[barren birch]

I would think so, yes -- they're also accessed through openvpn, so I can't imagine why they would need that if the boxes were internet connected

[eager fulcrum]

You can copy scripts from your attacking machine

[barren birch]

Throw up a webserver on your own machine

Then copy them from there

[eager fulcrum]

SCP, FTP, webserver

All valid options

[torn fossil]

yea thats what im trying to do but it never connects

ftp scp also

cant bring anything over

[eager fulcrum]

Remember to use VPN ips and only VPN IPs

[torn fossil]

yea i do use them, the victims machine cant curl any website either

[barren birch]

Correct

[torn fossil]

or wget anything

[barren birch]

But they can curl your own IP

[torn fossil]

ok so just to get it clear we are able to be able to get enum scripts over?

like its possible

[eager fulcrum]

Yes

[torn fossil]

ok ill try it

idk why im having trouble but thank you!

ayy thank you

finally rooted this box lmao

ive been looking for so long lmao

[zealous yoke]

Nice work!

I'm having a little trouble with deploying my Kali VM

I've had it running once (just joined today) and everything was working fine.

I'm now on a new room and it's just hung at 2%

I've logged out and logged back in, waited 10+ mins, nothing

Even when I terminate the 2% bar stays there

(not sure if that's normal)

[eager fulcrum]

@deep trellis

[deep trellis]

I'm now on a new room and it's just hung at 2%
@naive dust Can you please check your browser console? Are there any errors?

[naive dust]

I'm in the "Learn Linux" room if that's any help to you.

[deep trellis]

there is nothing in there that explains it getting stuck at 2%

Can you try using another browser just to test it?

[naive dust]

Yeah lemme get chrome real quick

[deep trellis]

thanks

[naive dust]

Seems to be the same

I logged out completely of my firefox before logging into chrome

I load up the "Load Linux" room, and the 2% bar is still there at the top of the page before I even click anything

After a minute it's still stuck at 2%

[deep trellis]

can you screenshot it, so I can see what you're looking at

[naive dust]

The 2% bar below active machine information was there before I deployed

[deep trellis]

That 2% is your progress in the room

[naive dust]

wtf

[deep trellis]

Its your progress throughout the tasks

[naive dust]

im sorry man

[deep trellis]

Not how much the machine has loaded

[naive dust]

hahaha

[deep trellis]

No worries:)

[naive dust]

Well how do I get into the machine via web browser?

The first time there was a button right there

[deep trellis]

Are you connected through the OpenVPN?

[naive dust]

Yes

[deep trellis]

Then SSH into the machine with the IP shown in the 'Active Machine Info' box

[naive dust]

Ok

[barren birch]

(Not all machines have in-browser access)

[naive dust]

Ah I see

[barren birch]

In fact, I have a feeling that only about 3 do

[naive dust]

Thanks for the help guys lol

[deep trellis]

Its all good:)

[barren birch]

Do us a favour and avoid that word though -- it's not one we like around here 🙂

How i can remove card information from site

[quaint depot]

@quaint depot seems like you just killed the internet in your video, when you pull the mouse up
@tame ivy target machine was not offline, it was filtered, so i was online, and i was pausing video recoding to get video shorter without editing

[obtuse ridge]

How i can remove card information from site
@obtuse ridge anyone?

[leaden token]

cancel the sub

it's still going to be active though

and so you can change that payment method after it expires

[obtuse ridge]

Yh i know for a month but is there any way to remove card information from site

Before that

Expiry date

[leaden token]

Ye, you press cancel the sub and it won't charge you money

and the sub will remain active till expire date

[obtuse ridge]

Ok i know that but card number is saved on site right?

[leaden token]

no

no card info is saved or stored

[obtuse ridge]

You sure ?

100%

[leaden token]

yes

i know the admins, they are very strict about these security things

[obtuse ridge]

Any admin here who can confirm same

@leaden token ok

[naive dust]

Can i chge my user for tryhackme?

From my side

Hey folks! I am having trouble with the splunk OVA network interface, does anyone know the local login / pass so I can troubleshoot?

Hello, I'm trying to do the part 4 of Common Linux Privsec room and I can't seem to establish a connection with it. The connection keep timing out.

[drifting nacelle]

Are you connected to the vpn??
@worldly nymph

[worldly nymph]

Yes

[drifting nacelle]

did you check if the ssh is on port 22?

if not try nmap

[worldly nymph]

I'll check

[drifting nacelle]

ok

[worldly nymph]

switched machines and tried to connect to it, but still the same results so i tried running nmap on it and that came up

[heady fjord]

really?

[drifting nacelle]

check your vpn

[heady fjord]

check ur VPN?

[drifting nacelle]

and also check the ip of the machine

[heady fjord]

what's room?

[worldly nymph]

Common Linux Privsec

I just saw the Writeups and they seem to be having slow servers.

[eager fulcrum]

!multivpn @worldly nymph

[sharp bison]

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>

From TryHackMe with ❤!

