downloading now

[fiery sentinel]

same

[proud yew]

i'll just do other room first, i'll try again after 1 hr

[fiery sentinel]

ater 30 mins i rejoined, got the same subnet, waited 20 mins downloaded the config anf still same issue @cold fog is there any way we can get this fixed?

[acoustic hedge]

Got the same issue with Wreath for a couple of days now. Tried leaving/joining the room, regenerating the ovpn, but I still get an empty/0B file.

[tribal mason]

Try waiting for a day after leaving. (The subnet should change)

[exotic python]

[ivory rover]

hi in attackbox it do me this for the crsf attack:

please help me before the attackbox go awxay please

[ivory spruce]

The Attackbox really uses port 80 so we can't do anything about it unfortunately. Have you tried to use another port for the attack?

[ivory rover]

like wihch?

[tribal mason]

Whatever port you want

1234 would work. Unless you really need port 80

[ivory rover]

but the website we need to attack will correctly send me at the good port?

[tribal mason]

Which room are you trying to do?

[ivory rover]

https://tryhackme.com/room/owasptop102021#

T22

[tribal mason]

Use another port

[tribal mason]

If you specify it, yes

[ivory rover]

and the server of attacker is "localhost"?

because i dont see anywhere in text the ip or hostname of attacker

ho all good

[solid sigil]

Hey guys. I have an issue with the red team capstone network. As I am connected successfully with the vpn configuration file of the network, I still don't have access to any of the machines. It's like they are inactive or something. I have tried everything, resetting my "mailbox" with the x.x.x.250 endpoint, regenerated the vpn configuration file many times over. But still no luck. Is there a way to solve this issue?

[tawdry vortex]

Your target was 10.10.229.34. That's what was running the website.. Your attack box was 10.10.157.126 (based on your prompt in the screenshot above).. That's where you ran netcat. Your pycurl error is trying to connect to the target, when it should be trying to connect to the attack box where the listener is.

[pale umbra]

Hey guys I was messing with my new pineapple but I had left it unfinished with the ip still at the stager phase. When I went back in there was a bunch of unknown files and changes I hadn’t made. Is it possible someone took advantage of that and hijacked the signal? I’m new to this so please.. spare me lol if that’s the case and they have the MAC address of the machine is there a way I can tune it in a way where they can’t get access? Like a hard reset? Or reconfiguration?

Fell feee to message me for help

[ivory spruce]

Are you referring to WiFi Pineapple? If so, better post this in the #infosec-general or #general channels.

No worries. Your question will simply get more traction or feedback in those channels.

[ivory rover]

yes I mix all things of thé attack box ahha

[naive dust]

why do i get a white screen after i turn the machine?

only AttackBox works fine

[naive dust]

Going through the first room. And fakebank.com is not a working site.

[weary spindle]

1. it is
2. You're using the wrong machine.

fakebank

fakebank

[naive dust]

I am not using AttackBox.

[weary spindle]

you're using the split screenmachine?

[naive dust]

I am using a local VirtualBox.

[weary spindle]

Oh.

In that case you're attacking a real website.

I'd uh, stop.

[naive dust]

Do I need to use AttackBox for every room ?

Or just for the first room ?

[weary spindle]

No, but a few rooms have a sandboxed machine.

Please use the Show split view

[naive dust]

I added 1 hour. Was that wrong ?

[weary spindle]

not at all 🙂

[naive dust]

I am just worried that I might have used 1 hour of some hours that I have left. Is there any limit for how many I can add ?

[weary spindle]

6 hours. 🙂

But if you're not using the attackbox it won't matter, the machine starts (green button) can be deployed as many times as you like.

[naive dust]

Ok. I won the first game.

On my local machine - u is not a working flag.

[weary spindle]

I've advised you not to use your local machine for this room.

[naive dust]

I am already done with this room. It was quick.

I need to use "gobuster dir". Where do I download the wordlist ?

[weary spindle]

Which wordlist?

[naive dust]

I need to use a wordlist for gobuster. A website directory wordlist.

[weary spindle]

SecLists has 'em

[naive dust]

I found it. It is in usr share wordlists dirb common.txt.

Found it on kali.org tools gobuster.

How do I exclude status codes in gobuster search ?

Ok. I am misunderstanding something. Sites are configured to always respond with a specific status code.

Trying to go through the Linux Fundamentals - Part 1 with some students of mine yesterday. Ran into an issue that didn't seem present earlier in the week. When using ls command, I'm supposed to see 4 directories: Important Files, My Documents, Notes, Pictures.

Instead I'm seeing access.log, and four directories: folder1, folder2, folder3, folder4. Anyone have an idea if this is some kind of issue on the VM?

[weary spindle]

No, there is a strong chance you were in the wrong machine.

