@olive axle I'm not sure what you're talking about?

[eager fulcrum]

A lot of the JS stuff is taking a while, the hackpark thumbnail is too

Cookie.js took nearly 6 seconds and failed

[deep trellis]

That's behind our AWS's CDN - Weird.

[eager fulcrum]

yeah the JS is what's slowing it down it seems?

[deep trellis]

Mind seeing where its loading from?

Is it assets... or from THM directly?

[eager fulcrum]

Skidy, why

[sharp bear]

oh damn it was fine on mobile but I just got on my desktop and its bad

[eager fulcrum]

pushed to prod with localhost as a url

RIP

I have this which I shouldnt

I didn't code this one, Ashu did - so maybe if he has time he can update it to stop showing to existing users?

it also looks like the UI of the dashboard changed? did you push new code?

Hello there, I am having an issue with using the web kali machine from the kali room

[eager fulcrum]

Show us the issue.

[shadow raven]

ok it worked now

it literally did

[eager fulcrum]

That was easy

[feral dock]

If only all issues were like this

[eager fulcrum]

Next time, give things 5mins before asking for help?

[shadow raven]

Idk why but it kept showing e the error red message

red*

it kept showing for 3 mins lmao

[eager fulcrum]

When you get error messages and you want help, you need to show people the error messages

We can't fix things if we don't know what's going on.

I was going to copy it and show it here

but it suddenly worked

[deep cedar]

Hi. Im new and having constant issues deploying VMS and their ports are all filtered. Cannot ping them. OpenVPN is running as admin. I disable my windows 10 firewall and my AVG antivirus. Is it just the luck of the draw? Ie some VMS cant be scanned? Otherwise there's something missing. As scans of other ip address eg Google work fine. Im going batty wasting hours.

[eager fulcrum]

Don't scan google

You're probably not connected properly

[deep cedar]

How can i check that?

[wet shard]

Does ipconfig tells you you have a virtual interface with a 10.X.X.X IP address?

[feral dock]

ipconfig is for windows.

[wet shard]

Yup

[deep cedar]

Yes but its not my private ip on OpenVPN. Is that ok?

[feral dock]

Oh, they are using Windows 🤢

[deep cedar]

Yeh windows

Actually there is no virtual ip with ipconfig

[wet shard]

Ooh that's interesting

[deep cedar]

Its for Ethernet adaptor 3 my OpenVPN address

[wet shard]

Which OpenVPN client are you using? I suspect it didn't/couldn't for some reason create/assign your IP your virtual interface

Networking on Win$ sometimes is a pain in the *ss to be honest

[radiant token]

I noticed that my Getting Started thing says I haven't completed a room yet, but I've completed multiple

[tender grail]

I noticed that my Getting Started thing says I haven't completed a room yet, but I've completed multiple
@radiant token I have the same problem, I believe the error is that is not flagging as completed the first point which is weird because I used Kali in browser and I also used the VPN.

[radiant token]

I can't get nmap to output any of it's findings. It scans, tells me it did a scan, mentions a host is up, and that's it. I've ran the -vv tag, and it does show me it's making progress, but I can't get it to output anything it finds through it's scans, even by having it outpout to a file. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong here

[pulsar crater]

try nmaping 127.0.0.1

[golden crag]

I can't get nmap to output any of it's findings. It scans, tells me it did a scan, mentions a host is up, and that's it. I've ran the -vv tag, and it does show me it's making progress, but I can't get it to output anything it finds through it's scans, even by having it outpout to a file. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong here
@radiant token what kind of information do you want to see?

[radiant token]

anything it finds. Directories, open ports. Anything and/or everything

[golden crag]

I would start by maybe going tough the manual page of nmap to see what flags give which kind of output

[radiant token]

@pulsar crater that one showed me an open port... weird

[pulsar crater]

try to restart the box

[golden crag]

And make sure u are connected to the openvpn server

[radiant token]

I am. I even have a little script set up to make it convenient to run openvpn

all I have to do is ./ovpn

[copper mist]

all I have to do is ./ovpn
@radiant token sudo openvpn <path to .ovpn file>

[golden crag]

Thats nice! But make sure u dont spawn multiple connections

[radiant token]

I know. I'm saying I made it more convenient

[copper mist]

I am. I even have a little script set up to make it convenient to run openvpn
@radiant token why make an extra script when aliases are a thing

[radiant token]

because I wanted to

[copper mist]

alias thm='sudo openvpn ~/ovpns/file.ovpn'

don't have to type ./

[radiant token]

don't care. Feels cooler

[copper mist]

what feels cooler is having an organised profile and an entire .alias and .function file that links to zshrc

One liner (simple) scripts are a waste of time, effort and memory

[radiant token]

to each their own

[pulsar crater]

memory isn't free you know

:3

[copper mist]

if you want to keep your script, you could link it as a binary and type ovpn as a command

[naive dust]

Hi i have small bug in kali can somebody help? Can i dm you

[pulsar crater]

just post your question here

more ppl can see == more chance to get it fixed

[naive dust]

So when i write for example apt-get install terminator it outouts a error: E: unnable to locate package <name> so i searched on internet and i found that i need to ad repositories in sources list but when i apt-get update it dose not work btw i have kali 2017 downloaded on VM from index of/ kali-images/kali-2017.3

[leaden token]

have you done sudo apt update ?

