Title, not the header

Title is the rest displayed a the tab name

[naive dust]

so internet information services right?

[celest sapphire]

No, tab name. Also please move to #room-help

[naive dust]

the machine is also not responding to nmp scans

[celest sapphire]

Use -Pn. If the machine doesn't respond to pings you need to tell nmap to skip the ping check

[naive dust]

already have but im giving up on it now to go do sum else but if you wanna trouble shoot it urslef it was the blaster room

[celest sapphire]

I know blaster is broken but it's not broken there

[bronze vale]

@naive dust I completed the blaster room yesterday.

[steep sleet]

Hey guys, new to this - but it seems the box for the Network Services room keeps dying after a few minutes. After 2-3 minutes the smbclient I am using to connect to it becomes unresponsive, and then I have to wait a few more minutes to connect to it again. Haven't had this issue with any other rooms. I am using the Australian VPN. Welcome any suggestions, cheers!

[sage delta]

@steep sleet Have you tried regenerating the VPN config file..?

Hi! I am trying to upload ova file from upload feature, it is getting stuck at converting stage.
@sage delta Is this related to TryHackMe?

[steep sleet]

@steep sleet Have you tried regenerating the VPN config file..?
@bronze vale Not yet, will give that a shot!

[bronze vale]

Ping the box and wait 2-3 minutes and see if the pinging stops. If the pinging stops it could other be SMB or the box.

Re-install smb and try it on a different room. If that room works then it’s the box

[sage delta]

@bronze vale yes

[bronze vale]

Yes what?

[sage delta]

yes it is related to TryHackMe

[bronze vale]

In what way

Are you trying to complete a room, I need a little better explanation

[sage delta]

No.. i am trying to upload my own vm to create a room.

own vulnerable vm

[bronze vale]

Oh okay this makes more sense

[misty mirage]

What the heck is going on ???
Machines not responding to pings.

[bronze vale]

Have you made sure to connect to the VPN @misty mirage

[steep sleet]

Ping the box and wait 2-3 minutes and see if the pinging stops. If the pinging stops it could other be SMB or the box.

Re-install smb and try it on a different room. If that room works then it’s the box
@bronze vale found out what it was I think haha, I had two tryhackme vpn tunnels open at the same time. Removed one and it seems to be running smoothly! Cheers

[misty mirage]

Hi @bronze vale that is 1st thing we do.

[bronze vale]

Haha no worries

@misty mirage Are you getting any errors from the vpn

Oh actually

What room are you trying to complete

[misty mirage]

No error ☹️

[bronze vale]

Room?

[misty mirage]

Have tried on Mr Robot

Alfred, Jeff etc.

[bronze vale]

That’s an issue in your end. Have you regenerated your VPN configuration file

If your location has 1/2 try the other one. (EU1 /EU2)

[misty mirage]

Let me do it again if you say. Although i have regenerated yesterday only.

Same issue @bronze vale

[bronze vale]

Are you pinging boxes which are on Linux or Windows

[misty mirage]

Yes...

[bronze vale]

That’s not the right answer

[misty mirage]

What is wrong here?

[bronze vale]

Are you ping boxes which are on Linux or on Windows

[misty mirage]

Windows

[bronze vale]

You can’t ping windows boxes

Just wait 5-10 minutes and they’ll be up

[misty mirage]

Waiting for more than 15 mins

[bronze vale]

Have you tried performing an nmap Scan

[misty mirage]

Yes and it's showing host seems down.

Although i am able to ping from IN Browser machine

[flat cypress]

[rough vine]

Hey all, having some trouble sshing into a machine. I'm connected via openVPN. but the SSH command just hangs...

[bronze vale]

Is your internet slow

[rough vine]

no no

[kind plover]

and it gets timed out?

[rough vine]

No it never times out, been sitting waiting for about 5 mins

Wait, just got connection refused

thats a start

[kind plover]

you are using a vm? and u want to access a thm box?

[rough vine]

Yeah it just connected finally, we're good here

Strange cause im able to use the internet no problem

[kind plover]

okay cool

[grave shale]

guys i'm new to tryhackme and i connected to the Europe regular 1 server however it is just tooooooo slow i mean it does connect to the vpn but then it just keeps loading the tryhackme site
can anyone suggest me any thing so that i am able to connect to the vpn properly with a decent speed

[eager fulcrum]

The VPN doesn't affect your access to the tryhackme website

Do not use the VPN tool built into kali etc. Use the openvpn command line program if you're on linux

The system VPN tool seems to add incorrect routes which mean you can't access the internet

[grave shale]

ok

let me try

i guess that must be the problem

thank you so much man it worked out

👍

[eager fulcrum]

For reference, all the resources from THM tell you to use the command line client

There is a reason.

