you tried the last command i sent?
and if that doesnt work, i can only give this to help
Using the THM troubleshooting Script:
sudo openvpn filename.ovpn
My room machine says it's active but I can't connect
Updating openvpn
My room machine says it's active but I can't connect
@rapid rover What machine? How are you trying to connect?
Trying to deploy a machine from a hacktivities room
The VPN doesn't connect you to that machine, it connects you to the TryHackMe network which contains your machine.
Hacktivities is a collection of all public rooms
Which room?
kali stopped making its users a sudoer
@gloomy lichen No, it stopped using root as default
Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed
That's a warning rather than an error
If you're seeing that, you're probably connected to the VPN
To check, you can try opening http://10.10.10.10/ in your browser
It's aannoying for it not to work on Kali
I am using my virtual box and so It's not a wifi connection
It's aannoying for it not to work on Kali
@rapid rover again, if you're seeing that warning then you are connected
Unfortunately the access page says otherwise
Please ignore the access page
To check, you can try opening http://10.10.10.10/ in your browser
This is a more reliable method of checking
FYI I'm getting 'expired machine' in the learn linux room despite there being an hour left on the timer (after extending it). I saw earlier this was affecting the windows rooms
But I'm still connected to the machine
Already known just refresh your page and your actual time will appear :)
Ahh perfect, thanks!
Hello there,
I can't log into my machines either through SSH or OpenVPn.
For OpenVpn, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, redownloaded my config file and even changed server. I can connect to the network and access the machine but I can not submit my solution to the exercises unless I disconnect myself from the VPN, submit the response, turn the VPN back on and continue.
For Browser, started my machine and clicked on extend as I did yesterday and it still not working.
This is not really ideal
Please advise.
Thank you
Which room is this?
Also @eager fulcrum help would be appreciated. This all sounds bizarre to me
Common Linux Privesc
Are you connecting from Kali?
When I tried using Kali, it say authentication failure
With OpenVPN, I can access the internal network but can't connect to the internet
With OpenVPN, I can access the internal network but can't connect to the internet
@naive dust How did you connect? Using the command line program or Kali's VPN manager?
Does the authentication failure look similar to “HMAC Packet authentication failure”
Authentication failure
Oh
I used the username and password assigned to my machine when I started it
Sorry my bad I thought you were talking about OpenVPN
What’s exactly the issue with OpenVPN?
@bronze vale . With Open VPN, I have access to THM network but can access anything else
That is strange it shouldn’t be affecting your connection at all.
When I click on connect, I can access the machine I launched. But if I can't submit the answer until I disconnect
It was working jsut fine yesterday
I connect to the network, solve the exercise, disconnect from the network, submit the answer, wait for it to be graded, reconnect and continue
And this is on the In-Browser machine, correct?
Have you logged out or in since the last time you used the machine?
Okay I’m going to ping one of the admins as this is way out of my area. @vapid dawn
This user is having some issues with submission of tasks and using the THM In-Browser Machine.
On top of that OpenVPN seems to be suffering some issues. I’m unable to provide any further help. Would you be able to take over?
would you know what OpenVPN server is down?
and what exactly the issues are r.e. tasks & browser machine?

I changed server too
I’m not sure if the OpenVPN issue is server side but I very much doubt it.
the servers look ok on my end
Using the THM troubleshooting Script:
use our documentation to troubleshoot your issue
Thanks Ashu
Can anyone confirm if we should get points for the 'Introductory Networking' room? I've completed the room but dont think I've gotten any ponts (to overall score) is that correct?
Walkthrough rooms give 8 points per question with an answer.
All questions without answers don’t give points
that what I thought... I completed the room, but no points?
@heavy nymph The creator may have set it to not give points
For large rooms, that's an option. I think muir set that room not to give points
Night Jabba
Ok cool.. still new.. so just curious.. thx for prompt answer! loving site btw.
Hey why am i not able to load the website of the MrRobot room it take forever to reload but no response
I can't cat the root.txt file in Peak Hill lab??
i tried cat * but didn't work
That's a part of the challenge
Or #subs-room-help if you’re feeling special
ok
This is a part of the challenge of the room
Just joined tryhackme... any newbie challenge suggestions that i should do first ??
That's probably a question for #general but after you've worked through the welcome room then there are suggestions on your dashboard, work top to bottom. @trim timber
ok thx
Hey, is it possible to get the student discount without having a student email address? I am accepted at university and will start in a month but over that time i already want to use TryHackMe.
