[tender cosmos]

alright. thank you! i did create a team earlier after filling out all my details. and I can see the "Join Room", but it didn't really work. so I dunno if I'm still allowed to participate or not (as a student), I am aware that the site has functionality issues currently so I'll try again later to join the room.

(Shows this when I try to click "Join Room")

[cloud rose]

hey @ember osprey try hack me runs too slow in my laptop. earlier it was fast from yesterday it has become unbearably slow. wnything i can do to improve the speed?

[agile elbow]

Same here.. it takes about 20 sec for the site to acknowledge my answers

[foggy hawk]

same here too, can't finish my room

[velvet harbor]

me too

[cloud rose]

facing huge lagging... takes 3x more time to finish a room. im facing this from south asia. indian server... where are you from

[agile elbow]

I’m in Melbourne Australia

[sour thorn]

Problems here too

[ember osprey]

staff is working on it 🙂

[cloud rose]

@agile elbow would you mind if i dm you?

[agile elbow]

No not at all

[ebon relic]

Is the tryhackme site ok?

[autumn bluff]

guys all my stats have been reset and my PFP is gone

[ebon relic]

same here

[autumn bluff]

it only opens on PC somehow, on mobile it straight up shows a 404

[ebon relic]

i think they are working currently

[spice vale]

It's taking better than 30 seconds to acknowledge my answer

[wild umbra]

same too

[agile elbow]

It’s getting worse and worse.. it’s unbearable now.. won’t even take answers.. just saying unknown error instead

[fallow wave]

I am having the same problem

[spice vale]

welp gonna answer one question to keep my streak and then return later. I was hoping to review stuff I haven't seen in a while.

[swift estuary]

Wow this site is still down on my side like 5 hours later. I figured I'd sleep and get it and it all be taken care off. They seriously have a problem looks like.

[agile elbow]

Someone probably tried to hack tryhackme.. the irony🤣

[mild drum]

can i ask for help sir, my openvpn cant connect with tryhackme already tried every article i can find in the internet but still nothing works X_X

[daring relic]

check the last 100 messages.

[mild drum]

from where sir

[daring relic]

From your entry. The entire site seems to have a lot of problems at the moment. And you don't need to add Sir on the internet my man.

[mild drum]

ive been encountering this issue even before the site problem came dang

[daring relic]

I see, it's hard to test sollutions now when the site is down though.

Or almost down.

[gentle dragon]

That is just stupid, the entire world is out there and they would attack this place. There are just shame to be collected from such a action.

[weary spindle]

Which server are you trying?

[mild drum]

to be honest, i tried every single one of the server as part of troubleshootng... nothing works

[weary spindle]

Which country do you live in?

[fallow gull]

same here.

[mild drum]

ph sir

i tried au server since its the closest but still problem

[weary spindle]

How are you connecting, which os?

[mild drum]

im using it on my linux vm sir

[fallow gull]

the problems are on thm side not your side and doesnt matter which OS

[weary spindle]

I'm connected to the VPN.

[mild drum]

my openvpn connection is already completed as it says.. and when i try to access 10.10.10.10 i can access it no problem.. but /access site still says im not connected and i cant connect to machine IPs only 10.10.10.10

[weary spindle]

Ignore the /access page

It's broken.

[fallow gull]

thats what im saying thm site is down ...\

[mild drum]

i see... how can i verify my connection to thm sir if i cant access machine IPs

[fallow gull]

and this is a well know problem witin thm that the acces site not always shows your connection

[weary spindle]

ip a | grep "tun"

If you get a reply with an IP, you're connected.

[fallow gull]

you can ping the device you trying to powen en check ip a

[weary spindle]

You can't if it's Windows.

[fallow gull]

he is using linux

[weary spindle]

So pinging their own machine would be pointless?

[fallow gull]

that is not what im trying to say, if u are trying to pown a box. If u started it U can ping the box , that also confirms your connection

[weary spindle]

But what if the box is WIndows?

You can't ping it then.

[fallow gull]

why not ?

[weary spindle]

Because Windows blocks ICMP pings by deafult.

[fallow gull]

someting new learned today

[livid urchin]

Hey guys recently I am having trouble getting past the cloudflare verify you are human page to even load the main tryhackme page. I just get stuck in a loop.

[weary spindle]

It's a known issue.

Staff are aware and working on a fix.

[mild drum]

i can confirm that both 10.10.10.10 and machine IP can ping if this is good thank you so much guys for the help... sorry im still trying to learn and im doubting if its good or not since i cant access the site via ip

[livid urchin]

is there a workaround in the meantime, clearing my cache and cookies didn't seem to work

[fallow gull]

doesnt matter whe all started , what do you mean which site cant you acces via ip

[weary spindle]

No?

