@sturdy umbra
hey!! I'm back
I followed the guide
but I couldn't connect to vpn
π¦
but I couldn't connect to vpn
@tulip jacinth I think you need a space betweenopenvpnand the path to your connection file --sudo openvpn /path/to/file
@cursive drift you are a life saver mannnn
damnnnn
im stupid lmao xD i've been tryna to figure this out for almost an hour
lmao thank youu
No worries it's an easy thing to do!
@safe briar Hey, the admins are looking into the issue, meanwhile please use another browser, it's a display issue on Chrome.
@feral dock I'm not using Chrome.
That's interesting, what browser are you using?
@feral dock Firefox Dev
It works for me on Firefox dev π€
I have it fully up-to-date too.
i have a problem
You... gonna tell us what it is?..
See #room-help @barren birch
Ah, I see
@mint willow are you using the VPN file in your Kali machine only? Or are you using it in both Kali and Windows?
only kali
Are you closing your VPN window or leaving it open?
Are you closing the window once you connect?
No, of course, I don't.
because to solve the machines
do you want connect to anydesk ?
I am trying
i constantly try
but no session was created.
...
Is anyone there ?
:/
@mint willow if someone can help you they will. No need to repeatedly ask.
The machine works fine. We aren't currently sure what is going on specifically. Can you try another room and see if you have issues?
I've tested it a few times since you brought the issue up, and it works.
As in, can you check the time on your VM and make sure that it's right?
Look at syncing it, if possible
how can i did it
@feral dock Yeah man, it's literally only the RP rooms. I just joined and did the tmux one and now I can't leave that one either, haha.
@feral dock If it was some kind of browser issue wouldn't you expect it to happen with each room? Maybe it has something to do with the DOM and the fact there is a : so it is making it think you are somewhere else.
@feral dock I'm going to check it out with Chrome and see what happens.
@feral dock Oh, one thing I forgot to say which might be relevant is that I am using Firefox Dev on OSX.
can you @ him one more time, I don't think he got the message π
just here to help
I synchronized the time but still not working
@mint willow Try setting the payload to "windows/meterpreter/reverse_https" possibly?
Sorry for intruding.. this one worked for me whereas the other one didn't
That's not the one I typed..
*just as a contrast
Just move onto another room
@drowsy spruce You need to subscribe to use that f eature.
Says so in the top right corner.
@deep trellis this isn't meant to let non-subscribers deploy in the first place, right?
@deep trellis this isn't meant to let non-subscribers deploy in the first place, right?
@barren birch New users get 1 free hour deploy to "trial" the Kali machine.:) Thanks for letting me know though aha
Oh.
Ooh, fair enough π
Something might have gone wrong there then, connectivity wise ^^
I think its deployed with much less resources, so it takes longer to boot.
hmm
Will take a look
how do i find the ip and id of a website
@atomic spindle the ip should be the IP of the machine. By ID do you mean hidden pages or if port 80 is opened on the machine?
@twin timber Usually rockyou.txt isn't stored in that path.
Is this the correct path for sure?
yeah but i extracted to /tmp
Ok.
Remove the -t 4 and add it to the end.
Also, allow up to ten seconds for Hydra to start.
yeah working when i put rockyou file in another directory
I assume your issue is resolved?
Also, next time, if it's room related, ask in #room-help :)
ok sure thanks
@hereIsn't there any way to upload 32bit linux in tryhackme upload?
Also is there any way to combine multiple vms under one room ?
place them in different tasks
but i don't think there's a way to launch them at the same time
@feral dock yeah bro, not being able to leave those rooms had to do with the :. They removed the RP: part of the room titles and now I can leave them. Do I get a bug bounty? lol
To claim a bug bounty it has to be more of a bug than just a site error it has to allow you to do something that youβre not supposed to however I donβt think thereβs any kind of scope or guidelines set out soooo
@sharp bear God, you are dense. It was a joke.
@sharp bear Will you please not reply to me anymore?
I wasnβt being dense just want to make sure you actually knew that you wouldnβt receive a bug bounty for that
Guys, please be civil.
for reference, no need to ping someone twice in a row either, once is enough lol
Can't connect to my in browser machine. problem has persisted for 2 days. please help.
@deep trellis should be able to help with that. Do you have the IP address of the machine?
I can get it
I'm sure he'll need it!
nvm, problem seems to have resolved itself. that was weird
I'm stuck on the task 4 of VulnUniversity
Am I supposed to do anything besides upload, and navigate to the script? I have netcat running and I changed the ip address and the port.
Can't NMAP on Basic Pentesting room, any idea?
Might seem like silly question but if i was to create a VM specifically for THM would i need to download a new VPN everytime or just run the same one each time?
Might seem like silly question but if i was to create a VM specifically for THM would i need to download a new VPN everytime or just run the same one each time?
@south steppe good question, I used always the same for different rooms with any problems but somehow my nmap is not working.
Yeah i use the browser one at work but would love just to have a main VM built specifically i can keep up to date and files saved etc on.
Maybe @deep trellis and @vapid dawn could answer?
@south steppe you can use the same vpn configuration continously for different rooms / on a persistent vm
@toxic burrow what's the problem more specifically?
let me use my kali machine and let you know guys.
@sturdy wigeon #room-help π
okie dokie
My Kali machine not working any suggestions ?
gonna have to be way more specific and also move over to #general as this is thm specific
@toxic python THM specific = here.
oops
was supposed to be isn't*
and i realize he mightve been talking about his in browser machine