Email support@tryhackme.com and if you can prove you are a student, you can get the discount @undone berry
Thanks 🙂
I started Learn Linux, But when i completed the tasks, it's showing 0% completed and In the tasks, some flags are incompletely explained
Leave and rejoin the room. There was a bit a of a bug with it yesterday shall we say (:
Thank you, It worked 🙂
Hi everyone, my streak doesn't match the yearly activity on my profile page. Was hoping somebody could sort it out?
Hey guys
I’m going to be switching my discord account soon cause I’ve had this one for years
Problem is that this one is verified with Tryhackme
And the other is not
Is there some way I can revoke my discord token on this account and use it on my other?
@barren birch 🙂
!tokenremove @fading eagle
Done, no more entry with UID "709843357517742221".

Hello everyone, I don't know if it's a right place to ask this question but I got a new LAPTOP and I try to instal Kali on it , the problem is my ethernet card is not recognized 😦 Maybe someone can help me 🙂
ok thx
Hello I've an issue on Kali attacking machine, when I launch hashcat, I've this error: clGetPlatformIDs(): CL_PLATFORM_NOT_FOUND_KHR
ATTENTION! No OpenCL-compatible or CUDA-compatible platform found.
you are in a VM ?
Yes, with the provided VM on site
Hashcat can’t run in a VM
I’m presuming that applies to the machines provided by the site
Ok
I’m presuming that applies to the machines provided by the site
Yup those machines and the attackbox/kali doesn't have an allocated gpu
you can use --force
hi everyone,
about wordpress wpscan and plugins.
I was scanning a box for plugins and with aggressive mode - which found the required info to move forward, but took 3 and a half hours.
Now running the same test with mixed mode and it's estimated almost 2 hours (still 15%) but i am not sure if the vulnerable plugin will be found.
Passive mode did not pick it up at all (even though it was pretty fast).
I also noticed the box was extremely slow when doing linPeas.
my network is ok and I never experienced such long scan times.
is this because the target VM is not strong enough? or am I doing something wrong?
What machine are you using
Jack
No, what you using to use the tools
Kali
Your own Kali VM?
I mean there’s a chance it could be your own VM, your connection or something else. Do write ups take just as long?
what do you mean write up?
i noticed the stdout output was also slow, like linpeas
pspy was also slightly slower
interacting with the WP management website is also slow
so my guess the VM is slowing everything down
Hello :D
For this room : https://tryhackme.com/room/crackthehash for the 1st task, question 4 (||bcrypt||)
I was wondering if I should use a website or an app like hashcat ?
Hashcat or John is recommended for cracking hashes
@bronze vale do you think I should contact THM directly on this performance issue?
okay, I was wondering because in the second part it says "All of the answers will be in the classic rock you password list." but it's not said for the first part
@bronze vale do you think I should contact THM directly on this performance issue?
@sudden adder I don’t think it’s their issue but if you want to enquire about it go ahead I guess?
And hashcat is very slow on my computer :/ like 70H/s (while 9 000H/s with benchmark mode)
so what do you think is the issue?
@sly yoke Are you cracking on CPU or GPU?
What GPU are you using if I may ask?
It should be faster than 70
yes definitely
What I don't understand is why 70 in real mode and 9.000 in benchmark :/
What command are you using out of interest
I tried multiple ones like :
hashcat -m 3200 <hash> >wordlist>
hashcat -m 3200 <hash> >wordlist> -O
hashcat -m 3200 <hash> >wordlist> -w 3
hashcat -m 3200 <hash> >wordlist> -w 3 -O
It might help if you put the hash in a .txt file
it should be just hashcat -m 3200 hash.txt rockyou.txt
does it give an error?
* Device #1: CUDA SDK Toolkit installation NOT detected.
CUDA SDK Toolkit installation required for proper device support and utilization
Falling back to OpenCL Runtime
* Device #1: WARNING! Kernel exec timeout is not disabled.
This may cause "CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES" or related errors.
To disable the timeout, see: https://hashcat.net/q/timeoutpatch
but it says the same with benchmark
Are you running on Windows or Linux?
Linux
is that bcrypt?
its made to be slow to crack
I know
if i recall correctly
Linux
@sly yoke Is that a virtual machine by any chance
You mean a bare metal install
What do you mean by bare metal ? ^^
How are you running Linux
On my computer
Like on my real disk
no VM
A possibility is that benchmark uses bcrypt with a cost of 5 (32 iterations) while the bcrypt the room gives, uses a cost of 12 which is 4096 iterations
maybe my drivers
and / or the dual screen + VM in background 🤷
But Is that strange that an easy room ask for a bcrypt with a cost of 12 ? x)
it says 900 H/s with 8 GTX Titan X
I need help with verification D:
!docs verify
tried and it says that it cannot be verified
"I'm sorry but I couldn't find the specified token!"
