[agile steeple]

Just left the room.

[spring compass]

[vapid dawn]

ah perfect - let me try something

please don't join the room again 🙂

[coarse cobalt]

ok my people are out

[vapid dawn]

can you double check @spring compass ?

you should have been added to your rooms?

[spring compass]

yes

nop

still nothing

[deep trellis]

you should have been added to your rooms?
@vapid dawn it's the inserting of the questions

[spring compass]

tell me if you want that i leave the room again

[deep trellis]

No, I think I know the issue, but I'm not home atm.

[agile steeple]

It looks like Ashu joined me back into the room, but the problem still exists for me.

[spring compass]

No worries if you know what the problem is. Nothing urgent

[vapid dawn]

can you check again @agile steeple ?

[coarse cobalt]

we are checking

[vapid dawn]

yeah this is just specific for @spring compass and @agile steeple

let me know if the questions have appeared

[coarse cobalt]

oh ok

[agile steeple]

Still an issue after a refresh. I have left the room and trying to rejoin. It's taking awhile.

Got an Error 504

[vapid dawn]

when trying to enter the room?

just go to the room directly?
tryhackme.com/room/zthlinux

[agile steeple]

yes

It looks like I'm joined though and the issue is still there.

[vapid dawn]

ah ok

would you both mind leaving one more time please?

[agile steeple]

Okay

[vapid dawn]

let me know when you've left the room

[agile steeple]

I've left the room.

[spring compass]

not working for me

I've left the room too

[vapid dawn]

think this may have worked for you @agile steeple

would you mind checking?

[agile steeple]

Checking...

Looks like it's resolved. Should I try to refresh or leave the room to double check?

[vapid dawn]

just refresh - don't leave the room

@spring compass can you join the room

and let me know when you have and i'll fix it

[coarse cobalt]

Thanks @vapid dawn for helping us with this!

[vapid dawn]

no worries at all - are you having issues as well @coarse cobalt ?

[coarse cobalt]

No, I'm good

[spring compass]

i'm in the room @vapid dawn

[hazy compass]

is it normal that CTF100 takes so long to start?

it has been 16 mins now and it's not pinging yet

[tribal quarry]

Are you connected with openvpn?

[hazy compass]

yep

koth working fine

[celest sapphire]

not all boxes respond to pings

scan it with ping scan disabled

[tribal quarry]

. im not even able to access the site xdd

[celest sapphire]

-Pn

@tribal quarry that's weeeird

[hazy compass]

@celest sapphire trying to

thanks

[tribal quarry]

@celest sapphire And So fkin annoying

Idk i was playing around with tor and this happened.... under that time when my tor was turned on i also visitted whatismyip.org and now i also cant visit it ;C

[celest sapphire]

you messed up your internet then i guess

[tribal quarry]

Any tips where?

THM is working on my mobile

Oh vpns are also not working ;)

[eager fulcrum]

Please don't joke about that here.

[grave leaf]

thank you

Do you have an IP address on your machine at all Nindzsa?

[tribal quarry]

Yea everything is working fine, except vpns, THM, and whatismyip.org

[grave leaf]

Have you restarted your machine?

[tribal quarry]

Yeah 2 times

[grave leaf]

Have you tried regenerating your ovpn file?

[tribal quarry]

regenerating??

[grave leaf]

Through the website.

[tribal quarry]

I cant ACCESS the website

[grave leaf]

Have you tried clearing your browser cache?

History, etc.

[tribal quarry]

I will try rn

[eager fulcrum]

Honestly sounds like you broke your networking config. Not a THM specific issue IMO.

[tribal quarry]

Yea, but i thought its clear that i broke something with my networking, and not with firefox

But idk why, but i think the problem is somewhere with ip tables ;C

[eager fulcrum]

I'd like to remind you that this channel is for THM specific tech support

Don't use that word here

[tribal quarry]

My bad sry

@eager fulcrum and in which room could i get help with this ?

[weary panther]

Getting an error Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed with the thm vpn. This started happening mid way through a box 😦

Anyone had this issue before?

[eager fulcrum]

That's not an error

It's a warning

[bronze vale]

It's just a warning*, if it is disconnecting your connection, switch servers.

