Then you show your college it's your account and they can verify the cert with the code down the bottom right hand corner.

it if fixed by using chrome in full screen

[carmine linden]

[glacial hound]

No it's their Kali VM I believe

[steel field]

Yeah it's our machines.

[languid pier]

What does the debug traces say

[weary spindle]

No, I use Remmina as my default RDP.

[steel field]

This is xfreerdp debug:

Chatgpt says it's might be a TLS issue.

😄

[stiff orchid]

chatgpt says many things.

[steel field]

I know. Sometimes it can help too 😄

So I just installed this new version of Kali a few days ago and I haven't try RDP since then.

So I'm pretty sure I had to change some settings earlier too

I just can't remember what

[weary spindle]

Try removing work area

[steel field]

It's the same message.

[languid pier]

No wait before you do that

Switch your server

[weary spindle]

One tun is good.

I connected fine though, with Reminna and xfreerdp

[steel field]

Yeah. I know that the machine works. I tried with the THM Attack box

[copper gazelle]

and it worked

[steel field]

It's just a freshly installed OS I have here 😄

[weary spindle]

Bare metal?

[copper gazelle]

i was using eu regular 1 @languid pier

[languid pier]

You switched servers and it worked?

[copper gazelle]

yes

[languid pier]

Yeah for some reason the eu server is jacked up

[weary spindle]

1 shouldn't be...

I'm going to try

Nah, it works for me.

Interesting.

Can anyone help with tthis still having this issue

[bronze vale]

May I ask, did you try this solution?

[smoky sparrow]

Since yesterday I am facing an issue - while solving any tutorial or CTF in tryhackme, even if victim machine is active, it isn't reachable for sometime. Tried this from Attack Box and through vpn access as well. Anyone know about this issue?

[weary spindle]

You would need to tell us which rooms you're trying to connect to, and what way.

[smoky sparrow]

First time I faced this issue was few days before, when I was solving this room - https://tryhackme.com/room/lianyu. I connected using VPN connection. Today, I got this issue for this room - https://tryhackme.com/r/room/anthem - and is persisted for long time. I was solving this room with Attack Box.

[weary spindle]

If anything it sounds like a MTU error

[steel field]

An update with my issue:

It only works if i'm using /sec:rdp in the command:

└─# xfreerdp /u:admin /p:password /cert:ignore /v:10.10.84.106 /workarea /sec:rdp

Why is that? What should I change if I don't want to use that in the future. I think it's not normal. 😄

[weary spindle]

I mean, the rror you were receiving is can only be done on your machine, I got the RDP fine with multiple.

[steel field]

Yeah I know. It's definitely on my system. I just don't know why. I just installed this VM a few days ago and I didn't really change settings. So I guess it should work normally. Maybe I just reinstall.

[smoky sparrow]

Ok, so what may be causing this?

[weary spindle]

Your MTU is is at a size where packets are being fragmented whilst it's sending/recieving.

[smoky sparrow]

But, same issue again repeated even when I terminated and restarted my Attack Box and Victim machine as well. Is there any way we can fix this?

[weary spindle]

If it's the attackbox it shouldn't be an issue with the MTU.

Are you doing a room now, on your vm?

[smoky sparrow]

Nope, was doing it when I first posted issue

[ivory spruce]

Can you post a screenshot of the issue you are having?

[smoky sparrow]

I don't have screenshot right now, but if it occurs again will inform here

[steel field]

Okay. After a fresh new crispy installation I still have my RDP issue.

It should work straight away, right?

It only works if I'm using /sec:rdp switch

Interesting

The point starts around 8:00

He says there is a compatibility issue with Windows 7. How could you use then without any issue? Are you using the latest Kali Version?

I guess he's right because I can use RDP without any issue in another room.

[weary spindle]

If that's the machine you booted up yesterday, I was able to rdp in just fine.

[steel field]

Are you using the latest version of Kali?

[weary spindle]

Yes

the connection is refused

[weary spindle]

Did it state why?

