This is getting solved by terminating and re-deploying the machine like 5-6 times but sometimes its not getting fixed and its really tiring me up. Can you help me out what to do?

Just a question.. how many people are on one machine (for a room)? I thought I was the only one because I need to deploy one

Correct

#

Machines that you deploy are unique to you

Unless you share the IP

so how come I sometimes have some history in my users on that machine without ever having touched it? they sometimes spoil the questions

#

(and without sharing the IPs)

That would be because the room creator was lazy and didn't wipe their history...

Cannot SSH in to Learn Linux room

Hi guys,

I subscribed a few days ago, deployed the Kali machine and launched the Learn Linux room.

I was able to SSH in as shiba1 and shiba2 with no problem and completed all tasks up to 21, then logged out.

When I tried to resume the tasks the next day after logging in, I was unable to connect via SSH (Permission denied).

I am using the IP address of the Kali machine as the SSH IP, because the Kali machine instructions state that the TryHackMe deployed machines share the same network and there is no OpenVPN requirement (I can't recall if I used the same IP address on the previous successful attempt, or if there was a different IP address for the Learn Linux room displayed on the room banner. Currently there is not a separate address listed.)

Thanks!

barren birch Apr 2, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

@spice tulip Deployed machines last for an hour unless you extend the time

#

Did you redeploy the box?

Tried a fresh deployment of both boxes about 30 min ago, both launched within minutes of each other. Will refresh again if you think it will help.

does anyone have issues on downloading metasploit on windows 10

#

i get stuck in extracting files then it crashes

eager fulcrum Apr 2, 2020, 4:09 AM

Will make your life 10x easier

trail charm Apr 2, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

ya i do have a kali vm on virtual box but it was taking a long time to do some stuff

#

should i have dual booted it

#

i mainly use windows for coding but some of the pen test stuff is not that compatible on windows

#

it took me a while to get nmap and openvpn to work on windows

#

and metasploit is just been pooping itself by crashing for the past hours

eager fulcrum Apr 2, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

This is why you use a kali VM

is the kali metasploit supposed to be like this

You can do this stuff on other operating systems, but as you're finding out, it takes a lot more effort

Nowhere near as hard as setting up a hacking environment on Windows

But no, just download VirtualBox or VMWare Player

Then search for "Kali linux virtualbox image"

Download a .ova and import it in

Hi

Hi all!
While doing the Basic Pentesting Box, I reinstalled enum4linux for the first time in like 2 years.
I cannot seem to get any username since I get the following error:

Use of uninitialized value $users in print at ./enum4linux.pl line 874.
Use of uninitialized value $users in pattern match (m//) at ./enum4linux.pl line 877.

The github error to it just referred to a pullrequest, which at least for me did not help. Also other searches online did not really push to any successes.

I am using Manjaro with gnome

So far I did not find any solution, maybe anyone can help?

Hi guys , I've been facing issues in regards of the connection . Openvpn is very slow and keeps disconnecting everynow and then . I kept killing it and regenerate my configuration file but nothing worked. Finally i thought about subscribing and using the vip server and its still the same. I even tried using the virtual kali machine through ssh without vpn , its better but still I'm facing issues with disconnection in which only terminating the room and redeploying it works. Also rdp is not usable at all. I would truly appreciate any help as It takes me hours to finish a single room .

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:25 AM

@neat carbon What OS are you using?

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

Parrot os

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

You don't currently have it running

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

Already tried kill openvpn processes and restart it several times

#

yeah im using ssh through the virtual kali machine

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

Ok, what happens when you start the VPN up? What does ps show then?

#

Hang on, you're SSHing into the online Kali?

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

yes as it is slightly better than connecting through openvpn

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

Yeah, that should be working. You're saying it's still slow?