[eager fulcrum]

And it doesn't actually affect anything

[weary panther]

Sure, but I lost connection to my box

[weary panther]

Wasn't expecting it to fix

but fair enough

[eager fulcrum]

It does attempt some automatic fixes

[weary panther]

Ah okay cool

this is odd, I'm def connected on the network but can't communicate with the box itself

Changed servers, still nothing

[eager fulcrum]

this is odd, I'm def connected on the network but can't communicate with the box itself
@weary panther What are you trying to do with the box? What box?

[weary panther]

ah lol icmp seems to be turned off lmao

weird because I pinged it earlier

oh well, stupid me

[eager fulcrum]

Windows machines don't tend to respond to pings

[weary panther]

it did earlier 😕

nevermind anyway

thanks for the help 🙂

Try a reboot?

[timid tiger]

having a bit of trouble with Juice Shop, Burp proxy is breaking site. Intercept is on and I'm hitting forward but seems to be erratic on whether or not it does anything. Should intercept be off for this one (or better question, do you only turn intercept on in certain instances)? If I'm understanding right, the proxy feeds to Burp (when intercept is on), which then should forward back to the site?

Or am I misunderstanding how Burp functions?

[rare knoll]

James are you talking to me or fedai

[eager fulcrum]

James are you talking to me or fedai
@rare knoll You.

[rare knoll]

So restart the VM fresh?

@timid tiger Requests will always go to the history if you have the proxy on. Intercept is only really needed if you want to change the data before it reaches client or server

So restart the VM fresh?
@rare knoll reboot.

[timid tiger]

@eager fulcrum thanks, that helps!

[rare knoll]

Is still don't know if you mean shut it off and turn it on or start a fresh vm

I assume the first

[eager fulcrum]

Reboot means turn it off and back on

[rare knoll]

I have, I'm logging back in at the moment

It's working now

I should've tried a reboot earlier

Hey tech support, when uploading files do you need to wait for the file to be converted before uploading another?

[odd sequoia]

Hey there, sorry to bother but is there any problem with tryhackme openvpn right now ? I got a "TLS Key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds" error when trying to connect

[sinful narwhal]

same problem!

[plain loom]

I'm getting the same problem here

[eager fulcrum]

Are you in Egypt?

[plain loom]

US here

[odd sequoia]

seems changing region solved for me (europe regular 2 not working, europe regular 1 works fine)

[eager fulcrum]

What VPN server?

[plain loom]

oh mine was also EU regular 2

[sinful narwhal]

me too!

[plain loom]

swapping to US west regular 1 worked for me

[sinful narwhal]

oh, yes, it works

thx

[eager fulcrum]

@vapid dawn if you're around can you check on EU Regular 2?

[rain star]

i try reconect to openvpn (sudo killall openvpn) and try to connect back but it's tanking so long idk why

[nimble comet]

Having issues with openvpn too 🙂

[rain star]

ugh

what did u do

[nimble comet]

same log problems as in @rain star 's screenshot

[plain loom]

Check which VPN server your config file is set to on the Access page

a few of us had issues on EU-Regular-2

[nimble comet]

checking

yeah.. EU-Regular-2 indeed

[plain loom]

I changed mine to US-West-Regular-1, downloaded a new config file and it worked

[nimble comet]

I'll try a different config then

EU-Regular-1 works

thx for that Ditty

[wind wedge]

EU 2 seems to be down as I had to change my server earlier

[rain star]

i change it 2 but still nope

[sharp bear]

https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting

Can we give that a pin in here

[flat blade]

need help with my vpn pls :

[wind wedge]

what server are you using?

[flat blade]

EU-VIP 1

[wind wedge]

oh ok just making sure as EU2 seems to be down, make sure you're not running multiple vpns

[flat blade]

i'm not

but same error without vpn

[wind wedge]

check your proxy settings

[flat blade]

in my browser ?

[wind wedge]

yes

you might have configured it for a room

[flat blade]

ok ok

for burpsuite

[wind wedge]

yea that's why

you should use foxyproxy for burp

turn that proxy off and I recommened getting the firefox extension foxyproxy

that way you don't have to keep switching to settings

[flat blade]

i have the extension

[wind wedge]

change the firefox settings proxy to auto

Hey guys... How can I share a file from my box to victims box?

trying to do some priv esc on a box...but cant share linpeas from my kali box to victim box.. it always hangs at 25% download..

