[deep trellis]

then redownload it

[minor hatch]

I did it twice 🙂

[deep trellis]

@vapid dawn

What server is this on?

[minor hatch]

does Regular2 work? Then I try this one

[deep trellis]

Please try Regular1

[minor hatch]

I'M on regular1 atm

[deep trellis]

and regenerating doesn't give you a new file? That works

[minor hatch]

not as of yet

how long does the regen process take?

[vapid dawn]

is that file from regular1 or regular2?

[minor hatch]

from Regular

I got a Certificate:

<ca> ... </ca>
No cert: <cert></cert>
and the key

[vapid dawn]

and regenerating gave you the same file?

[minor hatch]

yup

does regenerating take time?

[vapid dawn]

no it shouldn't 🙂

[minor hatch]

I waited one min

regenerated, downloaded and started and still the same error

using: OpenVPN 2.4.8

@vapid dawn any Idea? I know you are busy fixing the backend, so I won't disturb if you got other things to do

[vapid dawn]

give me one sec 🙂

lemme try fix it for you

[minor hatch]

thank you very much!

[vapid dawn]

for now, I'd say switch to a different server @minor hatch

[minor hatch]

Which one?

[vapid dawn]

regular2

[minor hatch]

trying it!

Works! Thank you :)
Any Idea what is wrong with it?

[vapid dawn]

@minor hatch if you want to switch to regular1 it should work now as well 🙂

I think the generation command was interrupted somehow

so the re-generation command couldn't find the relevant files to kill

but it's all good now 🙂

[minor hatch]

Tank you very much 🙂

[pale palm]

this is so strange, I'm doing the advent of cyber room and I can ping the machine just fine, but when I go to go to the website on port 3000 it doesn't work

[barren birch]

Give it a little time @pale palm

Chances are that the machine has started but the web server is taking longer

[pale palm]

alright

cool

thanks

[barren birch]

Some applications can be really bulky to start up 🤷‍♂️

[pale palm]

yeah

ah working now!

thanks

[twin pewter]

I’m new to cyber security

Any suggestions get start from beginning to professional

[hidden vector]

@twin pewter https://youtu.be/PvLjHODBwIg

Also the channel

[feral dock]

The Cyber Mentor is not that good

I recommend John Hammond or Ippsec

[hidden vector]

Yeah those are really good too

[twin pewter]

I have doubt most of the customers moving to cloud, so can we implement the cyber security in cloud? Because the cloud is readily available infrastructure , what about the job opportunities

[hidden vector]

If you're willing to buy the TryHackMe Subscription (It really pays off) you can do the total beginner path and then move from there.

[twin pewter]

Ok what is the subscription cost

[hidden vector]

Usually $10 a month. If you're a student you can get it for $8 a month tho.

[steel rapids]

I have doubt most of the customers moving to cloud, so can we implement the cyber security in cloud? Because the cloud is readily available infrastructure , what about the job opportunities
the focus then shifts to cloud security engineers, there's always a demand

[untold ibex]

I've been trying to use my paysafecard for something for a while now, would it be possible to somehow get VIP with that? (it's a €10 one)

[long panther]

Hello, can i ask how to get the student discount?
I veryfied my university email address but i don't see the price changed..
Does anyone know who should i contact for that issue?
Thank you all

[barren birch]

@long panther It should be applied automatically, but that's only for certain domains. If you've got a student email address that isn't being recognised, send an email to [e-mail] and they'll apply it manually for you 🙂

[long panther]

@barren birch thank you for your fast response!
I'm happy to join you all!
I wish i get some experience through tryhackme platform

First of all, HELLO 🙂 wanted to finish the room I started a week ago called : The Cod Caper. I have finished few tasks already when i started, wanted to refresh , and start from the beginning.. but now i cant scan the machine, did already few times terminating machine reconnecting to VPN still no luck, I cant even ping the machine.. any suggestions ?

[deep trellis]

hi there

What VPN server are you on?

[dawn hatch]

VIP

[deep trellis]

Is your OpenVPN client outputting anything?

[dawn hatch]

current output

[deep trellis]

Can you try stopping and restarting your OpenVPN?

Do you have an IP for the machine?

So I can test if its up

[dawn hatch]

you mean ip of the deployed machine ?

or my vpn ip ?

[deep trellis]

DM me:)

@dawn hatch speak here now please

@latent fable Im willing to change it, just to make you a lil bit happy 😄 tell me what you wanna see ? 😄 color, size, lay it on me Cake 😄

@latent fable

[latent fable]

oh, right, like that. No, I meant I didn't like that it was in the picture :p

That said, I dig Breeze Light

[dawn hatch]

oke, 'll do my best to avoid that in the future.

[latent fable]

hahaha

thanks 😄

[dawn hatch]

breez light it is

[latent fable]

goes well with dark mode too ;)

[dawn hatch]

Follow the steps above^, you have 2 VPN connections running
@deep trellis I think my problem was that used to press CTRL-x, when i should be using ALT-CTRL-C, cuz i have changed CTRL-C to copy

goes well with dark mode too ;)
@latent fable BTW congratz with a new level my friend.. its like we are going hand to hand 😛

[latent fable]

hehe, it is! Doesn't help that both our names are PascalCase :p

[latent fable]

nono, camelCase doesn't have a leading Capital

[fading sun]

Hey, I have a problem. If I connect to the network via openVPN, the websites of machnies won't load, however if I start the Remote Kali Machine it's fine.
Already regenerated the Certificate and changed the VPN server.

[latent fable]

did you ensure that multiple instances of OpenVPN aren't running?