[naive dust]

Yes

But it dose not work

[leaden token]

also don't use apt-get use just apt

[naive dust]

Ok i will try

[leaden token]

additionally, run sudo apt full-upgrade to update everything

[naive dust]

But its wierd that it dose not work at start

[pulsar crater]

sounds like apt.sources isnt filled

https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories/

[naive dust]

@pulsar crater i know but i added repos

And still nothing

Did you have same issue or not?

I feel like i am only one with this issue

[pulsar crater]

what program are you trying to install?

[naive dust]

Terminator

[pulsar crater]

it might not be in the repo's

apt search terminator

you can install other software?

[naive dust]

I will try it but on last time i got kali it worked but i delete it cuz you know how is it with kali and download again but i hot this error

@pulsar crater nooe

Nope

[pulsar crater]

then it is def a sources issue

[naive dust]

Yea. What kali version do you use?

[pulsar crater]

2020.2

[naive dust]

Ah i use 2017 cause i learned on it. Maybie that is problem? Culd it be?

[pulsar crater]

could be

i dunno

just dl the iso and install

[naive dust]

Tnx for help

[pulsar crater]

np

gl!

[golden crag]

also don't use apt-get use just apt
@leaden token may i ask why ? 😁

[pulsar crater]

old vs new

[leaden token]

because apt-get is deprecated (outdated)

[golden crag]

Ohhh wow, did not know that lol

Why was i always using apt-get 😂

[naive dust]

Yea me to😂

[radiant token]

still no nmap output. I've tried many varients of the command, and nothing. I'm tempted to throw in the towel

[golden crag]

Can u show the command u run and rhe output?

[naive dust]

I did everything but nothing is changed

I dont know why is this happening

[golden crag]

Also with sudo apt?

[vernal ruin]

I did everything but nothing is changed
@naive dust cat /etc/apt/sources.list what's the output ?

[lucid vine]

hey i have a problem

today 2 hours ago i did the welcome room

and i was able to acces the machine

to see the flag

but now i try to connect to a machine in another room

and it doenst seem to work

i have tried waiting for a long time

tried to regenerate the ovpn file

also terminated the machine and make a new one

[golden crag]

Make sure u are connected to the open vpn network and only have one instance running

[lucid vine]

i have

i use linux so i use openvpn name.vpn

in terminal

and it is working

so 🤔

[golden crag]

Have u checked for multiple instanced?

[lucid vine]

i restarted my pc already

so there shouldnt be multiple instanced

[golden crag]

And u ran the ovpn file as sudo?

[lucid vine]

ofcourse

[golden crag]

What error are u getting?

[lucid vine]

i dont have any error

[golden crag]

When trying to connect to the machine

[lucid vine]

i just cant connect to the machine

unable to connect

[quick topaz]

maybe u didnt download the correct openvpn

[golden crag]

And u are sure the machine u are running has a webservice on it?

[lucid vine]

@quick topaz i did

[golden crag]

On the default port

[lucid vine]

@golden crag what do you mean with that?

[golden crag]

I would run a nmap scan to see what the machine has running

Not evrry box has a web service

[lucid vine]

ill try the welcome machine

that one

has 1 for sure

i also pinged the machine and it worked so 😐

[zealous yoke]

I would do as @golden crag suggests. Not every room will have a web server running on the default port

It's often apart of the challenge to enumerate if there is one, and if so, what port it is running on

[lucid vine]

oh the welcome one works

so where can i find the port then

[zealous yoke]

Yes

[lucid vine]

because they didnt mention it

[zealous yoke]

the welcome machine has a web server running on port 80 so you can connect with only the IP in your browser

Check out https://tryhackme.com/room/rpnmap

[golden crag]

so where can i find the port then
@lucid vine this is where nnap comes into play

[zealous yoke]

Very useful tool

[lucid vine]

i know how nmap works so ill try that ig

but shouldnt they metion it?

mention*

[zealous yoke]

Not necessarily

[golden crag]

Different rooms will have different challanges or boxes with different services on them. Basicly you want to check what services run on it, enumerate the machine.

[zealous yoke]

Especially if it's a challenge like Vulnversity is

[lucid vine]

well it isnt i was trying out learn linux because its a easy room

but i had to acces the machine for the bin file

but thanks guys

ill have a look if it is the port that i am missing

[zealous yoke]

Learn Linux will only have a port for SSH open (:

You have to connect via it as per the room for the tasks

[vagrant leaf]

Hello im sorry to bother you but i have a probleme concerning openvpn I can't connect to it. i search every solution but can't find an answer

[cunning vector]

Anyone knows whatsup with anti virus blocking some submit requests and saying that TryHackMe is trying to execute RCE on me....

[lucid vine]

@zealous yoke so

the 22 port?

[golden crag]

Hello im sorry to bother you but i have a probleme concerning openvpn I can't connect to it. i search every solution but can't find an answer
@vagrant leaf what error you getting?