Was the machine a GUI or CLI?

[light orbit]

CLI... And actually I just figured it out. Apparently the key to finding a stupid mistake is to admit others that you haven't been able to figure it out. Total error on my part and the part of my students.

[zenith spruce]

Hey all. I'm logging off for the day. But wanted to ask quickly to see if anyone had any issues connecting via OpenVPN today? I haven't had issues in the past. Just wanted to see if it was just an issue with the network today before I bother troubleshooting later

[high stirrup]

Hey actually I'm having the same issue how did you solve that

[light orbit]

The example noted shows you what to do, but isn’t an exact replication of the files and directories available.

So you need to open each folder and find the one with the file and if you input its name, you get the correct answer.

[nova whale]

Still not working for US-East? (US-West does work, though; even after re-generating US-East)

Folders1-4 are correct. It’s just not going to match the example. I’m guessing so you have to actually do it instead of seeing the answers by just looking at the sample.

Make sense?

I'm having issues connecting to the OpenVPN to THM via Kali Linux. I've tried restarting my machine, restarting my laptop, and reinstalling the OpenVPN package (I have OpenVPN version 2.6.7). When I use ping, it works with ~50-80% packet loss, and I can access webpages.

Hello

Pre Security path, Linux Fundamentals module, Linux Fundamentals 3, Task 2

Since I cannot demonstrate with screenshots, the task says to connect to an SSH session.

In the previous Linux Fundamentals 2, connecting via SSH to the TryHackMe active machine was okay using my own environment: configuring OpenVPN and using the SSH commands were good and I could perform the activities normally.

However, in the Linux Fundamentals 3, and particularly in Task 2, the authentification is successful but the SSH connection gets stuck in the middle. Various results are given, and I will send an example.

[wraith cliff]

Yeah that’s fair

It sorta fixed it self, I assumed it was my personal connection but yeah all is good mate

Yeah I switched to us-west-vip and regenerated and it worked fine. It seems to be an issue with the ovpn file using a deprecated format

Can't connect to any server with openvpn

[proper skiff]

Hey all, I can successfully connect to THM using OpenVPN and can ping 10.10.10.10, however I cannot access the web interface of the module I'm working on (OWASP top 10, task 12). "Navigate to http://MACHINE_IP:86/console..." I'm assuming it means my given IP, but when I enter it in on the web browser it gives me a "cannot connect" error. I can ping my given IP too. Thoughts?

[broken bear]

Use the IP given when you start the VM from the task

machine_ip is not your IP or the attackbox IP

[proper skiff]

I have a feeling there should be an IP there- I did a few of the other modules last night and it gave me an IP to work with, but going back to the other modules it now says HTTP://MACHINE_IP similar to the module I'm on.

[broken bear]

There's a big green button that says START MACHINE

you'll get a banner across the top of the page that will have the VM IP and time to live. Use that IP.

omg thanks! I'm so dumb haha

[zenith spruce]

@wraith cliff @woven drum following up on yesterday's conversations. I switched to US-VIP-West which seems to be working fine

[sacred dune]

Hello, so as I verified my account, I’d like to follow up the problem yesterday

I remind: Pre Security path, Linux Fundamentals 3, Task 2

Earlier, it worked fine

Yesterday, accessing the machine with the provided IP address and credientials were not possible

Today, I tried again, accessing them was possible earlier, and now it displays the same problem again

[weary spindle]

Are you using IP 1 or 2?

[sacred dune]

1

2 is in the picture and is used as a reference

[weary spindle]

Oh!

I know you're issue.

Disconnect from the SSH.

sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200

Run that command, then re-connect to the SSH.

[sacred dune]

Few moments please

It worked! Thank you so much!

[weary spindle]

Ok.

Since this happened two seperate times.

Can you please exit the ssh and close the VNP connection.

Then sudo nano VPNfile.ovpn

ABOVE <ca> and you insert tun-mtu 1200

[sacred dune]

Okay, done

[weary spindle]

Save it.

[sacred dune]

Done

[weary spindle]

sudo systemctl restart openvpn

Then reconnect to the VPN

[sacred dune]

Done, now I shall reconnect to the SSH session again, right?

[weary spindle]

Yes 🙂

[sacred dune]

It works fine now after connecting to the SSH session, thank you so much; but if you permit me, could you please explain what we meant by defining tun’s mtu to 1200?

In other words, what is tun? Is mtu the total data size?

[weary spindle]

The packets communicated between either machine was too large on each transaction, so it some parts were being missed.

Think of it as placing a box in your letter box.

TUN is short for tunnel.

Using the MTU command, made the packets smaller so there is less sent in each transaction ensuring that they're all picked up.

Essentially, it's reducing the box to the size of the letter.

