probably wrong channel for that
@naive dust It works like any discord bot
Huh, that actually worked
how do all bots work lol
Who knew
Bot are programs that can act like users
how does it listen and provide all these informations lol is that an example of automations

If you want to learn how discord bots work in general, do some research
Believe it or not, it's really not as hard as you'd think. I made my first one the other day. The Discord API is, uh.. but it's easy enough to get something running
im actually scared lol
?
so i did 'sudo apt install openvpn' command in my Downloads directory in kali
i did the locate command on openvpn afterward to see where exactly the file was downloaded and there was multiple paths
openvpn is already on kali
my question is what is the exact path i need to put when i do the sudo openvpn command
sudo openvpn <path to config file>.ovpn
umm 😟
on kali?
Yes.
what command?
OpenVPN needs to know where to connect to, and needs some cryptographic stuff to authenticate you to the tryhackme vpn server
What do you mean what command?
and in what directory?
to download the config file
Follow this
and i just got logged out of my THM account for trying to change my passwrd too many times while in another browser in another computer (kali virtual machine)
Close the browser session and start a new one
so i did it and got something like this and checked the vpn in the network section in the settings menu and the vpn tab says that no vpn has been configured is this normal, or is it that the vpn was not shown because it was configured in the terminal, and one more question, how to i turn it off now in the terminal?
so i need to start a new terminal tab and keep that one open if i want to keep the vpn open right?
That's the ideal
what if i type clear?
There's a running process in that tab already
so i have foxy proxy installed in my firefox inside my kali machine and when i used it to check my ip its showing my exact ip address linked to my exact location and when i tried to connect to http://10.10.36.181 it worked.
shouldnt my ip have changed since im connected to a vpn
That VPN serves as a gateway into the THM network
It's not an anonymising VPN
And the rest of your traffic will still be being directed normally
ahh how do i change the ip address shown in my firefox or how do i anonymize my traffic?
Similar to @random ravine 's question earlier, anyone know how to paste a link into tryhackme's browser - based kali machine?
i was working on the metasploit room in THM and i found an error related problem in the task 7 "makin' Cisco proud" question #2 that asked : "Additionally, we can start a socks4a proxy server out of this session. Background our current meterpreter session and run the command search server/socks4a. What is the full path to the socks4a auxiliary module? "
i did the command twice and it did not work
this is the result i should've gotten but idk why it did not work for any reasons
@grim quail #room-help
it took me a long time to connect to the vpn
not knowing that am suppose to use this command
sudo openvpn Downloads/cyberflamez.ovp
currently doing the tmux room https://tryhackme.com/room/rptmux on questions 6-8, when i create a session then detach from it using the shortcut, it doesnt appear when typing "tmus ls". instead i get this message
@raw rampart is it your own machine?
normally this is a problem with your tmux config .... (if you're doing everything right)
or you're(/something) is killing it
does it even say it detached?
that's what it should looke like 😉
@digital yarrow maybe because it genuinely is malware?
You're complaining that your antivirus picks up readily available exploits as exploits
not familiar with the WSL acronym
Basically. You downloaded or installed something. This isn't directly tryhackme related. Not for this channel.
well most of us downloaded Kali for THM
and thought maybe someone else encountered this issue
@digital yarrow no.
A VM won't be picked up
Because the files don't exist on the host OS
sorry @eager fulcrum
Hey, i've been having an issue with booting up my kali machine on THM. I was having this issue a couple of days ago as well but sometimes when i try to turn it on it lets me in as normal but then kicks me out after liek 5 minutes. Other times it just doesn't let me in.
here is the error
Get this when trying to turn on my Kali
I try clicking 'Reconnect' but that just brings back the eroor
error*
Whats your THM username?
Did you terminate the machine?
yes
Because I can't find it running
Ah
If that happens again, please @ me and leave it running
ok will do
@deep trellis
it happened again
the machine is still online
@deep trellis but there's only 35mins left on the box before it terminates
my username is Hackmaster007
You know you can extend them right?
refresh
@deep trellis but there's only 35mins left on the box before it terminates
@void bramble Hi there
Is the machine still online?
I refreshed it and it's offline
So you were using it, and then it gave you that error message. 25 Minutes in or so
Yes
It looks like someone reset your machine's password.
Looks like I am moving up randomized password functionality to this week
Ok, just wanted to say i
When I got that message I clicked home and the it showed me recent connections with the box ip??