Where did you get the token from
yup yup
are you copying it currectly
We need some more experienced with the bot then
Boy do I see muir online @barren birch
I can wait some time no worries
@coarse hawk Did you leave the brackets around it by any mischance?..
!verify asdsgsdfsdsdasdaf
Not !verify <asfdgsdfsdfsdasda>
Np 🙂
With the Cuda drivers I've earn like 10H/s i'm now arround 85H/s
uhm
hell
Can anyone help with my OpenVPN connection?
Tue Aug 25 08:55:09 2020 Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed```
I got this error lately.
And I tried to access my machine's IP using Firefox, but it did not work.
Here's a screenshot of my full output
I'm not sure what the problem is. You're connected.
He still can't access webpages
Can you try killing this connection and connecting again
And THM's access page says I am not connected.
multi vpns?
I will.
One second.
px aux | grep openvpn
!multivpn
Make sure you have setup your VPN connection correctly https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn
Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
If there's more than one line (that don't start with "grep" or sudo), do the following steps
Type sudo killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter
Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>
Can you visit 10.10.10.10 ?
So is this the new permanent website that's up @grave leaf ?
Thank you guys, I appreciate it a lot. ^-^
What about http://10.10.75.202/
probably your box wasn't up yet
I don't know anything about that site. 10.10.10.10 is the site we use to check if VPN's are connected.
it takes sometime for some boxes
Maybe there used to be another one.
Should I tell you my VPN IP?
No need.
If you're able to connect to that site, you are connected to the network.
Thank you. Although the access page is a bit lying lol.
The access page isn't to be necessarily trusted.
Alright.
Alright.
@naive dust is it solved?
Yes.
Hi, i am unable to complete "Learn Linux" room: https://tryhackme.com/room/zthlinux
I see no questions, every task is already marked in green, but progress is 0%
Leave the room and rejoin
works, thank you
No problem
how long should an nmap -A -p- scan typically take?
A while
depends on the box
normal for it to be like 20+ minutes or does it scale for the environment
I believe it will run faster if you do them separately
is that why I see the -T4 used in conjuction a lot with it (ie they do T4 first while the -A is running?)
-T4 changes the intensity. More noise but quicker
ah gotcha, thanks
What about http://10.10.75.202/
@vernal ruin the IP changed to 10.10.10.10
im trying to download openvpn, but when i run the command sudo openvpn path/name.opvn it sends me an error
screenshot please
@wind wedge
Try /home/user/Downloads/openvpnfile
same issue
Where did you download the config file to?
direct to downloads folder
/root/Downloads/file
same issue
Start typing it, press tab
please don't use that word
We don't use that word here. It's a slur.
I started the metaspolit room.. So I am in the tasks and there is a task for me to discover open ports using Nmap. But when I do the Nmap scan, the particular port that is asked in the question is not showing up.. Why is that? 😬🧐
what command are you using?
do it outside of msf you'll get better results
Ok
btw
if I am using a VM running kali,
do I have to use the VPN on Kali or the host?
kali
yes
my in browser machine keeps closing the connection as soon as it is established
any ideas?
is anyone going to respond?
someone will help you please be patient some may busy I would help but I don't use the in-browser machine so unfortunately I can't help you
Hi, im having some issues with the vpn connection
Im on virtualBox with kali
I got my config file and I installed openvpn
What issues are you having?
I'm stuck on: hold a sec 😄
Does anyone have any tips on speeding up scans? Mostly the nmap -p- scan.. I've yet to finish one at all, after running for 4 hours one
++ Certificate has EKU (str) TLS Web Server Authentication, expects TLS Web Server Authentication
and its on a loop
What server are you using?
EU Regular 1
Try and regenerate your download file and see if that works
I've had it start working after rebooting my VM, the first time I set up
EU1 is working fine as I was using it earlier close your terminal and see if it works and try run the command again
"vnc.tryhackme.tech unexpectedly closed the connection."
@wind wedge I always forget to set that 😩
@deep trellis in browser do weird things, any chance you can take a look when you're free?
Yeah, I just deployed the AttackBox a few minutes ago and had no issues
"vnc.tryhackme.tech unexpectedly closed the connection."
@terse kelp Whats the internal IP of the browser-based machine you're having issues with?
