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.
@karmic raven Yes, this means you answered 24 hours after your last question.
I'm going to add an 'Answer before' tag so people know how long they have left until they need to re-answer
@karmic raven Whats your THM username?

@severe hound yeah.. at least wait 5 minutes..
thorn badger
@karmic raven I am facing same issue as yours. And I think i did the chall within 24 hours

@karmic raven & @thorn badger maybe share it in #site-bugs ?

@hushed oxide I was probably over 24h as Skidy said. Not sure.

Why do reverse shells typically break the backspace key?
eager fulcrum
They don't for me.
trim rapids
For me backspaces are always replaced with special characters
like
> ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "cat /root/root.txt > /to^?^?
grave leaf
It happens sometimes to me as well.
trim rapids
Just a question, what keyboard layout are the deployed machines set to?
eager fulcrum
Shouldn't matter for SSH or rev shells
trim rapids
Suppose that's true

windows RDP ones have the uk layout i think

Hello
I am having a problem downloading a file from this room https://tryhackme.com/room/bpvolatility
in the section Examining Our Patient when pressing the download button it redirects me to https://tryhackme.com/deploy with 403 (CSRF Attempt...)
could anyone help me with this issue? thanks in advance

I'm having this same issue every time I try to download a file from this room -Task 21 https://tryhackme.com/room/25daysofchristmas
It redirects me to this page https://tryhackme.com/deploy With the message 403 - Cross Site Request Forgery Attempt..
eager fulcrum
@deep trellis Seems to have broken some stuff?

Interesting behavior in the ccstego room. When I go to download the files for the room I get redirected to "CSRF request detected". Apparently as I was writing this the problem went away, but I thought I'd ask anyway just to learn or report a possible bug.
eager fulcrum
Yeah file downloads seem broken
@vapid dawn I tagged skidy but I think he's busy
The CSRF changes seem to have broken file downloads
@oblique hare@astral parcel@pearl grove should be fixed

Hey, I need a little help with [task21] binary - shiba2 on Linux Walkthough
I am supposed to run shiba2 (binary) but its owned by root?
leaden token
@lost sapphire you don't need to run it as sudo
barren birch
@lost sapphire you have execute permissions for it already
leaden token
yup
lost sapphire
I still can't run though
leaden token
also make sure you are in the same directory as the file
barren birch
That isn't the problem here
The problem is that it's missing SUID
@lost sapphire did you try changing the file permissions on that by any mischance?
lost sapphire
no?
barren birch
That would explain why it's trying to execute itself 😁
That. Was very confusing 😆
Try redeploying the box

toxic scaffold
Ok. I have installed openVPN and I put the IP of my vm into the browser but it just returns with a page not responding.
I am connected to OpenVPN
eager fulcrum
You can't assume you can open the IP in your browser.
eager fulcrum
To what?
toxic scaffold
My vm instance.
eager fulcrum
Which?
toxic scaffold
Im on linux task 1 and im trying to connect to the machine that was created after I clicked "deploy"
toxic scaffold
I am but I clicked the thing to open the openvpn room because I didnt know how to connect
eager fulcrum
The VM for the OpenVPN room is separate.
toxic scaffold
So to connect to the linux vm I cant do http//Machine_ip
eager fulcrum
No.
toxic scaffold
oh
eager fulcrum
Keep reading the material
toxic scaffold
nvm I found out what I had to do. Thanks for ur help.
I though it was telling me to connect to the vm lol
eager fulcrum
Also, try and be more specific, "the linux VM" describes 90% of the site's VMs
eager fulcrum
@toxic scaffold it's worth noting. You're very rarely given access or credentials to the box. You normally need to hack your way in. That's the challenge
toxic scaffold

Make a kali VM
trim rapids
kinda hypocritical from me, but tbf im using the subscriber kali machine
eager fulcrum
If you're attacking from a VM, run the VPN on the VM not the host
wary cosmos
Yeah i could try that
trim rapids
I recommend getting the subscription so you can just ssh into a kali machine

hi is it possible that cc pen testing task 10 could be broken? The exploit/multi/http/nostromo_code_exec doesnt work
eager fulcrum
Is that the right exploit?
steep charm
yes
eager fulcrum
Normally it's an issue with your settings or your network
Run the VPN on the machine you're attacking from
LHOST is VPN IP
steep charm
No a friend of mine tested it and it doesnt work either
trim rapids
Did you remember to set the SRVHOST or LHOST to your IP?
eager fulcrum
And check your network
trim rapids
Verify you have the RPORT set right as well
eager fulcrum
SRVHOST AND LHOST need to be your VPN IP
And you need to be running the VPN on the machine you're attacking from
steep charm
nope doesnt work
trim rapids
So what's the error?
steep charm
red = my openvpn connection
trim rapids
Hm
trim rapids
Could be, verify the RHOST
steep charm
Rhost is right
steep charm
lol rip XD
It told me that it is already deployed so I terminated and now it worked, Thanks!

