The reason you can access different sites depending on the name you use is something called VHOSTs
Look into it
So adding a wildcard like *.thm.com would allow me to not need to do it for every subdomain?
ight thank u
hello, I think I have an issue with the VPN connection
I get every 3mn : Sat May 9 20:21:26 2020 [server] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting
and I lost ssh connection on the room VM
ok thanks @eager fulcrum ๐
shit, There were 2 openvpn up ^^
(after killed the official one)
issue disappeared. I will know for the next time, is it a Ctrl-C that can let this zombie process ?
I remember double Ctrl-C avoiding the process to finishing properly
What?
hum sorry bad EN
yes, but if you ctrl-c again duringg this process, is exit properly too ?
hum, Sat May 9 21:18:25 2020 SIGINT[hard,] received, process exiting
I just tried, double Ctrl-C and it's a instantly exit
Simple Ctrl-C => SIGTERM[soft,exit-with-notification] received, process exiting
Double Ctrl -C => SIGINT[hard,] received, process exiting
find /* | grep x 2>> /dev/null doesn't take out restricted file logs
You're piping the errors for grep
Not for find
And find /* is bad
And should not be done
The correct way is find /
Because find /* is globbed
Thank you
I want a service on CentOS server to be the mediator server between a game windows server and a player, so that the player deals with the mediator server and is not directly with the gameโs server For example, Cloudflare service but not http i want for windows application
This is for help with tryhackme @dreamy ginkgo
@eager fulcrum any channel ?
Probably a different server is best
Can you look up a couple messages to what I just said?
@dreamy ginkgo I'm also going to direct you to rule 13. Do your own research.
Like seriously.
I found like 5 different solutions within a few minutes
@eager fulcrum I searched for it
Why do I ask here?
What?
ok help me !
This is for technical support with tryhackme.
oh allah , ok thank you
This is the third time I've said it.
You should say "Welcome" now
Hello guys,
I'm Ali from Egypt. I'm having an issue connecting to TryHackMe VPN due to blocking VPN UDP connection here in Egypt. I'm just wondering if there is any possibility to connect using TCP instead. There is a similar configuration on HackTheBox and it works here.
Thanks all!
root@kali:~# nmap --script vuln 10.10.94.216
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-05-10 05:12 UTC
Segmentation fault
why its slow when i connect to vpn ?
my ping time with machine is about 100ms but nmap , gobsuter ,... run slowly ?
nmap always freezes at 98.52% in the Kali box
it eventually fixed itself, took about 4 minutes of waiting
can i change TCP / UDP on ovpn ?
just switch the server
weird , i try download file on THM Kali with ovpn , My Download speed is 100Kb/s . but when i try download it with Public ip my Download speed speed is 2Mb/s
let me switch the server
yes thats what i just stated
can anyone help me with installing arch on virtualbox?
This is the error I'm getting
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399812928854949890/708905557628682296/unknown.png
can i switch tcp/udp on my OpenVPN ?
and yes I've ben using google to try to find answers and none so far that have actually made a difference
@hallow hare This is not a question related to TryHackMe, read the channel description.
define related, because the whole reason I'm trying to do anything with vm's is to do tryhackme boxes and possibly other ones too.... which makes it related, but its find I'll seek help other places
can someone test speed while connect to ovpn wget 10.10.104.163/kali-linux-2020.1b-installer-amd64.iso
@hallow hare 

I can hardly see the img, does it say darkstar?


the issue is it's super small. even opening it in the browser only half shows up
ah weirdly enough I can copy half the image then the other half ๐ I've never seen that before
ah your trying to tell me to Try Harder? there isn't anything else I can do, I've installed the iso multipe times even from different sources to try that factor. the issue is that it doesn't work!
@hallow hare Just follow the Arch Wiki installation guide.
...
...
@feral dock can test it while connect to ovpn wget 10.10.104.163/kali-linux-2020.1b-installer-amd64.iso
i want see speed test with ovpn and without
kk
canceled and resub worked!
Nice
Hey guys and girls, having a bit of a tech issue with VMware Workstation - I've gone to boot up my Kali session and have been greeted with this?
It then just hangs. Anyone else experienced it?
Really, no other fix?
I don't think so, you'd need fdsk but that's only in root
It's strange as the last thing I did with it was ran an update/upgrade command and now I can't boot.
