Got a question about streaks, is it proper channel to ask?
@keen geode they're broken. They're being fixed. Does that answer your questions?
@eager fulcrum ok thanks indeed it does
Servers are not working well
hlo anyone pls help me ......i am starting my vpn machine in kali but is continously saying authentication failed am not able to deloy any machine in my kali
switch servers and regenerate the vpn file
hi all i don't know if it's correct or not, but I've finished the OSCP Path and the Subscription still remain open, like I'm missing something (but I'm at 100%). I've to leave the path to start Others.
you can leave this path and start another one
I know but I'd like to see some kind of badge
btw it's ok if it's normal. I'll give a feedback π
!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>
Hello! I have an issue!
I am using a kali machine on vbox and trying to connect to try hack me...it says that i have been connected in the terminal but in the access page of tryhack me it says that i am not connected
Or when I tried to use gobuster or try opening the http://<ip> its not working
Don't trust the access page.
Update: it worked...idk how or what I just restarted the open vpn and it was successful π°
The machines need time to boot properly.
Yeah...ig
can someone give a one phrase explanation of rpcbind please?
read through the man, still don't understand what it does
Wrong chat.
sorry
hello
I accidentally logged out the kali linux machine. How am I going to log in again? My username and password won't work. π¦
When I connect with OpenVPN to THM, OpenVPN sais I'm connected while THM sais I am not....
Am I connected??
@loud wasp Terminate and redeploy
@eager fulcrum Have tried that but login still prompting.
Thx
Do it again then
@eager fulcrum No luck.. Doing it for like 5 times already.
@deep trellis
@leaden token i have regenerated it but still doesnt working
Hi guys, trying to access a machine but except OpenVPN room which gives me flag{connected_successfully} any other machine just not connecting even after several minutes
You can't open the IP address in your browser unless it's running a web server on port 80
forgive me in advance but I'm a beginner, so to run from port 80 I'll just use the http no?
@deep trellis
@eager fulcrum Scaling Guacamole and fixing bug as we speak.
@loud wasp
@tawny hare What do you mean?
You can't access a web server on a device that isn't running a webserver
Most rooms DO NOT have browser access.
I was trying the blue room and after i connected and tried to background the process with shell_meterpreter and then tried to connect the system said there was already a job running and after i restarted the room and tried to connect it again I receive this
actually setting ForceExploit to true helped
So
Why does this happen?
Metasploit is buggy.
can I not finish the tasks without having meterpreter running?
IIRC it's the shell or meterpreter payloads that are buggy
Any thoughts how to fix them?
Try different payloads
Okay
I am using exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue can I use exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue_win8 or the windows version is lower than win8?
Okay
I am new to this so not sure how to do everything
Sorry about that
@eager fulcrum Sorry to tag you but am I able to use a reverse_tcp for this room or not?
There's different reverse TCP payloads
Metasploit is bleeding edge software often, it has bugs
there's also meterpreter_reverse_tcp IIRC
Okay I will see which works
It is kinda weird that I have to set the ForceExploit to true
True
RIP lemme try the other payload
actually no it reconnected and now I am in meterpreter
Eternal blue is unreliable as well
And I am good to go
All i need to do now is to find the flags
Yeah it is not really working
Wooo metasploit
Worth a try
It will be my second but better than nothing I guess
Windows kinda suck to hack into ngl
Yeah true
it's just harder to learn because windows is weird
Who knows.
Censoring an ephemeral local IP address
OK
if I'm on the east coast, should I be connecting to eu to US west?
if I'm on the east coast, should I be connecting to eu to US west?