[heady fjord]

hmm i couldn't connect it using ssh as well

it's reachable but ssh not working

it's working now

lol

[worldly nymph]

The Bot's instructions helped

[heady fjord]

u can connect it now @worldly nymph

[worldly nymph]

Yes

used the sudo killall openvpnd instead of openvpn

and started it up again

Thanks @heady fjord @eager fulcrum , and @drifting nacelle

[eager fulcrum]

Don't run multiple VPN connections

Connect once

Only once. Don't background it.

Kill it when you're done with control c.

[worldly nymph]

Yeah I think I had started it in a different tmux window or pane

[eager fulcrum]

If you do that, just make sure you don't start it more than once

[worldly nymph]

For sure thanks

Hi so I’m currently using Xubuntu and I require 1920x1080 16:9 Display.

I am using VmBox and I set it using the “xrandr” command in the terminal. After I was finished I pressed “Save Machine State” before closing so it would save my display but when I restarted my computer and came back it has reverted back to the tiny monitor settings.

Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

[eager fulcrum]

Install the guest extensions

open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop

Will allow you to hot resize the screen size and also enables a bunch of other stuff

[modern flame]

Hello i am new on Try Hack Me and i have a connection with OpenVPN but when i start a machine it says that it starts but nothing happen.

Fair enough 😆

[chrome rapids]

my machine is supper laggy

for some reason

took about a minute to connect

takes ~10s to ls...

and somehow is stuck in nano now. is this with the machine or something on my end?

[eager fulcrum]

Joystick?

[chrome rapids]

nope, linux privesc ahahah

[eager fulcrum]

There's like 2 boxes with names close to that

Which one

[chrome rapids]

Common Linux Privesc

it's just lagging sometimes

[deep trellis]

are you connected through the VPN?

Or using the inbrowser?

[chrome rapids]

through the vpn

[deep trellis]

what country are you in?

[chrome rapids]

portugal

actually it's not lagging anymore

atleast for now

[deep trellis]

oh right ok

[chrome rapids]

so weird, i just tabbed out of my terminal and it lags

[old flax]

when submitting / creating a room my VM does not run the startup files..

some people claim it does work fine for them however when i test it the ports which open at startup don't seem to work..

[eager fulcrum]

Give it some time to boot

But I can confirm systemd and cron tasks do start at boot so chances are it's on your end

[signal pawn]

Hey guys

Im in blaster room, deployed the machine and waited for about 5 minutes

Cant ping it, however HTTP into that address is showing my the IIS default web page

Try nmap -Pn ipaddr

That'll tell you for sure

Enjoy

[naive dust]

Jeez

So i will have to try to install all over again

But on live it boots up perfectly and everything works fine....

[barren birch]

I mean, from memory that's the error I was getting when I bricked my Ubuntu

Try dropping into a recovery shell, purge gdm3 and gnome

Then reinstall them

[naive dust]

I just tried recovey its just stuck at nothing and displays _

[celest sapphire]

maybe check other terminals? ctrl+alt+F1-8

[naive dust]

@celest sapphireokay i just did something???

[celest sapphire]

?

[naive dust]

Jeez you are smart dude

What do i do now tho 😶

Hahahaah i even have python on it lmfaooo

[celest sapphire]

the GUI is usually on 1 or 7
maybe check the kernel log

[naive dust]

Wait something just happent

Omg my desktop is back i think

Why are you so smart 😂😂😂😂

Ily fr @celest sapphire

Ty alot

[celest sapphire]

so it just didn't switch to the correct term?

that's weird lol

[naive dust]

Im thinking the same why and what

But you fixed it smh

So thanks alot 😀

[celest sapphire]

that's more of a temporary fix imo, try to investigate

[naive dust]

Yeah im doing that rn 😂

So i just rebooted and its doing the same thing again

But since its fixed idc really ahahhaa

[lilac ocean]

How can i setup alias for starting a simplehttpserver as "up" ?

alias up='python -m SimpleHTTPServer' ?

[feral dock]

alias up="python3 -m http.server 8081"
You could also use $1(In bash scripting refers to first argument)

[naive dust]

so uh im having more issues after i skiped that one. one of them is if i try for example to play youtube video i get black screen for 5 sec

[lilac ocean]

tried:
alias up = 'ip -f inet addr show tun0 | grep -Po "inet \K[\d.]+"; echo $PWD; python3 -m http.server 80'

[barren birch]

You may need to put a sudo into that

Or expressly allow python to open a port below 1024

Unless you're already root 🤷‍♂️

[lilac ocean]

oh it works on port 8081. i think this is the issue

Or expressly allow python to open a port below 1000

[barren birch]

Yep, that'll be it

[feral dock]

@lilac ocean The top 1024 ports require root privileges

[barren birch]

Exactly

[naive dust]

can someone help me fix my problem 😭 ?

[feral dock]

Sorry, wrong ping, meant to tag Naughty

[barren birch]

Oh, wait, sorry, I said 1000 😅
Meant 1024

[lilac ocean]

oh ok working now

it was provided by optional and also was giving some errors while using as root

alias up = 'ip -f inet addr show tun0 | grep -Po "inet \K[\d.]+"; echo $PWD; python3 -m http.server 80'

[barren birch]

Be aware when using that if you've already got a webserver up, it is gonna throw a fit

[lilac ocean]

ok

ok now when i use up as root it runs on port 80 and when i use as a user it runs at port 8081

[feral dock]

can someone help me fix my problem 😭 ?
@naive dust What do you need help with?

