Hey there! I am having problems with the OpenVPN Connection to the tryhackme network. I set up my own kali machine and i can vpn into the network, but even tho im active doing stuff, after 5 minutes the vpn connection gets timeouted and reconnects, which is kinda annoying cause i have to re ssh into the machines awell. Takes some time until the machines are up again after reconnecting, any workaround for that?
@vernal ruin Could be so simple if one knew what to do. thanks alot !
nc: getnameinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution
somebody knows why?
just nc -lvp 8888
I am having some problems logging into the site, is anyone available to help?
im trying to make a pwd reset on my account but it's either not sending me a reset email, or im somehow not receiving it...
sounds kinda fishy I know...im just not sure what to do about it
@whole storm same happened with me... still waiting for a response
hey could anyone let me know what i've done wrong here? I'm doing the "Jeff" hacktivity box. I've added jeff.thm and wordpress.jeff.thm in my /etc/hosts
so far jeff.thm responds but wordpress.jeff.thm response with a 504 gateway timeout from nginx. here's a preview: https://gyazo.com/7902043abe07686ea7547fada9d67d73
any assistance would be really appreciated 🙂
Hello tech support, I tried doing my first machines today and as I wanted to go on the website of the machine it didnt load. It said waiting for <machine ip>. I am connected via OpenVPN and can ping and Nmap the machine. Your help is much appreciated 🙂
Can you specify a room please :)
Currently trying it at Pickle Rick and before that I have been trying it on Mr Robot
Try this please, if it doesn’t work ping me and I’ll provide either assistance
!vpnscript
@brisk ivy Have you tried a terminate and redeploy?
yeah about 3 times now
Huh, ok
Nope nothing is running
Jabba if you can help that'd be great
Mhm I'm on it!
thank you!
Would you be able to re-post the issue 😄

that?
i can record doing it on my thm vm, my kali and my windows if that helps
yeah so i have it running on my windows and my vm is directly connected to it.
Can you terminate the windows openvpn and run it directly on the vm please
yep 1 sec
okay so i've managed to get up to wp-admin and plugins section, which is where i left off first time i did it and now it's about to timeout again https://gyazo.com/0a7782c51e8a53bc3af970ddabb9d7da
would it have to do with the php shell payload i'm executing?
So it was working then suddenly timed out?
yeah exactly
it gives you like a fair minute before it dies
so yeah idk if it's something wrong i've misconfigured orr? 😂
any ideas?
Sorry I’m being asked a lot of questions 😄
A time out is 90% if the time a vpn issue
Are you only running the VPN on your vm and nowhere else?
504 is serverside
Is it oof
yeah that's what i was gonna say, is it the box's issue?
Yeah, if it's a reverse proxy then the end webserver is ded
It shouldn't be a box issue
but how come?
jeff.thm works
yet wordpress.jeff.thm doesnt
they point to the same address
and it briefly works then it just stops :/
Yeah. Same address
But it might be different VHOSTs
Which you can map to different webservers via reverse proxy
so what do you suggest i can do to fix it? haha
No clue tbh
oh alright then, have you done this box before?
fixed it, you just can't edit the plugins php or enable the plugins else the whole wordpress subdomain wont respond ever again lol
so im just gonna run the shell on a theme file instead
thank you!!
thank you too!
Guys, can't connect to OPENVPN for some reason. Getting an error along the lines of "disabling NCP mode". Any idea how to fix?
Screenshot please
Oh never mind, solved it now. Downloaded a new conf file from another VPN server. Ty!
Hey guys! Completely new to this stuff, I just started the Introductory Researching path and when I deploy my machine I am noticing quite a bit of lag.. is this normal?
is something wrong with eu-regular-2? giving me an empty opvn file even after regenerating a few times and waiting way more than 10 seconds
@deep trellis multiple people have been complaining of Eu 2
Is it something on your end?
Is it something on your end?
@bronze vale It should be okay now, thanks for pinging me.
Thank you :)
Regenerate if jt still doesn’t work, change server
well got the ovpn but giving errors
@dense harness Whats your THM username?
onurshin
Thank you :)
@bronze vale Thanks for letting me know:)
onurshin
@dense harness Should work now:)
@deep trellis yup thanks
Hi guys. mrrobot ctf machine stops pinging from time to time, is it by design or its my crappy internet to blame? btw 500+ping
Hi guys. mrrobot ctf machine stops pinging from time to time, is it by design or its my crappy internet to blame? btw 500+ping
Over the next week you'll see a huge performance increase in our OpenVPN servers, for now please try using the AttackBox or another VPN server.
that’s pretty common with all rooms
It’s not supposed to happen but it’s does, doesn’t really affect anything
I disconnectd (lost Internet), is it possible to reuse my free daily VM?
I think you may get an hour total? If not, it’s pretty late in the day and skidy is probably already out for the night so I’d say you’re just going to have to wait for the next day
Why does tryhackme still think I am connected
Okay nvm, for some reason it took minutes before showing it was disconnected
so I havent heard back from anyone about a problem with password reset for my account, what do I do here?
@whole storm how long has it been? If it has been longer than a week I would recommend writing a follow up email
@sharp bear Its just a thing of today. But being locked out for a week sounds terrible. Is there really noone I can talk to about this? @dreamy portal mentioned he has the same problem so it seems like something on your end that should be looked at?
@deep trellis I know youre online right now. Might this be a problem with the login captcha you had to implement?
so I havent heard back from anyone about a problem with password reset for my account, what do I do here?
@whole storm Hey, password resets have not been changed, so there shouldn't be an issue.
If you DM me your email, I'll follow up now whilst I have some time:)
Hello. Are the severs currently experiencing trouble? I booted up a vnc for the first time in a while and there is a lot of delay
not to my knowledge? have you tried a terminate and redeploy or refresh your page
Who do I speak with about account issues on tryhackme.com?
Support Email at support@tryhackme.com
If it's something we can help with, try stating the issue as support can take some time to reply
I have two accounts. If possible I'd like to merge them into one account to keep my paid subscription. If it's not possible I'd like to keep the newer account, deleting the older one.
I can email this to the support email.
I don't think you can "merge" accounts like this. For deleting the account, you can email support from the same email the account it made with. You can be asked to prove that the account belongs to you
Gotcha. Thank you.
If you don't hear from support within a week, kindly follow up. Some Emails can sometimes slip through 🙂
Email sent. I'll keep watch. I appreciate the assist. 😄