Really hoping I don't have to reinstall, had some useful stuff on there that I would have preferred to have kept.
yeet it out the window
Try switching over servers, that usually fixes everything
Actually the koth box was refusing to appear as a host that's up and a reset fixed it up
What room is this for @naive dust? If it's a Windows box you'll need to do -Pn indeed
^^
you need to ssh
yeah iik
i tried that 2
slavko@slavko-pc:~/Documents/goblaster$ ssh tryhackme@10.10.195.61
ssh: connect to host 10.10.195.61 port 22: Connection timed out
re-deploy and wait
did that 2...
this will be third time doing it
just tried other room
i can't go to any room....
aaa i will need to restart my pc lmfaoo
!multivpn
showing what ?
nothing :)

ok so i was just playing koth and my electricity went off and came back and now i am facing this issue:
nvrmnd restarting the pc fixed it ^^^^
still have speed issue with ovpn
get a better wifi
any1 having issues with machines today? mine are getting frozen right after password input
give this a whirl @cursive palm
Try switching VPN servers on https://tryhackme.com/access @cursive palm
If you're still having issues and haven't re-deployed the box already - do that.
if I cat or nano the machine freezes 
cant even terminate the command
ill try a different room
i need some help on goldeneye machine. so i'm trying to get a reverse shell from ||moodle ||page, i'm sure that i'm doing everything right with ||spellchecker ||but shell is not spawning. can anybody help me?
hellooo? tech-support??
@simple wagon You're asking for help with a room. #room-help
james i really think its something related with a technical issue
because i'm doing exact samething as guided in the room, but let me ask on there either.
i also checked this before writing here
i guess its something related with this but there is no option on the page related with this
Not really a big issue, nmap -A -p- always fails to show only ports on first run, but on second or third it shows the open ports
Happened on a few KotH boxes and Ignite
@trim rapids Takes time to boot
Would it not just report the host as down like it usually does in that case?
For me the http server idles out at connecting to <ip> when the VPN is running, common issue?
Ah nvm it finally finished
Just slow internet, runs fine on the Kali Machine
Got the verification email, but it says my account could not be verified
@deep trellis
I got ninjajc01test as my alt for testing rooms at non sub levels
nice
Ninja, could you throw yourself into my private KotH until we get this resolved? If that's ok with you
@trim rapids You don't have to verify to play koth
Yeah you do?
You have to set your experience level
I think your best bet is to regen config looking at that @soft silo
is your host/vm timezone set as it should be?
you need to verify yourself to play KoTH :))
Did you try send the verification email again @trim rapids
Anyways I resent it again and it worked
@trim rapids
has anyone seen an error like this
You should have burp suite already installed with Kali?
I'd look into finding out how to install it rather then launching a .jar file for it especially as it seems to be causing issues for you
well i tried to install it with the .sh but i get this
Also that error re. your JRE version is a pretty good hint
yes
IIRC burp suite is 64bit only
so i cant use it
Is anybody else having a really bad speed on Hydra? It was at 4000 yesterday and now it's 200
On the Kali Machines
exactly i have speed issue over vpn
can you download this file over vpn and tell me your speed
wget 10.10.210.60/kali-linux-2020.1b-installer-amd64.iso
my Download speed over ovpn : 111KB/s
wget 3.249.136.48/kali-linux-2020.1b-installer-amd64.iso
My download Speed without ovpn : 3.5Mb/s
i hope someone explain me
this is THM Kali machine i can access over ovpn and internet but speed not same
Iโd expect traffic is throttled on the THM kali box + openvpn overheard for reasons just like that @prisma nest
They arenโt really designed for the stuff youโre trying to do. How come youโre downloading an installer iso from the kali box rather then just directly from kali Linux site?
@zealous yoke it just for speed test
exactly i have a really low speed in nmap and dirbuster on my machine when using ovpn ,
Turned webgoat
Machine on
Getting pibg i ips..but
But accessing woth ip:8000/webgoat unablet o get the web page.
Give it another 5mins.
When i do nmap getting ....only 22 open
@eager fulcrum is it common to get that tupe of problems
The virtual machines take time to boot.
They are like physical computers
The services have to start after the OS loads.
Services take different times to start.
Have some patience, then come back to it in 5mins
If im a vip user then it will be tooo fast right
It will be faster. But it still takes time.
Htb ...is ....faster ....but there is ...lot of stuff in THM
No, HTB isn't faster
You share VMs with other people in HTB
So there's no boot process.
@eager fulcrum Can you check that speed test ?
@prisma nest Stop asking please
why ?
Especially tagging me
Because I can't? Because I'm busy with otber stuff?