[fading sun]

Yes. Only one

Pings are also going through

[latent fable]

is the browser configured to go through zap or burp or something? -- and they're not running or running but intercepting and holding the message

[long panther]

Hey guys, i have a question,
when i complete a room, i get the option to share my completion in twitter.
Iff i skip that is there any way i can do it later?

[silent widget]

Hi guys, I'm learning on Common Linux Privesc room. one task is about using the msfvenom but id doesnt seem to be installed or recognized on the cli. am I missing something?

[eager fulcrum]

@silent widget yes.

You run it from your kali

[silent widget]

from the shell or the gui one?

@eager fulcrum

it says command not found

[eager fulcrum]

Msfvenom is installed on kali by default

[fading sun]

@latent fable No proxy, nothing.

It may be the machine since another machine worked.

[latent fable]

Any bright ideas, @eager fulcrum? I'm drawing a blank on @fading sun's case

[eager fulcrum]

Multivpn?

Vpn not wuite working right

[fading sun]

It seems to be the OWASP Juice Shop room, since the introduction to Burp is working

[eager fulcrum]

Try it again now

[fading sun]

Still not loading

[eager fulcrum]

Definitely sounds like a VPN problem

[fading sun]

Already checked that. That's not the problem.

To the left is the OWASP room and on the right is the learn burp suit room.

The burp suit one loads, except of the image.
The OWASP however doesn't load at all, even though I can reach it.

[silent widget]

@eager fulcrum It seems msfvenom is missing from the deploy version. I deployed the kali machine from the kali room and it exist

[eager fulcrum]

@silent widget ...

The VM on the room is not kali.

[silent widget]

I see

is it possible to deploy both of them?

[eager fulcrum]

Before asking these sorts of questions. Try it.

[silent widget]

😇

thanks it works

[fading sun]

Does noone else have an idea?

[latent fable]

I mean try restarting everything, but otherwise, I don't

kill all vpns that isn't the thm one

[fading sun]

Maybe it's a problem with VMWare, gonna try virtual box

[peak mesa]

Hi guys. I'm trying to host a an Ampache server to upload my music to. Following the offivial github guide right now, but encountering a few problems.

It says:"Check that Ampache website is allowed to override Apache settings (AllowOverride All in vhost config file for instance)." where do I find the the vhost config file though?

Not really the channel mate 🙂

oh...sorry. just saw tech-support

[robust tide]

Hey guy, I need a bit of help, so I have tried using Putty and the SSE command but no matter what I keep getting connection failed/timed out I have tired to ping the IP but I get no response I I am also connected the the VPN so i have no idea what the issue could be.

I'm going to CBS with this pitch

[latent fable]

I think they've heard it about one billion times

[robust tide]

skill not working :/

[latent fable]

did you wait for the cooldown timer and do you have enough EP?

[robust tide]

https://gyazo.com/0c79d56d5e891ba80089c06b750c5fc1

[latent fable]

what do you do when you're not allowed 101

[robust tide]

i already tried sudo

[latent fable]

kill it by id then

forcefully

sudo kill -9 1325

[robust tide]

just restarted my vm then re opened in but still the same issue

[latent fable]

can it ping 8.8.8.8?

[robust tide]

yeah

such a strange issue.

[latent fable]

and you don't have any other vpn software installed at all?

[robust tide]

no its a fresh kali install

[latent fable]

in a vm?

[robust tide]

yeah vm ware

[latent fable]

is the host vpned to tryhackme?

[robust tide]

yeah

[latent fable]

alright

you gotta turn that off

you can't have more than one vpn running to thm

[robust tide]

oh my host pc sorry no

[latent fable]

right

does the host have any other VPN stuff?

[robust tide]

see I've done htb before and that was fine

and no

[latent fable]

that does sound pretty unusual

just to verify, you're trying to ssh/ping a machine that has ssh on p22 and answers to pings, right?

[robust tide]

i was wondering if my host pc was blocking the ports but that's not the issue

and yes

[latent fable]

and it's still running?

[robust tide]

sorry it does not awnser to pings

[latent fable]

right, but it has ssh?

[robust tide]

yeah

[latent fable]

have you tried another room?

[robust tide]

yeah I've tried two rooms

[latent fable]

hmm

Have you tried regenerating and redownloading the connection file?

[robust tide]

No I'll try that now

Nope, still wont ping

i have no idea on the issue lol

[latent fable]

I though that box didn't respond to ping

[robust tide]

well its not responding to ping's

[latent fable]

right, but would it if you were connected?

[robust tide]

and still getting connection timed out

[latent fable]

that's what a windows box would say. firewall and all that

[robust tide]

https://gyazo.com/ba088c3622a1d1ce6bcc5afcf279f421

[latent fable]

which room is it?

[robust tide]

Linux Challenges

Just going through all the basic rooms first

[latent fable]

right. Should respond on p22

[robust tide]

should do but its not for me

[hushed oxide]

@robust tide I still think something is wrong with your vpn setup...

this is 'normal' behavior when you're not connected

can we see what openvpn does?

[robust tide]

you want the openvpn log?

https://gyazo.com/fc705c2f9a568e431631d2c151b5072a

[deep trellis]

you need to be connected to ping it

[hushed oxide]

what's the [5] stopped... could that be the openvpn?

[deep trellis]

Open a new tab

Has it been sent to the background?

From TryHackMe with ❤!

[hushed oxide]

@deep trellis it looks like it was send to background.. or just ctrl z and nothing.....

[deep trellis]

I think you have multiple background VPN processed

Follow TryHacMe's message

[latent fable]

wait, was that it?

[hushed oxide]

?

