@dapper idol The metasploit room is not broken.
@eager fulcrum ah, it appears you are right. for the longest time msfdb init returned "try running as a non root user"

eager fulcrum
#

That's not the room

#

That's your machine.

dapper idol
#

ah, ok so it's the attackbox vm

#

Should a link like "internal.thm/something/else" resolve to the IP address of the box I'm currently working on? Asking for a me.

working on Room Vulnerversity, and the im trying to get to the website 10.10.66.34:3333 which is a web server for the room using the browser. Site can't be reached. Could my work VPN be blocking it? Not sure how to connect via browser

minor kite
#

Were you able to connect to the THM VPN?

uncut oak
#

I use the Kali Linux in house

#

or the Kali that comes w/ htm

#

thm

minor kite
#

...and were you able to connect to the THM VPN?

#

Oh - you're using the browser Kali?

uncut oak
#

yes

minor kite
#

Can't help with that one - I connect w/Open VPN.

uncut oak
#

if i were to pursue my OSCP, maybe it's prudent to buy a new laptop so I can run Kali on there and use as my pen testing machine

#

how is Kali used w/ OpenVPN?

#

do you need your own Kali

minor kite
#

You get an OpenVPN file from THM, then use it to connect. Yes, you would use it to connect your own physical/virtual machine to the THM network.

uncut oak
#

wait, so where is kali in all this?

#

sorry not understanding

minor kite
#

I run Kali in a VM on my personal machine. Inside Kali, I connect via OpenVPN to the THM network.

uncut oak
#

ah ok, gotcha, thanks for that. So if you use OpenVPN you have to have your own version of Kali somewhere

#

how is using kali as a VM?

minor kite
#

Not sure that's 100% true - it might work inside the web Kali machine that you're using supplied by THM, but I suspect that's not the problem.

uncut oak
#

is it a pain in the ass or do you think having a seperate laptop is just more clean?

minor kite
#

We're off topic for this room - I we can pick it up in #general if you want...

#

Room: Internal. Should a link like "internal.thm/something/else" resolve to the IP address of the box I'm currently working on? Asking for a me.

eager fulcrum
#

@minor kite you need to add it to etc hosts

minor kite
#

Thanks - did I miss that somewhere (for future reference)?

I believe you're told

#

Okay. Missed it then. Thx.

Dang. You're correct. Thanks again. Apologies.

Hello guys...I just encountered a error regarding .ovpn file that we use to connect to the tryhackme network and I am not able to ping the machine for further enumeration. I tried regenerating the file but it didn't work : ( . As soon as I open the configuration file it stucks at "Initialization sequence completed" and then I cant connect to the tryhackme machine. Help would be really appreciated : )

Can I ask for help here in order to fix problems with postgresql due to which msfdb is not working on my machine?

VPN and other technical questions related to TryHackMe

#

Heya, I am not sure if this is the right channel for this. If it is wrong, please point me to the correct channel. Starting up a new VM for the initial room (the one where you are to open up firefox) results in 405 Method not allowed. I am not sure if this is correct behavior, as the first task specifies to load up and copy paste a value (flag) from that screen. Is this correct or a bug ?

#

Using the free vm at this point, so I am not sure if related or not.

bronze vale
#

I'm very confused at what the issue is?

#

You're trying to start a TryHackMe VM or you're trying to boot a room VM?

outer coral
#

AttackBox VM

#

The THM one

bronze vale
#

So you're trying to boot the AttackBox and you're getting a 405 error?

outer coral
#

Okay, let me try to give a more approperiate description of my confusion 😄 One sec

#

Okay, I think I found my "issue"... I misunderstood the instructions I guess.

#

Apologizing.

Are you on a VM?

i'm not briding it

supple sonnet

you wont get passthru unless its a USB adapter

i have it on a usb filter

its a usb adapter

supple sonnet

do you have the required drivers installed?

digital yarrow

#

on linux ?

supple sonnet
#

yep

#

Linux requires drivers too

digital yarrow
#

i mean it worked before

supple sonnet
#

you'll want to run lsusb to see if it's being recognized

digital yarrow
#

i fiddled with it plug unplug it worked

#

it is

#

@supple sonnet

supple sonnet
#

im guessing you've tried rebooting?

digital yarrow

tens of times

try a

and see if you can see any SSIDs

Spooky in help chats 👀 No offense spooks

digital yarrow

no SSIDs i tried that

supple sonnet
#

then something on the VM must be broken

Hey guys, I'm having problems with the VM in the "relevant" room. After deploying and waiting for 5 minutes, accessing any service (HTTP, SMB) works for at first but it's extremely slow and after a few seconds the connection breaks down completely. I've already terminated and redeployed machines couple of times, still the problem remains. Also renewed my VPN connection, didn't help either. Do you have any ideas? I can't finish the room like this. Thanks.