Many reasons
they you should silent this room for yourself cause here is tech-support
@prisma nest You tagged me.
exactly i have a really low speed in nmap and dirbuster on my machine when using ovpn ,
@prisma nest When you say "my machine" do you mean the THM kali vm or a VM that you're running yourself?
If it's the latter it sounds like a localised issue (your connection speed)
@zealous yoke i just did simple test , i Lunch THM Kali , and put a large file for download on it , now on my ubuntu machine ovpn to THM and start download it
my download speed is about 120Kb/s
but when i download that file from THM Kali over internet Internet my download speed is 3Mb/s
that why my nmap and gobuster and ... is run slowly from my own machine
So that'll be a factor of both openvpn overhead and your geographic distance from the vpn servers
I don't imagine it'd make too much of a difference but try switching servers
yes i want make it sure , but nobody want test it ๐
There's nothing really we can test - you've done more then we can
i want sure its my ISP issue or something else
i know some isps Throttle Speed after connect ovpn
Very possibly
I might be having the same problem. although ti seems too slow for even that.
webpages hosted by the servers won't load. I have experienced this with the burp suite intro where only the login form loaded and I have the same problem in the OWASP Juice Shop
Is burp intercepting?
no. right now I am testing without burp.
I also seem to be getting a lot of disconnect from the Kali machine today.
I also still have those ssh problems when connecting from my own machine.
Hey noob here, I'm on the RP: metasploit room doing task 5 challenge 1, i keep trying to run the command provided but it keeps saying that the database is not connected? i tried to search around here but couldn't find anything. Any help shall be appreciated.
msfdb init or msfdb start
i started it using msfconsole and then used the command it tells me to use : db_nmap -sV BOX-IP
even just typing db_nmap by itself it sasy that the database is not connected
i just re-read your response and tried using msf init and start. it says the database is already started and when i run the command it says it's disconnected
tbf you can skip db_nmap if everything else works, just run nmap
that worked, thanks!
@earnest void you can start Metasploit with the database running with โmsfdb runโ or โservice postgresql startโ then start Metasploit.
Thereโs a few ways to do it, as James showed above.
I'll have to try that thanks
that worked, thank you
Is there a way to see all of my unused vouchers all at once?
If not, this would be a really, really nice feature. Especially for those of us who try to give them away. ๐
Hey, is there a way to change openvpn to tcp connection, like in HTB? I am behind a proxy and that's my only option.
I mean, does THM support tcp?
@random anvil Not yet.
Thanks @eager fulcrum . Can I expect some date? I have aroud 30 peers who will start using THM when this will be possible ๐
I don't have a date for you
Could always tunnel your traffic using something like Chisel
got it. Never heard of chisel, will look that up now.
Hi, I joined using my personal email, went to subscribe and saw the student discount. I changed my email to the school one (.edu), verified, but I don't see the student discount. When I go to subscribe it says it will be $10/mo not 8. Is there something else I need to do?
(sorry if I am asking in the wrong place)
Awesome, thank you!
Guys i really wish i can connect direct from my Vm Kali machine (openvpn is blocked here in my country) so if u guys can allows openvpn TCP connectivity will be great form your end thanks
not yet implemented
Could always tunnel your traffic using something like Chisel
but you can try this
no idea
alright bro ty
i hope so,so i can renew my sub ๐
I've been waiting for nearly 5 minutes now
Anyone still having some trouble trying to get the site to load stuff?
yes
^
nothing except dashboard is loading
@hoary heath have you tried something like ctrl+f5 or maybe an incog browser.. just to see if it's not some rogue cookie/session?
I have the same issue.
I also have troubles since 1 hour or so, cant load rooms, or access a webserver
This is what I get when I try going to Learning Paths:
That's happen when i tried dowload the configuration file using EU-VIP
Yeah it looks like the site's being a bit iffy atm
It's a code push / update so bare with ^^
tbf.. I had (same) problems.. moved to incog browser and I'm fine
@zealous yoke Ok, thanks for the info ๐
Getting 504 timeouts and 500 Internal Server Error when I just tried to login
Same
Are there any problems with the site? I wonder if the problem is with my browser or maybe with the site?
seems like backend problem
Read prev comment, it's an update guys
Ok
New announcement, please wait 10 minutes #announcements
ok I see, 500 so definetely my browser is OK ๐
#announcements ๐
Hi so I tried to join RP:Metasploit just now and it seems (maybe because of the issues just now) it got bugged...
Looks like this now
Tried on Firefox on Win10 and Kali Live
The site as a whole is still being worked on from the maintenance period (#announcements) @raw shuttle
if you were to visit the room again when it's over it should sort itself out ๐
Ah okay, I just saw someone saying something about it being live again...