[latent fable]

I'm so dum if that was it

[hushed oxide]

@latent fable this is exactly why I wanted that log 😄

[robust tide]

the [5] stopped was just me ctrl z out

[hushed oxide]

so you stopped the openvpn process

you need to leave it open.. else your vpn wont be up 🙂

[robust tide]

i tried that also

but let me try again

[deep trellis]

show us the output of: ps aux | grep openvpn

[hushed oxide]

check if any other openvpn processes are running before you try again!

[robust tide]

also I'm still connected to the vpn on the website

https://gyazo.com/f4477e0882d8acf1401283e295c3906a

[naive dust]

Yeah

You have multiple sessions running

That's an issue

[hushed oxide]

yeah.. kill them! KILL THEM ALL

[naive dust]

sudo killall openvpn

[robust tide]

yeah and then re open it?

[naive dust]

Then run your sudo openvpn command again

[hushed oxide]

I'm sorry.. I get excited from killing processes 😄

yes.. and leave it open!

[robust tide]

😛

[naive dust]

@hushed oxide you should seek therapy 😂😂😂

<3

[hushed oxide]

dude... me and all my colleagues 😦

@robust tide don't keep us hanging

[robust tide]

vm being slow...

[hushed oxide]

😢

[robust tide]

they like to tease being slow at points like this

[latent fable]

Try pressing the turbo button

[hushed oxide]

Try pressing the turbo button
@latent fable yeah.. tried that with my gf once.. didn't help

[latent fable]

your hand has buttons??

[hushed oxide]

......maaybee.....

[robust tide]

not bloody connecting now lol

[hushed oxide]

no way 😦

[robust tide]

wait....

maybe it would help If i was on the vip vpn....

[hushed oxide]

instead of?

[robust tide]

the regular one

cause the room I am in only have a box for vip

[hushed oxide]

hmmm.. not sure if that would matter (like I genuine don't know if that would be the case)

be sure to kill the openvpn you had running before trying the new one, eh? 🙂

[robust tide]

oh it did 😛

hey were getting somewhere now

[hushed oxide]

yes?

ARE WE THERE CAPTAIN @robust tide ???

[robust tide]

yeah its asking for a pw now but the the provided does not work

https://gyazo.com/c76fe2e5da00fc0411c2f9bc05d2b34b

[hushed oxide]

what is 'it' in your context? openvpn? or the box?

oh well.. yeah

ok no this is an easy fix

[robust tide]

its annoying cause I know how to do all these tasks but I just want to complete all the basic ones first lol

[hushed oxide]

look at wht it does

it's trying to log YOUR username (josiah) into that box...

but you want to be Gary

[robust tide]

ah

*facepalm

[hushed oxide]

so it's fixed!

right?

[robust tide]

I'm on one tonight

were in boys 👍

[hushed oxide]

🥳

[robust tide]

cheers lads I really appreciate that

[hushed oxide]

No problem! next time you'll be helping me 😉

[robust tide]

I'll try not to be this dumb in the future haha

Anyone know why I keep disconnecting from the kali VM?

Having to reconnect every 5 seconds, doesn't seem to be a problem on my end.

[tribal quarry]

Hi !
Im testing dwm right now, but i cant change my default terminal
In my config i wrote " exec alacritty" but its still starting another terminal...

[hushed oxide]

@hidden wigeon it could just be a bad vm... try and spin one up again (and closing this one)

[tribal quarry]

Please help

[prisma nest]

one more thing , in my netwrok i should use vpn to access Internet . after that i established openvpn But i can't access anyport
is it normal i can't access ports ?

[long panther]

Hello all again,
i subscribed yesterday and i'm trying to use the kali box.
I get's deployed normally and i can use it through browser and rdp but it's responding really slow
My internet connection is stable, i have 50mpbs speed, i tried restarting my computer and the ISP router as well, the issue remaind and it doesn't seem to be from my side.
I also tried terminating the vm and try again (the same issue remains from yesterday).

Any ideas?

[deep trellis]

Try RDP'ing into it

And set your color bit-depth to 16

[long panther]

I currently am

i thought about the colour but with my speed is shouldn't be a problem

i'll give it a try

Well my rdp client only has 15bit colors as the lowest option. i selected that.
colors seems to be a factor, it got quite better but still it is lagging a bit

thx for your advice

[barren birch]

Link should still be up @slim heath 🙂

[leaden token]

works fine ^^

[eager fulcrum]

@slim heath deploy

[barren birch]

Oh

That link

[soft totem]

any idea why my openvpn won't connect? (running on windows, access page says i'm connected but vpn says it fails. Also can't connect to the test server.

nevermind, i got openvpn to connect but still can't connect to boxes.

[dull hull]

Question if this not allowed here please for give me it is this I have a keyboard I am using with a broken space bar there anyway to change my space bar to right alt or right shift ?

Think that should have a spoiler tag imo @dawn hatch :)

[soft totem]

@dull hull quick google i found this - MapKayboard

[dawn hatch]

Think that should have a spoiler tag imo @dawn hatch :)
@dull hull its not spoiling if its not working

[soft totem]

i'll leave it to you to research if it's good or not. (check security too please, i didn't do this)

[dull hull]

Is it for kali ? @soft totem

[soft totem]

think windows but if you're on vm it might work

[eager fulcrum]

@soft totem Don't trust the access page firstly

[soft totem]

@eager fulcrum was on a forum that i literally google in 3 seconds, so as i said please check 😛

[eager fulcrum]

Huh?

No I was talking about your issue

[soft totem]

@dull hull maybe you can create a key combination in ur vm like ctrl right alt to act as space?

ohhh sorry xd

[dull hull]

Yea I just wish logitech g hub would work on kali

[soft totem]

@eager fulcrum i'll give it all a reboot shortly and mess about again. didn't know if there was something i didn't know.