[grave shale]

actually i tried that but when i realised the terminal thing wasn't changing my ip i switched to the inbuilt method
anyways thanks

[eager fulcrum]

It won't change your public IP

It's not that type of VPN

It doesn't tunnel yoyr internet traffic, that would be a huge privacy risk

[abstract lark]

hey peeps. I have an issue in a room. https://www.tryhackme.com/room/commonlinuxprivesc. In that I need to deploy and log into a machine. But no credentials are given. Any ideas?

Task 5. I need to check user3's dir. Therefore I cannot use my own Kali Raspberry or anything else to complete that challenge.

[eager fulcrum]

Credentials are given

I will promise you that.

[abstract lark]

Okay I will double-check, thank you! 🙂

[eager fulcrum]

Task 4

[abstract lark]

Oh yeah. I forgot, since I started that Lab some days ago and did not save the credentials. Found them. thanks! 🙂

[eager fulcrum]

I personally try to keep notes on boxes, especially creds that I find, in case I need to come back to them

[barren birch]

(Forget personally -- if you're not taking notes, you're doing something badly wrong)

[lilac ocean]

whats this?

[eager fulcrum]

You're disconnected

Control C, reconnect

[lilac ocean]

tried same

[eager fulcrum]

something broke then

[hushed basin]

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get a reverse shell for one of the easy box called Skynet. I'm hosting a Kali Linux machine in vmware. I don't get a response in the Kali machine.

These are the steps I followed:

1. Opened a python http server with php reverse shell python3 -m http.server
2. Started a netcat listener on port 4445
3. Initiated a curl call with my THM ip add so the url looks something like http://10.x.x.x:8000/php-reverse-shell.php
4. This should initiate a reverse shell and get the repsonse but somehow I don't get a response in my Kali Vmware
   Do I have to do some changes to forward the response from the server to my host machine to the vmware?

[modest tendon]

@hushed basin I too am having issues with that room

time out errors and such

[hushed basin]

I thought I'm doing something wrong with the setup

[modest tendon]

i dont think so, i am smbclient and it times out, 3 different networks on my side and its all the same

[hushed basin]

This has happened before also. I get a response on the hosting machine. But don't get anything in Kali vmware

[modest tendon]

set lhost?

i mean that in a general sense nt meta

not*

you set nc listen on 4445 but curl 8000?

[hushed basin]

Yes

Because I was trying something like this

[naive dust]

how can i copy/paste stuff from the built in browser VM to host machine? (e.g. copying a flag)

ok i figured it out, ctrl+shift+alt

[glacial warren]

Hi so in the website im level 8 but here it appears that i'm 7 i tried ! verify but it says my level is up to date is there something i can do

advent of cyber [task 23] Elf JS registration works fine but login takes too long and

time out happens

any solutions?

[eager fulcrum]

Timeout = fix your vpn

[delicate sapphire]

everything looks fine registration works perfect

the only problem I am facing with is login

[white skiff]

i have a issue with ssh that i can find a solution of it this is the error("Connection closed by IP port 22 ") and i have openvpn so what could be the issue

[eager fulcrum]

Room, what are you doing? Give us more info

[white skiff]

learning path network services

exploiting SMB

[bronze vale]

Have you performed an Nmap Scan to see if 22 is open

[eager fulcrum]

@white skiff It will close the connection if you use the wrong username

Use the correct username and it will work

[white skiff]

thats strange but i will check it that

[eager fulcrum]

It's not strange

It's literally how SSH works

OpenSSH does that to you.

[bronze vale]

You should always make notes whilst you’re going through the room to avoid* mistakes

[white skiff]

Okay i will try with john to see if it works

wat

no

[unborn island]

im fairly new to thm,

after i set up a machine and tried to do some nmapping it always blocks my ping attemps

has this something to do with the website (im in the NMAP room

[eager fulcrum]

Connect to the VPN

[unborn island]

i did it

it shows that i have the connection and i can visit the provided site

but if i do sth like nmap -sS it replies with " Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn"

if i then do nmap -pn it says the site is up

[hoary mason]

have you tried ping <ip>

[unborn island]

i can ping it with 0% loss of data

[hoary mason]

try nmap <ip>

[unborn island]

im using nmap with windows not linux

[hoary mason]

-sS is already default

send ss ??

[unborn island]

send ss?

Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 8.53 seconds

thats the "error"

if i do nmap <ip>

[toxic python]

So have you tried it with the suggested flag then

[eager fulcrum]

send ss?
@unborn island screenshot

[unborn island]

ok wait

do i have to do nmap http://ip or just the ip

[eager fulcrum]

Just the IP

[unborn island]

ok

thats a screenshot

[eager fulcrum]

You're nmaping from windows

[unborn island]

yeah

[eager fulcrum]

Ping the ip

[unborn island]

it works

i have tried it

[eager fulcrum]

Then nmap is lying to you

[unborn island]

wdym?