[glacial hound]

#site-support message might help

[steel field]

Did you manage to solve it?

[weary spindle]

IIRC the room they're doing they need to mount an NFS, download the id_rsa key and use that to SSH in.

[glacial hound]

my bad

[weary spindle]

Nah, its cool, I'd have done the same thing had I not known which room they were doing, that's all.

[mellow pier]

i think you didn't get what was problem here

[bronze vale]

Can I ask that you are not rude to support staff and community volunteers? :)

Downvoting questions they are asking you is just plain rude.

[mellow pier]

i am not rude, for me downvote== wrong

and upvote==right

[bronze vale]

Mhm, but you are asking for help, you are not in a position to say what’s wrong or right 🙂

[mellow pier]

asking for help ❌recommending solution ✅

[bronze vale]

Please stop being rude, I asked you nicely to be kind to those helping you

Otherwise you will lose your access to support in the discord server

[mellow pier]

i just gave the solution for someone with same issue

[mellow pier]

again iam not being rude

[bronze vale]

No, you downvoted a community volunteer asking you a question instead of just answering it

[mellow pier]

i may sound rude but i just want to help

[bronze vale]

I am not going to argue with you, what you did was rude.

[mellow pier]

i dont care if u take as rude or not that personal opinion , but for me downvote == wrong and upvote == right

and i dont think someone should be offend by downvote or upvote

[bronze vale]

I am letting you know that you were being rude and it is not tolerated here

[mellow pier]

i may sound rude coz i dont use engllish as my first lang

u have to understnad that

[bronze vale]

Which is why I kindly let you know 🙂

[mellow pier]

if i was in your shoes i should also consider that not everyone ment what they type , coz here my english consider normal and in your country it may sound rude

simple

and here is my first comment in thm

[bronze vale]

English isn’t my first language either 🙂

I kindly informed you that what you said was rude in an attempt to address it in a judge free environment

[bronze vale]

I wanted to let you know so that you could avoid being unintentionally rude to community volunteers

[mellow pier]

again saying downvote is not equal to being rude

[bronze vale]

I am letting you know that it was rude, please do not argue

[mellow pier]

ok ok personal choice, i dont mind

u may consider rude which i not even ment

i cant do anything about it

[bronze vale]

Which is why I kindly let you know so you could avoid doing it in the future 🙂

Understand?

[mellow pier]

no i am always blunt and straight to the point ,

always honest

even if i asked htb question i dont lie

and i dont care if that is rude or not that my personality i and dont want anyone to change it

[bronze vale]

Mhm, while I appreciate that, we have a zero tolerance policy for rudeness or inappropriate behaviour to our community team and employees

If you fail to respect this, you will lose the ability to receive support in the discord server

[mellow pier]

u are free to kick me from this server , u have right

[bronze vale]

Correct but I am not going to go around kicking everyone without a fair chance

[mellow pier]

but again i am saying i dont change thats who i am

[bronze vale]

You have been informed, with what you do with this information is solely your choice

This discussion is over 🙂

[mellow pier]

i am really surprised that i wanted to help thm dev and what i got is ban warning

thx i wont try to help

[solar jewel]

Hi
This is not connecting after I've connected with OpenVPN

[weary spindle]

Eu 3 is broken, can you use 1 or 2?

[solar jewel]

@weary spindle the internal virtual IP for all is 0.0.0.0

[weary spindle]

that page is broken.

If you can curl 10.10.10.10/whoami or visit http://10.10.10.10 in a browser it will tell you if you're connected.

[solar jewel]

Yes I'm connected. I've checked just now

[weary spindle]

Then you're good to go

[vestal lichen]

?

The time and date on my computer are accurate

[weary spindle]

Is this THM?

[vestal lichen]

Yeah

[weary spindle]

Main website or a room website?

[vestal lichen]

Both

[weary spindle]

You'll be fine either way.

[vestal lichen]

Okay thanks, any idea what couldve made firefox flag it?