[plush bay]

tun == tunnel == interface used for vpns
mtu == max transfer unit == the largest size your packages can be while being sent through this interface
meaning if it is to large it sometimes fails for weird reasons
lowering the max size increases the amount of packages sent which help on unreliable connections

together with what scrubz said

[weary spindle]

Also if you like moving forward, you don't need to hide your active machine IP, THM can see which machines interact with which (our VPN IP is bound to our account) this will help with troubleshooting (especially by me, as I like to connect to the machine for issues like this)

That being said, it's completely up to you. 🙂

[sacred dune]

I see, my apologies 😅
Makes a lot of sense and I appreciate your explanations, so if I need to regenerate a new OpenVPN file to use for TryHackMe tasks from my own environment, I need to add the name line tun-mtu 1200 every time above <ca>, right?

[weary spindle]

Tbh, I'm not sure.

As it's an issue that can effect you, and can't.

for example, I've never needed to change my MTU size, but others have only had to change it once, without editing their main config file.

but it's a good thing to remember. 🙂

[sacred dune]

It’s all clear, thank you so much for your time for both of you to help troubleshoot the issue! If there is any further problem while using THM then I will post it in this server. Thank you so much again! 😀

[weary spindle]

No problem!

Happy hacking!

[neat vortex]

Thanks Scrubz tun-mtu 1200 in the VPN File works perfect

Something seems broken in the AWS modules - all the rooms are listed as free (not VIP, as with other sub-required rooms), but clicking through lands on the buy the AWS-package page.

VIP would be a more accurate jewel than Free
https://tryhackme.com/module/introduction-to-aws

[wind wedge]

What type of issue are you experiencing?

When you say can't start it what do you mean, what are you trying to do and what are you expecting it to do?

[topaz iron]

I cant generate the vpn as seem here

also it been resetting for 4 days now

I started paying for THM just to have access to these exact rooms and in a week it will be a month and I still havent get access to these rooms

[wind wedge]

So that happens when you try to download the vpn? I can't seem to replicate it

Have you tried a different browser or maybe trying to see if same thing happens when incognito?

[topaz iron]

better yet, I trying it in a different computer

but sure let me try with incognito

no, nothing

is just broken

[wind wedge]

Can you check the console and see if it gives you any errors there?

when trying to download it

[wind wedge]

Not sure if it could be causing it but maybe try disable your adblocker and refresh again and retry, if not then it's something to do with your account

[olive wedge]

I am trying to complete the network services track but I got stuck in the smbclient exercise, When I try to connnect using smbclient //10.10.194.206//profiles -U Anonymous I get the a prompt for a password. I tried to just click ENTER but I get the error tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

[wind wedge]

Only last thing I can think of is if you have a VPN running that might be causing it to block it or not

Have you tried leaving the room and rejoining? Should put you in a new DC

[ivory spruce]

Can you try reducing the number of forward slashes such that:

smbclient //10.10.194.206/profiles -U Anonymous

Also, you are connected to THM OpenVPN while trying to connect to the said service?

In the cog or settings button, usually there are three options - Write Ups, Reset Progress and Leave. Do you not have the said option?

Yes, leaving the room and re-joining it after 15-30 mins should move you to a different subnet as Blackout has mentioned.

[neat vortex]

In the terminal where the OpenVPN connection is open, the last line for me is "Timers: ping 5, ping restart 120". After 2-3 minutes i get "[sever] Inactivity timout (--ping-restart), restarting" and "SIGURSR1[soft,ping-restart] received, process restart" then the connection is re-established and it continues like this . Is that normal?

gobuster is interrupted by this and so is burpsuite

[olive wedge]

Yes, it worked. Thanks!

[topaz iron]

yes I did

[cinder walrus]

Hello, anytime i download my vpn config file, It's always empty

[ivory spruce]

Yeah.. not certain though if it is caused by your ISP. Have you tried to reconnect your OVPN to see if the issue would persist?

[ivory spruce]

This is for which network?

[cinder walrus]

All network tbh

[neat vortex]

yes, several times. The problem remains the same. Although that has only been the case since today.

[ivory spruce]

What VPN server are you using?

[cinder walrus]

Yesterday I tried to do 'breachingAD' so i downloaded it's vpn but it was empty, regenerated, still empty, so i left it

SO today, I want to do anormal box, I tried to connect to my normal EU region VPN, and it did not connect, so i deleted and tried to regenerate only to keep downloading a empty file for that too

[neat vortex]

EU-Regular-1

[topaz iron]

if is empty try to download it from your host not kali

[cinder walrus]

Kali is my host

I'm using kali as a daily driver

[topaz iron]

try downloading it from a different pc, i know it weird but i had this problem before and thats how i fixed it

i think thm will have to do some heavy maintenance

[cinder walrus]

tried now with my phone and got successful with normal VPN

But I'm getting download failed with breachingAD

Thanks mate @topaz iron

Can you try to EU-Reg-2 perhaps?

