Hey, i'm trying to do the learn linux room, am trying to establish one of those SSH connections with Putty, however whenever i connect putty freezes and i get a timeout. Anyone knows why? (already reseted the machine a few times)

barren birch
#

Try doing it through the Subscriber Kali machine, or using powershell on your own PC 🙂

weary folio
#

openvpn keeps crashing for me

eager fulcrum
#

@neat radish You need to be VPN'd

#

@weary folio ??

weary folio
#

@eager fulcrum

#

OpenVPN crashes everytime I click connect

eager fulcrum
#

@weary folio Ok. When troubleshooting, you need to provide a LOT more detail

weary folio
#

"All Tap-WINDOWS adapters on this system are currently in use"

#

@eager fulcrum

#

Then it crashes open-vpn "Connecting to finesse has failed"

eager fulcrum
#

Doesn't sound like a crash, sounds like a graceful exit with an error

#

Google the tap adapters message

weary folio
#

uhh

#

it also says "CreateFile failed on TAP device"

eager fulcrum
#

Basic google skills will get you a long way

icy hill
#

Guys i need some help on some stupid questions of mine that are too dumb for Google lol

#

So If I am to dd my root fs over to a new harddrive, it'll make an img file, so I'd need to have a file system on there to put the file on, but I Want this to eventually be bootable lol, so the fs I'd put is ext4

#

Maybe I'm just stupid and overthinking rn xD

eager fulcrum
#

You can dd to a file, or dd to a drive

#

Like raw bit for bit copies are possible

icy hill
#

Oh ok so it doesn't always have to be an img that makes more sense

#

If I dd it to like an ext4 partition will it only take that up?

eager fulcrum
#

No idea

icy hill
#

I need the extra hdd space in the drive

#

Hm ok

eager fulcrum
#

I use clonezilla for cloning drives

#

Keeps em bootable

icy hill
#

Yeh i need it bootable

#

But don't know how to go bout it

#

Rn the current boot partition of my os is GONE haha so I can't just dd that too

#

Running off a backup live cd

vocal wasp
#

is it just me or is the tryhackme site missing it's https cert?

#

• 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>

dull estuary

only one connection

#

Done

Is the site running really slow for anyone?

no thats just u

Hmm weird. Hackthebox is running fine. It was like this yesterdday to

see what is the latency

There's an issue with site performance as a whole, there's scheduled maintenance scheduled for Friday to improve this! @willow flower But also yes, checking latency between the two sites as @clever plaza suggested 🙂

@clever plaza @zealous yoke ok cool thanks guys. It's not terrible but was just wondering if the issue was on my end or not

It's been running a tad slow at the best of times, hopefully the fixes tomorrow will improve site performance as said in #announcements ^^

unable to ping the "Alfred" box. Other boxes are working just fine but no matter how much I re-deploy the box, I cannot ping

#

Swapped to vip server and have the same issue

naive dust
#

Windows boxes have ping disabled usually @formal tundra

#

It's not a problem with the box

formal tundra
#

Can't run nmap against it either

naive dust
#

You have to specify you don't want it to use ping probes

#

oh i see huh, never seen before ^^

naive dust

thanks 🙂 I just had never seen a box with ping disabled, ty!

What's the issue @calm needle? 🙂

calm needle

so basically i have paid 10dollars for my account. and 2 days later my account is no longer a subscriber one. it asks me to pay if you want to subscribe when i've already subscribed

Hey guys, I bought a premium account last night, for whatever reason I'm trying to sign in today and its not taking my credentials, I've attempted to reset the password but no email is coming its been over an hour now... :/

Thank you 🙂

kind estuary
#

just came through everyone can go back to what they were doing!

cobalt spire
#

@eager fulcrum thanx, I've chaged the time but that didn't work, any other cause?

eager fulcrum
#

Regenerate the config maybe

#

Make sure your machine has internet too

cobalt spire
#

I regenerated it and tested and it's still the same, even I've tried on my host machine, isn't it possible a problem with my account?

eager fulcrum
#

Unlikely

naive dust
#

It might sound basic but is your system fully up-to-date, are you running Kali or another OS?

cobalt spire
#

yes, I'm running kali

naive dust
#

Do you have any specific firewall settings that could be blocking it, could it be how your VM network software is configured?