[lucid vine]

but i dont think you can connect to that

[zealous yoke]

the 22 port?
@lucid vine yup (:

[lucid vine]

see

i tried it

but cant

[golden crag]

but i dont think you can connect to that
@lucid vine you tried with ssh?

[golden crag]

Ok so let me explain

[lucid vine]

i did :22

because when i scanned open ports i found this one

[golden crag]

Your browser is used to connect to websites and webservices

But their is a big world beyond just web sites

The service running on port 22 is ssh

[vagrant leaf]

@golden crag it says that my configuration file can't be open

[golden crag]

Basically it is used to connect to a certain machine

You cant conndct to it with your browser

You have to use ssh

[lucid vine]

makes sense

[zealous yoke]

Check the path as to where you're saying that your config file is where you're telling openvpn it is @vagrant leaf

[lucid vine]

alright thanks

then what is the password?

because it askes for a password

[vagrant leaf]

@zealous yoke i did all verification and at one moment it said : Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter in [CMD:LINE]:1: config (2.4.7)

[zealous yoke]

The credentials are given in one of the first few tasks

[golden crag]

If i may, i would advice to read what a room is about and depending on that, it might be a clue as to what you sre suppose to do

Somethimes you get the credentials, sometimes you have to bruteforce them

[zealous yoke]

Ah okies, that's an issue with the config file itself. I'd recommend switching vpn server, waiting ~10-15 seconds and regenerating @vagrant leaf

[lucid vine]

alright found it

indeed there was a task for it

[vagrant leaf]

@zealous yoke I've got the same error : In [CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file: /Téléchargements/alexpau07.ovpn

[deep trellis]

I've got the same error : In [CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file: /Téléchargements/alexpau07.ovpn
@vagrant leaf Which OpenVPN server is this on?

[vagrant leaf]

@deep trellis EU-Regular-2

...

[winter isle]

does adventure time room has a problem ??

the website is not open

@vagrant leaf have you tried to opening it with sudo ?

[vagrant leaf]

@winter isle Yes that's what im doing from the start

I can't find a solution tried different vpn too, tried to re-generate one thousand times i doesn't seem to work for me :/

@deep trellis Did you happen to find what's wrong with my thing ?

Do i have to go on windows to make it work ?

[untold vector]

i cant access a room name Alfred
my openvpn is initiated
and also The TryHackMe page shows me connected in the Access page
but when i ping the Machine and Also try to nmap with TCP ping scan
it shows the host seems down

[golden crag]

i think

its because of this

Please note that this machine does not respond to ping (ICMP)

not sure

[untold vector]

yes thats y i tried TCP ping scan using nmap then too its displaying the same error

[golden crag]

mmm

[untold vector]

ok nvm i think so my net is slow but it worked out with nmap TCP scan

sorry for wasting your time

[golden crag]

No problem man ! Happy it got resolved!

[naive dust]

I dont know what problem was but i downloaded version 2020 from offical website and now its all good but i will need time to be used uding newer version. I more like 2016 or 17 cause i learned on it for few years. But i hope that i will be used to 20 version

[golden crag]

I understand that using older versions might feel more comfortable , but working with the most recent software and versions is always a good idea, especially in this field / environment 😁

Happy to hear it works now

[naive dust]

Yea i wish that on their site you can download version that you wont nit yust nowest one😖

Do you know any website witch has older version but with no bugs like this

?

[golden crag]

Thing is , i have no idea what caused the bug to be honest 😅 i do know that kali and other pen test distros are always pushing newest versions, and asking users to use most recent. For security purposes

You can prob find an older version, but to be honest, do you really feel like you need it?

[naive dust]

Yea i know but this verson is too clicky and idk its not feeling like penetration testing distro ut feels like windows. And with other versions of linux like parrot i had same issue

[golden crag]

really? I dont have that feeling at all, i do almost everything in the terminal

but im still relativly new / beginner level here. I guess someone more senior can give a better perspective?

[naive dust]

Yea and i dont like being loged an non prevelege user i like be logged as admin becaise i use vm so i am not afraid of anithyng hapoend but i always must enter password witch is frustrating for me

[eager fulcrum]

Give yourself passwordless sudo.

You can just skip installing a GUI if you really want.

You can also set a root password and log in as root.

Hi can anyone help me with deploying machines? I am using OpenVPN and when I connect to the server using the config file it shows on the OVPN app connected, however on the website it does not show me connected and when i try to deploy machines I get an error (pictures provided)

[hasty shale]

Ok, just throw up a Python webserver (sudo python3 -m http.server 80), then on your own computer, go to the Kali IP address in your web browser
@barren birch Just want to thank you for this wonderful little nugget that will really come in helpful in the future!

[eager fulcrum]

@vague basalt VMs do not always run webservers, so you can't open them in your web browser like that

The access page does not reliably show if you're connected.

[vague basalt]

so i should try remote desktop?

[eager fulcrum]

No

What VM are you trying to access?

[vague basalt]

the "Welcome" tutorial room deployed for me in the browser no problem, then when i went to any other VM to deploy them I get that message

[eager fulcrum]

Yes

Because you can't just open the IP address in your browser

Unless it's running a web server on port 80.