[naive dust]

so uh im having more issues after i skiped that one. one of them is if i try for example to play youtube video i get black screen for 5 sec

[feral dock]

Skipped what?

[naive dust]

the one with bugged screen on boot up

like it just stays there

and then i have to ctrl+alt+f2 and then ctrl+at+f1 to get back into it

like everything is broken somehow

[eager fulcrum]

@lilac ocean@barren birch you can add a capability to bind to ports under 1000 as non root.

[lilac ocean]

How would that be?

[eager fulcrum]

@lilac ocean https://stackoverflow.com/questions/413807/is-there-a-way-for-non-root-processes-to-bind-to-privileged-ports-on-linux

Has to apply to the binary though

[stone roost]

that is not a technical question about THM dude, you borked it yourself

I thought we were in general or offtopic tbf

is this right place to ask for tech help? 😄

[barren birch]

Provided it's about THM (and not about a room), yes

[blazing osprey]

I have rolled in a room about xmass and i cant connect to it (got connection over openvpn) got machine up but no connection over http

well the banner with machine ip was yellow i thought its a theme and it was warning that machine is not up

fake alarm sorry

[eager fulcrum]

@blazing osprey It stays yellow, but rooms can take 1-5+mins to boot

Some are slower than others

As a subscriber, you get faster boot times as the VMs have more resources.

[blazing osprey]

well its not yellow anymore and its up 😄 😄

Oh, red then

Big red banner

got it

It can take up to 2 weeks for review, and potentially longer to release once it passes review. Please be patient

I can confirm it's being looked at, but so are 10+ other rooms. There aren't infinite room testers

[zealous yoke]

^ I can see it's in the queue, there's quite a few being looked at currently

[naive dust]

is there any current issue with vip vpn? few attempts to connect stuck at authorizing.. for quite some time.

last couple lines of the log...

[grave leaf]

I find that Ctrl^c and then closing the terminal window usually sorts it out. If not, resetting your Kali machine should.

[naive dust]

hmm ok, will give it a try, thanks! @grave leaf

[rich flare]

Hello all, did you already had a problem with VPN of TryHackMe? Since 2 days, I always seems to lose connection after few sec/min... I must relaunch the VPN connection to be able to ping the machine and continue the room...

Sounds like you have more than one connection up

!multivpn

• Step 1

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

Ciao everybody, I'm trying to get used to tmux on the rp:tmux room. While in copy mode, the cheat sheet says that by pressing G I should scroll to the bottom, and g should scroll to the top. But, actually, nothing happens when I hit G, and when I hit g it opens a (goto line)... Wtf?

[eager fulcrum]

@short egret maybe it's shift G as it's capital

[short egret]

@short egret maybe it's shift G as it's capital
@eager fulcrum Yeah I already did it. Also the / that is supposed to search doesn't work. I was running a LinEnum and struggling to find the stuff I needed tired_face
IDK if this may help, but I'm running the Kali Machine from THM

[hushed oxide]

are you even in copy mode?

[short egret]

Yes sir, I am

I can scroll wherever I want, I see the line count on top right, etc

[hushed oxide]

do any other copy commands work?

maybe check this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18683252/tmux-copy-does-not-work

Can I have help install gobuster onto Xubuntu please. The instructions on the website aren’t exactly helpful

[eager fulcrum]

Install go

Clone the repo

[wide frost]

how to access this server ?

coz i dont see any username and password.

[eager fulcrum]

@wide frost Maybe you're not meant to.

[wide frost]

i should able to access all paths

[eager fulcrum]

@wide frost That doesn't matter.

I'm guessing you're doing RP Tmux

[wide frost]

RP: Nmap

[eager fulcrum]

You weren't told to SSH into the box

And it's a walkthrough.

You don't need creds.

[wide frost]

oh ok

but it said to deploy machine and answer NMAP quiz

[eager fulcrum]

Yes

So you deployed it

Answer the quiz.

Deploy != connect

[bronze vale]

Yeah I’m literally brain dead, I installed Go and I cloned the repo for gobuster, I used go get, I am so lost

[eager fulcrum]

@bronze vale go install

Add to PATH

Done

[bronze vale]

When I type go install it just says cannot find package

[eager fulcrum]

You're gonna have to do some research

[bronze vale]

I have the tutorials don’t make sense

Hence why I’m here

And some of them don’t work and the people who created them won’t fix them

[eager fulcrum]

It's no longer in apt repos

But you need to broaden your search

You're installing a go based tool

Doesn't matter what the tool really is

[bronze vale]

Okay I just messed around and figured it out thanks though

Hi everybody, Im having issues when using openVPN, I've been using it for a while and it went smooth as butter but all of a sudden it stopped working. I've tried regenerating my file and unistalling + installing openVPN but nothing seems to work

[eager fulcrum]

Check the pins

Check your time on your PC

[daring kite]

It's on a VM right now, should I change the time?

[eager fulcrum]

You should make sure both are correct

And regenerate.