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>

Hello tech support, is there any way I can download the THM VM so I can use it on my machine at home with VMware?

@vernal ruin ok..i will look into that

naive dust
#

Why can't I see the new "Networks" tab in my account unless I sign out?

eager fulcrum
#

@vernal ruin probably because you didn't follow the AWS conversion requirements

vernal ruin
#

I am doing exactly what I have been doing all this time

eager fulcrum
#

AWS disagrees.

vernal ruin
#

I have Image Format as OVA, Operating System as Ubuntu Server 18.04 (This site you just linked doesn't list 18.04 as supported, but it's listed on THM) , File System is MBR with ext4 , and Licensing as Auto as it says for Linux Systems. Then there is more info about creating aws specifc roles and installing aws cli tools and stuff on the VM, and I'm guessing that doesn't apply here. Under Required Configuration that I can control, Vmware Tools are not installed, No CD-ROM Drives, the VM was shut down before exporting, DHCP service is functional. I have no idea what else to check for.

eager fulcrum
#

@deep trellis did you mention before that you can check the reasons it failed to convert? Might be useful here

@fallen fiber Run that VPN script above, it's super stable for me

You are most probably running multiple instances. Just run the script to know for sure or kill the instances

I can't seem to figure out the issue @deep trellis I just need to change permission of one file on the existing vm that's uploaded. Is there any way that can be possible

#

if you can deploy the box, it can be cloned with the changes made, you'll just need Skidy and or Ashu to be available

Since the last two days I get after a bit of time connected to the VPN these two errors in the log:
Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed
and
TLS Error: local/remote TLS keys are out of sync: [AF_INET]<IP>:<PORT>

I already regenerated the openvpn config file. Does anyone know what's up?

bronze vale
#

Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed is just a warning it means nothing

If you're having connection issues please run the VPN script, regenerate your VPN configuration file and switch servers.

#

Hi, is there anyone around?

#

I've recently joined thm and I can't launch the vpn therefore access any machine . I get a 404 network when trying to download the configuration file. I am new to this so I don't know. But after reading the rules, one of them states to do some research first. I tried to look for the file on the openvpn website but that was useless; it didn't work. I don't want to break anything on my computer so I think it is wiser to ask what to do.

supple sonnet
#

You didn't break anything -- don't worry.

#

Try switching VPN servers and attempting to download a new config pack?

Your dashboard on tryhackme.

#

@supple sonnet Will that still work? I mean , there is a reason why they chose openvpn no? it's free and open source and I would assume easy to use? Let's say I try to download another vpn file, will the process be the same?

#

I'm just reading your message again...VPN or switching VPN server? I would assume one mean downloading the file from a different source.

supple sonnet
#

This seems like a one off issue

#

ex, I have US-West selected, try AU-Regular, or something like that and re-download your config file.

#

Ok that worked. Thanks. Can I close the terminal or do I need to leave it open?

To get the vpn for throwback you go to access machine then OpenVPN then you will see a separate tab for Networks and that is the file you use to access throwback not too sure about the second one @rotund rover

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you on behalf of the support team @naive dust.

I know a very large part of them have been away with family/IRL and the other working these last couple of days.

I know Jabba has pinged someone from there who may be able to help - if he manages to get the time I'm sure he'll see it and respond appropriately

Okay so

#

The only thing I can do is run you through the checks, but as you are not the only one complaining of the VPN I will ask Skidy if there are any current issues.

#

First things first is checking your connection but I trust your internet is running at a sufficient level

#

So I'm going to get you to run the VPN script which will tell you any problems with your connection

#

!vpnscript

If that wouldn't trouble you of course.

#

Hey @untold vector sorry to hear that. I expect the Kiba and Wordpress rooms to be a little bit slow initially. Are you a subscriber out of curiosity?

bronze vale
#

They are a subscriber CMN

#

I am currently using openvpn EU-VIP-1

zealous yoke
#

Ah yes, EU-VIP-1 😅 apologies

bronze vale
#

😄

#

looks good on my side
@exotic vortex Just going to check with an American friend. Just need to see what server he is on 2 minutes.

zealous yoke
#

The kiba one I appreciate is slow. Even for subscribers the Wordpress ones can take a couple of minutes to fully boot up due to how much is running on them. Do you mind me asking which ones you’ve tried so I can benchmark them please? Will see if we need to resource boost or not

untold vector
#

Yeah I am a subscriber and i use EU-VIP-1 ok but out of those boxes ? like intro to x-86/64 ? my r2 debugger keeps breaking down and so slow at debugging