@pale palm I am on US East Coast and connect to the US West server, just FYI. I haven't experienced any performance issues.
alright
Connect to the VPN
Ty
Because that's the wrong flag
man ls @digital yarrow
This is not a tech support issue
any help regarding this openvpn error:TLS Error: local/remote TLS keys are out of sync: [AF_INET]
@brave sky I told you to reconnect, try that first
i tried
And?
got same error
Regenerate your config.
i did
again same prob
Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed
plus this error
but now its showing not connected on the access page
Ignore the access page.
nope im not able to connect with the box
Show your openvpn terminal window
its normal
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>
after the kill process its still showing the openvpn processes
You need to provide screenshots when you say things like that
We can't help you if we can't see what's going on
after killing the process
sudo killall openvpn
reboot, you broke it
!vpn
Give it a try, don't just ask
Make sure you're actually running the vpn
Use one of your terminal tabs for it, don't background it
You're connected
As I said, don't trust the access page
Boxes don't all have webservers
And many aren't on port 80
this website was on 80
not it got opened
i guess there is some issue with the box cause i deployed it 20min ago and tried to access it wasnt opening and on the 4th try it opened
Unlikely.
anyways thanks
Anthem and http://10.10.219.28/
ah ok
I am having a problem getting mrrobot's webserver to respond in the browser. curl works, eventually, but the browser will not.
Tried changing from VIP to regular, and back. Terminating the box, re-deploying it each time.
Got burp running?
No
Rebooting Kali had no effect either
worth noting, it loads fine in the web browser VM y'all make available.
Sounds like a local issue then
Try a different browser
Either that or a VPN issue
I've tried on chromium and firefox, kali 2020 and 2019 live images
pings are at ~120ms to the box itself over VPN
East coast US
West coast VPN server?
Tried that one, regular and VIP EU
VIP EU was lower, WEST US regular was like 220ms
Open VPN doesnt work, what do I do?
@warm verge Give us a hell of a lot more information than "doesn't work"
When you want to disconnect, control C in that terminal
@nimble trail What'dya break?
well
@warm verge DO NOT trust that page.
I tried tun-mtu 1300 and that got me curl to work
so i tweaked it down to 1200
and now im good
The only working test for the VPN is if you can access resources on it @warm verge
ok
@nimble trail The MTU issues are being fixed this week by Ashu
okay, no worries. anyone else in the same boat might try the same thing in the meantime.
π
@radiant willow Are you in Egypt?
no I'm east coast
Ok, check your system time
is anyone having issues with openvpn and getting this error??
2020 Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed
So I was having some issues with a room and decided to terminate the box and re-deploy.
After re-deploying I have made sure the box is online. Whenever I enter the box IP Address it just shows a burp suite page saying βErrorβ
βFailed to connect to 10.0.0.0β
That happens, and is not an error @sharp bear
@bronze vale 10.0.0.0 is not a box IP address.
No I was replacing the IP address
i cannot connect completely to the room @eager fulcrum
I restarted burp and it woks now, no worries thanks though
@sharp bear Ok, but that's unrelated to the error message you posted.
!mutlivpn @sharp bear
!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>
I don't think my system time is wrong, what else should I do?
Regenerate your config
Hi
I would like to change username of my account in try hack me
@quaint burrow Feature is coming soon.
Thanks for the quick update @eager fulcrum
I am on a kali vm and when I try to connect to tryhackme with openvpn I get the message "Initialization Sequence Completed" however when I check the access page on tryhackme it says that I am not connected to it. Does anyone know why?
@wide forge The access page is unreliable
The only valid check is accessing resources over the VPN
!vpn
okay thanks
If the VPN is connected, then why can't I use the Nmap on the IP Address that is deployed?
@midnight fossil What room?
Advent of Cyber
Windows machines don't respond to pings by default so nmap will fail at the ping scan
What day/task?
What do you mean by you can't use nmap on it?
All 1000 scanned ports on 10.10.53.97 are close
I have tried to 65535 but didnt work so I tried on only 1000 at first
Then your VPN isn't working.
Last line at the vpn is Tue May 26 21:40:45 2020 Initialization Sequence Completed
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>
Anyone having slow connection issues? I am on Alfred and one minute things will be fine then the next I am getting connection timeouts to the VM
@wet cosmos Multivpn probably, follow those instructions
I have followed the steps and still not working...
Ok. Thanks. Where are those instructions located
@wet cosmos Here, in the message from the box
OK. I see it now. IT was a little to obvious
I have tried restarting the laptop and still not working, what should I do
You're connected
Then why can't I use the nmap?
