It's using tun interface

#

You will have a tun0

upper dune Nov 21, 2020, 9:23 AM

#

wait a sec

#

it just logged me in the ssh

#

i changed something else

#

one moment

#

the find worked

#

i changed mtu from 1500 to 1200

#

and removed the fragment 1300

vernal ruin Nov 21, 2020, 9:25 AM

#

Yes that works I think

upper dune Nov 21, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

lemme check it

#

it works

vernal ruin Nov 21, 2020, 9:27 AM

#

Awesome

upper dune Nov 21, 2020, 9:27 AM

#

im so confused

#

the command i did supposedly changed my mtu to 1200

vernal ruin Nov 21, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

So just to recap and help anyone with the same problem

#

What all steps did you take

upper dune Nov 21, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

ah i already have a big long message

#

one moment

#

So basically, i can ssh into any device that i own (phone for example) without the openvpn, but i cannot ssh into any of the THM machines, this is the problem that i was trying to fix
2nd, you have told me that old kali instances have a networking problem, therefore i needed to download a new one and hopefully it would work,
I go on to download the new kali disc, 2.2gb, then i notice once its at 1.5gb that it was for vmware not virtual box,
Had to cancel it and download the viritual box one 3.3gb
5 hours later (slow network)
The disc finished installing, i set it up, added root user instead of having to sudo and logged in as root;
now, openvpn doesn't want to work for some reason, it just freezes then does Restart sleep 5, so now, my problem is in openvpn not ssh'ing, i go on thm and try to fix this openvpn problem, i download the trouble shooter, it doesnt wanna execute, the reason being instead of typing chmod +x i did -x,I execute the troubleshooter
it says theres more than one instance open, it closes it and successfully connects me to THM's open vpn ( this process of trying to get troubleshooter to work was around 30m-1hr)
Now, ssh, its time! to see if it works!
i deploy the machine! open the openvpn, no pun intended, and type the magic command, ssh shiba1@ip
and then poof, nothing.
I go back to THM's discord,
We talk, they gave me many many solutions that took me around 1Hr again to try and do, but ive done most of them with no result
Then, someone, out of the blue, writes one line and posts one site,

umm is this that mtu bug?
i had this like in one of my ubuntu machines.
https://serverfault.com/questions/210408/cannot-ssh-debug1-expecting-ssh2-msg-kex-dh-gex-reply```

i open the site, theres two commands in it
the site says pick one command
I pick the first one, cuz apparently they both do same thing,
it doesnt work, invalid wlan0, i read a little more, it says change wlan0 if it doesnt work use iwconfig to find your name, i do the command

#

, i get eth0, i use eth0 instead of wlan0, something happened, i have no idea, i go back, try to ssh, and it works.

#

but then ssh kept frozing, so adding tun-mtu 1200 to the ovpn config and mssfix fixed it instead of running the site command

#

alright that should be the full recap

#

of what i did

#

to fix ovpn n ssh

vernal ruin Nov 21, 2020, 9:43 AM

#

but then ssh kept frozing, so adding tun-mtu 1200 to the ovpn config and mssfix fixed it instead of running the site command
@upper dune That is awesome

#

Glad it worked out and thanks for the recap

#

but then ssh kept frozing, so adding tun-mtu 1200 to the ovpn config and mssfix fixed it instead of running the site command
@upper dune Which mssfix method exactly?

upper dune Nov 21, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

basically i used the mtu fix

#

from the site

#

and that made ssh work

#

but freezing

#

but adding tun-mtu 1200 to ovpn worked isntead of tuning my mtu w the site command

#

the troubleshooter was the one to solve the mssfix

#

and it detected a background process to ovpn aswell that it closed on its own

#

and adding mssfix to the ovpn config file aswell for future reference

#

instead of having to use troubleshooter each time

vernal ruin Nov 21, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

All right that's fine

fading oriole Nov 21, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

Basically the difficulties are because of burp suite not working the right way

Open Browser is quite a new feature . Are you aware that you can use you own browser and set it up to work with burp if the in built browser is giving you issues

Using openvpn 2.5.0 but every couple of minutes it seems to reset the connection and drops everything I'm doing. Other days I've been better off and it seems to work for quite a while but today i'm just about logging into a box and starting to look around and I get booted off. It takes a minute or two to connect again after and then repeats. Log file seems to always show the following just as I get booted

Hello everyone, I just installed a fresh version of the latest kali linux 2020.4, and so far it's been working rather well with a few minor tweaks, but for some reason the TryHackMe machines do not want to open on my webbrowser... I am connected to the openvpn successfully, I can ping the addresses with responses... but in the browser (or even curl) ... just hangs forever.

#

Any idea what may be causing this?

#

Nevermind, figured it out... it was my mtu setting being too high, had to lower it down to 1250 - works like a charm now. Cheers all.

Hey guys I am using a Kali VM with openVPN and am having issues connecting via ssh to Common Linux Privesc. I can confirm the vpn is working as i have access to 10.10.10.10. I can ping the deployed server and can see ssh is on the default port via a portscan. When I try to connect via ssh is just takes a long time and looks like this:
└─$ ssh user3@10.10.141.212
Connection closed by 10.10.141.212 port 22

Weirdly enough, I can acess the machine in the browser and get the default ubuntu-apache page. Any suggestions?

