right now I have the same like you, as per first screenshot
but RDP workaround works (second screnshot)
yesterday, for another Windows room (Lay of the Land), I also had an empty pane on the right intially, but it came OK after retrying (and sometimes having to wait a lot, like 20 minutes?):
- #room-help message
- #room-help message
I would suggest, in order to manage your nerves, for these Windows VMs that are supposed to open in Split-Screen, go straight for RDP, and you will have a quieter life ๐
which VPN servers have you tried so far?
if i'm not mistaken, eu regular 1, 2 and 4, eu vip 1, us east regular 1. i've benn trying to connect for a couple of days, always regenerated the configuration file and downloaded a new one when switched servers
I have just tried for me with EU-Reg-3, as per screenshot
I suggest you first regenerate the VPN file, wait a 1-2 minutes, then download and run it
share the output here please
ok, i'll try
I am facing the same issue in the Atomic Red Team Room. What RDP Tool do you use to connect?
if you using THM AttackBox, you have remmina (GUI tool) and xfreerdp (CLI tool)
these tools are very common, and are available for Kali too
Thank you! I'll try connecting via RDP then

hello I am getting this error while using hashcat, is there any solution for this or wayaround?
ya
I thought you were a mod
thanks

but remmina most time doesnt work for me ๐
I found it easier than xfreerdp at the beginning
now, I kind of systematically use both remmina and xfreerdp, and usually nothing weird for me (except for my frequent typos ...)
also, I use THM AttackBox most of the time
just sharing my experience here, as I am interested to realize it is not the same for everyone ๐
mods have a blue shield when you look at their Discord profile, like for KGB in the screenshot
but mods are not THM staff, they are THM users with a special role assigned to them by THM (which is the organization that set up THM Discord and manages it)
mods have a special link to THM, but they do not have the means to correct things wrong with THM rooms, as far as I can see
more generally, I think users think that by echoing to THM Dicord the problems they encounter with THM rooms it will be taken care of by THM That may be so, if THM staff comes around, passively or actively, which may be the case, but the sure way to pass a problem to THM is to contact THM suppport which works by email (support@tryhackme.com)
Is it me or are the Velociraptor servers hard to reach? I've been trying to start them but can't seem to connect with them.
still no connection 
some countries make it difficult to use VPNs (like Egypt or China)
what is the situation in the country from where you are connecting?
Brazil, no problems with VPNs here
what is the environment where you are connecting from: home, work, public, library, school/university, etc.?
home, downloading the configuration file in a windows pc and copying it to a kali virtual machine
let's consider your computer is OK and let's turn to the network
do you have an option of using a different network? for instance, some users, for troubleshooting this kind of issue, set up a hotspot via their smartphone to attempt their VPN connections Can you do that?
i'll try that now
still no connection
lol think it was my fault
had a vpn enabled just for torrents
turned it off and the openvpn connection was completed
sorry for the trouble
thanks for the help!
where had you configured these settings? just for me to learn ๐
had a split-tunnel enabled on the kapersky vpn app and only qbittorrent was supposed to go through the vpn. when i turnned it off and tried the openvpn connection again, everything worked
thanks for that feedback, useful to consider for next time something like this comes up

I am not able to ping any machines while being connected to vpn
can you ping 10.10.10.10?
please fix the tempest room it is very hard since the attackbox crashes every hour and the machine reconnects every 20mins

Hello everyone, buying vouchers doesn't available anymore? It's was good for my team, cuz initial order for enterprise very high for me
Yeah, not available anymore.

Why is it smoother to go through the AttackBox > Remmina > Windows VM than just going direct to the Windows VM?

Hey TryHackMe Support Team,
I need some help with a room I created on TryHackMe called "Simple Dimple." I submitted it over 6 months ago, and itโs still stuck in the "Submitted" status. Iโve reached out via email support but havenโt gotten a response. Could someone please check on the status or let me know if thereโs anything I need to do? Thanks for the help!
is there something that does not work for you at this stage?
I think it does
It can take up to a year for a room to get evaluated
Try to reach out to support to see if they can do something
can anyone give me some pointers as to how i should use kali linux because attackbox is not going to work out for me
there was a cool reddit post describing the steps but i think i lost it
hey. in linux fundamentals 3, when locating the โout of the ordinaryโ processes, i cannot find the one, can anyone throw some pointers? i seriously feel stuckโฆ i have tryhackme+, root, daemon, message+ and systemd+, but nothing more
i wont lie i just did this and i stuggled with this. i took a cheap shot out of this one because i saw the quiz answer.
I was unable to bring the process to the foreground
yeah i cant bring any of them
from my understanding it should have been fg {processID
when if you run the command to display a list of processes the answer is shown but not the way they intended i dont think
ill try to understand what theyre trying to make me do lmao
if you figure it out let me know because i finished pt3 like 5 min ago
lmao just found out
the flag is in the ps aux output
i thought you need to find the process and foreground it
but it was there all along
sigh
how does one read a .db file without downloading it
nevermind i realised i could
Can anyone share the guideline on writing walkthrough? I see a lot of people have written walk through what is offical stand of TryHackMe on that
anybody else having problems with THM today?
First my VPN started to glitch out in the middle multiple times.
Its just you
And now a simple nmap scan is taking 20 min
You have to change opevpn and test it with cmd ping command
If have trouble connecting
connection seems fine, can even connect to 10.10.10.10, got an IP and all
Try clearing cache of your network might help
Flushdns
Idk if this solve ur problem
Two options you can do troubleshoot your own network if this fine that means the ovpn server is the problem
tried earlier, now once again, too. no change
seems like a server issue to me. my own network seems fine,
thankss though @harsh shale
I suggest you run THM VPN troubleshooting script: https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting
please screenshot results here
thanks for hte feedback
I was hoping you had a MTU issue, that the script would address, and that would make the connectivity better, but it appears that is not the case
Gave +1 Rep to @undone sierra (current: #3175 - 1)
not necessarily
what is that room?
Easy Peasy. A challenge room
I did it the other day
nmap should be very short
can you ping the target IP?
yeah
what is the latency for the ping?
hmm, just noticed now that you mentioned it, that's quite a bit. averaging around 500ms
maybe switch to another VPN server and compare the latency you get then?
I have 100 ms latency on my own instance of Easy Peasy, using EU-VIP-2
maybe use that one?
you can use the IP of my instance for now if you want to compare
will try that ๐
still getting 400ms latency, even after switching, both on your instance and mine... looks like there's a problem on my side ultimately
thanks for the help @upbeat quarry
Gave +1 Rep to @upbeat quarry (current: #11 - 898)
rerun the troubleshooting script, as you changed VPN server
we are after the MTU issue, which depends on network condition
never hurts to run it I would say
please share the results, I am curious ๐
better, but not that great
...yeah
are you geographically far from the EU region?
yeah. earlier i was using the IN server, the closest to me, but that was giving 500ms latency
is that poor experience of THM VPN new as of today?
yeah
did experience this one or twice maybe, but that was months ago, and it resolved itself fairly quickly
can you try to use another network? maybe your ISP connection is part of the problem?
just for a test, for instance, set a hotspot on your smarphone, and check the latency that way (run THM VPN troubleshooting script there too)?
my instance of Easy Peasy just died, I am restarting it, maybe the same for you?
no, still have an hour left
Hi,
I'm doing the SOC Level 1 > Endpoint Security Monitoring, and most of the machine rooms seems to be down:
Intro to Endpoint Security โ No VM needed.
Core Windows Processes โ VM is located in US EAST(N.Virginia); works 100%.
Sysinternals โ VM is located in Europe (Ireland); Down -connecting to the remote machine results in a loop.
Windows Event Logs โ VM is located in Europe (Ireland); Down-connecting to the remote machine results in a loop.
Sysmon โ VM is located in Europe (Ireland); Down-connecting to the remote machine results in a loop.
Osquery: The Basics โ VM is located in Europe (Ireland); Down-connecting to the remote machine results in a loop.
Wazuh โ VM is located in Europe (Ireland); Down-connecting to the remote machine results in a loop.
Monday Monitor โ VM is located in Europe (Ireland);Down - connecting to the remote machine results in a loop.
The only thing I notice is that all these VMs are in Europe (Ireland), and it affects 6 rooms, so I donโt think this is random.
so did I, but it was not responding to ping, from my Kali or from AttackBox, nothing
thought maybe there was a problem with my network, but tried this, connectivity seems fine
from the new network even
switched to my more stable network, and tried the troubleshooting script(gave ok results, nothing on MTU even).
then again tried ping, all packets dropped
Systinternals is definitely down, check this: #site-support message
for all these rooms, most of them are Windows I believe, do no waste your time trying to get the connection in Split View (right pane window), instead use the alternative method of RDP (maybe sometimes SSH)
a lot of users have reported the same experience (you can search Discord for the past 2-3 days)
Allright good i'll skip this and no rdp can't work either cause it come from the same server.
not sure I understand the issue with rdp: it works for me and lots of others
maybe this is specific to your setup?
another possibility in that case would be to use THM AttackBox, and RDP from there (that is what I do), but then it is best if you have a THM subscription, as otherwise you are limited to starting THM AttackBox once per day for a max of one hour
Gave +1 Rep to @ember osprey (current: #1 - 5960)
I do not know the conclusion from here
let's try something
@ember osprey : hi sorry for the ping, we are trying to solve a poor VPN performance with FictionGuzzler (see messages further up):
- ping latency is >300 ms
- nmap is miserable (we are using Easy Peasy for target VM)
- applied THM VPN troubleshooting script for MTU issue
- usually IN (India) VPN server was OK, but not today
- other servers so far are not better
Thanks if you can help ๐, like recommending a better VPN server