[hoary mason]

try getting a linux vm

[unborn island]

if i do nmap -pn it says the site is up, so can i do for example nmap -ss -pn?

[eager fulcrum]

Yes

But nmap starts by pinging the host

If pinging the host works, then nmap shouldn't need -Pn

[unborn island]

btw thanks for yall support

thats the -Pn test

[eager fulcrum]

You should get an open port

I suspect your VPN isn't properly connected

[unborn island]

this looks allright

[eager fulcrum]

That doesn't mean you're properly connected

[unborn island]

how can i test that

[eager fulcrum]

Screenshot the ping comamnd

[unborn island]

how could it be that the machine is blocking the ping probes executed through nmap?

[eager fulcrum]

it can't

Nmap on windows is weird

[unborn island]

ok imma try setting up a linux vm

thx

[eager fulcrum]

make a kali VM

connect to the VPN just from the kali VM

[unborn island]

ok

[flint hawk]

I'm trying to follow the msf guide. It says postgresql selected, no connection. I then google got to a guide where the deleted the database and reinstalled it, didn't work. now msfdb start doesn't work...

[eager fulcrum]

msfdb init

[flint hawk]

I get command not found

[eager fulcrum]

You don't have metasploit installed properly then

[flint hawk]

It worked until i reinstalled postgresql

[eager fulcrum]

This is outside the scope of this channel

When you uninstalled postgre, it may have uninstalled msfdb as msfdb depends on postgre.

[flint hawk]

It works now and i get psql error could not connect to server. I was on some forums and they where no help

When i try to delete the database ^^

[naive dust]

In the learn linux room on the site, is the Machine IP referenced the Public IP in the spooled-up machine? I'm trying the SSH part and it's rejecting me regardless of what I do.

[eager fulcrum]

@naive dust No

if it still says MACHINE_IP then you haven't deployed the machine

You're probably referring to the kali machine, which is seperate.

[naive dust]

Ah I must have skipped something then.

Yeah.

[eager fulcrum]

That's your attacker machine

[naive dust]

Woopsie.

[eager fulcrum]

You need something to attack

Which is the VM you deploy in the room

Go back to task 1 and click deploy.

[naive dust]

Got it. Thanks.

My bad for skimming.

When does the counter for the Streak reset? I've logged in this morning and answered some questions but my daily streak count hasn't incremented.

[dark flower]

Hey I'm trying to connect to my machine via ssh on my own machine. I'm using the openvpn config file and running it.

I get to here and open up a new terminal to try and ssh into the machine, but no dice. Can't even ping my machine.

[bronze vale]

screenshot the whole terminal

Whoops wrong person

@dark flower

[dark flower]

@bronze vale

[bronze vale]

Is this openvpn

[dark flower]

after i ran openvpn in the terminal yeah

with the config file

[bronze vale]

OS?

[dark flower]

debian

[bronze vale]

Before we proceed have you regenerated your configuration file on the THM website (https://tryhackme.com/access)

[dark flower]

yes

Should I regenerate it again

[bronze vale]

Have you made sure to re-download the file after regenerating it?

[dark flower]

yes

[bronze vale]

Okay

What command are you using to run openvpn

[dark flower]

sudo openvpn <configfile>

[bronze vale]

Okay

There are no errors and it seems to be working fine

When pinging the machine on the THM website it is the correct machine IP?

[dark flower]

I can ping the machine

I'm having an issue actually with this room https://tryhackme.com/room/zthlinux#

[bronze vale]

What’s the issue

Oh

[dark flower]

The machine that I deploy here has a different ip than the what is listed under my "access" page

when I try to ping and/or ssh into this machine nothing happens

[bronze vale]

Type in ip addr and your “tun0” is address is the IP for you machine on the THM website

On the website next to “Terminate” and “Add 1 hour” it should say “Machine IP” that is the IP you should be sshing to

username@<Machine IP>

[dark flower]

for this room it should be shiba1

this one correct

with the address blacked out

[bronze vale]

Yes

[dark flower]

yes I'm trying to connect to that address via ssh but cannot

no response when trying to ping either

[bronze vale]

What ssh command are you using

[dark flower]

ssh shiba1@<ip>

[bronze vale]

You said you could ping the machine?

[dark flower]

i could ping the machine ip under the access page

not this ip though

[bronze vale]

The machine ip on the access page is your VPN IP so that just means you’re pinging yourself

nmap: intro in scanning.. last part

[bronze vale]

Okay so if you do “ping <Machine IP>” you don’t get a response right?

Have you tried regenerating the config file for openvpn

[hexed pine]

oh! let me try that

still no luck

[bronze vale]

What OS are you on

[hexed pine]

i m sorry @bronze vale .. lets continue on the general section 🙂

[wise spade]

Hi, I'm having problems in connecting in my Website Machine, I set up the openvpn and used the config file from my region. If I ping it from the Terminal, it respond instantly, but if I open the web page it says it "can’t establish a connection".