My streak seems to have reset even though i've done questions today?
@pearl jasper Oh really, whats your THM username? Let me take a look.
zaproxy already installed in online kali??
@shy shore not just now. It is in the new one
ETA??
When I finish styling it. Soon, hopefully. Just got the last stages of a Node server to finish up first.
Hello, I have a question on the openvpn.
I have downloaded it yet i am not understanding the basic of it bc im dumb ;-;, and when i goto login for import profile i put my profile link and information to logion to my account through open vpn and i put the port as 22 and checked the import autologin and connect after import. Can someone help me on how to make a profile on open VPN or how to login?
are u on linux?
no i am on windows
are u running the openvpn gui as administrator?
Yes
Think you have the wrong app (:
do you have the openvpn config file?
oh lol
Ah nice one @zealous veldt π
ya?
Question
like with the vpn
lets say ur playing a game and some dude says hes gonna pull ur ip
when u connect to the vpn does it change ur ip ingame?
ah
but out in the world no
bc in gta people kick me from the server but i rejoin and disconnect everyone
lvl 12 noobs lvl 200
so if you curl ifconfig.me, itll show ur actual ip
oh
wait, i guess you got the meaning wrong....
Im a dumb
tryhackme's vpn is just to connect to their servers,
Ah
@wicked ibex im still learning too
im only use to coding like
snake games
and discord bots
so hacking is like brandnew
basically, it connects to their servers so that you can access their machines
yeah
so, if you want vpn for that purpose , i guess you should do a little more net-surfing
go to access on the left hand side
i wanted to try it
so hacking is like brandnew
@wicked ibex may i advice, its possible to do this on windows, but youre gonna be missing out. Id suggest getting a kali linux virtual machine or other distro if you prefer that
@golden crag I have tried to download kali linux yet evertime i do it dosent run correctly
try onto a usb?
what kind of error are you getting?
live booting?
whenever i am doing ssh to the machine, the vpn connection gets reset. I know the final solution but stuck because of this
i tried to download it like 5 months ago
I havent tried it since i deleted it bc i couldnt get it to work
@upbeat palm can i see the log?
I havent tried it since i deleted it bc i couldnt get it to work
@wicked ibex there are plenty of great guides online on installing kali linux as a virtual machine, on for example virtualbox
I have virtual box
@zealous veldt
recently i tried it on virtualbox and im getting black screen constantly, so i just gave up XD
@wicked ibex there are plenty of great guides online on installing kali linux as a virtual machine, on for example virtualbox
@golden crag I can try to download it but everytime i download the newest one its always diffrent from the actual person teach how to download it
@upbeat palm yes its all fine, you are connected to THM's network
yes but those differences shouldnt be that big i think?
do you have your iso with you? or have you deleted it?
if you want i can always run you though it
@upbeat palm yes its all fine, you are connected to THM's network
@zealous veldt I am connected to VPN but whenever i connect to the CTF machine, the vpn connection gets reset
@upbeat palm do you have multiple instances of openvpn running?
@zealous veldt no
I wanted to get into hacking bc someone hacked my account like a year ago
And i spent quite some money on the acc
like $300 or something on just items
But not really to get it back i quit the game i feel as it'd be intresting
to learn idk how to explain
yea
but dont use it for black hat purposes
i wont
I wanna learn bc it seems to be im usally the one to get hacked
bc someone hacked my gmail and spotify last time
and kept changing the username
@upbeat palm do you have multiple instances of openvpn running?
well, id suggets getting better passwords, and making sure you dont have malware on your computer
@golden crag yeah
cause getting hacked that much is not normal
I have malawarebytes
like how i say, there seems something big wrong thenb
sure. start with downloading the latest iso from the offical kali site
and make sure virtualbox is up to date
wait let me finish this question first
still figuring this one out
i dont see a flag ;-;
it needs an awnser
wait
is it openvpn room?
yes
oh my bad
its good
okay so you must have a machine ip correct?
yes
Private ip or server
the machine's ip
yes\
ya so, you see the ip address part?
yes
I was once dumber than you
congo @wicked ibex !
thank u
your welcome!
whats the next room
u right
remember that, and never give up
Uh...
@zealous veldt That doesn't make sense
(You know Step doesn't start with A, right?)
F.A.I.L and First Step in Learning?
LOL
this correct? https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
@wicked ibex that would do it
Got it
There are lots of guides online
yesh
do you wanna walk me though kali?
The biggest skill in hacking is research and learning new things for yourself
try harder XD
anyone having issues with in browser machines? cant get it to work tonight.
So try really hard to get it down π
well last time i did this i downloaded soemthing and then i clicked the wrong button and ruined the 3 hour download
π \
i just got boom-boomed
No one having issues with in browser machines?
not yet
@wicked ibex are you using virtualbox?
Yes
bruh, is it .ova? i feel it is 7zip
its zip
which link did you use?
so downloading the wrong noe
yes
whats your system specs?
64
then use 64
you are using virtualbox, not vmware
I said im using VB
yes
no!
@wicked ibex listen you are downloading the wrong one,
ill give you direct link check ur pms..
ok i stoped downloading the one im origonally downloading\
@upbeat palm do you have multiple instances of openvpn running?