[topaz iron]

welcome, no problem. Yeah now you will have to find a way for the AD. but idk, im having problem with ad myself too

4 days now trying to do a room

[cinder walrus]

Reset?

[neat vortex]

I just tried EU-VIP-1. This works without any problems.

[topaz iron]

no, lateral movement. i did reset last week

[neat vortex]

oh my god, my problems with FTP and NFS are gone now too. Everything is running smoothly now. It was probably all due to the EU Regular 1 in the last few days.

I was already so frustrated that I started looking for another platform. But now everything works great on the other server. 😄

[ivory spruce]

Glad you have it sorted.

[plain wadi]

I can't get connected to VPN any Idea why ?

[ivory spruce]

What VPN server are you using? If its EU-Reg-3, I suggest you try other servers.

[arctic raptor]

An hour ago, my premium subscription expired, so I repurchased it. After downloading the openvpn file, it's still empty. How long does it take to use a VPN?

• Successful repurchase
• regenerated(US-East-Regular-1)
• file download & it is empty

[ivory spruce]

Have you tried reusing your old ovpn file?

[arctic raptor]

Yes, I've tried both the old file and the regenerate file.

[ivory spruce]

Have you tried any VIP servers (considering you're a subscriber)?

[arctic raptor]

i have tried download any vpn servers ovpnfiel. but all are empty inside.

[arctic raptor]

Is it because time has passed? EU-VIP-2 was able to download the file and connect successfully. Thank you for your big help.

Hi ! When I'm training on my ubuntu machine, sometimes it does this when trying to access the target on burpsuite, do you know how to fix it ? (this is the burpsuite browser)

[weary spindle]

You're using https, you need to use http.

[tough jackal]

yeah, but when change to http, it automatically change to https, I don't get why it act like that

[weary spindle]

If its firefox you need to change the setting.

[tough jackal]

it's chromium integrated browser

[weary spindle]

Switch to Firefox with foxyproxy then

i would prefer to find a way to fix this on brupsuit integrated browser

[dusty dagger]

hello guys, am i the only one having problems with the reset password link ?

[tiny tiger]

hi all, I wonder if one can use the Kali's GUI VPN configuration tool to connect to the THM VPN (instead of running the "openvpn" command in the terminal window)?. I've imported the settings, but the connection doesn't work for me. Maybe it's just me as I'm running Kali in a VM and my eth0 is a virtual adapter...

[weary spindle]

If you do , you need to turn off the setting to route your traffic through that.

Really, the CLI is easier and better.

[bronze vale]

Can you elaborate?

Hello,
It’s been 3 days I am asking for help because in lateral movement and pivoting room I don’t have « lateralmovement » interface. It’s impossible to configure the dns, I can’t move forward and nobody answer me since 3 days
Thank you

[celest gate]

Hi. Could someone please assist with this when available? My current account doesn't seem to be updating since I tried to verify the new one either, so if the discord token could be revoked that would be great. Thanks

[zealous yoke]

I've forwarded this onto the mods. They'll reach out when available 🙂

[zealous yoke]

Can you try and set the interface name on line 2 to lateralmovementin the openvpn config file?

[celest gate]

Brilliant, thanks for your help!

[patent hazel]

Actually « lateralmovementandpivoting.ovpn » file is empty

[zealous yoke]

Ahh that’s a problem. Can you go on the access page and regenerate? See if that profile works. If it’s blank, can you share an IP address of a machine on the network map so I can forward this on?

[patent hazel]

Even for the attackbox? I thought Access page is just for connect from our personnal computer/VM ?

[zealous yoke]

Ah, so that is correct for machines in rooms. For normal rooms, the AttackBox is on the same network, so no VPN is needed. However, for network rooms, they need their own VPN file as they're on a different subnet, even on the AttackBox (the attackbox automatically pulls the VPN file from the access page).

[patent hazel]

Ok thank you, so if a regenerate the config file, it will sync automatically in my Attackbox?

[zealous yoke]

You'll need to re-deploy the AttackBox as the pull happens at boot. You might be able to force the pull again without re-deploying but I'll need to check my notes on it first

[patent hazel]

No no don’t waste your time I’m reloading my AB

Same, config file still empty

[zealous yoke]

😦 can you share an IP of a machine on the network map of the room. I need this to identify what subnet you're on and forward internally

[patent hazel]

10.200.78.101 : adress of the THMDC

[zealous yoke]

Thank you:)

[patent hazel]

But I don’t have any issu with the network, from my VM I managed to join the network and set up the dns 😕 it’s just that I prefere to use the attackbox for this room and it’s weird this interface won’t show up

Hi everyone,

I've been encountering a challenge with my TryHackMe account, specifically when connecting to new machines. When I connect to the allocated IP address, I can access resources on all other available ports except for port 80.