Don't know if that's significant
Nah it's cool
It was like a white window
Guys I am having real issues with access to internet while on the VPN.....this is killing me now. Please can someone take a look at this for me? I cannot hit anything externally on the VPN. Which means I have to kill my VPN which if you are already on the box and accessing the victim machine is a real pain.....
Cloning into 'firefox_decrypt'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/Unode/firefox_decrypt.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com
That's an issue with your setup
The VPN is set up not to interfere with your internet traffic at all, only traffic to the THM network goes over the VPN
I have my Kali as VM running on a bridged connection. Works absolutely fine off the VPN
Yep, it's an issue with your setup though
sudo traceroute -d 8.8.8.8
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 10.9.0.1 (10.9.0.1) 23.211 ms 23.009 ms 22.922 ms
2 * * *
3 * * *
4 * * *
5 * * *
6 * * *
7 * * *
8 * * *
9 * * *
10 * * *
Yep can see it is an issue with my setup....No it is hitting the gateway and not going anywhere
It shouldn't be going via that route, so there's something up with your routing on your VM
the VPN config only routes traffic for the VPN
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 10.9.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 50 0 0 tun0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0

That first route is wrong
Ah so looks like for some reason when the VPN is up the default route is is the preferred path
Yeah get that. But I haven't set any routes. Simply used the VPN config file
Hi, I’m having trouble receiving my verification email from tryhackme. I checked spam, regular inbox, everything. Nothing came. I did the resend option countless times and nothing still came. Dark even told me to make sure my email was inputed correctly and I made sure of that. If anyone can help, it’ll be much appreciated!
I recommend emailing support@tryhackme.com about that
Yea I did that yesterday afternoon so still waiting on their reply. Just wanted to know if anyone could help in discord, thnks
That first route is wrong
@eager fulcrum deleted the route and all good
sudo route delete -net 0.0.0.0 gw 10.9.0.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev tun0
just not sure why this route would have been created. But thanks for the assist Ninja
Hi guys, in RP: Webscanning, part 3, i should start OWASP-ZAP. But it seems this is not by default installed on the KALI machine?
@rich frost Not yet, but it is on the replacement
sudo apt install zaproxy should do it
Cheers, thanks 🙂
hello all. im having an issue connecting to the welcome 'test machine'. THM says im connected to the VPN (OpenVPN on Ubuntu 20.04). After deploying the machine and waiting upwards of 10 minutes, it's not pingable and i get no website.
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>
@deep trellis It's happening again
Thats actually a new error hm
Taking too long to respond?
this is sooo frustrating
@arctic hull Whats your username?
right. i had two running, killall'd them. when i sudo openvpn <conf.ovpn> , there are two openvpn tasks that are running:
MartianManhunter
I'm probably redo-ing this box like the 10th time
I've now switched off my Mcafee VPN
Good
re-deployed the weclome machine, waited a few minutes for it to boot up. still not able to access the VM. this seems to be an external issue actually.. does the IP scheme of my local network matter at all?
sorry, should clarify i can't ping the welcome machine either.
Show us the output in your terminal for the VPN
nvm me
@eager fulcrum I have just disconnected my VPN and reconnected and checked the routes, and the default route is back again....
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 10.9.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 50 0 0 tun0
Which is really weird. Is it to do with me starting the VPN through network manager rather than through the shell command?
This IP - 54.76.30.11
not sure which one that is pointing to
Yeah don't use network manager
I have no idea what that is, I'm guessing public IP?
Ah ok
Yeah don't use network manager
@eager fulcrum yeah just confirmed it by checking the routes before and after.....Weird how network manager automatically adds the routes...Thanks mate.
new config file generated in use. redeployed the machine: no go on the connection.
im going to try a couple things externally. thanks for the help so far, i'll report back one way or the other
Yeah don't use network manager
Network Mangler. FTFY
hi everyone, i never received the verification mail ¿any ideas of what to do? i've checked spam and my inbox, i also resended the code a couple times
Hi
I am still not able to complete Brainstorm. I noticed a bug submission for it here https://discordapp.com/channels/521382216299839518/685858111952781324/717902093863878696 but there is nothing under Known Issues on the room and the room appears to still be acting up.
Is there some update?
I'm having some issues with a Kali vm I built on a laptop. I'm running OpenVPN from the VM itself, logged into tryhackme from that VM, access shows connected and rooms are pingable. But nmap scans are failing in more than one room and I know from the first step of the writeups that I am doing the right scan. Any ideas?
