The room says 5, doesn't mean it's accurate. It's a ball park figure

rapid flax Dec 3, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

Do you think it'd be ready if you're able to ping it or do you think there'd be other services and such that would start up on that system? I'm just thinking for when I try and get on later boxes. I'd assume there might be other things involved that may need to startup.

uncut hound Dec 3, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

no

#

different services take different times to initialise

#

ping just means that it responds. Doesn't specify which service

#

Just run nmap as your form of knowing if it's up

rapid flax Dec 3, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

So then yes, it'd take x time according to services and their startup time

uncut hound Dec 3, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

it should go up in order of 111, 22, 3000

#

think that was what day 2 was for me

foggy blaze Dec 3, 2019, 4:36 AM

#

It says 3000 is up now, has the name of the site on the nmap but nothing loads int the browser :/

#

3000 has been loaded for 3-4 mins noiw

uncut hound Dec 3, 2019, 4:38 AM

#

are you doing ip:3000

rapid flax Dec 3, 2019, 4:38 AM

#

so you're using <ip>:3000 just like yesterday?

uncut hound Dec 3, 2019, 4:39 AM

#

If you do just ip it will take you to ip:80 by default and that will error

pallid gull Dec 3, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

Hello, I'm always kicked from the group since yesterday, everytime I join it, I'm kicked in an hour. What is wrong?

uncut hound Dec 3, 2019, 4:45 AM

#

Sounds more like a discord issue, this has been happening a fair amount recently with a few users. Audit logs have always been checked before and dont show any indication of being kicked

pallid gull Dec 3, 2019, 4:46 AM

#

Yes it's really weird. Hope this will be fix soon

crimson fog Dec 3, 2019, 6:14 AM

#

I can't run nmap on any of the 10.10.. ip addresses, like in RP: Nmap or in Blue

#

disregard that, now it works. I don't think I was being patient enough with letting the box load.

So my VPN keeps dropping out

#

Inactivity?

rigid oxide Dec 3, 2019, 1:59 PM

#

VPN will automatically expire after 30 minutes of inactivity

eager fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 2:01 PM

#

I'm not inactive though @rigid oxide

#

I'm actively connecting to a host and doing a gobuster scan

#

And it's been connected for less than half an hour

rigid oxide Dec 3, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

Do you possibly have two instances of the VPN up?

eager fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

Nope, only got the one VM going and if it was on the same host it'd fail to add the route

rigid oxide Dec 3, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Hmmm

eager fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Gonna restart the VM and try again

#

Because it says I'm connected still on Access

rigid oxide Dec 3, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

The access page can take a bit to update sometimes

eager fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 2:14 PM

Still showing connected

rigid oxide Dec 3, 2019, 2:29 PM

#

Run this by Skidy once he's on in a bit, he might have a better idea of some troubleshooting

eager fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 2:29 PM

It's working, I'm just getting HTTP timeouts rn more often than usual. Heading to a practical session and I'll try again later

#

hello... does the vm for christmas challenge 2 take more than 10 minutes to become available?

warm spear Dec 3, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

no!

#

shouodnt do 🙂

coral palm Dec 3, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

or is finding the target machine part of the challenge too?

warm spear Dec 3, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

nope

#

it'll give you the IP

#

actually, you should already have the Ip address

#

when you click "deploy" the IP address appears near the top of the page

#

📎 unknown.png

coral palm Dec 3, 2019, 3:22 PM

#

yes, i have that... its a 10.10.x.x ip... but if i go to it in a browser, i get a message this site cant be reached... and im on the vpn... the network access says that I have an internal virtual ip address of 10.8.x.x

warm spear Dec 3, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

Yup! Sounds right. Have you nmapped the machine?

coral palm Dec 3, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

not yet... let me try

#

ah, is that part of the challenge? thanks for the tip 🙂

warm spear Dec 3, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

Yup! It is 🙂

#

Generally speaking, every single machine you'll do will require nmap 🙂 If you're not used to using tools, the 3 most used tools are nmap, a directory searcher (I use gobuster but dirb comes with kali), and metasploit. 2 of these tools are required for this challenge 😄

coral palm Dec 3, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

ah got it... thank you so much!

vapid dawn Dec 3, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

For the Christmas challenges in particular, we'll talk about scanning if need be

#

For this, the port number to be used is specified in the task

warm spear Dec 3, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

@vapid dawn I don't think the port number is in the task? 😄

vapid dawn Dec 3, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

Ah is it not

#

I must have accidentally removed it

#

Will add it in

#

Sorry about that all

#

Port is 3000 btw

rapid flax Dec 3, 2019, 4:05 PM

#

It's no problem, but (for what it's worth) myself and other users discussed how kicking off recon with Nmap is usually a good start 😉

You can't overwrite the password unless there's some SQL injection attack or something, and I very much doubt there will be.