I'm reaching out to the community for some guidance on what might be causing this issue and how I can overcome it. I've tried troubleshooting on my own, but the problem persists.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if I should put this here or in #room-help -- I'm in the Burpsuite Basics room, and the homepage for my attack box won't load. I have the foxyproxy enabled, and Intercept is on under the Proxy tab of Burpsuite -- and I know the class mentions that web pages will "hang", but I'm looking at about a 15 minute load time at this point. I've killed the attack box & restarted it a couple times.

I'm tempted to update both firefox & burpsuite as there are more current versions than what's on the attack box, but that means the new versions won't be 1:1 with the class instruction...wondering if that's my best path forward?

Hello. I can not connect to the tryhackme server with openvpn. My openvpn version is 2.6.7 . Note : sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn I changed the cipher to data cypher but still not working. And the message is showing that Protocol options: explicit-exit-notify 3. Hope anyone can help.

[weary spindle]

I think you're using the wrong ip.

[weary spindle]

Which server and OS?

[weary spindle]

If foxyproxy is on, you need to forward the request in burp

[orchid stag]

Kali linux. I can not join any server

[weary spindle]

You're also using the wrong ip.

You need to start thenmafhine with the green start machine button.

The ip you're placing in the browser is for the attackbox

[weary spindle]

Which server did you download?

[orchid stag]

EU-Regular-1, EU-Regular-2,In-Regular-1. I tried all of that

[weary spindle]

Which country do you reside in?

[orchid stag]

I reside in Bangladesh

[orchid stag]

I live in Bangladesh

[raw sky]

when I use "view in full screen" and then "exit split view" for attackbox (to have text in the one display, attackbox in the second), I lose info about time remaining.. after that when I click to "show split view", it shows 2 hours of remaining time even its not correct.. is possible to fix this bug? and also, what should I do to extend time without reopen split view?

Default

Try changing region

[scenic belfry]

hi friends,

i cant use " in the attack box, not in the terminal, not in browser and also not in any text editor.

how can i fix this?

[clear crest]

That works but connection is very slow due to my location.

[tribal mason]

Choose the closest one, and not US-East-Regular-1

[tawdry vortex]

Currently a problem with East Regular.. go with the US-West ones.. support is aware of it.

wdym, im just trying to do this room but cant use openvpn to connect to the room machine

[ivory spruce]

THM networks such as RedTeam Capstone Challenge, Wreath, Persisting AD, etc. have their own ovpn configurations.

[ebon storm]

oh no just normal thm rooms

the options error is telling me to define tun/tap device but when i serach how to do that im not really getting anything useful

[ivory spruce]

What VPN server are you using.

[ebon storm]

like am i supposed to use nano or vim on my ovpn file ?

like which region im selecting?

us east regular 1

[ivory spruce]

Have you tried to generate an ovpn configuration file from a VIP server?

[ebon storm]

no but i dont get why the one ive always used isnt working now?

i guess i could try to use the west vip server but it doesnt make sense why i cant connect to ovpn now

[ivory spruce]

You're not supposed to as manually editing it can cause issues when you connect.

[ebon storm]

i didnt edit it

[ivory spruce]

One possible reason is that the server is having issues. I seem to read something along those lines yesterday.

hi guys, im having some issues with openvpn. getting connection refused all the time, also switched regions without succes. should i continue with a fresh install of openvpn perhaps? or am i missing something

[weary spindle]

Which server are you using?

[steady fossil]

Hi! Is there any way to access CC:Steganography and Easysteganography rooms? I can find them in google but it says they are private

[weary spindle]

Yes, they are retired rooms due to age.

[brittle pier]

Im also getting connection issues with ovpn. Tried 2 different EU servers and previous versions of my ovpn configs

[weary spindle]

Are you in EU?

[brittle pier]

Yep

[weary spindle]

Which country?

What did you try?

Which OS?

[brittle pier]

UK

Tried 3 different OVPN configs, tried regenerating twice, restarted networking service, reboot

Kali - 6.5.0-kali3-amd64

It was working about 35-40 mins ago, then seemingly all of a sudden stopped

[brittle pier]

Bit further context of the issue. ovpn error logs:

VERIFY ERROR: depth=1, error=self-signed certificate in certificate chain: CN=ChangeMe
OpenSSL: error:0A000086:SSL routines::certificate verify failed

[tribal mason]

What region is the VPN from?

[brittle pier]

EU :)

[weary spindle]

1,2 or 3?

[brittle pier]

Tried 2 and 3 so far

[weary spindle]

Are you using sudo?