[weary spindle]

Which room are you doing?

[livid urchin]

thanks

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @weary spindle (current: #2 - 3472)

[mild drum]

the machine 😅 im on activerecon room rn

[weary spindle]

And how are you trying to connect to it?

And which task are you doing?

[mild drum]

ive been using the web base attack box long ago and i just started trying to use my own machine so that i can figure out how it works... also the 1hr daily limit is frustrating since im still trying to maximize the free labs before i go premium

[weary spindle]

Yeah, 1 hour restriction is fair due to AWs.

But how are trying to connect to the machine, what are you doing?

[mild drum]

so far im just following questions and write down notes on everything i learn so that i can get back to it anytime.. i havent got to complex connections so far so the only problem i thought i encounter is the openvpn connection to tryhackme

but since you guys said as long as i can ping the machine ip and 10.10.10.10 then its good, i can finally continue learning haha.. thank you so much

[weary spindle]

But you're connected?

[mild drum]

with openvpn? i think yes
with the machine? i dont know hahah how can i tell 😅

[weary spindle]

Follow along with the steps.

[mild drum]

alright thank you sir thank you so much for the help appreciate it

The site still isn't fully responding. It loads but that's about it. It doesn't recognize my login or anything. So after all this is over THM is going to have it's hands full sorting out streaks, and who know what all else or issues that people lost because of this LONG outage.

[gloomy summit]

Hi guys, new here. Unsure if im doing something wrong or if theres an issue. When Im on the early module, the enumeration phase with the "vulnapp" http://enum.thm/labs/verbose_login/ address, I just get: "Error response, Error code: 405, Message: Method Not Allowed, Error code explanation: 405 - Specified method is invalid for this resource."

I assume this is pre-configured out of the box so I don't actually know what to do to get this working. Tried a fresh machine. Tried it with the IP, localhost and hosts file updated. Any ideas what I can do to remedy?

[slim dew]

Hello,

I am currently going through Metasploit: Exploitation room. I am stuck in Task 3 where I am suppose to initialize msf database. I keep getting a message on terminal "Please run msfdb as a non-root user".

[brave owl]

if you used sudo exit it and run metasploit without sudo

or if you are using root terminal use normal one not the red one

[slim dew]

Thanks

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @brave owl (current: #1778 - 2)

worked?

[slim dew]

Nope. I am using the black terminal and made sure I am not using sudo when running metasploit

the black terminal is starting me as a root user.

very weird

try to restart your machine

restart did not work either

[frigid nimbus]

You don't need to do that on AttackBox , db is already initialized there 🙂

Maybe you added AttackBox ip instead of target ip in /etc/hosts

[frigid nimbus]

So did has someone made a type-0 regarding the answer to the question?

[ember osprey]

No , your answer seems incorrect

[frigid nimbus]

It asks me to append a capital letter to the end of the word, then i google Az and it mentions that it prepends to the beginning of the word?

[ember osprey]

No Az should append at the end

[frigid nimbus]

Ahhhh my mistake, i appreicate the help.

Az appends to the end of the word & A0 appends to the end of the number, chatgpt did me dirty.

Is Insekube room BROKEN? Hi, looking for some help/direction, please. Insekube Room target host is not stable. The IP is available. However, ports are open, filtered, then closed intermittently. I can't get a stable reverse shell connection for more than a few seconds and can only use its web page once every minute or so. It is making the room unusable. I am halfway through the room. I have tried multiple THM VPNs, the AttackBox, and multiple machines/OSs/browsers. All the other rooms are fine in the same environment.

[night arch]

Hi, new here. I have encountered a maybe? issue. I think it would best be discussed via DM. maybe as in could or could not be. above my understanding, really.

[vale sierra]

hi all, I'm haveing a problem with target machine, It is just black screen, I'm in Crypto Basics

[night arch]

ok so during HTTP in detail, when I arrived at the part that has us learn how to use dev tools to view cookies, I left dev tools open because its interesting and I wanted to further familiarize myself with what it has to offer. (fire fox btw) I started poking around warnings, bug tabs etc. noticed I had warnings from firefox about known trackers so set about setting that straight. then I noticed something come up while connecting to " how websites work" room. I will attach an image with this comment. I have the code copied should you like to take a look at that as well but it's lengthy so head's up. is this a thing? a facetious nod from THM? or is this a problem?

[ember osprey]

Do you have any browser extensions / ad-blockers ? Are you using Brave browser

[ember osprey]

It is a gimick from thm 🙂

[night arch]

ok thnk god lol

ty

[vale sierra]

I have firefox yesterday it worked normally in other rooms

[ember osprey]

Try to restart your browser

tnx that helped 🙂 🤦

[thorny stream]

Can someone please see if they have the same issue with Insekube.