[naive dust]

So i just gotten one of those vr things that you put on phone and then it works like vr

But when i go to youtube and play vr video

It doesnt rotate on my phone movement

But rather on my clikc

Click

Is there a fix for that

[cyan token]

I'm new to Tryhackme and I can't get my OenVPN to work with my Kali linux on my VMware. Can someone help me out on the steps I may have missed?

[supple sonnet]

could you be a little more verbose than "I can't get openVPN to work"

any errors?

[naive dust]

So uh can someone help me about it?

[supple sonnet]

@naive dust pls read channel description

[naive dust]

Aaaa tech support?

Oh

[supple sonnet]

VPN and other technical questions related to TryHackMe

[naive dust]

Eyah i just read it

[cyan token]

Apologies it says that I have the newest version (2.4.9-2)

[supple sonnet]

Yes, that means openvpn is installed & up to date. It's not an error lol

[cyan token]

Kinda figured so then what's the next step then?

[supple sonnet]

sudo openvpn /path/to/config/file

[eager fulcrum]

*sudo

[supple sonnet]

if you're not running as root

non-default root user on a pentesting distro is stupid. change my mind

[cyan token]

What if I am running as root should still work right?

[supple sonnet]

yes

[cyan token]

Okay it says
In [CMD-Line]👍 Error open configuration file: /path/to/config/file

[supple sonnet]

you need to replace /path/to/config/file with the path to your openvpn config file

I don't know where it's located

you gotta use some critical thinking

[cyan token]

Okay.. thanks for your help N3ko

I'll try to figure it out.

[merry blaze]

hi ! does anyone know what can be the problem ? im trying to install john the ripper via snap but after the installation is complete it just says john: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory my system is up to date and this has never happened to me before so what could be the problem?

didnt find anything from internet either

[eager fulcrum]

Don't use snaps

You can get binaries

Get binaries.

[merry blaze]

ok can you tell me where can i get it

[supple sonnet]

Yeah, snap is really bad

don't use it

[eager fulcrum]

@merry blaze I can tell you to

[merry blaze]

i cannot find jtr binary

[supple sonnet]

how about trying Hashcat instead?

it's a much nicer alternative

[eager fulcrum]

[small gorge]

@daring kite i am with the same problem

[eager fulcrum]

@small gorge Check your system time

Regenerate your config.

[small gorge]

the time is correct and i gereta anoter config end the problem continues

any idea?

[eager fulcrum]

Regenerate, and download?

[small gorge]

yeah, same error

[eager fulcrum]

@deep trellis OpenVPN machine go bork again

[deep trellis]

Which one?

[eager fulcrum]

the cert error

@small gorge Which VPN server are you?

[deep trellis]

is this regular 1 or 2?

[small gorge]

I try 1 and 2.

[deep trellis]

I try 1 and 2.
@small gorge Fixed

Sorry about that

Need to write a unit test to ensure that doesn't happen again

[eager fulcrum]

@daring kite

[small gorge]

i will try again, wait a moment

[hazy sand]

[small gorge]

@eager fulcrum same error.

[eager fulcrum]

@hazy sand Download your config

[hazy sand]

I did

[eager fulcrum]

Regenerate it

[sacred silo]

I am having problems too, regenerated, downloaded, switched servers, downloaded

[eager fulcrum]

Regenerate again now

That's a network thing

@sacred silo Are you in egypt?

[sacred silo]

No. Y? Thank u it is working now

[hazy sand]

@eager fulcrum I just regenerated and redownloaded

[supple sonnet]

Egypt likes blocking things

[hazy sand]

I ran the command sudo openvpn sharingod.ovpn &

[eager fulcrum]

Lose the &

Otherwise you will break stuff

[hazy sand]

oh on the website it said to put the &

my bad

still says the same thing without it

[eager fulcrum]

@vapid dawn Plz remove the & everywhere related to OpenVPN

[supple sonnet]

& just backgrounds the task

err

[eager fulcrum]

yeah but people then run multiple

and it breaks stuff

best to not have it at all

[supple sonnet]

rather executes it in parallel

I agree

[hazy sand]

Options error: You must define TUN/TAP device (--dev)
Use --help for more information.```

still getting this

i regenerated

and redownloaded

[supple sonnet]

you're running on Linux, correct?

[hazy sand]

yes

[supple sonnet]

if you run an ifconfig tun0 does anything come up?

[hazy sand]

tun0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

[deep trellis]

@hazy sand Send me your config file, just incase its something on our side

[hazy sand]

alr

[supple sonnet]

in PMs (not in chat, we've had people do that before)

[hazy sand]

ik lmao

[deep trellis]

Twas when one of our OpenVPN servers broke, fixed by regenerating and redownloading their config.

Thanks N3ko:)

[earnest drift]

Hi all. I am having openvpn issues as well. It was working perfectly fine earlier. I was getting the TLS handshake error that Zanix was having. I verified my time is accurate on host and vm system. I disabled webfiltering on my firewall. I updated my kali box. Now I am getting a new error. I have regenerated my config file as well. Below is the error

I didn't switch server. Was still on server2. Trying again with the other server

That did it. I'm connected

[cyan kestrel]

hello everyone

when I am running kali my nmap and db_nmap command are returning incorrect information

it claims the ip has 1000 unfiltered ports, but when I run a normal nmap scan on bash it gives me the correct info

[eager fulcrum]

There's some information missing here

Kali has bash

Are you running kali in a VM or what?

