Hi, again me with my VPN connection issue, could someone help me?

eager fulcrum May 5, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

You're being too vague.

rich flare May 5, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

Yes, I explained it yesterday and 2 or 3 days ago... I am on a room, I ping the machine, I can work on it and after few sec or min, I loose the connection and if I restart my VPN, it works again.

#

For example, here I am working on a room where I need to bruteforce with Hydra, but it's hard because I lose the connection

#

Sometimes it comes back and Hydra continues, but it's very slow

#

Yesterday I had the same problem, when I tried to connect with RDP on a machine, connection was made but after few sec I lost the connection I had to restart the VPN

eager fulcrum May 5, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Make sure you're only running a single OpenVPN connection

rich flare May 5, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Yes I am sure

eager fulcrum May 5, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

So only connected from one device, and that device is only running one connection

• 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>

rich flare May 5, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Yes

eager fulcrum May 5, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

Check your openVPN logs when you get disconnected

#

See what it says

rich flare May 5, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

For example, I was pinging the VM, it was not working.
Now, I didn't touch anything and ping is working again by itself

#

Hydra is going through also

eager fulcrum May 5, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

That's not your openvpn logs.

rich flare May 5, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

No it's not thank you Ninja

Good Afternoon. Is it common for free boxes to have lots of issues? (Keep having meterpreter/shell sessions lock up while running basic commands.) Just wondering if I were to subsribe would the boxes be more stable?

eager fulcrum May 5, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

Subscribing gives the VMs more resources

#

it also means you can use the VIP VPN server

#

IDK if that'd make it more stable, it could be your shell isn't in a stable process.

#

Disclaimer, I don't get any commission from people subscribing but I am a paid content creator for THM

echo moon May 5, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

Nice. Just joined today and really like the set up. I was just disapointed in what seemed like the stability of the VM for Blue. I will keep playing with it to see if I can pin point if its the VPN or VM. Most likly going to subscrib anyway, so are you sure you dont get a commission? 😋

Hey peeps, really enjoyed the networkservice room by PoloMints, but I can't seem to reproduce two answers . On T6-#6 nmap gets stuck on the service scan stage and I can only get "unknown" as the service (I know it's telnet but the wording has me stuck).

Thanks anyone who would take the time to help reproduce the answers.

eager fulcrum May 6, 2020, 6:08 PM

I want to say -sC is what takes a while?

I do nmap -sV -v -p- because it tells me open ports as it finds them

near jewel May 6, 2020, 6:10 PM

Jason, do about half of what your main pc has. Maybe a gig more.. I have about 16 gb, so I use around 8 or 9 for my kali machine

My open vpn is installed on my on my host computer (windows). Linux is the virtual machine I do majority of the task through on sites such as tryhackme. Okay the issue I’m having. On tryhackme. The common Provsec escalation course in the section enumeration. It wants me to share a file to the target machine using a python server. Each time I’ve ran this the targets output has been “connection refused”. Since The course requires a vpn could it be there’s a up address I’m not seeing when I ifconfig in my Linux machine to which I’d then be able to shared the linEnum file with the target machine..... hate to be so verbose but maybe it’d help

eager fulcrum May 6, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

@digital wigeon Ok, you need to think about this

#

If the VPN is running on your host, where does your VPN IP address point?

slim shadow May 6, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

I do nmap -sV -v -p- because it tells me open ports as it finds them
@eager fulcrum yea i do this also..well without -v..i do -Pn -p- and sometimes -T4 and just now that took around 20 mins

digital wigeon May 6, 2020, 6:17 PM

My host and not the virtual machine.

eager fulcrum May 6, 2020, 6:17 PM

Well, he could set his VM to bridged instead of NAT

eager fulcrum May 6, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

@near jewel Nope.

