Can I ask for support relating to linux and raspberry pi here?
sturdy wigeon
@burnt pollen ill try to give you a hand but no promises
burnt pollen
@sturdy wigeon hold my hand... Im trying to cope with loneliness.
sorry for offtopic.
rn at this very moment, I can't focus on learning..I just need to be social I think.
burnt pollen
when my anxiety (diagnosed anxiety disorder) is lower I can remember what I was wondering about.
Im just not used to linux altho Ive tried a few distros on my laptop.
my laptops flex cables(from ali) I am waiting for still. i suspected by my noob-repairing skills that it may not turn on with new flex cables.
which was the reason I got a pi as a temp pc for Arduino.
eager fulcrum
@shut jetty That's not a full hash, and this is the wrong place.
shut jetty
im really stuck on it, lets try a little more
burnt pollen
but I bought the original arduino kit im sweden also, I felt bad about canceling the order from ali due to me thinking I wss being hustled.
but then again Elegoo Arduino had good reviews on yt. also a ton more components and some very exciting ones as well.
also a second Uno means I can have two fun things and not have to disassemble the solo Uno
tbh lol, the cheap OTG-cable for my OnePlus 5t is the only thing Ive messed around with on my Arduino. Works like a charm... Im all over the place mentally heh
also that converts Uno into Dos;)
hacking sounds cool.. a grey hat friend of mine led me here.
I just don't know where to focus rn.
i just hope the shim fan I got for the pi 4 will be enough. Otherwise. I got a tooon of heatsinks and fans from other older computers.
well, that was basically super offtopic blog... sorry. im gonna play some FFVII Remake now..

@burnt pollen im not sure i understand your question. you should be able to start doing tryhackme rooms

Actually, it's all good. I was wondering why I couldn't get a connection to my VM from my laptop and turns out, when I imported the newer machine, it defaulted to NAT instead of bridged so my dhcp hadn't assigned it.
Im a dumb dumb. Thank you, though, @leaden token

Does anything happen if changing Debian to something else?
barren birch
@naive dust what do you mean?
naive dust
I mean in VirtualBox
Does it make any difference if I switch that "Debian (64-bit)" to something else
btw the image is not mine but im just wondering if anything would happen
barren birch
Oh, I shouldn't think so. Never actually tried, come to think of it
barren birch
All it does is give you a clean system to install an operating system on. Theoretically you could install any operating system on top of that.
I can't imagine changing that option will do anything, although, granted, I may be spectacularly wrong
Oh, it might mess up the additional tool stuff
lusty river
so just installed the thing
i don't know what's my freaking root password
the only password i entered was for the secondary user for none administrative work
naive dust
it's the same password
if your password is ** or whatever that is the same password for root
so lets your password is kali12345 then the root password is the same
but if you wanna change you can type in "passwd" and then the username so "passwd root" (make sure you are logged in as root to change root password) and then it will ask you to type in current password and then new and then retype new
lusty river
so i created a user called jeremy with password x
when i try to login to root with it it doesn't login
this means password is wrong or some other issue ?
zealous yoke
su root means that you're trying to login as root
lusty river
well i'm trying to login as root
zealous yoke
You're entering the password for jeremy expecting it to be the user root
lusty river
i don't know what's my root password they didnt prompt me to set it on login
lusty river
i removed that whole machine
now i have zues
reinstalled the whole thing hoping i'll get to set root password
now i restarted the machine
and i got this lol
and yes @zealous yoke it is in sudoers
lusty river
god why i keep running to the weirdest problems

You have 3 choices

You probably don't have the kernel module loaded for tun stuff
Your choices are:
Tunnel your traffic outside egpyt first.
Wait for TCP VPN.
Subscribe and use the subscriber kali.
Take it up with your government.

anyway thanks for the help james
eager fulcrum
Most countries don't block VPNs.
I recommend you check the legality of circumventing the VPN restrictions
I don't recommend breaking the law even if I personally think it's a dumb law
ruby mirage
@eager fulcrum there is no law makes me not to care about my privacy
@eager fulcrum but they don't care anyway
eager fulcrum
It may still be illegal to use a VPN.

@eager fulcrum it is not

There are Egyptian laws around it. Be careful. Stay safe and legal.