Ask Google. Also, wrong channel.
Hey I want to ask, when I join room; "Sudo Security Bypass" then deploy machine, get IP adress, then how am I gona use ssh to login on that computer ?
ok i scroll down and see rest of information needed for it
Anyone with problems on room Attacktive Directory?
When I try to user Kerbrute to enumerate the users I don't get any return from the script
I think this occurred before
thm-troubleshoot works fine
somebody had the same issue?
this is the second day I try, still same thing. No VPN on, machine restarted, script is okay
I had issues on that one as well @manic sinew . Windows smh
Several machines have bugs like this, overall I can't say I'm very satisfied with THM platform. Many times I don't know if I am doing something wrong or is just THM.
@outer kestrel what did you do then?
I found another unusual way to solve this, windows can sometimes be a pain. Hack your way in lol
we all start not knowing what to do, try all you can, read writeups, repeat the steps. that's all the magic. you'll figure it out with some experience
hey guys not sure if its just me but the room jeff's crontab seems to stop working after a while of having the vm alive:
i constantly have to reset it
not sure if it's suppose to be a part of the box or if its an issue?
Can you please tell me that how can I connect my internal laptop wifi adapter to my kali linux virtual box?
Thnx
And make sure to google first
I didnt find anything on google
hey jabba, do you think have an idea of what the problem is? anything would be really helpful 🙂
Depends, what time does the cron have
1 min
Have you tried getting a shell via cron then running another revshell on that user so if it gets closed you still have a connection
yeah so thats what i'm trying to do, I've got a php revshell on the wordpress site and i have access as the user www-data, i've uploaded my reverse shell as rev.sh as well as the cron checkpoint and execution file, both of which are empty files (see image). so far i get temporary responses, which means i gotta be quick but-- now i'm facing another problem which is netcat, the revshell sends a request but netcat just denies it? I'm really confused, it worked with my current shell but not this one..
the netcat attempt^
Try a metasploit listener?
oh 1 sec lemme try that, thank you
hey jabba, same thing :/
i've tried 2 different reverse shells, 1 generated by msfvenom and one i found on github, both didnt work :/
hi?
how can i verified?
DM TryHackMe bot with !verify *yourdiscordtoken*
thank u 🙂

hey does anyone know anything about steganography
google seems to be very limited on what im looking for but im not sure if im looking in the right places