Is there any way I can fix this? I tryed to solve the problem in a lot of ways (regenerating the Config file, restarting everything, waiting hours to see if it will open or not, using "ps aux | grep openvpn" to check the connections)

I changed firewall and proxy settings, maybe it's because of the Browser? I'm using firefox from a VM with Kali

[bronze vale]

Have you performed an nmap scan to make sure you’re on the right port for the web page/the webpage is up

[wise spade]

I tryed but I didn't know how to read the result of the scan

[floral narwhal]

hello !
i have a problem when installing my kali vm, after the "select and install software" i got an error which is "Install failed select and install software" and it makes my pc crash
does someone already had this error or could help me ?
mb the post should be there

[hexed pine]

@wise spade is your vpn running on your vm ?

[wise spade]

Yes it is, I started it from the terminal of the kali vm

[hexed pine]

how much time did you wait after it said Initialisation Sequence Completed ? i am stuck at that lol..

[wise spade]

the report of nmap says that all the port are closed

[hexed pine]

having the same issue.. but i was running the vpn from my host machine..

are you doing nmap:intro to scanning ?

[wise spade]

I'm doing nmap -v IPADDRESS

How do I check if I'm running the vpn from my host machine or not?

[bronze vale]

@floral narwhal read channel description

[floral narwhal]

isnt kali related to tryhackme

[bronze vale]

No it is not.

[floral narwhal]

they got a kali vm on their website

[wise spade]

are you doing nmap:intro to scanning ?
@hexed pine How should I write it?

[hexed pine]

write what ?

[bronze vale]

If you’re talking about the one on try hack me’s website then it’s related but if you’re talking about your own machine then it’s not

[wise spade]

the command to scan with nmap

[bronze vale]

You must specify

[wise spade]

isn't it nmap v- ipaddres ?

[bronze vale]

I am attempting to use the Kali Linux OS on The website but it’s having an issue

[hexed pine]

-v

[wise spade]

[hexed pine]

ws having the same issue..

run ooen vpn on kali

[wise spade]

I'm running it from the terminal of kali

[hexed pine]

I'm using EU-REGULAR-1 config files

[hexed pine]

i am using regular 2

[wise spade]

I made every step more times

I also changed to regular 2

but no responses

[hexed pine]

try running the openvpn again on kali.. and scan after a couple of mins

[wise spade]

am I searching in the wrong way the Ip address on the web?

[hexed pine]

no..its correct

[wise spade]

try running the openvpn again on kali.. and scan after a couple of mins
@hexed pine So I kill everything and restart?

[hexed pine]

can try that

[wise spade]

do you suggest to regenerate the config file?

because I already tryed to reset everything, every time same problem

maybe I'm missing something

[hexed pine]

wont do any harm

also you can wait for @bronze vale to guide you.. she is way ahead of us 🙂

[bronze vale]

Sorry?

[ashen phoenix]

Hey all, I have a quick question about room access. If I purchase THM pro, do I still need to connect over VPN to access the boxes? My work provides some time for training, but my computer is already connected to the company VPN and switching might cause some problems

[barren birch]

@ashen phoenix if you're a subscriber then you can use the TryHackMe Kali machine

If you're using your own computer (or your own VM) then you would still need the VPN, but using the in browser machine (or connecting to it via RDP or SSH) gets around it.

[ashen phoenix]

Ok sweet! Thanks!

Either way all good, I can get to it now. Thanks!

i have a problem downloading my configuration file for access.
@winged plover Try regenerating and click download.

@deep trellis i tried that

Try now:)

[winged plover]

same

also just to let you guys now brainstorm is having a problem with the ftp service

too

[eager fulcrum]

We know. Use passive mode

If that doesn't work, switch to an EU VPN and use passive mode

EU1 or EUVIP1

[hexed pine]

heyy all.. i am doing the cyber advent christmas room, got stuck at cracking password for buddy. status pause bypass checkpoint quit => what to enter? or just wait ?

any hints ?

[eager fulcrum]

It is running.

Also picture paints a thousand words. A screenshot > typing out your problem.

[hexed pine]

ok @eager fulcrum will keep that in mind 🙂

its running yeah..?

[eager fulcrum]

Yes but you've done something wrong

look at that file name

[hexed pine]

oh.. yeah..need to unzip

bang on @eager fulcrum

[barren birch]

Hashcat will work with the zipped version now iirc James?

