It's definitely a VPN issue.

Are you able to switch regions on the VPN and see if that is the issue (If you are in Europe, switch from Eu1 to Eu2 etc.)

Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, I was following the openvpn room and when I did sudo openvpn /home/icytower1337/Downloads/IcyTower1337.ovpn
it started doing things, but hung on

Sat Jul 25 15:56:27 2020 WARNING: this configuration may cache passwords in memory -- use the auth-nocache option to prevent this
Sat Jul 25 15:56:27 2020 Initialization Sequence Completed

and didnt go back to icytower1337@IcyTower1337:~$

#

I did ctrl+c to stop but then I think it closed the connection

bronze vale Jul 25, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

What's the issue

#

When you perform the command sudo openvpn /home/icytower1337/Downloads/IcyTower1337.ovpn leave that window open

#

Open another terminal window and you're ready to hack.

spare cedar Jul 25, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

oh alright

#

my mistake then

#

I thought it would go back to command line and I'd stop with with something like openvpn -s while it ran in the background my bad

bronze vale Jul 25, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

If you want to run it in the background you can type sudo openvpn /home/icytower1337/Downloads/IcyTower1337.ovpn & but you're recommended not to as it can cause other issues.

In #room-help I was explaining how I'm tryna nmap scan the room in nmap and when i $ nmap -v -sS it says the host seems down but when I $ nmap -v -sS -PN it says the host is up but all the ports are filtered. I'm being told this is a vpn issue. IK that the access page is unreliable but it says im connected there. Seems weird to me that it'd say the host is up with the vpn not working

HTB does TCP which Egypt doesn't block

THM is UDP

Control Z backgrounds it, which is typically what leads to people running multiple VPNs

@pulsar bluff from the sounds of it you’re attempting to access your private vpn IP which does not have a web server you can either ping your private vpn IP or deploy a machine in tryhackme and ping / access the provided IP address I would suggest deploying the openvpn room just to test everything is working

pulsar bluff Jul 26, 2020, 12:12 PM

#

How do I deploy the OpenVPN room?

bronze vale Jul 26, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

My bad

#

At the bottom

#

Click Task 6

#

Then on the task there is a big green deploy button

#

Click it

#

Then a little header will appear

pulsar bluff Jul 26, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

Yeah I got that and got the flag

bronze vale Jul 26, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

Oops that had the answer kek

#

So is it all sorted?

pulsar bluff Jul 26, 2020, 12:16 PM

#

Kind of... I have to access the terminal with PuTTY and of course access is denied

bronze vale Jul 26, 2020, 12:16 PM

#

You don't need to access it

#

In order to use putty

#

the machine needs SSH to be activated

#

But that machine only has a webserver

#

Hey my VPN disconnects again and again, because of that whenever I ssh into the machine, it freezes until VPN connection gets re-established

#

Any fix for it?

bronze vale Jul 26, 2020, 12:28 PM

#

It freezes?

#

Oh

bronze vale Jul 26, 2020, 12:29 PM

#

Well if it's disconnecting there's two reasons;
Your wifi is slow
There's something wrong with your configuration file

#

Have you attempted to regenerate your configuration file?

real topaz Jul 26, 2020, 12:29 PM

#

No

#

I'll try that

Hi I’m new to tryhackme. For the basic pen testing room do I need to have kali installed on my own laptop because it says Open VPN needs to be utilized. Or does this just happen naturally if I use one of the kali machines vm from the try hack me rooms? Like is it already connected to the server or whatever it needs to be connected to? So basically do you have any suggestions on how I should get started on the basic pen testing room with a Mac?

eager fulcrum Jul 27, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

The TryHackMe my-machine kali is already on the network, so you don't need to connect to the VPN from that