Thanks, I'll ask again if it keeps not working ๐
It's live but being a bit iffy ๐ Sounds good!
Yea I noticed ๐
hehe yeah good point! ๐
Aight so the problem is still there... I can deploy and the "Join room" button isn't there, but I don't see any questions
Also, the room isn't listen in "My Rooms"
@raw shuttle control f5
Doesn't fix it :/
@raw shuttle Then wait like a minute and do it again
Aight
Just as additional info, the questions show up in a JSON response to GET https://tryhackme.com/api/tasks/rpmetasploit
That's happen when i tried dowload the configuration file using EU-VIP
@keen sparrow Regenerate your config file
Then wait a few seconds, and click then re-download
The problem is still there btw @eager fulcrum
@raw shuttle Leave and rejoin the room
Thanks, that fixed it
Didn't know I could leave rooms ๐
Hello, how do i get the student discount?
thx
can i change the password of my machine
kali machine. i leaked the password ip and name of the vm
ah
it isnt smart to do it onstream haha
Yes you can change it to whatever you like
where can i do that., need to be fast ๐
thx bro
Sorry to ask again but next to the normal root access the rdp password can be changed also right?
the RDP password of a user is linked to the user's system password
so if you change a users system pass, their RDP will change too in this case
Perfect. so i hope i can use the machine onstream without leaking any other information which are important. sorry i am a beginner in this scene.
Yeah with no problems ๐
Well you'll give out the IP address...
isn't exactly sensitive though
yea but that isnt the problem i think. without the login credentials.
is there an option to turn off the machine?
Pretty much - especially as you'll only have it for an hour. You can enumerate for kali boxes anyway aha
yes but no. You technically can but you shouldn't as you wouldn't be able to bring the box back up. It's one way street
yea true. so after stream i cant reset the machine
It's ephemeral just like any other instance you deploy ๐
Once it expires it's as if it never existed.
You deploy again, you'll get a different IP and the vm will be brand new
(including the default passwords etc...)
thx.
Essentially don't store any files on there because if you were to come back the next day they're gone!
ok. so after the stream i terminate the machine and everything fine
if by "fine" you mean that whatever you had done on it doesn't exist after you terminate it - yes ๐
yes that is perfect. everthing i leaked doesnt exists anymore
I mean, the IP address might end up assigned to another Kali VM eventually but
yeah all is good ๐
thats not my problem anymore then haha
it's safe to hedge a bet
CTF100 Stage 3 Machine is not working
Terminate. Redeploy.
Hello??
TMH Kali machine not initial
Is TryhackMe free?
@fluid quarry yes some rooms are
Thx
I have a problem creating a virtual machine
I cant create VM
@shy bough what do you mean?
tmux room machine is not for connecting, itโs just for scanning
@tardy barn how so?
Gonna have to be slightly more specific I'm afraid ๐
RIght now I Have to wait
for 3 min
๐
but maybe You have a right, I will try run this page on another browser
ok, great it works ๐
how exactly does this streak work? about 14 hours ago i solved my last task and the streak was at 1. now i log in and the streak is at 0. why is that? did a whole day pass in these 14 hours?
the last task probably counts as on previous day, if you solve a task now it should be 1/2
days are counted according to BTC from what I saw on the clientside scripts
whats btc?
yeah bst, my bad
but timezones shouldnt matter here, dont they? if you solve a task and your streak is 1 then its not possible for the streak to be 0 just 14 hours later. because even if the reset was minutes after i solved the task, the next day still isnt over.
or am i missing something?
as i understand the streak, it resets to 0 if you have a full day without solving a task. so in the best case (if you solve the last task just before the day is over) it takes a bit more than 24 hours for the streak to reset to 0.
From the FAQs: "If the time between your last answered question and the current time is more than 24h, your streak is reset."
so, my last task is definitely not more than 24 hours ago
From the FAQs: "If the time between your last answered question and the current time is more than 24h, your streak is reset."
@shell lagoon Whats your THM username?
prrovoss
Ahh actually
That works it out using server time
I think I know what the issue is
Please use your profile to check your streaks for now (https://tryhackme.com/p/prrovoss)
ok
What VPN server are you on?
Anyone using 2020.1b Kali and having network issues - IE that he doesn't seem to notice the connection from VMware?
Think it's a bug.
I use the ISO form direct from the website, I don't like the VMware or Virtualbox created machines.
what's your adapter type set as?