[weary spindle]

Maybe it thinks it's the wrong time, hard to tell, it's seemingly only effecting you, so it my guess it's something on your end.

[vestal lichen]

Okay thank you!

[tough cape]

I'm having trouble with the attackbox and im unsure if its because i don't know the limits of it.
I opened the attackbox in one room and did some work and finished that room within 20 minutes of opening the attackbox, and then i Terminated it.
Then I tried to open the attackbox in another room and it stopped me with the error that it cannot be deployed for more than an hour a day.

Am I not able to open the attackbox in more than one room a day or is there something else going on that is limiting my ability to use it

[weary spindle]

Free users only get:

1 boot up of the attackbox and/or 60 min(s) rolling access.

So if you launch the attackbox at 13:00, it will close at 14:00, but if you terminate it before the time up is up, you'll not be able to re-launch a new on until tomorrow.

[tough cape]

I see, so if i don't terminate it i should be able to use it in multiple rooms?

[weary spindle]

Yes.

[tough cape]

Alrighty that makes a lot of sense, thank you!

[sweet forge]

Of course, you can have unlimited access to machines by simply using a VM rather than the attack box provided by site

[languid pier]

I recommend using a virtual machine. Like zombie net said

I am having issues with the Wazuh room in the SOC L1 pathway when I use the username and password provided it says wrong username or password

[vocal zephyr]

Make sure that the username is undercase and that you're coping the password down correctly.

[remote nest]

Right I did make sure it was lowercase and I for sure copied the password correctly not sure waht is going on

I copied and pasted the password and typed it in manually no luck

[vocal zephyr]

let me login to see if it works for me.

[vocal zephyr]

I was able to get in Make sure that the password doesn't include any spaces and that it does include hyphens.

[vocal zephyr]

Are you using the attack box or your own VM?

[remote nest]

I am using the attack bo

box

[vocal zephyr]

you can double check if you copy & pasted the right password using the left hand side tab, and checking the clipboard.

[mild frost]

Not a huge deal but if I scroll down on a page and click on notifications the active machine session covers the notifications pop up. Totally just a visual thing

[remote nest]

I did use the clipboard it looks like it pasted exactly what was provided for the password

[vocal zephyr]

See if it added any extra spaces in the front and back of the password.

[remote nest]

No spaces added

[vocal zephyr]

Try starting the room. I'm at a lose here.

[remote nest]

Very strange I tried manually tyoing in the username: wazuh and that worked lol

this is the current file configuration

this is the result i am getting "2024-03-23 18:50:39 Note: --data-cipher-fallback with cipher 'AES-128-CBC' disables data channel offload.
2024-03-23 18:50:39 OpenVPN 2.6.7 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] [DCO]

the original file didnt work so i tried changing the cipher

[languid pier]

What openvpn server are you on

[gaunt vapor]

its EU-Regular-3

[languid pier]

There’s your problem. So the file might not work now because you changed the cipher but change your server to a us server or anything other then the European servers.

For some reason eu 3 is broken

[gaunt vapor]

oh

[languid pier]

Also you might have to generate a new file

Just because you tampered with the cipher it might not work the same

[gaunt vapor]

alright thanks a lot

[languid pier]

Your welcome. Ping me if it works or not

[gaunt vapor]

worked 🙂

[languid pier]

Awsome

Glad to help

[rich dune]

Hey chat, im having some trouble getting through task 3 of the intro to OS Security. https://tryhackme.com/room/operatingsystemsecurity ... I understand i need to call to the IP address given for Sammies account as prompted, except i was provided "MACHINE_IP" for rhe accounts IP. constantly trowing an error in the VM. Can somewone help out plz?

[languid pier]

You have to activate the machine that’s in the room

[rich dune]

I have and the IP seems to be masked with MACHINE_IP

[languid crown]

need help, trying to start VM but after clicking and then it says target machine info but i dont see the window with the VM, i am connected to VPN

[languid pier]

I might be mistaken but I thin sometimes the machine is not in split screen

There should be a button that says split screen

[languid crown]

im not seeing it anywhere else though

where at?