Because you're doing something wrong.
How long have you given it to boot?
Terminate and redeploy.
Bit of a n00b here, I am doing the Agent-Sudo box and I am trying to extract a .png with binwalk, but whenever I go to use zip2john or any other program with the file, it treats it like it doesn't exist?
ls
@eager fulcrum
You're misreading it
zip.hash is empty
Haha FML
@eager fulcrum I've tried to terminate and redeploy, but still not working
10.10.8.99
Did you terminate it?
It's down according to my VPN
You didn't give it enough time to boot then
Idk but now it's working, that's all that metter π
Howdy, I am having problems Connecting with OpenVPN, it keeps getting stuck at connecting.
when using nmap built into metasploit, how do I clear the 'memory' of metasploit when I use hosts
Hey, i can't connect to my vpn anymore, i'm the right place ?
Same....what vpn are you using 150k?
Hey, I've just done https://tryhackme.com/room/jurassicpark but ithe graph appears to show me as not finished, and I seem to be lacking some points... but all answers are complete. Have I done something wrong, or is there a bug on the site?
Questions that don't require an answer used to award points
Oh.. thanks @eager fulcrum Annoying it isn't consistent, but guess it makes sense.
Skidy needs to do another point recalculation
The graph makes it look like I gave up towards the end π
nfs-common
Thank you
hey is there any way for me to get the student discount
it doesnβt seem to be working for me
@eager fulcrum tysm
hey a noob here. Trying to do vulnversity room and I am having trouble with the php reverse shell.
Hey just wondering why its saying that the in browser kali is going to take 14000 seconds to deploy this seems a bit off to me?
@vapid dawn was fixing that one:) (did you update that line using MomentJS?)
In my to-do for the next 1-2 weeks :))
Awesome
i can't get my vpn working. i'm on arch linux, openvpn version 2.4.9, and i'm using sudo, and when I run it there's a whole bunch of output ending with Initialization Sequence Completed, but the Access page on TryHackMe still doesn't show that I'm connected even after refreshing.
hmm guess what I can't do
He says, before realising that pinging 10.10.0.1 actually does nothing
Ignore that...
Screenshot ps aux | grep openvpn

oh I didn't mention but I went thru the steps of re-generating my config file
yep
What's the IP on it?
@flat cypress ps -ef | grep openvpn | kill -9 $(awk '{print $2}') I find that when in doubt it's a good idea to run this anyway
Sheesh, Pars, I said HELP
Even with a tun0 ip restarting things can help
Let's not do that yet...
I am now sod off to bed @barren birch
Also, sudo killall openvpn Pars, don't overcomplicate π
Or ping yourself
That's just funny
My patented kill command can't fail
yeah i've done that already
p sure the ip for tun0 is 10.8.40.211/16
The access page doesn't work
It's incredibly untrustworthy
Ok, try ping 10.8.0.1
Just go do a machine
If that gets a response, you're good
Then you're fine
Now run along and do some boxes friend!
appreciate it
Hey mods, I accidently submitted a room for public access. Please decline it, I'd like to keep it private.
Great, thanks! I'm using that for a class.
You're welcome, and I hope it comes in handy. Nice to know it's getting used -- I spent a lot of time on that π
Thanks @barren birch , you did a good job!
another qq, is there a way to link to a private room or do users need to join via My Rooms > "Room Code..." > click "Enter room"?
Linking to the URL give the users an error that the room is private
I can't get guacamole to connect to a Kali box to save my life. I have terminated the instance twice thus far and I keep getting a connection error in browser π©
Error message:
The connection has been closed because the server is taking too long to respond. This is usually caused by network problems, such as a spotty wireless signal, or slow network speeds. Please check your network connection and try again or contact your system administrator.
Hmm, anyone having any issues with boxes not booting? been waiting 15 minutes for one to come up
help...this box keeps dying
anyone have problems connect Athem?
@fathom citrus /jr/RoomCodeGoesHere
Hii I have connected to the VPN but the access page is not giving me the internal IP address. I have tried refreshing the page as well as the table.