Good question actually.
NAT
Although I've tried switching it but that doesn't seem to work either.
nat or bridged should be fine
Hi all!
I'm having some problems with the VPN access
TLS Error: Unroutable control packet received from [AF_INET]18.202.129.195:1194 (si=3 op=P_CONTROL_V1)
I turned off and turned on again many times, but the mistake continuous
some help?
Have you tried re-downloading a new ovpn file from the access page on THM?
I would also make sure that your date and time on your machine are up-to-date so if you can synchronise I'd do that too.
Any luck?
Has it worked?
I think so
Glad to hear it.
Thanks so much!
No problem.
Has it worked?
@naive dust I'm sorry, but it doesn't working
41 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 40948ms
The connection is unstable
And I'm losing my session
Do you think I need to change the server?
Is it intentional that the "https://tryhackme.com/room/metasploit" room be locked? It's on the web fundamentals path and I wanted to 100% it
@deep trellis I swear you said you'd replace this on the path?
I rebooted the machine and it looks like fine now
I am trying to get linux kali on my windows pc using virtualbox. This always happens.
An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Select and install software.
I am using the default options for this step. I have tried known solutions online.
does any1 know how to fix this?
Can i connect using TCP instead of UDP ?
@frank hawk I think we've answered this for you before, not yet.
I who give thanks
@brisk steeple message here
ok
I keep getting a segmentation fault whenever I run -script vuln with nmap
it is not connecting to the webserver
Ok, can you try switching the server?
it is not connecting to 10.10.7.11
Ok, can you try switching the server?
Go to the same page you downloaded the config from and use the server dropdown
the alternative server for your contry
Try a regenerated config first
Download it
so i redownload
yeah
ok i re downloaded
ok
What changes do I need to make to the kali machine to be able to use hashcat?
Because of the OpenCL issue
doing CC: Pentesting
ok
Yeah and I mean he just posted, he's not going to have already left
@trim rapids Yeah you can crack those hashes in John instead
ok
Hashcat inside VMs isn't great
It's better when it has access to a GPU
I run it on Windows so I get nice perf
Unfortunate, hashcat is better for quick cracking since it's better optimized and you don't need to create a new file
i tried with the new one
fair
still no luck
Hashcat is normally faster because it can use GPUs out of the box
John can be compiled to get OpenCL support but by default it's CPU
Tue May 12 16:24:42 2020 Initialization Sequence Completed
Post full output
That's connected
it is??
To be fair that's the first thing you should've tried
And also checking if you can connect
And checking the port is open
And checking a lot of other things
have you tried using the webserver normally?
What room?
thecodcaper
Did you deploy the VM?
Is the VM actually up?
It doesn't seem to be up
It might have expired.
how do i know
...
i am running this on kali
Did you do the beginner material?
where is it
Like the stuff you're forced to do before you access the site?
@vapid dawn You need to lock everyone into it. It doesn't work.
yes
If you don't have it, what on earth are you trying to connect to?
i deployed the machine
Ok
What does cross site request forgery attempt mean
@hollow basin Google CSRF
It's basically telling you something bad happened but the site stopped it
@brisk steeple well, it's not up
Damn I got hackef
@hollow basin No
this is what my page says
@brisk steeple Try using the correct IP address.
Will help you a lot.
i am so dumb
Are you sure cod caper is the best choice right now?
https://tryhackme.com/room/completebeginner do this room.
ok
There's a lot of content that you can access without a subscription
So what can I do, ninja? I'm getting this on logging into tryhackme
@hollow basin Every time?
after i do that room i might start thinking about doing codcaper
Yes
@brisk steeple No, there's probably quite a few rooms you should do first
ok
cod caper expects you to be able to use linux very well
what rooms exactly
I would suggest just following the path
those are all free right
I just tryna log in not hack the website
@brisk steeple Yes.
okay
will check those out
do i do all the RP and BP rooms
so like the nmap and metasploit
I didn't specify a subset
ok
@hollow basin uhhh try incognito/private?
I recommend using the search to find easy, free, walkthrough rooms
bye
@hollow basin Clear cookies for thm and try again I guess
Same thing rip am sorry
Shodan time uwu
@eager fulcrum fix what sorry?
@deep trellis @hollow basin is getting CSRF attempt no matter what
Oh, weird.
@hollow basin have you tried using another browser?
It could be a plugin you're using?
And it's enabled in incognito mode too
Use an entirely different browser?