[brittle pier]

Yep

[weary spindle]

You don't have a VPN running on the host?

[brittle pier]

did a pgrep on openvpn, nothing else hung open

ip a shows no other tunnels open

[weary spindle]

Is this bare metal or a VM?

[brittle pier]

Bare metal

[weary spindle]

Ah, you're running Kali bare-metal, not a good idea for a start,

[brittle pier]

How so? I've been using it for a while now and no issues with VPNs in the past

[tribal mason]

Not the VPN, but the system can be broken

[brittle pier]

Do you have any further info on this, curious now 😂

[tribal mason]

Kali packages, they sometimes break the entire os

[weary spindle]

Kali is too unstable to use as a daily os

[real island]

Hey, is there anyway to get an openvpn file for US East? I can't seem to get one that isn't blank. I have one for the EU and for US West at least

[scenic belfry]

im on windows and also doesnt work for me

tried 1-2

[wind wedge]

0kb OVPN files?

[real island]

Yes

[wind wedge]

Have you tried regenarting the file?

[real island]

Yeah, at least 50 times lol

I suppose the ones for US West and EU will work. It would just be nice to have one closest to where I live

[wind wedge]

Strange, east works for me, I know some users have also reported some issues with it regarding the networks maybe it's the same thing causing that

[real island]

Interesting. Would that be a problem on my end?

[wind wedge]

That i'm not sure of unfortunatley

[real island]

Okay, well, US West wouldn't work either yesterday. So, maybe I'll get lucky with East at some point

At least they're valid for 10 years lol

[weary spindle]

you're using Windows?

[real island]

I've tried it on my Windows 11 Pro at home, Windows 10 at school, and multiple Kali vms

Same issue across the board

[weary spindle]

The school may be blocking your access.

For Windows, are you using zthe connect GUI app?

[real island]

Well, I haven't actually tried connecting on Windows. I want to use my Kali vm as the attack box. I just tried downloading the file on Windows to see if I had the same issue

[weary spindle]

Which country are you in?

How are you doing it on the vm?

[real island]

I live on the east coast of the United States. I'm trying to connect to the US East Regular 1 Server.

[weary spindle]

I think the US East Reg is broken,

Sorry for running around the rings here.

[real island]

I go onto TryHackMe's website, click Access under my profile, choose US East Regular 1, and download the config file. It shows that it's 0 bytes, meaning I didn't get the encryption key and such

[real island]

Oh, it is?

[weary spindle]

Yeah.

I've let staff knw about that

[weary spindle]

Yeah

[real island]

Okay, good to know lol

Thank you very much

[lyric venture]

Just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. Every time I start an attackbox I'm "Spinning Up" a new, never used VM, correct?

[weary spindle]

Correct

[lyric venture]

I've been doing a bunch of rooms lately which require me to download files locally. For Example, John the Ripper" (https://tryhackme[.]com/room/johntheripper0)

Is there an easy way I'm missing to download these files directly to the attack box?

[weary spindle]

No, unfortunately you're not able to

[lyric venture]

So either install and run the tools locally on my machine, or, log in on the attack box and download locally there. Is there a reason the files can't be downloaded using curl from the attack box? I've seen some rooms do this before.

[weary spindle]

You could do a python server on your host, but that would mean putting your host on the network

[lyric venture]

So basically make my own attack box. But at that point I'd just log in and always be logged in since its the same box each time. Am I understanding that correctly?

[weary spindle]

No, when you shutdown the attackbox, it reverts back to the way it was when it was booked up

There is no persistence

[lyric venture]

I meant make my own attack box/vm locally and use the VPN to remote into the network. Although, in the case of the John room there is no "network" since there is not a box which gets attacked.

[ivory spruce]

Yes, that would be ideal.

Hey new guy here trying to access via VPN. Using my Kali linux VM here and having troubles getting through.

Tried multiple VPN servers + regen the config file.

I found this error originally:

2024-02-16 18:43:59 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.

Google showed a lot of people had it so ended up just dropping "--data-" and naming it cipher (singular) got a new error:

2024-02-16 18:46:49 SIGUSR1[soft,process-push-msg-failed] received, process restarting
2024-02-16 18:46:49 Restart pause, 1 second(s)

Also:

2024-02-16 18:46:49 OPTIONS ERROR: failed to negotiate cipher with server. Add the server's cipher ('AES-256-CBC') to --data-ciphers (currently 'AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305') if you want to connect to this server.

Weird. I went to 10.10.10.10 but it works anyway.

If anyone is reading this, disregard the output and check 10.10.10.10 on your browser. For whatever reason tryhackme website + the terminal output will both say you're not connected but the actual connection works.