I know it's just the VM I made because if I launch the Kali vm from THM it works fine, but I don't see networking-wise what I've done wrong, especially since the access page says I'm connected and pings are successful.
if my internal ip address is 10.2.x.x, and the Welcome Test machine is 10.10.x.x, is that going to cause me not to be able to ping or access the deployed machine(s)?
Nope, all is well (:
what about ip routes? should 10.10.0.0/16 be routed to my default gateway?
10.10.0.0/16 via 10.2.0.1 dev enp6s0 metric 1000
nvm this
i connected to the EURegular1 and it works
i think my network and the vpn tunnel network both being 10.2.x.x was causing me the problems
that's what i get for trying to be different on my network lol
@zealous yoke @minor parcel any ideas how I can troubleshoot the nmap network issue?
What's the error message?
@wild steppe , i do not. I'm very beginner myself. if i had to guess, it sounds like something with routing between the host and the kali vm
nmap "host seems down...try blocking ping probes" error
but they're not rooms blocking ping
Then you're not properly VPN'd
what could I do to fix it? I can ping the rooms, the THM Access page says I'm ok
I did sudo openvpn when connecting too
I mean, if you can ping them and nmap ignores it
yeah the same terminal pings ok so I know the room is up all the way, just nmap fails
but it's multiple rooms
I don't know what else to try if the access page says I'm good and ping works
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>
ok so I went through that, it was 3 lines with grep on the bottom, I did steps 2-4 and then redid 1 to see and it's 3 lines again
the lines are: sudo openvpn...
openvpn
grep openvpn
I don't understand the second one without sudo if I'm not running that
sure, the multivpn says "more than 1 and not grep"
the other is the openvpn process that the sudo one spawns
ok
The multivpn really needs updated
That guide was written before Kali switched to non-root user
haha ok
I have a troubleshooting script here that should be going on the website soon
Would you like to test?
Or is it all working now
yeah!
no still not working, I am back to where I started before coming on discord today
Ok, let's see if this sheds any light
inb4 it either doesn't work or gives us nothing
Download that and run it
Putting it in the same directory as your config is a good idea
But not essential
maybe a dumb question but was it just supposed to be ./thm-troubleshoot from the same directory?
@barren birch script is beautiful
however, (and im only saying this becuase it tripped me up) if your THMtunnel internal address and the machines ip address on teh same subnet (10.2.x.x/xx), a warning might be nice
let me download it again to be sure, but the first version worked for me as well
I've not updated the copy in here
And yeah, it does not do that. Might look into that check 👍
Thanks
in that case yes, it worked
@barren birch what am I doing to run that script when it's in the same directory as ovpn
Huh?
that's what I thought but it gave an error
Heh, that helps 😁
just a tad XD
so this is weird, it ran and everything was good but the "your THM address" is blank
Can you screenshot?
Now that's an interesting one
Can you screenshot the results of ip a show tun0 for me?
can I just paste it or do you really want a screenshot?
i think the it's actually showing your local address, not the thm address.
That should just be showing your THM IP @wild steppe, so screenshot, if you don't mind?
thm-troubleshoot
Ok, 11 is in there, why on earth is it not showing
ip a show tun0
Can you do ip a | grep -oE "10\.[2|4|8|9|11]\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3} @wild steppe?
@minor parcel Right, that is an easy fix
Other than there being a duplicate range
But I shall do some testing for that in a later version
I'm not sure it's doing anything unless it's slow. I just have a > after hitting enter
That's because I copied it wrong
@wild steppe add a " to the end
ok done, is it supposed to show something?
it should show one or more ip address
@minor parcel give this a shot
@wild steppe It is, which means regex is being stupid
it didn't show anything, just returned to my user prompt
ip a | grep -oE "10\.[2|4|8|9|'11']\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}"
Try that one?
Really shouldn't be making a difference
But it is
no same thing
@barren birch that worked
ifconfig shows what I'm guessing is the VM's IP, the loopback, and the tunnel
and the tunnel matches THM access page
@wild steppe does just 'ip a ' work?
Yeah, it's the regex @wild steppe
For some reason it's not liking matching more than one character
is that related to why it appears that I'm connected but nmap doesn't see anything?
yeah I still don't understand why I could ping but that doesn't work
yeah, still connected
Oh goddamnit
Sorted it
ip a | grep -oE "10\.(2|4|8|9|11)\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}
Try that for me?