Hey i cant start an windows vm its just an blue/dark blue screen and it tries to connect again from time to time. Already terminated it more than 3 times
Had the same issue at the linux fundamentals but there i got it working after a few tries here it just refuses to work
is this Windows Fundamentals 1?
it seems to work for me at the moment, as per screenshot
lots of Windows machines currently have similar problem however, and it is best then to use RDP as a workaround to connect to the target using the creds from Task 3
any issues with the servers today?
cant see remote server, keeps saying connecting to remote server but no desktop showing within the split screen
which room? is that a Windows machine for the target?
https://tryhackme.com/room/btredlinejoxr3d
Redline - Yes its a windows machine
@upbeat quarry
I do not have personal experience with that one
however, several Windows machines currently have a problem coming up in Split View, and it is best to use RDP as a workaround then using the creds provided in the room
for RDP, you can use common tools like remmina (GUI) or xfreerdp (CLI), both available on THM AttackBox, but also Kali
Just wanted a bit of vibe labbing before bed. Cba to pull the kali box out ๐
Redline came up for me in Split View, as per screenshot
maybe it is a matter of trying a few times for that one? no guarantee
Tried quie a few times now ๐ always used the same browser etc and no changes made. Having an unlucky time
Thanks for trying though @upbeat quarry
Gave +1 Rep to @upbeat quarry (current: #11 - 903)
It's finally working โค๏ธ
most other Windows target VMs however never come up, and RDP (sometimes SSH) is the only way for the moment
also, do not try "Sysinternals": that one wil not work either way, again for the moment
Why are servers being such a pain in the ass to connect?
which ones? are they Windows targets?
Trying to do Unattended. I think it is a Windows target
Tried RDP as well but no luck.
Full screen keeps me disconnecting from the server.
for RDP, are you using THM AttackBox or THM VPN?
The AttackBox
RDP to Unattended works for me using THM AttackBox as per screenshot
for RDP I use remmina What do you use?
what do you mean? Server Region?
Yeah
I do notice though it shows the screen for a split second like the winlogon and then complete black. This happens while using RDP on the AttackBox
US-East (Virginia)
Oh damn, I'm in EU (Ireland servers)
I am pretty that will not matter, I have switched repeatedly between regions over the past few days/weeks to experiment
I managed to connect to the windows event logs one through attack box but the logs are completely different to the ones needed for the questions. had to watch walkthroughs etc and the logs look completely different
I tried pinging the target IP address using the AttackBox but it takes far too long to respond. Not even a single time out.
Oh? You can? I haven't done that yet. I think it's from the settings correct?
Or VPN if we feelin fancy.
I have highlighted here US-East in my current instance
I'll switch to Europe and try RDP again
Ima instead change server regions. I have been dealing with this issue for days now. I even wasted time being stuck on the redline room cause the damn server wouldn't load up
Aight, lemme know if you got any issues.
Server Region is under Profile > Manage Account > Account Details
do not confuse with Access via OpenVPN though
No worries, I've already managed to change the server region
Update: Changing server regions solved the issue, I can connect without issues without using the RDP. Launching the machine and split view was more than enough.
Looks like Irish servers are ass ATM
interesting result
2-3 weeks ago, there were a lot of issues of that kind, and often, like for you now, switching from US-East to Europe helped, but that stopped being the case like 10 days ago
BTW, I am also on Europe now
notice the difference in the IP format:
10.10.X.Xfor Europe10.201.X.Xfor US-East
For now it's my first time changing regions maybe that's why it works for now
But yeah, both servers are under 10.10 for EU and 10.201 for US
Respectively
Weird case ngl. If that stopped being the case a week ago but still works for me
2-3 weeks ago I was going just fine with Ireland servers.
Both Linux and Windows target servers
my feeling is that THM infrastructure is constantly evolving
for instance, the Server Regions is a new thing from late August, and came with a lot of lagging issues on US-East
now, lots of Windows machines are not coming in Split-Screen, and that started appearing about 4 (?) days ago
that will get fixed, of course, but I suspect the deployment of the current evolution will first have to finish before the fix solves it all
and BTW, check this: #site-support message, hence this week is going to be slow on THM side for fixing issues
I see. So we wait for October to get those stuff fixed.
As long as there's a solution that's all what matters. Thanks for your time and help Shy1. = )