[agile vault]

now im connet to vpn on THM ( how too coont to the web base AttackBox )

[ember osprey]

Press Start AttackBox button in the room

[agile vault]

Non-subscribed user can only deploy the free AttackBox for 1 hour a day. Subscribe for unlimited access.

and i see ( Free Room. Anyone can deploy virtual machines in the room (without being subscribed)!

[ember osprey]

Then you can use your own vm via vpn for unlimited access

[agile vault]

but how

[agile vault]

i have use abut 4h now on my vpn

[ember osprey]

You can learn how on the link below 🙂
https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn

[agile vault]

i have try but what vers i the right one bc i have try alot

[ember osprey]

What do you mean ?

[agile vault]

2.4.0 or 2.6.6 or ?? i have try alot of them no luck

[deft onyx]

If I didn’t have a server near me would that explain why I can’t connect the vpn?

[weary spindle]

Which country are you in?

[deft onyx]

Saudi

[agile vault]

im in denmark

[deft onyx]

You have EU servers

[agile vault]

is what i get

[tall lodge]

is there any alternative to the attackbox that we're using right now

[ember osprey]

Can you access http://10.10.10.10/?

[agile vault]

hang on 🙂

[ember osprey]

You can use THM Kali machine also

[tall lodge]

okay

[agile vault]

@ember osprey wee i see that pages

[tall lodge]

is there any way I can use the attackbox more then one hour without needing to pay?

[agile vault]

i gusse its have some think to do whit a vpn

[ember osprey]

No but you can use your own vm via vpn for unlimited access 🙂

[ember osprey]

You see the page ?

[tall lodge]

sure

[agile vault]

yes

[deft onyx]

So you’re connected then

[ember osprey]

Then everything is fine with your vpn connection , ignore access page on thm website , it is broken 🙂

[agile vault]

soo what is the next step for free acc ?? 😄

[ember osprey]

That's it , you're good to go. Join some rooms and enjoy 🙂

[agile vault]

( Non-subscribed user can only deploy the free AttackBox for 1 hour a day. Subscribe for unlimited access.) (You need a subscription to start this type of VM)

[ember osprey]

Yeah that's why you're using your vm

[tall lodge]

wait do you mean cmd promt then?

[agile vault]

soo i nee a ??

[agile vault]

im a litte lost 😄

[ember osprey]

VM - virtual machine with linux installed , you need to connect it to thm network once you set it up @agile vault @tall lodge

[tall lodge]

AHA okay

[agile vault]

but hmm i dont have a sever 😄

[tall lodge]

@ember osprey

[ember osprey]

@tall lodge @agile vault You can learn how to set up VM on the link below 🙂
https://www.kali.org/docs/virtualization/install-virtualbox-guest-vm/

[agile vault]

then i need a server 😄

[deft onyx]

No you just need your computer

[deft onyx]

A Virtual Machine is just a file you download

When you open it with an application like VMware or VirtualBox it acts like another computer inside your computer

[agile vault]

think i need a brack 😄 and some air

bbl

[gloomy summit]

But wouldn't this still be accessible using 127.0.0.1 or localhost? The error persists whichever way I go about it? Also, the introductory hosts file segment states to add the external IP for the attackbox no? There is no target device as this is brutforcing a hosted login page using a python script and a list of emails?

[tall lodge]

btw kgb THM kali-linux needs a paid subscription to work

[ember osprey]

Yes

[ember osprey]

No , add target ip to /etc/hosts

[gloomy summit]

"Deploy the target VM attached to this task by pressing the green Start Machine button. After obtaining the machine's generated IP address, you can either use the AttackBox or your own VM connected to TryHackMe's VPN."

This suggests the machine IP is the external IP of the attackbox - if you're saying this is incorrect, what then is the target IP?

[blazing solstice]

it seems you are confusing the two machines.
Usually it works like this>

The virtual machine you can deploy for several hours per day, this one is the "victim" or "target" machine. When it is deployed, it will show you an ip address. And is specific to the room you are starting it.

The other machine is the attack machine, it can be your own machine via ovpn (free, it is yours) or the web attackbox (1 hour per day for non subscribers)

[ember osprey]

That's ip of the machine you started , you can find it in red box above the tasks

[gloomy summit]

I didnt realise there were two VM's. Thanks for clarifying. I'll go take another look

[agile vault]

@ember osprey i have a litte questen here in 2-3h i will get a laptop whit kali on then i do not need a vm right for all the task on thm right ??