[vague basalt]

Ah i was just following the instructions, so how should i be launching the VMs?

https://tryhackme.com/room/zthlinux currently trying this one

[eager fulcrum]

You launch the VMs by clicking deploy

I recommend you work through the rest of the room, as it tells you how to connect to that VM.

[vague basalt]

Ah i see, okay thanks a lot!

I had uploaded one of the windows vm and port 3389 is open! It's showing port is open during nmap scan! I had also tested rdp in local network but it's not working after uploading to tryhackme! Any suggestions?

[eager fulcrum]

Work out what that error code means for your RDP client

Then we might be able to help

[tribal nimbus]

Cool! Let me check again!

[low ocean]

hello i have some trouble regarding the room joining can someone helpme?

[sharp bear]

what do you mean by trouble joining a room what room are you trying to join and what error is it giving you?

[low ocean]

its actually room joining situation i have asked for help earlier too but no on replied

the linux changellenges room i joined was turned to subscribed only and now it is showing in myroom section and getting counted as incomplete

so i got into another room name kenobi it was i guess subscribe able but now i can join so if same thing is going to happen then i won't be able to complete the current rooms i have added fully anytime

[sharp bear]

both kenobi and linux challenges are subscriber only the linux challenges is a known bug and you shouldnt be able to access it for right now they will just have to chill in your rooms until their is a patch out

you wont be able to complete them

[low ocean]

but kenobi is showing just now i can join right so that means i shouldn't join right?

[eager fulcrum]

No?

you can't join a subscriber room unless you are subscribed

[low ocean]

let me share a screenshot with you of the room kenobi showing me join room button

[eager fulcrum]

@deep trellis Kenobi is free now?

It says free room

[low ocean]

so if its going to happen like this how im suppose to know which room to join so that in coming days i can solve that

[eager fulcrum]

wat

It's a free room

So

[civic hedge]

hey guys. just curious, has anyone been able to get msfconsole working properly in a WSL Kali instance?

[sharp bear]

thats new

[eager fulcrum]

You can join it and complete it

[sharp bear]

hmm so it is free

[low ocean]

okay but it won't be like the problem im facing with linux challenges right?

the linux changellenges room i joined was turned to subscribed only and now it is showing in myroom section and getting counted as incomplete
@low ocean

[sharp bear]

linux challenges you shouldnt be able to join and its a known bug

[low ocean]

okay thank you so much for clearing my doubts

[delicate ridge]

Hello, I'm having slight problems connecting to machines I deploy. Started only today. When I ping machines after deploying they do not respond. I also run the thm-troubleshoot and it says I should ask for help on the platform

[deep trellis]

@deep trellis Kenobi is free now?
@eager fulcrum yeah for a week:)

[eager fulcrum]

Announce it then lol

[deep trellis]

It's for an experiment were running

So no need to atm:)

[celest sapphire]

@delicate ridge uhm try to move the ovpn to a path that doesn't contain chars like this{}?

[barren birch]

@delicate ridge Would you be in a country that blocks VPN connections by any mischance?

Egypt, China, North Korea, for example?

[delicate ridge]

Noo I'm in Ghana and I have been using the platform for over a month now.

it always worked.

[barren birch]

Ok, can you do sudo killall openvpn && sudo openvpn ~/CTF{me}/TryHackMe/config/themeihide.ovpn then screenshot the results please?

That error happens when it's failing to ping the server, despite all checks being successful

[eager fulcrum]

(My VPN is ded too, which is weird)

[barren birch]

Huh

And that guy in Koth...

Suddenly losing connection to the machine

Maybe the VPN is dead full stop?

[feral dock]

Mine's working(I think so) 🤔

[eager fulcrum]

@delicate ridge What VPN server?

[barren birch]

@vapid dawn are the VPN servers all active and Ok?

[eager fulcrum]

@reef agate what VPN server?

[delicate ridge]

@eager fulcrum openvpn

[eager fulcrum]

wat

No

What OpenVPN server?

[feral dock]

https://tryhackme.com/access -- you can check here

[reef agate]

checking @eager fulcrum

[eager fulcrum]

Or give us the first 2 octets of your VPN IP

[reef agate]

eu-vip-1

10.11

[vapid dawn]

oops

[eager fulcrum]

Ok I'm on EU 1

[vapid dawn]

should be all better now

[celest sapphire]

EU-Regular-1 and EU-VIP-1 works for me 🤔

[eager fulcrum]

Oof

[barren birch]

So, uh, a server died...

Right then...

Try it now @delicate ridge?

[reef agate]

@eager fulcrum Don't know what was going on but now after votes to reset, it works fine

[delicate ridge]

@eager fulcrum EU-Regular-1

@barren birch I'm trying to ping the machine again..

[barren birch]

Run the script again

[reef agate]

oh, sorry. I thought you were talking to be but you were talking to someone else hehe

or maybe not, I'm confused

[eager fulcrum]

The VPN server died

[reef agate]

ouch!

