i managed to do it
i dont need help anymore

@eager fulcrum Sorry for the delay in response. In the vm i recently uploaded, I completely blew away the firewall to eliminate that as a possibility. I finally managed to get a ping, but the connection is pretty spotty. I paid for the subscription, just to see what the increased resources would do, and even though it bumps the ram from 512mb to 1gb, it still walks a snails pace, taking 4-5 minutes to process a remote cmd prompt.
eager fulcrum
That could just be your connection.
pure sky
possibly, I am sitting currently at about 300mbps down and 35 mbps up with 11ms latency. Though I guess it does depend on where the west coast servers are located.
eager fulcrum
The VM still deploys in Ireland.

You're still running multiple VPN connections
And until you fix that, we can't help
barren birch
@wraith pebble sudo killall -9 openvpn
naive dust
Disable/kill all your openvpn services, restart the machine, and try the above steps from scratch.
naive dust
gotta kill it extra good just to make sure
wraith pebble
@barren birch still my connectio is crying π
wraith pebble
@naive dust i killed it and hanged it several times
eager fulcrum
One or other of those will suffice π
@barren birch They have the systemd openvpn unit enabled still
barren birch
Or better yet https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting
Use that
@barren birch They have the systemd openvpn unit enabled still
@eager fulcrum Aye, but restarting will also kill the openvpn services
Hence doing that too is overkill
eager fulcrum
Restarting won't disable it tho
barren birch
Why are we trying to disable the OpenVPN service?
eager fulcrum
because they shouldn't be using it!
wraith pebble
am walking in a loop of restarting and again lossing connection since two weeks
eager fulcrum
because the service is if you want it to connect automatically
Rather than connecting manually
barren birch
Ooh, I've just read back a bit
Yes, kill that
Sorry James -- didn't realise they'd activated it like that
eager fulcrum
You can use the service, but you have to know what you're doing. I've used it for some projects. It's better to connect manually if you're actively using the machine.

Not all machines respond to pings

Then you are connected to the VPN
wraith pebble
do you think Steel Mountain room having connection issue?

No, it probably doesn't respond to pings as it is Windows
You do not share your VM with anyone else
When you click deploy, it creates a VM
When you terminate, that VM goes away forever

naive dust
Also, never feel like you're the odd one out if you get stuck or not sure what to do. It happens to all of us
Also don't confuse the second type of people with people who ask you to do your own research π
@vernal ruin I always try re-search to the best I can before coming into a discord and asking for help

Ahh, im back but this would be the MachineIP Correct?
zealous yoke
Nope, that would be the IP address assigned to you within TryHackMe. Youd use this if you're using reverse shells, or downloading files from yourself onto a instance
The IP address will be contained within a card within the room that you deploy it from
If a room has an instance, there'll be a green "Deploy" button will spin up an instance dedicated to you

That's it!! So where you seen the green icon on the right of the tasks, that indicates there's a deployable instance

i accidentally ran something like this .. how do i exit it ? i tried cntrl + D , and cntrl + C ,, and they don't work.
eager fulcrum
Type "reset". This isn't directly THM related, you're asking for help with a room really.
You ran cat on the binary
Don't do that
undone ore
yahh as i said it was an accident .. i typed "cat $USER" when i was supposed to type "cat Shiba2"
eager fulcrum
I mean you weren't supposed to do either
Because both ways, you're catting the binary
undone ore
i was actually. it's written on the tutorial.
undone ore
it's an example to follow up with .. just like any tutorial. to be able to get a hands on how a certain function works.
eager fulcrum
You are not meant to cat a binary
It has characters that can mess up your terminal
You're choosing to run those commands. You're not meant to. Because they will mess up your terminal.
undone ore
i'm not going to argue .. but why is it there if it's going to mess up my terminal ?
i'm sure lots of people probably did the same.
eager fulcrum
Because it's an example
It messes up your terminal because you're catting a binary
In the screenshots, the files being catted aren't binaries
undone ore
got it .. now since i did that, should i type "reset" to reset everything ?
undone ore
got it .. will restart the whole thing if i face any problem because of that mistake.

eager fulcrum
It supports jpegs
Or it should
If you want help with an error, you really need to show us the error
naive dust
I tried using a PNG instead and it worked, never mind
naive dust
what gives? who can describe a difference from jpeg and png?
an image is an image
btw don't tell me computers don't know the difference. because why is there a difference in the format

Hey I found an issue with the Windows PrivEsc room. https://tryhackme.com/room/windows10privesc
It will shutdown at 58 minutes instead of 0 minutes like it should. The timer on tryhackme will continue as if it never shutdown.