RDP is the workaround for the blank screen issue of these Windows rooms
for which room is RDP failing for you?
the only room of that section not working at all for the moment is "Sysinternals"
How do we send ECHO feedback in now?
e.g
if you use 'cat /var/log/auth.log | grep "sshd"' in a room it will tell you hey you should be using 'grep "sshd" /var/log/auth.log ' but then all the rooms have examples with 'cat /var/log/auth.log | grep "sshd"' not what echo is saying.... pretty much echo contradicting the teaching. (echo appears to be correct though)
Hello. In Windows fundamentals, WINFUN1.1 doesnt launch in the browser, says connecting to the remote machine and nothing else
it connects to ubuntu, but to windows vm doesnt
several rooms currently have their Windows machine come up with a blank screen instead of the normal Windows GUI
use RDP as a workaround to connect to the target with the credentials provided in the room

I don't put much trust in that script ๐ . Try to change it manually , I use EU-reg 3 works ok for me . If a user is from ๐ฎ๐ณ , maybe he can try IN , AU and US-WEST . Also there's a posibility that the problem has something to do with local ISP or his network config.
i tried to rdp from my pc but it also cant connect
Which issue ?
Conntact support on the email below
and with remmina it doesnt accept the password:(
idk how can i bypass this issue
oh it just randomly accepted
started up with attackbox
thank you โค๏ธ
each left click on the page and the virtual machines kept giving me a little box to paste something when I dont have anything copied
Ignore it just click x
Can you plase verify and provide a shot
mabye typo in the password?
use xfreerdp instead of remmina then to avoid typos as you can write the password on the CLI and so check it:
xfreerdp /v:10.10.213.73 /u:administrator /p:letmein123!
see the screenshot for a similar room, "Windows Fundamentals 2"
wait nvm it went away lol
@undone sierra check the feedback from KGB here: #site-support message
you're still stuck at the same point?
yeah, still stuck... very high latency, >300ms. Thought it might have been a temporary glitch yesterday, but it seems to be persisting. Even changes the MTU value, no difference.
Even tried ping-ing another room(Hacker vs Hacker), same situation. High latency
KGB suggested to change the MTU manually, rather than via the troubleshooting script You can do as per KGB message here: #subscriber message
BTW, what is your setup: Kali on Windows? no WSL right?
yeah, changed the MTU manually too, as per his sugegstion, still no change.
I am on a Kali VM on Windows host. I even thought there was a problem with my VM, so I tried from my host machine too(after connecting to THM network via VPN), but same high latency.
I do not have better ideas but these:
- workaround is to use THM AttackBox: that will provide you the best latency (I use THM AttackBox most of the time)
- further troubleshooting, but nothing smart here:
- are you happy with the current latency outside of THM VPN (on your host but also very much on Kali VM)? Worth using a tool to monitor that performance
- question current computer by switching computer
- question current network/ISP/router by trying other networks/ISPs/routers elsewhere where you can bring your computer
- has something changed on your current computer since the moment you had reasonable performance: OS, security apps (like antivirus, VPN app, any security "thing"), some app limiting bandwidth, whatever?
...yeah, seems like no other option but to use AttackBox for now.
- Yeah, my network is great, got a great upload and download speed(>120 Mbps), latency is also great.
- Dont really have another system I could try this on.
- Nope, nothing changed on my system, no new apps, setting configuration changes, anything. Just normal usage.

Hi, i read a lot of issue in here - but just to escalate the probleme here my status...
i am new in THM (3.day) and mastered my first rooms. Now i am stuck at Linux Part 1 - https://tryhackme.com/room/tutorial works mostly fine (Target and Attacker Runs) but i recognize an error while starting the Attacker Box Maschine: "Unable to mount 78MB Volume No .Filesystem or .Encrypted interface on D-Bus object. The The given volumne was not found" was mentiont. I pass this both and work on Tutorial - Success. If this error result to the main problem - dont know.
This brings me to the Linux Part 1 Failure - Task3 to start the Machine runs into a nearly blank screen (Connection to remote machine ... and ending in dark empty screen) . If Maximized it shows like this kind "Remote computer Error - connection close. Contact Admin ".
I tried several time - my port 22 ist open, latency is under 30ms - connection refused in 90% of time ... some times it works.
Please Fix this!
Hii, I have a problem since 2/3 days ago, most of the time I start the machine, after it loads the screen stays black and change to connecting and thats it, doesnt matter how long I wait or what I try my machines are not visibles

for the blank screen, I suggest you disable all browser extensions, clear browser cache and reload the page (Ctrl+F5)
About the error message you when starting THM AttackBox, you can click it away, it has not impact on anything You may have several of these messages
Thanks for your reply. Actually, I don't have any extensions enabled in my browser. Ctrl+F5 didn't improve anything. After having a good connection for 20 minutes, nothing has been working for quite some time now.

what is your browser?
Microsoft EdgeVersion 140.0.3485.81 (Offizielles Build) (64-Bit)
have you had the blank-screen issue even after restarting the target VM?
Even so - now i tried to recover (no termination) the connection to the TargeBox (sorry) and 10 min later i see now the unix prompt ... i will see how long this last ๐
maybe for the future, with Edge, as a test try InPrivate browsing?
also, could it be you have anything security-related that would affect your internet connections (antivirus, firewall, VPN, router, whatever)?
my personal experience so far is that some users I have interacted with have experienced an issue similar to yours for Linux Fundamentals 1, but that could be solved by disabling something, and/or reloading with Ctrl+F5
[Please note that, at the moment, several THM rooms have issues with accessing their Windows machines, and that requires using RDP as a workaround]
Iยดll keep in mind, thanks a lot.

Hey, need help with the target machine information not showing up after starting attackbox ? for context, I'm already connected to the vpn
when you have THM AttackBox in Split-View, check at the bottom left the i icon
I did but it's for the root user, for some labs, the tryhackme user is needed and I usually can access the THM user with the target machine ip - tryhackme@[target-machine-ip]
that kind of access is room-specific and would be docuemented in the room material
which room are you doing that requires that kind of access
linux fundamentals part 3, need to look for the apache2 logs on the deployable linux machine but I'm logged in as the root user, as of yesterday, I was able to receive the target machine ip for the other linux fundamentals labs.
maybe I am confused, but did you start the target VM on Task 2? doing so, after 60 seconds, you get the IP for the target VM at the top in the red header called "Target Machine Information"
with the IP you can ssh into the target using the creds provided in Task 2
Nope and thatโs exactly what happened, I started the attackbox before starting the machine. Since the site collapses all the dropdowns and jumps straight to where you left off, itโs easy to miss. But youโre right, I needed to go back to Task 2 and start the machine. Thanks so much for your help!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but has anyone else ran into what I am calling the Windows VM "Paste" bug? Whenever I use one of the pre-made Windows VM if I click anywhere within the website it puts up the "PASTE" shortcut and does not allow me to do anything else such as type or open applications. I thought it was just a one off bug but everytime I use a room with Windows I run into the same issue.