@deep trellis its done, thanks
Hey all... total noob to THM and decided to start from the ground up. I'm trying to connect to my machine using putty and the connection keeps timing out. Checked out the putty website and they say its an issue with the server. Any suggestions from folk here?
@worn hearth iw had the same last few days. Just wait some minutes and it will be up
@fierce sonnet what machine are you trying to use putty to connect to? If youβre deploying a vulnerable machine from a room you probably have to hack your way in
Youβre supposed to use your personal attack machine to explore the machine
Check out the OpenVpn room first and thatβll teach you how to connect!
Well its just a machine for learning linux in the beginner path... but i'll go and take a look on site thank you @toxic python π
I believe youβre correct that you have to ssh into that machine. Make sure youβre connected to the VPN on whichever machine youβre sshing from. If youβre using putty on the host OS vpn has to be on host OS. If youβre using putty on a VM vpn has to be on on the VM @fierce sonnet
Fantastic thank you so much
Heya
So I am having an issue connect ot my browser VM
Whenever I try to connect it says I do not have permission to access it
I was using it fine about 10 minutes a go
Don't know if anyone is able to help?
I've also restarted the machine a few times and still nothing

@boreal maple Bug found and fixed, terminate -> re-deploy and it will be fixed.
Thank you!
Just to double check, let me know:)
All good now
hey all, I am pretty new to THM. I just wanted to the the TMUX in the Learning Path. I am subscribed and deployed a machine, but I can nowhere find the login credentials for that linux server I deployed, am I missing something? In the other Linux Labs, the credentials were always provided
Where have you deployed a machine from?
from inside this tmux environment
I clicked on task one, expanded it and clicked on deploy there
Ah so I think its expected you do the tmux exercises on your own machine.
Ah, the attached VM to that seems irrelevant to the room? It's DVWA. You need to use tmux on your own machine (:
Ah okay I see. Thank you both of you! π
Its used to scan a machine in task #11
Ah yes - my bad!
@rigid oxide do you think in your tmux room, you can remove the VM and replace task #11 with perhaps scanning another host?
Thanks Skidy