@eager fulcrum 10.2 is legit:)

Its a US or AU one

Sorry aha, it was Ashu who set it up my g
eager fulcrum
Also I think 10.2 is a bad idea
@vapid dawn 10.2.x.x is the default virtualbox NAT range
sturdy wigeon
so should i still regenerate the ovpn
deep trellis
Its really easy to change
eager fulcrum
Yeah that's fine
sturdy wigeon
so should i use a new ovpn file?

ya
here's some more information since we're talking abt the html

i searched this server and google but i don't see many other answers
i'm using my assigned ip and my tryhackme username as the user

10.17 isn't an IP that would be allocated
That's not the right username as well

ah i see what you mean with the name and how dumb that question was but it's still not working even after i put in the trial name

my machine ip is my assigned ip that openvpn is giving me isnt it?

thats probably it...

This means it will be much more stable.

@deep trellis it is still the same. I have tried with all the steps mentioned above
scenic mango
it works fine for me
deep trellis
I'd still rather use my own VM
@eager fulcrum Ohyeah for sure.

Cyber did you terminate the machines, log out, go to Preferences - Privacy and Security then clear “Cookies and Site Data” then go to History and select all in History then select Everything as the time range then Clear Now? I had the same problem as you and now mine is working

@deep trellis it is still the same. I have tried with all the steps mentioned above

It's nice to use from my phone or to SSH into though

@deep trellis yes it is the same

Doesnt work
I know ctrl c and v but it isn’t copying from the machine and entering into the answer box

Control shift c and control shift v

@naive dust if you have macos try:
control shift c --> to copy from machine
command v --> to paste the flags
if finnaly worked for me xP

Hello guys, I'm new here and facing some issue. If someone could help me, I'll really appreciate it.
I've Ubuntu and Kali running in virtual box. So when I run any exploit using msfconsole from the kali machine(which is inside virtual box) the lhosts is set to the ip of kali machine which doesn't actually work with tryhackme boxes. Let's assume kali has ip 175.25.26.27 and my machine internal ip is 10.10.1.2
So, the exploit only works if I set the lhosts to the internal ip of my machine
And if I use the internal ip in my kali box then I don't get a reverse shell on kali machine however if I start a nc listener on the Ubuntu machine when running the exploit I get a reverse shell on my Ubuntu
How do I get everything on my Kali machine? Am I doing something wrong
I know this is a long one but I couldn't find out on the web and wanted to be as clear as I can. Sorry if it's bugging anyone with the long one😅
subtle python
anyone have trouble connecting to Windows PrivEsc Arena as user instead of tcm? tcm logs in just fine but I need to be user in order to run these exploits.
I tried to change users by running runas /profile /user:TCM-PC\user cmd but it gave me a user account restriction
yesterday I tried to RDP in as user but it made me change the password, which was odd. Connection drops everytime I try to RDP as user, but TCM connects without issue
runas /user:user cmd also does not work using password321

In the OpenVPN room (the very first room), I can't complete it because the webserver won't serve me a page: "Forbidden
Rejected request from RFC1918 IP to public server address". Apparently this is something to do with my router's NAT, but shouldn't openvpn take care of it automatically?
Should have mentioned, this is attempting to connect to my public IP address through my browser to attempt to retrieve some information.
sharp bisonBOT
TryHackMe
eager fulcrum
@fickle crane why are you attempting to connect to your public address?
fickle crane
Isn't that what the question is asking me to do? Here it is, "Go to http://MACHINE_IP - can you see a website?" I'm assuming that's the machine's public IP address.
fickle crane
Doh! thank you very much.
eager fulcrum
Then you'll want to connect to that IP address
Think about it.
Why would tryhackme be able to influence what's running on your public IP?
That's your router.
fickle crane
Yeah, I didn't understand it either, but thought, hey, they know what they are doing. Pity I didn't. 😉

@naive dust the machine will turn off when the timer runs out.
Add 1 hour does what it sounds like
Adds an hour to that timer
Terminate the VM when you're finished with it.
eager fulcrum
Something you can't use because you're not subscribed
It allows you to run Kali on tryhackme rather than having to run it yourself
naive dust
You mean automatically without installing Linux by myself?
eager fulcrum
Tryhackme can run a kali VM for you
And you just remote in, or use a browser or ssh in.
The alternatives are running kali yourself in a vm, or running kali not in a vm
naive dust
Im in a windows based Laptop so I should go through blue instead of linux, am I right?
@eager fulcrum
eager fulcrum
No
Although you need metasploit for blue
So you will want to make a kali VM
So it's actually the other way around
Learn Linux can be done from basically anything
I completed it on my phone
naive dust
Oh , then Im going to learn Lenux.
naive dust
Should I do this step?
hallow thistle
Where do i find the login details for my kali machine