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

Ok, what happens when you start the VPN up? What does ps show then?
@barren birch its shows open vpn processes normally and I can interact with the rooms but its very slow and keeps on disconnecting everynow and then

#

Yeah, that should be working. You're saying it's still slow?
@barren birch its better than connecting through openvpn but the issue is suddenly ill lose the connection and all the sessions

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

My guess would be that it's opening more than one tunnel, which would be weird if you're only running it once. The VPN being slow and/or erratic is usually a result of multiple tunnels being open

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

more likely the rooms im interacting with them are the ones which keeps on disconnecting

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

Can you try starting it up then running ps aux | grep openvpn again? Just to get it out of the way

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

sure one sec

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

I mean, there's a chance there's something up with your account config files, but the rooms themselves will be stable. Advantages of AWS and all.

@barren birch I generated the file several times , I mean its weird earlier it was way better , im noticing recently the issue started happening

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

Cool 👍
Do you have a room open just now? I can check that end for you

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

one thing , i did notice sometimes after a while that i have around 4 or 5 processes for openvpn

#

Cool 👍
Do you have a room open just now? I can check that end for you
@barren birch sure , Ill deploy one now , thanks

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

Up and running?

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

I had a room deployed already but I couldn't interact with it at all , I redeployed it again to check

#

I also tried rdp again and its not working the virtual kali machine just freezes

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

What's the IP of the room?

#

The Kali machine should be a lot more stable than that. @deep trellis will probably be asleep, but when wakes up I'm sure he'll be able to take a look at that particularly

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

10.10.63.204 , I can interact with it using ssh only through the kali virtual machine

#

but the problem is suddenly the room will die in the middle of the session

#

k

The Kali machine should be a lot more stable than that. @deep trellis will probably be asleep, but when wakes up I'm sure he'll be able to take a look at that particularly
@barren birch sounds great , thanks

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

Ah. Steel Mountain. Windows.

#

It's definitely up just now, and I assume working for you? Can you connect to it directly from parrot just now?

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

I can but its very slow , for example the webpage keeps on loading but doesnt show the picture of bill 😆 while the kali machine loads it perfectly

#

I can exploit the machine using metasploit from kali immediately but from my parrot it doesnt work and if it did , it disconnects after a while

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

Ok, and do you still only have one VPN connection open? No more have appeared?

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

yup

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

That definitely sounds buggy. How's your connection normally (i.e. to external sites)?

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

perfect no issues

#

I gotta ask is there anyway to connect through openvpn using tcp instead of udp?

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

One more thing, what happens if you try another box?

#

Could you try booting https://tryhackme.com/room/willow for me?

#

Not yet, certainly, with regards to TCP vs UDP. A few people have been asking though

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

Honestly I didn't try any other box tonight l'll check another one

One more thing, what happens if you try another box?
@barren birch

#

Could you try booting https://tryhackme.com/room/willow for me?
@barren birch seems better so far , webpage loads faster and nmap scanning is also way better

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

Sounds like it was SteelMountain being a pain -- which doesn't really surprise me. Windows boxes can be, uh, interesting

neat carbon Apr 4, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

haha yes

#

so regarding the kali machine , any solution for the rdp ?

barren birch Apr 4, 2020, 1:06 AM

but then when I go to open it, it says premission denied

so I am trying to do that, first I run the command
"touch noot.txt" it creates the link

So, how's it going to run?

it told me to create a text file named "noot.txt" and then open it and it will have a password

how do I put something inside of it wtf

Create the file

Then run shiba1

Just found out that there's an unavailable link in the Task 6 Injection of the webappsec101 room (https://tryhackme.com/room/webappsec101)
More specifically the SQL Injection one

#

It, maybe, could be replaced with this one : https://kennel209.gitbooks.io/owasp-testing-guide-v4/en/web_application_security_testing/testing_for_sql_injection_otg-inpval-005.html

not sure this is me misunderstanding how the leaderboard works, or if its actually a problem, but I noticed that even though I complete the metasploit room the leaderboard makes it look like i've only done two tasks