[eager fulcrum]

!multivpn sometimes

From TryHackMe with ❤!

[eager fulcrum]

oh windows

hmm

[soft totem]

yeah, i broke my vm and haven't remade it yet.

[eager fulcrum]

Windows means multivpn doesn't apply exactly

Logs indicate anything

[soft totem]

well since i fixed the issue i had it now connects to openvpn but no logs don't say anything.

[eager fulcrum]

Weird

I mean does it now work for accessing rooms too?

[zealous yoke]

there’s very limited troubleshooting for OpenVPN Windows on the docs site

[dull hull]

Open VPN great but not very friendly on windows

[zealous yoke]

^

[eager fulcrum]

Works fine for me

[zealous yoke]

I think it’s to do with the version of the TAP driver / adapter thingy mabob

like remember that what zenmap issue a lil’ while ago

[eager fulcrum]

But zenmap over the VPN was working for me so I think it's just a little hit or miss

[zealous yoke]

Yea and it wasn’t for me or the guy - never something I really investigated more into other then it just being as you said hit or miss 😅

[vocal wasp]

how do i use openjdk 8 instead of openjdk 13

[barren birch]

@vocal wasp I had that one as well

Try using the subscriber Kali

SSH into it and it works

[latent fable]

java must die

[vocal wasp]

but i want to learn how to fix my stuff

[zealous yoke]

This looks like my room

[barren birch]

It is your room

Yeah, Ok @zealous yoke -- since you're here

How would you fix that?

[latent fable]

that's honestly the fix, @vocal wasp. Spin up a new VM and install the right version. Java just spreads everywhere

[eager fulcrum]

@vocal wasp you're doing java -jar right?

[vocal wasp]

ya

[eager fulcrum]

So you can specify the full path to a java8 binary and use that instead

[vocal wasp]

either use jdk8 or recompile it seems like

[zealous yoke]

It shouldn’t matter the jdk version. The materials attached I added to make sure local environments don’t conflict on a default kali

[vocal wasp]

but i don't know where to get the source code to recompile ysoserial.jar

sado

[latent fable]

I've seen others have the same issue, cmn

[barren birch]

Yeah, it breaks if you've upgraded @zealous yoke

I tried that one @vocal wasp

Didn't end well

[latent fable]

I advice installing the right version on a fresh vm -- or just using the thm-kali one

[vocal wasp]

thought it was going to be a manually walk though of how to create it by hand

@latent fable Don't like the thm-kali one

always skip using it

[latent fable]

then make a new vm

[zealous yoke]

I tested with Kali 2020 and the THM vm

[vocal wasp]

thm 2020 kali never spawned

only the 2018 one

[latent fable]

2020 works fine

[zealous yoke]

Mhm - I’m about to go on shift but that sounds like a big issue @barren birch. Quite a lot of people have completed it though

[barren birch]

Oh yeah, it's definitely work around-able

[soft totem]

I mean does it now work for accessing rooms too?
@eager fulcrum Nope

[barren birch]

Stay safe!

[zealous yoke]

Well, a fair few

[latent fable]

debugging is part of the learning experience, and as much as I like to rake on Java, it's a real life issue any pentester will run into in the forseeable future

better they run into it now than later

[barren birch]

^^

[zealous yoke]

Cheers buddy @barren birch. Uhm I kinda assumed it was going okay for people since I haven’t been @‘d (that I’ve seen) but when I finish, I’ll investigate - feel free to DM if you think it’ll be easier

(Although I cant rely on being @‘d tbh)

[vocal wasp]

fixed it

without THM vm

check mate guitarist

[latent fable]

@zealous yoke you have hereby been @'ed

[zealous yoke]

how so if I may ask? @vocal wasp

Just so I know if I need to take another look at it is all

[vocal wasp]

installed openjdk-8-jdk and switched my default java on linux

will dm you the commands and links

if you want to change the room

[zealous yoke]

Oh so you had to had openjdk 8?

[vocal wasp]

didn't work on openjdk 8

i mean 13

or 10

[zealous yoke]

Oh

[vocal wasp]

do you want me to dm you the info or is that enough

[zealous yoke]

Roger dodger - that’s odd. I’ll get to that after my shift. TY dude

No that’s all okay for me 🙂 @vocal wasp

[eager fulcrum]

@latent fable Also a lot of BMCs have Java clients so it's useful to learn for sysadmins

[zealous yoke]

Do you know what release of Kali you’re using by any chance @vocal wasp?

[zealous yoke]

O.o okay - thanks. I’ll take a look into that when I can

[latent fable]

that should've worked out of the box

[zealous yoke]

yeah :///

[vocal wasp]

N0p3

[zealous yoke]

thanks for detailing. I’ll investigate after I get back

[vocal wasp]

finally

@zealous yoke have fun with changing that

[eager fulcrum]

@eager fulcrum myb but even if someone puts it in on their acc they aint gonna get anywhere if they then start going round with no connection lol

[eager fulcrum]

@soft totem Just the rules, no flags/answers

[soft totem]

all good

i'm supposed to be able to connect to the box in windows via just pasting the ip in the browser url bar right?

[small wraith]

@vocal wasp since the Jumbo release of JTR has so many additions from the community, its not super well documented

[vocal wasp]

jtr?

[small wraith]

Netmux's Hashcrack has a fair number of the formats documented

John The Ripper

[vocal wasp]

oh

what is hashcrack?

hashcat?