[languid pier]

Hmmm I can’t launch the vm because I’m not near my computer at the moment but

Uh

[languid pier]

Hold on

I’m launching it rn

[languid crown]

do i have to use cmd to connect? sorry this is my first time trying the practice rooms

cool thank you

[languid pier]

see the blue

[languid crown]

mine says start attackbox there

i though im using opne vpn not attackbox?

[languid pier]

oh

[bronze vale]

You need to startn the machine to see the split view first

[languid crown]

the machine is started

[languid pier]

you can use both if the room allows you

which one do you want

do you have a Virtual machine?

[languid pier]

which room is this? i can show you what do you

[languid crown]

im not a premium user and it says i can only use one a say

1 hour a day*

[languid pier]

yeah sadly

but which room are you working on?

[languid crown]

pickle rick

so can i just not do it without attackbox?

[languid pier]

you can do it without the attackbox

but you need a virtual machine

[languid crown]

oh word? is there a free one i can use or how does that work

[languid pier]

yes theres 2. you can either choose VMware or VirtualBox

there both equally good

[languid pier]

bassically a virtual machine is a virtual computer that has everything a normal computer has but its well virtual

[languid crown]

cool downloading virtual box now

[languid pier]

you can think of it as a virtual computer inside your own computer

[languid crown]

yea im aware, im just confused becuase i thought i was using tryhackmes VM

[languid pier]

oh

[languid crown]

so if i donwload my own how am i doing the VM for the room

[languid pier]

ill walk you through that

[languid crown]

sick im in virtual box rn

[languid pier]

ight

now

you have to choose a OS. theres ubuntu, kali, parrot and theres some others but im not very versed in those

i use kali

[languid crown]

yea ive heard of kali and ubuntu

is kali what you reccomend?

[languid pier]

there both great but with kali it has most of your beginner pentesting tools that you can preinstall so i think its pretty good

[languid crown]

sick ill do that then

so im installing it on virtual box then connecting to the room through my VM

?>

[languid pier]

exaclty

https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-platforms

hers the kali download when virtual box is done

[languid crown]

i assume im doing the VM option?

[languid pier]

you can do either one but in my case the Virtual machine option was very confusing so i did the installer image

[languid crown]

and then i can put the image in virtualbox?

[languid pier]

yes

when you get into virtual box

you hit New

and then you put the iso into the ISO Image

[languid crown]

sick its finisashing downloading

[languid pier]

kali is?

[languid crown]

yea

[languid pier]

perfect

oh and also

for the operating system. Kali runs in debian 64

thats its default atleast.

[languid crown]

what should i do for hardware?

liek memory and processors

[languid pier]

it really depends

on how much base memory you have

[languid crown]

16

[languid pier]

16 what

[languid crown]

ok vm powering up

[languid pier]

oh ight

[languid crown]

16gb of memory on my pc

[languid pier]

damn you got plenty

you can atleast go to the middle of the green

[languid crown]

sick i just did 4 for now figured i can adjust later

isntalling kali now

[languid pier]

yes

[languid crown]

takes so long to install lol\

[languid pier]

ikr

[languid pier]

still downloading?

[languid crown]

yep

80%

[languid pier]

well Dwark i gotta go but after its all finished downloaded

https://tryhackme.com/r/room/openvpn

i mean room

glad to help 🫡

[languid crown]

its j finishjed

i appreciate it

but how do i get teh room on my VM

[languid pier]

see the link i sent

that should walk you through all the steps to connect to the room

go to the linux one

says "connecting with linux"

[languid crown]

do i do that on my VM?

[languid pier]

yes

[languid crown]

ahhhh ok gotchya

[languid pier]

open it up on your vm

[languid crown]

so download all the vpn settings on my vm not my pc

[languid pier]

your gonna need to open it up on your vm anyways because you gotta download the ovpn file on your virtual machine

[languid pier]

ding ding ding

[languid crown]

Hi, I forgot my account password, and not able to reset it. I'm sure the email ID I'm trying is the same as my the one I used to login with.
What's surprising is that I don't see a password reset email. Can anyone help me?