[eager fulcrum]

No way of telling what version that is

@hexed pine Also, bear in mind --force can give you false negatives and false positives as well as making it super slow

Don't use hashcat in a VM

[hexed pine]

@barren birch didnt work with the zipped file. unziped; it worked

ok.. @eager fulcrum so --force not necessary >

[eager fulcrum]

--force is the only way to get it to work when you don't have an opencl device

But it breaks hashcat a lot of the time

Use john if you need to use --force for hashcat

Or use hashcat on your host OS

Or if you're not using a VM, you can bother to sort your opencl out

[hexed pine]

i am using a vm.. so will try using jtr

[frozen bramble]

No, should I change it?

#site-support got a bit of an issue with the Metasploit room. Task 5 #7 asks for the name of the multi/handler exploit after listing the modules.

Noob here, anyone able to help me out with a Nessus installation? I've made a fresh Ubuntu box, downloaded and installed Nessus with activation code, opened my browser with [local-host]:8834 and started to config, but compiling plugins get's ~20-40% and restarts. This lasted about an hour so i uninstalled, rinse and repeat and same problem

[bronze vale]

You've allocated enough storage right?

[wintry solar]

30GB

Trying a fresh-fresh Ubuntu box

[wintry solar]

That fixed it

@bronze vale I tried with a minimal installation, so it might very well have been a storage issue

I believe when allocating the storage the OS takes up a little

@deep trellis yes I am in it right now

[deep trellis]

When you deploy the machine, does it give you an IP?

[silent sundial]

Hi I m doing the learn linux room and I am stuck at the shiba2 binary. I checked the write-ups and they are doing it in the same way I am, so I am thinking maybe it's a bug

[lilac ocean]

@silent sundial #room-help was the right place.

[low granite]

in the basic pentesting room when I press deploy, is it supposed to launch a machine in that room for me or am I supposed to use the kali machine from https://tryhackme.com/my-machine ? @deep trellis

[deep trellis]

The Kali machine on the "my-machine" page is your "attacking machine" - it has security tools you use to attack the machine you deploy in the "basic-pentesting" room.

[low granite]

ohhhhhhh

okay okay I think I understand then

so the ip on the pentesting room is the one I use when i test attacks etc

[deep trellis]

So on the Kali machine, open a terminal and type nmap -sC -sV <IP from machine in basicpentesting room

[low granite]

thank you!! I understand now 🙂

No

The room is working correctly.

sorry for the bother

[spare geode]

@eager fulcrum i am sorry to bug you again but do you know if there is a problem with any of the deploy machine i got booted out of the one i showed you a few mins ago and now have deploy 3 new ones but can't get the site to load

[eager fulcrum]

Please don't ping me when you need help

[spare geode]

just getting Unable to connect

[eager fulcrum]

Not every VM runs a webserver

You cannot assume that it does

[spare geode]

Sorry for the ping Ninja | Ok so I am not sure what to do here, in this case, I am in the WebAppSec101 had a machine deployed got kicked out of it for some reason tried to start a new machine after doing this 3 times I still can not get the WackoPico Web App to load saying unable to connect have also tried to reset my VPN have reconnected i was able to ping the IP of all 3 machines if this is not something that can be taken care here let me know and I will go another route

[eager fulcrum]

This sounds like your VPN is not working.

problem with any of the deploy machine this cannot happen BTW

Everything deploys as it's own machine on AWS

The VM in the room itself can be broken, however that is highly unlikely here.

[spare geode]

i have reconfiged my vpn and have connected i have even tried to switch them

is there something else i need to try

[wraith lantern]

Could someone help out the new guy? I have tried to install/run openvpn, and I thought it was working, but after this came up in the terminal and i'm not seeing the vpn connection (I'm running Kali Linux in a virtual machiene).

[eager fulcrum]

That file is empty.

Take a screenshot.

[wraith lantern]

Forgot to save it. This should work now.

[eager fulcrum]

You pressed control c

so it exited

[wraith lantern]

So I just need to run it again and leave it alone?

[eager fulcrum]

Yes

Open a new terminal tab etc

[wraith lantern]

The terminal wasn't doing anything for about 30 seconds when I took this. What else might I be doing wrong? Thanks for the help. 🙂

[eager fulcrum]

Yeah it's done

It's connected

What are you expecting?

[wraith lantern]

Shouldn't it show that it is connected in the popup window above instead of saying add vpn?

Ok. Looks like I'm connected. Cool. 🙂

[eager fulcrum]

Don't touch the kali builtin VPN thing

It breaks your internet access when you use the VPN if you use that

[delicate sapphire]

I am connected to connected to vpn but cannot interact with the machines. I mean I could not connect with with the deployed machines. OpenVPN shows connect, Assess Page shows connected, still me system could not interact with the deployed machine.

tried regerating configurations file even tried switch servers but still

problem persists

[eager fulcrum]

I am connected to connected to vpn but cannot interact with the machines. I mean I could not connect with with the deployed machines. OpenVPN shows connect, Assess Page shows connected, still me system could not interact with the deployed machine.
Could not connect? Could not interact? What are you doing, be precise

[delicate sapphire]

I am connected as per the OpenVPN and the website but when I try to open deployed website or try to connect it does connect

[eager fulcrum]

not every machine runs a website

What are you doing when you try to connect

[delicate sapphire]

it say unable to connect or it is taking too long to respond

[eager fulcrum]

What are you doing when you try to connect
@eager fulcrum Answer this.