[delicate ridge]

@barren birch
The troubleshoot shows I'm connected to the tryhackme network but I'm still getting a 100% packet loss when I ping the deployed machine.😩

[eager fulcrum]

Reconnect

Also, some rooms do not reply to pings @delicate ridge

[delicate ridge]

@eager fulcrum
I'm doing an nmap scan as required by the room. When it is successful it's connected then.
I always thought the machine had to reply to the ping.

[eager fulcrum]

Machines don't have to reply to pings

If you have -Pn in your nmap command, it won't ping

[delicate ridge]

I don't have -Pn in the command

[eager fulcrum]

Then it's responding to pings now

Hey, can someone help me I wanted to dual boot my Kali with Windows 10. I installed Kali on a secondary hard drive. Ofcourse Kali is not showing up, so I can't boot into it. Do I have to install it on the same harddrive or can I somehow make it choose from what to boot?

Please don't just ping me when you need help

I answer questions when I can, and when I want to

I don't get paid to.

[naive dust]

When i wont install package i get this pkg problem

I wuld be wery thankfull if somebody can help me

[eager fulcrum]

@naive dust VPN and other technical questions related to TryHackMe

I was told to ask here for problem

Shuld i go to community help?

[eager fulcrum]

You were lied to.

No

Read the channel topics.

[naive dust]

Where i can get help

[eager fulcrum]

Read the channel topics.

[naive dust]

So i canot get help on this discord. Nice

[eager fulcrum]

You can. If you are asking for help in the correct channels

And not demanding help from me.

[barren birch]

@naive dust #general 🙂

[naive dust]

@barren birch thank you very much🙂

[naive dust]

@naive dust you need to use apt-get remove libgcc -8-dev happened to me because I am using Kali 2019.4

But doing so removes certain tools like hashcat I had to reinstall

@naive dust so if i do that i wuld have to apt-get install hascat or completly reinstall?

@naive dust thanks alot man🙂

@naive dust correct

But becareful because the update really messes things up

Thanks alot@naive dust

[sturdy umbra]

hey people, i could use some help in installing opencl

so that way i can use hashcat ^

i run kali on bare metal, so OpenCL doesn't come with the drivers like they do on windows

[toxic python]

I’ll save james some typing and tell you #general

As this isn’t THM specific 👀

[unreal sundial]

Is there any way to optimize the connection? Even a normal nmap scan is showing 7 minutes ETA

[eager fulcrum]

Change to a VPN server closer to you, get better internet, things like that

[unreal sundial]

On the closest server and have good internet

Anything else I can do?

[analog mesa]

I cannot log in to vpn, not sure what to do

[eager fulcrum]

@analog mesa You have multiple VPN connections running

You are not logging in to anything though

sudo killall openvpn and reconnect

[analog mesa]

am i doing it wrong? :/

[eager fulcrum]

it's connected.

What are you expecting now?

[eager fulcrum]

Ignore that

[analog mesa]

so this doesnt have to give me check marks?

oh okay

[eager fulcrum]

The access page is incredibly unreliable

[analog mesa]

thank you!!

[eager fulcrum]

The only reliable test for the VPN is accessing resources using it

Like the VM in the Welcome or OpenVPN rooms

@cosmic reef Thats a subscriber only room, you need to subscribe to access it

There's no way around it..
Unless someone finds one

[cosmic reef]

Oh damn, I assumed all of them were... free.. sorry, how can I identify such rooms?

such paid rooms?

[lilac ocean]

in Hacktivites there is a filter option to show subscription only and Free rooms.

[shy shore]

for EXAMPLE

[cosmic reef]

@shy shore thanks, but that appears only if I am actually able to click on the room 😄

@shy shore free users cant open subscription only rooms to see that

Hey guys i got some java malware on my pc, ive found the jar files directory by using jcmd, however when i try to go to it through file explorer the folder does not exist. I've also turned on hidden files and folders and havent had any luck. I didnt know where else to ask so if someone could help me id appreciate it thanks.

[rigid oxide]

Hey! Sorry to hear that, we don't really provide support outside of items related directly to TryHackMe. I highly recommend getting antivirus setup as that should take care of a lot of it

[upbeat remnant]

I did use an antivirus nothing came up im sorry for interrupting, but thanks anyways. Do you know where else i could ask

[rigid oxide]

If you're in the states GeekSquad isn't terrible for things like that

[lilac ocean]

Not in this discord. (But Malwarebytes is also a good software to use)

[upbeat remnant]

Malware bytes is what i used, and im not from the US so i dont know what that is.

[eager fulcrum]

@fading sigil #room-help was the right place. The most likely issue is you didn't load it correctly.

Hmm. I would like to believe I loaded it correctly, but I am human..so maybe not. I will keep it in community-help. Thanks.

Make sure your system time is correct

If you are in a country that blocks OpenVPN like Egypt, China, North Korea etc, don't be.

And check your network connectivity like it says

[formal kraken]

i'm in Egypt already ..

but it's connected after hours

[eager fulcrum]

Your government blocks OpenVPN, there is nothing we can do to fix that

[formal kraken]

ok thanks

[old fiber]

is the server down?

for the THM VM?