[hazy swift]

hello, what xp / rank do i need to have "top % percent" under my rank?

[sweet forge]

I don't know if you fully completed a room yet, but if not then you'll need to completely finish a room to get a rank, I do believe

[sweet forge]

It's beneath the credentials box. There's an option to the left that says " login with google" or to the right there's a "click here if you forgot your passwprd"

[hazy swift]

i already did a full week, have 2400 points level 7 and rank is 206736. and im still not getting the "top x% "
this is in tryhackme articles
“Top X%” calculations on TryHackMe will only take into account users with more than 100 points.
https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6563910-points-explained
i have over 100 points 😄

i did have this counter on my previous account so im not sure if i havent reached som threshold or its some sort of a bug🫤

[sweet forge]

I don't know, honestly never paid attention. I'm level 6 with 190,000 points. It shows me at top 20%....how many rooms have you done? where they all beginner/entry level rooms?

[hazy swift]

i completed 25 rooms so far... maybe it starts at top 20%, ill have to do some more 🙂

[sweet forge]

I'm just wondering why your points are so low for completeing all of them rooms

[hazy swift]

2416 points, most of them were easy | info

What server are you in

[main sedge]

Hi, I'm trying to create my own box for a Uni project, I've uploaded a 20.04 Ubuntu Server but for some reason I can't ping the machine, it has an IP when launched but I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong.

[crimson pilot]

not connecting to any box. Just trying to connect with openvpn. I fixed the problem by downloading thm troubleshooting openvpn

[languid pier]

Glad it’s fixed

[tribal mason]

This channel is related to THM site only. You can ask such things in #general. But have you checked ufw/iptables to see if they are blocking ICMP?

[main sedge]

Apologizes, and I don't think its actually connected as it doesn't respond to anything.

[gray lintel]

Hi, I'm new to this and I'm a paying subscriber and I am having trouble with speeds on the attack box so I started a kali linux vm and am trying to connect to the open vpn but it either takes forever or it doesn't connect can someone help me?

I looked through that, and I am good on everything that describes, when I try to connect to the server by doing sudo openvpn filepath, I'm stuck on Protocol options: explicit-exit-notify: 3

[gray lintel]

oh yeah, sorry about that, it says that the sequence is completed, however when I refresh my access on the site it still shows not connected

[weary spindle]

That mage is borked.

[weary spindle]

Visit http://10.10.10.10 in the browser where the VPN is running, or open a new terminal and curl 10.10.10.10/whoami

[gray lintel]

okay, thank you so much, I think it worked!

[cosmic raptor]

[sharp ingot]

anyone else having problems starting Burp's browser on the AttackBox ?

[plush bay]

oh yeah that is because it is running as root

[sharp ingot]

how do I unroot it ?

as that would be a nice continuation to today's uprooting !

nevermind, using Firefox

[meager chasm]

I'm having trouble connecting to the VPN. It worked fine a few hours ago but now when I use openVPN, 10.10.10.10 says I'm connected but doesn't show my openVPN IP

Like I can see the "If you can see this page, you're connected" page, but the VPN/tryhackme IP address below is blank

Nevermind, I had to sudo killall openvpn and used a different location, it's working now

AFAIK, you can't change your e-mail from a google account.

You're stuck with that as it's your login.

Other than leave subnet for 15 mins by usign the cog not really.

it is also empty on the attack box

[weary spindle]

Ya.

It's a small issue currently

[compact dagger]

hmmm, ok I will leave the room and try again

[sharp ingot]

so a bit back, like 3-4 months ago, I was able to use Burp on the AttackBox (went through the intro rooms) but now it won't open the internal browser as it is running as root

did a few rooms where it was required and I had to set the manual proxy in Firefox ... maybe there's something to look into ?

[maiden spindle]

Hello person, can anyone help me here?

When I go to my class, it says "introduction to Lan"
and to continue you have to pay, is it normal?

mods

??