#

Sorry if you've tried all this just trying to think of things..

cobalt spire
#

don't worry, thanks. No, I don't have any firewall and in order to avoid some misconfiguration it is why I tried to run it also on my host machine, but the result is the same

I'm unable to get burpsuite working
I've set my firefox proxy settings to loopback on port 8080 but when I try and visit a site it says "proxy is refusing connections" I've restored defaults to burp and followed a few guides and video guides but still not much luck. Has anybody had a similar issue beofre?

#

anybody else saw their rank drop significantly overnight after today's maintenance?!

Guys, I'm doing the Google CTF, and I have a MIPS executable that I can't execute and it's driving me nuts.

open fog
#

what's the ip address for the "Learn Linux" machine?

crystal osprey
#

Deploy it and it will show up

open fog
#

I'm trying to connect to it using putty

#

I already deployed it yesterday

#

the button deploy doesn't show up now

#

help plz

naive dust
#

Have you refreshed the page?

open fog
#

I just did

#

noting happened

naive dust
#

Which topic are you doing?

open fog
#

Learn Linux

naive dust
#

You're looking at task one yes?

#

As that is where the deploy button should be?

open fog
#

I'm now at task 11

#

I did complete all the other tasks before

naive dust
#

Yes but the deploy button is on task 1, so you'll have to deploy from there.

#

It doesn't follow you on the tasks, it will be in a set place.

#

Whenever the topic wants you to deploy it will place a button in a task.

open fog
#

My bad

#

Thank you so much man

Not a problem. 🙂

fathom hazel
#

Hello guys! I just joined TryHackMe, and have installed OpenVPN and added a config file. The problem is that when I connect, my internet access is gone. Anyone know how to solve this? Sorry if this is not the right place to post

naive dust
#

What OS are you using Kali?

#

Are you using a VM?

fathom hazel
#

I'm on Windows, and no I'm not using a VPN other than OpenVPN

naive dust
#

To my understanding if you are just running windows and running the VPN then it would only allow you to connect through to THM. I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.

eager fulcrum
#

It won't affect your internet unless something else is broken

tight fiber
#

@naive dust Yeah I'm using VirtualBox and Kali.

naive dust
#

?

tight fiber
#

oh

#

uhh

#

pretend i never said anything

#

😄

scenic hazel
#

When I try to deploy the Kali machine in the browser it asks me for a 'Remote Tryhackme' username and password. What do I need to input there?

eager fulcrum
#

Terminate and redeploy

dawn hatch
#

@deep trellis I have just noticed that my level is down on the website.. I would be MAster soon, but the site shows that im only gona be Wizard soon, how come ?

#

As you can see I'm alrdy wizard(from discord)

celest sapphire
#

@dawn hatch point system was changed, probablt the reason why

dawn hatch
#

@dawn hatch point system was changed, probablt the reason why
@celest sapphire If im alrdy wizard how should that affect me ?

celest sapphire
#

because everyones points were changed, if they got below a level threshold the level would change

dawn hatch
#

I still dont get it.. so im a wizard now, after I level up, and do verify in discord i be like wizard again ? 😄

#

Have you level changed as wel ?

celest sapphire
#

i had enough points that i didn't get my level changed

dawn hatch
#

It's not fair, i was like 1-2k away from being master, now im not even wizard

celest sapphire
#

the rebalance isn't perfect, some people went down/up by a lot of places on a leaderboard

dawn hatch
#

again, that is not fair... still would love to hear from admins about it

#

And if I look at the leaderboard, im still wizard..

#

but the level system shows im omni

eager fulcrum
#

@dawn hatch The announcement details it

#

You keep your rank until you surpass it

dawn hatch
#

You keep your rank until you surpass it
@eager fulcrum meaning, I will be wizard at the next level up again ?

eager fulcrum
#

You'll get a new rank when you get enough XP for it

dawn hatch
#

oke, its just the current lvl progress that is confused me

rotund spruce
#

@dawn hatch From what I can gather, there's higher points for challenge questions and slightly lower for walkthrough questions. The highest rank you achieved is shown on your public profile and your current adjusted rank is on your private profile. They'll post about the points and how they're calculated once they're done with other work they're doing. It's all in the announcements

coral bison
#

Hi there I want some help with the vpn
Every time I connect I get "tls negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds"
Any HELP!!!

eager fulcrum
#

@coral bison Check your system time, regenerate your config.

coral bison
#

My system time is set correctly @eager fulcrum

eager fulcrum
#

Check it.

coral bison
#

Checked it @eager fulcrum

#

@eager fulcrum It's correct

eager fulcrum
#

Then regenerate your config.