You were attacking the wrong VM from the room

@obtuse ridge what do you mean exactly? did you get charged twice or?

TY!!!!
I was battling with this for like the last 12 hrs
Deleted VM's, recreated
Tested, Deleted, lol, uninstall openvpn, re-install, eventually saw the config file was empty
wasted 12hrs

I need some help, when i run sudo openvpn .../Name.opvn the Sequence runs and completes, but when i got to access im not connected to the openvpn.
also i re downloaded my config file and still no connection

hey i am from india an i am having some problem with ovpn so i thing i should change my server so whats the better server for India
anyone help
feral raven
i think it would be AU-Regular-1
feral raven
cant you connect to the openvpn network, or whats the problem?
analog ginkgo
no its so slow
and sometimes it won't even connect
even 30 mins crossed but no connection
feral raven
try pinging different servers and choose the best one
analog ginkgo
ok
feral raven
No worries 🙂
@zealous yoke got the same problem and the killall openvpn isnt working

@leaden token did you check my message
feral raven
How do i kill one openvpn connection?
when i killall one still remains
but im not connected to the ovpn

@leaden token did you check my message
@obtuse ridge i am sorry, what message are you talking about?
feral raven
feral raven
yeah but im not connected
barren birch
See how the only one there is "grep openvpn"?
barren birch
That's not an openvpn process -- it's your grep process. In other words, because you're searching for the string "openvpn" the search finds itself
obtuse ridge
Its around 1 pound something
@obtuse ridge @leaden token
leaden token
did you send anything to support@tryhackme.com?
obtuse ridge
Yes
feral raven
That's not an openvpn process -- it's your grep process. In other words, because you're searching for the string "openvpn" the search finds itself
@barren birch okay but how do i fix it tho , also i tried to regenerate my config file
leaden token
so, just wait for now
i am not in charge of handling emails
so i can't really say the time it takes to answer
barren birch
In the second screenshot there are three. Again, one is your search. One is the actual openvpn process. The last is the sudo process.
There are three commands with "openvpn" in the name. Three programs running. But only one of them is actually openvpn
There is nothing to fix there. It's normal
feral raven
yeah okay but when i check tryhackme.com/access im not connected
feral raven
okay i deployed a server in a room and i can access it so the /access site is bugged for me
barren birch
Nah, it just takes a while to update
odd dust
Not really 'Tech Support' for a room but more this discord itself...
I never got a DM from @sharp bison when I joined the server and I'm not sure how to sync my progress so THM = Discord.
Any one have any suggestions on how I could get the sync working? 🙂
sharp bear
Just dm the bot with !Verify and your discord token from THM
odd dust
ahh dang, I tried !sync as a guess. Thanks I'll try that 🙂
Ahh, there we go 🙂
Thank you @sharp bear

Trying to regenerate a US VIP OVPN cert, but do not see it listed as an option. Is this normal? My sub is active.

Any one knows how to launch the machien for Tmux
Since there are no credentials given
Only we can do is deploy instance
Or is it self practice can be done on own kali machine in VM
eager fulcrum
@fringe void You weren't told to SSH into that machine
The VM is used later on, but you never access it.

You'll need to terminate the box and restart it.
eager fulcrum
@meager kiln So the likelyhood is it's your internet
The EU servers are in Ireland, you might want to try a different region
meager kiln
Like which one? I don't think any other server will resolve the issue since they farther
eager fulcrum
@last olive if you're still around, could you help out here?
meager kiln
I am using NAT networking. It's not a issue is it?
meager kiln
How do we do that ?
eager fulcrum
What are the first 2 groups in your VPN ip?
For me, I'd ping 10.8.0.1
I think you'd be 10.11.0.1 for EU VIP
eager fulcrum
Feels high
But I don't know for India
considering the KoTH VMs are deployed in the same AWS region as the EU VIP server, it shouldn't be 700ms

well...disagree with that, because I love OSINT and Pentesting, of course you have to know some backend but not that much comparing to WebDev, but it's just my oppinion, I'm a kiddie atm
eager fulcrum
Front end is XSS and that's it really

yea I like that as well

with an old thinkpad, DC, it's better to work at a USB live kali or it's fine to use the integrated kali?