[sharp bear]

I would say the probability of that happening is about 0.0003%

[eager fulcrum]

There is no server for the THM VM

[old fiber]

it worked now

[sharp bear]

why do you think it is down?

[eager fulcrum]

So it's actually 0 percent

[sharp bear]

the only way it’s down is if tryhackme is down

[old fiber]

idk it said 'unable to connect to the server, try contacting your sys admin'

for past 10 mins or so

it's working now

If I'm a subscriber and I see this list of servers does this mean that there is only one VIP server and it's EU-based?

Yes, but next week there is a VIP server coming in the US ( @vapid dawn at least I am pretty sure?)

[safe briar]

@deep trellis Oh, awesome. Hopefully it's in New Orleans, haha.

[solar geyser]

is there a OSCP path on tryhackme?

[safe briar]

@solar geyser Yeah, it's not called that anymore though. I think it's Offensive Pentesting.

I'm not sure if the two are related, but I got banned from the Discord earlier today and now I can't connect to the VPN. It's real weird. I've regenerated multiple configs with different servers and I've tried both CLI OpenVPN and GUI OpenVPN.

[barren birch]

It shouldn't be related 🙂
What error is it giving you?

[safe briar]

Just the red X for connected and I can't access anything.

[barren birch]

Try doing it with the CLI instead?

[solar geyser]

oh ok yes I saw the offensive pentesting one

[safe briar]

Weird, for some reason only US-West-Regular works.

Yeah, I can only connect with US-West-Regular for some reason.

Hello, I have a problem on verification, I sent the verify <token> thing, but nothing has happened , someone knows why?

oh , I forgot , I need the discord server verification

[lilac ocean]

@quick root the syntax is !verify DiscordToken
You can find that discord token in your THM profile >> others tab

if you are using <> then dont

[quick root]

lol Thanks man , I am dumb, I was using the wrong syntax

sorry to bother , but now the bot does says that he cannot find the token: "I'm sorry but I couldn't find the specified token!"

[icy yew]

Double checked?

[quick root]

and I am literally copypasting the THM profile >> other tab where it says your discord token is : ************************

triple checked

[shy shore]

is Burp CA cert already installed in browser Kali machine..??

hello , and I have another prolem, first one the discord bot is not working because it does not recognize my discord token and the second one is Putty , because I doesn't accept my authentication Hostname ( It does say that my permission is denied (public key) "if this make any sense"

and I am trying the private key and the public key moreover

so any advice is welcomed

@quick root can you share the exact syntax you are using for discord bot?

!verify abcdefgh

network restarting has been done several times

trying other 2 options

okay it loaded

but i lost my streak though on my public profile it shows i have been consistent for past 15days but the streak shows just 1 right now

[celest sapphire]

the 24h from the last question might've passed in the mean time

[true wharf]

okay so, its 24hours

😭😭😭

[vernal ruin]

Everytime I connect with the vpn, this happens. I have already tried changing the server , killing the process and such

[rose zinc]

anyone knows how to get a connection when using a VM

mines still disconected

[vernal ruin]

make sure you are connection the vpn inside the vm, not on the host @rose zinc

[rose zinc]

noted, thankyou.@vernal ruin

TryHackMe

Learn how to look for duplicate instance of your OpenVPN connection.

• Step 1

Make sure you have setup your VPN connection correctly https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn

• Step 2

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

• Step 3

If there's more than one line (that don't start with "grep" or sudo), do the following steps

• Step 4

Type sudo killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter

• Step 5

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

[vernal ruin]

done that

I will try to force kill them now

yep that worked 👍

[sand sundial]

So, openvpn is giving me a 10.2.x.x with a 255.255.128.0 subnet mask, and the server deployed by the room I'm in is in 10.10.x.x
So my machine isn't connecting to the same network (from my understanding).

[vernal ruin]

No they wont be same. Rooms dont use the same internal IP for security reasons @sand sundial

everything is allright if you are not facing some actual errors

[sand sundial]

Well, I can't scan the test IP with nmap or even ping it.

And I guess I don't remember what my VPN IPs were yesterday to notice that.

[celest sapphire]

if you look in openvpn logs it says that it adds a route to 10.10.x.x subnet

/usr/bin/ip route add 10.10.0.0/16 metric 1000 via 10.X.0.1

[sand sundial]

but /access shows I'm connected just fine

[celest sapphire]

not every machine responds to pings

try scanning it with the ping check disabled

[sand sundial]

right, and nmap -nP brings back nothing

[vernal ruin]

IP doesn't change unless you change the config

[celest sapphire]

-Pn, not -nP afaik

[feral dock]

right, and nmap -nP brings back nothing
@sand sundial The correct flag is -Pn.

[sand sundial]

....whoops

[toxic python]

Access is unreliable FYI

[celest sapphire]

iirc it got fixed recently it wasn't

@vapid dawn connection status on /access was fixed right?

[sand sundial]

Working just fine now lol

[vapid dawn]

no it's something we're still looking into @celest sapphire 🙂

[celest sapphire]

oh ok

[toxic python]

Taking those celebratory emojis off your earlier reply 😤

[celest sapphire]

understandable

[royal cedar]

Good afternoon all!!! So, I'm new to try hackme, and ran into some issues with "Blue" and "Ice". Long story short, run the exploit get a "but no session was created" error.