coral bison
#

@eager fulcrum Done it but, still the same error

eager fulcrum
#

Then check your network connectivity, as the prompt says

#

Reboot etc

coral bison
#

@eager fulcrum
Checked my network connectivity "I am connected to the internet" then rebooted but, I have the same error

eager fulcrum
#

Welp I'm out of fixes

#

@coral bison Are you in a country that restricts VPN usage eg Egypt/China?

coral bison
#

@eager fulcrum
Am in Egypt

eager fulcrum
#

@coral bison Your government blocks VPNs. There's nothing you can do other than use the subscriber kali

coral bison
#

@eager fulcrum
Ok thx for your help

eager fulcrum
#

@deep trellis is it worth adding a note for this?

#

As much as I think involving politics is a bad idea, this has come up a few times

naive dust
#

Nothing to really do with politics

#

Either your country blocks it or it doesn't

eager fulcrum
#

Egypt is the only one we've hit so far here

#

But they're known for strong censorship and blocking VPNs

quartz moon
#

Anyone know why the "Basic Penetration Testing" room is set to private? Is it a server error? Is the author making changes? Is my rank just too low?

eager fulcrum
#

@quartz moon There's another version with "jt" on the end

#

That's the public one

#

Where did you get a link to the private one

coral bison
#

@eager fulcrum
Initially I was trying to connect from kali as a host machine
Then I switched to windows and tried to use hotspot shield vpn after I successfully connected I used openvpn for windows and connected with my config file and magically it worked I was able to connect successfully to TryHackMe vpn
Iam trying to replicate that on my kali machine

eager fulcrum
#

VPN inside a VPN gets iffy

#

If you can get it working, good.

coral bison
#

@eager fulcrum
It's the only solution I have for now
Again Thx for your help

quartz moon
#

Where did you get a link to the private one
@eager fulcrum From THM -> Goals under the OSCP goal

quartz moon
#

@quartz moon There's another version with "jt" on the end
@eager fulcrum JT I've completed. I hoped there was another room to help me get smarter...

#

Hi guys,

naive dust
#

You're sure about the IP address ?

copper mist
#

I accidentally killed my MSF reverse shell, can't rerun the exploit as the port is already in use, is there a way to kill the session or rejoin my shell?

feral dock
#

@copper mist You can kill sessions using: sessions -k <session id>

copper mist
#

Not returning any IDs

feral dock
#

You could also change LPORT and re run exploit

copper mist
#

FTP on another port?

#

As I'm not on the box I can't change port 21 so need to connect via ftp

naive dust
#

You can use lsof

#

lsof -ti TCP:<port> | xargs kill

#

Should work

copper mist
#

Yeah that worked! Cheers, just set me back a few steps 🙂

#

Better than restarting the box haha

naive dust
#

how long do i need to wait for the subscription to be activated ?

#

I'd have thought it should be instant as long as payment is confirmed?

#

not really instant been waiting for a while now

#

If you check your 'profile' page it should say subscribed.

#

alright let me check brb

#

nope 😄

#

Should look like that.. Although it will also show your payment type and how much you paid.

#

okay thanks ,ill just go wait its probably gonna be activated in an hour or soo

#

thanks for fast response

#

No problem.

#

Like I say it should usually be instant, it was for me.

#

ahh i wish

#

Will do 🙂

#

Oh and welcome to THM!

#

thank you for the warm welcome👍

So have you tried using windows update as it might realise there isn't a driver installed for your NIC and suggest the correct one for you.

lilac ocean
naive dust
#

Hmm...

#

What about going to device manager, highlighting the NIC right clicking and press 'update driver' that should force Windows to search for drivers?

lilac ocean
#

right now its doing these. as i am using internet from my cell phone hotspot its taking time to download

#

What about going to device manager, highlighting the NIC right clicking and press 'update driver' that should force Windows to search for drivers?
will be trying that next

naive dust
#

I think the main question here is why did you uninstall it?

lilac ocean
#

i wasnt able to visit pastebin.com as well as while doing nessus room it wont let me connect. while i could connect to that through my cell phone using the same internet connection

#

googled it saw some solutions tried those, one said uninstall drivers and after reboot its supposed to get the drivers on its own but it didnt

That's a DNS issue.