I tried to terminate,restart again but it doesn't work
by machine, I meant which room?
please give me the link to the room
My network connection is stable
Can you check it out?
Yo, i'm going through the room 'Moniker Link', the attackbox is running and i'm supposed to run responder -I ens5 to start a listener, however running the command is only giving me errors like "cat: /etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory", "File "/usr/local/bin/responder", line 58, in <module>
settings. Config. populate(options)"
The task doesn't talk about getting around tehse
you are using THM VPN?
I'm using the AttackBox
Thanks its working now i forgot to connect to vpn
Gave +1 Rep to @upbeat quarry (current: #10 - 919)
do systemctl start systemd-resolved so responder is happy
my view is that THM infrastructure is in constant evolution While it should not effect the existing functionalities, it seems to have an impact on the AttackBox for this particular area (DNS)
Sounds good, got it done so thanks
Hallo! I already paid premium, and Iโm a beginner, where I should start ?
im not getting the openvpn to work on my vm, it's installed but when i run the configuration file it gets stuck
head over here https://tryhackme.com/path/outline/presecurity
in the terminal it seems to be connected but on the website it says not connected
Gave +1 Rep to @fading nacelle (current: #531 - 13)
using linux?
yes kali
run ifconfig in terminal, do you get something for tun0?
yes
okay, so what makes you think it doesn't work?
on the website it says im not connected
where on the website, can you link? (or send screenshot, but you have to verify your account here first)
okay, so you get an ip within the 10.x.x.x range? But it says disconnected on the website?
you mean in the ifconfig? sorry im very new
is says not connected on the website
it's okay ๐
I wonder if you get an IP-address, if you check in terminal at tun0, does it say an ip there?
beginning with 10
yes
its the one that starts with 10
i just checked and so far im able to do rooms normally so maybe website is just bugged?
i was able to do nmap on a room
As long as you can connect to and interact with the machine IPs provided in the rooms you should be all good to go ๐
alr thanks for the help
Does Premium membership just have a few more modules than regular membership?
I don't know all the benefits by heart, but I think there is a ton more rooms for premium users
Premium has some extremely handy rooms that you won't get to learn about on the free tier
But after I paid, I didnโt find any different route options on the webpageโฆIf there were any better comparison routes, I was confused๐คฃ
can someone remove my role [0x7][Adept] from discord im trying to assign my new THM account but the bot tells me I cant cus I already have a token assign to disc acc. mention the old account was deleted
for some reason I cannot join this room
https://tryhackme.com/room/breachingad
I already left the previous room but still can't join this one
for this question task 5 Query: select name,install_location from programs where name LIKE '%wireshark%';
Hello, is the swag shop not working or disabled ?
Hi, what to do when an IP address of the deployed machine is not shown? I tried terminating/restarting, refreshing the page, leaving/joining the room again... nothing works. Is that specific machine not available anymore? It's this room https://tryhackme.com/room/axss, task 7
Hey, and i have the same issue on the room https://tryhackme.com/room/meterpreter (Task 5). Therefore it is probably not a problem specific to the room... Did you got it working again?
Ah, you're right. I've tried it with the machine that worked just fine yesterday and it has the same problem. So it looks like a bug on the whole website
Just joined to let you know about this problem. Glad you're already on the case ๐
Booted up a Windows VM on TryHackMe and it's smooth! Hopefully it's all of them and not just this one
The VMs are working as intendet. The target machines aren't. Won't get any IP Addresses. :/
I created a ticket about it :)
I just playand append 1 hour ... it's broke ... the machine die .. then i start the machine again it run for a few minutes after that start the machine the IP not showing till nows it was take more then 10 minutes
We all got the target ip adress missing issue?
Yes
ok thank you, gaming time then
Gave +1 Rep to @winged tundra (current: #3180 - 1)
Oh no ... CTF is my favorite game ... ๐ญ
Hey, are the machines working
I got Target IP Addresses again.
VMs where working but I'd recommend using your own VM and their VPN ๐
yes, same here, restarting worked now :)
Do you have a streak of at least 7 days?
That or either a subscription is required.
same, hf all
You can politely ask any Mod and they would be able to help.
Have you switched to the premium OpenVPN for subscribers?
Isn't it free for everyone? Or am I missing something? ๐ค
Hi
There are free OpenVPN servers and premium OpenVPN servers.
no ๐
When using premium OpenVPN, you get faster speeds and an initial target duration of 2 hours instead of one, among other things..
Thanks. I'm a subscriber but I seem to miss the link to the premium VPN
Gave +1 Rep to @ivory spruce (current: #12 - 869)
Those are the pre-requisites unfortunately.
There isn't any link for it.. go to access, select the OpenVPN server with the word "VIP" in it and download your OpenVPN config
Thanks! Switched to one now ๐
Gave +1 Rep to @ivory spruce (current: #12 - 870)
Can u tell me how to do it , I didnโt find any relevant words ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Do give your feedback if you felt the difference. ๐
Yes the main page i didnโt find any
OpenVPN i didnโt see this word๐คฃ
Not in Dashboard not in Learn and not in Practice, not in Compete 
Even my profile
Cannot see
Iโm sooo new in this field
Click on your Profile Picture > Manage Account > Access via OpenVPN
Browse on the lower portion of the screen where you can see the list of THM OpenVPN servers.
If you can verify your account and share a screenshot, it will be easier to assist.
@dense girder
Cannot send a pic in here speechless
Did you follow the instructions on the link I shared?
Yes I followed this
^
Follow this link first and after doing so, you'll be able to share screenshots
See my private message
Your subscription may not have kicked in yet. Do drop an email to THM Support.
Yep i downloaded the configuration file and they sent me the link and nothing on there
I just remind sth , in fact I donโt need to Connect Open VPN cuz I already brought Premium membership?
OpenVPN just for normal user
the room has been updated and the answer you would find in write-ups is outdated
what was your answer? you can share it here inside double pipes, like this || secret ||, so as not to spoil for others
My streak was randomly reset even though I did do THM the day before
I had to waste 30 minutes doing a full previously done room just to get back the streak
You don't even have a streak freeze
Is the site having trouble rn?
looks like, cannot log in.
Also, is tryhackme logging you out frequently recently?
It seems to be more stable now, as long as i stay in my room. I just resubbed after a break, so i havent been logged out yet. But i'll document if i keep having problems
what is your OS?
Hi, just want to inform that my Writeup on Radare2 room has a link that no longer works
here's my updated one: https://finesseandstyle.github.io/writeups/ccradare2/
Windows
are you using the Community Edition of openvpn for Windows?
I think so
this: https://openvpn.net/community/ ?
OpenVPN has many developers and contributors from OpenVPN Inc. and from the broader OpenVPN community.
sorry i am not sure
I think I already purchased the Premium so I donโt need to download OPENVPN
I send them Email for request but none answer yet
I donโt understand why everyone downloads

do you have something like a About menu showing the version and other specs for the SW?
what I see on the web site is version 2.6 as per screenshot, but yours seems to be 3.7?
No there is no about menu
I will uninstall the current one and try with this
Version
Can someone explain
Iโm a Super Beginner even not working and studying in IT or computer

check this previous message, it contains resources for THM VPN, including a room on openvpn: #site-support message
You are using OpenVPN Connect.. please download the Community edition
I already installed Open VPN successfully and connected, but why should I do this Premium Route has its own vpn?
But the page did not show out any Premium routes
Who can use Todesk remote me and I donโt mind