hm im having some issues visiting a webpage on day 7 advent of cyber
Hi everyone, i'm having trouble connecting to the THM servers i think. When i try to ssh into shiba1 from PuTTY and CMD it says connection timed out and wont let me in. I suspected the OpenVPN wasnt working and it isn't, after trying to get a connection i still can't get it to work. I have access to the Kali machine but everytime i try to boot it up it seems to not be able to connect at all. Is there an issue on THM's end atm? My internet connection is as fine as it always seems to be rn. I have been able to connect in the past so i really don't know what has changed. Is there a work around for this?
Forgive me if this is a simple mistake as I am new to this, but I have run the openvpn on my VM and got the "Initialization Sequence Complete" but it still says that I am not connected? What step do I take from here?
I would trust the message of "Initialization sequence complete" more then the access page @vocal fractal
The access page isn't all that reliable (:
See if you can communicate with instances, etc
Ayy good stuff - have fun!
@zealous yoke I have the same issue, but where can I find my virtual ip address?
ip a show tun0
Hi, i'm relativly new around here. when i lauch a kali machine it is expected that I access tryhackme over that machine?
or the kali machine is a substitute for deploying machines inside rooms?
kali machine is used for completing the rooms
so are still required to deploy machines inside rooms

@leaden token im on mac and i get -bash: ip: command not found
are you connected to VPN?
(also it's not recommended to use mac for hacking/solving rooms)
im getting this when i run the command Tue Jun 30 15:01:05 2020 Initialization Sequence Completed
Yea I know but its all I have
no space for vm
ip a gives me the same command not found, and if i run ifconfig i see a utun0
then it should be fine, i guess
Hello, when I run nmap -p- on a host over vpn it is taking hours to complete. Is it expected?
ok, most of the time is just sitting idle for the nmap report to come..

this is for Steel Mountain box.
You get a 404 when you try to download a config for one of the new VIP servers.
@vapid dawn
oh, cool. I'm gonna retry. Thanks.
It worked!
Hello Guys, I have problem with RDP access to Windows PrivEsc box which is created by Tib3rius. I have used rdesktop, remmina and xfreerdp, everywhere is same issue. It hangs for while and then connections is dropped. I have tried to switch to different VPN server and problem still remains the same.
I'm bringing my netcat shell into the foreground using the command, "stty raw -echo;fg" and my tmux session gets hung every single time, tried running it as root and as my user but nothing seems to be fixing it . Any ideas?
issue has been resolved, managed to RDP into the box
@slender ore semi-serious, have you tried not using tmux?
Yeah, i tried it without tmux and I was still getting the same issue
is it any specific room?
Forgive me if this is a simple mistake as I am new to this, but I have run the openvpn on my VM and got the "Initialization Sequence Complete" but it still says that I am not connected? What step do I take from here?
@vocal fractal What OpenVPN server are you connected to?
Any idea what this is? I get this when i try to connect.
It was working fine a few hours back!
oh i thought it was just me, i cant connect via openvpn anymore, it was working just a couple hours ago
but now it just errors out, if i regenerate and redownload, same thing it errors out
Exactly!!
lol
my errors are different but yknow

Yeah same!!
how responcive are the admins you think?
What VPN server is this for? I'd recommend switching and regenerating from another for time being π
yeah ive tried that, its the same for EU 1 and 2
EU 1 and 2 for me too
I've flagged it (:
much obliged
Changed to EU 2
I can only suggest trying every other server until you get a good config atm I'm afraid
Worked!!
I'm getting an FTP 501 error on brainstormand can't seem to resolve.
oh really? damn let me go back and try it again then
Once you regen after your first profile you can switch between them without regenerating (:

@prisma hornet Switch servers (anything that isn't EU-Regular-1)