10.10.150.10
@wind wedge that's good to know.. Thanks
I've never been able to use the browser based Kali machine since the day I subscribed
and therefore.....i've made absolutely no progress whatsoever
Do you all refund fees?
I'm having a hard time at CTF 100
@cedar cape one of the stages has an OVA to download to deal with that
10.10.150.10
@terse kelp Okay, 1 moment, please don't terminate the machine.
I've never been able to use the browser based Kali machine since the day I subscribed
@terse kelp It works fine for me?
Hasn't closed the connection for me at all
Try using another browser (or going incognito)?
Don't know what to tell you.....it never even opens for me
Copy/paste the URL and try another browser?
That's why I am here asking for tech assistance
🧐
@Norseman the browser based one is crazy slow for me, I couldn't use it... The VPN and VM is great
It won't open in any browser I try
@Norseman the browser based one is crazy slow for me, I couldn't use it... The VPN and VM is great
@cursive oar Really? It should be fast - where country are you from?
It won't open in any browser I try
@terse kelp What browser are you using?
I'm spooling up my server to open my Ubuntu VM.....I'll try it on that
Chrome.....IE......Edge....
Tried them all
It might be something on your network that is blocking access to it?
Could you try using 4G to see if its a network error on your end?
it loads just fine on my phone.....hmmm....now to figure out the blockadge
blockage
more interesting....it works just fine on Firefox on my Ubuntu VM
Must be a Windows issue
Antivirus perhaps?
the only anti virus i run is the built in windows security
Ok now I'm extra weirded out
why?
Because it doesn't happen here, same setup
And if it works on the same network on Linux, it sounds like a windows problem
oh ok
If you want to check your connection, there's a webserver up 24/7 on http://10.10.10.10
It will give you your VPN IP too
@cursive oar Really? It should be fast - where country are you from?
@deep trellis
Its most likely due my internet connection... I have satellite internet with 25Mbps
Oh, satellite will do it
Yeah, it sucks that its the only internet I can get where I'm at
any mod I can dm? I know its vague but its an issue I would rather ask in dm
dmed
Anyone experiencing issues with the box going kaput once it hits 59 minutes?
Everytime i deploy the box it gives me 2 hours. Once it hits 59:59, the box goes offline and I have to revert. It "appears" if I attempt to extend before the 1 hour 1 min mark, it goes offline as well.
A windows box?
ive been through multiple boxes. appears be the same thing
Windows boxes?
Im going through my notes and yea i believe that is the case
sorry I was thinking I may have had a linux box, but that was HTB
i was working on relevant and hackpark
It's a known bug with Windows boxes, that the admins are investigating it
alright
That's more suited to #general as it's not directly THM related
@eager fulcrum so should i ask in general or just somewhere else all together?
is there a way to filter cves for an specific term?
thanks @eager fulcrum
Are there any issues with the subsciption process on the website? During the submission process, the sign up button appears to not work. Any information appreciated!
i think I found a bug in a the 10owasp room, I have a typeError of Undefined in the XSS reflected challenge 🤔
Go to / then follow the link @civic dragon
@deep trellis no answer yet on the supoort email. Please have a look :)
Well that's the fix so 🤷♂️
my deployed machine ends before the timer reaches anywhere near 0
crashing?
Dont know, it just gives me the machine has been terminated popup and I cant see the bar after that
refresh?
that did the trick
yeah it happens often
Hey what's up
I just deploy the machine vulnversity and it sucessfully connected
but when i try to put the ip in my web browser it says that it can't connect
(sorry for my english)
I can ping the machine and it's alright
Not all machines run a webserver on port 80
Therefore you can't always put an IP into your browser and get a webpage
Vulnversity does not run a webserver on port 80
Ok but i tried with another rooms
I would recommend following through the room
It will work with some other rooms
Rooms where the VMs run a webserver on port 80
Oh ok, but why it doesn't show up for me but for someone it does
@eager fulcrum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kAN7zNE7jo
Servidor de Discord CYBEX: https://discordapp.com/invite/WeS2Epy
min 7:22
it shows up the web
but for me it doesn't
It's not on port 80
Please follow the room and find out what port it's listening on
@eager fulcrum it's on 3333
I know
But it doesn't show up
I regenerated my openvpn keys but nothing happens
@eager fulcrum The room doesn't work for me
Please can you try to be less vague?
What exactly are you doing, what do you expect to happen?
Okay
I'm just trying to make the room work
When i connect with openvpn (sudo openvpn mivpn.ovpn)
it says it correctly worked
but when i do an nmap or ping it doesn't work
and it doesn't "show up" on the web
!vpnscript
@eager fulcrum it says that it works fine
Ok, can I ask for some screenshots of what you're doing?