[ember osprey]

You can also use Kali as main/host OS but I don't recommend that

[agile vault]

its a win/kali dule boot 😄

[ember osprey]

I would still recommend running Kali inside a VM as it is a sandboxed environment

[agile vault]

ok hmm no i have more to think abut hehehe

[gloomy summit]

Can you help clarify here, the computer connected via VPN - my own machine is the attack box. The VM box i spin up via the website is the vulnerable machine. I have added the VM's IP into the hosts file on the computer connected via VPN. enum.thm works, but when i go to "~/labs/verbose_login" i'm met with the same page "error response, code 405" as though the webservice isnt even running on this VM.

Either way the attackbox IP showing at the top, doesnt appear to be showing the verbose page whatever machine i try to access it with.

[ember osprey]

Can you please verify and provide a screenshot of your /etc/hosts ?
https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6495858-discord-how-do-i-verify-my-tryhackme-account

[gloomy summit]

I dont think this is my config error - i think im getting confused with the machines.

OK, so i can use either my own machine or the machine i boot up from within the courses aka the attack box.

The issue im having is that I dont know the details for the vulnerable machine - where is this info?

ugh

sorry

i got it

[eager raptor]

the target machine is the one that spins up when you press start machine

[gloomy summit]

yeh

[eager raptor]

ip will be on the page

cool

[gloomy summit]

i made the mistake of thinking that the button was the same button for spinning up the one VM

i swear, im not usually this stupid

[eager raptor]

yeah it can be confusing at first if you're using the attack box.

[ember osprey]

Is everything ok now ?

[gloomy summit]

Yeh, just a bruised ego mostly lol

working as it should - apologies

[ember osprey]

No need to be sorry buddy 🙂

Hello TryHackMe Support Team,

I recently completed the Jr Pentester path, but I accidentally entered my name incorrectly. As a result, the certificate was generated with the wrong name.

My correct name is: Zeyad Nasser Baghdadi
My TryHackMe username: ZodX1

My subscription will expire in two days, and I urgently need the certificate with my correct name because I am applying for a job that requires it. I would really appreciate your help in correcting this issue as soon as possible.

Please let me know if there’s anything I need to do from my side.

Thank you for your time and support!

Best regards,
Zeyad Nasser Baghdadi

Please help

[weary spindle]

There is nothing you can do to change the name of the certificate, the only thing you can do is show the certificate in your account.

[remote python]

why i can't view my certificate

[weary spindle]

Have you completed the path?

[bright badger]

Task 3, first question. Looks like the answer ends with a 2-letter word, but it is actually 3.

[still tide]

nope sorry i didn't see that as a requirement anywhere

[weary spindle]

Yeah, it's on the netwoks list

Looks you're either not using sudo, or you have a blank VPN file.

[upbeat laurel]

im using sudo, and the file is not blank

[weary spindle]

Which VPN file is this?

[upbeat laurel]

its the vpn file from AD-enumeration

the network

<my_username>-adenumeration.ovpn

[weary spindle]

In that case, you'll need to edit the file.

Change dev [interface name] to dev tun

[upbeat laurel]

oh it worked tysm !

[knotty marlin]

Oh, so you think there's no chance of a refund or a subscription return or something like that?

[weary spindle]

I doubt it, tbh.

But I don't speak for THM, so you may reach out to support.

[knotty marlin]

Kk thnx m8

[faint jackal]

Hey yall, not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but I had a question about SAL1. Do you know if the multiple choice part is proctored or if it limits internet use?

Cause I was reading, and it feels pretty impossible to proctor the multiple choice if you have 24 hours to do the exam, and can take it at any point in that time frame?

Lmk if I am missing something. I understand that when you start the multiple choice you have to complete it in a certain timeframe.

Someone had @ jabba.sh, but I think the question got drowned out.

[weary spindle]

It's not proctored, it's open book.

None of the exam is proctored.

[faint jackal]

This makes sense, since THM probably doesn't have the resources to proctor every examination. But, I just wonder whether its wise to have a multiple choice section when its open book when you have AI and things. It seems like eventually the LLMs will be able to regurgitate the answer? I realize that part of the marking system is AI as well. Is any of the marking done by a person or is it all automated?

Are there plans to combat the usage of AI during the exams or is it kind of sunken cost? I don't like multiple choice anyways since it doesn't test anything besides parroting information, but I don't know about companies.

[weary spindle]

Automated with manual checks here and there, I guess.

Not sure what's going on here. I've been having a rough time with the "Networking Core Protocol" room. Due to the fact that "telnet" command is not working on some of the tasks.

[deft quartz]

Arent you connected?

I think the OK shows it

Not sure tho

[honest widget]

Yea it says im connected, but the task wants me to login with the credentials it provided me. But its not letting me for some odd reason.

[deep pebble]

It is normal to having problem with revrse-shell over VPN at THM?