Any idea what this is? I get this when i try to connect.
@raw cove Switch openVPN servers to anything that is not EU-Regular-1
regenerated and everything
If you re-generate and re-download it will work again
@deep trellis Thanks!!
oh now its telling me i cant switch server because im already connected when im very much not lol
it said 'already connected cant switch server'
but i seem to be able to now even though i still cant connect lol
I'm confused on what you mean?
on the website, when you switch server, you normally get the 'hooray you switched server' message with the green font etc
but instead i got a red font message saying something like 'you are already connected, cant switch server', when going from eu1 to 2
Whats your THM username?
Psychonaut
Refresh your /access page
You should now be on the new server.
Regenerate and redownload your file.
ok there you go it works now, that was strange, this file was about 8000 bytes but all the ones downloaded previously were about 2000
Yeah, thats a good sign. It means your certificate has been included in the file.
Happy hacking:)
cheers pal
@vocal fractal What OpenVPN server are you connected to?
@deep trellis it was US West VIP but its working now!
Yeah we took them offline earlier but they're backup now.

Hey I'm having a problem. I did try the "Welcome" room in the TryHackMe website and it tells me that I can deploy a machine whenever I need.
However, when I try another level I need a Linux environement to work with and since I am actually installing Linux on my PC (I don't have it yet), I need to borrow a machine but I don't know how to do it!
If anyone could help that'd be great!
The machines you can deploy in rooms are for use for the rooms. They are not the same as needing a Linux environment to run commands.
Example, the N-Map room will have you doing stuff to a room deployed machine, but you will either need a VM, hard installation, or the subscriber Kali box to run the N-Map commands.
is there a way to check if the machines are having problems? or do i just assume its slow?
@river mirage Advent of Cyber isn't the fastest room on the site.
Only some of the tasks require time to complete.
I went through the same issue.
@flint hawk Ok, thanks for the answer. This means that I'll have to wait for Linux to install on my PC, right?
Correct. In the future if you decide to subscribe to THM, one of the benefits is a THM-hosted Kali box as well. @naive dust
I donβt know much about the financials so that isnβt a question I can answer.
@flint hawk I'd like to do it but I'm not a major yet so I don't have any means to pay :c

@ancient abyss Hi there, which server are on you? Did you manage to solve the issue?
Is anyone else having any trouble connecting to the in-browser machine? I've cleared the cache and tried other browsers, but every time I tried to access it, it asks me to log in and says the details aren't correct.
It's working now.
Hey guys, is the US East server down?
Hey guys, is the US East server down?
@mystic rapids Its up and running:)
silly question how to you fix a empty boot directory
this doesnβt seem to be directly vpn or THM related so I would point you to #general for help
room toolsrus is consistently crashing, tried four separate times and it only stays up for maybe 3 minutes
4 times = terminating and re deploying the server
@ancient abyss Hi there, which server are on you? Did you manage to solve the issue?
@deep trellis I was on EU VIP 1 for the first time, didnt worked
yes EUVIP1
no I have not solved it yet
I'm in Ottawa, not sure which VIP server is the best for me yet?
im pretty sure it was less then 24h ago since I last answered a question π¦