- with a " at the end
with an endquote 😛
ah, i see the difference in the regex now. it looked the same at first
Yeah, I got the wrong brackets for it 😆
This is why you don't script at 0300 kids
I dunno if this matters but when I switched back to the vpn tab it had a bunch of decrypt packet errors
haha
Now, interestingly, I am very surprised that it let you past the range check
Oh, I see what happened there
@wild steppe do us one last favour and try that one?
(Then screenshot that VPN tab for me and I'll diagnose it myself 😆)
Oooh
Run that script and show me what happens
Then do sudo killall openvpn
And run the script again
I reckon I know what's going on here
blank again on first run
yeah on that step, it says try to connect y/n?
Tell it yes
tun0 does not exist before that
And yeah, that happened because I forgot to fix the display at the end 🙄
Did the rest of them
And yeah, just tell it to set it up itself
That means that it will also be checking for certificate errors
It sounds like your certificate has errors
haha everything is good again but blank ip
Yeah, blank IP will now be fixed on my local copy
I cannot type tonight
Ok, can you do sudo killall openvpn again, then start the VPN manually and show me the errors?
yes
well the manual vpn start is fine, it as after awhile with running the scripts that it started to give errors
I'm reconnected, run the script again? nmap again?
rp: ps empire
yeah I can ping it again
Can you nmap it?
I didn't let the nmap finish but it was starting to time out
Ok, anything in the logs?
nmap 10.10.111.5 -A -T4 --script vuln
nmap 10.10.box.ip -A -T4 --script vuln
ha that's weird
yeah that works
Sounds like the command might have been an issue
why would vuln script literally think the box isn't pingable?
The box is Windows
Blue should respond to ICMP
I don't know if Dark turned off the firewall, or just changed stuff on it
I took that from a writeup when I couldn't get it to work and it still failed
But Windows doesn't do nicely with being pinged, generally speaking
Try your command, but add -Pn?
I think I did and got the same but let me do it again
That working?
It sounds vaguely like your connection isn't liking the intensity of that scan
Anything in the OVPN log?
so you pointed out something I should have realized..when I said it did this with two rooms, I mean this one and Blue forgetting it's the same vm
Haha
yeah there's a bunch of mute reply warning stuff in the ovpn log
Can you screenshot it?
yeah
There was an error going around that was fixed by adjusting the transmission time
@deep trellis if you get a sec, mind checking that? It's a new one to me
Either way, it's working if you don't do anything like a -T4 scan @wild steppe?
let me take that out and just try the vuln script
👍
Did that work? 😁
yes lol
Haha, fair enough
I took out the t4
that script is cool though,let me know if you need a guinea pig again
Hehe, thanks
I've gotta logout, see you guys...
i have a problem connecting via openvpn
getting to it 😉
i did sudo openvpn name.ovpn
and i see a tun0 in my ifconfig
inet is the same as destination though
and it wont let me get to my machines
also whatismyipadress.com still shows my non openvpn ip
Get to your machines? What do you mean?
It's not that type of VPN
It doesn't change your IP address, it doesn't anonymise at all.
ok
but when it try to go to the machines website (10.10.xxx.xxx) it will not let me get through
Are you sure it's running a website?
ok got it had to close browser 1st
thank you 🙂
Will there be new ways to pay subscribtions? Like ideal or molly?
wait nvm this is not for tech support
Uh... what?
Localhost is whatever computer you're using at the time
Yes, you could do that, in a variety of different ways
Not really THM related though
Nope.
Oh sorry my bad
But yeah, the server is TryHackMe related 🙂
Hey guys, I'm very new to Linux and pentesting. Just started the basic linux tutorial room and im trying to ssh into my VM as per the tutorial however whenever i try to connect through Putty om having a connection error 'connection timed out' im following the exact instructions but it just doesn't want to cooperate. Any ideas?
You connected to the VPN @zenith bear?
Apparently i wasn't! Thanks mate, i think i musn't have connected properly.
All good now.
Hello there. Shodan.jo room task 4 question number 2 needs to be updated. Am I right or I’m missing something?
On the in browser machine page https://tryhackme.com/my-machine should I be able to choose where the machine spawns? Clicking on "United Kingdom" doesn't give a drop down like it appears it might.
@narrow charm yes
Thank you
@normal garden I dont believe that you can change that you might be able to by changing where your vpn is but it might also be that it can only spawn in the UK
@normal garden Coming soon™️
@naive dust What is the issue you're having?