that depends on your use case, not your specs, but you can see the minimum specs for a kali install on their page

shell geyser
Hello. Is anyone here to help me with some connectivity issues, I'm having with OpenVPN?
eager fulcrum
@shell geyser Just ask, don't ask to ask
shell geyser
Apologies, am new. When trying to connect via OpenVPN it's getting stuck on Initialization Sequence Complete.
It doesn't establish any connection though.
eager fulcrum
What are you expecting?
shell geyser
For the green tick on the access site, mostly. 🙂
eager fulcrum
Yeah, ignore the access page
@deep trellis Can you add fix/remove checkbox on access to your list?
shell geyser
Oh, sure about that? Has that been a known issue for some time?
eager fulcrum
The access checkbox has ALWAYS been unreliable
deep trellis
Can you add fix/remove checkbox on access to your list?
The user needs to have the right VPN server selected on the dropdown, if they're connected (as in our OpenVPN server has a connection between the user), it shows a green tick.
Why is it unreliable?
eager fulcrum
It doesn't update right
And won't always show the correct status
And gives a false confidence when people have multivpn
deep trellis
We could have an machine running on the network, if they're connected, it can attempt to load some resource (1x1 image), if its loaded, it shows the user as being connected?
eager fulcrum
That'd only work if you were connected from that device
shell geyser
The user needs to have the right VPN server selected on the dropdown, if they're connected (as in our OpenVPN server has a connection between the user), it shows a green tick.
If we're talking about choosing your VPN via location (US, EU etc.). I've tried every VPN config file.
deep trellis
That'd only work if you were connected from that device
@eager fulcrum It will work with any server, as they're on the same subnet atm.
eager fulcrum
Nope
That's not what I mean
If I'm connected from my kali VM, and I load /access on my host, it can't show connected
deep trellis
The THM Kali VM?
You must be connected through a VPN if its not the in-browser kali machine?
shell geyser
So is there any other way for me to verify that I'm connected? For my own security, as stated in the FAQ?
sharp bisonBOT
TryHackMe
deep trellis
All the 'Connected tick' does it see if you're username appears on the VPN servers 'connected' list. And it should if you're connected through the VPN, on a VM or your own host - or am I missing the point here?
eager fulcrum
I was talking about the 1x1 method
deep trellis
Ah right, ok.
eager fulcrum
But yeah the connected checkbox has always been dodgy
It's unreliable, and people push back when they have VPN issues because "access says it's connected"
deep trellis
I think it helps more than it doesn't mind? Through our support tickets, we get a lot of people using it (when they dont have 2 VPN's running).
I'm not sure how I would fix it, as its not in our control, the 'access' list is accessed through the OpenVPN..
eager fulcrum
I mean at least a disclaimer
deep trellis
Ya, I can do that.
shell geyser
So is there any other way for me to verify that I'm connected? For my own security, as stated in the FAQ?
eager fulcrum
@shell geyser I linked the VPN room
shell geyser
Would that be the http://MACHINE_IP part?
Other than that it's the same as in the Docs, is it not?
shell geyser
Alright, thank you very much.
obsidian shell
i'm trying to get out of the initialization now it wont clear. q isn't working or cd or anything
@woeful meadow
Just run sudo openvpn --config /path/to/config.ovpn --daemon
This will start a background process of OpenVPN and you don't need a new shell.
To stop the VPN connection when finished, run sudo killall openvpn
eager fulcrum
The best solution is to use a different terminal tab
You can then see if it disconnects easily
obsidian shell
Fair enough.
eager fulcrum
If you run it in the background, you risk people running multiple VPNs
obsidian shell
To me it's as simple as running ip addr and ps aux | grep -i openvpn
eager fulcrum
Which really breaks your VPN
obsidian shell
But, simple is the best solution, you're right about that.

Can someone help me ? I ran into some technical problem . So i wanted to connect to Openvpn via my virtual machine (kali linux) . I downloaded Openvpn and the config file but when ever i try to connect by typing "sudo openvpn /path/of/file.ovpn" I'm getting an error message saying the following-
"disabling NCP mode (--ncp-disable) because not in P2MP client or server mode
Options error: You must define TUN/TAP device (--dev)
Use --help for more information."
How do i fix this??
anyone??
eager fulcrum
Sounds like you're doing something wrong
Did you download the client or the server?
How did you download it?
Are you replacing /path/of/file.ovpn with a path to your config file?
gilded slate
client
yes of course im putting the right address
i googled a lot about this error but everyone keep saying that this is not a openvpn problem , its my system's fault

Kali has openvpn in the repos. I think installed by default even.

How did you install it?

sudo apt-get install openvpn