[honest widget]

Yea this has to be a site issue because i looked it up and I've done everything correct.

[cobalt ember]

when i try to open 'tryhackme.com/certificate/THM-*' it shows 500

I would try clearing out your browser cache or try using a different browser. See if that helps if you haven’t tried that already.

Yes, here's a walkthrough that i found on "Medium"

Can you go the logs folder?

[naive dust]

im in /var/log

what should i open

[weary spindle]

First, can you go to the access tab, and regen the VPN file for exploitad

[weary spindle]

Have you done that?

[naive dust]

yes

i clicked it

couple times

[weary spindle]

Ok, go back to the attackbox and go to the directory /root/Scripts/

And then run ./pull_vpns.sh

[naive dust]

okay i did that

it throwed some errors

[weary spindle]

Can you show me?

[naive dust]

still no exploitad adapter

only this script added this adapter:
11: tun1: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 500

but this subnet is not probably exploit ad

because exploit ad starts from 10.200

[weary spindle]

They all start 10.200.

[naive dust]

okay

[weary spindle]

TUN2 is my exploitAD vpn

So I went to look at one of my completed paths and it shows 99% complete but room in the path has a check box next to it. any reason why this is?

[ember osprey]

You've probably missed some question in one of the rooms in the path , check all rooms again

Sometimes rooms receive updates in the mean time

[mystic rune]

I did check

every one of them have a check mark on them

[balmy kernel]

I've been having a rough time with some of the AD rooms- I'm currently on enumerating ad, and the credential distrubutor web page im told to navigate to in the attack box doesn't load

Hi again, im trying to access to the vm of one of the task from my terminal and i get stuck

im able to do the $sudo openvpn *****, i get into

and then i open another terminal to access with the ssh tryhackme@10.10..... and it doesnt work

thanks in advance

im all ears

[ember osprey]

Are you connected via VPN to THM network ?

[frank oracle]

how can i check that?

[ember osprey]

Have you downloaded your VPN file ? Are you running OpenVPN 🙂 ?

[frank oracle]

yes

[ember osprey]

Can you access http://10.10.10.10/ ?

[balmy kernel]

in fact it seems like my vm just can't talk to any of the machines in this task, or load the required page lol

[frank oracle]

yes

but when i do $curl 10.10.10.10/whoami i have no answer

[ember osprey]

Provide a ss of that page

[frank oracle]

you mean here in the chat? 10.21.134.119

[ember osprey]

Which room is this ?

[frank oracle]

windows fundamentals 1?

[ember osprey]

You don't need to ssh into that machine , use machine in split-screen view 🙂

[frank oracle]

-_-

okey, so there s no problem at all?

it is cause i cant go into in this room?

[ember osprey]

No , machine may not even have ssh port open

[frank oracle]

what does it mean, for a dummy?

[ember osprey]

Means that you can't ssh into it 🙂 . Machine should start in a split-screen view on THM website

[balmy kernel]

is site support not the channel to be reporting room issues? just wanna make sure im not doing something stupid, but i dont see how i could be

[frank oracle]

okey, thank u very much, and sorry for bothering

[ember osprey]

No need to be sorry 🙂

[ember osprey]

Have you added that domain to /etc/hosts ?

[balmy kernel]

i'll try but i didnt need to do that to connect to the network in the breaching ad room

yeah no joy, keep getting nxdomain

i reset progress, terminated machine, left room and rejoined, and it works fine now

thanks

[buoyant gulch]

thanks. i've wiped everything back to before the changes and decided to set the room aside for now and focus on some others in the hopes i can better understand it when i retry it.

Yeah , unfortunately 😦 . AttackBox may be your only option

My attack box mustve came back by now (hopefully) so ill just use it

Government blocks on VPN usage means users in those countries can't connect.

Is there not a way to bypass it?

Not ethically.

or is that somethingunethical as it's bypassing restrictions?

[acoustic mirage]

If i lost my streak, how can I contact the support?

[ivory spruce]

@acoustic mirage

[ember osprey]

Reach out using the email from above

[sudden skiff]

the AttackBox anything with firefox will not load nor anything that requires internet.

[ember osprey]

If you aren't premium user AttackBox doesn't have Internet access

[sudden skiff]

i have the Voucher premium for the SAL1

@ember osprey

[ivory spruce]

Have you applied the voucher? Does your THM status reflect you as a subscriber? Its relatively new so I'm not certain although I saw that it will require access to subscriber only rooms.

Maybe drop an email to THM Support as well?

[sudden skiff]

Well I went to look at a subscription and it said Active-Voucher and didn’t give me an option to buy

And I was doing the other rooms it’s just now that it is giving me issues

[ivory spruce]

Aside from the Internet access the the AB, what other issues are you having?