Hey i have a question! Will THM get courses like Full-stack dev or other coding courses? I know THM is about hacking but i really love THMs concept that you pay a affordable monthly fee and you get certificates etc

[unkempt summit]

i had a similar issue with another OpenVPN connection where i made this annoyance go away adding a flag with the referred cipher like --data-ciphers "BF-CBC" - OpenVPN is trying to make you avoid old and insecure ciphers, at my peticular case, i wasn't able to update server side ciphers. In my case i also had to add to ovpn file "tls-cipher "DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=0" https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/DeprecatedOptions

[lean forge]

hello, may I ask what is meant by subscribing to business in tryhackme?

[unkempt summit]

Hi Ned, i came to discord to solve an issue where a Windows 10 computer had OpenVPN connecting and working fine with THM Server, where a Windows 11 wasn't w
orking. On Windows 11 with latest OpenVPN software i was only able to connect changing advanced settings and letting insecure ciphers. The VPN would connect, it'd show traffic on its GUI, i'd get ip address for OpenVPN virtual interface, i'd get routes, i wasn't actually connected for some reason. I had also regenerated my profile in THM, but it didn't work out. In my Windows 11 i have another OpenVPN software for another proprietary company (that uses OpenVPN and it rebrands with its own name) and it was working properly on Windows 11. Also, OpenVPN (3.XX - latest) with above changes, it was reconnecting every a couple minutes. MY SOLUTION was uninstalling latest OpenVPN and getting same build i have on Windows 10 - https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/releases/
OpenVPN-2.5.6-I601-amd64.msi - i was able to import my THM profile, no changes applied to OpenVPN settings, i was able to connect and i am now pinging my attack machine.

hi, its a basic question but I didnt fine the answer, I cant connect to my openvpn (ver 2.6.7), and it's already with the "data-ciphers AES-256-CBC" so I don't know what doesn't work. Does anyone know ?

Does your vpn say intilization sequence complete at the end?

no its the restart pause issue but the line data ciphers doesnt fix it

[gleaming flume]

Can you provide some more information? You're trying to use the VPN yeah? Are you getting an error or are you confused about what to do?

[weary spindle]

@elder spindle

Which OS are you using?

[elder spindle]

kali linux

its bare metal

[weary spindle]

Everyone seems to have an issue with that lately.

[elder spindle]

i just did apt get upgrade and update lets see if it does something

[elder spindle]

the vips as well?

[weary spindle]

VPN + Kali.

Why are you bare metaling it anyway?

It's not a stable OS to daily drive.

[elder spindle]

i recently changed my username is that maybe a reason?

[elder spindle]

i like to keep things separate and my computers not that great to run it on a vm

and i tried it on my mac too, gives me the same result

[weary spindle]

I don't think so.

Anyway

You could always try re-generating Eu reg 1

[elder spindle]

already did

and i also ran the thm script on all 3 ovpn files

[weary spindle]

Have you deleted all the previous files?

[elder spindle]

yessir

Hey do I have to go to premium in order to continue the intro to cybersecurity?

[gleaming flume]

That learning path does have some paid rooms within it (as they all do), so if you want to complete it in its entirety then yes you will need get premium. There are tons of other free rooms on the platform though, if you are okay with forming your own learning path

[real kindle]

Hi. I am trying to learn the AD Lateral Movement and Pivoting. Yesterday I could connect and get credentials. But today I can only ping the THMDC. DNS queries do not resolve, nslookup cannot reach server. Restart server doesn't help. Maybe any suggestions? Same issue in the AttackBox.

I am trying to recover an account, I have control of the linked e-mail address, but I am not receiving a reset e-maill. checking spam gateway there is no attempt yet. Do you know the expected timeframe a recovery email will be sent after requesting a reset.

[wind wedge]

Did your account get deleted?

[naive dust]

I'm not sure, it used to be like a 0x0A user account with sub in its history, i sure hope not

I tried to register a new one, and it said that email exists

[wind wedge]

Do you login with google?

[naive dust]

No

Its a throwaway just for THM i cna give you the email np

[wind wedge]

Whats your username on THM?

[naive dust]

"Sporked" or "Sp0rked" email tryhackme@*.net

can I kick you the full details via PM?

account is definitely "sp0rked"

from the subscription email

[wind wedge]

Hmm, if you’re not receiving a link you’ll have to drop an email to [e-mail]

I found your account

[naive dust]

thats me

only 0x9? Gah, i remembered wrong. sorry

Thanks for looking

I will sent them an email and work on that thsi week

going to turn on an old computer and see if i didn't keep that keeweb in appdata there

(no longer using KW for pws)

[weary spindle]

If you can remember the password you can log in with your username instead of Email

[naive dust]

Its my hopes i set that pw before forking to my virtual desktop

still doing the patches on powerup

[naive dust]

Theres no way i could possibly have remembered that pw, thankfully it's stored somewhat safe (it was turned off after all)

I am trying to configure Openvpn on my ubuntu machine. I installed the openvpn ver=OpenVPN 2.3.10. When I tried to run the openvpn I encountered an error - "Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in HappyIam.ovpn:14: data-ciphers (2.3.10) Use --help for more information."