Hello, as I have already said I have a problem with the OVPN file. When I try to connect via openvpn I get the following error text:

Also the cert section in the file is completely empty, unlike the hackthebox file. It looks like this: <cert> </cert>
If I regenerate the file or change the server location to eu1, this does not change anything.
I hope someone can help me. I have tested with the windows openvpn gui and the kali kinux terminal.

Hi all. Hope everyone is doing good. I was wondering if there is a way to open multiple vms via the browsee

#

Or do I need OpenVPN to be able to scan or access another vm from the platform?

eager fulcrum Nov 24, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

In order to communicate with a VM you've deployed on THM, you need to be on the network with them

#

The AttackBox/THM Kali is already on the network

#

The VPN puts you on that network, so you can use your own device.

#

The target VMs, you're not given access to

#

The In Browser Access is a feature of the attackbox, THM Kali, and a few other boxes that you're given access to.

#

The goal is to hack in to the target VMs most of the time

#

Or use credentials that you're given to connect, usually not using the browser.

deft zodiac Nov 24, 2020, 6:06 PM

zealous yoke Nov 24, 2020, 11:09 PM

#

You can if you kill the service that's already binding to it which is exposing VNC for the in-browser (:

#

So if you're using it purely through SSH that's an option, otherwise, afraid not

#

It looks like the credentials that the in-browser uses for that is expired/out-of-date. You'd have to use RDP/SSH for the time being whilst that gets updated @lyric junco. Pretty sure you've gotta provide the domain too (:

Hello, I am doing the Linux Privilege Escalation room. It says to send LinEnum.sh to the target machine by setting up a python server and using wget on the target machine. But whenever I try to use wget on the target machine it just hangs at connecting. Using this method works if I try it through my own terminal or by copying the ip into the web browser. It just does not seem to want to connect when I am trying it whilst SSH'd into the box. I was originally trying to use my local IP and upon watching a guide of someone doing this box on youtube, I saw that he used the internal virtual ip, I was hopeful that this was the issue but it still doesn't work. Any ideas

That's the wrong IP, you've only deployed the attack box

but if i do it from my own terminal/browser i will get "10.9.196.153 - - [26/Nov/2020 02:52:21] "GET /LinEnum.sh HTTP/1.1" 200 -

try reconnecting to the vpn and rebooting your machine?

static iron Nov 26, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

I did that last night when i had the same issue

#

I can proceed by just copy pasting the scripts contents over manually which is fine I guess

#

but would be nice to have this method working

#

and from a learning perspective, to understand why its not working

Only other suggestion I have is to try to wget in a different room or generating a new openvpn file or resetting your home internet

Silly question, but what if you were to just do something like "curl 10.9.196.153:8000/LinEnum.sh -o LinEnum.sh" @static iron

Ah, it's not just curl that's not working

I am not using the actual attack box, I am doing it through SSH on my OS

zealous yoke Nov 26, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

Ah if it doesn't work in another room then gotta be routing your side. How are you running the VPN on your device? I.e. in a virtual machine, or on the host itself (like Windows 10)

static iron Nov 26, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

I am using linux mint and running the command "sudo openvpn "filename"

#

then its open in a terminal

#

then im running python3 -m http.server 8000 in the directory where the file is

#

and ssh'ing into the box using user3@"boxip" and using the wget

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>

vernal ruin Nov 27, 2020, 1:26 PM

I don't think so. But changing your password would do that I guess

Here is the output:
apt-get install enum4linux

Can anyone help me?

eager fulcrum Nov 27, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

It's a perl script

enum4linux.pl

#

Use find or locate

Connect to the VPN.

Sorry, just asked in case I have to share the SS

You can post screenshots here.

Oh, wrong webpage ss sent, I've downloaded the OVPN btw

eager fulcrum Nov 27, 2020, 4:30 PM

The what?

#

Please try to be precise

naive dust Nov 27, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

I am saying that I've downloaded the VPN and need a .ovpn file to import

#

and the directory where the Read Me file is suggesting to, is empty

eager fulcrum Nov 27, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

That comes from the access page as the VPN room tells you

#

Did you skip the welcome room?

No?

eager fulcrum Nov 27, 2020, 4:34 PM

So you should have already connected to the VPN

No, I don't have any option

I think I found the problelm

Just finished the "Bounty Hacker" room with a bit of help from auntie Google.
Can someone walk me through why this command works?
sudo tar -cf /dev/null /dev/null --checkpoint=1 --checkpoint-action=exec=/bin/sh

Look at the tar manual pages. It’s built in to tar. Also please use the proper channel

Hi, I was just wondering is openvpn safe?

toxic python Nov 27, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

yes

#

for the purposes of THM and HTB and other ethical hacking sites, all it does is add a route to your IP table so you're able to get on to the private network of the site @proper moat

OpenVPN should be opened on my regular workspace, not the virtual machine. Correct?

eager fulcrum Nov 27, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

Nope

#

Run it in the VM

#

Otherwise you'll have trouble with reverse shells and stuff

#

Although it depends if you're talking about the target machines or attackbox or your own VM on your machine