Ok wait
i downloaded nmap on mac and only zenmap is in my applications folder
https://imgur.com/dRtDkIB.png @eager fulcrum
You're still trying to connect on port 80
i downloaded nmap on mac and only zenmap is in my applications folder
@simple needle nmap is a command line program, open a terminal.
oh okay sorry
Maybe because you changed the port to the correct port?
thanks dude!
Happy Hacking
No i was in the port 3333
The first screenshot wasn't, but ok
I can't seem to get hashcat to work with the web based Kali machine. something I am missing?
it doesn't work, because the machine doesn't have a GPU
Don't use --force, it won't work properly
so... what do I do? what's the point of the web box if all the tools won't work
also, john doesn't appear to be installed on it

Which badges?
tryhackme badges
Hi,
I am a Subscriber. When I join rooms, I do not see any questions to answer. It does not display. I am able to deploy VMs but it still shows that I have not joined any rooms. However, I do have many rooms in 'My Rooms'.
Any help.
Thanks
This is what it looks like.
Hello, how do I change my username on the site? I mistakenly set my name as the username and I don't want to share my personal information. Can anyone help me with that?
Email support@tryhackme.com and explain and I'm sure they'll help you out.
Okay, thanks
hello, i can't download my openvpn config file can anyone help me?
it says error 404
Try a different VPN server. Which server was 404ing?
EU-Regular-2
If you want to stick with that VPN server then click regenerate and wait about 30s and see if that helps?
oke
There's always EU 1 which is in the same geographical location
oke
There are 3 groups of people that can reset your progress in a room
The room creator, and admin, or MuirlandOracle.
is there a way to delet account so i can reset progress
ok
can anyone tell me how can I share these badges to linkedin or any other social media ?

You can't.
CVE-2019-1388 help please
It's not a command line application
The exploit requires a gui
#room-help was the correct place
seriously oh sorry my bad
I exploited using the instructions given yet I am not getting in. why is that??
Hey can anyone help me
I am facing a error in Kali Linux
Resuming from hibernation
Run Alt+F3 to drop into a shell, check for obvious issues like disk space being full etc...
I did
And was the disk space full?
Are you running inside of a virtualmachine?
can you just try run sudo apt clean && sudo apt autoremove && sync && sudo reboot
The only other solution I could think of for this specific issue would be to edit grub from cli and add the noresume option
The only other solution I could think of for this specific issue would be to edit grub from cli and add the
noresumeoption
@vestal beacon how do i do that
?
add GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noresume" to /etc/default/grub and run sudo update-grub
Wait, did you remove quiet splash
And can you send a screenshot of the whole screen
Does your system have a graphical display manager?
Can you check that the package gdm is installed?
How
Login to the TTY and run dpkg -l | grep gdm
Yes
It's gdm3
GNOME Display Manager
@vestal beacon what was u saying about did i remove quiet splash ?
Okay this is going to sound a weird suggestion but do the following:
Add
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
to
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
then run sudo update-initramfs -u && reboot
I don't have nouveau.conf
Create it
I have libnfc.conf
Don't do anything with that file
Create /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
And add the above
Ok
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
If you do this and reboot and are met with the same IPV6 error, drop into shell and temporarily disable it with nmcli radio wifi off just to get through the boot sequence
nmcli radio wifi off
Any changes to the boot sequence?
Should i reboot ?
Yes
Ok
If it doesn't work, I'm pretty much out of suggestions outside of backing up important files and reinstalling Kali
@vestal beacon but what were u talk about did i remove quiet splash ?
On the boot options
quiet splash noresume
Where should i write it
It's a command
Ok
Did it work?
@leaden hare
I guess when the problem is solved, you're not needed anymore 
Im having issues with the site.
Whenever I try to download my configurations to the VPN it leads me to a 404 page
systemd-analyze blame ?
Whenever I try to download my configurations to the VPN it leads me to a 404 page
@toxic cedar .
Someone know how to fix that?
@toxic cedar restart your wifi and computer
@vestal beacon maybe I'll sleep now and cry for a bit and then install Kali again 
It's the only options, I've gone through all known solutions, and discord support can only do so much.
Thanks for helping me

Yeah same
Its not actually 404
Its 403
If you try to request the download via the console it will return that error
Oh I see
Maybe because theyre doing an update or something? Not sure
How can you request the download via console?
wget
well the onclick event triggers a js method. there is no url.
i mean ofcourse there is.
you may try to find it ?