How to resolve the issue "failed to load debconf preconfiguration file" while installing Kali Linux in VMware?
Hi. Is there an annual subscription for THM? Thank you.
Support, How do I reset a room to start again?
@bright bluff Terminate it and then deploy it again
Do you mean, leave the room?
@bright bluff if you mean remove the answers you have to ask either muirland or the room creator
hi can i change my username pls
You want to reset the room and not the machine?
Hi. Is there an annual subscription for THM? Thank you.
@lilac berry I believe you can select the number of months when you subscribe?
Correct, reset the room and delete the answers.
@bright bluff you have to ask either muirland or the room creator
@toxic python
hi can i change my username pls
@brazen spade e-mail support@tryhackme.com
no 😠
@toxic python Who is muirland? Like a DM? The room creator is tryhackme.
@barren birch sorry for the sleeping ping hopefully I didn’t wake you 
@bright bluff If he doesn’t answer that when he wakes ip tomorrow then ping him again tomorrow
OK, thanks.
Very advance system, awesome job with the rooms/paths, and no button to reset? 😏
Hello , if i wish to share my fninshed room in linkdin , how can i do that? there is no such button , except only when you finished the room (but only this spesifc one tine it shows)
In one room i try to run showmount cmd like showmount -e <ip>
but it will show some error as clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered
I check online for solution but unable to fix this
can someone help me out? Thanks in advance
I am using kali 2020 & both my rpcbind as well as nfs-server is active
@naive dust wrong channel. Ask in #general or #infosec-general.
In one room i try to run showmount cmd like showmount -e <ip>
@whole basalt Ask in #room-help with Room name and attach some screenshots of errors.
This channel is for vpn and tech questions related to thm. Hence, I said come to #room-help. 🙂
ok
What might be your reason for doing the same ? Sounds suspicious 
Also, wrong channel anyways
Hi,
I hope this is the right room for account/payment related stuff. So basically i cannot login to my account, it seems it doesn't exist anymore(I cannot request a password reset email, i was able to register a new account with the same email address which is very odd for me), anyway the biggest issue is I'm getting charged for my subscribtion even edited
though I'm not able to use my account. I did write to THM support like 2 months ago but the only reply I've got is use the password reset....:') Is it possible to unsubscribe somehow?
Thankss
Hi there,
Still no answer, should I write another email? I've been waiting for a reply for 2months now and paying subscription for nothing... It's a bit annoying:(
Yes @dreamy portal Follow up with another email
Some Emails can sometimes slip though
Can someone help me ? When i try to showmount -e a box its says: clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered Is there a problem on my box or on the target box ? (I have both nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server are active)
@median frigate Please ask in one channel and then wait for an answer, rather than asking the same thing across a bunch of channels.
@eager fulcrum my B
I suggested some troubleshooting steps in #infosec-general