[cyan kestrel]

in VM yeah

and yeah sorry i meant on my bash in windows is when it works

but when i load up kali and use its bash or use metasploit's nmap it is wrong

[eager fulcrum]

Run the VPN from kali and only from kali

Then see.

[cyan kestrel]

huh is that why? thats interesting ok

one question why i download all that stuff again

when I try to connect to that db via the access in browser kali machine it gives me an error message "postgresql selected, no connection"

but when I use my personal kali linux I don't recieve thie error

[eager fulcrum]

You haven't set up metasploit

msfdb_init

or something like that

[cyan kestrel]

I type that but it says that it has already been established

msfdb init

[eager fulcrum]

You need to do it on the browser one if you want it working there

[cyan kestrel]

I am in the browser

[eager fulcrum]

msfdb start

[cyan kestrel]

database already started

[eager fulcrum]

systemctl status postgresql

or something like that

[cyan kestrel]

whatever that means lol

btw thank you for your help

ooh it says the service is disabled?

should i sudo?

[eager fulcrum]

I'm taking a look at it now

it says the service is started

So that's fine

Can you give me the IP of the machine you're scanning?

I don't have anything deployed RN

@cyan kestrel

[cyan kestrel]

yeah sorry i was getting food

[eager fulcrum]

I deployed one

It's working fine here

[cyan kestrel]

the ip address of the kali or the ip of the machine im trying to nmap

[eager fulcrum]

That you're trying to nmap

[cyan kestrel]

i dont have one up at the moment but i can deploy one

i wasnt able to use the nmap because i cant connect to the database

[eager fulcrum]

That's on a THM Kali machine that I just deployed

[cyan kestrel]

so i used my personal laptop's kali and that is when i got wrong results

can i nmap that same ip address

[eager fulcrum]

I terminated both instances

[cyan kestrel]

before i can input an ip it says database not connected

[eager fulcrum]

https://miteshshah.github.io/linux/kali/how-to-fix-metasploit-database-not-connected-or-cache-not-built/

[cyan kestrel]

I've tried all those commands listed on that site and none of them work lol

[eager fulcrum]

Terminate the VM, deploy a new one

I had it working

[cyan kestrel]

I've terminited a few times as well

let me do so again

brand new machine says db is already installed

[solar sparrow]

i did scroll through bugsub and tech support for a while with no luck. i'm in the eternalblue room and i'm trying to submit the answer to #3 in "Gain Access". I know I have the right answer but it keeps saying it is wrong. Is this a known bug already?

[bronze vale]

.

@solar sparrow is this the question

“Show options and set the one required value. What is the name of this value? (All caps for submission)”

And are you still having the problem

[drifting zinc]

anyone up for tech support?

I am trying something but unable to get it working

If you are familiar with Windows API Tokens

[solar sparrow]

@bronze vale yes. I don’t want to write the answer in here but it’s all caps and the the required value to set is the IP. So I type that name in but it still says it’s wrong

[bronze vale]

Remove the S off the end

@solar sparrow

The actual command has an S on the end but you can write it singularly

[solar sparrow]

omg

[bronze vale]

Yeah 😂

[solar sparrow]

i feel like i was just writing code and spent a day looking for why it doesn't work just to find i forgot an ";"

[bronze vale]

Bruh

Exactly

[solar sparrow]

thank you

[bronze vale]

Haha anytime

[naive dust]

@last olive hello, sorry for the ping, but i have an issue with VPN that i have been unable to solve.

i am trying to troubleshooting an issue with the VPN connection, has anyone come across this?

Mon May 4 01:25:49 2020 TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)
Mon May 4 01:25:49 2020 TLS Error: TLS handshake failed

it loops on this timeout issue :/

not exactly the same or related, but ovpn for hackthebox works perfectly fine.

[zealous yoke]

Have you had a read through of this? @naive dust https://docs.tryhackme.com/docs/openvpn/troubleshooting/openvpn-troubleshooting

Moreover, is your VM/Host OS timeclocks set to be the same?

[naive dust]

I actually searched for a forum to search for a troubleshooting section, didn't come across it.
Thanks for the documentation.

yes they are

[zealous yoke]

No worries, it's got some of the common issues / fixes on there. Need to update it actually

[naive dust]

ill have a look at the documentation, if i have an issue ill ping you is that ok?

[zealous yoke]

Just throw it in here and someone will get to you 🙂

[naive dust]

yeah that's fine as well thanks

[zealous yoke]

:^

[last olive]

Thank you @zealous yoke for helping him.

[naive dust]

Have you had a read through of this? @naive dust https://docs.tryhackme.com/docs/openvpn/troubleshooting/openvpn-troubleshooting
@zealous yoke

So troubleshooting done,

[Background]
I have a vm hardened following CIS benchmarks, so yesterday when i was trying to connect using openvpn, I disable the hardening that could be related to the network connectivity, first firewall disabled, then /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny were commented and finally ipv6 was re-enabled.

still couldn't connect.

went to the router and disabled the firewall and did a port fowarding of 1194/udp to my vm, didn't work.