Yeah. I think I'll try that. But just incase, help me out later
try this : https://tryhackme.com/vpn/get-config
you'll certainly need your cookies
EU-Regular-2
try this : https://tryhackme.com/vpn/get-config
@sly yoke Dudeeeeee I feel like a total retard. I got that from the page source but was too lazy to read xD
@deep trellis Thank you so much
You'll need to regenerate your config first.
Im not being able to execute any command after accessing the Host with SSH command
Anyone knows why?
Hello friends. I have a problem with Alfred room when building jenkins project and i get the following errors. I downloaded the powershell script from the room's description and i didnt modity it. Can anyone please help me? I already google it but i found nothing.
What’s the issue exactly
Are there any write ups on the room
Yes. But all worked and i did the same steps.
And nc - lnvp
nc -lvnp Port
Thats how i saw in the walkthroughs and they all worked
So you say that if i just build the proiect and run nc it will work?
Well you need multiple things running at the same time, Python for it to download the file and netcat to catch the listener
I did all this stuff but nothing.
On the python window does it output anything
Screenshot the python window please
Are you putting your tun0 IP in the command you’re running on the website?
Yes
The error is probably because it’s not getting the file you need for the reverse shell
But on top of that it’s not even connecting to your machine as it should be at least trying to grab something but it can’t
So there’s something that’s stopping it from executing but I’m not sure what exactly
I searched in history and this seem to be the problem with this situation
But i dont find any other script for this room. All sites have this script
If you terminate and redeploy the room it should reset it back to the original state and thus no files should be downloaded.

I did and re run the commands but it didnt work
Hey, it seems it works. I dont know how cause i didnt do anything different
😅
Atleast you havent been hacked
Thank you very much for your help. Have a nice day
U2. Cheers
I know i shouldnt expose the IP but i count on you guys😅
I was in a hurry.
THM VPN iP is perfectly fine
@vestal beacon
It's ok
@barren birch
VPN and other technical questions related to TryHackMe
You could’ve just posted it in general :/
I have people pinging me
Aree it was that kind of problem
Fingers crossed it works pal
Btw suitguy thnx for helping me out
All good dude
Ya
ok, trying again. Hashcat won't run on the subscriber VM. it also doesn't seem to have John on it. is that correct? I ran find... no john. since the boxes are not permanent, I don't see a reason to install john for cracking. what's the prevailing advice in this situation?
I'll move this to general
Those boxes are not meant for hash cracking
so I've discovered 🙂 so how would someone get through the 'crack the hash' room then?
Using their own computer
Hashcat and John are on all Linux versions and Windows. I think they’re on Mac too
I have a subscription question is this the right room
I have a subscription question is this the right room
@primal fossil you can ask here or #general
Ok thanks. I noticed that it says if you pay for 6 months or a year there is a discount. How exactly do you do that? I only saw month to month on the website
lol
I really dont mind paying the 10 a month, it is more than fair but if I can pay for the year its better
Nope understandable!
We’re just waiting for someone who may know that, cuz I don’t
@rigid oxide May know if he’s paying attention
im not sure, but I think when you use paypal you can select for up to a year and then it has a discount compared to paying for three months.
I appreciate it!
hello
when i run the ovpn file, i get the message,Initialization Sequence Completed,and status is online on the access website,the box is running too
now what am i supposed to do?
sorry this is my first time
is something broken? am i supposed to get a shell?
I would recommend doing the welcome room so you get a better understanding of how to do the basics
Hello in Jeff CTF room I found the user.txt flag but it saying that it's incorrect but I'm sure that it's the right one because it's located in /home/Jeff folder
That belongs in #room-help
But anyway it can't be the right answer
otherwise it would have accepted it
@turbid dock like blackout said #room-hints or #room-help. But you have to decode it to get the flag
@wind wedge i tried doing the welcome room
it went fine
but when i did the metasploit room,i got this error
What OS are you using?
Mac OS catalina
I would recommend making a kali Linux VM which it will have all the software you need preinstalled
Search up how to make a kali VM and it's very straightforward
is port forwarding required for rooms/ the VPN?
I don't think so
sudo openvpn /home/user/Downloads/ovpnfile
How did you download your ovpn file?
It looks like it’s an html doc, did you wget the webpage?

im sorry
No sorry necessary
i thought it would work aaa
You gotta either wget the right link or just manually download it
Manual easier for this one 🙂
Haha no worries, mistakes are how we learn!