Thanks NinjaJc01
I am trying to connect to OpenVPN but for some reason it says that the connection failed. I downloaded the config file. Idk what to do
this shows up. I'll show you my files now
I imported the file I downloaded and put into the config folder in the Program Files path
Check the pins @frail scaffold
alright
I found the issue. Thanks for helping
. I'll try to solve the rest myself
It worked! Thanks!
Hi everyone. Not sure if this is the right channel for it but... Anybody with some (good) knowledge of Virtualbox and Kali? I cannot create more than 1 Virtual Screen, keep getting a rc=VERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED error all the time and can't figure out how to solve it.
OVH?
Don't trust the access page
What are you connecting from?
using the terminal or a gui for openvpn?
Show your logs/status output
The access page is unreliable
I can't see your screen, I also don't use a mac
It didn't show to me that I was connected but then I just pinged the server and it worked fine.
Meaning I was connected actually...
Then you're connected
I'm not official support
Find out yourself
Remember it uses split tunelling
Your internet traffic still goes via your own router same as before
Traffic to THM goes over the VPN
Accessing google etc doesn't go through the VPN
If you talk to a machine on tryhackme, that goes through the VPN
This isn't a privacy VPN, it's a remote access VPN
What do you mean?
Your connection to tryhackme is over the VPN. It's encrypted
anything that isn't a 10.x.x.x IP address will go via the internet as normal
Anything that is 10.x.x.x goes over the VPN
Google it
how to setup kali virtual machine osx
Learn how to google
We don't do that for you.
If you don't want to run it yourself, tryhackme can run it for you if you're a subscriber
Your options are
Run it yourself
Let THM run it and pay $10/mo for it + more benefits
Install tools on macos and risk breaking stuff
I recommend the first option
There's no answer to that
It uses as much as you let it
I recommend following the rules, mainly rule 13
Do your own research
Like 90% of hacking is knowing how to find information
10% is understanding and applying
is it normal to need to re-download the vpn config file every single time i use it?
No.
cause for me after i log out of my computer (a virtual machine) and boot it up the next day the vpn seems to be connected but then the network information shows otherwise
How are you connecting to the VPN?
Terminal in kali?
Control C to disconnect before you turn it off.
Im having trouble with my openvpn in kali
done with installation of openvpn with sudo apt-get openvpn
done with sudo openvpn "filename.ovpn"
still shows X on the vpn access
@slender wagon Don't trust the access page
any other way to check if im connected?
!vpn
If you can complete the challenge at the end, you're connected
@naive dust You're asking a question that isn't related to THM. I can choose whether to help or not, and I'm choosing not to help as it's not what the channel is meant for.
bruh
@naive dust Mods aren't paid.
we could tell you every single button to press and what commands to type in, but you're not going to learn anything that way
We help out of the kindness of our hearts
You went into the live cd
This chat isn't for help installing ubuntu in a VM
Google that. Follow a guide.
Good
Learn to research
It's not THM related. I recommend you don't argue with mods over this.
LMAO they got banned
yikes
anyone else is having weird time with thm today?
@deep trellis @eager fulcrum the Learn Linux room still does not show as complete for me even though everything is done 100%
check for added questions
I have tried leaving and rejoining as suggested and I have gone through the tasks again making sure that the buttons were pressed for sure; still nothing
Hey everyone
the openvpn file just work with terminal?
the "save button" is disabled if i try to import vpn connection
roger that
Hi, I have a question about Linux, Can I ask it here ?
there is a freeze problem after fresh installiaton
VPN and other technical questions related to TryHackMe we can't promise you an answer.
@eager fulcrum sorry for the late respponse i had a work meeting
im using popos (based on ubuntu and debian)
*ubuntu
and yes i did ^C before turning it off
Weird
*ubuntu
@eager fulcrum
sry wdym here
But popos is ubuntu based
indeed
I recommend using a kali vm instead of popos
Or on top of PopOS
some of the tools are annoying to install
oh ok
ya ill try that
do you think that will fix the problem
is kali based on ubuntu or directly based on deb
or smtg else
Kali is debian unstable
But your problem is weird
My recommendation is purely based on ease of tools
Newer kernel
will it be unstable tho like a lot of crashes
Make sure the VPN is actually disconnected?
make sure you're not sharing your account with anyone?
i think its disconnecting
im not sharing the machine with anyone. it is a vm and its sole purpose in life is to do coding and hacking stuff so strange
also i dont want to route my entire mac's traffic through the vpn
You don't
is the windows version more stable maybe or just try kali and go from there?