@naive dust Please do not DM me - if you require assistance I'm more than happy to assist you within this room.
Hello, anyone able to help me out?
Don't ask to ask, just ask the question
yes sir
hello im trying to scan a machine in the room basic pentesting and nmap is saying that the host is down I try to ping the Ip and I dont get any response, and yes im connected to vpn.
@radiant jasper not all machines respond to pings, try scanning with the -Pn flag to skip ping check in nmap
hello im trying to scan a machine in the room basic pentesting and nmap is saying that the host is down I try to ping the Ip and I dont get any response, and yes im connected to vpn.
@radiant jasper When it says the host is down it also suggests to use-Pnflag just in case??
Naughty, I just responded to this... you're doing it again
I am slow at typing
anyways, I've been having some weird problems when doing stuff on the labs. I'm using my own Kali Machine, fresh install.
While working on Steel Mountain there was absolutely no way the intended Metasploit exploit would work. I did check if everything was ok (I'm not total beginner just in case), I followed walkthroughs, I followed livestream from @grave leaf, but nothing seems to work, weird, even when it's supposed to since my install is fresh and all the steps are recreated the same way. Then I tried manual exploitation but I would always not be able to do certain steps on the machine like running malicious file, again, weird things. I moved on and now I'm on Jenkins but there is also weird stuff going on and at this point I'm not convinced that the issue is on my side. Nmap scan will not return results, even using flag -Pn. I also tried different flags but nothing comes back. I also tried going straight to the first intended ip:port on the browser but there's no answer. Some stuff works but a lot of them doesn't. When I check writeups to certify myself I'm not doing something totally weird, I'm not.
My machine doesn't not seem to be the problem since I tried similar stuff to boxes on HTB and there's no problem.
My guess is that maybe there's something related to the connection pack I was assigned (I did download new one), restarting machine does not work.
Any idea on what to do next?
I do remember experiencing some troubles on past machines but now I do not remember exactly what
Maybe the IP that I'm assigned (always the same one so far, even with new connection pack) fell into some kind of filtering or something, is that possible?
Similar to @random ravine 's question earlier, anyone know how to paste a link into tryhackme's browser - based kali machine?
@mint gust solved, you have to enable clipboard if you are using chrom
@manic sinew to me that looks like a connection issue. Did you see anything weird in the openvpn log?
hm, I did not dig to deep into it, I close the connection and open again and appears connected, maybe I can paste it somewhere to get some help? I'm not too expert on these issues. First I'll see if I find something weird by myself
you should be able to paste it here, it it's too long it should automatically upload it as a file
alright so, on my big message I talked about 2 machines, Steel Mountain and "Jenkins" (actually, Alfred). Nmap -Pn wasn't showing results. I tried to restart the connection with THM, restart my machine and Alfred but nothing. Now for whatever reason it is detecting the ports. I don't see nothing weird on the openvpn log but I'll paste it here.
about Steel Mountain, I deployed it to try to see if the issue there was fixed but not
of course now we get to a point where the issue could be the connection or something that I'm doing wrong to pwn the machine, and I don't want to spoil, but from my perspective there's nothing wrong on my side. Showing the steps that I'm following to "pwn" the machine could maybe point out the error
The Mayor (also mentor) did try to help me the other day during his livestream and before but we couldn't find the issue
it's basic exploitation but it just doesn't work
openvpn log (I censored a bit my ip):
No need to censor local ip
can't somebody start poking my machine around? what if I have a vulnerable service open and my machine is on bridge mode?
VPN is on the VM right?
yes
connects fine from what I see
@distant acorn how is it broken??
@celest sapphire any idea? It's a bit frustrating to spend hours and have the feeling that the fault is on the other side
I cant connect vpn
lxd is crashing
How so @naive dust
tried restart the box, still crashing
lxd for that room is known to be buggy
You’ll have keep redeploying and hope to get lucky
i tried redeploy 3 times, still no luck
Please respect Rule 1 @naive dust. We can help you here if you get a bit more detail
@zealous yoke I cant connect to OpenVPN its showing error
What’s the error?
disconnection. and im using Linux machine
!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>
Try that
I’d recommend sudo killall openvpn and connecting in one terminal only to make sure
Hey @zealous yoke, is there a way to receive another ip? I would like to grey out this option from the source of my problem
@zealous yoke thks let me try
@manic sinew iirc you get a different IP after regenerating the config
hm, I did regenerate and got the same one, that's why I was asking. I'll try once more
regenerate button keeps giving me the same one always
maybe it was switching the VPN servers that gave different IPs
yes I did that, got new IP but problems still here

hmm, so it's not colliding with the other network
I'm using nordvpn on my main machine, not sure if could be
might be that
at this point what I'm using to "check" if things are working or not is launching the intended exploit from msf in Steel Mountain
guyz i cant to cant connect to vpn
You're going to need to be a lot less vague than that
@naive dust less vague.