Is it possible to have ssl on the vpn connection?
udp causes an issue for me when transferring files between boxes, i.e. downloading linpeas.sh on victim box from my attacker box
Nope. I got in tho, same browser idk what changed
Hmm ok
I had the same issue on HTB
where changing to TCP
in the vpn conf
resolved it
when im trying to download linpeas via wget or curl from victim machine, the transfer gets stuck at round 17%
and the transfer speed is really slow
Change VPN server
I realised I hated SQLmap @trim rapids
Completely through me off when doing CC Pentesting.
SQLmap hates us all.
I figured out what I was doing wrong
I kept reading the content of a column as another column on accident
Looks like it terminated
hey, theres a problem on the "Ignite" room, at the last part when you get a reverse shell, the reverse shell won't take backspaces and interpretes them as "^?" and when i /bin/sh all characters are doubled, even those pasted,( s = ss, etc...), but it works out normal if i reverse shell from that reverse shell, so its just weird and wanted to point it out
i had restarted the room twice
Which supports my theory
ok
IP Address on Kali isn't showing anymore
@trim rapids I fixed this problem locally, the update will be pushed later this week
For now please terminate and then re-deploy.
Yeah it fixed after my 2nd redeployment
Are password lists (for uses in hydra/john etc) included on kali, or is there a good alternative source to find them?
/usr/share/wordlists on Kali ๐
sweet, appreciated guys!
Is there a VIP US East server?
@hidden plume Not at the moment
@hidden plume Not at the moment
@eager fulcrum Would be a cool feature! ๐ No problem tho, thanks for the reply!
@hidden plume It's been suggested so it's likely coming once there's enough demand for it
For now, the US server is likely to be faster than the VIP server
VIP VPN servers yeah
Nice.
The VMs are still deployed on AWS, but you get more resources
Hey is something wrong with the env? I canโt ping any of the servers and I have the active VPN connection open.
And my target machines have been deployed for 17 minutes
Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
If there's more than one line (and the second doesn't have "grep" in it), do the following steps
Type killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter
Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>
@pearl barn There's nothing you can do at the moment other than tunnel your traffic elsewhere first or wait for TCP VPN to be enabled.
It's coming soon.
If you're a subscriber, you can use the TryHackMe kali box without the VPN to interact with the VMs you deploy.
I don't know.
James, is it alright if I send him my Kali Machine for now?
I don't know
You'd be accepting responsibility for potentially illegal actions that they might take with it
Alright works for me
But yeah I don't know the policy
You're a moderator
It's literally your job to know the policy
Not the site
ok
I have power here, over rooms I created and over rooms that are currently in review. That's all. I'd drop an email or tag Skidy to check.
There's a lot of users in Egypt that can't access THM
@eager fulcrum how did u know i'm from egypt?
If you're in China and on discord, you probably had a way around the great firewall already
i'm in egypt
Yeah, I guessed

Rest assured, we know quite a few people from Egypt want to access THM
And the admins would like to sort it, so that you're not blocked by your government.
alright bro
I've asked Ashu for a timeline so if you ask me tomorrow I might be able to give you some more info @pearl barn
(Ashu is one of the admins)
Just saw the message but I have removed the vpn file, changed servers and downloaded it again.
I shutdown any duplicate vpn tunnels along with removing processes that are of openvpn. I even shutdown my VM completely and still no luck
like 443 TCP
@pearl barn It's DPI IIRC so it needs to be TCP.
@fickle pendant Imma be real with you. It's 5:27am
I'm about to head out for the night
Okay lol
If you ask again in like, 6-10 hours more mods and mentors will be around
You're in the dead spot where the brits aren't awake and the Americans are going to sleep
That's where you're wrong-
@trim rapids Ok just because I'm 8 hours out of phase with the sun
Nah you're fine, I'm just nocturnal
can i only join/access one room at a time if i am not a subscriber?
if you are new, you are required to complete beginner's room
after that you'll be able to join as many as you wish
yup i am new to tryhackme. On the dashboard i have 5/6 in the 'Getting Started' path but i can join Linux Challanges as im redirected to the subscribe page.
i am also running in the room rpmetasploit and theimpossiblechallange so i dont know if its blocking it
then you should be able to join as much rooms as you like
@safe nimbus Some rooms are free rooms, however others are subscriber only so unless you subscribe you will not be able to access them.
Once you've subscribed which I naturally recommend you can join as many rooms as you like as you will have full access to the website.
how do i know if a room is free or not without joining? i am however planning to subscribe
If you click into the room that you are wanting to access - where you see the tasks section come up it will mention there in brackets whether it's a subscription only room or a free room.
yes i noticed that on the other room i can access but i cant access 'Linux Challanges' because i am getting redirected to the subscription page.