I do not know exactly what you mean by Premium Route, I guess you mean being a subscriber
in order to interact with THM machines:
- you would not need THM VPN if you use THM AttackBox, regardless whether you are a subscriber or not
- you would need THM VPN if you use your own attacking machine, like Kali VM, regardless whether you are a subscriber or noT
Is site having issues rn? My vm wonโt connect and keeps failing to connect to server for some reason ๐
ya my kali just got crashed twice
Iโm on basics of wireshark ๐
Ah, maybe we have some misunderstanding. I mean, this is my first time using this website. I bought a 16 euro monthly Premium membership. Although my account shows that I am already a Premium member, I didn't notice any big difference. There is no web link information deliberately stating: This is the learning roadmap for Premium members.
Fs

misunderstanding indeed
I do not think there is a difference in environments between subs and non-subs, it is just that, as a sub, you have access to (much) more resources
for instance, if you look at the walkthrough rooms, where you have tutorials about cybersecurity stuff, you would have much more rooms available as a sub Check first sreenshot
you can explore the other tabs (modules, networks ,etc.), and you see that free users have less
also, about VPN, subs have access to more VPN servers than non-subs (the VIP servers)
more generally, if you go to https://tryhackme.com/pricing, and scroll down (see second screenshot), you will see a comparison between subs and non-subs, that should be more complete than what I have just descsribed
thx, i thought that after becoming a monthly subscriber, the premium membership line would be divided separately, but I didn't see this.
Gave +1 Rep to @upbeat quarry (current: #10 - 926)
thankyou it worked
The OpenVPN stuff is something you only need if you want to use your own OS or VM
You can always use the built in VMs on the site itself
You don't need OpenVPN for that
Cool
Yeah me too. Input lag can be frustrating, For the first two paths (Pre Security and Cyber Security 101) the provided VMs should be enough. But after that I'd recommend switching to OpenVPN
The frontpage is listing a room XDR: Operation Global Dagger but if I try join the room, there is no content
I just discovered I have the same probleme
hey guys when i paste tryhackme' s target machine ip in my kali browser they didn't open the website didn't load also i am having fast internet connection and almost tried everything for the fix even i tried on parrot os also the problem is same can anyone have the fix of this ?
Hey,
I applied a 1-year voucher that showed my sub active until 2026, but when I tried cancelling my Premium Monthly, it glitched. Now my voucher dropped to 2025, Premium still shows active, and it even tried to charge me.
Iโve sent screenshots to support, but has anyone else had this happen? Did they fix it for you?
Same here. Nothing appears on either Firefox or Safari.
same
Send an email to support
This is likely due to them requiring the cloud-access subscription. Usually these room redirect to the cloud access page but this one doesn't seem to do so.
hi, i deployed a custom private room with a vm instance of an AD machine. Everything works well except I can't WinRM into the machine. Anyone have any fixes for this?
Oh and I tested this locally beforehand and it is supposed to work
I suggest you ask a mod, like KGB, to have access to the room creation channel, where other room creators may have encountered that issue
When using vpn, I do not get the sites to work properly. However if I am using the attackbox then it works fine. With VPN, the pages do not load completely are are stuck. I have cheked that the packets are going out of correct interface but there is no reponse back from the machines and only some packets are getting response. What can I do?
you may have the MTU issue
I suggest you run THM troubleshooting script available here: https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting
Anyone?
Even they have this
maybe this helps: https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6596150-how-do-streaks-work
What is the streak system? How do you maintain a streak? What are the benefits of a streak?
Is something weird going on with TryHackMe? I'm in the middle of doing SAL1 and the whole thing seems unresponsive?
I just got logged out of THM, and I cannot log back in ๐
I think I am very close to giving up with tryhackme
I've lost 20 minutes in this exam already
just logged back in, outage of 2-3 minutes ๐
which exam? easy for me to say, but maybe combine this with some rest? do not lose your composure
SAL1
I can't restart the timer so I'm getting screwed over
I'm going to get back to it, but with how unstable the system is, 2 hours is not enough
yeah and i didn't have the option to restore the streak by completing a room I almost completed my first 30days streak
did it happen to anyone before like can it be solved or did I just lost money on that yearly plan.
Thanks, it seems it was due to VPN
Gave +1 Rep to @upbeat quarry (current: #10 - 932)
is website down my openvp is retrying
anyone
initial sequence completion is not happening
I got kicked you of THM while on AttackBox, and got back in after 2-3 minutes
testing THM VPN, I can use it, with my previous VPN file (EU-VIP-2)
maybe regenerate your VPN file?
i tried
my auth cookies got expired and why it is not itself getting logout if the auth cookies are expired
i again re login and it worked
Thanks, I will try and let you know if my issue is not fixed.

when I try type or move my mouse and it keeps saying "paste" how do i fix this??๐ญ I did not copy anything either
using Firefox?
Yes but it also does it on google I believe
it only happens when I use rooms with windows/linux vms
Doesnโt happen when I use attackbox
about google, you mean Chrome browser I guess?
I would be interested if you could confirm Chrome behaves the same with that paste popup
however, check this past message (#site-support message), which corresponds to my experience If you think this is wrong, I would very much appreciate your feedback, as I have shared that message with several users before ๐
about windows vs. linux VMs:
- I find the issue is more a nuisance with Windows VMs than with Linux VMs, to the point of going to Full-Screen or switching to Chrome
- it also, happens to me with THM AttackBox, but just like another Linux VM
hi, im during my pt1 retake, and everything is filltered, even in the webapp i cant access the trybankme app, because its filltered by firewall, what should i do? i tried to restart network and attackbox and still nothing
yes it behaves the same in chrome & firefox
i tried to full screen along with playing around with my touchpad settings nothing helped lol
interesting: thank you for that feedback
I suggest that, while you test, you disable all extensions Also, better use private/incognito mode And clear browser cache before reloading, and checking again

Hi there, I have recently brought a Macbook Pro so I can do these on the go and have a separate machine to my gaming rig which is windows. When i am trying to copy and paste from and attack box to answer a question I am unable to.
any ideas what this could be down to
check GIF to copy to AttackBox
The attackbox this was on was just a CLI, and was the lab Hashing basics.
I prefer typing the command however couldn't copy the hash from the cli to the answer so had to type the hash in manual. If it's not possible no worries. I know it was possible in Windows however could just be an apple thing.
thanks for the reply however
so the target VM was a text-based terminal appearing a black screen, right?
to copy from that VM a piece of text:
- select the piece of text with the mouse
- press enter: the piece of text is in the clipboard and can be pasted in that same black terminal with Right-click or to another window using the appropriate command
So yeah it's a text based terminal environment,
I tried the enter and I am able to right click and the text is there however still unable to do Command + V to paste it into the answer field
Figured it out. It's safari, downloaded opera and it works
No recruiting in here please.
hey did the "group" feature for student accounts get removed? I cant seem to find it.

I'm having some issues with this room. Whenever I log in to different accounts, they all end up becoming the same account, so I have to keep logging out and back in to see the results. I guess that wasn't the intended experience. It happens in both Firefox and Burp Suite.