#site-support message
why it comes like this, whn i try to connect with vpn
You needed to start with that
Don't make us keep asking for badic information
Are you in Egypt?
indain
Check your system time and your network connectivity.
@eager fulcrum let me try
Hi,
I keep getting theWARNING: Failed to daemonise. This is quite common and not fatal. Connection timed out (110) error on the vulnversity room and i cant seem to fix it
plesae help
That means you're not listening correctly
Or you didn't set the settings right in the shell
uh, ive changed anything in the reverse shell code apart from local ip and port
i havent
Local IP set to your VPN IP?
Set to the 10.10 address of the kali browser machine?
The local is 10.10
oh i did the one that said 173. whatever
Ninja, A weird no response thing happened with me while trying to open www.tryhackme.com onto chrome
(Diagnosed a little bit, It was only happening with my particular IP)
check Ping Log here: https://pastebin.com/M3kxYLrX
*Fixed automatically after 5mins.
Wanted to know, if my Ip got banned (I done nothing, just randomly opened thm on random time) or was website down?
okay! It's again happening with me LIVE!
Site is up
If you were IP banned, there would be a good reason. And you'd be told
Issue is on your end
Not tryhackme's
ohh okay!
❤️ I'll check!
I can't tell what you're doing wrong because I can't see what you're doing
ah ig
IP needs to be the 10.10 IP of the kali machine
yup ive done that
Not of the machine you're attacking
ip a s
Working?
VPN keeps dying again - when performing scans
Checked multivpn?
leme check
Yeah, only 1 instance running
Happend a few weeks ago, exactly the same thing, dies -> reconnects -> scan -> die
Weird. I'm out of ideas.
hey ninja
i put the reverse shell code im using in a pastebin
but sadly it still dont work
I don't know all the information here, I can't help much more
Known issues for what, vulnversity?
yup
Specifically says what?
it just says the error message im getting
cos u know u can click options then known issues
its in there
last one
Yeah there's no detail there and that error tends to be user error
It's probably from when anyone could add a known issue
I am trying TryHackMe for the first time. However, when I connect using Openvpn to the Simple CTF and then click on Deploy, although it says I have an active machine, no virtual machine window appears for me to complete the task in. What am I doing wrong?
@naive dust For the vast majority of machines on the site you don't get in browser access
You're given an IP address and told to hack your way in
That's the case for Simple CTF
OK, that's helpful, thankyou. And for your swift response!
VMware 15.5.6 is out, sorts the CAPS LOCK issue, incase anyone else had that issue
Oh boy did I
They might as well rename 15.5.5 to 15.5.CAPS_LOCKED

Hey Guys, just trying to complete the rpburpsuite room but I can't get the answer right for task13 #1 and I have tried everything. Can anyone help if they have got the answer and where abouts it may be hiding please 🙂
No stress, I found the answer thanks
@zenith urchin Good for you and also if you have any questions in future you can ask in #room-help 🙂
Thanks
Can anyone tell me how to configure
my router for openvpn>/??
@cursive lagoon As we said, you don't configure your router at all
then how do i fix it?
openvpn works one network and doesnt work on another
Not a tryhackme issue
hey there, does the tryhackme network is sometimes overloaded / unstable ? preventing some revers shell success ?
then i m not geting any support?
@cursive lagoon You're not getting support for a problem that you have a solution to. Use the other network.
@pearl hill Nope.
@eager fulcrum thanks
If you're not getting a reverse shell, you're either not connected properly, doing something wrong, or not running the VPN directly on kali.
the other one is too slow and not my own
I suppose the error is indeed on my side @eager fulcrum thanks for the info 😉
@eager fulcrum ?
@cursive lagoon Quite clearly that wasn't directed at you, seeing as it doesn't relate at all to what we were discussing
??
You don't have to do any setup on your router to allow openvpn
Do you have a specific question to answer?