When i ran the troubleshoot script "#infosec-general message"
I got an error - "[-] MTU value failed at 1000, aborting MTU check"

Hello ,

I got a message saying that all 1000 ports are closed and I can't even see one port to complete the room .

from master to guru in 5 days that has to my fastest rankup

[bronze vale]

How old is your Ubuntu..?

[sour flame]

it's 16.04

[bronze vale]

Are you able to update to a newer version?

You might be able to connect by editing your .ovpn file and changing "data-ciphers" to just "cipher" but that's a temporary fix

My suggestion would be to update to a newer version of Ubuntu

[sour flame]

Yaah, today morning I already tried this method to change the data-cipher to cipher but again it was the same error

[bronze vale]

It shouldn't be the same error 😓

[sour flame]

I don't want to upgrade my OS as I've installed dual OS....whenever I upgrade it to 18/20 version my 1st OS-windows will be automatically deleted

[bronze vale]

That's only my suggestion.
You're likely going to run into a lot more problems down the road.

[sour flame]

kindly check ...same error after replacing it to the cipher

[bronze vale]

As you are a subscriber, you have unlimited use of the AttackBox.
This is automatically configured and is kept up-to-date with the newest tools.

You do not need to connect the AttackBox to the network, it is ready-to-go out of the box

[bronze vale]

cipher, singular

[sour flame]

Thanks .. i successfully connected OpenVpn, after adding the singular Cipher

I didn't understand the meaning of this line "You do not need to connect the AttackBox to the network, it is ready-to-go out of the box"

is that meaning, to connect the machine I have to only start AttackBox and ssh into Attackbox machine...?

[bronze vale]

You can access the AttackBox in-browser 🙂

[sour flame]

okay.....practice on Broswer AttackBox it's very tough and not handy... i thought after configured the OpenVPN on ubuntu i'll connect the Attackbox through ssh connection

is it possible to ssh connection attackbox

[bronze vale]

Yes but you will require to connect to the VPN service first.

[sour flame]

kindly suggest, how to get the ssh connection from local machine..?

1. I connect the VPN server
2. ran the cmd #ssh root@10.10.182.122 (AttackBox ip)
   after ran this cmd,nothing is happened. it's stuck not even given any error

Hi guys,
Anyone knows if there is a problem with the " Forgot password" option in the platform?

[weary spindle]

Did you not get an E-mail?

[simple loom]

I'm trying to recover my account but emails are not in my inbox but i'm receiving the monthly billing info

[simple loom]

no :c

[weary spindle]

You may need to contact support via E-mail then to recover your account.

[simple loom]

I'll try

Thank You ❤️

[sacred thicket]

if it is the machine from tryhackme then follow this:

1. Connection to OPENVPN: for which you've to download a ".ovpn" file and run it in terminal.
2. Run the machine: from which you'll get the ip address of the machine.
3. Run SSH command: ssh machine_name@machine's_ip_address (e.g. ssh tryhackme@10.10.23.29).

If it takes long time on the last step, then make sure the vpn is connected. You can ensure this by running ifconfig command from which you must see tun1 with IP address of the VPN.

[weary spindle]

For SSH in to the attackbox it will be root.

Not TryHackMe.

[sacred thicket]

it's an example tho. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi
Pls I'm having issue with the tryhackme website. It's always getting back to mobile view anytime I tried putting it in desktop view on my phone. I've tried using other browsers too but it's still the same

[ivory spruce]

What browser are you using?

[halcyon tinsel]

I've been trying to download the hololive vpn config file but everytime I try to do it the website give me a "Not Found" error. I've tried regenerating it and refreshing the page as well and it doesn't work. I can download the breachingAD config file so I know I can get some config files.

Good evening, could you help me?
I'm studying the SOC LEVEL 1 theme, I complete the "Pyramid of Pain", when I start the Cyber ​​kill chain module it asks me to subscribe to Premium, could you tell me how I can complete SOC LEVEL 1 without having to subscribe to Premium?

Grateful!

[ivory spruce]

Unfortunately, all learning paths have rooms that require a subscription. However, there are lots of free rooms you can work on the site ~75-80%

[ivory spruce]

You can still login to your account via your username if you can still remember your password and change your associated email accordingly in your profile page

hello is there a resource i can use to learn how to get the downloaded task files into the virtual machine? i tried using open vpn but its not connecting me for some reason.