Hi, i need help.
Iโve been unable to log in to my account for the past few days. When I try to sign in with Google, I receive an error saying that my account is not connected to Google - which is not correct, as Iโve always used Google to log in.
Does someone know this problem and can help me fix it?
Hey how is attackbox working? Like if i switch my VPN to nearest location - will it speed up? Will latency go down or its irrelevant of that fact? [P.s - using AB after idk years as i dont have PC anymore]

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 117ms, Maximum = 118ms, Average = 117ms
that is good, looks like you are connected
can you browse to 10.10.10.10?
Yes. When I go to the website I receive:
Unable to connect
Firefox canโt establish a connection to the server at 10.8.49.234.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computerโs network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Zen is permitted to access the web.
you should receive something like this (borrowed from a previous message):
If you can see this page, you're connected to TryHackMe
flag{connection_verified}
Your VPN/TryHackMe IP is: 10.8.49.234
so, that is good, looks like you are connected to THM VPN
your latency of 100 ms (as per your ping output) is not great, but manageable
Yeah, but I'm not able to connect to my tageted machine, it gives an "Unable to connect" Error
which room are you doing?
W1seGuy room
are you trying to browse to the IP? that would succeed if you have established there is a web server running on port 80 at that IP address, right?
Yes, that's correct. Is that something that I have to do manually?
the typical scenario of such a challenge room is that you are an attacker and you want to compromise the target from outside
for that, you use whatever you know
typically, you would start with a basic recon, using a tool like nmap
search THM web site for nmap: there are about 4 rooms just for that tool, and it is very good learning material
Well i'll be... 
Thanks - i'll check that out
Hi, can certificates still be changed after they have been issued? For example, if I change my username or want my name stored instead of my username?
Yes , they can . Send an email to support on the address below ๐

Quick question, for a boot2root machine that are uploaded on THM. Does the machine's environment isolated for each users or are they a shared machine ?
On which LLM model is based Echo?
it seems to be corrected now as per screenshot
I thought I would let you know, but also documenting for myself, so I can check back here next time it fails again ๐
nice
btw I hate (maybe) gtk-networkmanager which break openvpn-routes always. Using CLI openvpn routes won't mess but networkdamager is setting default route to vpn tunnel. In THM network there is no Internet.
There's nothing wrong with openvpn profile file if I read it right and know something about routes.
I always have to sudo ip route delete default (not using tun0 in command because that's enough). It's lowest priority route.
cannot access my virtual just now, where I'm doing that using Kali and XFCE
I had read a message by you earlier, which I did not really understand
and maybe here I do not understand completely the context
but the way THM VPN is set up is that only the traffic to THM VM (10.x.x.x) goes through THM VPN, nothing else, without requiring special configuration
Yep, that's how the .ovpn profile is setting it up. My networkdamager-applet is messing the routes, I guess.
for setting up THM VPN in Kali, I just use the CLI and openvpn command
there was a conversation by Scrubz long time ago about doing it with Kali GUI, but that was not recommended
Don't use GUI if not understanding ip route output.
I maybe should try to debug the exact mechanism, which is messing routes, and report bug respectively to upstream.
not exactly #site-support thing. Crypto-scam promo.
probably claude?
If you have something different than my screenshot, I suggest you reload the web page
oh yea, now it shows up
thanks!
but I tried reloading multiple times before, it didnt showed up those times, but it showed this time ๐

What make you think that?
Do you have any information or any pattern I missed?

hi, room https://tryhackme.com/room/win64assembly has a lot of broken images
I am opening an Attack box for Linux Fundamentals 2. I am unable to establish a ssh session with my room's provided ip address and have deduced that Echo support bot asks that I ask for help here.
"ssh: connect to host x.x.x.x port 22: connection timed out"
the latter
should I kill the instance?
you are using tryhackme:tryhackme for the ssh creds?
No. I was given through the prompt to use the ip address in the learning curriculum
some x.x.x.x address
I could not ping the target either
check this from room material
ping should work: please provide screenshot
sure
I keep forgetting the layers of code on these pages. I eventually was successful in connecting
maybe?
Stuck in the sysmon room. I'm running Sysmon.exe -accepteula and getting:
Failed to start the service:
The operation completed successfully.
I tried restarting the service but no luck. anyone else having issues? I tried running with the config file as well but same issue. Maybe i'm doing something wrong?
this is what I am getting:
- without the config file, the errror message appears normal
- with the config file, it runs OK Realize that the config file is in a different directory than
sysmon.exe
unable to accesss the machine ip i have tried several times but i am not able to connect with machine help to fix the issue\
anyone ?
I've been able to spin up the VM and connect to it within my attack box, are you still having trouble connecting?
have anyone completed the DevSecOps pathway
Anyone else have problems connecting to the THMBackup account in the Windows Privilege Escalation Room? The credentials don't work for me. I've tried rdp from the AttackBox, my own Kali, as well as runas
there are several target VMs in that room, make sure you use the one relevant to your task
I got it working now. It wasn't very clear that it's different machines for the different tasks. It's not helped by the fact that the buttons are "Start Machine" and not "Start Machine 1", "Start Machine 2", etc.
Yeah
yup ๐

you do not need premium, but as a free user you need a 7-day streak
ahhhh ok! that's the point. thank you very much ๐

maybe just clear browser cache and refresh
anyway, you can start THM AttackBox from another room, including this one: https://tryhackme.com/room/kali
looks like you are not using THM AttackBox, hence can you confirm you started THM VPN? If so, as a test, can you browse to 10.10.10.10?
Will try and clear browser cache and refresh, I'm on the free tier though so will try tomorrow
I am having trouble with an instance in Linux Fundamentals 3. The question is asking "What flag is given?" [for the deployed instance]. I have found two files that have a much higher storage usage, noting that either are possible candidates. Here is a screenshot of my discoveries:
The Echo bot is indicating that yes, libmultipath.so.0 is the correct filename, that the command 'ls -l /usr/bin/ is the pathing for the image above. I am just unsure as to how to find the flag the question is asking for
if this is about Task 5, it is about process, righ?
yes
some processes clearly stand out; one of them is 3 Gbs in size, the other 76k
mb*
you seem to be looking at files and their size, rather than processes
you have it in your screenshot, or part of it as the right part has been truncated
I do see it in my screenshot "/usr/lib/s" using such and such resources, but am not able to extract the THM flag
what stands out at first glance is the flag directly
upper case letters stand out
this is the only process with upper case letters from command 'ps aux':
๐ฅณ ๐ฅณ ๐ฅณ ๐ฅณ ๐ฅณ
why is it shortened here and not its continuous string?
maybe maximize the terminal window or use ps -ef or another option to ps aux?
after connecting the dots, the answer is THM{PROCESSES} not PROCES
I would imagine either working here Shy
Forget my request - i took workaround and solved the room itself ^^ Please change the link for future usability โฆ

i'm facing a problem in the Gobuster room ,i was working normally with my own machine but today it didnt work , so i though might be a vpn problem i went on the attackbox on THM same issue i restarted the nameserver machine serveral times but still , idk if the problem is with the room or with what i'm doing
here are the Attackbox idk what's wrong tbh.
Did you run an nmap scan to check if http is running at port 80?
the room tell to go there
It worked for 1 sec and then it stopped
still facing issues
Aahh..
Try the command described here while connected to THM OpenVPN - #site-support message
sudo: ip: command not found
% sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200

sudo: ip: command not found
Are you using your VM?
Can you share a screenshot?
Aahhhh.....
Do you have burp enabled?
i'm really lost on why it worked yesterday and not today o-o
So you are trying to resolve a domain(example.thm) but it fails?
Have you entered the domain in /etc/hosts? Thats crucial as otherwise there is no "connection" between IP and domain. There is no NS Server resolving the domain
i littearly just closed everything , and restarted it , copy pasted everything to make sure maybe i'm missing something and still it didnt work
and for some reason the attackbox and the machine just crashed right now.
no i'll test this
nano /etc/hosts and then enter <IP> example.thm
oh wait i got what you mean now , this ip is a dns server
No so it's your local resolve config. Because .thm isn't a valid TLD known by any DNS like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, you can't reach it. In the THM network there is also no Nameserver resolving .thm Domains. Thats why you need to directly let you machine know: "When entered example.thm I need to request <IP>"
oh yes and that's why i'm adding the machine ip i'm given into the DNS so it become a nameserver to resolve example.thm and offensivetools.thm
it's Gobuster: The Basics room