[small wraith]

no, hashcrack was a small field manual that Netmux put together

one sec, i can clip the page with the JTR formats at the time it was published

might be some missing or some changed since this sheet was put out, its from an older version of the manual

[vocal wasp]

or just buy the book

[small wraith]

yeah, you can buy the most recent version as well, that also works

but even then, there are still likely modes that have changed or been added since then

the better way to get the format list is to do ./john --list=formats since it should give you only the formats that will run in your version iirc

[vocal wasp]

oh that would be helpful

[small wraith]

depending on how you compiled john and what options/libs/deps you included, many formats will be different/missing

[vocal wasp]

aaaahhh wish someone told me that

long time ago

[small wraith]

for example, if you didnt compile with OpenCL support configured, dont expect them to be present lol

[vocal wasp]

@small wraith

[small wraith]

JTR has a pretty significant amount of configuration for its env to operate at full capacity

[vocal wasp]

@zealous yoke other than the java not working that was a nice box

[small wraith]

when you go to build it, you can see your env support in the output of ./configure

this summary will give you pretty much all the info you really need to know if modes/tools will be inoperable or missing

if you see a no instead of a yes on any of those, you are missing stuff

[vocal wasp]

old on professor "as I try to write this all down

hold

[small wraith]

lol

There are also internal versions of some of the modes that will be included/missing based on the instructions your processor has

but those likely wont be important enough for you to notice

what was your issue with hashcat? and what were you trying to accomplish/crack? might be a quicker way to get there, probably don't need all the john deps/libs if its just some MD5s or something simple

[vocal wasp]

how do you check your config?

or does that only work with the source code version of JTR

[small wraith]

when you pull from git, navigate into the src folder and run ./configure

oh, do you have a precompiled version?

[vocal wasp]

john comes with kali

[small wraith]

right, but its premade and not in a git dir?

cant just git pull and make clean?

[vocal wasp]

the compiled one is missing some of the 2john files

would configure fix that

[small wraith]

only for a few of them, mostly based on libpcap being present i think

if they are missing, you likely have either an outdated version of john or they were deprecated

[eager fulcrum]

@soft totem only if the machine is running a webserver

[small wraith]

i know they went through and deprecated a number of the extract scripts a while back before the recent release, were redoing them/updating them

they are still present in the repo, but not in the same folder as before

and i guess that doesnt really matter if you dont have the cloned repo and just have some prebuilt version

since they will just be absent in that case

[vocal wasp]

yeet what is the difference between JTR and JTR jumbo

[small wraith]

JTR Jumbo is the maintained community version, it includes a lot of contributions and i believe is the most up to date branch at any given time

the normal JTR release doesnt include as much stuff, is on a release cycle, and is usually significantly behind the community jumbo, but is considered the stable release version

Last "core" release for JTR was Apr 2019

[vocal wasp]

oh that makes more sense

[small wraith]

Yeah, unless you have some really specific requirements for stability, the community Jumbo branch is pretty much the default

I don't actually know anyone who runs the core branch instead

granted, jumbo is based on the core tree, but there so many more changes and additions that its far more useful imo

[vocal wasp]

can you link /johntheripper/run to /usr/bin/john to get the ssh2john and other stuff or will that break it

ln -s /opt/john/run/ /usr/bin/john

[small wraith]

uhh that might be a little iffy if there are conflicting versions of some of the scripts present

[vocal wasp]

oh ok

[small wraith]

assuming you have the installed john and one you cloned

you definitely dont want to get weird and mix the two

since the scripts get updates sometimes too and different versions of the same script would produce some odd behavior probably

[vocal wasp]

ah ok

[signal rune]

Hello everyone! Does anyone here know how you would run linpeas.sh(https://github.com/carlospolop/privilege-escalation-awesome-scripts-suite/blob/master/linPEAS/linpeas.sh) locally without a simplehttpserver?

./linpeas.sh gives this:

./linpeas.sh: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./linpeas.sh: line 1: `<!DOCTYPE html>'```

but the script works if you use this instead, which needs an active internet connection:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carlospolop/privilege-escalation-awesome-scripts-suite/master/linPEAS/linpeas.sh | sh```

[eager fulcrum]

You didn't download it right

You downloaded a HTML page

if you download with wget, you need to use that raw. link

[signal rune]

oh wait

yeah my bad haha

thank you!

[violet flame]

hi
im having a problem when connecting to the vpn
im stuck here

and so on

i need help i want to subscribe but i tried first found that nothing works for me

[eager fulcrum]

Check your system time

And regenerate your config.

[violet flame]

i tried this

not working it openvpn works on hackthebox

[eager fulcrum]

Those are the only fixes, try again

[violet flame]

is there any way to make it work over tcp not udb ??

only fixes you think !!

[hushed oxide]

@violet flame are you sudo'ing the openvpn command?

[violet flame]

sure im not a noob !
i serch google but nothing

can i use the vpn server using tcp port becuse it might be blocked in my country

i mean udb port 1194 might be blocked

@vapid dawn Any other fixes?

[hushed oxide]

@violet flame Well, sorry.. everybody makes mistakes or forgets sometimes. It was just to check.

[vapid dawn]

we don't support TCP

the restart will fix it

so you just need to keep it running

if it breaks, you can just kill it and start it again

[violet flame]

restart and regenerate still not work after 1 hour of restarting

[vapid dawn]

your timezone needs to be synced with NTP /be accurate

and you need to only have one openvpn connection running

[violet flame]

Stile not Working Thanks i think i will cancel my account and go for Hack the box it works fine

@glacial crane https://support.fastestvpn.com/tutorials/linux/arch/openvpn

Just the pacman bit I guess

[glacial crane]

@eager fulcrum Thanks. I'm unsure if this will solve my problem though... I was looking for something like $ sudo apt-get openvpn

[eager fulcrum]

Yeah that's a commercial VPN company

So

They're giving instructions to their clients to install a client to access their services

@naive dust yes

I'm sure you'll have tried this already but I find doing a google search for cheat sheets sometimes helps, cuts a lot of the crap out of man and gets you right where you need to be.