#

Have you tried flushing it?

eager fulcrum
#

Nx domain

#

Normally blocking?

naive dust
#

Open CMD and run iipconfig/flushdns

eager fulcrum
#

Well, could be blocking

lilac ocean
#

Open CMD and run iipconfig/flushdns
didnt worked

i can use it on my cell phone on same internet connection

also can access using a proxy

eager fulcrum
#

Set your own DNS servers

#

Don't use your ISPs.

lilac ocean
#

ok using 1.1.1.1 DNS

#

and it worked

#

earlier today it wasnt letting me change DNS for some reason

Yeah so your ISP is being either naughty or just plain bad

i am at hom

@lilac ocean Are you using PTCL?

VPN servers seem really unstable atm, VIP as well

#

Killed my VPN several times, keeps restarting lel

eager fulcrum
#

@deep trellis Couple reports of this, inc the THM Kali VM

copper mist
#

Unusable for me, dies every 20 seconds or so

vapid dawn
#

Can you send over the log output?

#

@eager fulcrum what exactly is happening with the VM?

eager fulcrum
#

Someone was reporting routing issues

#

As in couldn't interact with deployed VM

#

From the THM kali VM

copper mist
#

Just regenerated my pack, gets stuck on the restart pause

#

I think something is borked

vapid dawn
#

can you send over the full output please?

That way we can better see what's going on :)

Hey guys I have a payment Issue, is there any staff online

barren birch
#

Chances are that Skidy and Ashu are asleep

#

Dark, I do not believe, handles payments

#

What's the issue?

naive dust
#

I had a payment that was coming out, I forgot to put money in, so it bounced. So Ive out money into the account and tried to subscribe again trhough the website. It gives me an error "Invalid PaymentIntent status"

barren birch
#

Ah, yeah, that's definitely an Admin problem I'm afraid

naive dust
#

Fair enough, thank you 🙂

#

Will I get a faster responce there?

#

I got an email saying my subscription is cancelled

#

I can't say if it will be faster or not but that's the official manor in which your issue will be dealt with.

#

Okay thank you 🙂

barren birch
#

To be honest, chances are that the admins would tell you to email anyway. Figured I'd give them the option 🤷‍♂️

naive dust
#

Saves you waiting until an admin is available only for them to tell you to email so there is a paper trail.

#

barren birch

That might well be the better course action ^^

So i got OpenVPN installed but when i go to connect to my config file i get a error that says "All TAP-Windows adapters on this system are currently in use." i went through and tried to add a new TAP but it didn't seem to work.

#

kindly ignore my dumb question

copper mist
#

@vapid dawn @barren birch, sorry I didn't get back to you last night; how do you want the logs?

vapid dawn
#

If you're still having the issue, yes pls

copper mist
#

Yeah, started to happen again. Do I just copy the output from openvpn and my pack? Or is there a log file

vapid dawn
#

Copying the output is perfect!

copper mist
#

@vapid dawn, can I dm you?

vapid dawn
#

Can someone help me with setting up my Burp Suite? I set up the proxy in firefox, importet the certificate - but its not loading any websites at all (seems like its stuck in the loading process - without proxy its loading without any porblems) - Burp Suite is also open and the checkbox (for running in the proxy options) is set.

  • ps i'm using a vm of ubuntu, if thats relevant

@coral swan check the intercept is already on turn it off if you cannot load any site

its already intercepting the traffic.. by your message seems like its working fine the way its supposed to. check the "Proxy" tab

#

How would i do that

#

im getting error msges

#

im able to use pip3 but not pip

barren birch
#

sudo apt install python2-pip

lilac ocean
#

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python-pip
pip --version

barren birch
#

From memory that's it

elfin stream
#

lemme try

barren birch
#

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python-pip
pip --version
@lilac ocean that won't get pip2 if it's only pip3 that's installed

lilac ocean
#

ohkk

barren birch
#

Oh, wait

#

Misread it -- I'm not sure which is default in apt

#

It might work if python2 is still referred to as python 🙂

#

I'm curious now. Hmm

#

Just checking now, but you might well be right 😆

yea python is python 2.x and python3 is 3.x

I remember having to do this on a VM the other day, but I have a feeling python is actually right..

elfin stream
#

didnt work

barren birch
#

Right just trying now 🙂

elfin stream
#

ty

lilac ocean
#

did you typed first
sudo apt update
?

barren birch
#

@lilac ocean my apologies -- you were completely correct there 😛 . My memory is leaving me.

elfin stream
#

@lilac ocean Yes

#

Updating

lilac ocean
#

i think this should work:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-pip

barren birch
#

If it doesn't then you're missing a repo somewhere

lilac ocean
#

If it doesn't then you're missing a repo somewhere
if thats the issue then:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository universe