Hi guys. I'm a complete noob to all of this so forgive me if I sound like an idiot... but I can't get the Kali machine to work. It keeps crashing no matter what I do.

spare blaze Dec 3, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

The kali machine from THM? Or your virtual machine?

dusty tapir Dec 3, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

the one from THM. I don't have all the programs I would need, so I've been trying to use the Kali machine

#

I've opened it in the browser, I've RDPd, but it keeps crashing.

spare blaze Dec 3, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

That is going to be an Admin matter, I won't be of any help, I am sure they will answer very quickly ;)

dusty tapir Dec 3, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

No worries, thank you. 🙂

rigid oxide Dec 3, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

@dusty tapir how much ram does your machine have? It may be that the system doesn't have enough memory to support the connection. Unlikely but sometimes the case here

dusty tapir Dec 3, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

Ah, that could be the case since I'm only using a laptop. I have 8gb.

rigid oxide Dec 3, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

Oh gosh that should be plenty

#

hmm

#

Is the machine itself crashing or just the connection?

dusty tapir Dec 3, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

It seems to be the connection. Basically, I stop being able to click on anything in the VM itself, and the box on the Kali page will say I've been disconnected.

Chrome, but I'm also trying to RDP into it with the same issues.

yes but I am not familiar with John, it run but asked me to specify the format at the end

If you don't mind, trying rebooting your computer @dusty tapir

dusty tapir Dec 3, 2019, 10:29 PM

No problem. I'm going to try one more time and then I'll reboot if it doesn't work.

rigid oxide Dec 3, 2019, 10:29 PM

That's quite strange with the VM, have you tried Firefox by change?

#

probably causing a few locked out usernames

@mossy ermine Our cloud infastructure costs this month are rather high due to the Christmas event. If others are having similar issues, I can bump the machines resources for all Kali instances. As for now, I am going to keep it on using lower resources (which is still 4GB RAM + 3GHz CPU).

#

Hope you understand 🙂

@deep trellis You helped me last week with an issue deploying VMs. I worked around it in the end by using FF instead of Chrome. I just wanted to let you know that the problem seems to lay with Eset Nod32 Antivirus. If I add https://tryhackme.com/ as a URL whitelist then machines deploy ok. I worked this out as when trying to download the jpg from the advent Day 5 task, the item was blocked as THM is on a list of blocked websites...

Hi. 🙂 I’m still having trouble with the kali machine (the THM one). I figured out that clicking commands too quickly was causing it to crash so I’ve been slowly working through the initial setup screens, but then as soon as I try to launch an application of any kind, it crashes again.

This has happened on two machines that I’ve tried it on.

A general rule of thumb for troubleshooting OpenVPN issues:

Run an ifconfig, if there are multiple tunX interfaces, restart your machine.

but I can't connect to my Internal Virtual IP Address. or am I not supposed to do that?

eager fulcrum Dec 10, 2019, 1:54 PM

@fringe flicker your internal address is your IP on the VPN. How are you trying to connect to your own machine?

#

In the browser, it wouldn't work unless you had a web server running

Pretty sure you shouldn't need to connect to your VPN IP in any way, but you need to use it sometimes when things connect back to you

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to do the tasks in the Learn Burp Suite room in the THM Kali machine? I can't seem to connect to the IP for task 3.

#

Hmm, I managed to load the DVWA page by selecting 'No proxy' in the Firefox settings, but then I won't be able to use burp suite, so I'm a little stuck.

#

I think I'm in the wrong channel, sorry!

deep trellis Dec 12, 2019, 12:51 PM

#

Hiya, no worries - you dont need an OpenVPN connection when onthe Kali machine

#

And it should just be the same standard Burp configuration on the machine

#

I am not sure on your experience level, have you set it up before ok?

dusty tapir Dec 12, 2019, 1:04 PM

#

Yeah, I've done a couple of days of advent and used burp suite for one of those, it worked fine.

deep trellis Dec 12, 2019, 1:09 PM

#

Used burp inside the Kali?