[toxic python]

#room-help @royal cedar

your payload is most likely incorrect

[royal cedar]

using windows/http/icecast_header for Ice in stream right now. Still not working right.

[abstract stag]

It was replaced with Blaster.
@eager fulcrum This was for Advent of Cyber. Is Day 13 still completable as ||Chrome|| is removed?

[eager fulcrum]

Hi, yep. It was replaced with blaster so the exploitation is much more simple. Retro was complicated with the addition of ||chrome|| leading to intentional weirdness from dark

If you're looking at a writeup, use the ones on Blaster

[sturdy umbra]

@royal cedar is your issue fixed?

[abstract stag]

@eager fulcrum Cheers mate. Before looking at a writeup, can I have a couple hints? Can post if community-hints if more appropriate.

[eager fulcrum]

I can't give you them, but yeah if you ask there you can get a hint most likely

[abstract stag]

👍

[royal cedar]

@sturdy umbra sort of, I reached to someone on the #room-help line. They said I should change the payload, based off what they had seen on my stream. Then suggested I go through the Metasploit room to get used to using the tool. So, I'm going to circle back to Ice and blue after going through that room.

[sturdy umbra]

Very nice. Good luck!

[naive dust]

Hey I got OpenVPN to run on Kali Linux but the Access keeps showing up with the X. Initialization is successful, just not able to connect to the boxes.

[toxic python]

@naive dust access page notoriously unreliable.

[naive dust]

I heard

[toxic python]

Try redownloading the config pack

[naive dust]

But either way I can't get into the boxes

I just did

[toxic python]

Which room?

[naive dust]

Now TLS handshake failed

[toxic python]

Yea then redownload

[naive dust]

The Basic Pentesting room

ok

Redownloaded it. Initialization Sequence Successful but the red X is still there.

[toxic python]

Red x on the access page?

Ignore that

If sequence successful you’re good to go

Try to spin up a machine and ping it

Or do the openvpn room to ensure you’re connected

[naive dust]

I opened the machine and put in the ip in the search bar. Takes forever to load

Like 3 of them

However, I was on the web browser and one of the machines did actually load.

[toxic python]

You should wait like 2 minutes after the machine deploys

Cuz it needs to spin up

[naive dust]

I did the browser thing this afternoon and it spun up instantly

[toxic python]

Are you a subscriber? It will be slower if not. Shouldn’t be as bad as you’re describing though

If you do the openvpn room does that machine work relatively quickly for you?

[naive dust]

I am

ah shoot I just closed my VM

Firefox can't establish a connection

The ping works

And yes I am connected

[toxic python]

Awesome!

Ya just give it some time to boot up sometimes

[naive dust]

I mean connected to the VPN but I still can't access the machines

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 10.10.83.128

I searched "my ip" on the firefox browser and it's saying my home ip. Initialization sequence success but my ip is still the same and the machines are unavailable.

[toxic python]

Are you connected to the vpn on your host OS or your VM?

[naive dust]

VM

(Kali Linux Oracle Box)

[toxic python]

Can I see both a screenshot of the openvpn running and then you running ip a in a separate terminal

[naive dust]

Yes, holdon.

I guess it might've worked since it's in maintenance?

Usually it's unresponsive

[toxic python]

Yea looks like you’re connected. The site might be pushing changes not sure

[sharp bear]

nah if you ever see an undergoing maintenance page in a room it’s intended and is part of the challenge

[naive dust]

Alright it works now. Thanks! I spent like 3 days figuring this out

[toxic python]

Awesome!

[ripe lintel]

Hi I'm trying to connect to the vpn on my mac, and I've gone through all the trouble shooting options and still cant get it to work. When i run sudo openvpn <config file> I get a successful output but I'm still not conncted on the site and when I check my ip with curl ifconfig.me It has not changed. Any help would be appreciated

[tulip jacinth]

Hiii for the LearnLinux room I can not access to host shiba1

it said that "port 22: Connection timed out" when I tried to ssh

here's a screenshot!

[cloud dirge]

Can you ping the server?

[tulip jacinth]

yes! wait a sec

sorry for the late reply!

[sturdy umbra]

@tulip jacinth Hey! I don't think you're connected to the VPN.

Do you know how to connect?

https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn

@tulip jacinth :)

[white mirage]

https://tryhackme.com/room/linuxctf down for anyone else? the machine starts and are pingable but cant SSH and inbrowser botx cant connect

EDIT: try for 10min and ask for help. then it starts working :p

[tulip jacinth]

hey I'm sorry I didn't reply soon! It's 11 here already! Thank you for the help I'll check it first thing in the morning ! @sturdy umbra

[sturdy umbra]

Sure thing, I assume it will fix your problems. If not, feel free to ask again or ping me! 😄

[hot spruce]

I'm unable to login into my kali machine, it's saying credentials are invalid can someone help? I used
username- root
password- Tryh4ckm3
Though i can ssh into my machine

[celest sapphire]

Please don't spam the same message in every channel.

Where does it say that your credentials are invalid?