[Today]
After asking the questions here and reading the faq, I tried and lo and behold... it worked.
No change whatsoever from yesterday.

Reverted the configurations i did yesteray (firewall, hosts allow and deny and ipv6) then enabled the firewall back on the router and disable the port forwarding again, and it still worked.

It is solved but i am puzzled to what happened, maybe it was a downtime on your vpn server?

Anyway it works now, thanks for the help.

[hallow hare]

so kali linux WSL, the ping command says not permitted, I've found where people allow it through via the netsh.exe advfirewall.

but I noticed Ubuntu doesnt have that limitation for WSL, is katoolin a good tool for ubuntu kali tools?

[eager fulcrum]

Skip WSL, use a VM.

[hallow hare]

ah ok, in that case what vm tool is better to use? I've heard good and bad things about most of them

[eager fulcrum]

Virtualbox, VMware workstation or player

[hallow hare]

which one would you recommend for a kali box?

[eager fulcrum]

It comes down to personal opinion and which you have access to.

Virtualbox and player are free. Player has weird restrictions

[hallow hare]

ight, well thank you!

[naive dust]

if you don't have a license for vmware workstation, you should use virtualbox.

heck even hyper-v is a good option.

[eager fulcrum]

I strongly disagree with hyperV being a good option

[naive dust]

how many hours have you spent with hyper-v?

cause sometimes that is the issue, people deslike something because they didn't use it much

i like all three options i have used hyper-v and vmware workstation extensively

[eager fulcrum]

It bans you from using other virtualization software

[naive dust]

^^ ah yes that is true

remember having hyperV enabled would not me allow to start vmware workstation

i remember that issue indeed

That's a good point, however i was more focusing on the features when i said that.

[hallow hare]

yea I'm just waiting ages for this ova to finish downloading so I can actually load kali onto the box

nvm I'm gonna try to figure out how to use a ISO, since I already have that

[eager fulcrum]

The OVA is kinda bad anyway

[stone roost]

hyper v bad

vmware good

nothing compares to it.

[brazen igloo]

is there a problem with the openvpn? I can use rooms but in the Access it says im not Connected.

I regenerated a few times

but still the same

[stone roost]

don't trust the access page

run ip a and check if you have a tun0 ip

[brazen igloo]

yes

so i don't have to worry?

[eager fulcrum]

@brazen igloo If it works, then it works

Hi all, any idea why I lose connection on Remmina? I always need to restart the VPN connection to be able to reconnect to the RDP connection

[eager fulcrum]

!multivpn

[sharp bison]

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>

From TryHackMe with ❤!

[rich flare]

Did it already

I had the same issue yesterday I wrote here and it worked today but now, on the room I am working, I lose the RDP connection...

Seems to be working back again...

[gloomy forum]

Worked for me ! Thanks a lot 🙂

[small scarab]

any help with ovpn? im trying to use it, and i get "Initialization Sequence Completed", and no connection. ive regenerated plenty of times, and it simply doesn't work

[leaden token]

"Initialization Sequence Completed"
it means connected.

[small scarab]

1 sec let me see if im mistaken

[leaden token]

type ip a in terminal

and look if you have tun0 with some IP

[eager fulcrum]

Don't trust the access page

[small scarab]

10.9.xx.xx, so i guess you guys are right

odd because nothing worked

thanks

10.9.xx.xx, so i guess you guys are right
yeah should be fine

[proper quiver]

sudo pkill -f openvpn
( sudo openvpn username.ovpn & ) &> /dev/null
disown
sleep 2
ip a show dev tun0 | grep 'inet ' | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d ' ' | awk -F'/' '{print $1}'

[eager fulcrum]

wat

I can tell you 2 bad things about that right now

[proper quiver]

i would like to know 🙂

except that the NIC name isn't everytime the same

[eager fulcrum]

When people background openVPN, they often spawn new processes later on and that breaks everything

[proper quiver]

buts it's disown'ed

[eager fulcrum]

pkill would need to be ran as root, if you're killing processes owned by root (sudo)

[proper quiver]

true that

[eager fulcrum]

Doesn't matter, people still end up running multiple processes and breaking stuff

Do the normal thing, use a tmux or terminal tab for it

Disown just makes it harder to stop later

[proper quiver]

Does anyone have problems with NetworkManager applet when importing VPN profiles?

[eager fulcrum]

Just use openvpn

Skip network manager

[proper quiver]

too many vpns... i need smth to manage them

sure with openvpn command is working

[eager fulcrum]

Manage them with aliases

[proper quiver]

best support ❤️

[eager fulcrum]

We've seen what breaks

[proper quiver]

so the conclusion is to just use openvpn command, correct?

[barren birch]

Or set an alias for it

[proper quiver]

vpn_ <TAB> <TAB> 100+ results

[eager fulcrum]

alias vpn="openvpn ~/NinjaJc01.ovpn" alias htb="openvpn ~/htb_NinjaJc01.ovpn" alias msf="msfdb start && msfconsole -q"

wat

[barren birch]

Uh...

