#

ah, i see

naive dust Mar 20, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

Does it work this way,

#

?

latent fable Mar 20, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

the ip address given in the exercise is a private subnet IP. It'll only work when you are connected to the same private subnet. That's exactly what openvpn does. So whichever machine is connected to openvpn will be able to connect to that IP address.

#

the linking is between your account and the openvpn connection

#

if someone else sent your their target machine's ip address, it wouldn't work on your vpn

naive dust Mar 20, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

so i'll need to prosecute my exercises from inside a kali vmware web browser in order to use kali?

latent fable Mar 20, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

nope

naive dust Mar 20, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

i cannot use kali and continue exercising on the windows web browser

latent fable Mar 20, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

as long as the browser you use is logged into your account :)

#

since the openvpn config file is also linked to your account

naive dust Mar 20, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

both are logged in in my account, so it should work

#

let's try

#

li:~# sudo openvpn /home/jum.ovpn

#

God, this bitch

zealous yoke Mar 20, 2020, 10:18 AM

Just to verify, the openvpn file is in /home/jum.ovpn?

TryHackMe

• Step 1

Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter

• Step 2

If there's more than one line (and the second doesn't have "grep" in it), do the following steps

• Step 3

Type killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter

• Step 4

Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>

naive dust Mar 20, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

no session
@idle zodiac start session with sudo openvpn /path/toconfigurationfile.ovpn

idle zodiac Mar 20, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

if i start the session

#

it create two tun , tun0 and tun1

naive dust Mar 20, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

if you start the session does the tryhackme.com/access says you're connected?

zealous yoke Mar 20, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

If you have two different config files, OpenVPN will create a seperate tun* interface for each

#

I.e. say you have used openvpn to connect to another LAN, you'll get tun0. If you now load a config file for THM it'll create tun1 IIRC

naive dust Mar 20, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

but from a kinda newbie point of view, don't trouble the waters

#

go for the objective to be connected to that network, check tryhackme.com/access after you launch a session

windows

zealous yoke Mar 20, 2020, 5:45 PM

thought as much with the Zenmap.

#

Just double check in command prompt that you've got an interface from OpenVPN and that it has the IP address given on https://tryhackme.com/access

safe pelican Mar 20, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

ok*

zealous yoke Mar 20, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

you can use ipconfig don't post your ip address, just say if there's an interface name for it

safe pelican Mar 20, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

yeah there is

#

but it is. 10.9 not 10.10

zealous yoke Mar 20, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Although I'd really recommend installing a Linux Virtual Machine and interacting with THM that way. You won't be able a vast majority of the content without something like Kali for example

eager fulcrum Mar 20, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

10.10 is the room

#

10.8 or 10.9 is the VPN addresses

safe pelican Mar 20, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

wdym?

zealous yoke Mar 20, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Next to the interface name, you'll have either an IP address starting with 10.8.*.* or 10.9.*.*

#

that'll be your internal IP, in the THM room you will have a card with an expiry timer and an IP address - that'll be the instance you need to attack

safe pelican Mar 20, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

wait I connected to the room nice

zealous yoke Mar 20, 2020, 5:56 PM

eager fulcrum Mar 20, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

Interface names are different

safe pelican Mar 20, 2020, 5:57 PM

@zealous yoke

Its ok I'm not advanced enough lol

zealous yoke Mar 20, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

You're going to struggle with the vast-majority of the content if you use Windows

safe pelican Mar 20, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

ok I guess...

zealous yoke Mar 20, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

if you happen to be subscribed, you can use a Kali VM in your browser. If not, you'll have to install one

safe pelican Mar 20, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

ok I guess

#

So for now accessing the content in a windows machine won't be an option

eager fulcrum Mar 20, 2020, 6:00 PM

It does work

But a VM is better

safe pelican Mar 20, 2020, 6:01 PM

So could you guys help me for the time being with the problem?

"Could not find interface tun0" 😦
@safe pelican

shows this anyway if you guys have an answer I'll appreciate it

zealous yoke Mar 20, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

I'm not entirely sure how you'd specify the adapter that OpenVPN uses, as AFAIK on Windows OpenVPN creates a "software" route (like NAT) rather then creating a dedicated interface like it does on Linux

eager fulcrum Mar 20, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

I imagine if you don't specify anything it might work?

zealous yoke Mar 20, 2020, 6:09 PM

Apparently it doesn't

frank frigate Mar 20, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

I had two vpn open but one of them doesn't die when I use killall @eager fulcrum

eager fulcrum Mar 20, 2020, 6:10 PM

Is one of them a "grep" process?