Fair play

I'll finish my current topic and I'll go back to CC pentesting.

how should i be connecting to the room boxes? i can connect to my own kali box just fine but not the room boxes. going via web browser doesn't work and for ssh it doesn't accept any passwords i throw at it.

Unless it's UFW

[rotund spruce]

@rugged crater As a subscriber, are you using the VIP VPN server?

Or one of the other servers?

[rugged crater]

Maybe that's the issue, I haven't done much regarding the VPN, currently on windows and just directly used the browser to access

Is there any documentation I can follow to setup a speedier connection on windows?

[rotund spruce]

Well if you're using the browser versions of the machines, the VPN shouldn't matter. Site might just be busy at different times. I think there's planned work to improve that this week

[rugged crater]

So do you think for the time being it would just be faster to use a virtual version of kali on my device with the openvpn setup?

[rotund spruce]

It depends on where the trouble actually is. I personally use the VPN on a Kali VM and it works fine. I've not had any real lag issues with target machines. Have you tested your own broadband speed and ensured all is working ok there?

[flat cliff]

I have been having the same issues

I had them yesterday too, but yeah I have missed flags on this nessus room. Been rescanning all day because network issues keep messing with my scan and leaves me missing information. Same with Blue yesterday, I had to keep re-exploitinng the box because I would lose connectivity with it over and over again. Has there been issues with traffic to the site lately?

TryHackMe

• Step 1

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

Type killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter

• Step 4

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

[supple spire]

ok 2 questions (pretty sure it's because I'm a pleb using kali on WSL).
I can't even ping anything on the network, but under my profile, it shows I'm connected. ifconfig shows the proper address within the VPN. I checked with the online Kali VM, and that worked, so I know it's something to do with my setup.

the way I'm testing my connection through the openvpn room.

[eager fulcrum]

WSL doesn't really work well

Make a kali VM

Best way

Or use the sub one

[supple spire]

figured lol. was mainly seeing if there was a way to make it work. between the xserver and tons of PATH changes I had to make, been more of a hassle than its worth.

this may be a dumb question, but can I get openVPN for mac working?

[red musk]

how do you even acces the deployed machine

[merry arch]

through the IP Address, it's an http error

[red musk]

so i deployed the machine

and went to " http://my ip:3000"

and get nothing

[merry arch]

you simply type your active machine ip address in the url, but you also need to be connected with OpenVPN

it should work this way, yesterday it did work

[red musk]

so you just copy paste the ip and it should work?

[merry arch]

yes, as this is equivalent to a normal url like google.com

[red musk]

yes ik and im trying

[merry arch]

do you get any http errors?

[red musk]

no i just cant find the website

i connected to the vpn, deployed the machine got the ip waited for 3-10 mins and nothing

i tryed with my ip alone and with the hole http thing

[merry arch]

and what did you see when you tried to connect

i mean to access the website

[red musk]

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 10.10.212.194.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

oh im dumb af

@simple wagon anybody?

[small wraith]

@untold ibex CL_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND is due to missing/broken runtime or ICD loader

make sure you have the Intel OpenCL drivers installed

(yes, intel, i know its an AMD CPU but the intel runtime is far closer to being in spec than the others available and will work)

[untold ibex]

I'll give it a shot, currently running rocm for AMD

[small wraith]

for CPU or GPU?

ROCm is actually suggested for AMD GPUs on linux

but intel's runtime is suggested for AMD CPUs

[untold ibex]

running it in VMWare so AMD CPU

[small wraith]

oh ok, then yeah you will want intels runtime

have to suggest away from VMs in general, because of how they expose hardware devices and limitations related to it, but if the runtime is present and the icd loader isnt messed up, it should work

[eager fulcrum]

Suggest away from cracking in a VM

[untold ibex]

My vm's are more powerfull than my laptop that I have laying about, so my preference is running vm's on my tower

[eager fulcrum]

Does your tower have a GPU?

You can crack on that on the host OS

[untold ibex]

Single GPU, but yea

[eager fulcrum]

You can crack on that

Hashcat for windows exists

[small wraith]

^

[untold ibex]

hmm, it'll add another step but it could work! Thank you

[small wraith]

And yes, VMs are good for lots of things, but low level hardware access can be a problem for computing

[eager fulcrum]

It adds a "Copy/paste hash" step really

[small wraith]

unless its a hypervisor or properly passing the devices through

[untold ibex]

VT-d etc?

[small wraith]

in which case, its totally fine, only a tiny penalty in performance at most

[eager fulcrum]

All virtualisation software is a hypervisor btw

[small wraith]

Type 2 i meant

like Xen/ESXi

wait is that not type 2

i get my types mixed up

type 1?

yes, Type 1

[untold ibex]

Are they an option in VMWare?

[small wraith]

VMWare actually passes hardware decently well

i've been mostly happy with it

[untold ibex]

I have Intel VT-x/EPT and AMD-V/RVI turned on

[small wraith]

but it can be buggy with some chipsets

like, for example, if you do lscpu on many intel chips, you'll get bad info back

intel xeon 0000 and such

But if you pass through your GPU, you don't get to use it on your host OS at that time

[untold ibex]

I'm happy with running a Ryzen 7 2700

[eager fulcrum]

Easiest is crack on the host TBH

[untold ibex]

How does kali do it though?

I can crack perfectly fine on that through VM

[small wraith]

How does kali do what

o

with what device?