#

and after that use
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-pip

#

This should solve your problem hopefully

elfin stream
#

@lilac ocean did not

#

hmmm

lilac ocean
#

can you share whats the response you are getting?

elfin stream
#

apt-get install python-pip

#

wtf my copy and paste having issues

#

one sec lol

lilac ocean
#

then i think you are missing repo

#

try
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-pip

#

check if this helps.. just copy and run these in order

Can anyone explain steghide to me. whenever i try to extract from it, it always asks for a password. I'm pretty sure there is no password tho.

celest sapphire
#

steghide always asks for a password
if there is none you just press enter and the password will be effectively blank

soft totem
#

i assume if it then says i couldn't extract anything there isn't anything to extract?

celest sapphire

it either means there is no embedded data or that the password is invalid

hi guys, I have 2 questions on hydra (http-post-form):

  1. I have to bruteforce a php login page without user field, so the right syntax is using "-l 'admin' " or "-l '' " ? or other?
  2. where can I find the exact Request Body to insert? ok the syntax is “<Login Page>:<Request Body>:<Error Message>” , and ok I usually do ":username=^USER^&password=^PASS^:" but I see a lot of other users typing other request bodies

Hello. I'm not sure it's the right channel to ask, but here goes: I'm trying to do "[Task 14] Day 9 - Requests" from the Advent of Cyber room but it seems that both of the machines are down (10.10.241.214 and 10.10.112.87). I'm connected to the VPN.

eager fulcrum
#

@hushed oxide Nah, this is the right place

hushed oxide
#

I stand corrected, guess I'm just tired

eager fulcrum
#

@deep trellis Couple people have reported this, can you check it out?

#

Maybe even convert it to a deployable?

pallid verge
#

Nothing to do with TMH per se, but the Burp link for certificates is down

#

Is there another place to download them that is trustworthy?

eager fulcrum
#

You mean the HTTPS certs?

#

Aren't they served from your machine?

hushed oxide
#

yes they should be

#

another way to get them would be to download them.. I think burp suite lets you save them to your computer..

#

(from the ui... not the browser)

eager fulcrum
#

I didn't think they were online though, at all

#

I would assume they're generated just for you

pallid verge
#

the download link is currently down and has been for a few days

eager fulcrum
#

That's not how burp works

#

Burp generates the cert locally

#

I've just looked it up

pallid verge
#

ohh, right

#

must be my settings

hushed oxide
#

Proxy > Options > Import / Export CA Certificate > Export in your preferred format and append the correct file extension <--

#

if you ever want it and for some reason the urls are not working... also: http://localhost:<PORT>/

#

but yeah @eager fulcrum you're right they are served from the Burp application when it's running 🙂

pallid verge
#

I hadn't fully entered the software

#

it was just sitting on the first screen

#

dang it haha

#

thanks guys

#

thought I was going nuts

hushed oxide
#

@pallid verge well.. you were going nuts.. don't leave burp hanging on its first screen 😮 😛

pallid verge
#

I guess the best way to learn is to fuck it up and have to do it again haha

#

it clearly didn't sink in the first time i learnt

#

😛

hushed oxide
#

burp will remember that

pallid verge
#

yeh, this is my first time on a new build

fallen flame
#

hello

#

I was wondering

#

why can't I buy 1 month only through paypal?

eager fulcrum
#

@fallen flame Fees are too high

fallen flame
#

@eager fulcrum so why not just put the price a little higher to cover fees

eager fulcrum
#

because it's only paypal

fallen flame
#

but it's not only paypal

#

it's the difference between putting your credit card number in the site and not doing it

#

i'm sure my point of view is understandable

eager fulcrum
#

@fallen flame The payment is handled through stripe anyway

fallen flame
#

oh ok

#

I wasn't aware of that

#

@eager fulcrum thanks

eager fulcrum
#

It does say

#

On the site

fallen flame
eager fulcrum
#

Somewhere it says it

#

I'd find it but I'd have to sign in to my non subscriber account

fallen flame
#

Well, I would highly recommend you guys put it right there

Good evening,
Seems I am having a few troubles with the VPN. It seems that it keeps restarting once in a while, is this common?