You should run the VPN on the instance you're attacking from
yes
So if you're using a kali vm, VPN on that
yah but do you think i should set up a macos or windows vm. will open vpn be more stable using the gui interface?
No
ok then ill try kali and get back to u if its still not working
if anyone faced a covm ransomeware attack...what will be the steps to solve it?
This chat is for technical questions related to tryhackme @glass venture
can i talk about it with you in inbox? @eager fulcrum
@glass venture No.
ok
@glass venture I recommend doing some research on ransomware remediation. This isn't the place for it
ok..Thank you. @eager fulcrum
i have another problem now:
my browser crashed. how do i kill the perviously deployed machine
Open tryhackme
Go to the room page
Click terminate
You don't have to terminate, you can just reconnect
ah ok tysm sorry for being a burden. im new to ctf and hack stuff π
Long as you provide enough information for us to help, you're not being a burden
Hi, is there any way to pay for the tryhackme subscription through VISA, and not through the website's own method?
Anyone have suggestions on fixing connection time outs? I've been doing vulnversity and it's been going smooth up until I try to run the reverse shell. It just loads until I get a connection time out (110) error.
@prisma sparrow Payments are taken using Paypal (through Paypal) or card (through Stripe).
Are you meaning you want to pay by card?
@tiny pelican Are you using a VM? If so, where's your VPN?
Tried on vm and on windows using wsl2. Using openvpn for both.
WSL2 is a VM by the way
Right, just not fully functional. I heard it went up for preview so I wanted to try it out.
Definitely better just using a traditional VM if you want things working right off the bat -- or, more likely to work, at any rate
I was hoping they gave more network control with the new release.
Either way, if the VPN is on Windows, and the listener is on the VM, that isn't going to work
I'm trying to connect to the openvpn server and it says im connected allthough the site says im not
@fresh path Ignore the access page on the site
Lol
I see, so i can probably still connect?
!vpn test it in this room
Probably. What OS are you using?
Last task
Then yeah -- try that room ^^
π
@fresh path Try not to show flags
It's the easiest flag on THM
Don't want people to skip it
Matter of principle really
I cant connect OpenVPN "TLS handshake failed"
Ok, check the pins
which pins
In this channel.
oh ok
im having some trouble with using smb to find a user name.

For Corp, I'm on the last part, I use xfreerdp from my kali box to rdp into the machine xfreerdp /u:'corp\administrator' /v:3.250.150.107 however it's prompting me to change the password since it's expired
When i try to connect to OpenVPN it says all my windows TAP adapters are in use
Can anyone help?
(sorry, misread;moving)
What do you mean Ninja?
Ok sorry, kinda new.
Soonβ’οΈ
I don't have an ETA
But THM has it planned
Just try the EU VIP and the US East Coast and see which is better for you really
Hi, sorry me again. I tried to look this up and find an answer but i cant find one. Whenever i click deploy for my machine nothing happens (i let it sit for almost 20 minutes) and, when i click the link that doesnt take me anywhere (ik the link is supposed to be used on the machine i was jus desperate to try and make it work)
And yes i am connected to the OpenVPN
@tender dome You should get an active machine info thing in a red border near the top of the page
That gives you the IP address of the VM you deployed.
So how would i connect to the VM? Should i RAD into it?
What room?
You will either have to hack your way in, or you're told how to connect
OpenVPN room
Ive deployed the machine and nothing happened besides the active machine info box
@tender dome Are you talking about task6 for OpenVPN?
Yeah
Just open the IP in a new browser tab, it should show you a webpage
I tried that but it keeps saying "Hmmm...can't reach this page"
Then your VPN isn't working
Im intrested in having my tryhackme account deleted
It's, what?