[eager fulcrum]

Scp, http, ftp. There's a billion different ways

[primal tangle]

im doing python -m http.server 8000 on my box.. then hitting my ip from victim's box

but i cant get it to download anything

[shrewd ferry]

Is anybody else having issues running nmap scans in the Telnet enumeration section of network services room? I have to scan with -Pn because the IP saids it's down, and even when I do I don't get any ports back

Sounds like you need to fix your VPN.

ehh good point. Let me try that

Hello everyone! Quick question - I was having trouble working the OpenVPN while on the Kali Linux VM, but it seemed to work fine when using my local windows OS. Any ideas?

[golden crag]

what problem do you have exactly

also make sure you dont run them both at the same time. only have the openvpn running onm your vm

[trail flicker]

I attempt to connect to the URL (IP Address) but the page never loads. (whilst on the Kali vm)

[golden crag]

and you have the openvpn running on your vm?

[eager fulcrum]

I attempt to connect to the URL (IP Address) but the page never loads. (whilst on the Kali vm)
@trail flicker Not all machines run a web server. You also cannot connect from multiple devices at once

[trail flicker]

Sorry, I am now to this 🙂 ill explain my issue a bit better...

I has installed my own version on Kali Linux several months back and been working on it since. When following the guide to connect to OpenVPN, I was able to apt install the software fine. However, when attempting to run the software i was getting a error message relating to (--dev) and that i need to select a configuration option of some sort?

The actual server that I am connecting to - is this a Kali linux OS ill be using, and therefore that why I cant connect - 2 version of Kali running (my own, and then the servers version)?

Sorry in advance if this isnt clear 🙂

Ive read though the doc on OpenVPN and cant see this error message anywhere

Hello Ninja, back again.

So, i have the in browser kali machine running.

When trying to do a CTF run though - we are provided a URL e.g. https://darkstar7471.com/resources.html

How do I actually access this?

[eager fulcrum]

www.darkstar7471.com

Dark broke his DNS

But you don't have to download the VMs

The whole point is you can deploy them on THM

[trail flicker]

THM>

?

[eager fulcrum]

TryHackMe

[trail flicker]

As in, whilst on im my built in kali machine - type in the URL (into firefox in that window)?

[eager fulcrum]

No

Go to the room on tryhackme

Click "Deploy"

Now you have an instance of that VM to attack

[trail flicker]

Ahhhh!

thank you!

[eager fulcrum]

VMs are attached to tasks but typically it's one VM for a whole room

You can also have downloadable material attached to a task

But you can only have 1 item attached to a task at most

[serene epoch]

So is the linux room a per-individual issue or is it someting that's getting fixed and i can go back to later

[bronze vale]

I’m not sure, if mass people are affected I think Skidy/Ashu would look to fixing it on their end. I believe Skidy knows how to fix it but I’m not sure if that’s client or server side. But then again I’m only a mentor I don’t really know anything :)

On the My Rooms page all the joined and uncompleted rooms have their progress bars set to 20% instead of the actual value 🤔

so you don't keep the difficulty displayed after it was done? 🤔

[stone roost]

@naive dust when you try sudo openvpn config.ovpn

so you don't keep the difficulty displayed after it was done? 🤔
@lofty shuttle it just marks the room as completed with a tick box

@lofty shuttle after it's done, you get a ✅

Switch VPN Server

[naive dust]

okay

[bronze vale]

If you switch server and continue to get the issues, we can rule out THM as the issue.

[serene epoch]

I actually get that a lot but usually after a connections was established:

[bronze vale]

Mhm it’s just a warning. It shouldn’t be affecting your connection.

yea but does it not mean that frog already has a connection?

I dont think it pings lol

no im running kubuntu

That should be fine it you're not running as root, one should be the grep line and the other two vpn sessions

[bronze vale]

Malware do you want to take over I think I’m in over my head

[naive dust]

lmao

[bronze vale]

Yeah that’s normal

[feral dock]

That looks fine

Let me deploy a machine and I'll give you the ip, try browsing to that ip using your web browser

[vernal ruin]

This one is always up

http://10.10.75.202/

[feral dock]

I'm sure James got that 10.10.10.10 IP, we were talking about that earlier

@naive dust But here try browsing to: 10.10.14.131

Yep, you're vpn is working

Now delete that please

What box are you trying to do by the way?