#

So other machines work, its just DVWA machine that doesn't?

eager fulcrum Dec 12, 2019, 1:10 PM

#

The page won't load until you manually approve every request in BURP, I assume you know that? @dusty tapir

dusty tapir Dec 12, 2019, 1:16 PM

#

I'd turned burp off and tried to access the IP, and it gave a proxy error.
I've managed to get it working now, but I still think I'm doing something wrong. Sadly my lunch break is over so my allotted practice time is up. 🙂

#

But I'm running the sniper attack as the task says to do, and I know for a fact that one of the words in the word list is the right password, but I'm not seeing anything in the results to indicate the attack was successful. I'll just try it again later.

#

Ah, it actually wasn’t working. “The proxy server is refusing connections” shows as soon as I close burp suite.

lone urchin Dec 12, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

if you close burp, you have to reset your proxy settings. if you tell your system to use burp as a proxy and then close burp, it's not going to get a connection. there'a handy addon on firefox with which you can do this very easily, called foxy proxy if I recall correctly @dusty tapir

I have tried 25days challenge there i was trying to access the challenge 4 i think. I thought that because of day was over i wasn't able to but then i was not able to access today's machine also.
Then try to access vulnversity that one too gave no response

#

I tried by pinging

#

Only one machine gave response

steel rapids Dec 12, 2019, 6:09 PM

#

How long are you leaving between deploying and trying to ping?

rigid swallow Dec 12, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

I thought that the challenge was for that day so deploying that machine is of no use that's why I tried deploying machine simultaneously

#

one by one

steel rapids Dec 12, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

I mean, how much time are you leaving between pressing the deploy button and trying to ping

rigid swallow Dec 12, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

Maybe 1-2 minutes

steel rapids Dec 12, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

The machines take time to boot, sometimes up to 10 minutes depending on load on THM

copper mist Dec 12, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

Most rooms say 3-5

rigid swallow Dec 12, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

Ohhh so the time was for booting okay got it

#

Thank you

#

I thought page was not up means it's not working

#

No problem

#

Got it

steel rapids Dec 12, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

Also, you can do previous days challenges today

rigid swallow Dec 12, 2019, 6:14 PM

Yeah i will try to complete all👌

Hello I have set up open VPN however I do not understand how can I used it to connect my kali Vm to the target machine on tryhackme

#

Any help here?

trail wedge Dec 14, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

You need to use OpenVPN on the Kali machine (follow the Linux video on https://tryhackme.com/access)

The steps are essentially:
Download the profile from https://tryhackme.com/access
Open terminal
sudo apt-get install openvpn && openvpn ~/Downloads/{username}.ovpn (Replace {username} with your username)

TryHackMe | Login

TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.

#

As long as you don't close that terminal the VPN will stay connected

eager fulcrum Dec 14, 2019, 10:01 PM

I normally open a new tab and have the VPn running in that one

fresh stone Dec 16, 2019, 2:01 PM

#

ok

#

file sent

deep trellis Dec 16, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

Works for me

#

Are you doing running the command right?

#

Wait

#

When you run it

#

Are you running the openvpn command in the same directory as the file?

#

If its in the /home/root/Downloads/ directory

#

you need to change directories (cd) into there

#

Before you do it

#

Or supply the full path of the file

#

sudo openvpn "/home/<path to file>/<file name>"

fresh stone Dec 16, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

you're right

#

it is orking now

thankss

Hi :)
I have a problem with the VM of 25dayofchristmas, day13.
I'm connected to the VPN, can deploy the VM, but the ping always fails due to no response. When I for example curl the IP I see the "IIS Windows Server" screen 🤔

rigid oxide Dec 16, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

That's correct.

tired fox Dec 16, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

Okay thanks 🙂 I thought it was an error

obtuse delta Dec 16, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

Working on day 13 but my nmap scans aren't working against the vm. It did at one point the other day? Has this been an issue for anyone else?

Sorry this is for the Christmas Event

Have you downloaded your configuration path?

it's usually when I --script vuln iirc

no need for any other flag/option

this doesn't help, close your terminal, open again, then run openvpn yourname.ovpn and send a screenshot, where yourname.ovpn = the file you downloaded

velvet remnant Dec 17, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

what's kali's equivalent to windows' snipping tool?

lone urchin Dec 17, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

go the menu and type "screenshot", although you can probably do this from your host as well

#

minimize all your windows except the vm, then go to your host and use your snipping tool

#

@lone urchin not sure how clear that capture is.

