That did it?

Weird

thankyou for the help and support

#

one more suggestion

#

can u please give static ip to machine

#

cri

eager fulcrum Mar 28, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

No

#

Every time you deploy it, it creates a new instance

idle zodiac Mar 28, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

ok

narrow charm Mar 28, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

I have a quick question. I’m really enjoying the THM and I want to subscribe. I saw that subscriber can access Kali from the website. How secure is that? Do I need a virtual box to be more secure or I can do it from my computer straight up. I saw also that you don’t connect to a vpn on the web. Thanks

barren birch Mar 28, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

@narrow charm it's secure, don't worry 😄
Doing it in browser on your host is fine

#

And yeah, no VPN required if you use the in-browser Kali

eager fulcrum Mar 28, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

@narrow charm The in browser Kali is a virtual machine running on TryHackMe. Your connection to it will be over HTTPS so it's encrypted, or you can use RDP which is also encrypted

#

It does not expose the computer you're connected from, any more than accessing a website normally would

narrow charm Mar 28, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

Ok thank you very much. Also I can use my vpn service as well right? @barren birch @eager fulcrum

eager fulcrum Mar 28, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

The TryHackMe VPN or a different VPN?

narrow charm Mar 28, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

Different one

barren birch Mar 28, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

@narrow charm given you're streaming a computer GUI it might be a little slow, but yep, shouldn't be a problem

eager fulcrum Mar 28, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

yeah the only real concern is speed

#

Tunnelling OpenVPN over other VPN connections can be iffy so the Kali machine does allow you to get around that

narrow charm Mar 28, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

perfect thank you again.

What do I do if I can't log into my account?

eager fulcrum Mar 28, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

@jolly pasture Reset password?

#

Same as any other site

jolly pasture Mar 28, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

I tried reset password but didn't get an email. Also the password is not incorrect as I use a password manager

naive dust Mar 28, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

If you've lost access to the email, you can either make a new account, or you have some specific way to prove ownership you can try emailing support@tryhackme.com

#

@jolly pasture are you sure the password is correct

#

Like 100% sure

jolly pasture Mar 28, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

I've been using manager to log in and out before so can't see why it wouldn't work now. Also I got no email when I tried reset but I get all the promotional mail.

eager fulcrum Mar 28, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

Checked junk?

naive dust Mar 28, 2020, 5:59 PM

Ello, so can't seem to get into all the rooms atm, and not sure whether this is intentional or not. When entering some rooms I'm greeted with a why subscribe landing page, but it doesn't telle me that the content is premium or anything. Am I just stupid or nah?

naive dust Mar 28, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

Yeah when you see that page

#

That content is subscriber only

whole spire Mar 28, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

Oh, cool

#

might be a good idea for the page to say so, so people like me don't come all up in your grill saying the page is broken :p

naive dust Mar 28, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

I mean

#

It does say so

#

It redirects you to a subscribe page

whole spire Mar 28, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

Yeah, but it would be easier to understand if it says "This content is subscriber only, get access to this and these other features" or something imo

#

And thats me done complaining, love the platform anyways, gonne sub when I actually have some money to spend

I have just subscribed and am trying the Christmas room. I have deployed the machine and am trying to access the machine using the http://{ipaddress}:3000 but the site cannot be reached. As I have a subscription I thought I did not need OpenVPN. Is that the case?

eager fulcrum Mar 28, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

@dawn jolt You need OpenVPN to access 10.x IP addresses on TryHackMe. Unless you're using the in browser Kali machine

zealous yoke Mar 28, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

You will need a VPN to connect regardless of subscription, unless you are using the provided Kali VM in https://tryhackme.com/room/kali 🙂

I've got access to the meterpreter with another payload, that blue room creator suggests, and I've thought - oh really? can I background my session, to then wake up meterpreter and take over existing session. In theory. In practice it looks like the * option in this write-up screen - if fucks up

not once, twice, three times, but it never turned in background correctly

can somebody help me?

still the same issues though, can't get anything outta ping and nmap relating to room machines

I find my VPN connection is always dropping. after about 5 min, i lose connectivity. The VPN shows connected, and the route is there, but no ping. If I drop the VPN Connection and re-establish it, it works for about 5 min. again. I'm using Kali in a VM. Any ideas on why this is happening? I use the same Kali box for Hack the box without any VPN issues.

Are you running just 1 OpenVPN connection?

ocean yacht Mar 29, 2020, 4:52 PM

Yes

after I kill the all openvpn processes, and run sudo openvpn <config>, then check again with ps aux | grep, i get 3 entries again (one for the grep)

#

Are you killing all OpenVPN connections?

#

Like killing each process?

#

Or sudo pkill openvpn (not tested)

eager fulcrum Mar 29, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

3 entries is normal for non root users

barren birch Mar 29, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

It's normal to have two now in the new version of Kali (one connection appears for sudo, the other does not)

eager fulcrum Mar 29, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

Any non root distro @barren birch

barren birch Mar 29, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

Well, yeah

#

New Kali is the most common

#

But obviously, anytime you use sudo..

latent fable Mar 29, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

why is that anyway? Why would it spawn two processes?

barren birch Mar 29, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

🤷‍♂️ Heck knows. You're the Linux geek around here

eager fulcrum Mar 29, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

@latent fable one is a sudo process, one is an openvpn process

#

They both run as root because:
Sudo is root suid
Openvpn is ran as root via sudo

latent fable Mar 29, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

I'm far from a linux wiz, Muri :p

#

does that mean that any sudo'ed command spawns two processes, James?