[proper quiver]

i mean i have aliases... but vpns are too many

🙂

[eager fulcrum]

I don't understand

[barren birch]

^^

[proper quiver]

Does anyone have problems with NetworkManager applet when importing VPN profiles?

I kindly asked if any of you, had this problem with NetworkManager.

that's all

It asks for key password on profiles with passwordless auth

[eager fulcrum]

Probably because it uses the keyring or something for certs

[proper quiver]

Keyring is not the problem, i have one and and only one vpn profile stored in NetoworkManager (before upgrading it) without password and ovpn. The problem is shown when importing new one. Anyway, it seems that it isn't the place to ask those things. Sorry for bothering.

[barren birch]

No need to ping everyone in the server, mate..

Best send an email to [e-mail] if it's payment related

[old cape]

ok

[barren birch]

That kind of thing is generally better handled via email rather than Discord

[eager fulcrum]

@old cape If it's just a question, and not related to a payment that you've made, I might be able to answer.

If it's related to a payment you've made, that's an email

[old cape]

i can't do the payment. Can that be discussed

Hi, I can't access dvwa or OWASP juice shop with my kali linux machine. is it normal?

[eager fulcrum]

Ninja's guide to getting help (in #site-support)

1. Google harder. Spend some time learning how to make efficient queries that will answer your question
2. Be specific. Task x, question y, room z. I can't get xyz to work for me. If you're using a VM etc, mention.
3. Include error messages, logs etc especially for VPN issues
4. Explain the difference between what you expect to happen, and what's actually happening
5. Be patient. Mentors aren't paid, neither are mods. We do this because we want to help the community. We don't HAVE to help you

@night veldt Can you give a little more info

[eager fulcrum]

@night veldt So what's happening or not happening?

[night veldt]

@eager fulcrum I have terminated and redeployed a THM kali and now it works

at least for the DVWA

[cyan kestrel]

hey guys

tmux literally does not work on the thm vm

none of the command do anything ie control+b+[ does not go into copy mode

[eager fulcrum]

I'm testing it

[cyan kestrel]

oh nvm! you have to hit control + b release, THEN press the next command

sorry!

[eager fulcrum]

@cyan kestrel Yup.

[cyan kestrel]

thats some weird key inputs but cool

[eager fulcrum]

Basically makes it listen for commands

You get used to it

[cyan kestrel]

that explains so much lmfao

im mashing my keyboard like why arent you working lol

[eager fulcrum]

Please don't bully your keyboard

[cyan kestrel]

but it owes me its lunch money

[eager fulcrum]

It's trying it's best

[cyan kestrel]

lol

so do you guys like always use tmux in kali

like its just a go to thing?

eh another q im in copy mode but g doesnt seem to do anything

do i hit control b release than g or just type g? when i just hit g in copy mode it requests a go to line but g doesnt do anything

[night veldt]

@eager fulcrum same problem again. impossible to reach the juice shop machine after trying to register on it following the process of the room. ping OK but still the little "waiting for"IP address of the juice shop machine

[eager fulcrum]

Sounds like it's not deploying

Can I have the link to the room page?

[night veldt]

https://tryhackme.com/room/juiceshop

It worked and then... not anymore

[eager fulcrum]

Deploys just fine for me

Can you open your browser console and show any errors?

[night veldt]

no error

[eager fulcrum]

what do you mean "Ping ok"?

[night veldt]

I tried to ping the address of the juice shop machine and no packet loss

[eager fulcrum]

I thought you didn't have the IP?

[night veldt]

and now it doesn't work anymore

I have the IP from the active machine information of the juice shop room

[eager fulcrum]

So you just can't open it in your browser?

[night veldt]

my mistake the ping is OK I have made a mistake in the target address of my ping

yes I can't access the website using my browser

always a "waiting for" message

[eager fulcrum]

Works fine here using my own kali and the THM kali

10.10.96.203 try that IP

[night veldt]

same problem

[eager fulcrum]

It's working here so I'm not quite sure what's up

[eager fulcrum]

Oh

You have burp intercepting

You need to switch to burp proxy and forward the request through every time

[rose sky]

test

wtf

discord broke for me 😦

[eager fulcrum]

yeah it's having issues again

I couldn't send messages like 5mins ago

[rose sky]

i thought me installint virtualbox crashed it

[night veldt]

@eager fulcrum thanks as it wasn't explained in the tasks it wasn't clear

[eager fulcrum]

@night veldt If it's the burp room, that's being replaced soon

Is there any reason why a "section" in a learning path would be marked incomplete even though all the rooms are complete (and marked with the checkbox)?

IDK but I have that too RN

but it can't not reach my IP

i don't know where i am wrong

[stone roost]

ip a on your kali

to see if that's your actual tun0 ip

[lyric sandal]

it is tun0

I have tried some time but nothing

[stone roost]

i'm certain it works

ctf100 is a hell of a journey lol

try regenerating your vpn config file

not sure if that will fix it but worth a shot

[lyric sandal]

yeah, i will try again

the same problem

i don't know why

[celest sapphire]

i couldn't get it to work even after regenerating the config, I had to download the ova and do the first part locally

[lyric sandal]

thank for advice, I will do like that

[stone roost]

hmm, weird

it worked fine for me

[feral dock]

It's a known bug, if you search for ctf100 in the search bar and go to page 3, you'll find it.