Keep seeing this on the openvpn logs:

So installed kail Linux on my new pc rig and it installed gub boot loader and I am trying to change it to windows but when I put a window boot dive in my pc and go into bios and pick the boot drive as the first boot gub blocks it does anyone know how to delete gub so I can use windows

eager fulcrum
#

@rustic widget Google is your friend

rustic widget
#

Do how much I have googled this

eager fulcrum
#

Not enough because I found a result on page 1

rustic widget
#

Okay

leaden token
#

ohh i remember having exactly the same ussue

rustic widget
#

Thx could you send it to me

leaden token
#

you gotta make 'windows repairing' thing

#

on bootable usb

#

and fix the bootloader

rustic widget
#

I never had windows to begin with

leaden token
#

i mean if you can just install windows over kali by erasing everything

eager fulcrum
#

You need to install windows then

celest sapphire
#

when I put a window boot dive in my pc and go into bios and pick the boot drive as the first boot gub blocks it
so you have a drive with grub and you added a second one with windows?

rustic widget
#

On so the first selected bot os is from the ssd with kali

eager fulcrum
#

Yes

#

That'll boot into kali

#

Via grub

rustic widget
#

I select the boot drive for windows so that is first

eager fulcrum
#

You don't have a boot drive for windows if you haven't installed windows

rustic widget
#

Than how would I install it

eager fulcrum
#

By getting a bootable windows disc/USB

rustic widget
#

Oops sorry that is what I meant

eager fulcrum
#

??

rustic widget
#

I have a flag drive with windows installed on it

#

Flash

eager fulcrum
#

How'd you make it?

rustic widget
#

Going to windows web site and downloading windows 10 with. Opens a program witch I can format a usb drive to boot windows

#

First boot windows

eager fulcrum
#

So you didn't install windows to the USB

rustic widget
#

No

#

The usb is to install windows

eager fulcrum
#

Grub won't get in the way of anything

#

Grub is after the boot select

rustic widget
#

May I show you

eager fulcrum
#

So either you didn't make the USB right, or you didn't set the boot drive right.

rustic widget
#

Evens when I erase the drive it still has grub with is a problem

#

All I can install is kali

eager fulcrum
#

Erase which drive?

rustic widget
#

My ssd

eager fulcrum
#

You're not erasing it right then

#

You're probably only wiping a single partition

rustic widget
#

I am going into bios and doing an ssd wipe

#

This is for support related to TryHackMe.

Hello again. Is anyone looking into the issue with the unresponsive machine from Advent of Cyber - Day 9 - Requests?
Few days ago when I noticed the issue there were two different IPs, not there's only one, but still not responding.
Thanks!

eager fulcrum
#

Skidy fixed it, it should be up

crude crypt
#

It isn't 🙂 I'm pinging the hell out of it 🙂

#

Also tried with :3000, same thing.

#

The VPN connection is fine.

#

Does it work on your end, @eager fulcrum?

eager fulcrum
#

I'm not at my PC

#

And I have the same access as you

crude crypt
#

I see.

#

Then I'll leave it as it is for now and go to #room-hints to ask for a hint for Day 2 🙂

@eager fulcrum @crude crypt Advent of Cyber - Day 9 - Requests VM (10.10.169.100) stll does not respond to ping or to connections to both port 80/tcp and 3000/tcp.

@deep trellis dammit

trim vigil
#

I think there's an unresponsive machine from Advent of Cyber - Day 1

eager fulcrum
#

@trim vigil That's not how it works

#

The VM instance belongs to just you

@stray ore I didn't know there was Day9 too

#

Let me bring that up

eager fulcrum
#

Day 9 was the only day, Skidy

deep trellis
#

Ahh yes you're right

#

In that case it should be up

#

Let me check

eager fulcrum
#

2 reports of it beign down

#

I haven't checked yet

deep trellis
#

I can see that its running, but is not pinging yea. Let me investigate

#

There we go

#

I forgot to allow security groups

#

So it wasn't accessable.

#

All fixed now:)

#

idk if this is the right chanel but is the 0x1/2/3etc role automatic?

celest sapphire
#

no, you manually update it by DMing the bot

#

and i think this might be the right channel

finite dragon
#

thanks

#

noob question, when getting this Unfortunately, ToolsRUs is down for upgrades. Other parts of the website is still functional... is that truly down for upgrades or is it a trick statement spinthinking

celest sapphire
#

it's a description of the box

forest willow
#

cool thanks

dire nymph
#

I'm currently working on the Learning Linux box right now and I can't seem to get Putty work correctly. I input the username and ip address that are provided and the system says that there is a fatal error

eager fulcrum
#

@dire nymph You're going to need to give more detail than that

dire nymph
#

sorry I was able to able to find the work around. There was issue with my vpn

Hi... I am using hashcat tool right now. when I try to read manual file, I don't see --session and no way to use this tag. In the actual hashcat page, I do see the --session and --restore tag

naive dust
#

it's in hashcat --help

vital totem
#

@naive dust thanks

small wraith
#

Is our man file out of date? I havent taken a look at it in quite some time

#

In fact, i dont know if we've had one in a while

#

yeah, currently we just defer to the wiki, man file hasnt been included in quite a while, so not sure where that would be from

naive dust
#

Unless I've entered my password in correctly. Is the website being slow for anyone when logging in? As It's stuck on "Processing request..." and not responsive.