Because it's subscription only, meaning you would need to subscribe to access it.
ok i see
hey im working on the learn linux section and im trying to ssh in the machine(linux terminal not using the window method). I typed the password letter for letter according to the directions and it keeps giving me permission denied. I even pasted the password, any else I should try?
copy-paste the password
I did
are you connected to VPN?
yes
!multivpn
Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
If there's more than one line (and the second doesn't have "grep" in it), do the following steps
Type killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter
Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>
maybe try this ^
access page states is all green and in my terminal i have the Initialization Sequence Completed
ok ill check it out thanks
could it be bc i have hack the box as well?
but i did name the files differently
Shouldn't make a difference (to my understanding) as long as you are connected to one at a time - you are using the correct OVPN file aren't you? ๐
Hmm
but thanks for the help!
Glad it's worked anyway.. ๐
๐
i can't connect to this machine i have tried every nmap command even -Pn but nothing
even i am connected to ovpn
Hi, you're not connected properly
yes i am
You see the error in your openVPN window saying file exists?
then what to do
!multivpn
Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
If there's more than one line (and the second doesn't have "grep" in it), do the following steps
Type killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter
Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>
ok]
Add sudo in front of the killall step
Can we connect to the vpn on 2 machines at the same time ?
Nope @bold torrent it will cause each one to flick between being connected and not connected constantly
In turn making them both unusable ๐
That's what i've juste experienced ^^
So maybe there is an other solution, in this time i'm not at home and don't have my VM, i wanted to use my macbook to browse boxes and ssh my VPS to use kali but of course this means i need 2 vpn connections at the same time, any ideas ?
Why would you need two VPN connections?
one for the mac os to browse boxes, and one for my vps ?
nvm, i just have to use thm's kali ^^'
You can VPN to your VPS using your own setup and then VPN from VPS to Kali
Wouldn't expect great performance in the slightest but...it's an option
Yup, i'm gonna use THM's kali, better option, thanks !
@bold torrent I heartily recommend SSH although the in browser remote access is a lot better now
As of like, 20mins ago
ahaha, perfect timing ! ๐
I'll get a try on remote access, juste to see, but i prefer ssh anyway
So guys, can we use tcp on port 443 instead of udp for thr vpn or still under development? :D
It's still under development I'm afraid @restive anchor
Over a month ETA
Ill hang in there, then ๐
The other options are:
Tunnel your traffic elsewhere first
Hack from a VPS or something using the VPN
Use the THM subscriber kali, it's faster now
I'm unable to access the nmap website to install- anyone else have this issue?
@charred plinth Normally means your ISP is blocking it
Parental filters
Change your DNS servers, will get around most of them
ah okay
Thank you!
Hey, when I try to open a website of a machine the images don't load and I get these errormessages from the vpn. Any idea?
Regenerate config
Fixed the errors, but images still don't load
Can't really tell what could cause this, but even when I try to wget a image it just gets stuck at 55%
Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
If there's more than one line (and the second doesn't have "grep" in it), do the following steps
Type killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter
Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>
Sorry
@trim rapids That command is useless without --no-preserve-root, also the asterisk is useless in this case.
-r is the one that enables recursive mode
are you critiquing my joke
Yes
cool, i respect critics
Still not working
I am not even getting a respone anymore. @eager fulcrum
same with curl
You're a subscriber, just use the Kali box
@fading sun Did the VM expire?
Nope, it's still up
You're a subscriber, just use the Kali box
That's my last fallback, since my VM is way more responsive than the web box
@fading sun The web box got faster earlier today
Still, i'd prefer my own box
I am using the vip server. I am having this issue now for quite some time
Then switch to a different server
Still the same problem, with not getting a repsone
@deep trellis Can you help investigate? Nothing more I can do here
Still the same problem, with not getting a repsone
@fading sun So after a set amount of time, no matter which VPN server you've switched to, machines don't become accessable?
it does, but my vm doesn't get a response from the server when requesting images
Oh right, so no images on the JuiceShop VM show?
it's on all boxes. I just can't get any images.
yeah. Already tried vmware and virtualbox.
Also I disabled the AV of my host machine
I don't think its anything to do with your config file.
I think its something to do with your host machine.
any idea what could cause this
None at all.
Sorry I know that isn't much help
Send over your config file (private DM#), and I can see if it is a weird bug with us.
sent you a friend request. It's just weird since I don't have any problems with other VPNs
I also tried the vpn on my host machine, and it didn't work there aswell
installed metasploit and I'm getting constant windows security notifications- assuming this is normal?
