Gotcha

It might take me a bit because it'll be my first time working with Falcon and Selenium

Good morning all, was wondering if anyone knows the fix for ssh while connected with OpenVPN, I can ping/nmap but can't ssh to rooms... with ssh -vv user@IP, it sits at the following before getting a connection closed :
debug1: kex: algorithm: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
debug1: kex: host key algorithm: ssh-rsa
debug1: kex: server->client cipher: aes128-ctr MAC: umac-64@openssh.com compression: none

debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(2048<3072<8192) sent
Connection closed by 10.10. ....

bronze vale Jul 20, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

Is ssh open

sullen ginkgo Jul 20, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

THM shows that I'm connected, my tunnel looks good, can ping and nmap no problem, to be fair I'm using nmcli....

bronze vale Jul 20, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

Also you don’t need ssh -vv

#

It’s just ssh user@<Machine IP>

sullen ginkgo Jul 20, 2020, 3:40 PM

the -vv is to troubleshoot

toxic python Jul 20, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

try rebooting

#

oh, that works

#

yea it seems like its on your side, so nothing we can really help wiht

sullen ginkgo Jul 20, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

it's server side

#

debug1: kex: host key algorithm: ssh-rsa
debug1: kex: server->client cipher: aes128-ctr MAC: umac-64@openssh.com compression: none
debug1: kex: client->server cipher: aes128-ctr MAC: umac-64@openssh.com compression: none
debug3: send packet: type 34
debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(2048<3072<8192) sent

so seeing this, changing my ssh command to "ssh -m umac-64@openssh.com $usr@$ip" got me in 🙂

#

technically, the server side HMAC's are insecure, so my ssh config file doesn't allow for connection that way, so a little bit of both my config and server side config... just incase anyone has this problem in the future...!

What do you mean by "connect"? Precisely what are you doing.

Thanks for replying. I am connected to the vpn, the only rooms in which deployed machines have worked have been Welcome, and Basic Pentesting, in which pasting the ip in a new tab was enough

#

but for the Nmap room, how exactly am i supposed to use the deployed machine?

eager fulcrum Jul 20, 2020, 9:19 PM

Yeah, so you can't quite do that for basic pentesting

You're not meant to interact with the machine in the nmap room, other than scanning it

This is going to be a dumb question, i apologize

Sometimes, you'll run into situations where you can't use certain tools period, without sudo

#

Like f/e, "command doesn't exist" when you know it does, but you don't have root.

eager fulcrum Jul 20, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

(This is because Kali 2020 doesn't add sbin to PATH for your user but does for Sudo, sbin is typically for administrative tools or tools that need root)

i keep getting an error opening configuration file when trying to connect to openvpn. it just randomly stopped working. Was working perfectly fine, I don’t have multiple vpns open. Any path to file config I get the same error message. Did I do something wrong. I kept trying to download new config flies and got the same message everytime

Earlier today, a machine in the advent of cyber was running extremely slow and keep disconnecting the connection, was wondering if it was or there is an issue in the system?

#

i might just subscribe the membership

bronze vale Jul 21, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

If the connection keeps disconnecting it’s most likely on your end. Make sure your internet is running to speed and if it continues you’ll have to switch your VPN config file.

I haven’t heard any issues with that machine but @ me if it continues and I’ll see if I have the same issue.

TryHackMe

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

• Step 1

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

• Step 2

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

• Step 3

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

• Step 4

Type sudo killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter

• Step 5

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

how do you check if you're connected to the openVPN ip address

btw i dont use sudo, instead i do sudo su when i start a new terminal. There is nothing wrong with that right?

#

how do you check if you're connected to the openVPN ip address
@signal yarrow Use the VPN room

@naive dust sudo openvpn configFileGoesHere.ovpn is better because there's less code running as root

It looks like you're not importing your file from the right location.

how do i check that? and i was connecting to the vpn like that before

deep trellis Jul 22, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

Are you in the same directory as the .ovpn file?

hallow edge Jul 22, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

i see what your saying

#

let me try

#

bro im an idiot

#

sorry im newer to all this stuff, to access files, i must be in the directory? or can you sudo an absolute path? @deep trellis

deep trellis Jul 22, 2020, 12:31 AM

Yeah you can do that.