[vague quiver]

Yes to access the complete courses you have take subscription

[maiden spindle]

no, that's bad

[vague quiver]

mostly you will get the free content but that was with limited resources so to gain complete access to all rooms plan is mandatory.

[ivory spruce]

Just think of it this way, if THM doesn't earn money, how will they be able to continue providing free content to the community, shoulder hosting costs in AWS, salaries for THM staff, etc.?

no
but when i use my phone i can connect

[weary spindle]

Is the phone connected to the Wi-Fi or mobile data?

[violet yarrow]

mobile data

[weary spindle]

As other people can access the website, then the issue is looking like it comes form your host/network.

Can you connect the pc/laptop to the mobile hotspot and try?

[violet yarrow]

yes i can

[weary spindle]

Then it looks like it's your network.

[violet yarrow]

Do you have any steps that can help me?

I can connect to any other site

but tryhackme i can't

[ivory spruce]

Is the internet connection managed by someone or is it a home connection?

You may need to check that with your ISP.

yuups

this is basically bringing your own kali vm to attack tryhackme

only way it would not work is if your isp/country is blocking vpns

[hazy crater]

Does anyone know how to fix openvpn? I cannot figure out how to connect to thm 😂

[weary spindle]

Which server?

[rich spire]

ok i know how to connect to ovpn but i can't figure out how to actually connect to the room with my terminal, i just keep getting "This is the welcome box, you can't SSH into this machine. You probably need to terminate this machine and deploy the VM from the room!"

[weary spindle]

Which room are you doing?

[rich spire]

just the tutorial room because i'm trying to figure out how to not have to use attackbox

i can see it's running on ssh, it just keeps kicking me out

[weary spindle]

That's fine, it just means it's working, you can now close that machine and do another room.

[hazy crater]

Apologies, I was in EU-Reg 1

I switched from EU-Reg 3 which made the issue somewhat better

[weary spindle]

Try number 2 🙂

[hazy crater]

but I also tried switching to a new region and that fixed completely

[rich spire]

ok that's good, so when i try to connect to the linux fundamentals room it's asking for a password and it doesn't give me a password anywhere

[hazy crater]

Is there an issue with those servers or something?

[weary spindle]

Linux fundemental 1?

[weary spindle]

Currently, yes there is.

Staff are looking in to it.

[rich spire]

yes

i already know how to do all of this i just really hate web based vms

[weary spindle]

That machine cannot be ssh'd in to, as it's a standalone machine to teach about linux, that one is a split screen machine.

[rich spire]

aw man

i assume for future machines it will let me know if i can connect through my own terminal?

[weary spindle]

There is only around 1-2 % of the machines aren't able to connect.

For various reasons, but one of the most important ones is malware related etc.

Are you comfortable with Linux?

[rich spire]

no

i feel like maybe i don’t need to do the complete beginner path

since i’m not really a complete beginner

[weary spindle]

All paths are optional 🙂

[rich spire]

yeah i figured it couldn’t hurt

[weary spindle]

You can use the search to list rooms using the search, you can filter out free, ctf, difficulty etc

https://tryhackme.com/r/hacktivities/search

[rich spire]

might skip to pre security or something like that

[weary spindle]

Jr Pentester and Red Team are good paths, some paths have subscription rooms though.

[rich spire]

dang

[weary spindle]

Still though, 75-80 % of the website is free.

[rich spire]

i’ll figure it out

[weary spindle]

🙂 Excellent.

[rich spire]

right now i’m more focused on networking basics since i’m still a little fuzzy on that

[weary spindle]

not a bad place to start.

[rich spire]

i’ll see what paths there are because i probably shouldn’t spend my time on stuff i already know

[weary spindle]

That's a good idea.

Hello, I have a problem with the TryHackMe website. I can't access the site, but I can with a VPN. What's the issue, please?