#

Wouldn't work, IP address would still point to the windows host

#

Traffic would not reach the VM

#

There's only one solution, and I want them to think about it and reach it themselves

It's a lesson about networking

Idk if any of guys did vulnversity already..but the gobuster part is running about 20 mins now and its only 33% complete..using a medium list..I find thats a bit too slow

digital wigeon May 6, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

👍

eager fulcrum May 6, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

@digital wigeon Essentially, if you stop running the VPN on windows and start running it on your Kali VM the IP address will then point to your kali VM

#

You can still use the THM network with the VPN on windows because your host OS is doing NAT

#

It's the same way you can share 1 public IP for all the devices on your home network

Hi all, I'm preparing my own Kali VM while reading "Learn Kali Linux 2019" from packt.com (it's free, check in #resources ). In the book, at "build your test lab", is written to set the virtual network IP scheme to be in a range of addresses starting by 10.x.x.x. Is this gonna cause issues with THM vpn, as it redirects connection to that range of IPs?

stone roost May 7, 2020, 8:21 AM

#

@short egret this channel is mostly for tryhackme related technical questions however. you don't have to manually set an ip for your kali. using either bridged or NAT would be just fine

short egret May 7, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

@stone roost oh ok, sorry about that. Where is the best place for this stuff, so next time I won't bother?

#

the ip thing is for setting up a "closed" lab with a couple of different servers on it, not sure I'm gonna do it, but just in case

• 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>

barren birch May 7, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

Be aware that the bot command is now slightly out of date for most people, with the advent of Kali 2020

#

There should now be three lines, with the first one being sudo, and the last one being grep

#

Personally I usually have 4 with no issues, because it's also in a tmux session

#

It's when you have duplicates of that second line that you have problems

Heeey guys, a bored newbie here... I have troubles with nmap with windows subsystem with kali linux and google doesn't answer prayers... anyone can lend a hand?

barren birch May 8, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

Yeah, WSL does not play nice with nmap

#

Try a VM

valid mason May 8, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

I managed to run it and managed to scan my own server, but when I try to nmap the server deployed in Vulnversity room (openVPN connected, I can ping it) it coughs "dnet: Failed to open device eth1"

#

And that's the weird part

eager fulcrum May 8, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

It doesn't get access to the networking stuff properly

valid mason May 8, 2020, 1:05 AM

will wmware do the job better?

Mhm

#

Should do

valid mason May 8, 2020, 1:07 AM

So all that setup and testing past 2 hours for nothing... dang

Uhm...so after installing nmap on windows... restart helps 😁

I deploy a machine in a room and it gets assigned an IP that is unreachable by me, what can I do ?

hallow hare May 8, 2020, 2:45 AM

make sure you started openvpn with the config file you downloaded from the Access tab

#

that's where I'd start

stuck rose May 8, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

I did that, didn't fix it

valid mason May 8, 2020, 2:56 AM

it needs 1-2min to start up

also check access page if you are connected

@stuck rose Windows machines by default do not respond to pings.
That's why you're unable to ping it.

Hello. I have subscribed but I am not getting the "Open in Browser" prompt on deployed machines
I also don't know how to connect via ssh since the excercise doesn't seem to specify a user or password.
I had this problem on the "RP: tmux" room and the "Common Linux Privesc" room
But it worked in the "Linux Challengges Introduction" room

leaden token May 8, 2020, 7:50 AM

Not all rooms require you to SSH

#

in most of them, all the attacks are carried out from your VM, or you could use kali machine on the website to do that

#

especially with RP: Tmux, you are not supposed to connect to the machine

Deployed machine stops responding on most commands
Am on the privesc linux room

Given you're being assigned a single IP address

redeployed
ran id -> worked
ran less /etc/passwd immediately hangs on pressing enter. no output

also just remembered to check this. I can ssh into my DigitalOcean droplet from Powershell without problems and the same commands run without hanging

Hi. I finished the advert of Christmas but one task is not working out... The "Accumulate" task... I can't get those browsers to appear... I read in one of the writeups that I should open chrome and explorer before executing the task as per @rigid oxide the creater of the machine... But that doesn't work... Can someone help me out please?

I'm also having openvpn problems; my local Kali VM (not a tryhackme browser one) is running openvpn with my latest config file but all requests to tryhackme machines time out

Well, im in windows, so i download the vpn, install it, import the file but when i connect some error appear so i can't connect. Something abour openssl but i don't know what that means.

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>

I have a question, do I have to download the vpn in a VM with linux or I can just install it in Windows?
@fallow tartan You can do either/or - but you're most likely to get most use out of it on Linux i.e. Kali Linux

fallow tartan May 8, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

I'm learning kali linux but the webpage itself let you use kali in the browser isn't it?