I guess its in your downloads?

can you give an example ? would it be ~/Downloads openvpn Johnb26.ovpn

Full full path is fine as well as mostly full path

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

Hmm, my internet speed its fine i think

#

i just have problems only with the vpn of the site

#

if some support can help, i can stream if need

toxic python Jul 22, 2020, 7:54 PM

#

if you ping the site, whats the ttl

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

give me a sec

#

61

toxic python Jul 22, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

hmm, what exactly is going slow for you then?

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

keep loading for like 3 minutes

toxic python Jul 22, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

when you say rooms, the rendering of the page, the VMs being deployed?

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

Yeah

toxic python Jul 22, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

yea to which

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

i mean, i just deploy the room, and have to wait like 3 minutes for render the page

#

and if the page just render, i have to wait another 3 minutes for just do something

toxic python Jul 22, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

to get this clear:

you go to the room and it loads fine
you hit deploy and visit the IP of the deployed machine and its slow?

#

is that correct?

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

Yup

toxic python Jul 22, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

ok so youre saying the deployed machines are slow

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

Exactly

#

Sorry if missunderstand

toxic python Jul 22, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

they need 3+ minutes to boot up, theyre VMs

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

But afther boot up have the same problem

toxic python Jul 22, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

so after you hit deploy you need to wait a few minutes so the VM can spin up all its services

#

do you have any machines up now?

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

yes

#

i press deploy ago 5 minutes

#

Now the page render

#

if i just press F5 or press some buttons the page keeps loading for like 5 minutes

toxic python Jul 22, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

can you give me the IP

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

http://10.10.80.215/

yes

bronze vale Jul 22, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

The room loaded extremely fast so it's either vpn or connection issues

yea it works completely fine for me too i just visited it as well

bronze vale Jul 22, 2020, 8:02 PM

Have you tried using non-vip vpn config

toxic python Jul 22, 2020, 8:02 PM

this is on your end

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

I will try with non-vip

#

Thanks anyway, i just finish the room, i will try another, thanks!

bronze vale Jul 22, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

How can you finish the room if you can't even connect to it 🤔

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

Wait wait, i can connect it

#

but takes too long for render

#

and takes too long for just do something

#

let me do an example:

The pages render after 3 minutes : http://10.10.80.215/

When i just try to http://10.10.80.215/../../etc/passwd takes another 3 minutes or more

#

If do http://10.10.80.215/../../someuser/ takes another 3 minutes or more

toxic python Jul 22, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

it just worked for both of us, its gotta be on your end

oak prawn Jul 22, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

Well, just if another guy have the same problem, when i was trying to find the problem, i see in 'ifconfig' i got like 10 diff ips from the vpn ( at this momment i dont know why, i think maybe its because i just was trying with others regions and that ips was saved?, who knows), so, i just reboot my pc and the problem have been solved, i dont have lag anymore, so, thanks @toxic python and @bronze vale

There's some uh... routing weirdness between AWS regions

Means the packets don't properly come from your IP unless you're on an EU server

eager fulcrum Jul 23, 2020, 1:36 AM

I have changed my openvpn vpn, changed server, and did everything in the last 2 days but i am unable to do anything, i am using free version but why do machines get disconnected?

I am doing the agent sudo room right now and the machine came back for like 10 seconds, i ran my ||gobuster scan|| and then boom it was gone, it was gone

Please fix this, its been 2 days my classes are starting soon and i have not been able to learn anything

#

i have a reserve kali too so i will try with that

#

You could try regenerating your config, and that'd fix any weird multiple-connection issues since the new config file should invalidate all other connections

#

Otherwise it could be a firewall/router issue on your end

Hello there,

I'm having an issue regarding tun0 device on Kali VM in the browser. In Network Devices room and Metasploit, I need this device, but it seems not to exist anywhere. ip addr doesn't show tun0 in metasploit console.
I search online for answers but all I found was "how to install OpenVPN" or "How does TUN works" :/

Any idea how I can fix this ?
Thx for help ^^

celest sapphire Jul 23, 2020, 8:30 AM

#

kali vm doesn't have tun0 iirc, it is directly connected to the internal network

#

type ip a and look for the device that has the same IP as the ip of the machine that is shown when you deploy it

#

you can use that device instead of tun

wintry trellis Jul 23, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

Ok thank you very much ! I'll look at it right now !