@vivid ruin Do you remember the IP by any chance?
When I tested that room I had it running > 1h, so weird it randomally died on you.
Thanks
eager fulcrum
if you can
deep trellis
Our logs say it was manually terminated.
vivid ruin
Oh ok
it stopped at 58 for me
I am on the Ip I just gave you so it might happen again.
deep trellis
Did you terminate it? Or did the machine stop running / wasn't accessible?
deep trellis
Ah okay, thats weird - there are a few that just stop running after 1h, I will take a look into it. Thanks for giving me the IP's, it help diagnse the issue
vivid ruin
Skidy here is the ip for one that hasnt expired on thm, but shutdown. 10.10.34.218
eager fulcrum
@deep trellis
vivid ruin
yeah timer still says 48 minutes
deep trellis
No crash, it just shutdown
I started it back up for you
Thanks for letting me know.
Will investigate, sometime this weekend.
vivid ruin
sure, I just wanted to give you an example of it to help.

Ok well I'm going to terminate it now to restart it if thats ok

Feels like a really dumb question, but I'm just getting started with tryhackme, and when I try to load "http://MACHINE_IP" (no, I'm not actually using "MACHINE_IP") Firefox says it's unable to connect. I only have one VPN connection running, my browser connects to the internet just fine, and I ran openvpn as root. No errors other than on the browser side. Ubuntu 16.04.
eager fulcrum
You need to click deploy
MACHINE_IP is a space that's replaced with the VM IP address when you deploy
midnight crystal
@eager fulcrum my god, thank you
eager fulcrum
If you're still seeing MACHINE_IP, then you haven't deployed it

Welp, I'm off to a great start xD

So, I'm not able to access my deployed machine. I'm positive that my openVPN is set up correctly because I was able to finish the first task of the example machine.

What is do you mean by "not able to access"?

itβs not their fault itβs a problem with CloudFlare today nothing they can do about it
CloudFlare has been having problems all day today
also donβt try to ping @ here first off it doesnβt work and second not everyone in this discord wants to be pinged by you if you could use it
exotic vortex
in some cases, getting the attention is exactly what required.

no

I believe as an owner, I would like to know if my website was down

Not of all 16000 members of the server it ain't

Are you connected to the VPN?
Yes
1h
and are you sure this machine has a running http server?
Which room is this?
Linux
Please read through the room, it doesn't ask you to connect to it via web browser.
Machines will sometimes not have a running http server on port 80, which means that you won't be able to connect to it via web browser automatically
need to use PuTTy?
Please read through the room.
eager fulcrum
Please take the time to work through the room at your own pace
naive dust
It'll literally guide you through everything :)
PuTTY is for Windows. If you're using Linux itself, you won't really need anything besides the ssh command.
Oh, my bad, sorry, actually i don't want to spoiler me
Well, thanks for all
It's not a spoiler- it's a walkthrough room so it's there to teach you the basics
Don't be afraid of being guided through the fundamentals/basics
Once you have a firm grasp/understanding of how to operate at a normal level, then you should start worrying about figuring things out on your own

How do i install msfvenom from bash ?
steel wadi
True @toxic python but i had no luck installing it in a deployed machine in https://tryhackme.com/room/commonlinuxprivesc it doesnt seem to download any files from the external websites and it doesnt have it preinstalled.
toxic python
The machines deployed on THM donβt have Internet
If you need to download something to the machine you should get it to your attacker machine and then download it from the attacker machine to the target when theyβre connected to the same network (aka when youβre on the openvpn vpn)
steel wadi
but shouldnt it be on the deployed machine itself? whom can i report this to?
toxic python
Nobody, thereβs nothing wrong here
Do you have a kali machine?
The machines you deploy are to be attacked. You shouldnβt be making exploits on them you should be transferring exploits over to them
steel wadi
Got it.
toxic python
Cool π

toxic python
βVPN and other technical related question to TryHackMeβ
This isnβt for the VPN and unless Iβm misunderstanding your GPU drivers arenβt THM related
naive dust
They are, since I need them to continue my "Crach the hash" course
sharp bear
@naive dust no no this is for technical site questions and vpn questions
toxic python
Thanks π
sharp bear
@naive dust since youβre already here I suggest just hash cracking on your host system or using John the ripper in your vm setting up drivers for vms is much harder than itβs worth
naive dust
The fact that I asked for help at first (since it was related to my GPU driver) didn't seem to bother, tho
@naive dust since youβre already here I suggest just hash cracking on your host system or using John the ripper in your vm setting up drivers for vms is much harder than itβs worth
@sharp bear But I'm not running Kali on a VM, or do you mean like install Kali on a VM in my Windows 10 boot?
sharp bear
no I suggest installing hashcat onto windows 10 and using that instead it will save you many headaches
bronze vale
(newer version of hashcat auto switches to cpu if it can't detect gpu)

If not, you can copy from your terminal using Ctrl+Shift+C

Enable clipboard access in your browser
undone ore
@eager fulcrum just allowed it, and tried the ctrl + C it didn't work and also tried the ctrl+shift+c like @vestal beacon said , and it also didn't work. should i restart browser after allowing ?

It should just work
vestal beacon
You highlighted what you want to copy first yeah?

I'm not exactly sure what issue you're encountering, so seeing a picture of what commands you've input and the output from the terminal would help a lot in troubleshooting.