👀
the problem with my VM is that bidirectional clipboard doesnt really work
idk why the settings say bidirectional,but i cant copy and paste stuff
Go to the site in the vm and download it there
you should be able to
you can try 10.10.10.10
@sly yoke works
it means you're connected
oh great
Hey people
Are there any recommended sources to add to my /etc/apt/sources.list so I don't have annoying messages like this
What does your sources.list look like atm
I have a question, why do my linux based OSs like Ubuntu and Kali internet stop working after I've been some time using the OpenVPN?
Keep in mind, they are on virtual machines
Only has:
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
That's right
but if it cant even locate openvpn
like
do I need any other sources?
or am I trying to install it incorrectly
Do apt update first. Also wrong channel.
Trying to connect to the machine for Nmap but I cant get it to let me in
Are you trying to ssh
putty defaults to ssh so I just left it there
You can’t. The room doesn’t tell you to either :)
It’s a room for nmap
You’re meant to scan the room
Download nmap and use the room to guide you to using it
Do apt update first. Also wrong channel.
@placid mango what channel should I use in the future?
Hey, I'm trying to look at Madness, I've restarted the machine 3 times now, waited about 10-15 minutes and im getting no responce on nmap (with -Pn) pings, etc. checking writeups shows this shouldnt be happening, any solutions to this?
I am connected to the vpn*
!vpnscript
Reboot your machine
that worked, probs should have tried that first, thanks
Happy Hacking
on nmap I cant get a version number to show up for the ports needed on the NMap room
-sV
Screenshot @modern rune
Hey why websites on every room are loading and nthg happens i can check the source but the page doesn't load
hi - are password cracking tools (john, hashcat etc) deliberately not available in the virtual access machines?
keep seeing this:
Command 'john' is available in '/usr/sbin/john'
The command could not be located because '/usr/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
This is most likely caused by the lack of administrative privileges associated with your user account.
john: command not found
Also tried to run the windows cracker in MSF but it said:
] Auxiliary failed: Metasploit::Framework::PasswordCracker::PasswordCrackerNotFoundError No suitable john/hashcat binary was found on the system
[-] Call stack:
[-] /opt/metasploit-framework/embedded/framework/lib/metasploit/framework/password_crackers/cracker.rb:294:in binary_path' [-] /opt/metasploit-framework/embedded/framework/lib/metasploit/framework/password_crackers/cracker.rb:321:in cracker_version'
[-] /opt/metasploit-framework/embedded/framework/modules/auxiliary/analyze/crack_windows.rb:171:in `run'
Ahh right, I thought i was OK running from root
I'll try that
Thank you
You can add that directory to PATH
This might be an administrative question, but:
Where do I find whether my UNI is in the tryhackme list for discounts? 
That should tell you everything @coarse hawk
Hey guys. I have this issue where, on my local Kali VM, I always get the error message "Exploit completed, but no session was created". My bandaid solution for now is to just deploy a TryHackMe Kali VM, ssh into it and follow the exact same steps. The exploit always works this way. This has happened on 3 boxes now and its driving me mad. Has anyone else encountered this issue before? Does anyone have any idea as to what could be preventing reverse shells from connecting? I've already created another fresh Kali VM to no avail. I've also run the VPN check scripts and everything seems fine.
Show me your options pls
in metasploit?
Yes
Let me deploy Steel again, not currently connected to anything
Is your VPN running directly in your kali VM?
What happens when you run it?
It works on the THM kali?
(The LHOST IPs are the only difference, obviously because the THM machine has its own IP)
yeah
Oh you want to fix it on your own kali
all 3 boxes ive done so far work on THM Kali not my own
Update MSF?
sorry if I wasn't clear at first, bit sleep deprived hahaha
Update MSF?
@eager fulcrum I tried that one my other Kali VM and it didn't fix it
Check firewalls like ufw or IP tables?
Have you had any reverse shells of any kind working on your VM?
Check firewalls like ufw or IP tables?
@eager fulcrum Inside Kali or on Windows
Kali. Because it goes over the VPN so Windows can't see the traffic at all.
Have you had any reverse shells of any kind working on your VM?
@eager fulcrum Nope, tried to manually use an exploit and have netcat listen for reverse shell. Didn't work
what should I check for in regards to ufw?
like, if im listening on port X, I should check that ufw is allowing traffic on it?
Just checked, dont have ufw installed
ip a s tun0 in the VM works?
ip a s tun0in the VM works?
@eager fulcrum
ip a s tun0in the VM works?
@eager fulcrum
seems to
!vpnscript
Can you open a listener on 4242 please?
Gonna give something a go, lmk when it's listening
Can you open a listener on 4242 please?