#

thoughts?

lone urchin Dec 17, 2019, 6:23 PM

#

when you run the command, refresh your access page (on the site) and see what it says, does it say you're connected?

velvet remnant Dec 17, 2019, 6:24 PM

#

yes, it says i'm connected.

lone urchin Dec 17, 2019, 6:24 PM

#

alright, so you're set

#

you go to a room, you join, then if there's a "Deploy" button, when you click it a VM will start which you will have access too

velvet remnant Dec 17, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

sorry, i'm dyslexic. i'm NOT connected

lone urchin Dec 17, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

a new panel will appear that will tell you your vm's ip, that's your target

#

are you sure? try refreshing the page, because that output looks normal to me

velvet remnant Dec 17, 2019, 6:26 PM

#

command + refresh = NOT connected

lone urchin Dec 17, 2019, 6:27 PM

#

maybe you've regenerated your .ovpn file and used an old one?

#

if you regenerate, you need to download the .ovpn file again, and use that one

#

for good measure do this now

#

delete any .ovpn files you have, click regenerate, and download a new one

velvet remnant Dec 17, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

OK, I'll deal with this when I get home. Thanks.

lone urchin Dec 17, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

also before you do this do ifconfig and tell me if you see more than one tun# interface, so like tun0, tun1

#

if you see more than one, reboot your machine. if you connect with the openvpn command and then ifconfig and see one tun0 interface, then you're probably set

velvet remnant Dec 17, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

I don't see any tun#s

lone urchin Dec 17, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

ok then

#

regenerate the access file and download it

barren trail Dec 17, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

Looking for some help please, I'm connected via the openvpn, and I've deployed the machine I'm working on, but it won't find the web server on port 3000? any help appreciated

#

When I visit the Access page it says I'm connected too

lone urchin Dec 17, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

give it a good 5 mins before you try to access it @barren trail

barren trail Dec 17, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

Ah ok, will do.

#

thanks @lone urchin

lone urchin Dec 17, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

and make sure you're using the correct ip address. you don't want your own internal ip (the one in the access page) but the one in the room page (above your tasks)

barren trail Dec 17, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

Yes, that's it working now @lone urchin , I must have been just too keen! 🙂 Thanks for the help!

i mean.... yes obviously

#

you dont have to copyright things to own the IP, at least in the UK. like if I write something, it's mine and if other people post it pretending it to be theirs I can request a takedown and I've never failed so far

#

also

#

tryhackme is a legal company

you dont have to do anything to get copyright, you automatically get it whenever you create an original piece of work

There isn't a register of copyright works in the UK. You automatically get copyright protection when you create: original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic work, including illustration and photography. original non-literary written work, such as software, web content and databases.

Hi everyone! I'm new and I just started with the room "Advent of cyber". I deploy the machine for Day 1. I am connected to the VPN (I can access the machine for room "RP: Nmap"). When I try to access the machine through my browser, I get "Safari can't access the server" (http://10.10.179.124:3000). Did anyone got the same problem? Resolved it? Thank you!

eager fulcrum Dec 19, 2019, 1:59 AM

#

@nocturne igloo how long have you let it deploy for?

rose sky Dec 19, 2019, 2:15 AM

#

@nocturne igloo im having the same problem, idk why i cant access the machine

eager fulcrum Dec 19, 2019, 2:16 AM

#

Again, how long hve you let it deploy for?

rose sky Dec 19, 2019, 2:17 AM

#

at least 5 minutes

nocturne igloo Dec 19, 2019, 2:29 AM

#

Hi

#

I tried every 5 minutes for at least 30 imnutes

eager fulcrum Dec 19, 2019, 2:30 AM

#

@nocturne igloo Either your VPN is not connected or you need to redeploy the machine

#

@nocturne igloo Yeah it's down, redeploy it.

nocturne igloo Dec 19, 2019, 2:42 AM

#

Did it right now: http://10.10.251.17:3000. Do you manage to access it?

#

Maybe need too wait 3 minutes as I did it right now

eager fulcrum Dec 19, 2019, 2:43 AM

#

@nocturne igloo Nope, that VM is down

#

or at least not running the webserver

If someone need to investigate, don't hesitate to PM me 🙂

eager fulcrum Dec 19, 2019, 2:48 AM

#

yeah so it took a while to deploy

nocturne igloo Dec 19, 2019, 2:49 AM

#

I did try 10 times today but never tried to add an hour

#

Seems that this triggered the deployment

eager fulcrum Dec 19, 2019, 2:49 AM

Nah

probably just took a while

because was stuck on task 13 trying to find the path and got confused when the python script would hang

@unreal niche normally when you have 2 devices connected on the same ovpn profile.

could it be that me running python in the terminal

Hope I'm in, but how do you exit out of the openvpn on Kali Linux? I've tried CTRL + C in the same terminal as the connection and sudo killall openvpn, neither of those seem to work .-.

lone urchin Dec 26, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

@subtle osprey Ctrl+C should work

stone roost Dec 26, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

@lone urchin i'm not sure that works lol, on my VM i closed the openvpn tab after ctrl c and i still have the tunnel on

#

or it might just be a problem in 2019.4

lone urchin Dec 26, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

are we talking about the browser vm? because I've never used it

#

no I'm on 2019.4, this hasn't happened to me

stone roost Dec 26, 2019, 10:05 PM

do you get flashy shells too? or taskbar?