[delicate sapphire]

I deployed the machine. I try to scan to the ports with -Pn with this flag still could not do it

I have to tried many diffirent machines which do have the website but I am unable to connect to them

[eager fulcrum]

Show the output of the openvpn command

Screenshots.

Access is not trustworthy

If you cannot interact with the VMs, you are not connected properly.

[delicate sapphire]

it the very last line it say Initialization Sequence Complete. like in the above image

Are you 100% sure it is running a web server on port 80?

and it runs on 80

[eager fulcrum]

Because it loaded instantly for me

Please try the troubleshooting script

[delicate sapphire]

I really don't know what is the issue. The access page shows that I am connected

[eager fulcrum]

As I've said twice now

The access page is unreliable

It does not detect VPN issues

It also doesn't update reliably

Do not, under any circumstances, trust that checkbox

[delicate sapphire]

Ok I get it

Thank you

lmao James

im going to quote you on that

Yall should write that under the checkbox

make it canon

[sturdy shuttle]

they don't listen to an 0xD god?

push 2 prod, push 2 prod

[eager fulcrum]

They didn't believe me when I said people argued that "The checkbox is green so I'm connected" when they're obviously having VPN issues.

[supple sonnet]

checkbox is green, machine is deployed, therefore box borked

[eager fulcrum]

The checkbox does 1 thing

it checks to see if your VPN configuration is being used anywhere

Except it doesn't update for a while

It doesn't detect issues

[abstract plover]

Been trying to Connect to this site for the past 30 minutes it just keeps loading. Any ideas on why that is?

[abstract plover]

You can find this in the Burp Suite room Task 7

Pinging the Internal Virtual IP address

Pinging the OWASP Juice Shop Site IP

[wicked ledge]

I was doing that room a few days ago and it was loading super slow.

Had to redeploy the VM several times.

[abstract plover]

How long should i wait before trying to connect to the site?

[wicked ledge]

Have you reset the VM?

[abstract plover]

By VM do you mean my Kali. OR do you mean Re-Deploy

If you mean have i Terminated/ Deployed yes i have multiple times.

I think its something to do with the room. As i am now in the OWASP Juice shop room and i just connected

only waited 5 minutes after deploying and i connected

[topaz leaf]

is burp and proxy active? maybe it what is preventing the site loading

[abstract plover]

No i closed both

This is from the OWASP Juice Shop Room

I think it has to do with the room itself.

[topaz leaf]

I just started the VM and loaded the page it took about 3 minutes to load

[abstract plover]

The Burp Suite one?

[topaz leaf]

yes

[abstract plover]

I really dont know......

[topaz leaf]

have you tried reboot kali?

[abstract plover]

No

its ok though, since i connected using a different room

ill just use that

[vivid canyon]

Is it possible to do a one-time increase beyond 2 hours of running machines?

[bronze vale]

Explain? @vivid canyon

[vivid canyon]

@bronze vale If it's possible to extend machines beyond 2 hours in some way, on your own or by the grace of some admin/mod.

[bronze vale]

Machines have a time out zone so they're not running all the time. Nobody is allowed to have machines on longer than 1 hour simply because it shouldn't be taking you that long. If you need extra time you can extend it by 1 hour at a time but having 2 hours on a machine would not benefit THM in any way.

[wraith lantern]

Would anyone be willing to watch a screen share with me to help me to use the browser Kali with the TryHackMe exercises? I'm having trouble and I'm sure it just me making a simple mistake. Just not sure what.

[bronze vale]

What are you struggling with, is it a tech problem or do you just not know how to use kali?

[wraith lantern]

It's a tech problem. Not a Kali issue. I look those up on youtube. It is site specific.

[bronze vale]

And what is the exact problem?

[wraith lantern]

I'm using the browser Kali, and I click on "Deploy" but the machiene is not coming up. I'm sure it's a "me" problem. Just need some guidance.

[bronze vale]

That's not how you deploy the online kali machine

Are you subscribed?

[wraith lantern]

Yes.

And I have brought it up through access as well.

[bronze vale]

https://tryhackme.com/my-machine

[wraith lantern]

But it's like the exerceses are commuinicating with the browser Kali

[bronze vale]

That is your in browser kali machine

When you press "deploy" you are starting up the machine you're meant to exploit

[wraith lantern]

Oh...ok. That makes more sense.