[ripe depot]

/verify

[thin grove]

Any help, please? I can't enjoy the rooms 😦

[plush bay]

sounds like it is either blocked by your work or school or home router or blocked by your isp or blocked by your countries government

we are not gonna help you bypass said blocks probably

@weary spindle can maybe look into it more

[thin grove]

I worked on the passive reconnaissance room yesterday, and everything was good. I think my IP is banned, but I didn't do anything wrong.

[plush bay]

@bronze vale ??? might need tryhackme staff for this one

[bronze vale]

We don’t ban IP addresses 🙂

If you can access it on a VPN, we’re not blocking you

Check that you can access cloudflare services

[thin grove]

I can join the CTFtime website, it's working with Cloudflare services I think ?

[bronze vale]

https://www.cloudflare.com/

Does this work

[thin grove]

yes

[crystal onyx]

hi

Is the website working properly?

cuz I can't access it

[thin grove]

I have the same problem 🥲

[crystal onyx]

are you from the MENA region?

[glacial hound]

Where are you both located? Maybe your ISP is blocking it.

[crystal onyx]

north africa

actually

yes

it could be a problem with the ISP

tested with cellular data

works like a charm

[thin grove]

north africa too but all my friends can join the website

[glacial hound]

Do you all have the same ISP?

The website is definitely up, so this would be the most probable explanation.

[crystal onyx]

tested with mobile data

it works

so yeah

probably a problem with the ISP

[twilit prairie]

some one know this notpad application ?

i am seaching for it

or if some one know some application for notes its cool

[thin grove]

I don't know sadly

So, can we fix the problem with the IPS ?

[glacial hound]

Can you test with your mobile hotspot?

[glacial hound]

It's worth a shot, they should be able to give you an explanation.

[weary spindle]

Hiya, if this is a general question, can you ask in #general please?

[thin grove]

Yeah, it works with my mobile hotspot.

[glacial hound]

Then, it's highly likely your ISP is blocking THM.

[thin grove]

I hope I can fix this problem.

[glacial hound]

Me too, best of luck!

[weary spindle]

@thin grove and @violet yarrow do you guys share country/isp?

[twilit prairie]

ok sorry

[thin grove]

Thanks a lot for your help and time.

i use topnet.

[thin grove]

The last question: If I use payment for THM Premium with my mobile hotspot and then connect with a VPN the next day, could I be banned by THM?

[violet yarrow]

using topnet?

[thin grove]

yup

[violet yarrow]

tunisia ?

[thin grove]

yes xD

[violet yarrow]

[ivory spruce]

So long as no laws are being broken or bypassed, there is no reason for your account to be banned unless you are breaking the ToS (e.g., account sharing, use outside permitted boundaries, etc.)

Hello! I have a question. I want to organize a CTF competition within a passionated student community with poor financially condition, using the services of the TRYHACKME platform. They do not have premium accounts on tryhack me, but i would like to be able to share them links with CTFs, from low to high difficulty, like a competition. In the first place, I want to organize this event only once, to see the feedback from the community then, eventually, organize such events in the future. So, I want to know, if i can pay this service separately, to Tryhackme, only for this event, without having a business account. Thank you in advance for your answer! 🙂

Hi all, I'm playing with Kubernetes for Everyone but the machine is so overload and no command returns any result

[warped crest]

Hello! I have 2 problems connected with TryHackMe:

1. Yesterday I raised my level on, but it did not change to a higher level on my profile. I can see that on dashboard is the higher one.
2. Since yesterday, I have had problems opening webpages attached to some rooms. When I click the View Site button, I get a message that static-labs.tryhackme.cloud took too long to respond. I tried to connect via different web browser, but nothing changed.

[weary spindle]

1] Staff are of this issue, and are currently looking in to it.

2] This could really be an issue with your own connection, are you using a VPN or anything, have you tried using incognito mode?

[warped crest]

Thank you very much for fast response. The IT team from my university (POLSL) probably has limited something again and half of your services stopped working in the university network overnight - normally, if something doesn't work in the POLSL network, check the Internet access from the mobile network. I didn't think that something happened overnight. They will throw half things again without any information... Thank you once again, the problem is solved

Are you requesting to decrese the MTU? how would that help?