[bronze vale]

Blue

[naive dust]

Blue

[feral dock]

It's a windows box

[bronze vale]

He gets the session not created error

Well since it's not a vpn error, let's head over to #room-help

morning. question on meterpreter.. when i try to background the session it always seems to kick me out of meterpreter. I get the question "background session?" then i hit Y and it says "y command not found" and drops me back to the linux shell

[bronze vale]

You're probably backgrounding metasploit rather than the session. Have you tried just typing "background" with the session open

[normal eagle]

have not let me try that

that worked. thx! any idea why the cntrl-z would not work?

[bronze vale]

It's probably the window interpreting it as backgrounding the current process rather than a metasploit keybind idk

[normal eagle]

makes sense. thx! i am using putty into the machine

[ionic turtle]

hi, i'm not sure if this is the right channel for this but does anyone know why openvpn access page might be saying i'm not connected even though i obviously am since i am scanning the machine and getting what i'm supposed to get?

[bronze vale]

Access page lies

[ionic turtle]

yeah, but i kinda need to know what ip i have 😫

[bronze vale]

ifconfig tun0

or

ip a s tun0

@vapid dawn Hi my tryhackme name is: PrathmeshRewale and I'm having the task bug on the learn linux room.

[vapid dawn]

@dim pumice DM me your tryhackme username and I'll take a look when I get back home!

[digital elm]

hello, i am constantly running into issues with the Blue box, specifically the metasploit part

they are probably caused by me just messing around with the settings

but this is the output i get when i run exploit

i've been googling and trying to fix it but no luck so far

also reseting box, uninstalling/reinstalling metasploit

[grave leaf]

This isn't an issue with the room. This is an issue with your settings.

[digital elm]

i figured that yep

[grave leaf]

Can you take a screenshot of your settings please? Exploit and payload settings. Thanks.

[digital elm]

sure

coming right up

[grave leaf]

So your LHOST needs to be set to your tun0 address, which is your TryHackMe IP.

Also, you had an error that said "Set ForceExploit to override." You need to set ForceExploit to true.

[digital elm]

i am not sure if i got the right run0 address

error changed though 😄

[grave leaf]

If the connection is timing out you may need to reset the machine.

[naive dust]

I have the same issue as @digital elm

given up on reseting the machine

[trail flicker]

Do anyone know how to copy and paste from the kali in-broswer vm outside (e.g., to copy and paste a flag into the answer box in a room)?

[grave leaf]

Are you using the new THM attack machine?

[digital elm]

bruh yes!

i think i got it to work

[trail flicker]

No, should I be? 🙂

[grave leaf]

Which room are you on Ells?

[digital elm]

my lhost was wrong

[grave leaf]

That'll do it.

[digital elm]

also restarted the machine

[trail flicker]

''Linux challanges'

[digital elm]

i am not in the shell yet, but no errors so far

[grave leaf]

Best bet is to SSH into that room as the instructions say you can do. Otherwise you'll have to type everything in.

That's for Ells^

Once you're SSH'd, you can use your native copy/paste functionality.

[trail flicker]

Yeah, I have SSH'd into the machine - though when ctrl-c it doesnt save it on the clipboard outside the vm

[still cedar]

Hi guys I have a problem with kali-tryhackme, I connected OpenVPN it shows I'm connected and I connected to a room but I can`t browse the ip, can't nmap the ip. Do you have any idea why this is happening? (Room: Lian_Yu)

[bronze vale]

Access page lies

What is the IP @still cedar

[trail flicker]

Ive seen somwhere (cant remember where i saw it), it is different - use 3 keys instead of the standard ctrl-c

[still cedar]

Room ip 10.10.157.173

[digital elm]

connection reset by peer 🤔

[bronze vale]

That is not your tun0?

As well as that I'm not sure what you're trying to do. A session will not be created as you're using a scanner not an exploit.

Unless I'm wrong.

[digital elm]

this should be exploit

[still cedar]

Problem solved for me, thanks for help!