@eager fulcrum This enough?
yup
Ok well that's super weird
Does tryhackme have an iso or VM image that they use as a default image of their machines?
Kinda curious to see as to whether I could DL it and see if it works on my PC
For some of Dark's machines, you can download an OVA
I mean the personalised VMs subs can spin up to work within their browser
Those aren't available
feelsbad
And you'd still need the VPN
If you've used different installs of kali, you've removed that as a variable
Thats true
Although both were 2020 kali versions. One was 2020.1 and the other was 2020.3
Do you work from within a VM?
VirtualBox?
I switched to VMWare as I have free licenses and it's faster on my hardware but I've used both
VMWare is free for using just a single VM anyways right?
I might give it a try and see how it goes
You can use Player and run multiple VMs, but there are people here who use vbox happily
I think @bronze vale ?
I use both interchangeably
hmmmmm
If anything pops to mind that you want me to try feel free to shoot me a message, I'd appreciate it. And thanks for all the help so far. I'll let you know if using VMWare makes a difference
Not much at the moment
I'm unable to download the Throwback Network VPN config. gives me 404 error
anyone else?
Maybe click regenerate, wait 30s and try again?
yup, tried that
@deep trellis
yup, tried that
@humble root Which OpenVPN server are you on?
Trying to press "Download my configuration file"
Sorry about that, let me take a look. What's your TryHackMe usrname?
Sorry about that, let me take a look. What's your TryHackMe usrname?
I just moved you servers, like 1 second ago.
Please can you regenerate your config file, wait 10 seconds and download it again:)
sure thing
You'll be on the 10.200.6.0/24 network now.
Can confirm it works now. Thanks, that was fast
No worries, thanks James for the ping too.
if it's a directly tryhackme related issue then ask away, otherwise #general is the place to ask
When I paste ip of the machine I get this message ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED I have connected to a second server( and changed profile) but nothing also tried to wait 1 hour .
learn linux
If you work through the room, it explains how to connect
ok but i managed to get to first machine
There is only one machine in the room
You are supposed to ssh into it as the room says
ok but i managed to get to first machine
@violet yarrow Yes, because that machine ran a webserver
Please continue working through the room?
ok, tnx
cant get version to show up in nmap
NMap room
Please show your command
I thiink task 3 Q4
It looks like you're scanning the wrong thing
nmap -sV
Full command please.
just an ip after that
Ok I'm giving up here. I asked for the full command and I'm not being given it. Someone else can help.
For nmap how do i access my machine when its deployed to use the help menu? its being run through openvpn
@modern rune Screenshot your terminal with the command used
For nmap how do i access my machine when its deployed to use the help menu? its being run through openvpn
@naive dust Could you explain your issue?
it worked this time? Im good I guess
im confused as to how im meant to access the help menu, the help option above doesnt contain any of this
google works for those
Are you on windows @naive dust
yeah im on windows i should probably be running this through a VM huh
You don't have to but in my opinion it is easier, here is the online manual, you may be able to view it better
https://linux.die.net/man/1/nmap
https://nmap.org/book/man-briefoptions.html
okay thank you, i am planning on subscribing but im not sure yet so ill probably run a vm till then
Running a VM is great for students (and professionals) and I highly recommend it
The only downside is you can't use Hashcat as efficiently in a VM so you need to run a Windows install of it
But at least there's John
yeah, if i subscribed and used the kali in browser i wouldnt need to be running in a VM correct?
You wouldn't need to but if you've already got a VM that's running fine, might as well keep running the VM
alright, much appreciated help im gonna mess around with a VM later then
How to remove account ?
email support@tryhackme.com
ok thx
hi, I have some issues with VirtualBox, when I connect using the VPN to the virtual machine of the room, my whole ubuntu just loses internet connection after like 5 mins
I did some research and I fixed the network adapter
to bridged
Are there any errors from the VPN?
Nope
So it’s an issue with VBox itself?
I am gonna look at it, to see if an error pops up
But I am 70% sure it's from VBox, yeah
Sorry we don’t deal with those issues here but you’re happy to ask in #general
If VBox continues I’d recommend trying the free version of VMware for a few days to see if that loses connection, if not we know 100% it’s VBox.
My DMs are always open for some troubleshooting though if you’re stuck :)
Alright, thanks man ❤️
Question, whats the best free VM software out there?
VMware or virtualbox would be your best bet to start
okay thanks
Hey guys, so I'm currently looking to subscribe as a student. Sadly my email is not recognized as a student mail. Is it possible to flag my account as a student?