Knew it was a "me" problem. 🙂

Thank you for the help.

[vivid canyon]

@bronze vale well subscribers can extend to 2 hours, also there might be reasons to have more than two hours running.

[bronze vale]

There is no reason. If you use your 1 hour, extend it

[vivid canyon]

Just because -you see no reason doesn't mean there isn't one. For instance there are rooms that require quite long sessions of wordlist attempts with hydra or wpscan where people might enjoy, I don't know, sleep or being able to leave the computer instead of having to return only to see the session died and having to begin anew and the same thing happening again until you can schwck the sessions hourly for 6 hours straight

[bronze vale]

Stop arguing this is not a tech-support problem, this conversation is over.

@vivid canyon 5 minutes on brute force. No more.
@eager fulcrum Is that so? That would be nice if it was put somewhere. I seem to recall someone told me some time ago that the password on ||bookface|| was changed and 1+ million lines down in rockyou(I've still to crack that Task1#1 password), and I've surpassed 2 hours easily in my current room. But I guess that's a discussion better fitted somewhere else, just not quite sure 5 min on brute force is always accurate.

[eager fulcrum]

Bookface is older than that regulation

[tacit forge]

I am currently in two subscriber-only rooms that I joined when they were free rooms. As such, they are currently in my rooms list. I want to leave them. The problem is that I need to enter them to leave them which I can't do. I can't use the API to leave them without an API key (Which seems to be on a per-request basis), and I can't simulate a leave request from a different room since the leaves are CSRF protected, and it seems like the CSRF token you need is inside the room.

[eager fulcrum]

@tacit forge Set the CSRF token to "x"

IDK if they patched that

[tacit forge]

It seems they did

(Even when using _csrf :p)

You see the line that says file exists?

That means you have more than one running

[exotic comet]

ok thnks

I'm trying to configure Burpsuite to complete the VulnUversity room. I've followed the configuring instructions on Burpsuite's website, checking that the proxy listener is active, and it is running, however when i visit the http:\burpsuite page to get my certificate, it redirects me to the configuring page. I've ran an lsof, and it does show that the burpsuite application is using the correct port, not another application. I'm confused why I can't load my certificate page.

Do I maybe need to add a noproxy setting for Firefox?

[eager fulcrum]

Firstly, use foxyproxy so you can quickly toggle

Secondly, give it a try?

[cobalt herald]

foxyproxy, I'll check that out. I've managed to get a different page, but now it just says Unknown host: burpsuite

I'm even getting intercepts back, lol. And now the page is just spinning. Maybe I'll look for a different tool to complete this room.

[toxic python]

did you set up foxyproxy yet? @cobalt herald

[cobalt herald]

@toxic python I did not. However I did just get it working without. Forgot to check the all protocols box. Does foxyproxy just make it so I can easily switch that without going into settings each time?

[eager fulcrum]

Foxyproxy is seperate to firefox proxy settings

remove the firefox proxy settings

[cobalt herald]

I've got it downloaded and configured, going to reload burpsuite and give it a shot.

[proven sedge]

i just joined and im on task 3 of the first free room i go to access my machine but i cannot connect with the ip given.

[eager fulcrum]

What room? Connect how? You can't just open an IP in your browser and expect to see a webserver.

[proven sedge]

the welcome room and on task three it tells you to deploy a machine then go to https://(machines-IP)

[eager fulcrum]

http://

Not https

Are you connected to the VPN?

Have you given the machine a minute or two to boot?

[proven sedge]

yes sorry that is what i meant and no i am not

[eager fulcrum]

You need to connect to the VPN.

The welcome room does tell you that.

[proven sedge]

yes thats my bad i red it wrong

[simple flower]

i cannot connect to my room anyone help

[eager fulcrum]

i cannot connect to my room anyone help
@simple flower Tell us what you're doing

And what you're expecting

And what room

[simple flower]

i am unable to deploy the machine Basic Pentesting

[eager fulcrum]

You've changed what you're saying like 5 times

Did you click the deploy button?

[simple flower]

@eager fulcrum yes

[eager fulcrum]

And did you get an IP address?

[simple flower]

@eager fulcrum yes.

[eager fulcrum]

So you are not unable to deploy the Basic Pentesting machine.

You have successfully deployed it.

[simple flower]

but when i scan this ip address through nmap it shows hosts seems down

[eager fulcrum]

How log have you given it to boot?

[simple flower]

27 minutes

[eager fulcrum]

Then you are not properly connected to the VPN

[simple flower]

but in access page it showing properly connected

[eager fulcrum]

Ignore the access page

It lies to you

A lot.

Never, under any circumstance, trust it.

[simple flower]

so how can i know it connected or not

[eager fulcrum]

If you can access resources that are on the VPN, like pinging the VPN gateway or machines that respond to pings, then you are connected

If you can't, then you are not.