[bronze vale]

Your tun0 is wrong, Homur.

hi i have recently installed wsl2 am new to how it works and cant seem to access the browser challenges from my host machine browser.i have tried researching solutions to the problem but i can seem to get a solution if anyone can help i would highly appreciate it THANK YOU

[fathom schooner]

@sharp bear did you connect to the vpn in your wsl2 environment or in your Windows environment?

[sharp bear]

@fathom schooner yes i did and it works fine the only problem i seem to have is when i try to access the machine through my host browser

[fathom schooner]

Which one tho?

Where is your openvpn? In wsl2?

[sharp bear]

yes in wsl2

[fathom schooner]

Then your Windows machine has no concept of that interface/network...

[eager fulcrum]

WSL2 is a VM

[sharp bear]

@eager fulcrum i understand that
but is there a way i can be able to access the tryhackme machine from my host machine?

[eager fulcrum]

No, not easily

Install a GUI on the WSL2 VM

Or use a real hypervisor

Hi, beginner here.
I just finished the "Learn Linux" room. Now I want to try the "Nmap" room. When I deploy the machine and start OpenVPN, I learned that I can connect via Putty but what username and password do I use?

[bronze vale]

It says in the room

[pseudo sierra]

But where

[bronze vale]

shiba1 for both username and password

In the ssh/putty section

[pseudo sierra]

I already finished the Learn Linux Room.. I mean the Nmap room. I cant find it there

[bronze vale]

Oh there are no credentials

[eager fulcrum]

You're not meant to log in

[pseudo sierra]

But how should I answer the questions without a linux system? D:

[bronze vale]

Sorry I was confused with the cross reference of rooms

[eager fulcrum]

Get a Linux system or install nmap for windows. I recommend the first one.

[pseudo sierra]

Does this work with a virtual machine too or would a dual-boot system be the better option?

[eager fulcrum]

Yes it works with a VM. Run the VPN directly in the VM and not on the host OS.

[pseudo sierra]

Ok thx 😄

Any recommendations for the virtual machine?

Redownload your VPN file

and regenerate (if it continues)

Kali Linux 2020.3 allows to replace Bash with ZSH, but commands like "service tor status" don't work since "service" command is not found.

[fleet sluice]

I'm stuck at linux task 21 , can someone help. I'm not able to find shiba3 pass.
@wild hearth You need to export the variable to user environment variable

[wild hearth]

export test1234=$USER
./shiba2

This one gave me error after ./shiba2

I'm new to linux :(

[fleet sluice]

can you "cat" shiba2?

[wild hearth]

Yea says hi

[fleet sluice]

can you send Screenshot of "nano shiba2"?

[bronze vale]

If it's a binary

they can't

do any of that

You shouldn't be creating the binaries they should already be there btw

If they haven't loaded correctly loaded restart the box

[wild hearth]

how to restart ?

in nano it shows "hi"

btw^

[bronze vale]

Terminate and redeploy

[wild hearth]

[rough cradle]

hi I need help, I'm doing the nmap machine (https://tryhackme.com/room/rpnmap) but at task 3 question4, they ask for the service version detection scan in port 22 so i use " nmap -p22 -sV ip" but it doen't give me the service version, i found a video of a man doing this same room but when he use this same command with this flags he can see the version, do you know why it doesn't work?

[sly yoke]

@rough cradle What do you have when you do the command ?

[fleet sluice]

is it stuck on "Your box is initalizing"? A screenshot would be useful if you wouldn't mind! @fleet sluice
@zealous yoke

[zealous yoke]

That looks good to me!

You're RDP'd into your instance

[rough cradle]

@sly yoke

in version i should have

[zealous yoke]

It will disconnect / fail to load if you try to view it into another browser at the same time

[fleet sluice]

its working in microsoft rdp client but not in browser

You're RDP'd into your instance
@zealous yoke

[bronze vale]

@rough cradle Machine IP?