naive dust
#

That is how you would send a ipconfig command, on a samba...
smbmap -u 'userName' -p 'password' -H <ip address> -x 'ipconfig'

#

There is a challenge that isn't accepting my response and says wrong answer

naive dust
#

#

sorry

#

Max is 20 GB Upload Size and it should use the last snapshot.

#

it doesn't make sense to just upload the snapshot.. shouldn't i upload all this files??!?!

barren birch
#

Export it to an ova @old flax

#

Also, 20GB is the maximum upload, but if it doesn't need that, trust me you're better off making it as small as you can

#

20Gigs will be hell to upload

old flax
#

@barren birch how do i export it to ova? and which of the files..

#

i have like over 10 files

#

how do i select the latest snapshot

barren birch
#

Do it through VMware. That handles the export for you, means you have the latest snapshot, etc

old flax
#

@barren birch can you help me with this

#

i really cant figure out how to export it in vmware

barren birch
#

That's a Rule 13 question, I'm afraid.

eager fulcrum
#

@old flax That method works for Workstation too

old flax
#

but the button is greyed out

#

let me try

#

read everything

#

lol

#

it will automatically take last snapshot?

#

u said

primal kindle
#

hi i dont know if this is the right chanel to ask but im doing one of the rooms on thm aaand

#

NSE Timing: About 91.67% done; ETC: 12:09 (0:11:54 remaining)
Stats: 2:11:34 elapsed; 0 hosts completed (1 up), 1 undergoing Script Scan

#

the nmap scan is taking 2 hours i dont think thats normal

eager fulcrum
#

@old flax No, you said it should use the last snapshot

old flax
#

... i dont know if it will use the last snapshot

#

which is my issue

#

how can i make it use the last snapshot for the ova

eager fulcrum
#

restore that snapshot

old flax
#

since i can only upload an powered off ova

#

ok

#

i'll try to restore and pause the system and than upload the ova

eager fulcrum
#

Pause won't work

#

You need it to be turned off

old flax
#

i think u misunderstand me

#

i powered off the machine

#

saving it

#

but its not like if i boot the machine that all services and files automatically start

#

they start manually so only if the last snapshot is being loaded will this machine work

#

last snapshot has everything turned on and stuff

eager fulcrum
#

Then you need to set it up so that it will start on boot @old flax

old flax
#

but its impossible

eager fulcrum
#

I doubt that

old flax
#

the CTF is made this impossible

#

there are two accounts

eager fulcrum
#

Huh?

old flax
#

admin and user

#

admin runs XAMP

#

user runs a custom server

#

they both must login into windows in order to make it autorun

eager fulcrum
#

You can get those to autostart, use your windows admin skills

old flax
#

how can i autostart something on a user which is not even logged in

#

...

#

doesn't make sense

#

it doesn't work like that

#

they have to be logged in to have running processes

eager fulcrum
#

Then how does windows server work?

old flax
#

idk.. i'm using Win 10 1909 for this

eager fulcrum
#

It works all the same

old flax
#

alright i just no longer run xamp on admin account

#

both on user

#

and placed it in registry to boot at startup

#

its wired through i always tought there should be a way to reload CTF's to most recent snapshot

eager fulcrum
#

@old flax When you say CTF, do you mean VM?

old flax
#

ye

#

i'm afraid if i convert it now to ovf that when this vm runs i'd still need to click enter to login

#

as its windows 10

eager fulcrum
#

This is a windows admin thing, not a THM thing

#

People have managed to get it working

old flax
#

sick

#

i fixed it

#

with netplwiz

#

@eager fulcrum sorry for having so many questions and bothering u with this.. its the first vm i'm gonna publish to THM

does anyone else have a problem with SSH boxes hanging if you try to read long files ? (tried it on windows and ubuntu). I have to restart ssh like 10 times a minute because of that lol.

old flax
#

<@&568449888682246145> my machine is 22GB i don't think i can shrink it any further, however the machine is epic.. has 0day's ! and a fresh buffer overflow for people to exploit (made by me)

#

i don't think i'll be able to upload it as it exceeds the 20 GB limit

#

can there be an exception made ?