[simple flower]

after i pinging the machine ip nothing happens

[eager fulcrum]

If you can access resources that are on the VPN, like pinging the VPN gateway or machines that respond to pings, then you are connected
@eager fulcrum

You are not properly connected to the VPN.

As I said 4 minutes ago.

Do you believe me yet?

[simple flower]

yes

i need solution . what should i do?

[eager fulcrum]

Are you connecting from Windows or Linux?

[simple flower]

linux

[eager fulcrum]

Post a screenshot of the terminal where OpenVPN is running.

A full screenshot.

[simple flower]

ok wait

ok

Thans @eager fulcrum it solved

[eager fulcrum]

Keep your openVPN running in a terminal tab

Keep track of that terminal tab

Control C in that tab when you want to disconnect. Just one control C.

Do not start another VPN connection.

it was announced a week later i think

[abstract plover]

Been having this problem from yesterday, I've been trying to connect to the OWASP Juice Shop Site, from both the Burp Suite Room and the OWASP Juice Shop room. Both for some reason just keep loading and never seem to connect. I tried restarting my VM, Deploying/ Terminating. Also, i am connected to the VPN properly, i checked. Any ideas why this issue is happening?

[bronze vale]

Have you waited for the machine to boot up properly

[abstract plover]

yes 20 minutes waited in both rooms

is it an issue with NAT? or?

[bronze vale]

Are you able to ping the room

[abstract plover]

yes

[bronze vale]

And can you perform an nmap scan

[abstract plover]

Sorry just tried to ping the room its not working.....

100% packet loss

[bronze vale]

Sounds like a networking issue

Regenerate your config file

[abstract plover]

just pinged again 57% packet loss

[bronze vale]

Make sure you’re waiting long enough for the machine to boot up and finally make sure your internet is working properly

[abstract plover]

How do i make sure my internet is working properly?

When i regenerate my config file do i need to re-download the file?

[bronze vale]

Yes redownlaod the file, make sure if you’re in a location with 2 config files download the other one, e.g if you’re using EU1 use Eu2

I haven’t heard anything about those rooms being down so it is most like a vpn issue/network issue

[abstract plover]

i just pinged again without regenerating config file and 0% packet loss

but the page still isnt loading up

[bronze vale]

wait for the machine to boot

[abstract plover]

Update on the issue the machine has been booting for 1 hour, yet still cant access the site. (Ping is still showing 0% Packet Loss

Should i just Terminate and regen the config file?

[bronze vale]

Yes...

[grand mauve]

can i redo a room?

[toxic python]

theres currently no way to reset the question progress, but youre welcome to redeploy the machine and redo the box itself as many times as you want @grand mauve

[barren birch]

@grand mauve Which room? I can reset it for you

How to disable Mail Notifications such as "You've been awarded a badge!"?

[eager fulcrum]

The mail specifies this

Deleting your account is the solution that it gives

[naive dust]

very user-friendly

[abstract plover]

Ive been having trouble with this for the past 6 hours, The OWASP Juice Shop room does not load up for me at all, Ive been told to regen the config file (i did) and wait for the machine to boot (waited for 2 hours) and its still not loading up. The most that I got was a grey background screen. Is this common with this site. or ?...

[eager fulcrum]

That probably means your VPN is still broken

[abstract plover]

Its not, i just completed the WebAppSec 101 page

[eager fulcrum]

What's the IP of the deployed instance?

[abstract plover]

Juice Shop?

10.10.49.168

[eager fulcrum]

Works just fine for me

Nothing wrong with that VM

[abstract plover]

this is my screen for the past 40 min

is it a problem with my NAT with this specific site? / because when i did the WebAppSec 101 page it connected to the site pretty fast

its just Juice Shop that never connects me

[eager fulcrum]

NAT shouldn't factor in to it

The VPN should be running directly on kali

[abstract plover]

yeah it is....

[eager fulcrum]

So NAT doesn't factor in to this at all

Do you have burp suite intercepting?

[abstract plover]

then any idea what is?

nope

all is closed

[eager fulcrum]

Change VPN server

There's nothing wrong with the VM

[abstract plover]

whats ur VPN server

[eager fulcrum]

EU Regular 1 but it doesn't matter

Just change to a different one

[abstract plover]

ill try that

[versed kestrel]

I'm trying to access the ftp server for day 11 of the christmas challenges and I am unable to list files. I tried "pass" for passive mode but that doesn't help.

I'm getting a bunch of 500 Illegal PORT command.

[eager fulcrum]

Try using passive mode

If that doesn't work, switch to an EU VPN server

[versed kestrel]

I tried passive, let me try switching servers

thanks

[eager fulcrum]

EU1, EU2, or EU VIP 1

IDK about EU2 VIP