@hollow vessel anyone?
Hello, I want subscribe in TryHackMe right now. I had a question, how should I prove that I am a student to pay € 8?
Use your student email
Oh okay, thank you.
hey, what payload am i supposed to use when exploiting the machine from the Blue room?
I just updated my email with my student email. I paid for sub, but it took 10$. Why not 8?
!docs verify
@zenith kiln follow this ^^
@wind wedge so, I need to contact support and give my student email and THM name? but what is THM name? I didn't understand it
Your TryHackMe username
Oh okay ty bro
Hey, i noticed when using thm's VPN through a VM the deployment of most pages are very slow. While when i use my windows its faster. Would love to know how i can increase the speed in my Kali VM.
The VPN does not redirect your traffic
It’s really difficult to notice if it’s slow while completing a room because it’s most likely not the VPN
Increasing the speed of a VM would involve giving it more resources
Each VPN server has its own speed though. I downloaded the latest openvpn and when connecting to a server it shows the speed.
the slowness is not in the thm site itself. Its in the deployment of a room
idk if you understood what i mean 😅
It could just be from my geo- location
hey guys - I'm trying to work on the Jack box and it's really intermittent - seems like the box goes up and down constantly. Is this something to do with my VPN connection or is that normal that the box is intermittently down. It's like it comes up for 3-4 minutes and then back down for a couple minutes. ?
!vpnscript
yup ran the script and apparently had duplicated connections
we can help you here
doing jack as well right now, no issues on my end
what can we help you with today?
the openvpn-troubleshooting script fixed my problem
jack loads fine now
I apparently had multiple vpn connections running - script worked like a charm and killed the other connection
doing jack as well right now, no issues on my end
@outer kestrel just a reminder that outside of KoTH and throwback, you don't share machines
thanks
you're welcome
rockyou?
If you want help with errors, you need to share them with us
We can't help you if we can't work out what's going wrong, we need the information
That command seems to be lacking some parameters?
Could you show us police
police?
Please* sorry I'm really tired lmfao
wut
it is running now
Don't run in a vm then
it's an OK machine it's running on with 24cores/48threads
24 cores?
xeon
You do realise hashcat uses gpu
Unless you're doing GPU passthru, it won't mean much
That's because you are using a VM
nvm seems what i got aren't hashes
wrong cp
wow... did the wrong file :X
well thanks for the help named the files opposite :P
and thanks for the online tip
Something like crackstation
Much much better than wasting power cracking them yourself
yeah 1st time i've done anything like this
Hi! I just registered and I need to get my openvpn config file. When I click on "download my configuration file" I'm getting a 404 error page. Any idea? 😦
switch servers, wait 30 seconds try again
it works, thanks! How do I get the student discount? I tried updating my email address but it still says 10$/month
!docs student
thanks
Hi there! Today, I completed my 30 days hacking spree, however the 1 Month Streak Badge has not been issued to me yet. Can you look into it?
Hello, I completed the primer series learning path but it shows 99%. Is this normal ?
Are you sure you've answered every single question in every single room? They might have been updated.
Yes I'm 100% on every room in the learning path
It's most likely the PS Empire room
hi, new on the channel, I'm working on the linux challenges and somehow the machine seems to freeze every 2 minutes or so, are you experiencing any issues at the moment?
Could you explain more? What happens when it freezes? What are you doing?
I'm ssh'ing into the box to do the challenges but there's a few different things I'm seeing:
1- sometimes the ssh command doesn't respond so I tried to ping the IP address and it times out for 20 seconds before getting a reply
2- when I'm in the machine after a couple minutes the cli stops responding and just freezes to whatever it was
!vpnscript
yup apparently more than one connection was running
I'll see if that solves it
thanks for the super rapid help
:)
Hey is there something going on with the VPN server? My connection keeps going away and it says that it is trying to reconnect.
Screenshot?
it says initialized but then it tries to reconnect. I thought it was my internet at first but everything is working fine on my end
no worries, I am connected again but it will disconnect and try to reconnect. It has been doing this for the past 30 minutes or so
@vapid dawn could you provide some assistance please
yeah just make sure you don't have connections running
you can always regenerate your file and try connect again
Thank you Ashu
@vapid dawn ahh ok it seems that it is working fine now but if it happens again I will re-generate my file
is something supposed to happen after you finish a path? or just leave it and start another one if you want?
nothing happens after you finish a path unfortunately, you just leave it
I've got an issue where I recently completed the Tartarus box, but it doesn't show up on my completed boxes and it didn't update my streak so I lost it 🙃
Not sure who to talk to about this issue
Looks like that room is no longer public right now, I don't see it either @solid citrus
Hi guys. I've been having issues with deployed VMs in different rooms. After I deploy a VM and wait 3-4 minutes, the VM either is still unreachable (via ping and browser etc) or it becomes available for a little bit and then becomes unreachable again. Has anybody experienced this?
Thanks @vernal ruin , I didn't know about that script. I'll give it a go and come back once I know more!
Just ran it and I saw that apparently there were more than one connections running. I'm thinking this is probably because I don't shut down my Kali VM, but save its state, and then when I start using it again, i re-start the OpenVPN, but the previous process might still be running in the background.
!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>
If this happens again
Just do this ^