#

If you want to interact with the machines through anything that isn't the THM Kali, you need to connect to the VPN on that device

bronze vale Jul 27, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

This is what all the people who is it have told me 🤔

eager fulcrum Jul 27, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

Generate a new VPN config or switch server (or both)

bronze vale Jul 27, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

Apparently the OS dies after updates

wicked ledge Jul 27, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

I just spent ages on the Alfred room trying to upload the powershell scripts. Kept failing on my local VM, worked instantly with the THM hosted machine.

bronze vale Jul 27, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

Sounds like VPN issues then

wicked ledge Jul 27, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

Yes @eager fulcrum , I'm running the VPN on the NM, not the host.

eager fulcrum Jul 27, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

Then try the other things we've suggested

#

It works perfectly fine for other people, so your question of "are there any known issues" has been answered

flint hawk Jul 27, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

My metal Kali has been stable, but I 100% suggest a VN because you can fix mistakes or bad updates; if they happen

wicked ledge Jul 27, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Should I be connected to the VPN when I run the troubleshoot script?

naive dust Jul 27, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Yes.

#

Otherwise it's just gonna tell you "you're not connected to the vpn"

wicked ledge Jul 27, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

All comes back fine.

#

Is it worth trying a different VPN server?

naive dust Jul 27, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

It's possible that it's not a VPN issue

#

Could be firewall or network related

#

TBH, I've had some trouble sometimes with certain reverse shells on my VM

flint hawk Jul 27, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

You could try a different VPN server or creating a new VPN file

wicked ledge Jul 27, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

Maybe I'll try setting my VM to bridged mode then putting it in the DMZ on my network. I'll try a different VPN first.

#

Thanks all.

torn idol Jul 27, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

@wicked ledge: Setting it up to my kali vm first.. (But not for at least 10 hrs, when i can actually power it down) .. and then I will set up the ovpn connector adnd continue

mighty urchin Jul 27, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

yo guys can someone help me? i'm using kali linux VMware and im trying to connect to a machine in THM but the browser doesnt recognize the IP although i'm connected via openVPN

eager fulcrum Jul 27, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Not every machine runs a webserver, so you can't open the IP in your browser and expect there to be a web-page

mighty urchin Jul 27, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

but i did ran it once

#

something went wrong

#

i dont know what i did

eager fulcrum Jul 27, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

What room?

mighty urchin Jul 27, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

everything

#

but the VPN does show that its working

eager fulcrum Jul 27, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

but the VPN does show that its working
@mighty urchin What do you mean by that?

mighty urchin Jul 27, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

here now it happened again, i managed to join a room and now i cant

eager fulcrum Jul 27, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

Again, what do you mean?

#

Joining a room doesn't relate to the VPN

mighty urchin Jul 27, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

sometimes its working and sometimes doesnt

#

Joining a room doesn't relate to the VPN
@eager fulcrum wdym? without the VPN u wont be able to join any machine

eager fulcrum Jul 27, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

False

#

You can join a room no matter what

#

Rooms are different to VMs

mighty urchin Jul 27, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

i mean deploy a machine

normal carbon Jul 27, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

you can still deploy without the vpn but you cant connect if ur not on the vpn

mighty urchin Jul 27, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

you can still deploy but you cant connect if ur not on the vpn
@normal carbon yeah thats what i mean

#

but sometimes im able to connect and sometimes dont

normal carbon Jul 27, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

how long did you wait before trying to connect after deploying

mighty urchin Jul 27, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

0 seconds

normal carbon Jul 27, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

you need to wait longer

mighty urchin Jul 27, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

like a min?

normal carbon Jul 27, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

like 1-5 minutes

mighty urchin Jul 27, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

ok

#

tnx mate

normal carbon Jul 27, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

no problem

flint hawk Jul 27, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

THMs servers need time to spool up. They can’t become instantly available. They can get close, but not quite. They need to power on and boot up through everything they need to help you.

eager fulcrum Jul 27, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

When you click deploy, it boots a real, full virtual machine dedicated to you

#

Like a full PC

mighty urchin Jul 27, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

oh i though there are servers waiting

#

for a connection

#

now it makes sense

mighty urchin Jul 27, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

sorry to annoy u guys but this only was the first problem (thought the second would solve as well but it didnt 😦 ) anyway the other problem is that after some time i pinged the machine IP and it works although when i try to browse it on the browser it doesnt work

#

😦

Hey guys. What do I need to allow on the firewall to be able to use the in-browser machine?