Maybe the website is not on port 80/443?
i just tested your machine on my broken attackbox and it worked
but i am not able to connect thhrough my desktop browser
you're on a vpn ?
i am not able to access through the machine on my browser i am connected with vpn checked 10.10.10.10 its shows connected
Also works for me. So have you requested: http://10.10.169.157/
but in attack box i am able to access the machine
from local its not working
any help
What room is it? Maybe thats a room requiring network vpn?
just from browser its not working
restart the attackbox maybe?
I restared 4 times , no time it work
It worked for 1 min and then stopped 30 mins ago
did it woks?
not working
idk whats wrong
http://10.10.10.10/whoami works for me
I tried other box also, not working
nope
https://futurevera.thm/ via browser or curl not working, but ping and others work
sry, my bad. Forget what I've said. The explanation in the room is whats correct. Can you cat /etc/resolv-dnsmasq?
XD that what i've been trying to say
Can you do curl -vv http://<target IP>?
curl http://10.10.81.211 is empty
What do you get when running ping example.thm?
goes to my ip6 address
If you are using a Mac terminal, how are you connecting to THM OpenVPN?
curl -v -L -k -H "Host: futurevera.thm" https://futurevera.thm/
- Host futurevera.thm:443 was resolved.
- IPv6: (none)
- IPv4: 10.10.81.211
- Trying 10.10.81.211:443...
- Connected to futurevera.thm (10.10.81.211) port 443
- ALPN: curl offers h2,http/1.1
- (304) (OUT), TLS handshake, Client hello (1):
via openvpn command, and that is wroking , http://10.10.10.10/whoami is working
Did you install it via brew?
yes
From this, it seems you can connect to THM, but not just on your desired target
Can you use your browser to connect to this?
which ?
I'm not sure why the sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200 command didn't work though..
What is the value of your $PATH environment variable?
Did you guys ban a lot of accounts recently? Why did my rank go from 20,000~ to 13,000~ overnight?
That's a solution if someone is using GUI openvpn for connecting THM.
Oh, wrong picture, not the solution.
This is the correct one.
the very first line is pointing a default route with lowest metric.
Not sure if it's explicitly settable via openvpn config profile, that no default route into tunnel.
from command line that's not a problem.
That's maybe network-manager-gnome but not sure about that.
thank you for documenting this, useful reference for future troubleshooting ๐

Im in the owaspapisecuritytop105w room
And as you can see the provided VM gives me a little headache. Wherever I click (inside or outside the VM) it gives me this paste button.
And I can't connect via Remote Desktop Connection. (I tried with my Windows OS. Now trying if I can connect with my Kali VM) - Update: I was able to connect via my Kali VM.
Anyone know why I can't open my attackbox on Hashing Basics? I was able to last night, but had to get to sleep so I quit halfway through the room, and now the button isn't even there.
check this for that paste popup issue: #site-support message
if the button does not show, maybe clear browser cache and refresh?
For sure I will try that thank you
That didn't work, but I went to a different room, opened an attackbox there, and refreshed current room, so I at least have it in split view now
Thanks. I did get a connection to the WinVM via my KaliVM. So I can do the tasks in the room without the hassle of a paste popup ๐

I'm not sure if this goes here or in room support. I'm working through Breaching Act ve Directory and the network appeared to be down. I have left the room and rejoined a few times to cycle through domain controller IPs and I can't ping the DC from attack box. Every time I rejoin the room the reset count is at 1 or 2 so it seems to be an issue across the module
when you leave the room, wait long enough (3-4 minutes) so that when you join again the DC has a different IP (the third octet should be different)
Anyone else having the issue of some rooms being so slow. Break out the cage?
Thanks, I have gone though 4 IPs at this point. I can keep trying though.
Gave +1 Rep to @upbeat quarry (current: #9 - 947)
terminate THM AttackBox before leaving, then join, then restart THM AttackBox
https://tryhackme.com/room/introtoshells
Anyone know why this has suddenly started to appear?
Not had an issue before
I do not have that
maybe check your Server Region under Profile > Manage Account > Account Details:there are 2 options, as a test do a switch (of course do clearing of browser cache and refreshing)
I have just checked for myself, and for both regions I can access that room
No dice. Either the network isn't provisioning or the attack box isn't getting access to it. Pinging the whole /24 subnet the network should be on gives me nothing. Ill check in again later.
weird
one more option: after you have joined a new network, go to your access page and download the VPN file for Breaching AD (to be on the safe side, regenerate it before)
then, back on THM AttackBox, run openvpn
before that, you probably need to do killall openvpn
one more thing, make sure at all times that the network is in the state of Running
for instance, when I joined the topology shown in the first screenshot, the network was Stopped, and I had to press Start to have it Running
the other thing is that it seems that all VPN files are missing from the AttackBox, at least for my instance: no wonder it kept failing for you, hence the alternative method explained in the previous message
I have gone through that alternative method for myself as per second screenshot
If things keep failing for you, I suggest you come back here and we go step by step in parallel so we know where the gaps are
Thanks! I'll give that a try.
Imgur has blocked the UK. I'm getting this in multiple rooms now.
I just started my journey on TryHackMe and so far its been going smooth, but today, whenever I Start the Machine (for example in Active Directory Basics) my browser bugs somewhat. I use firefox and every second there is this popup that says Paste and I can't write or scroll anymore until i click somewhere else and then it pops up again? When the Paste pops up this windows sound is played like when a window pops up in the foreground and you try to click somewhere else.
If I minimize the Machine the site works as intended but as soon as I go in split screen it starts happening again
just a guess, claude is far more stable as far as I know
It works in Opera as normal
Suggest posting it in #1333993673381253162
My guess is that they assigned points to SAL1 holders... Probably PT1 also... Like ~5000 points...
check this #site-support message
Hey chat, does the fake bank site
Work for anyone? It doesnt open up for me. It says that the site cant be reached
(sorry if its the wrong channel btw)
Hey, sorry if this has been asked before, but recently when attempting to use the attackbox on any room that requires it, nothing loads on the browser. I understand that the free version is limited, and was wondering if thats what causing this?
it works for me, are you doing something different?
maybe consider this suggestion: start THM AttackBox from this room: https://tryhackme.com/room/kali
it will then appear in Split View in other rooms
however, it should just open fine from pressing the Start AttackBox button anywhere else
my understanding is that, as a free user, you can start the AttackBox once per day for a maximum of 1 hour This means that, if you have used it once for , say, 20 minutes, you will not be able to open it a second time for the remaining 40 minutes
yea, it didnt work
it doesnt even come up as a site for me
any chance of a typo?
i even copied the link, when i do that it comes up as "site not found"

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Here I thought it was an issue with my account but the two paths Breaking Windows and Compromising AD have been such a bear to get through because the machines go up, I ping(works like 50% of the time), and then the next minute they're down.