- Please don't use that word to try and say something's bad. That's not appropriate.
- You could ask for some support if you want.
- email support@tryhackme.com for account deletions
Sorry, and thanks
I keep having issues when trying to scan VM kali@kali:~$ nmap -sV 10.10.156.22
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-05-27 22:33 EDT

yes vpn is running and working
@bold hull some of them don't allow pings\
This one does.
this is the first one
oh?
i have the kali VM set to nat and the VPN connected with no issues
Then either the VM isn't booted or you're not connected properly
How long has it had to boot?
hmm not sure actually, i just terminated it and created a new one to see if that fixes it
how long should i give the VM?
5mins?
ok
even after 5 its still not working
adding the -Pn command just seemed to have made nmap stall
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>
but i followed the setup guide for windows and it connects with no issue
Does anyone know a way to use nmap that isn't painfully slow?
@bold hull Connect from kali and only kali
@naive dust It shouldn't be painfully slow
ah thats why, gay
The way I am doing it it starts a "service scan" and it almost hangs all the time
@bold hull Please don't be homophobic here
im gay so im not being homophobic
it either hangs on NSE scan or Service scan...
then what else am i ment to say when i cant sware? its apart of my vocab being Australian
@bold hull I don't make the rules, if you have an issue with them you can take that up with Darkstar or MuirlandOracle
im just saying
then what else am i ment to say when i cant sware? its apart of my vocab being Australian
@bold hull this, im listerally jsut saying this being honest
This isn't something that's up for debate.
i know, im just saying that and leaving it there
I cant seem to find out what -n does\
using it the output is the same, not sure if that is normal
are you connected to the vpn
First off don't background the VPN session, you need the verbose logging to detect any issues
and second, make sure you're not victim to the multivpn issue
When i try to access the webserver for vulnraversity it always errors with An error occurred during a connection to 10.10.67.111:3333. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
Many activities require to use Linux but I have Windows. There isn't a Windows substitute though.
install linux in a virtual box
Ok. Thanks

@bold hull anyone have any idea?
@bold hull Did you change the openvpn config file? If not change servers and regenerate config file.
Hey can someone help me? I'm trying to access my machine with ssh, but the connection times out...
Then try changing it and regenerating config file.
ok
@gaunt mesa Your going to have to provide more details.
I just started to learn from basics in Learn Linux room and the Task 4 is to connect to my active machine with ssh, but I can't because it throws me the connection timed out error everywhere (putty and cmd)
I used the trial shiba1 username with the given ip, but I tried with my username too and it's the same error
okay I found out I need to connect vpn first but the vpn connection fails too π
Hello! Can i have some help?

Noice
Hi there, I am kinda stuck on [Task 4] [Section 1: SSH] - Putty and ssh. I have tried to do this command using both putty and just regular CMD and once I get to this step I can't actually type the password in, or type anything for that matter of fact :c
thnx :3
The error says Permission denied. Also, why would you want to connect on your phone?
@naive dust unless that's rooted, there's no way it will work..
Don't ask why when it involves Elf
Hello Guys, hope everyone is doing ok! One question. Is it possible for me to re-take a room from the ground up. "Reset my progress" so to speak?
That feature is coming soon.
Ah ok, thanks! π
Okay yeah sorry, you'll have to wait for the feature to come out
Hopefully it will come out next week
Alright, no problem! Thanks for the help π
@deep trellis because my brother took my pc and i want to play room π just got reminded i have ssh so just gonna use kali machine π€ͺ
Noo i cant i still need openvpn
πππ
@naive dust use the openvpn app to connect and then use the termux to do things
Oooo
When I try to connect to the tryhackme network via openvpn i get an error saying:
TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)
Error: TLS handshake failed"
i am on windows and have added openvpn.exe to my firewall exceptions
having a bit of an issue with getting access connection, Openvpn "Initialization Sequence Completed" but still getting that big red X in the connected part. any advice would be great.I have tried regenerate a number of times
@gray flint the access page can be buggy, don't rely on it
@celest sapphire can you recommend another way to confirm its connected correctly?
my openvpn log
@gray flint the Initialization Sequence Completed should be enough, you could also check by trying to connect to a deployed machine or smth
@crystal grove Not sure what could be the issue on windows, do you have a linux vm you plan to use with thm?