#

Its a sophos appliance.

#

Connection just times out

zealous yoke Jul 28, 2020, 7:34 AM

#

Ah that would most likely be the problem

#

solutions especially sophos are really iffy about that

#

are you able to perhaps RDP into the machine instead?

balmy bear Jul 28, 2020, 7:55 AM

#

No, RDP on the public ip doesnt work either (I‘m on my work network(I’m sysadmin) so VPN is not an option).

#

Is it enough to just allow the public IP of the machine for rdp on the firewall? But the IP changes regularly, right?

#

Would me much easier if i could just allow connection to the in-browser machine

zealous yoke Jul 28, 2020, 7:58 AM

#

I know your struggles believe me ahaha

#

Allowing 3309 to the public IP of your deployed instance should be sufficient

#

I can't quite remember why specific vendor firewalls get iffy with it over the browser i.e. fortinet and sophos

balmy bear Jul 28, 2020, 8:01 AM

#

So everytime I deploy a new instance, I have to change the firewall rule? haha

zealous yoke Jul 28, 2020, 8:02 AM

#

From my memory atm yes, but @deep trellis may be able to provide details for a more permanent solution

balmy bear Jul 28, 2020, 8:02 AM

#

That would be nice 🙂 Ill use this workaround until then

#

thanks!

zealous yoke Jul 28, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

I've been meaning to document things like that (i.e. what ports and to what domain) you'd have to whitelist but other pressing issues have cropped up (:

#

no worries

#

it's a bit of an inconvenience for now, but it should work. You're a sysadmin, you have to work around inconveniences all the time 😛

balmy bear Jul 28, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

Haha, you can say that again

#

If i wouldn‘t I‘d be out of a job

balmy bear Jul 28, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

@zealous yoke unfortunately doesnt work with Port 3009

#

Got it. I just allowed RDP to the machine

#

If you have any pointers how to get it to work in browser, please tell me 🙂

zealous yoke Jul 28, 2020, 8:55 AM

#

Thanks @balmy bear

#

Quick question for the learn linux room: Task 33 requires you to find the binary shiba4 and create a dir test and a file test1234

#

the dir and file already existed on my deployed machine

#

hows that possible?

#

and the bin is nowhere to be found, tried find / shiba4

#

should i redeploy?

It's a little more involved than openvpn, but automatically puts a service in the background and seems to be faster/reliable

You cant access your own ip from the in-browsers kali web browser because you dont have web server running from that. Try to access a rooms ip

Hey. I've been looing at Blue today and had an issue with the exploit repeatedly failing. I've been searching on the channel and have seen a number of people having the same issue, and being told EternalBlue isn't reliable, to reset the room, rebooting, etc.
However, I fixed this problem (and similar problems in other rooms with Metasploit) by doing: set LHOST tun0
It defaults to the IP address of my Kali VM but that never seems to work unless I explicitly set it to tun0 instead. As soon as I set that, the exploit ran fine.
I hope that helps anyone with the same issue

Morning y'all, is there any that can help with me with some networking stuff? i'm running kali as a vm with hyper-v and had openVPN on the host machine, i thought it was possible to pass the vpn connection through to the machine and have tried doing so with an online guide. but atm its not working and i feel kinda stuck... :x (my second thought was to install openVPN on kali VM, would that be an easy fix?)

eager fulcrum Jul 29, 2020, 6:37 AM

Run the VPN in kali

#

Otherwise you will get problems with metasploit and reverse shells

hazy pebble Jul 29, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

thats exactly where the issue started :p thanks for your quick answer. i will try that then 🙂