But something you can do is type ip a s tun0 when you logon
If it isn’t on it would say that the device isn’t found iirc
Good stuff! Thank you @bronze vale
:)
Hello , Im Subscribed User and im having this vnc Problem 😦
i tried another browser but no luck , unfortunately
You using attackbox machine?
I'm not sure can you try this?
- Terminate the attack box
- Load one of the Kali VMs and terminate it once it has loaded,
- Boot the attack box up again.
If this still doesn't work try switching server.
If this still doesn't work try switching server.
@placid mango That's a VPN thing not an attackbox thing.
- opened attack machine in browser
- getting this error
i've used the browser since day one without problem ,
but now its not working.
i've restarted the whole pc again , cleared the cache ,
restarted the attack box .
same Problem.
error from Chrome network debugging : Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CERT_INVALID
can i vnc using the vpn without using the browser ?
i mean using an vnc app on my pc , with an vpn connection .
You're a subscriber so you should be able to use the public IP
Either RDP or VNC, not 100% what's running
How to change username
Email to support@tryhackme.com.
They don't respond, how can I delete my account
There's like only 2 people handling mails so you have to be patient.
You can also reset your room progress by asking room creators of those room.
I just need new account
Then create one.
Ok I think it's good option to just delete it and create new one
@naive dust same process, you have to email
@naive dust same process, you have to email
@NinjaJc01#7746 I have to use the same email?
Same address
On the email I have to provide credentials?
Ohk thanks providing my new username would be enough?
Hello, I have a problem copy/pasting things from my web browser machine, "CRTL-SHIFT-C" doesn't do the trick.
Make sure it has permission to access your clipboard
I checked the browser settings and it allows the site to have access to the clipboard
I can copy/paste when I connect with RDP to public IP or over VPN but that machine is so slow ... any possibility to make that faster?
What machine
"My attack machine" from my profile
The attack box?
yes
Hello i have a problem i am begineer and i wanted to do ssh on my ubuntu machine but when i went to the open vpn page as the youtube tutorial suggest i cannot do that .. the page shows this error . After i clicked on Download
yes the machine itself ... I have a very performant internet connection so that should not be the problem
Hello i have a problem i am begineer and i wanted to do ssh on my ubuntu machine but when i went to the open vpn page as the youtube tutorial suggest i cannot do that .. the page shows this error . After i clicked on Download
@grim sluice press regenerate, wait 30s then download
yes the machine itself ... I have a very performant internet connection so that should not be the problem
@harsh marten Have you used the in browser feature to make sure it is the machine
yes, and inside the browser it works perfectly
So then it’s clearly not the machine
@bronze vale That didn't worked out
Wait i got one
the file is now downloaded thanks
Why is this problem occuring now? on the right terminal?
@bronze vale but if it was my connection, it should be slow inside the browser too I guess?
@grim sluice 10.10.10.10 is an example IP address as the thing tells you
oh wait
You need to terminate the VM from the welcome room
and how to do that?
Click the button that says terminate in the Welcome room
And go to the learn linux room
And click the deploy button in that room
Okay
Deploy or startAttackBox ? @eager fulcrum
I did Deploy and i think it's working now I guess maybe... thanks btw
Attackbox is attackbox
and what is attackbox?
A box. To use to attack from.
Instead of using your own and VPN
I'm sure this is explained in the welcome room
Yeah you need to use the IP of the machine that you deployed in the Learn Linux room
VMs or downloads are attached to tasks. Tasks are attached to rooms. The VMs are seperate between rooms.
That's still the welcome room
Terminate that VM.
Go to the Learn Linux room, click deploy
Ok i went to the linux room (and i have closed all the other deployments) so i have to wait 1 minute right?
It will show the IP after a minute
Happy hacking!
@grim sluice Please don't post spoilers like that
Hey, what is the best way to get a word list transferred from a room to the kali browser box?
I downloaded the list to my local machine, but can't get an FTP connection to the kali browser box
In order to transfer it I believe you need to connect to the VPN
(if it's the free one, you definitely do)
If you're a sub, you can just use a browser to download it
The browser seems to lose its mind when I login to tryhackme on the browser box. I'll give it a shot
how to remove token on dicsord account
You don't have one attached RN
i have one attached i need to attach new one
You do not have one attached to that discord account.
You do not have the verified role.
I think he meant his other discord account.
i want to attach my new try hackme account on my old discord account that is attached to old tryhackme account
Please log in to that discord account and message here
i have one discord account this one,
Which doesn't have the verified role.
@spare blaze Does the bot add roles back if someone rejoins?
it is verified
i have one discord account this one,
@naive dust it is verified to my old tryhackme account
Sorry, you already have a token on this account.
i get this message when i try to verify
Get the other ID that is verified and ask here to get the token removed from that ID. Then you can verify this one
!docs verify
tks
@desert musk @crimson locust if you havn't changed your discord account, yes, it will readd the roles. If you have changed the discord account, you need to reverify and a mod needs to revoke your old account.
Welp they left the server
hmm
when i try to subscribe it gives me message "Uh-oh! Your card was declined." does anyone know why is that?
@slim crypt Contact your bank
@spare blaze did you mean Ninja James?
Often the word "hack" can trigger stuff
@slim crypt Contact your bank
@eager fulcrum but i subscribed with the same card on hackthebox and it worked fine
aight ill try thanks