@celest sapphire Thanks man, ill check it out
i have tried setting up a arch vm with oracle virtual box but i had no success π¦
do you have any prior linux experience?
arch isn't the best choice if you're not pretty well experienced
a ubuntu/kali vm would be good for tryhackme
i have previously installed multiple linux distributions on pc but switched back to windows for gaming
which vm service would you recommend for a kali installation?
virtualbox should be fine
okay thank you
Hi can you help me
don't ask to ask, just ask your question :)
termux? the wpscan version in repos is probably old and uses an older version of ruby
Okay thanks highly appreciated
So I'm using VMWare Workstation Player and I have gave my Kali Linux Virtual Machine 4 gigs of ram (4096 excact) and also my cpu is Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz and my Kali Linux just keeps on crashing and I don't know why and also I gave the Virtual Machine 60GB of storage so that shouldn't be the problem.
My CPU has 6 cores and I gave the Kali Machine 4 cores but there is three options and I need help to see which one I need because I don't wanna mess something up.
yes
i used the 64-bit installer
Roger. Is that the iso image?
yes
.iso
Copy
Then I assume you ran the iso, and it prompted you to install kali. That is after setting up the vm settings (ram etc)
And following the prompts you managed to install kali... Is that basically the gist of what unfolded?
"gist of unfolded"?
I installed kali on the virtual machine and then afterwards i went up to settings
So kali has been installed. You should be able to then power on the vm and start using it (log in etc)
What happens that prevents you from using kali now?
@naive dust
Follow the instructions at the link above. This method has you download the kali vmware image. This is simple to run and you should start here.
Good luck
Hey guys, I'm in learn linux Task 4 where it tells you to use putty
I have been unsuccessful in trying to connect
I keep getting an error which is (no supported authentication methods available (server sent publickey)
Are you using the IP address of the instance that you deploy?
Moreover, are you using the right credentials? They are detailed in the room (:
Yeah I am
The user would be my username correct? and then the IP is what I currently have up from vpn
Nope
You need to deploy the instance using the "Deploy" button, a card with the title, IP address and expiry timer will show
That is the IP you need to use
The username and password is detailed in the task
Task 4 specifically (:
Oh yeah that is the IP address I am using the one with the Timer
I enter the machine IP and I get login as
unsure who I'm supposed to login as though
I cant connect to the OpenVPN. Ive tried reinstalling it but it wont connect
@zealous yoke The user name is not working
Then you're doing something wrong
Saying "not working" is really vague and doesn't help us identify what you're doing wrong
i did many things tbh
i have no directory cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
I might be dumb but openvpn doesnt let me connect for some reason. I ran the command with my config file and
@modest crane Ignore the access page
oh so the access page is broken?
im not the only nice
!vpn
on my kali machine it demand log and pass
Huh?
Terminate and redeploy
we love guacamole
It's being fixed
ok just checked and openvpn doesnt seem to work...
That's VERY vague
hello guys
If you can access stuff over the VPN, you're connected
i habe a big problem with openvpn when i start it seams in terminal that is is connected but on site is no
Ignore the access page on the site.
Hello, i'm trying to solve a problem with my account, and i've been sending e-mails to support@tryhackme.com and hello@tryhackme.com since last sunday, a guy named ben replied to me once, but now i've sent 4 more e-mails and nobody answer me, any clue how to proceed here and get a propper support?
What are you looking for support with?
I lost track of the account i've registered, i simply can't recall the name of the email account i was using, the problem is i have already paid for premium subscription. otherwise i would have creted a different account already
@cunning snow Check your password history, browsers tend to save passwords and usernames
That sounds like something very difficult to prove, and something that would NEED to be handled via email.