Or would you like to show us what's not working, with screenshots and enough information that we can try to help you?
here is the output of openvpn username.ovpn:

There are no problems there.
Check your system time, it needs to be accurate
If you're in Egypt, it won't work at all
??
Ok, then the issue is with your network
Outside of what we can really help you with
should my time be gmt 0?
Your system time should be UTC, and then whatever offset you need
this is why there are descriptions to the channels
Hi guys, im trying to do the rpburpsuite room. im trying to do the sniper attack Task9 #12. Nothing is coming back, and im getting these errors. The room is deployed. Ive got 40mins left on it. Not to sure whats going on
Did you turn off url encoding?
yeah its turned off
Seems like a #room-help question more than tech-support. This is probably an issue with user configuration.
What are you trying to run it on? If it's Windows, you may need to modify defender settings.
ok cheers.... Im in Kali on VMware
Let's move to #room-help and see if we can sort it out. 🙂
so TLS handshake error with openvpn, no way around it?
the vpn is blocked in my country
Wait for TCP VPN or subscribe and use the subscriber kali. Egypt? @tawny cliff
yup
Those are your options then.
alright, ty
You could try tunnelling your traffic elsewhere first but VPNs inside VPNs often go wrong
i'd imagine so that's why i haven't tried it
can you explain this question
@naive dust it wants you to list the number of ports under 1000. So if port 21, 22, and 8080 and open, the answer is 2
@naive dust I think your question is better suited for community-help or community-hints depending on what you're looking for
hey 🙂 here, at "learn Linux" room, tesk 11 they ask me to execute the binary file "shiba1", whare I can find it? thanks
#room-help but shiba1 should be in the home directory of shba1 iirc
Cant find this directory, i will ask there, thanks
i tried setting up the openVPN for Linux...i did everything that was said but after i 'apt-installed' the directory was not there
it just...did not exist
any help regarding this? if yes, please ping me along with the answer
You just need to sudo apt update && sudo apt install openvpn
then use the openvpn command with the path to your config file @spark lodge
!vpn
It'll be wherever you downloaded the config file too
@spark lodge If you downloaded the config it'll usually be in your Downloads folder by default
its empty...
cd ~/Downloads && ls *.ovpn
If it's not there
Try downloading it again, and check where you're saving it..
oh i didnt get it
What client?
apt install openvpn
sudo apt update && sudo apt install openvpn -y && sudo openvpn ~/Downloads/*.ovpn
Use that instead, just to be safe
Mhm
through any browser?
its a room that has got machine IP
It has a webserver, but you'd be better starting with tutorials
i see
Learn Linux, being a good bet from the sounds of it
any begineer suggestions?
It would certainly help with the VPN
yep
is the TCP openvpn out yet?
Not yet @valid fossil I'm afraid
ok

That wasn't direct to you dw @valid fossil, there was another whose just left
That looks right @split horizon
idk you replied after me last messeging so
does it?
They deleted messages
give it a few seconds it sometimes takes a couple of seconds to get past that
ok
It looks like it because messages have been deleted
yeah mb
including switching vpn servers?
!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>
use sudo killall openvpn for the 3rd step
yeah
@split horizon if you are in Egypt, openvpn is currently blocked
are you using virtual machine
Linux or Windows?
@barren birch break out the troubleshooting script
ill restart now cya
Uh, gimme a sec. On my phone
thm-troubleshoot
I do not believe that worked.
Hopefully will be the latest one though.
Hi, I'm currently working through the Linux Challenges. I've realised there's no sound coming out of the machine at all. Do I have to do this on my own box via OpenSSL so I can move it back to Windows to open the file for flag 32?
Download it to your local
@summer basalt There's a large number of ways you can grab a file from the box.
Thanks 😄
@barren birch should I download youe file
sorry guys, I don't know if this is the right channel, but how do I change my billing to take place on the last day of the month?
anyone know?
You will have to wait until your current subscription ends and then renew it on the day you want
You can't specify billing dates - it is 30 days from whenever it's been started 🙂
will I lose my stats, etc?
Nope!
wow thanks 🙂
You just won't have subscriber benefits e.g. if you're in the middle of a sub room you can't complete it
ok
@split horizon I mean, if you've not sorted the problems then yeah, give it a shot
any time ^^
enjoy your evening 🙂
and you! Thanks!
Hello!