yes thats why im here
@eternal bay Are you using WSL?
I've been experiencing a lot of issues with the VPN. Been alright all day until now. Timeouts/disconnects etc. 2 days ago i was on VIP1 and already switched to VIP2 but now the same problems occur.
hello where can I ask questions about hacking(legal) which isnt on tryhackme
I've spent so long trying to find other things to do privesc and knew it was that, i've now got root, you are the man
Hi again,something is wrong with the vpn file or something idk. It gives me a fatal error when I try running it. Id it something from my machine or the file?
Screenshots please
We can't help if we don't know what you're doing or what's happening
ERROR: Cannot ioctl TUNSETIFF tun: Operation not permitted (errno=1)
oh screenshot...wait!
I tried it said it might cache my password
No, it doesn't
It says it might cache passwords in memory, but that's for authenticating to the VPN and doesn't matter here.

Hey guys, just joined. Is this the place to ask for some help connecting to the deployed machine?
I'm away from my machine atm, doing my crap job I wanna get out of.
So, I've got kali. Linux going. I have connected to the thm open vpn but, when I'm trying to ping the deployed machine, it won't ping it. I managed to work out how to nmap it, I think it was port 53 was the only one that came up, but it was closed?
Also running expresavpn in Windows and kali on vmware
!vpnscript
@sharp bison thanks, I saw that last night but I was half asleep at that point. I'll give it a go tonight. I assume I néed to register with github?
hi
are the machines down?
offline
im not able to nmap t
note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 3.03 seconds
it has been 5 min
maybe you need to reinitialise the machine?
when you first start it you get 1 hour
maybe it expired
i started like 5 min ago
i have no idea then 😅
Hi, I can't download VPN configuration file, all download links on /access page return 404 not found?
Regenerate, wait 30s, download
If that doesn’t work, switch VPN servers
If that doesn’t work, log out and back in
@vivid crest
@bronze vale I tried all those many times without success, now tried once more switching the server and it worked. Thanks
just wondering, its ok for me to connect with openvpn from my host os?
or should i rather do it from guest os?
@obtuse juniper It needs to be from the guest OS otherwise you will have issues with port forwarding/NAT/reverse shells
You can get it working but it's not fun to do
[-] Post failed: Rex::Post::Meterpreter::RequestError stdapi_sys_process_execute: Operation failed: The system cannot find the file specified.
My msfconsole return me this error when i try to upgrade a shell to meterpreter
Someone knows how to fix it?
Which room @naive dust
Blue
You can't convert a meterpreter shell to a meterpreter shell
If you use sessions -i [session number] you will see that you have a meterpreter> prompt
That means the session is already a meterpreter shell
Oh so it is already a meterpreter
Yup!
But the task 3 of blue tells me to upgrade, the msf already upgraded it for me?
I was in a session on ice and it just times out (machine timer still running) my connection is fine both intrnt and ovpn
Was it after an hour?
When did you extend it?
before running eventvwr so its no crash
Terminate, deploy again
Will do😋.Thanks again 🙌 .

is there a way to pull cookies that belong to a different site with JS?
VPN and other technical questions related to TryHackMe
Hello There, I was trying to verify my level now but I have no answer from the Bot. Do you guys experience issue?
Hey! Is there anyway to get VIP subscription voucher by PayPal?
I recommend that you don't edit the config file yourself.
i did not do anything
@rare jewel #room-hints you said that you edited it.
yes and remove it and install it again
Are you in Egypt?
I miss Egypt
Your government blocks OpenVPN. @rare jewel
why hackthebox work then??
Because they have TCP or UDP enabled, whichever THM doesn't
i dont understand
Your government blocks the traffic that is required for THM's openvpn.
ohh
It will not work.
thats not good
can he use proxychains?
what can i do
You can use the attack box, or work out a way of getting around it.
I recommend against bypassing government restrictions.
@rare jewel vpn
The legality is often dubious.
some govt does it to hush people which sucks
i think getting subscription is the best way as it comes with kali machine
i have no money
Hi there,
Still no answer, should I write another email? I've been waiting for a reply for 2months now and paying subscription for nothing... It's a bit annoying:(
Hi there, again...
I've been charged again with my subscribtion even though I'm still not able use my account. No replies from the support team. I should say byebye for my monthly 10$ payments and just pay for nothing? It's getting frustrating....
@deep trellis
Is it possible to ssh into the attack machine?
Should be.
ay when i dm the bot my token it dont reply back and change my level please helpppppp
Wut
when i try to update my role by doing the verify thing to the bot it doesn't reply with your role has been updated
i tried leaving and rejoining and how it dont even say im verify
!verify []
i know
The bot updates automatically I don’t know what to do now that you’ve left and rejoined 🤷♂️
Just make sure you have DMs enabled and Havent blocked the bot
sorry if this is the wrong channel, but where do i find my 5% code for the swag shop once i hit 45 days?
Skidy has to give it to you
Email support@tryhackme.com for now, if I find out any more info ill ping you
wait where even is the shop
@naive dust shop.tryhackme.com
Maybe store then instead of shop
am I able to use a vpn that isn't throught thm
@junior haven No, because you need to connect to the TryHackMe network
ok thanks