#

Also sudo killall

frank frigate Mar 20, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

Yes one of them is

barren birch Mar 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

Yeah, that's the process you created when you searched for the openvpn process...

eager fulcrum Mar 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

The grep process is just looking for openVPN

frank frigate Mar 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

Yep but it still doesn't ping to the server

#

I will try to restart my VM again

eager fulcrum Mar 20, 2020, 6:16 PM

frank frigate Mar 20, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

Yes

frank frigate Mar 20, 2020, 6:47 PM

Ok so. I restarted my VM, regenerated another config file on Try hack me, used sudo openvpn <filename>.ovpn, Deployed the machinem checked my ip using ipconfig, went to http://<ip>:3000. Waited a few minutes and still doesn't work

#

I only have one VPN

zealous yoke Mar 20, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

It sounds like you've done everything right. Are you able to deploy another instance that you can connect too?

#

Curious to see if it's an actual issue with how your vpn file's being generated - which if so, it'll have go to admins

naive dust Mar 20, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

@frank frigate sometimes machines take some time to startup so if you went immediately on deployment that could be the cause of ur issue

#

Try pinging the machine

#

As well as terminating and redeploying

frank frigate Mar 20, 2020, 6:58 PM

Alright. I'm currently trying the terminate and redeploying method. Ty

Oh, hang on

lemme see which one i downloaded

naive dust Mar 20, 2020, 11:05 PM

You probably downloaded 4.7

You have to specify if you want 4.8

It looks like 4.8 is on the main website

I had to go into the archive to grab that ^^

yea its 4.8

any fix for gobuster?

anyone who my be able to help I would really appreciate it

#

I use vpn all the time

crystal osprey Mar 20, 2020, 11:58 PM

What box is this?

narrow charm Mar 20, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

Did gobuster updated

crystal osprey Mar 20, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

Idk but you can run the: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

narrow charm Mar 21, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

Vulnversity box. I will do that thank you

crystal osprey Mar 21, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

If that doesn't work maybe try dirb or dirbuster. But it should work with gobuster

barren birch Mar 21, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

Yeah, that's a VPN error

#

Or possibly a box error

#

More likely VPN though

narrow charm Mar 21, 2020, 12:07 AM

I just disconnected VPN and I still getting the same problem

eager fulcrum Mar 21, 2020, 12:07 AM

If you're disconnected from the VPN. you won't be able to access it

Oh my VPN not the machine vpn

crystal osprey Mar 21, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

Are you running the THM openvpn file on kali itself?

narrow charm Mar 21, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

Yes

#

I’m not using any VM

crystal osprey Mar 21, 2020, 12:16 AM

so you are running the command: openvpn file.ovpn ?

narrow charm Mar 21, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

Yes

crystal osprey Mar 21, 2020, 12:17 AM

And you get an ip?

narrow charm Mar 21, 2020, 12:17 AM

Yes and I ping the ip

crystal osprey Mar 21, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

Try restarting the room

hi all! im having trouble accessing the linux machine on the advent of cyber room. I can deploy the machine, but am not able to access it. any tips?

#

by that, i mean there is no visible "open in browser" button

barren birch Mar 21, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

@unborn axle That's a feature that hasn't been released yet, but it will be soon

#

@foggy jacinth most machines don't have browser access

#

Are you subscribed?

foggy jacinth Mar 21, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

yup!

barren birch Mar 21, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

Ok, have you used the Kali VM before?

#

The THM machines are usually remotely accessed -- as in, you need to target them from your own machine

#

TryHackMe have the Kali VM online for subscribers to use for this reason

foggy jacinth Mar 21, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

yes, i have one on my computer, yet i dont know how to ssh into them

barren birch Mar 21, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

Just use the one in your browser if you're subscribed: https://tryhackme/room/kali

#

That saves the need for using the VPN

foggy jacinth Mar 21, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

okay! thanks : D

barren birch Mar 21, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

From there, you would usually scan the remote IP (as in, the one the AoC room gave you)

#

That's to see what kinda services the machine is running

#

In this case though, you're told that there's a webserver running

#

So, inside the Kali VM, just open up firefox and head to http://<ip>:3000

#

substituting <ip> for the IP address you were given in AoC

foggy jacinth Mar 21, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

ohhh okay, cool! thanks so much!

barren birch Mar 21, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

No problem 🙂

#

Feel free to ask over in #room-hints or #room-help if you get stuck with any of the questions 😄

foggy jacinth Mar 21, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

would i be able to ssh in from my own machine? in that case, i would have to use the openvpn network correct?

#

thanks!

barren birch Mar 21, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

Yep, that's exactly right

#

That's my preference, tbh

foggy jacinth Mar 21, 2020, 1:35 AM

Ah, I had this just recently. apparently Zenmap doesn't work so well with OpenVPN on Windows from what I can gather...I'm not sure of the exact fix (if there is one)

The best thing I can recommend is installing a Linux-distro in a Virtual Machine (more specifically Kali imho, you'll really struggle with other content on THM) and trying to use the platform that way!