Take a look at #start-here

[wicked rampart]

Right now, I am trying to use OpenVPN for the rooms but there is something off. I recently try to complete the "SQL Injection Lab". Nmap can recognize all the ports, I can ssh and ping the machine ip but the only thing I cannot do is to access the website. In the introduction it should be accessible for port 5000. Even if I insert the URL http://machine-ip:5000, it does not load. The problem also occurs in some other rooms. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[weary spindle]

Are you using an IP or "machine-ip"

[wicked rampart]

I am using an IP

[weary spindle]

Attackbox or VM?

[wicked rampart]

VM but according to OpenVPN I already got an IP and TryHackMe also recognizes the IP

[weary spindle]

ip a | grep "tun"

Also, what is the ip?

[wicked rampart]

10.14.70.247/17

[weary spindle]

That's the wrong ip, that's your tun0

You need to start the machine on task 1 or something

green button

[wicked rampart]

then this ip: 10.10.20.144

it's already booten up

[wicked rampart]

I only can access the website through the attackbox, the url is still loading and I won't get any response. Maybe it has something to with my firewall settings?

[peak swallow]

is there any way I can get the old certificate design?

[weary spindle]

Not for new certs

[peak swallow]

awh man :(

i guess photoshop it is

[wicked rampart]

wget http://10.10.20.144:5000/

Connecting to 10.10.20.144:5000... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response...

Seems like I can send a request but I don't get any response

[slender sluice]

is there any known issues with west-vip openvpn happening?

[safe dune]

Can't say for certain, but in case you are right, try EU regular-2

[safe dune]

Yes.. that's because you didn't ask for a response lol. Let me explain.

wget- is much let GET in php. So you basically sent a request to http://10.10.20.144 at port 5000
That's it. You didn't attempt to retrieve any file or anything. So you're connection has been established but no one knows what to do anymore.

If this was from the metasploit exploitation room, try to get your revershell by name. If it's shell.elf, try http://10.10.20.144:5000/shell.elf

[wicked rampart]

First, thank you for your response. So my connection is established but that‘s it. Yeah that is clearly my fault because I forgot to mention to get the html data. But that’s not my point. For clarity, I marked my main issue right now. Maybe you have any ideas why the issue occurs?

[safe dune]

Hmmn 🤔
Are you able to ping the machine-ip

[wicked rampart]

Yeah, I can ping the ip and through nmap I can scan the port 22 and 5000. I even can ssh with the machine-ip, only cannot access the webpage.

[ivory spruce]

What URL are you putting in when trying to access the web page? Also, have you checked that there is a service running http?

[wicked rampart]

http://10.10.20.144:5000/ and yes, this port is running http, I already checked it with the attackbox

In victim shell I am trying to compile

In your victim machine, can you try which gcc just to see if it is installed but prpbably not in the PATH environment variable?

Oh okay. So we can't connect with tryhackme using ssh?

Cause I tried connecting to a room yesterday it's saying permission denied

which room?
some machines allow ssh connections, some don't.
some machines use "default" credentials (user: tryhackme, pass: tryhackme), others don't.

Since these are the closest to me

[languid pier]

EU what?

1 2 or 3

[lusty scroll]

I think 3

[languid pier]

Try 1

There’s something wrong with 3

[vocal zephyr]

Both EU 1 and 3 are currently having issues, so try 2 instead.

[languid pier]

Really 1 too?

Yeah do 2 then

Did 1 just start bugging out too?

Or was it always bugged

Ah

[languid pier]

Do 2

i accidentally put the wrong answer on the first question. now its kinda stuck... any suggestions?

Says it’s the correct answer

[zinc burrow]

but it isnt the right answer it must be wade7363 now the 2nd question is bugged thats why

i got it solved didnt know theres this option to reset a progress of a room

refreshing the page will set it to the correct answer. they have a bit of tolerance built in for typos/accidental keypresses.