@dreamy portal Hi there, can you DM me your email, I can't see any unanswered tickets regarding this issue.
@dreamy portal Hi there, can you DM me your email, I can't see any unanswered tickets regarding this issue.
@deep trellis DMd you
How do i update my msf to version 6?
Hm.. Ok
@deep trellis DMd you
@dreamy portal I have not received anything from you?
I mean 6 is from my understanding getting more stable but I would still stick with 5 for now most users will not use 1/16 of the new features with 6
Anyone knows why my vmware freezes when I transfer files from host to the VM? The file is just base64 encoded 50 times
This is the wrong channel
This channel is for VPN and other technical issues directly related to TryHackMe
Use #general or #infosec-general instead ;)
ok
Is it just me or are the windows machines slow af?
just did Anthem one and had to restart it to get rdp to work and webpages were really slow to load.
Windows usually requires a tonne of RAM @upper gulch (which is why Linux boxes are more common)
Most Windows boxes are "bumped" -- i.e. they have more RAM than the default, which is why they're often sub only
Anthem should be faster than that, although IIRC there have been issues with the bump in that one
i c thought it felt worse compared to blue/ice
to reset my joined rooms i have to send email to tryhackme?
they are 19
oooooooof
n0id3a
Muirland are you feeling fine ;-;
yes if you can but i dont think it necessary about the rooms that saw how to use tryhackme
but do what it is easier
It's all manual, so I'll just do the ones with content in them
@brittle kiln Wanna check that's done for me?
everything is fine thank you
muirs a mad man
hmm... :(
Ah, guess timezone stuff then, thought it was back )
;)
I have the same thing, just happened while doing a room
Site is down, will be up soon
Yeah, finished that networksomething, wanted to upvote and 'poof' :)
Jabba, please remind me to deactivate slowmode in here too...
You got it
I'll leave this here
For anyone coming to ask if the site is down, it is, it's deliberate. Check #announcements
Never checked that channel until now :P
When will the error be resolved presumably?
Again, check #announcements
It's scheduled maintenance. Should be back in 10 minutes or so
thanx for information 🙂
Is the site down right now????
Error 502
oh sorry

it looks like it @cold idol
@cold idol
Bad Gateway when accessing tryhackme

Using VPN solved my forever room loading issue but CSS Issue is still there.
KOTH public isnt work, it said "EXPIRED", when i try to enter another public game again it throws me in the same room

WebShooter you cannot speak for the general users
I tried chrome and worked fine
It's working fine in firefox here
I've tried in chrome still there s problem

VPN solved the issue. Specific region is having this issue?

@deep trellis Load balancer go brr?
Wait.

I've tagged Skidy, there's not much more you can do except wait
Have you all tried pressing CTRL+F5
@bronze vale Yeah, hard reload, cleared cache and cookie...so on

Everyone who is suffering issues, Skidy has been pinged, there is nothing we can do for now. Please be patient.

Thanks!!

@solemn kernel no
Ok, that's not down. The site is up. You need to be patient, Skidy has been made aware.
i am about to lose my streak 😦
i am about to lose my streak 😦
Yeah can anything be done about that, if we loose the streak?
i am about to lose my streak 😦
@solemn kernel me too
you guys also facing some issues?
Yeah, but they are taking care of it
you guys also facing some issues?
@solemn kernel As I have said, skidy has been made aware. You just have to be patient
im patient mate, i am just worried about my streak :p
does thm provide api, i kinda want to test a bot i want to build
@pliant cargo Not a publicly documented one. There's Szymex's python wrapper for it.
@eager fulcrum maybe you can pin that message?
ok thanks
@eager fulcrum
Hmm, any issues with the vpn? I keep getting : [server] inactivity timeout ( --ping-restart), restarting
vpn working fine for me
I know the issue and am working on fixing it.