naive dust Jul 23, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

Yeah, I think for the in-browser Kali VM, the ip address is usually eth0 i think

#

since it's a "local machine" to the network

wintry trellis Jul 23, 2020, 8:47 AM

Indeed, I used eth0 and it worked fine 👌

Try sudo su first, then do use the command

Hi 🙂 I just completed the OWASP juice shop room, and some tasks didn't give any points while others gave 30. I completed the room but have less than half the points of others who completed it. Is it normal to get 0 points for some tasks or did I do something wrong?

bronze vale Jul 23, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

Points were re-calculated

#

You don't get points for questions that don't reqiure an answer

#

And people get points for being the first one to solve the room etc.

#

Don't compare your points to the ones that other people get ;)

hushed rampart Jul 23, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

I just looked at the graph when I was closing it, and saw that they were getting 30 for tasks where I got 0, so was just curious

But if they re-calculated it to 0 for tasks without answers, it makes sense. Thanks 🙂

Quick question, Does the in-browser kali machine change to a different VM each time I terminate and relaunch?

eager fulcrum Jul 24, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

it's the same VM from the same template

#

But nothing is kept

#

All changes are lost.

dusky latch Jul 24, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

Thank you, I assume there is nothing I can do the keep the changes. It is kind of frustrating, for instance all burp suite settings and certificates installed are lost each time the system terminates.

Have you checked which ports are open?

I realize that running something in a browser has its limitations, but is the browser Kali running slow normal or is just something wrong on my end?

flint hawk Jul 24, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

Wdym by "slow"? Like as in there's some latency with inputs or...?

nova hearth Jul 24, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

Latency with inputs

#

for example

That's going to be normal with remote desktop over the internet

#

Yeah, that's what I figured. Just wanted to make sure that this is the norm

flint hawk Jul 24, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

Yeah that's norm. You can try and help mitigate some of the latency by deploying the Kali machine in the US (select the dropdown) if you live in the US, but if you're in Europe, your options are to use the UK one.

nova hearth Jul 24, 2020, 6:51 AM

has anyone had the issue of of getting error messages in tryhackme when having burp running, mainly ca certificate error messages?

Is this specifically TryHackMe

#

Or is it in general

just tryhackme

bronze vale Jul 24, 2020, 1:44 PM

Have you setup the Burp certificate correctly?

versed yacht Jul 24, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

i think so, only having the error so far when trying to answer a question in tryhackme, was able to browse in the juiceshop vm with intercept on with no issues

#

guess the easy fix is to just disable burp when answering a question

bronze vale Jul 24, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

Just disable intercept and if you need anything go to the intruder tab, it records everything there. If you really need to intercept a request then turn it on before submitting the request.

have you checked the stability of your internet as well? latency? consistent ping to google etc?

No packet loss or latency on my end. The logs seem to suggest it's auth-related

that is strange. i'm not sure when you have last done it but perhaps re-issue the cert and re-download/connect? i had to do that once before to get stable.

Hey, I'm trying to do the RPMetasploit room, but when deploying the box, the loading bar won't go past 70%. At the moment, it has been running for 15 minutes. I've had it running for more than 30 mins before, but it won't start fully. I've been attempting to go through the room anyway and have been getting the following error when running the exploit. I don't know if it's related or not

#

📎 unknown.png

#

I'm just wondering if there is any fix to this, or is it just the box setting up very slowly

#

#

This is what I get if I type 'show options'

Hey wondering if anyone could help. I've been trying to use TryHackMe for the first time but I can't connect to any of the machines. I was able to connect to the welcome machine, but then when I went to do the learn Linux room I couldn't connect (not even to the welcome machine again).

You can't open an IP in your browser and expect a web page

bronze vale Jul 25, 2020, 8:21 AM

#

You aren’t meant to su to shiba1

#

Have you ssh’d into the machine

golden ferry Jul 25, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

bronze vale Jul 25, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

If you type “man su”

#

It should tell you everything about the command

#

But usually you just do su <User Name>

@naive dust no just the one in the vm

naive dust Jul 25, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

Could you show a screenshot of when you're "trying to connect" to the VM

#

Not sure exactly what you're trying to do if it's an issue with your command or the VPN

torpid vapor Jul 25, 2020, 9:30 AM