@pulsar crater I have found that too!
Same
i'm excercising the metasploit practice. I got every thing confugure right
but when i run the run -j command it give this error
and also when i try to kill a job it return with this
does anyone know what's going on?
Is this related to THM or is it an issue only with Metasploit
idk, i can still ping the box ip
i think i'm gonna re-init metaspoit see how it goes
ok after i restart msf and execute i was able to establish connection but for a fract of second
then it died
type sessions and jobs return that no session or job is currently running
Have you tried on another machine to make sure it is that one?
i don't have another computer
i tried terminate the box
and initiating another one, and run exploit on that new one
the same
What Os are you running
Ubuntu 18.04
And thatβs not VMware right?
real machine
Have you tried reinstalling
Sorry my knowledge is limited Iβm waiting for someone smarter to step in
oh my, reinstall msf might be a hassel but if needed
its ok, i'm really apreciate your help
If youβve googled the error and that hasnβt worked itβs probably the only option (to reinstall metasploit)
tbh i don't think its the framework. There might be something else
Have you tried any of these payloads:
βIf you are working on a Windows machine and are using Metasploit, it is currently defaulting to reverse_https payloads, which will likely not work. Please set your payload manually for the time being to one of the following:
windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
windows/shell/reverse_tcp
If one of these do not work, we will be glad to help assist further.β
i'm using the windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
Itβs definitely an issue with your machine/settings as it works for me, Iβve not come across the error yet
idk if the target is vulnerable to other 2
there might be because of my network config
because i live in an apartment. There is a firewall/router block between my home router and the world
i don't have acess to that as it belong to the building manager and that might blocking the reverse shell perhaps
Itβs definitely an issue with your machine/settings as it works for me, Iβve not come across the error yet
@bronze vale holy cow i did it, turnout i had to set the rport to 8000
but why 8000? i used 4444 before as thats what my machine is listening on
i though listening on my machine and the target need to be the same
Oh
Itβs because youβre running the exploit on port 8000 since that has ice cast
And youβre listening on port 4444
So the exploit will return back to the port youβre listening on
ahhhh, what if i change the listening port on my machine to another number like 3000
will it still work?
I believe so
there are 2 set of ip and ports. one is on icecast and the other one on multi/handler payload, both carry my IP and port, what are the different?
As a guess the payload is what will connect back to your machine, but you may have to ask someone else in general because Iβm not that experienced #general
Haha, it was nothing ;)
which debian version is good for kali linux
@cyan tendon you can google how to install kali l inux and follow through
Help...
It goes all well, Initialization Sequence Completed is prompted and after ~1min it goes Authenticate/Descrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed
Looks like that there 5 tunX connections.
@icy yew are there actually 5, or is it just called tun5?
(As in, can you screenshot ip a show tun*?)
actually 5 not including tun0
but I'll send the ss anyway
Please do
tun5 closed
Could you show the inet addresses please?
All are '10.8.3.194/16'
Only tun4 got killed. Shall I repeat till tun0?
No, try it again with sudo killall -9 openvpn?
All tunX connections are gone
I'll try to reconnect
Perfect. Try running the script?
Thanks! All good now π
Wonderful. Goodness knows why that happens, but I'll update the script to sigkill the connections
Thanks π
So since yesterday late afternoon, I connect, shows connected but when i try to ping a machine i get no response. I did do a killall, yesterday and did it a second time to make sure.
tun0 shows my ip correctly too
disregard, i figured it out.
What was the solution @modest tendon
system does not respond to ping request
but nmap saw it but had all ports filtered, could still go back to doing rooms tho
Awesome
@vapid dawn abnormal amount of VPN complaints right now. Might be worth checking out?
Don't know if it helps but vpn server im trying to connect to is US-West-VIP-1
which VPNs @eager fulcrum ?
EU VIP 1
for now its working... but when i restarted while i was seeing this on screen, it took quite some time to reconnect
@vapid dawn EU and US West seem to be dodgy, #room-help
tested EU and it looks ok :p
tested US-West-1 also looked fine
i'm checking the VIP one rn
hi, I'm having issues with the VPN. I connected using OpenVPN, and OpenVPN reports that a connection was successfully established, (i'm given a 10.x.x.x IP as well), but trying to access any of my deployed boxes doesn't work, and when I go to the https://tryhackme.com/access page, it reports I'm not connected, but I'm not sure what to do if OpenVPN says it was a successful connection

@static oriole What OpenVPN server?
US-East-Regular-1
US-East-Regular-1
@static oriole Try now
@deep trellis nope, OpenVPN assigns me an IP and says its connected, but I still cant access anything
@deep trellis Oh wait a minute, I take that back, I can access the OpenVPN box
@deep trellis Ok, the access page still says i'm disconnected, but i got the flag for the openvpn box. I just went back to the box I wanted to access, hopefully it works once it loads up
Ty
ignore the access page it could be buggy sometimes(well most of the times i would say)

@inner fjord you didn't specify any ports to scan with "-p" use "-p-" for all ports or see https://nmap.org/book/man-port-specification.html for more options
@fathom citrus Thanks for the help i didn't think of that
@rigid oxide is the a winner for the BurpSuite drawing from 9th of June 2020?
Hey @vapid dawn I still seem to be having the issue. What the best way to explain the issue without giving away spoilers for the room I am working on?
that would probably be specific to the vuln then - we confirmed the issues were solved :))
Hm, ok, I am just as certain as can be that I am doing everything right. Thanks.
if you're still having the issue, try spin up a Kali machine and check if you can get a reverse shell from the Kali machine to your VPN IP
If you're able to do that, then it means the reverse shell should be possible