AWS rooms are accessible under a separate subscription

[sudden skiff]

It’s just the threat intelligence room

[ember osprey]

VM attached to that room doesn't have Internet access

[sudden skiff]

Then how do they expect me to use the phishing tool?

[ember osprey]

Use thunderbird client to inspect emails

[sudden skiff]

For the second and third one they want me to run it through virustotal

[ember osprey]

Calculate the hash of email using md5sum cmd and search for that hash on VT using your local machine

Can you please verify and provide a shot of your RDP settings 🙂 ?

[feral valve]

Where do I find my RDP settings?

Use remmina on AttackBox to connect via rdp

[feral valve]

I gave up trying to redo that room, I will do something else and retry later. Thank you

Hi i have one question, Can I download resources on my pc? I run Windows by VM on my chrome browser for Autopsy Analysis but i have so much lags on that VM that i cant work on it and i would like to complete this challange, thanks

[weary spindle]

THM suggest you don't take the resources from the VM's, in the event something happens and damages your system, THM are not liable.

[opal pelican]

thanks got it, so maybe is there any chance to speed it up? I believe my pc can handle multiple VM's, maybe different browser?

[weary spindle]

The VM's are cloud based, your specs won't play too much to do with it.

[vestal shoal]

Hello there, im new to tryhackme, when i start the attackbox, this error appears:

cannot paste a screenshot.
The error is : thmVNC encountered error:

[ember osprey]

Ignore it , just press x 🙂

[vestal shoal]

its a red banner, no X to press

[ember osprey]

Where does it appear , on AttackBox or ?

[weary spindle]

cc @zealous yoke

[zealous yoke]

this''ll be some sort of browser extension interfering with it. Try disabling things like adblock, anything that interfers with javascript, etc.

And try another browser such as chrome 🙂

[vestal shoal]

im using chrome, stopped adblocker, the others a crypto wallets, maybe i can leave them

the problem is still here

[zealous yoke]

Chrome is usually the best. Try accessing the site via incognito, and at failiure, trying something like firefox

[vestal shoal]

Do you have any troubleshooting for chrome?

[covert glade]

when i use burp suite on my pc and im connecting with a vpn to the THM and try to connect to machine its not uploud the full page, when i do normal reqeust to google or something else its worknig fine , only problem with http://10.10.4.230:8087/

i use burp sutie open browser and when i use any another browser its work fine the page uploud but not capture traffic

[ember osprey]

Install some proxy browser extension like Foxy Proxy 🙂

Also enable Interceptor in Burp

[little girder]

hi guys! i cannot connect to challenge sites anymore.
-i have not tested this with room ips yet
-when i try to connect to a http server taht should be open, i get a server not found error
-i can nmap scan an ip just fine
-it was working properly previously
-i ran the vpn troubleshooter, which found no problems
-i used the website's troubleshooting steps (killall on openvpn, rerunning the program, lowring bits)

ive tried to be as thorough as possible, but if any info is missing, ill gladly provide it

[ember osprey]

Try to change vpn server and download a new vpn file

[little girder]

will do!

[little girder]

uhm, how do i change vpn servers?

ahh

found it

huh, theres vip servers?

i assume those are a bit better, and i seem to have access to them, so ill grab those

the error seems to persist, but ill restart the target room jsut to be sure

i have bad and good news

it stilld oent work, but tehres a new error now!

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

[ember osprey]

can you provide a screenshot 🙂 ?

[little girder]

..sure, give me like five minutes to log onto discord with my vm

' ere ya go

okay i realize i should be using a room that im 100% sure has a webpage

i jsut confirmed that this does have a page

[ember osprey]

Can you show us your url ?

[little girder]

ofc

http://lookup.thm/

[ember osprey]

Have you added that domain to /etc/hosts 🙂 ?

[little girder]

i have nno idea what that means, so... no

[ember osprey]

You need to add custom domain such as that one to /etc/hosts

[little girder]

ah

[ember osprey]

Use nano /etc/hosts and add target ip and lookup.thm domain to it 🙂

[little girder]

i do also seem to remember that otehr rooms didnt work either, so i'm gonna do what you said but also try another room, jsut to be sure

[little girder]

not sudo nano?

issue still there, give me a sec to gather teh screenshots

my hosts file and the new page

it says unwriteable bcs i didnt sudo in, i did when editting the file

wait

found an issue

okay yeah its fixed now. or so it seems

do i need to reset lookup if i want to launch another room to check, or can i run two rooms at the same time?

(for the record, the new issue was that it automatically tried to https)

[weary spindle]

Did you add the website to your hosts file?