#

this is very silly question but does my terminal theme bother's it ? because on default terminal too wasn't receiving good response

zealous yoke
#

Mhhhm okies, and your SSH to those that it applies to is near enough instant and reliable? I.e. doesn’t disconnect you after a few minutes?

untold vector
#

i tried the basic stuff like switching servers but EU-VIP-2 for me breaks the openvpn connection because of which i have to reboot the whole box

zealous yoke
#

Apologies for all the questions, just trying to pinpoint this one 😁

exotic vortex
#

@bronze vale Thanks 🙂

untold vector
#

Na doesn't disconnect except for today but i guess i may have messed up my internet

bronze vale
#

@bronze vale Thanks 🙂
@exotic vortex I pinged Ashu, when he is available he will fix any issues, if there are any.

exotic vortex
#

no worries. appreciate it!

untold vector
#

please no need for apologies

zealous yoke
#

I gotcha. Yeah switching servers means that you'll have to download a VPN connection file which would explain that

untold vector
#

i did downloaded and waited 10 seconds after regenerating it

zealous yoke
#

but if you're only getting the performance issues from today (taking a guess here) after you noticed issues it sounds like you might have a multiple connections running

#

Actually there seems to be a few reports of EU-VIP-1 being a bit slow

#

Jabba's pinged the right guy for it

#

I'd try switching to another server and regenning, then running the VPN script as a sanity check in the mean time tbh (:

#

!vpnscript

sharp bisonBOT
untold vector
#

thank you actually switching to another USA server gives me around 350+ ms
so i did switch to EU-regular but the results are not fair enough thanks anyways

bronze vale
#

As soon as Ashu is ready he will be on it!

exotic vortex
#

I would recommend adding a ping test in the script (to measure latency)

atomic yoke
#

Can anyone help me?

bronze vale
#

I think regenerating might fix that

#

Lemme see

#

Have you tried regenerating your config file/ switching servers?

atomic yoke
#

Yes

#

This is the second one

bronze vale
#

Have you made sure to redownload affter switching?

#

Oh I see

#

Apparently this happens now and then, the server breaks

atomic yoke
#

Oh so is there anything i can do?

bronze vale
#

Well you can't do much

#

What server are you on?

atomic yoke
#

EU-Regular-2

bronze vale
#

@deep trellis EU-Regular-2 is broken :/ inline certificate issues

atomic yoke
#

Lemme try another one

#

Is EU-Regular-1 functioning?

bronze vale
#

Not sure

atomic yoke
#

Imma try each one then i guess 👀

bronze vale
#

That's all you can really do until then sorry :(

atomic yoke
#

Its fine no need to be sorry

#

Thanks for the answers

#

Just downloaded US-West-Regular-1 and it worked

bronze vale
#

Awesome!

#

eu-2 will still need to be fixed but thank you for making the admin team aware

#

The thank you is on my behalf although, I do not speak for them 😄

deep trellis
#

@deep trellis EU-Regular-2 is broken :/ inline certificate issues
@bronze vale I just tested regenning, it seems fine to me?

#

Oh so is there anything i can do?
@atomic yoke Whats your THM username? Let me see if I can investigate.

atomic yoke
#

its 'Bashert'

bronze vale
#

Skidy multiple people have complained of VPN issues today, I detailed it in #lounge whilst pining Ashu. Just thought I might bring awareness to it

#

Thank you though, and I apologise if there isn't any issues :p

deep trellis
#

Its okay, if there are any problems in the future, just ping me:)

bronze vale
#

Will do :)

deep trellis
#

its 'Bashert'
@atomic yoke EU-Reg-2 should work now:)

bronze vale
#

Thank you Skidy!

atomic yoke
#

Oh thanks man! Am used to that ip..... Appreciate it man

bronze vale
#

Is that Eu-Reg-2 or 1?

atomic yoke
#

2

bronze vale
#

@zealous yoke 😭

zealous yoke
#

Probably most likely that there's no certificate in the ovpn file like this

#

Or if there is it's formatted wrong

bronze vale
#

I think Skidy is fixing it but I don't know the protocol

zealous yoke
#

Nothing can do on our side of things really it's a server gen problem

bronze vale
#

Alright thanks :p I'll have to leave it

Hello, anyone could help me? I'm a newbie, and I could connect to the welcome room. In the second step I deployed a machine and took the flag. Now I'm trying to repeat the steps to connect at linux room in step 7, but I can't. Browser, returns me "Firefox can't connect".