#

you can check google/forums

stone roost Dec 26, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

i am in the bugs forum for kali and i see it's quite often. I'll just do a clean install and see if that works any better

lone urchin Dec 26, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

I don't think that would help unless you've manually messed around with something

stone roost Dec 26, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

i haven't touched anything lol, i am a noob

#

also, my vm might be a little bit old and piled with junk from the advent calendar (forgot to do a checkpoint) 😦

lone urchin Dec 26, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

if it's old then a clean install can't hurt but a few files on the disk shouldn't be a problem I think

#

I clean-installed 2019.4 so I can't know if it's something that occurs if you upgrade from a previous version

stone roost Dec 26, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

idk either, i'll download it again and see how it goes, those flashy screens makes me very very annoyed. https://www.reddit.com/r/Kalilinux/comments/e2zfkj/does_anyone_else_has_glitches_with_kali_20194_on/ it's also on reddit

stone roost Dec 26, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

i guess. let's see how it goes. if it keeps flashing i might just move to parrot

#

or is there any other os that might stand out?

lone urchin Dec 26, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

not really, but think of it more as a collection of tools than an os

#

if even after a clean install you have the same problem and you can't find a solution, it be worth it to look into parrot

eager fulcrum Dec 26, 2019, 10:56 PM

subtle osprey Dec 26, 2019, 11:55 PM

#

Wow I missed a whole convo here when you guys were trying to help! Sorry .-.

#

Yeah the flashy happened to me too @stone roost .

#

I think the disabling 3D Animations helped. Because it doesn't happen to me anymore.

#

And yeah, @lone urchin CTRL + C doesn't work for me, and I do it on the same terminal as my connection. However, I'm on Kali 2019.4, so it may be a bit buggy, idk.

#

@stone roost Have you found the solution to closing the openvpn? I got it to close, but I don't know what I did to make it close again, unfortunately .-.

@stone roost Alright, so after trying a couple things, it seems I figured out a way to disconnect the openvpn on kali linux 2019.4

#

Press CTRL + C in the terminal of connection, 2. Delete ovpn file, 3. retype "sudo ovpn /path-to-file/filename.ovpn" and it should show that it cannot connect 4. Refresh the page and it should show it's not connected anymore.

#

There might be a more efficient method out there, but I haven't found it yet. This has worked for me a couple of times, so it should work for your 2019.4 kali machine too.

Would grabbing a memory image be the best way to figure this out since no files have been encrypted?

#

folder path on host machine and then mount point is where it will be mounted within the vm I assume

#

seems pretty straight forward

mossy ermine Dec 30, 2019, 3:48 AM

#

you would think so but it is not mounting... i pointed the folder path and have tried multiple mount points but it isnt working

#

@uncut hound

#

in the old day you just added the folder path and it would drop the folder on the desktop

uncut hound Dec 30, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

I mena have you tried adding a directory specifically for it? /home is very vague and would likely screw the machine so might of refused

#

failing that google is your friend in this one

trail widget Dec 30, 2019, 7:07 AM

#

@mossy ermine you got the guest additions add-on on the host, and installed inside the VM? I’d definitely change /home to something more specific too, like /mnt/files or /home/user/files

mossy ermine Dec 30, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

@trail widget i screwed around with oracle vm for about a hour before getting pissed and just installing vmware fusion... took me two seconds to figure it out in there

#

restalled my linux enviroment and am now a happy man

trail widget Dec 30, 2019, 7:09 AM

#

@mossy ermine nw. Fusion > Virtualbox anyway IMO. Glad you got up and running anyway.

mossy ermine Dec 30, 2019, 7:10 AM

#

yes am now going to sing praise for fusion for all to hear going forward

@rigid oxide hey man, I sent an email over re: the refund as suggested by you last wednesday, did you get it?

#

10+ minutes to deploy a room is normal delay ?

#

I deployed Alfred at 14:39 and it's now 14:52 and still ICMP reply

stone roost Dec 30, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

just because you don't get icmp reply back doesn't mean a host is down. try nmapping

#

@sleek otter that might work, or try browising it over port 80