[leaden token]

just re-deploy the machine

[cloud dirge]

Make sure caps lock isnt on? Try typing the password out on your main machine and copy and paste it into the login box?

[tacit comet]

hi guys, i am having some trouble connecting to the vpn

i cant access the machine on the web browser nor ping it

wait i am stupid

i can't ping the machin on this room

all good

[sturdy umbra]

@deep trellis Hello, I see you're online and wanted to ask you if it was possible for you to change my username? I was told it could be done by you.

[leaden token]

it can be also done by emailing [e-mail]

(and it's better to do that way)

[sturdy umbra]

Ah, I can do that if this is a hassle.

Righto, I will do that.

Also, if someone replies to your feedback, are you just supposed to reply to the email as usual?

[leaden token]

not sure about that

[sturdy umbra]

Oh well.

I'll email the support. Thank you.

[fickle charm]

Is anybody not able to access the in browser machine?

[naive dust]

hello guys when did the tcp come to the vpn ...? we can't connect it over udp at egypt

[leaden token]

not yet

you can pretty easily bypass it (if it’s not illegal of course)

[sturdy umbra]

Hmm. what's the deal with TCP in egypt?

Or UDP, whatever it may be.

[leaden token]

i think they are just blocking UDP connections

[sturdy umbra]

Weird.

[leaden token]

on the government level

[sturdy umbra]

Banning all ISPS from accepting them or seomthing, surely.

something*

[candid abyss]

hello guys, im trying to google but i cant find some proper explanation on following instruction from github tmux plugin manager:

Add new plugin to ~/.tmux.conf with set -g @plugin '...'
Press prefix + I (capital i, as in Install) to fetch the plugin.

I added plugin to needful file, but i dont understand what it wants from me in second step

how do I press "prefix" + I ?

[sturdy umbra]

I beleive the prefix it refers to is (Control + B)

I dont use tmux, but funny enough I just did the RP room today.

[candid abyss]

let me try

does nothing for me

[naive dust]

@leaden token how can i bypass the block

[sturdy umbra]

I dont have enough expperience with tmux, very sorry!

I'm sure someone will help you soon.

[candid abyss]

i just found some video, skipped it to where the guy tries it, you are correct!, it just doesnt work for me so Maybe its not installed correctly

thank you mate

[sturdy umbra]

Of course!

Happy to try and help where I can.

[celest sapphire]

This channel is for tryhackme related tech support, please ask in #general as it's not related

[dark whale]

I'm hoping someone can help me. I have subscribed however am having extreme trouble deploying a Kali machine in a browser. It keeps asking for my username and password however all the username and passwords I know dont work.

Is there anyone that can suggest what I can do?

Okay thank you

[toxic python]

Try root:Tryh4ckm3 @dark whale

[cursive drift]

Is the 'Get Reciept' feature on the website working? I was a subscriber (now cancelled) and am trying to generate a receipt for my subscribed months however the page is telling me I have 'no transation history' I have the emails saying I am subbed but I need the invoices

[vapid dawn]

the get receipt feature is only for monthly subscriptions

and not paypal or etc

[cursive drift]

I was a monthly sub via recurring bank transfer for April-May but selecting those months doesn't give me anything

[cursive drift]

Is there a way I can contact support for these invoices?

[deep trellis]

Is there a way I can contact support for these invoices?
@cursive drift Hi there, yes email [e-mail] and we can have them generated for you

[cursive drift]

@cursive drift Hi there, yes email [e-mail] and we can have them generated for you
@deep trellis Many thanks, I'll shoot an email over now 🙂

[normal garden]

Having trouble accessing the kali machine in browser, I've restarted and cleared cookies, logged out and logged back in

[deep trellis]

Having trouble accessing the kali machine in browser
@normal garden wait 30 seconds and then click "Reconnect"

[normal garden]

@deep trellis It automatically tries to reconnect every 15 seconds, but fails to each time

[deep trellis]

How long has it been up?

[normal garden]

I just started it. But if finally connected. For some reason, if I waited through 3 15 second reconnect rounds, then hit reconnect myself, as you suggested it launched.

[deep trellis]

Weird, thanks for letting me know.

I will take a look into it over the next week

[safe briar]

Is there a way to leave all rooms?

I joined like 45 rooms that I wanted to do, but I want to leave them and follow the paths.

[feral dock]

You don't have to leave rooms to follow a path, but you could write a simple script that uses the api to leave all the rooms for you.

[safe briar]

oh I didnt even think of that. That's a good idea.

Thanks

Yeah I know I dont have to leave them. Im just OCD and want to.

Honestly I can probably do it manually in the time it would take to set up an api script.

@feral dock Do you know why I am unable to leave any of the RP rooms?

[feral dock]

Does it return any errors?

[safe briar]

@feral dock No, just Leave isn't in the dropdown.

And I am definitely in them.

[feral dock]

Hmm, yeah that's interesting 🤔

[safe briar]

I have Writeups where Leave should be.

And its not that Ive left them and it hasnt refreshed. I have only the RP rooms left.

Ill try logging out and back in

[feral dock]

Yeah, please wait, I've informed an admin, and they'll look into it.