@main kite You need to SSH into the machine

And sorry. My level is 0. Right now-

what am i doing wrong?

eager fulcrum
#

What machine?

#

Where did you get the IP for it?

orchid sphinx
#

from the "my machines" page

eager fulcrum
#

That's your attacking machine

#

Deploy the machine in the Learn Linux room, that's the machine you need to SSH into

#

When you deploy a machine in a room, typically those are your target machines

ooooooohhhhh okay. Thanks! i'll try again!

I'm having troubles with the upload vulns room

can't connect to the box

#

tried the vpn script but he gives an error

placid mango
#

Is vpn present in Downloads directory?

naive dust
#

yes

placid mango
#

Script somehow can't find that.

#

Try giving full directory like /home/user/Downloads/vpn.ovpn.

naive dust
#

that was it thank you it worked now

placid mango
#

You are running it as sudo so it went to root's home directory.

My vpn is working fine but I still can't connect to the box in the upload vulns room

Can you ping it?

nope

bronze vale

Can you show me your VPN imitation page please

#

Basically the terminal where you started your VPN

You have an issue called multivpn

Hello, i was doing the room Simple CTF and my streak was at 7, when i had to refresh the site it went to 1. I previously answer questions before and no time was showing such as " answer a question in # hours.."

Yes but you need to be in a room with the machine deployed for the ip to work

@wind thunder You can't use the attackbox or in-browser kali machine, that's a paid feature 🙂

#

this is teh welcone room btw

okay so I need teh VPN no matter what?

vernal ruin
#

!vpn

sharp bisonBOT
wind thunder
#

thanks a lot all

vernal ruin
#

You can only deploy the in-browser once I think without being subbed

#

Don't use that, if you ask me, just connect the vpn on your local machine

wind wedge
#

Yea it's only once I was an idiot when I was a free user and terminated it and tried redeploying it

wind thunder
vernal ruin
wind thunder
#

yes this works

placid mango
#

He's using attackbox ip.

vernal ruin
#

He's using attackbox ip.
@placid mango ah

placid mango
#

Use the room ip, the room you are doing.

wind thunder
#

Okay so that is what I understoo dfrom the guide..

vernal ruin
#

yes this works
@wind thunder Go to a room, deploy a vm, use that ip

#

Deploy the vm from here, you will get a ip in a while

wind thunder
vernal ruin
#

Navigate to that ip from you local machine, while staying connected to openvpn

naive dust
#

like my cursor is this pixelated mess

wind thunder
#

but guys, that's the url of the attacking machine, the one I have been trying since the beginning..

vernal ruin
#

Can't even see a cursor

#

but guys, that's the url of the attacking machine, the one I have been trying since the beginning..
@wind thunder Forget about the attackbox, rn you have nothing to do with it

wind thunder
#

i don't see any other info in the tuorial room

vernal ruin
#

Focus on the room, and the machine you deployed

#

i don't see any other info in the tuorial room
@wind thunder What is your main OS. Let's start from the beginning

wind thunder
#

osx

#

I'm connected to the vpn

vernal ruin
#

and you connected to openvpn on osx, right ?

naive dust
#

Cant show my cursor on screenshots lol

wind thunder
#

yes @vernal ruin

#

[Task 2] Deploy your first machine

vernal ruin
wind thunder
vernal ruin
#

All right, that works too

#

Ok, so have you clicked this deploy button ?

wind thunder
#

yes

vernal ruin
#

Do you have an IP then ?

wind thunder
vernal ruin
#

No, don't go to attack box man

#

I'm asking about the machine you deployed on the welcome room

#

Terminate that attack box, and deploy the machine on the welcome room

wind thunder
#

goddamnit it starting to make sence

#

give me a sec

vernal ruin
#

Also, you are navigating to your own ip, you can't do that anyway

wind thunder
#

it though it was something listening on local host

vernal ruin
#

Every room has it own vm, if it has one

wind thunder
#

okay that makes sense

#

i now indeed see another IP on top

vernal ruin
#

So, this is the same replica of the vm that's in the welcome room

wind thunder
#

and there I have the flag

vernal ruin
#

i now indeed see another IP on top
@wind thunder Yes that

#

and there I have the flag
@wind thunder Awesome, you got it now ?

wind thunder
#

thanks for making that clear

vernal ruin
#

No Worries

#

and being patient 😊

#

Ctrl + Shift + C / V works okay for me so failure at that, try a different browser? 😅

naive dust
#

Yeah i guess it is the browser

#

good suggestion thx

zealous yoke
#

Out of curiosity, what browser are you trying?