I've had a lot of people unable to nmap scan THM devices when using Windows

#

Zenmap/Nmap on Windows doesn't seem to work too well with OpenVPN

#

(or WSL for that fact)

barren birch Mar 22, 2020, 10:58 AM

#

Mhm. Openvpn generally doesn't seem to co-operate well with tools on Windows. I believe it's got something to do with the tunnel being a software routing, rather than a virtual adapter?

#

You will know more about that though @zealous yoke

barren birch Mar 22, 2020, 10:59 AM

I would recommend cancelling the connection on Windows, then opening it directly inside the VM

zealous yoke Mar 22, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

AFAIK, OpenVPN on Windows using "software" bridging to the physical adapter whereas on linux, an adapter itself is created (tun0)

#

exactly what @barren birch said. As long as you're connected okay in Kali, you'll be nice @naive dust

naive dust Mar 22, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

yeah it does not change my public ip if it's supposed to do that too

zealous yoke Mar 22, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

AFAIK, OpenVPN on Windows using "software" bridging to the physical adapter whereas on linux, an adapter itself is created (tun0)
@zealous yoke so tools like Zenmap/Nmap/WSL use the physical adapter when doing scans (basically ignores the openvpn)

#

That's intended @naive dust 🙂

barren birch Mar 22, 2020, 11:01 AM

#

Shouldn't be changing your public IP

naive dust Mar 22, 2020, 11:01 AM

#

ok

#

kinda wierd that nmap does not want to use the vpn tho

#

it does try to use that adapter

#

as it got errors before where it could not reach it, because the installation was broken

barren birch Mar 22, 2020, 11:03 AM

#

Think of that connection as basically being a doorway into the TryHackMe network. All the rest of your traffic goes out normally, but anything directed to TryHackMe goes through that door.

zealous yoke Mar 22, 2020, 11:05 AM

#

Yeah, it's more to do with how the tools i.e. Nmap need physical adapters for the types of packets it sends - which on Windows, OpenVPN w/ THM doesn't provide

hey guys im trying to install Parrot OS on my VirtualBox in MacOS... I downloaded the .ova file and Import Appliance. Now for some reason it wont start the Installation it just shows me this:

anyone might be able to assist here?

barren birch Mar 22, 2020, 12:16 PM

What exactly did you download?

#

An ova, or an iso?

civic smelt Mar 22, 2020, 12:16 PM

#

an .ova

barren birch Mar 22, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

So that's a full virtual machine

#

Which looks like it doesn't have any kind of GUI installed -- it's just a shell

#

Either that or it's broken

#

Might be a lightweight version

civic smelt Mar 22, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

i downloaded the 5gb version

barren birch Mar 22, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

Try downloading the ISO -- that will allow you to install it for yourself

#

The OVA has already been installed

civic smelt Mar 22, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

ah okay

#

so i can also just use the .iso ? everywhere it says i should get .ova

zealous yoke Mar 22, 2020, 12:18 PM

#

Ah that's an UEFI shell

barren birch Mar 22, 2020, 12:18 PM

#

Huh, that's not even a Parrot shell, it's a UEFI shell, which would indicate that the actual OS has been unable to boot. My guess would be that it's a broken image

zealous yoke Mar 22, 2020, 12:18 PM

#

re-import / install that's buggered

barren birch Mar 22, 2020, 12:18 PM

#

Although @zealous yoke sounds to have seen it before 😁

#

so i can also just use the .iso ? everywhere it says i should get .ova
@civic smelt I mean, I would always use the ISO, because they can be used in more situations than just for virtual machines. Additionally, not sure about Parrot, but the Kali OVA downloads tend to be a touch less stable than ones you make yourself

will just go for the .iso then

zealous yoke Mar 22, 2020, 12:21 PM

#

I would - your issue is that virtualbox can't find a boot record for whatever it is that's been imported so. ISO is best way to go either way

My guess would be no, because to the best of my knowledge, OpenVPN doesn't actually create a virtual network adapter of its own. I've not tried it though.

The TAP adapter is only created when connected, whose config is populated by the OpenVPN server, the config adds the THM network to the routing table in Windows.

You might be able to, but it's been a while since I've setup an OpenVPN server - I think it's more stipulated by the OpenVPN server then the client side afaik

You can use VMWare Player for free, IIRC it only facilitates one VM at a time. But I'll leave you to Para

naive dust Mar 22, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

@zealous yoke it does, I still player because of how smooth it is

#

So you're using vmware

#

Not vbox

#

You should just be able to double click one of the files inside there and VMware will open

#

Other wise since you said trial I assume you're using workstation not player right

zealous yoke Mar 22, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

If you're using VMware, the file you need to open will have the extension of ".vmx"

#

or go to Import in VMware and navigate to the directory, it'll appear there if it's a valid download