I'm getting 404 trying to download OpenVPN config file
I've tried multiple vpn servers
Was just about to say im getting a 404 when I press download on the vpn file for US-West-Vip
I've been getting those 404 errors when I click on the download configuration file too.
^^ I am having the same issue
@deep trellis IDK if you're awake
Thanks Skidy
Oh wow - what an annoying bug. Fixed in dev and prod.
@somber mason @pseudo pine @knotty willow All fixed - Regenerate and download:)
Thanks for letting me know James.
Thank you @eager fulcrum and @deep trellis
@sturdy shuttle @somber mason @knotty willow Update: Issue fixed
All good now thanks
thank you @deep trellis, and @eager fulcrum
@brisk steeple you didn't say what youre issue is. Be more specific next time
also if youre doing task 4, #14, why are you searching for extensions with txt. The question says to find hidden files with extension xxa
and move this to #room-help cuz I don't believe this is a bug, i believe it's user error
i said that i tried a command multiple times with no result
restarted my kali machine and the machine for the task
i looked at writeups and all said the answer was secret.txt
and move this to #room-help cuz I don't believe this is a bug, i believe it's user error
@toxic python you were the one who told me to put it here
Hi
yea i know, but i didnt see what your command was before, i see it now and can see your error
I mean, you can at least specify the room and what's up with it here. @exotic vortex
which vpn server is working right now ? i've tried AUS, EU servers can't connect to vm .
EU-Regular-1 is 100% working
Haven't tried the others.
What VM? What are you trying to do to test your connection to it?
i am just trying the learn linux vm. I've tried EU-regular -1, regenerated as well. I've checked my routing table the routes are there too . I don't why this always happens everytime I disconnect reconnecting is a pain I have to try different servers or restart my pc . Maybe I am missing something
What VM? What are you trying to do to test your connection to it?
You've answered the first part. What's the second answer? @solar shadow
@eager fulcrum My host machien is windows . I ve tried ssh from putty and mobaxterm
Have you successfully completed the welcome room and the VPN check at the end?
@eager fulcrum I have yes
What happens when you try to connect? Screenshot?
tried from different servers EU,AUS,VIP servers as well . I am connected to EU-Regular -1 right now
That VM isn't up.
@eager fulcrum But when i click deploy it shows an IP. I just tried from browser KALI VM. IT is connecting . So the isseus only seems from openvpn
Yep. So you have two options
I'm not at a PC RN so I can't do too much troubleshooting. But you can either try to fix your VPN now or SSH into the tryhackme kali and then into Learn Linux
root:Tryh4ckm3
(or someone else might help)
@eager fulcrum Thanks just need to troubleshoot the openvpn issue though .
If you can grab the output from Openvpn then people might be able to help troubleshoot
The usual setup that people go for is their own kali VM and the VPN running on that. That's pretty much the ideal.
!multivpn @supple radish
Make sure you have setup your VPN connection correctly https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn
Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
If there's more than one line (that don't start with "grep" or sudo), do the following steps
Type sudo killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter
Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>
Is the download for the VPN down or something? I can't download the config file - getting a 404
That was meant to have been fixed a while back
It's 6:30am for the admins atm
I'm sure they'll be aware once at least one of them wakes up
Ok, thanks. There's no hurry. I'll try again in the morning.
I can't setup the openvpn on linux vm
Why not?
What distro? What are you doing? What's not working?
Make it easy for us to help you.
I try to answer every question I get. Unfortunately a lot of them are extremely low effort and waste my time. I love to help, but please put some work into your question.