@solemn kernel Can you please clear your cache and try now?
I've tried in chrome still there s problem
@cunning echo Mind trying again?
@thorn yew
Apologies, it should be okay for you now.
@deep trellis Still the same issue, css is fine now, though the rooms aren't loading
Same issue here
I know the issue and am working on fixing it.
same for me
lmao
Has anyone experienced some roll back of their progress?
@stoic sable what ??
same for me
@pliant cargo Try again?
css is fixed but the loading still persist
I got into rooms with both chrome and firefox
fixed for me

Finally, Thank you!
Great, sorry about that guys. Thanks for reporting Ninja & you all, wouldn't have know otherwise.
@pliant cargo I completed the comptia pentester pathway at lunchtime before the server take down. Then after the server came up, I no longer had!?
^ No data was effected during the change or rollback. So your progress would have been fine?
actually
the progress is affected a little bit
i know i answered a few flags in the room i am currently in but they are unanswered now
Well I received my discount code, and my “well done” alert. Now I still have some work to do to complete afain
Great, sorry about that guys. Thanks for reporting Ninja & you all, wouldn't have know otherwise.
@deep trellis Lol no need to apologise mate, it happens😄
What matters id you guys actually looked into it
i might have answered them just after you took the server down and those didn't get registered as answered maybe a reason
Happy to run it again, but thought it should be highlighted
Weird, I'll look into why that was. Whats your THM username?
mikeybendz
i might have answered them just after you took the server down and those didn't get registered as answered maybe a reason
Oh yeah, this might have been why.
But I'll check nevertheless:)
its working fine now, thanks
Just wondering, wouldn't it be nice if the 'upvote' was more 'clear' ? I thought it was a way to move between rooms at first..
Just wondering, wouldn't it be nice if the 'upvote' was more 'clear' ? I thought it was a way to move between rooms at first..
I'll look into making them thumbs up/down, but as Jabba said, there is a website form to post your ideas (shown on the channel)
umm.. heyya.. i am having some issues while playing king of the hill
anyone?
please?
What issue?
like
i started the koth
i mean
sceduled it for 15 minutes
and soon after the 15 minutes was over
the machine expired
Do you have a game id?
yea
its like
expired when it was supposed to start
idk what to do
we have people wating here
anyone
Yes?
here you go
That’s a join link
Ok that's a join link not an id
ouch
?
There we gob
That’s odd
I mean it’s a private match so doesn’t affect much I would just leave it and create a new match
yea
i tried that 4 times
and we are getting expired
sooo.. is it an issue with tryhackme server?
@deep trellis ^
sooo.. is it an issue with tryhackme server?
@naive dust The roll back effected KoTH too - weird. It should be fixed, please start a new game and I will reduce the wait timer.
Actually it looks like your game is running without a machine
@naive dust Hey, mind trying the pathway now?
Thanks
Can you show me the developer console?
Press F12, click the "console" tab
Great thanks, it should now be fixed.
Thanks
I am currently doing a room where introduces "Jhon the Ripper" but I can't seem to install it
sudo apt install john does "nothing"
Did you remove it somehow?
thx
It's in sbin, Kali doesn't add that to path for the regular user
the blue room is kinda buggy right?
Nope.
weird, the exploit doesnt work so i ditched it back then, worked the first time then i tried it again and it never worked
It works fine if your settings are correct and you have a working install of metasploit.
ill give it a try now after i get this parrot os installed
Parrot ships with broken metasploit.
do i need to upgrade it or something?
Metasploit 6 is unstable and broken. Parrot ships with metasploit 6. You need version 5.
so i actually need to downgrade
hello guys
or just download another msf5 version
okay that explains a lot, I think i had msf6 on my other fresh install linux
Kali ships with 5 which works.
guys i need a help with something
iam trying to lunch a machine but each time the timer get to 0 it get rest
@humble panther 
can anyone help me whats wrong with the verification?
It's being fixed.
Anyone here uses guake? If so, any idea why I am not able to use shortcuts to interact with the window? Does not matter what i set hide/show keybind to.
Reason for the use. Is i like the whole idea of poor mans pentest by john hammond.
I am not able to putty into the vm with the address given
That's quite vague. Can you provide some more information please?