So that doesn't really work, there's hostnamectl to rename it properly, but you need to edit a line in /etc/hosts @whole tundra

@eager fulcrum can you help me with my issue when you have time

@whole tundra root is what's known as the superuser for Linux, basically they can do anything, edit anything etc. It's not great to use the root account for daily stuff, so you use sudo to run a command as a the super user

Can somebody help me? I am trying to connect to the Openvpn network on my Kali laptop, and I keep on getting this error. I have checked to make sure my Openvpn is updated and is at the newest version, I have also done some research into it and some people have said it’s because of how some servers only accept ascii characters, so I created a new account with a simple name using just ascii characters and I’m still getting this error. I am not new to Kali Linux, nor Linux in general, just having a difficult time getting connected. I’ve had some people tell me that some of the challenges on THM are pretty fun, thought I would give them a try.

For anyone who is having the same issue as me when attempting to connect to the OpenVpn, I just tried uninstalling and completely clearing every config file for OpenSSL and Openvpn, then manually installed the latest versions that are stable. This did not fix the issue, I still get : Cannot load online certificate file
Exiting due to fatal error

Hello everyone! I'm fairly new here (fairly=very..) And I wonder if anyone else experiences openvpn connection problems? I was working on a room for around 45 minutes until openvpn failed, restarted VM, tried reconnecting, it keeps saying "TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)"
It worked just fine yesterday as well

#

I'd like to rephrase my questions to, "anyone STILL experiencing connection problems"

Should probably read previous messages before posting ^_^;

#

I've just seen Ashu's message, regenerating config file solved it. 😄

somber mason Mar 30, 2020, 10:16 AM

#

@blissful basin As of rn it's working after regenerating it again

blissful basin Mar 30, 2020, 10:17 AM

#

I’ll try regenerating it and seeing if it works. But I’ve tried regenerating it probably 13+ times now. Lol.

• 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>

Then try again

@eager fulcrum he was right, that was my ip 🙂

it takes a few minutes to show inot being connected

Do I send you the config or do I log back in ? (or both)

#

@somber mason Are you trying to ping it?

somber mason Mar 31, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

Yeah

barren birch Mar 31, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

That's a Windows box

#

They don't respond to being pinged

somber mason Mar 31, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Are you sure because, all the other boxes were Linux and this one says it's review. I also tried hitting it with nmap and didn't see anything. @barren birch

barren birch Mar 31, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Nmap works by pinging...

#

Add a -Pn switch into the nmap command and see what comes up

#

nmap -Pn -vv <ip-address>

somber mason Mar 31, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Yeah I'm just confused as to why it would switch up. Ill try that you're a trial mod so I'm sure you know better than I do

barren birch Mar 31, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

I also did the room as it came out 😆
Trust me, we all fell for it back then

#

Day 13 is one of two "challenges"

#

The rest are all training

somber mason Mar 31, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

Ah okay yeah I see now

#

It came up, this is gonna suck I know nothing with windows. Thanks for your help though definitely saved me a lot of time. @barren birch

barren birch Mar 31, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

@somber mason Np 😄

#

For the record, there are write-ups if you get really stuck

eager fulcrum Mar 31, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

Long as you can use windows you can get this one

barren birch Mar 31, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

Mhm ^^

#

Nothing hugely complex with this one

somber mason Mar 31, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

Alright thank you!

arctic matrix Mar 31, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

It's getting really annoying.. I can't seem to find what in windows is blocking the access to this.. I have tried disabling Firewalls but nothing changes 🤔 The fun part is that when I nmap this IP I get an open 21 port at the address of the Vulnversity room.. which is supposed to have 6 open ports Kappa if anyone has some suggestion, otherwise I'll do some check in my windows config tomorrow

eager fulcrum Mar 31, 2020, 1:49 AM

@arctic matrix Did you regenerate your openVPN config?

arctic matrix Mar 31, 2020, 1:52 AM

#

It has nothing to do with the config as it is working on another computer :/

eager fulcrum Mar 31, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

There was something broken with one of the OpenVPN servers, that's why I ask

arctic matrix Mar 31, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

Yeah I know thanks ^^

barren birch Mar 31, 2020, 1:54 AM

#

Well, it's definitely not the box

#

Guessing from the error message that it's got something to do with your firefox settings

#

Or firewall

eager fulcrum Mar 31, 2020, 1:55 AM

#

~~It's Chrome~~

barren birch Mar 31, 2020, 1:55 AM

#

Oh Goddamnit, so it is...

#

Too early for this

#

Well, that explains the problem right there then. It's Chrome...

eager fulcrum Mar 31, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

That's not the problem but ok

barren birch Mar 31, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

I figured 😆

#

Hmm

#

@arctic matrix can you access any other TryHackMe machines?

#

i.e. is it just blocking vulnversity?

Sounds like you're connecting to something that doesn't have SSH open

Or you don't have your VPN on