[stone roost]

oh, alright, thanks for letting me know ❤️

@celest sapphire The VM worked well

[celest sapphire]

[uneven jackal]

[feral dock]

What kind of assistance do you require?

[leaden token]

just put your question here

[uneven jackal]

Machines keep constantly crashing wanted to know if its just this lab or is it a general thing

also how do I fix this cus Its impossible to do anything like this

[leaden token]

which lab exactly?

[uneven jackal]

webfundamentals

[leaden token]

it should be fine

hmm, are you sure your VPN is fine?

[uneven jackal]

remade the machine like 10 times now and it crashes after a few minutes everytime

now it wont even start

[leaden token]

reload the page

[uneven jackal]

yea vpn is stable

everything else works

reload the page on THM?

[leaden token]

yes

[uneven jackal]

k ill try that

[leaden token]

okay, i'll check the room now

and verify if there's an issue

[uneven jackal]

was up for 1 minute and crashed again

and none of the directories worked just the main page

[leaden token]

idk everything works fine for me

get, POST

all good

and what do you exactly mean by crashed?

[uneven jackal]

are you on the vip server or the public one?

[leaden token]

server does not matter in this case

[uneven jackal]

just doesnt respond to anything

cant even go on the main page

ip:port just doesnt go to it

[leaden token]

do you specify port 8081

[uneven jackal]

same address that worked a min ago

yea it works for 1 min

and then doesnt work anymore

[feral dock]

@uneven jackal Post the ip here, I'll see if I can connect to it

[leaden token]

scan it with nmap

see if it works

[uneven jackal]

http://10.10.239.0:8081/

[leaden token]

[feral dock]

It's working for me

[leaden token]

[eager fulcrum]

[naive dust]

yeah well what do i do

is it something with openvpn ?

[uneven jackal]

[eager fulcrum]

Unlikely.

[naive dust]

so the same thing again on other box

[eager fulcrum]

!multivpn if it's dropping out

[sharp bison]

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>

but when i try to access to it with browser

good old error...

[tired condor]

can't click on my VM

I transferred a file to my pc and now i can't do nothing

[chrome rapids]

please specify what file and how

[tired condor]

rockyou.txt

dragged it

[chrome rapids]

it might just be stuck there

for future reference don't drag n drop files with over 100mb

how much time have you waited?

[tired condor]

not much like 1 min

[chrome rapids]

wait a bit more

i'd say 5 mins tops but you could have just crashed your vm with that

[eager fulcrum]

https://github.com/brannondorsey/naive-hashcat/releases/download/data/rockyou.txt

Download link there

wget or click and open in browser

[tired condor]

that's not the problem

omg

[chrome rapids]

@eager fulcrum he dragged it over from his host

[eager fulcrum]

Yeah, I'm just sayin next time

[tired condor]

I'm gonna have to restart this shit

[split kettle]

Can someone helps me with my kali distrib ? I can't add any repository without having the : 'url_repository' does not have a Release file.

Err:4 http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates Release
404 Not Found [IP: 192.99.200.113 80]

I have that, but in browser it's reached

[eager fulcrum]

sudo apt update

[split kettle]

this error comes from an update

[eager fulcrum]

That's my sources file

[split kettle]

yes

I have the same one with:
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

[leaden token]

is it a fresh kali install?

[split kettle]

I try to install pip for (python2) and it's not found in apt so I tried to add the universe repository

I just add these 2 to test

but it's the same error with all repository that I try to add..

@leaden token Yes, except that I just added these two lines

Is it the python-pip-whl one ?

kali@kali:~$ sudo apt-cache search python-pip
python-pip-whl - Python package installer

Ok, so I revert my changes in sources.list. I have now :

apt-get update works now but unable to find the python-pip package...

[eager fulcrum]

Why are you trying to use python2, out of interest?

Also, apt-get is deprecated

[split kettle]

ah ?

[eager fulcrum]

Replaced with apt

[split kettle]

python2 because an exploit doesn't run with python 3

[leaden token]

rewrite it so it would work with 3 :)

[split kettle]

yeah I agree but I'll waste lots of time if I have to rewrite every exploit that I'll use in the future...

I will not rewrite an exploit during a koth 😄

[leaden token]

not all exploits use py2

• one of the essential skills for pen tester is to modify exploits

it's fair about KOTH

[eager fulcrum]

@split kettle https://www.kali.org/news/python-2-end-of-life/

[split kettle]

😢

I'm so old ? apt-get deprecated, python2 end of life, is Cobol still alive ? 😄

[eager fulcrum]

Python2 was EoL'd by the developers

[split kettle]

ok @eager fulcrum so, I'll fix the exploit...

[eager fulcrum]

No sane person would write a new system in COBOL now

[split kettle]

^^

It was a joke

wow, apt search is beautiful against the apt-cache search one