#

i think allot of people would like this machine

eager fulcrum
#

There's things you can do to get the file size down

Is anybody else having connection issues? Trying to do lazy admin but it keeps dropping my connection literally every 2 minutes or so

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>

manic spire
#

Lovely, thank you @eager fulcrum

strange nexus
#

I found that my issues where only happening on my PC (websites not loading,ssh dropping a lot) :/ a friend tried the same things and they worked for him and not for me.
did anyone have something similar before? online it said that it might be because of a router issue.

@full scroll huh?

#

Yeah... That happens

#

Try again

old flax
#

why did this happen.. isit because of file size

deep trellis
#

@vapid dawn has actually redone uploads - no upload throttling or issues like that.

eager fulcrum
#

Oh my god yes

barren birch
#

Ey!!!

deep trellis
#

He doesn't use our server for middleware

#

@vapid dawn has a 🔥 new method for uploading large VM's - its crazy cool

old flax

i'm listening

still testing a few things here and there but will def be done soon 😄

simple wagon
deep trellis
#

Try refreshing your page?

simple wagon
#

i can ping the machine but i cant do ssh

#

i tried

#

i also tried to terminate and re-deploy it

deep trellis
#

Can you try another browser just out of interest?

simple wagon
#

let me try

#

but why it happens on firefox?

#

its back to normal in opera
@simple wagon this is on windows, but when i get back to my own kali, still getting same error for opera on kali

crystal osprey
#

It might be the way firefox render the rdp frames although thats just a guess

#

I know that some routers (that come with a web interface) can just outright refuse connections from firefox

eager fulcrum
#

@crystal osprey Since the issue doesn't involve RDP at all, I'd argue against that

#

The THM browser remote is Guacamole based

#

And the issue is with the timer

crystal osprey
#

It was worth a shot 😅

#

I've had problems with Guacamole timing out and dropping my connections, so I tend to steer clear of it

simple wagon
#

It might be the way firefox render the rdp frames although thats just a guess
@crystal osprey thank you hope the error will be fixed because i didnt had this issue previously

#

@crystal osprey Since the issue doesn't involve RDP at all, I'd argue against that
@eager fulcrum so, what is the way to fix this?

crystal osprey
#

It was just a guess, and as James pointed out that its a timing issue with the server and client

simple wagon
#

ok

#

thanks james @eager fulcrum

eager fulcrum
#

If skidy told you to refresh and try again, I'd advise doing that

simple wagon
#

yeah i did that but it didnt solve my problem :/

#

when i connect to box from windows, its ok but when i get back to kali, either i try firefox or opera the issue continues

#

i guess its a temporary thing because i didnt had something like this previously

hello so my problem started first with the metaspoloit room after doing all the steps 100% correctly i got this Started reverse TCP handler on 10.8.7.184:4444

Hey I'm using an android device. If I get a subscription, can I control the kali VM from my smartphone?

@gleaming blade yes, using SSH or RDP. They're not great though, going to be honest.

It seems the installation is stuck on the "compiling plugins" section, because the progress bar don't reach the end and restart every time.

any guys got tips for me how to reduce file zie

#

file size *

#

the .vmdk is 21.5 GB

#

which is 1.5 GB too much

leaden token
#

what have you tried doing to resize it?

#

you also are supposed to use .ova instead of .vmdk

#

export the OVA image and see if it’s going to be smaller size

naive dust

Any admin free to DM me please regarding my account details?

old flax
#

ok im exporting to OVA

lemme see

Do you know what could cause that? I read it's maybe because of the intel integrated graphics :/

Switching to nvidia graphic card solved the issue, so intel integrated graphics is causing the error

Hey! I have been having an issue with the RP: Nmap room and nmap in general. The issue is that whenever i use nmap, For example: Task 3 question 1 from the RP-Nmap room asks us to run nmap -sS <Machine IP>. When I do so it prompts "Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn." When i add the -Pn it says "All 1000 scanned ports on <Machine IP> are filtered because of 1000 no-responses."
How can I fix this issue.

#

For context I am connected to Open Vpn as indicated by the green tick in the access menu and also I am on a kali vm and windows main os.

try adding a -p- tag to scan all ports?