When you say can't enter any commands, do you mean like pressing enter doesn't do anything, or you can't see anything that you type?

Hi, I'm getting the error message "Uh-oh! You can only deploy a maximum of 3 machines at a time." when trying to deploy the machine for the Metasploit room, as far as I can tell I don't have any other machines deployed besides my kali machine, is there a way to check/kill the machines running?
eager fulcrum
Without going through your recent rooms, not yet
There's an API route for it
@celest sapphire did you write a script for this?
Oh, nope, wrote a script for something else
flint hawk
Yeah you would have to through the rooms you did most recently and check. It would be cool if there was a widget that told you your active machines. Maybe on the dashboard or something.
heady orchid
Alright, i will check all my recent rooms. Thanks!
celest sapphire
@celest sapphire did you write a script for this?
@eager fulcrum for what
eager fulcrum
Yeah you would have to through the rooms you did most recently and check. It would be cool if there was a widget that told you your active machines. Maybe on the dashboard or something.
@flint hawk It's been suggested, and it'd be easy to implment
@celest sapphire Show all your active VMs. But the one you wrote was for leaving a sub only room
celest sapphire
showing all active VMs is just visiting one route
if there's demand i could make some js snippets you can paste into your console that'd kill all of them or leave the room
gentle cedar
so update on the openvpn situation , I ran through what you suggested @eager fulcrum , there were multiple things running , and even after kill and running it again I still get the same prob
eager fulcrum
sudo killall -9 openvpn
Connect once
Do not start a new VPN session with each room etc
gentle cedar
so I did that and it didnt really help , I went ahead and got a new config file ( which I already did this morning , but didn't help me then lol ) , and it displayed the openvpn page ( kinda , the image isn't complete , maybe normal ? )

0 clue what you mean
and it displayed the openvpn page ( kinda , the image isn't complete , maybe normal ? )
flint hawk
It should show the full image
gentle cedar
Can I send a screenshot here ?
eager fulcrum
Try to crop out flags
gentle cedar
I tried to open the image separately and I get an error after a while telling me it has errors
eager fulcrum
But that implies you're not really connected properly
gentle cedar
what's stumbling me is that I completed the basic pen room without a hitch , then logged off and when I got back in it bugged out
could I maybe somehow reset openvpn ?
eager fulcrum
You can reinstall it, potentially
But there's not really anything to reset
All the config is in the config file

Just try reinstalling openvpn and regenerating your config file. Unless itβs a connection issue nobody can do anything
flint hawk
What does the terminal running openvpn say?
eager fulcrum
The Push Request bit is it disconnecting
gentle cedar
I'm not sure , how can I tell ?
eager fulcrum
That was a statement. Not a question. It didn't end in a question mark.
gentle cedar
well , I figured " is it " sounded like a question sry
gentle cedar
Re-installing didn't change anything , I'll jump back into this tomorrow and update you if anything changes

@eager fulcrum and whats a VPN configuration file?
eager fulcrum
The thing you downloaded from the access page
eager fulcrum
It won't
Instructions are for an older version of OpenVPN
@deep trellis Any chance this can get updated?

Import shows up for me π

naive dust

@eager fulcrum On the learn linux room are you supposed to put in your ip?
toxic python
@naive dust put it where?
naive dust
PuTTY
flint hawk
No, you're SSHing into it from PuTTY
The machine you spool up inside the room
Your OVPN IP is so you're on THM's network and can access THM's servers.
flint hawk
In /zthlinux, there's a box you spool up to learn off of that you're putting commands into
You ssh to that box thru PuTTY
eager fulcrum
In task 1, there's a green button with a cloud
It says deploy.
When you click that, it creates the machine that you need to use for the tasks
You will be given a 10.10.x.x IP address for it
eager fulcrum
That's the IP address of the machine you're "attacking" or just SSHing into this time
Most of the time, you won't be given credentials
You'll have to hack your way in.
flint hawk
OVPN is only used to connect to the network. It's how you interface with THM's machines or else you won't be able to since they're on a different network than what's on the surface web.

I am facing this issue, while using ftp at Advent of Cyber Task 16. Is there anything from my side?
naive dust
You have to turn on passive mode
verbal dragon
I did but it refuses
eager fulcrum
Use an EU VPN server
naive dust
@eager fulcrum where is the deploy cloud?
eager fulcrum
I think we found the issue lately, we're looking into it @verbal dragon
naive dust
srry i'm new i'm new and I want to learn this
eager fulcrum
@naive dust Task one. Right hand side.
Have you completed the welcome room already?
flint hawk
Yes
naive dust
You probably should do that room though
flint hawk
It's a tutorial for the website
eager fulcrum
I recommend going back and doing that forst
verbal dragon
@eager fulcrum , Hope u will fix this soon!
eager fulcrum
I won't
Because I'm a discord mod
Skidy and Ashu are looking into it
For now, use an EU VPN
flint hawk
James too busy being the helpful OG to fix things