[rough cradle]

10.10.191.8

[fleet sluice]

It will disconnect / fail to load if you try to view it into another browser at the same time
@zealous yoke i just tried now whether it is working with microsoft remote desktop client

[zealous yoke]

If you close the RDP client and then try to access your machine in the browser it should be okay

[fleet sluice]

If you close the RDP client and then try to access your machine in the browser it should be okay
@zealous yoke not working

[bronze vale]

@rough cradle

[zealous yoke]

You can only have one connection at a time

I mean you can only have one RDP/VNC (browser) session but you can have any amount of ssh sessions alongside that

Could you show me please? @fleet sluice

[rough cradle]

@bronze vale i rly don't uderstend i tryied it with kali vm and then with parrot to try diferent machines and twice bad

[bronze vale]

Can you show me the whole screenshot, including command and output

[bronze vale]

It says state filtered which it shouldn't

Uhh at an educated standpoint I'd say it's something wrong with your connection

[rough cradle]

oh true, you have open

[sly yoke]

Latency seems really short, no ?

[fleet sluice]

Could you show me please? @fleet sluice
@zealous yoke

[bronze vale]

@rough cradle Can you type ps aux | grep openvpn and screenshot the output please

[rough cradle]

@bronze vale

[bronze vale]

@zealous yoke
@fleet sluice now there is not any other vnc sessions ongoing

[rough cradle]

@bronze vale oh i have to be allways conected to a vpn?

[zealous yoke]

Ah yeah that is interesting

[bronze vale]

Yes

The VPN connects you to the network

So you can communicate with the machines

[zealous yoke]

Can you look at your developer tools / console in your browser? Let's see if any extensions are being blocked or nothing isn't loading correct @fleet sluice

[rough cradle]

@bronze vale okay, rly ty will try it

[bronze vale]

Yw

[zealous yoke]

For example, this is what my devtools/console on chrome looks like for "https://tryhackme.com/my-machine" and it displays okay

@zealous yoke worked in other browsers

issue with my chrome

[toxic python]

No bro

thanks 🙂

[zealous yoke]

Mhm yea that doesn't look funky. Especially the vnc.tryhackme.tech error

[sly yoke]

About VPN, I can connect to it it says Initialized but when I try to connect to the machine I can't (often timeout)
if I try to ping it, it loses all the packets, and sometimes during like 10 seconds every 5minutes the connection works
Do you know if Eu servers / VPN are okay ?

[zealous yoke]

Give pressing "Full Screen" a go, if that doesn't work, I'd recommend using a different browser and/or disabling extensions at the very least

@zealous yoke full screen didn't work...but in other browsers its working

thanks for help

☺️

[zealous yoke]

Okies no worries!

You seem to have a lot of extensions as well which could be interefing, so a try with incognito might be fruitful

glad you got a workaround however 👍

[vernal ruin]

CMN is just the coolest person on this server

[sly yoke]

Thanks for your tips Quantum, it seems I had multiple openvpn opened ^^ I'll try later if it was really that :D

[vernal ruin]

No Worries 🙂

Haha bless you @vernal ruin

https://medium.com/@ali.bawazeeer/hashcat-in-virtualization-environment-a17ba187ff58

Has somebody tried running hashcat in their VirtualBox Kali Linux with this setup?

[bronze vale]

@naive dust hashcat won’t work in vm

[naive dust]

@bronze vale rip me

[bronze vale]

You can get it to work but it is considerably slow so there’s no point

There’s windows versions of hashcat

[naive dust]

okay ill give it a try, thanks for fast answer Jabba

[bronze vale]

:)

[sly yoke]

@vernal ruin I've tried, seems to work :D Thanks a lot ! :D

[vernal ruin]

Awesome

[wild hearth]

linux task 33, to find pass for shiba4 , can someone help me proceed?

[bronze vale]

What are you stuck on

[bronze vale]

What are you stuck on
@bronze vale

[wild hearth]

idk how to proceed what command to give , ik to create a dir and create a file. But idk what exactly im supposed to do in this?

[bronze vale]

Have you created the directory called test

[wild hearth]

they're asking to check if there is a dir called test and file called test1234

yea

[bronze vale]

okay

[wild hearth]

Have you created the directory called test
@bronze vale yep

[bronze vale]

Now have you run the binary

[wild hearth]

touch test
./shiba3

?