naive dust
#

Firefox, but modified

zealous yoke
#

...and how? Are you using it in a VM for example, in that case you've got three clipboards to be dealing with (:

naive dust
#

I think chromium works better

#

I am using the machine i can start through the website

zealous yoke
#

iirc chrome(imum) is the recommend aye

#

Sure (: I didn't know if you were say running a Host PC -> Browser on a VM -> THM Attackbox/Kali machine

naive dust
#

THM Kali, but I have all privacy settings enabled in Firefox so I think this is what causes the problems. Stupid of me to not think of that in the first place, morning here 😆

zealous yoke
#

Hehe no worries! Hopefully swapping out browser works okay for you

#

It's often the easy things to oversight that cause it...

trim crown
#

permission denied...is there a problem with their machine or am I doing something wrong

#

please help

naive dust
#

It's often the easy things to oversight that cause it...
@zealous yoke Yup, everything is working fine now!

#

what do i need to increase on my vm so that i can get alittle bit higher cracking speed when using hashcat?

#

vm and hashcat not a good combo

#

If you want a decent cracking speed you should install nvidia drivers and use your GPU for cracking (which is not viable on VM iirc)

#

Would this be the same for using gobuster? because it takes an incredibly long time to find anything

frosty hound
#

nah

wind wedge
#

Hashcat runs on a GPU so you're not able to use it inside of your VM you have to install it on your main machine

#

No gobuster is different

frosty hound
#

gobuster works fine in VM for me

naive dust
#

anyway to increase gobuster speeds?

wind wedge
#

Also this is related for THM support so it's best to move to #general for this

naive dust
#

ohh my bad, didnt know where to ask the question

zealous yoke
#

Ah wicked, glad to hear it - thanks for letting me know @naive dust 👍

#

Hashcat runs on a GPU so you're not able to use it inside of your VM you have to install it on your main machine
@wind wedge This is very true (not to disagree with you in the slightest) the THM attack machine can run hashcat fine as of recent updates I made to it (:

#

Just a note for anyone whose a sub and uses it ^

wind wedge
#

Ah nice

zealous yoke
#

No more having to use --force which is pikapika as I depend on that box ahahaa

#

granted it's still CPU ofc but

no true/false negative/positives

This machine is built to be as responsive as possible, containing all the necessary tools from Kali, but also other tools that you wouldn't find installed on Kali otherwise, including:

I don't understand

urban moth
#

how much time does it take to evaluate the room

eager fulcrum
#

Please remember the testers are volunteers. Testing is normally quite fast but it will take longer for your room to be scheduled and released.

okay, so im really new, and ive encountered this problem multiple times: when i typed in some kind of command, it switches to a > instead of "name@host" at the start of the line, and i am unable to enter any commands.... is there a solution to fix this?

toxic python
#

you have to show more, but most likely you opened a quote without closing it or something

wind wedge

It's probably because you put \ after it

#

I do it quite a bit and happens to me

You opened the Quotes

cedar loom
#

any way to close it?

shut oyster
#

just put "

ahh

#

thank you

okay, so im currently doing the linux tasks, and ive had trouble finding flag5 for a while, so i decided to watch a walktrough on how to find that flag, but on the walktrough he uses "find -iname "flag5.txt", but that gives no response for me

@cedar loom Which room is it? It's better if you put this in room-help, I guess.

cedar loom

oh, yeah, thought it was more command related than room related tbh

hi guys, not sure if this would be the right place to ask but i'm having some trouble with redare, i get the following Warning: r_bin_file_hash: file exceeds bin.hashlimit.....im working through the 25days of advent challenge day 21 and as i progress through i get all sorts of errors thown and then it aborts...im assuming its to do with this inital warning and i need to increase the bin.hash limit - done a duckduck search for the warning and can't seem to find posts relating to this specific error (some references but no solutions) any nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated as i feel im going round in circles 😄

eager fulcrum

But that's a warning so it shouldn't break anything

Hi, does anyone know how to downgrade metasploitable from version 6 to version 5 on a macOS?

toxic python
#

Get a Kali VM

true hollow
#

@toxic python I was considering it but I have the most basic Mac book pro with only 125 gig ssd. Kali has loads of bloatware installed as well

toxic python
#

ah, dang, thats a bummer

#

well you can remove metasploit completely then install msf5 from the github release

true hollow
#

Yeah, and with brew I can run pentesting tools with a macos

#

well you can remove metasploit completely then install msf5 from the github release
@toxic python I did that, but I couldn't find a msf5 there.

#

I only found version 6+

toxic python
#

I always suck at finding the releases on github so i cant help any more im afraid

#

hopefully someone else comes along to help you