[untold ibex]

Hashcat

I'll boot it, sec

[small wraith]

right, what device does hashcat see?

you can do ./hashcat -I to check

it will give you full runtime info

[untold ibex]

I'll screenshot it!

[small wraith]

that works

[untold ibex]

This is on Kali

Manjaro is booting

[rapid magnet]

can someone help me i can't connect to the room? i created a room and when i type in the ip address in my browser it say's that it doesn't exist.

[untold ibex]

did you connect to the vpn?

[rapid magnet]

yes and i ran it as an administrator and the website says that the connection is okhee

[untold ibex]

... I never send the kali one..

This is manjaro

[small wraith]

Well that doesnt look good

[eager fulcrum]

@rapid magnet Not all machines run a web server, you can't just open it in the browser and expect stuff to be there

[small wraith]

What runtime is that? it doesnt seem to have any opencl device IDs at all

which means it cant see any of your hardware properly

not just hashcat can't, but the runtime itself can't

[untold ibex]

clinfo

[small wraith]

oh jesus man

[untold ibex]

do you know of a way to fix it?

[small wraith]

beignet?

[untold ibex]

installed

[small wraith]

based on the error rate for a simple device query

i would not call that "runs fine"

[untold ibex]

me either

[small wraith]

beignet isnt even a supported runtime for hashcat, so that's probably a good place to start, removing that and installing the intel runtime properly

we even had to add additional warnings for beignet recently

[untold ibex]

pacman -R beignet?

[small wraith]

yeah, remove all opencl runtimes that are there and install the proper ones

[rapid magnet]

but in my assignment description it says: "in the brower a web aplication named Wacko Pico wil be loaded. use this to answer the questions on the website"

[untold ibex]

clinfo outputs

Number of platform 0

I think I removed all opencl runtimes

[small wraith]

ok

Intel CPUs require "OpenCL Runtime for Intel Core and Intel Xeon Processors" (16.1.1 or later)

this is the current driver base we recommend

let me see if there is a package for arch

[untold ibex]

thank you so much!

[small wraith]

can you run

$ ls /etc/OpenCL/vendors

to check if youve cleared the ones present

[untold ibex]

I can't even autocomplete it

No such file or directory

[small wraith]

good

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-opencl-runtime/

this is the runtime package you want

[untold ibex]

okay, building now

[eager fulcrum]

@rapid magnet Are you connected to the OpenVPN?

[small wraith]

you also want the icd loader and headers

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=ocl-icd

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=opencl-headers

[untold ibex]

What are they for?

[rapid magnet]

yes i am connected

[eager fulcrum]

!vpn

[sharp bison]

TryHackMe

Learn how to use OpenVPN to connect to our network!

https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn

From TryHackMe with ❤!

[eager fulcrum]

Check with this

[untold ibex]

They're both already installed

[small wraith]

good

thats fine if they are there

[eager fulcrum]

Then you might have to find out what port the webserver is running on @rapid magnet if it's not working and the OpenVPN room works

[untold ibex]

or regerate your ovpn file

[eager fulcrum]

Regenerate isn't a fix for everything

[rapid magnet]

@eager fulcrum yea tought of that but where should i find that port it isnt listed in that room

[eager fulcrum]

@rapid magnet Check your VPN is working first.

Then you can find the port

[untold ibex]

clinfo

Number of platforms 1

and a whole lot of text

[small wraith]

good

what does ./hashcat -I say

[rapid magnet]

o it is working now i had to wait a hot minute ty

[eager fulcrum]

@rapid magnet When you click deploy, it boots a VM just for you. Takes a while sometimes

[untold ibex]

now when I run hashcat it mentions that I have insufficient memory available to crash with rockyou

at least it "works" now

[leaden token]

ryzen 7 with 4GB?

[untold ibex]

no clue tbh

[eager fulcrum]

huh?

@leaden token Ryzen 7 is a CPU

[untold ibex]

but I believe it is mentioning my VRAM?

[eager fulcrum]

Nope

because you're cracking on a CPU

[leaden token]

wait

i meant like

[small wraith]

Good

[leaden token]

4GB with Ryzen 7 is ~not good

[small wraith]

you now have a proper runtime

If you are out of memory, since its a VM, just give it more?

what's the error it gives

[untold ibex]

it already is munching on 8GB XD

[small wraith]

Hmm

[untold ibex]

I need another RAM stick

[small wraith]

that seems like plenty

Can you screenshot the error? it might be something else, most attacks only require a few hundred mb, to maybe a gb or two

hashcat will tell you how much host RAM it expects from an attack when you start it

[small wraith]

oh

its the command

its trying the wordlist as the hash list

[leaden token]

yeah, it's the other way around

hash and then wordlist

[untold ibex]

[small wraith]

lol

happens to the best of us, dont worry

[leaden token]

^^

[small wraith]

i fat finger commands constantly, and i wrote some of the syntax i use most lol

[untold ibex]

but I still couldn't have had it running without your help, thank you 🤝

[small wraith]

🙂

you may also find it beneficial to grab the latest hashcat and try with that

we've made some serious improvements since 5.1.0

and are nearing release for 6.0.0

[untold ibex]

I keep notes of the commands I regularly so I can copy paste

[small wraith]

you can either build from the github or just grab from hashcat.net/beta/

to use the most recent beta build

[untold ibex]

I'll check it out

for now I'm really happy that I can start hacking again xD

This was my one block to finish The Cod Caper room

[small wraith]

Yeah, runtime conflicts are something we've been trying to deal with for a while so this stuff doesnt happen

but so many runtimes are out of spec or missbehave that it's hard to accept them

We list the suggest runtimes as requirements for that reason, so many issues we get are because some 3rd party runtime is missbehaving and its out of our control