[bronze vale]

Have you tried that

[wild hearth]

yes

[bronze vale]

and what happens

[wild hearth]

says no such file or dir shiba3

[bronze vale]

You're in the wrong directory then

It's like in the windows file system

You can run the file

If you're unable to see it

If you type ls there should be no file named "shiba3"

So try looking for it :D

[wild hearth]

okayy 🙂

[desert bear]

Does anyone have an idea why my terminal keeps freezing ? I have two terminals open with tmux, one is whatever i'm doing and the other is openvpn. I thought it was a memory issue but I checked and I have enough on my machine. Anybody have any ideas what it could be ? I noticed it just froze after the openvpn terminal was doing some stuff.

kali linux btw

[bronze vale]

Are you running a VM

[desert bear]

yes

I am trying to do a tryhackme room but it keeps freezing my terminal. The openvpn terminal still seems to be working though.

[bronze vale]

Technically this isn't related to the tech support channel but if it's Virtual Box you're not the first one to experience it.

[desert bear]

ah ok, sorry I thought this was the right channel.

[hoary pier]

Hey, I am doing the "Learn Linux" room should I be able to submit some tasks there or is there just nothing to submit there?

[bronze vale]

What is your THM username?

[hoary pier]

Same as here Kibov

[bronze vale]

Okay someone will sort it soon

[hoary pier]

Thank you!

Hello, I have a problem on this box :
https://tryhackme.com/room/windows10privesc

I can find the password with : reg query "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\winlogon"

[dire cloud]

Hi, im quite new to linux. When i try to connect to openvpn at first it says Initialization Sequence Complete but then it says uthenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed. what am i doing wrong?

[naive dust]

Are you still able to connect to a machine on TryHackMe?

[dire cloud]

It says im not connected

[eager fulcrum]

It says im not connected
@dire cloud Please don't trust the /access page on tryhackme, it's not accurate a lot of the time

the Authenticate/Decrypt is just a warning and doesn't affect your connectivity

[dire cloud]

oh ok thank you

[rapid rover]

Hi there 🙂

[gloomy lichen]

@rapid rover try 'sudo openvpn {your vpn file name}

[rapid rover]

that's what I started

[gloomy lichen]

make sure you are in the same directory as the file

meaning on the terminal you are on desktop

file has to be on desktop too

[rapid rover]

Mon Aug 24 21:18:40 2020 TLS Error: TLS handshake failed
Mon Aug 24 21:18:40 2020 SIGUSR1[soft,tls-error] received, process restarting
Mon Aug 24 21:18:40 2020 Restart pause, 5 second(s)

[gloomy lichen]

and try again

and if you tried all that i mentioned, download a new file from a different server

but thats the last option tbh

[rapid rover]

Okay thanks 🙂 Will give it a shot

[eager fulcrum]

okay, then try 'sudo service openvpn restart'
@gloomy lichen You should not be using the OpenVPN service

@rapid rover Please don't use the OpenVPN service

are you connecting from Egypt by any chance?

[rapid rover]

Trying to THM setting up access page

I am not no

[eager fulcrum]

Trying to THM setting up access page
@rapid rover Here, I mean the systemd service that Japfu suggested you restart

Have you tried a different VPN server?

[gloomy lichen]

why not use openvpn? thm suggested it?

[rapid rover]

no I haven't pretty new to kali myself

[eager fulcrum]

why not use openvpn? thm suggested it?
@gloomy lichen You use OpenVPN. You do not use the SystemD service for it.

[gloomy lichen]

oh

[rapid rover]

It works on windows but on kali it's a problem rn

[eager fulcrum]

no I haven't pretty new to kali myself
@rapid rover Try switching to a different VPN server on TryHackMe and downloading your config again

It works on windows but on kali it's a problem rn
You can't connect from both at the same time btw

[rapid rover]

No no issue

soley trying from kali this time

[gloomy lichen]

||sudo apt install openvpn|| ??

[eager fulcrum]

Try a different server then, that's my recommendation

||sudo apt install openvpn|| ??
@gloomy lichen It's installed by default in Kali.

[gloomy lichen]

idk im just looking at the access page to help out

ah oka

[rapid rover]

I do have openvpn

[gloomy lichen]

*okay

is it running as root? do you have 1 or more connections? (if so, 'ps aux | grep openvpn' <-- from thm page),

[rapid rover]

not running as root

[gloomy lichen]

kali stopped making its users a sudoer

[rapid rover]

should probably escalate

[gloomy lichen]

so put sudo in front of it

like

sudo openvpn

{file}

[rapid rover]

I am using sudo 😛