I am having trouble on Windows Fund. 1, Task 6, question 1.

you should have 5 accounts, one of them clearly stands out
if you have something different, I suggest you restart the target VM

http2requestsmuggling room task 5. maybe someone can clarify my understanding. am i correct to say that the host header in the main request body is override via host rearrangement by the front-end, to host: app2? and is that a very common process by front-end? and that's also why we need to inject the real host in the payload before and also after the CRLF (\r\n)? thanks
sorry i will ask in room help ๐
please is there any help
You can try dropping an email to THM Support, but to my knowledge, monthly plans are charged in advance. They could help you with changing your plan for sure.

I'm having a problem with my openvpn using Terminal on Parrot Security OS running in a VM. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have downloaded 2 new files to try and connect. It is just not working for me. Any ideas?
Which profile, which command?
Are you running the HTB VPN at the same time?
no
I'm using the vpn file that I downloaded from THM
sudo openvpn [username].ovpn is the command I used. It runs but has several errors showing such as TLS Error: TLS handshake failed within 60 seconds
I also used killall openvpn and it was the only connection running. I had to use it to make sure there was nothing else running with it
and I'm using terminal as the root user
can someone help me to restart this network?
https://tryhackme.com/room/lateralmovementandpivoting
it is not working
and I am unable to reach any endpoint
Never mind, I fixed it. All I had to do was regenerate my vpn file and download a new one. Now it's working
rather than waiting for a reset on your current network instance, use the Options button to leave the room and join a few minutes later: you will be assigned to a different instance
drawback: you will have different IPs, hence you may have to update previous commands/scripts
let me try!

I had the same issue, hence I used RDP as workaround
not sure it is the solution, but avoid having both Full-Screen window and Split-View window for the target VM open at the same time, i. e. exit Split-View as per screenshot
@upbeat quarry finally!
I had to, leave the room. come back up. thanks for the suggestion.
then, regenerate vpn keys, edit ipv4, restart NetworkManager
btw I passed the comptia pentest+ exam this week so i gotta finish this path today !
BTW this may not be the perfect solution:
- by moving to a new network instance, you will face the potential issues of that instance, but of course you can keep hopping to other instances too
- by waiting for a reset of your current instance, you will get a clean environment
nothing is perfect ๐
true, thanks
what is the link for that room?
The machine for Linux Privilege Escalation Task 6 doesn't seem to have the required LD_PRELOAD environment option, nor gcc installed
When trying to login I keep getting redirected back to the login page? It attempts to go to the two factor page but just redirects back to login so I am stuck
and now I have been locked out for 5 minutes...
that part is provided as illustration, you will not be able to practice on the target VM
you can practice however in these other 2 rooms about Linux privilege escalation:
It's worked now, finally redirected me successfully to the two factor page after having to wait to not be locked out anymore
Hey. I'm in the webenumerationv2 room. I added the host to my hosts file and most of the time I can ping webenum.thm and it's IP.
But. There are a lot of timeouts happening...
It was like that from the get go. Sometimes I could ping webenum.thm/it's IP Address but I noticed that even there it seems to timeout every couple of minutes.
Given the directory list is quite extensive it would take hours to enumerate...
I suggest you run THM troubleshooting script: https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting

What do you mean "provided as illustration"? Task 6 (in https://tryhackme.com/room/linprivesc) has questions at the end. The text of the task only describes the exploitation of LD_PRELOAD. What is the expected method of privilege escalation for the questions at the end if not this method? Why does it say at the start "Note: Launch the target machine attached to this task to follow along. " if it's for illustration only?
aw now theres back an issue with windows just gives me a middle fingure again with "Shutting Down" while i was working on it lol in vm
im going try that
so far soo good, good thing i knew the command systeminfo | findstr /B "Domain" to get the Domain lol
just a thought, it used to make a difference, hence worth a shot
check your Server Region here: https://tryhackme.com/manage-account/account-details
you seem to be assigned to US-East, consider maybe switching to Europe (no guaratee, but if it helps, why not ๐ )
Oh ill also try that but being in NY probably wouldnt lag too much LOL
well its is working longer then last time, thanks very much @upbeat quarry , I think now is good time start drinking beer for me ๐
Gave +1 Rep to @upbeat quarry (current: #9 - 960)
glad you have a better experience
one more thought: switching Server Region may help for the moment, however I would just consider that a trick to deal with a glitch in THM infrastructure, certainly not a long term solution
In that context, check this comment today from cmnatic (THM staff), #site-support message
finally, if you are located in NY, US-East should be your natural Region with THM, hence I guess you will switch back to Europe later
BTW, IP addresses like 10.201.X.X belong to US-East, 10.10.X,X are in Europe
if it acts up ill consider that though, so far so good but as being this is a random occurance at least for me ill still keep an eye on this
I find that the presentation for Task 6 is not well structured
the way I see it:
- part 1:
sudowithsudo -land gtfobins - part 2: "Leverage application functions"
- part 3: "Leverage LD_PRELOAD"
the questions at the end of the task are about practicing the first part only
but for part 2 and part 3 you will not be able to practice: - part 2: the target VM does not have
apache2 - part 3: the target VM does have LD_PRELOAD for user

Hi, I've started the machine in the room. However, the VM does not launch. Please advise.
I tried subscribing for the annual plan and it says I should use another payment option, I'm from Nigeria, does anyone experience this too?
Im confused I used the cyber awareness deal that says you get 5 free months, but my subscription is only 12 months
Hi everyone, I'm facing issues with the thm attack box every other evening I do ctf with friends on my thm workspace.
If http port is open we usually go to the attack box browser and type http://machineip but whenever we do this it starts Autocorrecting to https: its been very annoying these past 2 days, when I do challenges alone nothing happens but when we start doing ctf's on the workspace it starts Autocorrecting
Does anyone know why?
Hi, Iโm having an issue with the CI/CD and Build Security room. I followed all the setup steps, but I canโt connect to http://gitlab.tryhackme.loc/. The browser always shows:
The connection has timed out
The server at gitlab.tryhackme.loc is taking too long to respond.
I already tried resetting the network, but the problem persists. Could someone check if the room is working properly?

It worked , ty

Hi there, is there anyone who could help me get back into my account? My 2FA stopped working all of a sudden. I'd like to get back to learning as quick as possible but it seems I'm now locked out of my account. If this was posted in the wrong channel, my apologies.
I have sent in a contact support form from the website as well
only support@tryhackme.com can assist you - they will get back to you soon!
Okay, thanks!
How do I send an image here? I can't. There's a problem with the Active Directory basics room.