I'm on the site and i can't see login details anywhere

I'm on the site and i can't see login details anywhere
@hallow thistle Hi there, is it showing a login page? If so, where have you deployed the machine form (which page) and whats your TryHackMe username?
naive dust
How to open putty?
hallow thistle
@deep trellis this is the site: https://tryhackme.com/my-machine and there is a login page and my username is CapLongSchlong
deep trellis
Okay one moment please:)
hallow thistle
thanks
eager fulcrum
@naive dust I'll be honest with you, you need to learn how to use a computer before you can learn to hack
You open putty like opening any other program on Windows.
naive dust
Its ok, finally I opened it. I was little bit confused as it is first time.
eager fulcrum
It's literally the same as opening any other program on windows.
(Message was meant to go elsewhere)
naive dust
I’m doing Common Linux Privesc and the “wget” stays at “Connecting to IP:Port” without ever connecting, nothing but timing out, I tried for over an hour yesterday
eager fulcrum
Sounds like a network issue
Tell me how you're set up. VM? Host OS? Where's the VPN running?
naive dust
Yes I am using Oracle on a bridged connection
naive dust
Windows 10 Home as host, Kali as VM and Oracle is my Hypervisor
naive dust
I have one running on Windows and another on Kali
I type the sudo openvpn then path in the terminal on Kali and jt runs then I close the terminal after it says successful
eager fulcrum
you can't run the VPN on 2 different systems at the same time
It will kill your connections
connect only from kali
naive dust
Ok i’ll close Nord
naive dust
Yeah i’m closing the Nord client on my Host then maybe it wont interfere as you suggested
cedar siren
i'm trying to get access to shiba3 in the learn linux room but i'm pretty sure that i'm doing something wrong because i can't run shiba2
eager fulcrum
it is

yeah i figured that but i thought that was the binary

i did ls ../shiba2 but theres nothing in it

I think the Linux Privesc client is bugged, I tested the Learn Linux ssh to machine and everything worked
It’s just the Linux Privesc client that seems to be unable to work, after 2 hours or more i’m done trying to figure that room out
eager fulcrum
It's not
lilac ocean
It’s just the Linux Privesc client that seems to be unable to work, after 2 hours or more i’m done trying to figure that room out
@naive dust you can't ssh into the machine?
working fine for me:

Also there's at least 2 linux privesc walkthroughs
naive dust
Maybe there is privesc without LinEnum

I’m on Poloprivesc’s room

It's a VPN issue
ashen ravine
any good articles on how to connect the database to metasploit in kali
ashen ravine
i did, and broke my vm twice
naive dust
Well the machine freezes in Polo’s room but the other ssh machine on Learn Linux doesn’t
I’ll just try to find a different privesc room
ashen ravine
thanks @eager fulcrum , worked like a charm, idk why this didnt show up in the searches
eager fulcrum
I googled metasploit database
naive dust
The Linux Privesc machine is working so far, no issues
The “Common Linux Privesc” machine freezes idk if he can do anything to fix it but the two other machines i’ve ssh’d into work
naive dust
once someone submit a writeup how many time until response?

eager fulcrum
as long as you can see the website on the VM on this room, you're connected
fluid cradle
@eager fulcrum that's the thing, that is the tutorial I am following and I am not able to see the website
eager fulcrum
From windows?
fluid cradle
yes
fluid cradle
do I just go in manually to the folder and delete it?
and then do the import file thru OpenVPN again with the new file?
honest dust
you just delete your old openvpn profile and import the config file again
fluid cradle
@honest dust how do I delete my old profile?
honest dust
open the OpenVPN Connect app and click on the pencil on the right of your profile
then click the delete profile button
@eager fulcrum any idea regarding my problem?
eager fulcrum
There's a button to send the email
honest dust
yeah but im not receiving anything
eager fulcrum
Probably hitting your spam filters
honest dust
nothing on my student email and nothing on my personal email
eager fulcrum
Or you mistyped the email
honest dust
no.. funny thing is i get the "come back and hack" reminder emails on my student email, but no validation mail..
nothing in spam either
eager fulcrum
email support@tryhackme.com probably
honest dust
will do, thanks 🙂