#

I mean if the VPN doesn't work I will try to install it in Kali right after, I just wanted to know if I can solve this problem in Windows

zealous yoke May 8, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

You can use kali in the browser if you have a subscription aye - you don't need a VPN for that (You can also RDP into it from Windows if you'd prefer, you don't need vpn for that either)

#

Did you try to regenerate and import the new certificate? @fallow tartan

fallow tartan May 8, 2020, 8:09 PM

Yeap

Like 500 times xD

It's ok ill try to install it in my VM with Kali. Thank you for helping me anyway ❤️ 🙂

zealous yoke May 8, 2020, 8:11 PM

Out of curiosity

#

Right click the little openvpn icon in your taskbar -> Edit Config

#

Do you have something like this? namely the ---BEGIN CERTIFICATE--- and ---END CERTIFICATE---

#

But yeah if it doesn't work in Kali / Linux even after the new openvpn file then it might need a looking into

You can't assume the VM runs a web server

#

So you can't assume it will load in a browser

The VM for the Blue room, windows machine

Had to reinstall Kali due to failed update, and every single time I install it I have the same problem with the wireless connections. My internal wifi card is not detected and neither is a USB. Has anyone had the same issue who could help?

zealous yoke May 8, 2020, 11:15 PM

#

Sounds like drivers @hollow basin you'll have to google around depending upon your hardware specs

trim rapids May 8, 2020, 11:15 PM

#

Might have to manually install drivers, but I wouldn't know since I use ethernet sorry

hollow basin May 8, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

Are drivers just an execution or do I have to do a significant amount of messing around

minor river May 8, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

@hollow basin installing kali can be quite tricky because of the issues with the drivers. Why don’t you run it on VM? it’d solve so many problems, and, it’s also safer

hollow basin May 8, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

I hate the Kali installation process so much.. anyone have a new /apt/sources.list

minor river May 8, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

are you dual-booting?

hollow basin May 8, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

Yes, but I mainly use kali

#

Windows is literally just to write images in case I need to re install

minor river May 8, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

what drivers do you need? wifi?

hollow basin May 8, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

Yes

#

But I'm also unable to do apt install kali-linux-all

minor river May 8, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

it doesn’t work that way

#

can you mount the windows file system from kali?

hollow basin May 8, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

No

minor river May 8, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

why not, it’s definitely possible since you’re dual booting

hollow basin May 8, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

Oh I can

minor river May 8, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

just click on the windows drive

#

if you can, go back to windows and download the drivers there, so you can fetch them from kali afterwards

hollow basin May 9, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

Alright, I can probably search how to install them, but I also couldn't get my apt sources.list to work

minor river May 9, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

look up what your wifi card is and then just google it. Also, upon installation it must’ve told you “firmware x is missing”

#

that’s the driver you should be looking for

eager fulcrum May 9, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

Unless it's USB chipset drivers?

#

They said they couln't get a usb stick working

#

lsusb

minor river May 9, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

once you copy and paste the packages on kali, unzip it and then do sudo apt update , sudo apt install (package_name)

#

to unzip them (tar xf package_name)

hollow basin May 9, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

Damn this so confusing I might just go back to useing the 2016 version

minor river May 9, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

anyway, If I were you i’d go for Vm. Penetration testers use it on Vm as well. Kali isn’t an everyday distro

hollow basin May 9, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

I like it, when it works, even for regular kind of tasks

minor river May 9, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

download VMware player, then go to the kali website and download kali for vwware

#

you’ll be surprised how easy and effective it is.

#

running it on vm is really good, it’s fast and way more secure for hacking

hollow basin May 9, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

I know, I've done it on my desktop, I just prefer the os

minor river May 9, 2020, 12:06 AM

hi all. im trying to do a box where I know a subdomain is iused. I found it by fuzzing the subdoamins. However whenever I go to it, my ISPs "did not find this page" comes up. I added the domain to /etc/hosts .. but I cannot get it to load. can someone help?

#

the domain itself loads but not the subdomain

#

@torn fossil Ok, DNS.

#

A subdomain is a separate record to the main domain unless you have a wildcard

#

You need to add the subdomain

to etc hosts?

For example, remote.tryhackme.com will be a separate record to www.tryhackme.com