Is there any known issue with Hackpark? There are serious timeout kinda problems every time, even restarting the box. My Openvpn shows no errors and I do not have any other VPN on. Sometimes the web server loads automatically and sometimes takes very very long, also the shell ends up dropping
!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>
Hackpark dies after an hour, but other than that it was stable for me
all the boxes dies after an hour no?
also the button to add 1h almost never works
even adding the extra hour the connection dies
I had the same on Steel mountain
I see, anyways, I did kill openvpn process, will give a try again
@barren birch [+] Connecting....
openvpn: no process found
[-] Fatal Error: Inline Certificate is invalid
your script is printing that
openvpn: no process found worries me
Inline Certificate is invalid
Means you need to switch server and generate a new config
Can you screenshot the output?
after exec the openvpn before this time?
Whichever

where from is your script taking my connection file?

Then yeah, run the script, and let it create the tun0 for you
its still not working
Same thing?
Ok, could you please run it manually for me, then take a screenshot of the output
Preferably an actual screenshot
ok
Sounds like something wrong with the generation. I know there were changes made recently
It should just be your VPN IP
@vapid dawn could I get you to check this quickly?
That's after regenning and switching servers
of course i restarted pc too // unfortunately i dont have any option to test on other devices
Is there anything missing from that screenshot by the way?
em i guess not lemme check
just did one from the first line too
but its basicly all the same
Oh, I'm just trying to figure out where the heck my script was pulling the certificate error from
Do us a favour and check your system time actually?
TLS could be that
Right then. Do my a favour would you?
yeah lemme try
what do you need me to check @barren birch ?
Could you check the screenshots from @split horizon @vapid dawn?
VPN problems. Script is currently indicating a certificate error. Wondering if it might be timezone related though
timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Berlin is not working
im not a linux pro is this the right syntax?
you're running it from linux right?
what geographic location are you in?
countries light Egypt block OpenVPN
it should be yaeh
but it isnt
cause i set a wrong time zone on kali install
i tryed changing it with timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Berlin is not working
but sadly no results
why don't you tried following this: https://www.tecmint.com/synchronize-time-with-ntp-in-linux/
Also, @split horizon, mind copying and pasting the stuff you screenshotted in here? I have a little testing of my own to do
should i c&p you the stuff of the screenshots
xyz@xyz:~$ sudo ntpdate 1.de.pool.ntp.org
11 Jun 23:07:21 ntpdate[4113]: no server suitable for synchronization found
should i c&p you the stuff of the screenshots
@split horizon If you could paste it as text that would be great 😄
I have a couple of things to check with that script. It's still getting improved
you decide
Yep, sure
Either works for me

you have internet connectivity right
yep
(Script would definitely have caught that one 😁)
might be your ISP blocking NTP packets
before all this, did you try regenerate your server?
** config file?
host
and from a home network and not a corporate network?
usually i use the web kali host but there is a box that need packages thats not running on the web one cause its not saving any changes on restarts and stuff
home network
firewall is not catching anything too
why don't you use the GUI to change your time settings?
Is this a VM?
no
what distro of linux are you using?
i know this sounds like a stupid question but i have looked everywhere n tried all sorts. My clock is out a hour and cause of that it i have problems with many websites and various other things. So how do i change time to proper time?
try checking those
Kali is funny with times -- I was messing around with it when I was testing this
the gui is olny showing american time zones
This isn't going to fix it, for the record, but it helps me in terms of improving the script for future use. Could you possibly run this copy once for me? Just to check that it gives the right error for people with your problem 🙂
yeah
Thanks ♥️
im pming you results
Hi all, I'm trying to see a video in the hackpark room but is too slow.
Do you know how can I solve this ?
How can I change my username? The registration process removed special characters, and I'd like to switch to a different username, if possible.
Coming soon
@eager fulcrum Ok, thank you.

hii i have a problem. i can't put my answer in the "RP: tmux" task number 1 and Question number #3 and #5 i follow all the clue hint, the question, the cheatsheet, everything i can find but it still sead my answer is wrong why is that?
and number #6 just know did the same thing
pls anyone help @everyone
asking everyone isn't a good idea @dull creek also... maybe try one of the following rooms: #room-help , #room-hints and if you don't get an answer there try #692465827143876689 . This channel is only for stuff that are of technical kind.. not for questions that are filled in (probs) incorrectly
ok
@dull creek Try the full name of the key #3
@flint arrow he's been redirected to the help channels 😉