@charred plinth Don't hack from windows
Every payload that metasploit has is likely to get picked up by Windows defender
that'd explain it
Make a Kali virtual machine
Windows and MacOS can be used
But kali has all the tools easily available
Kali/parrot
Hm ok, thank you.
heya, does anyone here have a clean .bashrc file for kali.1b ? I have accidentally overwritten mine to oblivion
@signal rune /etc/skel probably?
Hi - No doubt asked before but I can't seem to ssh to server. In the Linux room at the moment. Completed all my into tests and ssh'd to the 2020 buit with no issues but when I try to do it in the room after the system has booted up, it won't accept the root and Tryh4ckm3 password. My openvpn is confirmed as up. Any help or ideas is appreciated.
@ornate linden Those credentials aren't valid on other rooms
They are only valid for the kali room
Keep reading in the Learn Linux room. Maybe go back to the start too @ornate linden
@eager fulcrum Thank you. I went straight to the Linux SSH piece uot expecting the Windows Putty piece to actaully have the username and password. My bad! Thanks for the pointers.

@eager fulcrum oh cool, thx!
@eager fulcrum I finally fixed it. The MTU was missconfigured in the config.
I'd recommend that you add that to the troubleshooting/FAQ section on the access page 
https://www.sonassi.com/help/troubleshooting/setting-correct-mtu-for-openvpn
@deep trellis @vapid dawn This could be the cause of a lot of the weirdness on the VPN recently
this also sped up the vpn big time
ah thanks for sending this through - will take a look at it :))

@trim rapids Looks like you downloaded the html not the actual contents of PowerUp.ps1
yes to be fair im blind
yes to be fair im blind
@trim rapids Can't help you there, might I suggest visiting a ophthalmologist? ๐
You're fun.

@tepid urchin #room-help
Anyone can help me with the Kali machine room? I cannot login, keeps saying bad credentials.
@clear swan Do you have a Remote TryHackMe login dialog?
I've done that a couple of times now, should i keep doing it untill i skip that part? Cause i've used the machine before.
@deep trellis remote tryhackme bug again
I summoned Skidy for you
Should be able to sort it pretty quick
Skidy has been summoned ;)
Thanks man
all I can suggest now is termiante, wait and re-deploy.
My push will fix a lot of these issues
But the THM codebase push isn't happening until tonight/tomorrow afternoon
Read only fridays are a myth when you work 24/7
@deep trellis Also, please keep us updated on what's coming and what's been added with the push!
All good, i ll use my own Kali machine, just that i thought im dumb enough not to use the credentials right. Anyway, thanks for answer
Changelog is valuable
yes please
@deep trellis Also, please keep us updated on what's coming and what's been added with the push!
Yeah I need to add more to it. I've updated it a bit, but need to add all other things I've done
Need to make a habit of updating it more
I feel like we only visibly see a tiny proportion of the work you do so it'll be real nice to see it in the spotlight
like the small (but imporant) QoL's sorta thing yknow
Btw, the bug seems to happen only on the 2018 version of kali. 2020 works fine.
And after i started the 2020 version, then swapped to 2018 its working. Maybe coincidence tho.
Yeah I need to add more to it. I've updated it a bit, but need to add all other things I've done
yeah, from now I'll try to keep it as updated as much as possible:)
What virtual machine software do you guys recommend?
I have virtualbox installed atm but if thereโs a better one Iโll use that
There's not better free stuff
@charred plinth I'd recommend VMware Workstation 15 Player. But in the end, it comes down to preference.
Hi All!
For the sqli room (https://tryhackme.com/room/sqli) should there be only one question at first then we unlock more of them?
I'm only seeing question #1 after the deploy button.
@gaunt heart No, this is not a challenge. It's a lab.
It's for you to mess about and practice
@trim rapids ??
Hey, 30 free points isn't that bad
@trim rapids ???
????
Questions that don't require an answer give no points
Rooms that are classes as a walkthrough give 8pts per question
What? How did people have 30 points on the scoreboard?
because it didn't used to be like that
oh ok that makes sense
Hi guys, I've been solving tasks from rooms since couple of days but today my streak meter went down to 0 and back to 1 when I solved challenge. I guess there is something wrong with it or I understand it incorrectly.
That's my activity from the profile.
@deep trellis plz, streaks are buggy as hell
@trim rapids
146 in one day? jesus
huh