#

btw, do i then need to download a new vpn config file from thm or can i use the one i used for the host to connect?

eager fulcrum Jul 29, 2020, 6:39 AM

You can use the same file

You just need to copy it over

is it safe to close the terminal after it says "initialization sequence complete" when starting openVPN? it doesnt seem to do much more and the tunnel is active / metasploits reverse tcp is now working 😄

naive dust Jul 29, 2020, 8:04 AM

I think the terminal still controls your connection. Put a & after the command to run the VPN in the background, or try using openvpn3

barren birch Jul 29, 2020, 10:26 AM

Eh, don't put a & after it please

Try reselecting a server in the dropdown menu for which server you're downloading from

#

👍

#

I've searched online for a while. should have asked straight away to save some time.

#

Haha, it's such a simple error too, but no way to really "google" it

It's because the website doesn't actually have a default config file for you to download, but it doesn't stop you from just pressing the download button.

how do I know when a machine I submit after setting it all up when it will become available to everyone?

bronze vale Jul 29, 2020, 2:57 PM

Okay so

#

You set it to public and it will tell you its being evaluated

Someone will contact you and then it will either be accepted or rejected.

#

Then once it is accepted you will be told around when it will be released but there's currently a backup due to lots of rooms being submitted so the admins are working on releasing more rooms.

The room is Network Services, I have tried restarting the machine, restarting my openvpn connection, regenerating my config, tried running nmap on a non-tryhackme machine (it works) and I'm at a bit of a loss. It was working for scan on the SMB machine in that room, just not the telnet one.

#

Anyone got any ideas to help me out?

#

Oh and I am able to ping it

#

nvm, its working now, no idea what went wrong

Follow that

obtuse isle Jul 29, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

i followed that but it doesn't walk

#

first of all i don't have the real public Ip adress

#

I just have the internet virtual ip adress

toxic python Jul 29, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

Are you using a VM

obtuse isle Jul 29, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

yes

toxic python Jul 29, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

Kali?

obtuse isle Jul 29, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

yes

toxic python Jul 29, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

And you downloaded the config file?

obtuse isle Jul 29, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

yes and it dowload well

#

is it normal to don't have the real public ip adress ?

toxic python Jul 29, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

I don’t know what you mean by that. Did you run the config file?

obtuse isle Jul 29, 2020, 7:16 PM

toxic python Jul 29, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

That screen is unreliable

#

Did you run the config file

obtuse isle Jul 29, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

yes

toxic python Jul 29, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

Can you show the output

obtuse isle Jul 29, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

of the config file ?

toxic python Jul 29, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

Of the ovpn file when you run it

#

You fix by asking a mod who’s currently online like @barren birch

Give it a chance to load

It's a new feature

obtuse isle Jul 29, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

I'm logged in but as soon as I go to another tab and come back to the access tab I am logged out @toxic python

pulsar bluff Jul 29, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

I just got the same problem. Under IP address I got 'null' after that went to access and got new configuration file and now when I deploy it shows '-'. What should I do?

#

I have been waiting for around 10m now

bronze vale Jul 29, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

Refresh your page

#

New feature

pulsar bluff Jul 29, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

Got it thanks ❤️

toxic python Jul 29, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

@obtuse isle what do you mean

minor kite Jul 29, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

That refresh is a nice feature; next time can we make a sacrifice to Cthulu too?

eager fulcrum Jul 29, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

first of all i don't have the real public Ip adress
@obtuse isle It no longer shows that, it was a privacy issue

void skiff Jul 29, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

Perhaps telling the user that the machine is booting would prevent this?

bronze vale Jul 29, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

It has been sorted

#

Also, it did.

#

@severe mesa What do you mean by you are unable to "connect" to it?

severe mesa Jul 30, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

I can't ping or scan it.

barren birch Jul 30, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

Are you sure it responds to pings?

feral dock Jul 30, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

Have you read the tasks? And try using -Pn

severe mesa Jul 30, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

Already done that