Even intel's runtime was broken for several versions, wouldn't compile the kernels correctly

but it's working decently well now

[untold ibex]

good to hear it's finally behaving

and I'll admit, I prefer Hashcat over John

[small wraith]

I have to agree, being on the hashcat team 😛

Though i do still think John and other tools have their place as well

I use a whole range of tools, not just hashcat, but they each have their own specific uses

[flint pond]

Working on material in Learn Linux I deployed the VM yesterday and want to continue working on assignments today I'm not able to access via ssh deployed vm

[eager fulcrum]

@flint pond You need to deploy it again

They expire after 1 hour unless you extend them

[flint pond]

I selected in options leave room when I select join room it instantly joins but does not give option to deploy

[eager fulcrum]

VMs are attached to tasks, not rooms @flint pond

You don't need to leave a room either

The deploy button is in the task, where it was last time

[flint pond]

Thank you

redeployed

[tranquil flume]

Hello, someone can help me ?

[eager fulcrum]

@tranquil flume You need to actually state your issue.

@deep trellis what's the fix for the guac login thing?

[naive dust]

How can I pay or a 1 month subscription with PayPal? I only see the option to pay for 3, 6 or 12 months

[eager fulcrum]

@naive dust You can't

[tranquil flume]

How I should resolve this issue? I have try with my logs of my TryHackMe account

[eager fulcrum]

I want to say it's tryhackme:tryhackme

But I think you need to terminate and redeploy

[tranquil flume]

I want to say it's tryhackme:tryhackme
@eager fulcrum It doesn't work

But I think you need to terminate and redeploy
@eager fulcrum I have try to undeploy/deploy, logout/log in, try on other web browser and it doesn't work

[barren birch]

Sounds like the same problem I was having a while back. That was a Skidy fix at the back end

[eager fulcrum]

@deep trellis You might have to do the fix again

Skidy had to fix it for me too

[barren birch]

Oh dear..

[tranquil flume]

@barren birch How can I do this bug again to avoid to have it again

[deep trellis]

@tranquil flume whats your THM username?

[tranquil flume]

@deep trellis that's Hocrin

[deep trellis]

@deep trellis that's Hocrin
@tranquil flume Terminate the machine, and redeploy now:)

[tranquil flume]

@deep trellis okay ! thank's a lot !

[naive dust]

@eager fulcrum That's a bummer. Unfortunately PayPal says the recipient does not accept my bank for some reason.

[eager fulcrum]

@naive dust the recurring payments can be cancelled after a month if you want to buy a single one

Uses Stripe

[naive dust]

I'm unfamiliar with that

PayPal is the only listed option for me, I do not have a credit card

[eager fulcrum]

Debit card works

@naive dust

[naive dust]

We don't have that system in our country

[tranquil flume]

@deep trellis sorry again but It still doesn't work, I have try in chrome private navigation tabs

[deep trellis]

Lets take this into a private convo

[eager fulcrum]

@naive dust It's a standard credit/debit card

[naive dust]

It doesn't work like that in my country. But PayPal seems to work now. For some reason it assumed I lived in the UK, after changing the country, the payment went through

[eager fulcrum]

It works with any bank card, but OK

[untold ibex]

Guys, I'm trying to do RP: PS Empire but after installing Empire I got a message saying missing future, so I installed that and simplejson since it needed it. Now it gives no more package errors but at this point it says that it couldn't connect to a db..

I followed the steps in the room

[icy hill]

so

im scared af rn, but if i am to dd if=/dev/my_current_root_partition of=/dev/different_hdd_partition
Will that copy and not wipe my current? i know it creates an .img file, just worried itll bomb my whole sys

[rotund spruce]

The dd command will copy the filesystem partition byte for byte. It will overwrite the content on the target location

[icy hill]

ok so in the simplest way to ask it, its copy pasting, not cut pasting right?

im pretty sure it just copies but i gotta be 100% so i dont wipe everythin

[rotund spruce]

Yeah it's a copy. You should read the man page or the wikipedia article here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)

[icy hill]

thanks broski i shall

last thing, which wouldnt be on the man, im copying my current linux boot to a separate hdd so i can save it, would it be bootable from that second drive if i ever was to need it?

(prob would have to have a bootloader...)

[barren birch]

If you copy the whole drive including your bootfiles? It should be bootable (theoretically)

A dd of a bootable drive should give another bootable drive, because it literally copies stuff byte by byte

[icy hill]

well im only copying a partition, but i can copy the boot partition as well

agreed

[barren birch]

Probably easier to just copy what you need and slot it in if and when it's necessary

Bootloaders are ten-a-penny

[icy hill]

so on the new hdd i should create an ext4 for the root copy and then the bootloader to a boot partition but idk if i could make one custom XD

i gotta do this stuff more 😑

what u mean by ten-a-penny?

[barren birch]

Very easy to get

[icy hill]

oh haha i thought the opposite when i read that lol

ok

welp

just realized i totally deleted my boot drive accidentally XD

@barren birch copying wouldnt work if its gone i guess... how do u create a bootloader for an os?

one thing i know VERY minimal about

[barren birch]

Uh, are you still booted up?

And what OS?

[icy hill]

yeh thankfully i havent shut this down yet

its kali... as to why im switching lol

(it was amazing and treated me very well but just isnt a all around good enough option for day to day)

[barren birch]

Theoretically just doing sudo apt install grub should fix it

[icy hill]

WTH really?!

[barren birch]

I say theoretically

[icy hill]

i did it haha

ill check my disks

[barren birch]

I also may have got the wrong command

[icy hill]

no it went through

[barren birch]

Ah, good

Well, if you now have a /boot directory again

you're good