^^
^^
thanks for that, i've already tried
You're not going to get help here
There are two people going through a lot of emails π
They will get back to you
It's something the admins would need to sort.
yeah, no problem for me to deal vie e-mail, the issue is, NOBODY ANSWER MY E-MAILS
sorry for the caps,
Calm down.
well, anyways i dont get any response since monday
thats why im trying here, any chance you have a more specific channel to communicate this type of issue
No.
@cunning snow I would suggest waiting for Skidy (Ben) or Ashu to get back to your email. They'll require proof that the account is yours, if they're willing to open it back up. I think they're most likely to cancel the payment, letting you resubscribe with another account π
As it's an issue that has to be dealt with by the admins, there is nothing we can do here.
As it is we can't do much here though -- only the admins have access to the site itself π
Sorry about that
As I said -- they will get back to you; there are just lots of emails to get through π
ok, sure, thanks!

@eager fulcrum ok π
@naive dust You may be able to get some additional support etc from tryhackme as a university.
Email education@tryhackme.com
ok let me write them, thanks again.
any idea what could this be ?
is discover card not accepted for sub?
@digital yarrow if I read correctly it looks like your keyboard is unkown and it fails on that?
rather weird
That's a warning
never ever had this issue
Not an error
Don't install that then
anything i do i get that package manager error
cant repairs files
cant install packages nothing
That's a warning
@eager fulcrum is it though? as I read it the cryptsetup is the warning...
@hushed oxide It's a VM thing
i've downloaded kali linuz 64 bit version on my bootable usb. Everyhting works fine. However i'm logged into the kali user. which isn't a sudoer. i tried to log into root but the password doesn't seem ti be correct(toor) and i can't seem to find a possible user that could be made by me.
@hushed oxide It's a VM thing
@eager fulcrum would make sense, yeah
@simple beacon sudo su
Wait
Yeah you broke something if you don't have sudo as kali
Just use a VM

@simple beacon could it bekali:kalias I remember correctly it used to be kali kali on older kali systems
What are you trying to acheive?
i'm trying to get a gui because i'm onl CLI now
But i am logged into kali which i don't want because it isn't a sudoer
@hushed oxide
@digital yarrow reinstall
Install a desktop manager in the installer
One is seleected by default
you mean reinstall the whole machine ?
But i am logged into kali which i don't want because it isn't a sudoer
@simple beacon yeah.. that doesn't make sense.. so the pw for kali isn't kali? π like it used to be?
nope it isn't
try a reinstall.. this isn't right
kali/kali
@simple beacon read this... https://www.kali.org/news/kali-default-non-root-user/ if it doesn't work like described you have a borked installation/live cd/torrent/usb/vagrant/docker/whatever.. try a reinstall
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this so forgive me if its not, but what happened to the US-VIP servers for vpn config files? I know they used to be there but now there is only the EU-VIP option. I know the site has exploded with new people over the last month and could have something to do with it but any ideas?
There was never a US VIP server @naive dust
I could've swore there was, but maybe I was thinking something else. You know if there will ever be one in the future?
There are plans to add one soon
There was a "VIP server" that wasn't marked with a region
That was the EU VIP
Thanks for clarifying @eager fulcrum! This site has been a huge help in learning new material and appreciate what you all do
@hushed oxide ok i will try and reinstall it. thank you !
are you downloading the ISO?
weird.. I'm a bit out of ideas.. have you tried another medium? like... not the live cd? maybe they broke it?
try to follow this guide https://geekviews.tech/how-to-install-kali-linux-on-virtualbox/
it's good
are you connected to VPN?
yes
can anyone help me with burp? i followed the instructions in the room but now when i search for something it just loads endlessly
@ivory dagger you need to forward the requests if you have intercept on
Ah, thank you didnt realise it was turned on lmao
@hushed oxide Maybe some kali linux data has been saved. Could that be? if so i should delete all the data
I guess you angered the kali gods @simple beacon .....
have you tried something else than the livecd like a vm or docker/vagrant?
May I toss the Offensive Security Kali VM images into the ring ? (:
I'm hoping Opus will pick a VM yes π
Yeah i download a VM. but Like the letter V looks like a bird mouth
dude... I want what you're having.....