[weary spindle]

You can have up to 3 machines running at the same time.

[little girder]

I know, but Like- would I be causing server overload by- well no, I suppose it would be a lousy CTF platform that dies when Two machines are up at once

[weary spindle]

All vm's are hosted on AWS, so one person booting up 3 machines won't be an issue. 😄

[ember osprey]

Yeah below those

And yes , run it with sudo

[naive dust]

@paper sableHi, for some reason I can't start a new machine because "another machine is already up" and it doesn't mention which one. How can I stop the first one?

hey so quick question with the OpenCTI Room with that machine to go to the dashboard i cant access the dashboard :/ but pings go through

[safe rain]

anyone having issues with ye old VPN? i'm able to connect using a freshly generated openvpn us-vip west config, the routes are good presumably, but i can't for the life of me connect to the red team windowsinternals box.... +_+

[sudden skiff]

im having issues with even doing a damn room

[safe rain]

hrmm... can you reach the machine?

sounds like we have different issues.

[sudden skiff]

id send a pic but it wont let me

i can ping but i cant access the OpenCTI Dashboard

[safe rain]

oof

i wonder if this is a site support thing or room help. i'll keep yappin until told otherwise. hmm.... what port is the dashboard running on?

like, if you try to access: http://target_ip:port/ for the dashboard, does it work?

[ember osprey]

It's a windows machine , it doesn't respond to ping by default 🙂

[safe rain]

gotcha. i figured that was the case for mine. not sure about his.

[ember osprey]

You will have to verify first . You can learn how to do so on the link below 🙂
https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6495858-discord-how-do-i-verify-my-tryhackme-account

[ember osprey]

The reason nmap scan works is because of -Pn flag it will skip ping checks 🙂

[safe rain]

looks like that box is only available on eu-west VPN?

that's from the web interface on the thm website via the "attack box"

i'm on us vip west

i'll try to get on the eu-west vpn, but man, that's super annoying, just fyi

i got it working. i just had to connect to the EU VIP 1 vpn ez pz i'm a certified genius now

lol

[ember osprey]

It can take up to 15min for that machine to fully boot up

[stark idol]

That matter how big or how popular is that machine

Anyone using termux on Android

[ember osprey]

No , it takes some time to start OpenCTI and the machine has pretty limited resources so it is going to take some time 🙂

[stark idol]

Yeah 👍

[stark idol]

What u using laptop or mobile to do solve

[ember osprey]

It doesn't have anything to do with your hardware , THM machines run on cloud infrastructure

OH. now that im here anyways, why not solve the reasown i dont use my attackbox priviliges? Somethings mfs decides to die when i use tab. no autocoplete, no further input- nothing

[ember osprey]

What do you mean 🙂 ?

[little girder]

i mean that- this is hard to explain. sometimes ill try to autocomplete in the mfsconsole via tab and it jsut.. doesnt

and then it refuses to register my key presses

ill have a better explanation when it hapepns again

[deep pebble]

I just did the room "Vulnerability Capstone" I have tried with all the available exploits that I can find online, none of them work, so I checked in a writeup and they had the same problem with the exploits that are available via the usual sources that are mentioned in the rooms before, the exploits that the writeup used were no longer available on the source they indicated. Very frustrating..I have tested both via VPN and attackbox

Hello guys Im having problem with za.tryhackme.loc AD network

i cannot resolve their DNS, this problem come from yesterday, I was connected to the THMJMP1 with ssh until the network disconnected from my Kali VM, impossible to ping the machines with the VPN, when I'm on attackbox I can ping but not resolve the DNS even after following the steps

its about those 3 rooms : Credentials Harvesting, Persisting Active Directory, Exploiting Active Directory

There's a problem with Task 4 in the Windows Event Logs room. The questions reference examples 8 and 9, but they don't exist on the current page. It only shows 3 numbered examples.

[oblique drum]

I am trying to solve blue ctf on tryhackme but whenever I try to exploit it I am not getting exploited. I also tried downloading videos from youtube but everything is going well but when I try to exploit it it is just loading and nothing is progressing beyond that.

[grand star]

I'm not sure about this, but ChatGPT recommended this for THM OpenVPN:
" Note: cipher 'AES-256-CBC' in --data-ciphers is not supported by ovpn-dco, disabling data channel offload."

Since AES-256-CBC is not supported by ovpn-dco, OpenVPN falls back to userspace processing.
This means higher CPU usage and slightly lower performance, especially on high-speed connections.
Potentially Higher Latency
Increased Power Consumption (Mostly on Low-Power Devices)

Or I have old version of THM openVPN

[oblique drum]

plz how to slove this issu

Out of curiosity, if you're a regular AttackBox user, how often would you see this roughly? I.e. 90% of time, 20% of the time, etc? Maybe every 2 out of 8 machines

You don't need to do that on AttackBox , db is already initialized there 🙂

[nocturne vault]

thanks for the answer, then the room is misleading since it reads :

Note: In case you're using the AttackBox, you may skip to the Preparing our Environment section.