am i using two exploits here?
when i use multi/handler
and then after it use icecast
am i using both or just icecast ?
eager fulcrum
@lusty river This isn't a tech support issue. you're never actually using multi handler.
lusty river
u select it as your shell or something ?
lusty river
i hope if there was more information on those rooms
eager fulcrum
You have to do your own research too
eager fulcrum
Icecast header is the exploit
The payload is delivered using the exploit.
Icecast is just a media streaming server
eager fulcrum
What do you mean?
lusty river
when we set our payload to reverse_tcp
eager fulcrum
What about it?
lusty river
isnt that the exploit ?.
lusty river
what's the payload then ?
a virus ?
in this example its a reverse_tcp is that something we deliver to solidify connection or control ?
eager fulcrum
reverse_tcp isn't the payload
the payload is like, windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
That's telling you the payload is a windows meterpreter that will communicate with you with TCP as a reverse shell
eager fulcrum
????
lusty river
windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
eager fulcrum
Yes it's a path
lusty river
oh
eager fulcrum
Path to a payload to be delivered
lusty river
reverse_tcp is a reverse shell u say
eager fulcrum

@cinder wasp Don't expect the VMs to run a webserver

that being said.. can we be certain his openvpn is workign correctly (although the network information says so)
cinder wasp
Oh, just trying to use the RP: PS Empire
eager fulcrum
Why do you expect to be able to open it in your browser?
cinder wasp
Idk, this was the first room that I was prompted to it seemed so I assumed after following the tutorial to connect to the OpenVPN that I would do the same with every room and go to the room
hushed oxide
you're skipping some pretty important steps here.. that get explained in other rooms 🙂
cinder wasp
Ah perfect, thanks!
I'll try and find some more basic ones to start with...thought it was a bit much getting thrown into this
lusty river
i'm getting a lot of timeouts, do i have to redownload the openvpn file or something ?
hushed oxide
@cinder wasp may I suggest the learn linux room?
@lusty river maybe just redeploy the room vm
hushed oxide
you redeployed.. but did you change the ip as well?
lusty river
i did
hushed oxide
ok so go with Ninja's suggestion
lusty river
what suggestion
hushed oxide
well.. yeah it's not really a suggestion but he says the same thing as you do.. but instead of redownloading it right away I'd start with closing the openvpn connection you have now and start a new one
lusty river
i did that multiple times
hushed oxide
ok then go for the redownload

i figured out that help sheet was concatenated to help

so all these exploits have one job ? and it is delivering a payload ?

How can I get this they dont tell about anything Nmap
And which terminal I should open?
barren birch
#room-help @naive dust
That said, what OS are you using?
naive dust
Windows
barren birch
That assumes you're using Linux, so can just open your default terminal and type man nmap for the help menu
The man pages are also online if you search for them
But you'll need nmap for the later tasks
naive dust
default terminal ? I have cmd terminal.
barren birch
You'll be using that or Powershell on Windows, yes
On Linux you use the terminal a lot more
If you're using nmap for windows, you'll do it through either Powershell or CMD
That's a Linux terminal though -- the Gnome terminal, to be precise
eager fulcrum
anonymised terminal
naive dust
yeh ,I got it .But what about my Windows Powershell or CMD?
barren birch
You can download Nmap for windows
anonymised terminal
@eager fulcrum Remember that stupidly long function I sent you a while back? I keep it in my bash_aliases 😁
I can completely anonymise the terminal and/or add timestamps with a command
eager fulcrum
does your terminal leak your info then, Mr [REDACTED]?
barren birch
yeh ,I got it .But what about my Windows Powershell or CMD?
@naive dust You can download it for windows, but a Linux VM would be a better bet. Linux tends to be a lot easier for this stuff
does your terminal leak your info then, Mr [REDACTED]?
@eager fulcrum Haha, yeah, <my-name>@<my-initials>-<os>
Hence blurring it in writeups
celest sapphire
imagine having your name + initials in the uname+hostname

@naive dust VMs
barren birch
Yeah , then how to run both Linux and windows? I have a lot of file in windows.
@naive dust A VM is your best bet
Look at VirtualBox or VMware player
And get a Kali or Parrot VM for them
naive dust
which one ?

i always have szymex as the username and a random name as a hostname