Hi everyone, I'm new here on try hack me, I hope I'm in the right place, I have some problem with accessing the Internal Virtual IP Address, when I copy it in the browser it doesn't connect to my Machine Ip, even if the TryHackMe web site tells me I'm connected to the servers (with the "green check"). Is there I way I can solve this?
type ip a in the terminal and see if yout tun0 is identical to Internal Virtual IP Address on the website
if they are identical, that means you are connected
after "tun0" there is a "inet my ip" and it's the same as the Internal Virtual IP Address on the website
Make sure you have setup your VPN connection correctly https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn
Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
If there's more than one line (that don't start with "grep" or sudo), do the following steps
Type sudo killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter
Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>
try this ^
Ok! thanks
I followed the steps, but I don't understand why if I write "ps aux | grep openvpn" after killing all the connections and restarting the openvpn (Step 5) there still are 3 lines instead of 1
is it enough if I write the path as ~/myFolder/configurationfile.ovpn?
or do I need to write the entire path?
I rekilled everything and used the full path to restart the openvpn connection, still no website and with the "ps aux | grep openvpn" it shows me 3 lines that contains:
... sudo openvpn ...
... openvpn ...
... grep openvpn ...
If it helps I'm not a premium member for now, so I'm using kali on a VM
Anyone can help .I am facing an issue with tryhackme that I can't load the website says proxy connection error .Truned off proxyfroxy.Able to scan it machine
Screenshot your screen.. don't take a picture
I don't have any discord acc in vm
Just a minute
You can tab between VM and normal OS

Or can you visit other websites

Before you proceed are you 100% it's the same with all sites because I can see you have the THM website loaded.
Have you enumerated the machine
Clearly the machine you're connecting to does not have a webpage..
yea used nmap it shows result..it is BLUE
Downloading the config file from a different server worked
@light rivet what server are you using? :))
Just so someone knows, the Eastern US one isn't working
The Western US server worked.
Was the issue downloading your config file?

Hey!
I'm completing the room CC: Pentesting. After using the command || sqlmap -u http://<Machine IP>/ --forms --batch --dump || and various other ones. I just get this image which specifies that the database is empty. I have restarted the machine many times and openvpn. I don't know how to proceed.
This is related to my issue by the way.
@vernal ruin tried with blue and welcome
you say you use nmap and it works, what's the problem
every machine is not supposed to have a webpage, atleast blue doesn't
@vapid dawn Thank you!
@vernal ruin i just deleted froxyproxy and changed firefox to noproxy.Now the webpage keeps on loading.When i scaned it nmap shows the host is down
redeploy the machine and wait few minutes
@desert kayak Show us your nmap scan whenever you can

Have you tried going through PayPal
Any Idea why my bank is declining the charge when I am trying to buy the subscription with my Visa π

Yes
There's a support email for payments so if you card works on other websites but not this one

All right
Nothing I put works for this menu

Are you connected with openvpn?
I think it might be Some network problems
It probably just took time to boot.
Hi guys! I have an issue with streak - it was 10 yesterday and today it suddenly burned down to zero - itβs really strange because I am using site everyday)
@hollow stream if you answered a question at 10am one day, then 11am the next day then you'd lose your streak because it was more than 24 hours
So, I can't connect to the first machine "Test Machine".
I am connected on OpenVPN
You are not properly connected then
You have put the IP in your web browser right?
What is the error you get?
You are using the IP of the VM that you deployed in the room, right?
Wait OpenVPN needs to run as admin?

Did you try regenerating your config on EU VIP 2?
Yeah it works fine for EU VIP 1.
@deep trellis Yes twice
Seems to be happening only for that server
Seems to be happening only for that server
@alpine ledge Fixed, another weird bug I will have to look out for. (Regenerate your config file to get it working)
Wait. Is this the reason => "Please wait 10 seconds for it to re-generate" ?
I tried to download immediately. Maybe that's the issue.
Nope, it was an error with the OpenVPN server.
Let me know if the fix worked (I verified but just incase)

@deep trellis it seems to keep happening?
Which server?
@deep eagle ^
@vapid dawn Seen it on a few of the EU ones, and some of the US. Keeps cropping up over the last few days
i fixed the US ones earlier today
and we've been doing some maintenance this week
just @ me in there's another error
Hey, is this normal to see in the openvpn logs? I haven't seen it before, and I don't think it was caused by me. Looking up the IP it looks like it's something to do with AWS maybe?

it happens, that's the VPN server's IP
Unless your VPN stops working, you don't need to worry
It's been pretty unreliable today, I've had to kill/restart the vpn a lot for the past few hours - otherwise I couldn't even ping the box. Everything works again soon after restarting it. Wasn't sure if it was just the room I was in or not - tonythetiger