Skipping to the next section, but seems that the armitage server still doesn't start :/ :

Here's how to fix this:

1. Try setting MSF_DATABASE_CONFIG to a file that exists.
2. Did you use sudo to start this program? Try sudo -E
3. Kali Linux 1.x users, try this:

    service metasploit start
    service metasploit stop

Kali Linux 2.x users, try this:

msfdb init at preferences.sl:184

Then I cant connect for some time after that happens

Maybe its my VPN region ? cause didnt happen befor etoday

Been doing the room and the target for past 2-3 days

Why haven't they refunded my money yet? I've been waiting for a refund for about a week.

Already

But they answered so well. They didn't answer at all.

[ember osprey]

They will as soon as they can probably , only they can help you with payment related issues

[abstract pulsar]

It's cool to charge for a monthly subscription, and now not get a refund.

[ember osprey]

You will once they respond, be patient please , queue is long

[abstract pulsar]

Monthly Membership Subscriptions: Monthly subscriptions to TryHackMe are billed in advance and are non-refundable for the subscription period they are purchased for. The subscription renews automatically at the end of the term if not cancelled before the renewal. When you purchase a subscription, you agree to a renewal charge for the service, whether it is monthly or annually. This is explained on the Why Subscribe page where you select your plan. If you choose to cancel your subscription, you will still have access to the service for the remainder of your billing cycle, but you will not receive a refund.

That is, I wasted my time and money. What did I pay for? For air. I waited for an answer and a refund, so that if anything, I wouldn't waste my time and get a refund, but no.

[ember osprey]

Well , everything is stated clear here I don't know what's your point , I gave you the support email for any further questions reach out there

[abstract pulsar]

They made me wait and waste my time and money. I didn't even use anything on the site from paid and free services to get a refund. Ok, no worries.
The support here is amazing, I have nothing bad to say about you. If the purchase was in the first 2 weeks, which I was happy about, oh I'll cancel it now, I forgot to turn it off, and I don't use the site. And now this is the reason from the site.

[quasi galleon]

Hello, I have been unable to open up target IPs for any of the rooms that I have been on today. I have a premium subscription. I also downloaded the YAML file to get hooked up to the VPN, but I haven't been able to use SSH from my windows machine to access any of the boxes as well. Just a little stuck and looking for some help. Thank you in advance

Is there any way to gain access to workspace with a SSO account?

[buoyant falcon]

Question: there are about 930 rooms currently available on the platform. Yet I see players in the Top 50 of hte leaderboard that are in over a 1.000 rooms. How is this possible ?

[ivory spruce]

As I understand it, there are rooms that were retired, rooms available only for business users and those marked as private (accessible only to select users).

[ivory spruce]

What room are you working on exactly? How are you connected to THM OpenVPN and OS you are using?

[onyx yarrow]

Does anyone know what the size requirements for the team avatar icon is? I keep getting a generic upload failure even after sizing down to 76x99px

Hi

[hazy sierra]

Phone only I tried fake bank hack what’s next?

[ember osprey]

Many old rooms have been put to private/deleted in the mean time . I know at least about 10-20 which aren't available to other users anymore 🙂

[ember osprey]

Absolutely - yes 🙂

[ember osprey]

I think that max is around 2mb . Try to use .jpg or .png format . Refresh the page or restart the browser if the problem persists 🙂

[weary spindle]

Are you on Windows/MacOs?

[tiny mica]

mac

[tiny mica]

i always connect to the regular vpn no issues.

alright i figured it out. because apparently this room uses an outdated crypto algorithm.

This error message is from OpenVPN, and it indicates a problem with the encryption cipher configuration.

Key Issues:
crypto_alg: BF-CBC: bad cipher for data channel use
BF-CBC (Blowfish-CBC) is an outdated and insecure cipher that newer OpenVPN versions no longer support by default.
If the server is still using BF-CBC, the client fails to establish a secure connection.
Client terminated, restarting in 2000 ms...
The client is trying to reconnect but fails due to the bad cipher configuration.
Fix:
Check the OpenVPN server config (server.conf) and update the cipher:

can you guys update the cipher, i had to change my client settings to allow insecure ciphers. so it works for now

[ember osprey]

Try to report it in #1333993673381253162

[weary spindle]

Is this from ChatGPT?

[tiny mica]

yes

but it is correct. changing openvpn settings to allow insecure connections let me connect to the vpn network.
