thanks - yeah after 10 minutes I was able to login
sry for the incovenience tho, and thanks for the response π
if you're a subscriber, it will boot much faster
How do you finish the learning path? I cant get past 85
You need to finish all the tasks in all of the rooms in the path
Ok I'm pretty sure that's being looked in to
Ight
Hi all more connection issues with throwback π¦
@vapid dawn Hi if you're about there's a few people having issues with Throwback rn
traceroute to 10.200.7.138 (10.200.7.138), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

thanks Ashu β€οΈ
you might also have to reset that network/start it (if it's turned off)
u are not alone.I have this problem tooπ
@naive dust - I am having the same issue - I also noticed a "k" at the top of the page
it shows up in the source code as well
doubt it is related
but I am able to find the rooms and access them if I go to the Learn --> All Rooms area
The rooms that are in the learning path are public, you should be able to see them and join them (unless they are sub only) by searching for them
@civic lodge - I can confirm that it does work if you search and join
I still have the same issue all my other Vm are closed and i spun up an attack box from thm and connected to vpn from there still not reaching anything
is it possible to do the same fix that as been done for tanktrack ? the subnet of my network is 100.200.22.0/24
i noticed the K too
@eager fulcrum i was finally able to have acces , i had to vote twice for a network reset , after that all was good , wasn't a client-side issue but seems the throback network was broken !
Hi everyone. New user here, I just started using the site over the weekend. Returning this afternoon to work on the "getting started" part of the offensive pentesting path at https://tryhackme.com/paths , but under Rooms I just have 5 lines that say "Loading...". I've tried in Firefox, a Firefox private window, and in Chrome. I've dropped and reconnected my OpenVPN connection. Any suggestions?
I finished Tutorial, Vulnversity, and Blue without any issues. In fact I revisited Blue just this morning to polish up my documentation.
Oh I see the same issue discussed above now. I'll figure out what the next room in this path is and search for it
try to clear your browser's cache
Nope. Even getting the same thing on my work laptop (different OS)
i just said that because i saw skidy saying, idk then
no prob, always worth a shot π
@vapid dawn tried that, still didnnt work
Finished the Metasploit room earlier this evening and started the Nessus and MITRE rooms answering a few questions in each. My questions answered count on the tracker for today is still zero (0). Logged out of the site and back in, also spun up a VM and logged in via browser on VM too to answer a couple of questions, still zero (0).
I did get the badge for finishing the Metasploit room, so that part still worked π
Howdy. Having issue. It's my first time using TryHack me and am having an issue with the Tutorial of deploying my first machine
π
On this page, I don't get the red box that pops up with my IP address of the Attackbox. https://tryhackme.com/room/tutorial
have you clicked the green deploy button at the top right?
That will not be the IP Address of the attackbox btw, it will be the IP Address you are supposed to hack into, the machine you deploy
That's what I get for working all day and trying to do this π
no worries
didn't realize start the box and deploy are diff
Do what Termack said to deploy the machine, and use attackbox to access it
thanks much π
many people get confused
I refuse
Thanks guys. Really excited to do this hacking challenge
Excited for you 
hi! not sure why but i cant seem to see any advent of cyber 2 tasks. is it intended or am i supposed to go somewhere else
Its not live yet
does anyone use kali from VMware? because since a little while i cant seem to use nmap on thm machines.

!vpnscript
Thanks
Hey peeps, I need help
While running gobuster, I can't use any wordlists
this is the message that it gives me...
"Error: error on running goubster: failed to get number of lines: read /usr/share/wordlists: is a directory"
Any thoughts???
Are you supplying a directory instead of an actual wordlist like the error says
I tried supplying a straight .txt file and it still wouldn't read it
If thats what you are referring to
I'm new to all of this, and I was just trying to follow the prompt that THM gave me
Is there a way of changing a directory to a wordlist? If so, how?
Is there a maintenance happening now?
Is your syntax like the below?
gobuster dir -u http://10.10.22.63/admin/ -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/directory-list-2.3-small.txt
No, you're not. You just learned new stuff! π
Keep it up!
I'm using this setup. What's the error?
Hi guys, sorry the dum question but where I can start the Advent of Cyber 2? I can't see more about this
Doesnβt start til 7-8pm GMT today
Thank you guys!
Suggestion: If you're using the VIP (subscriber only) VPN skip the CAPTCHA
Or if you're a subscriber
What? For login page?
For everything, it gets kinda annoying when you have to solve the CAPTCHA
Or it's just me being small brained 
Complete the captcha?
I completed more then 10 time...
is it possiable to get refund for 2 month if i have not used them?
i don't think so
Email support@tryhackme.com
kk thx
I don't know if this is within the tech-support rules. But here I go. Any one know how the security is when using the openvpn solution?
Same with me, i cannot enter the room π¦
Did you fix the captcha issue? Iβm having the same thing too after solving correctly
everything ok with the site?
medium to good
nothing special
same here
tried a LOT
@brazen token the security of what, specifically?
the openvpn connection
Good at what?!
It's an encrypted connection between you and the TryHackMe network. That's all.
The encryption doesn't exactly matter
It doesn't touch your internet traffic either so it's not going to improve privacy.
Hi James,
I mean is everyone else connected to the network able to target me for an attack
no @brazen token
so.. this CAPTCHA thing, for every page that i try to access, i got to enter the captcha???
this was not happening until yesterday
anythign got changed ??
@brazen token Theoretically, yes. But the network is monitored and if someone attacks you it's literally illegal and TryHackMe take action.
What about?
Contact an admin
i want to copy flag from active machine
My workaround is to install google chrome inside Kali and that seems to work
u mean the browser based machine correct?
when i try to copy flag from active machine it's auto paste on active machine's terminal
select right click copy
yes
do what rick says π
but it should not keep asking when im already on THM vpn, right? just wondering
when i right click it pasted on Active Machine's Terminal
the load on the site is a lot right now, the captcha can mitigate dos if people try to do it, i dont see it going away soon
but its just a captcha
no problem
screenshot please
true, but its kinda irritating when you have to enter for every page π , but ya manageable π
oh i thought it was attackbox
well, allow clipboard access in the browser
i think
I only had to do the captcha once to get onto the site, then every page got accessible
@brazen token email support@tryhackme.com
Thanks a lot. Have a great day π
Hello. I'm having trouble creating account on the site. It's asking for Captcha, but there isn't one anywhere on the form.
if you refresh the captcha doesnt show up?
should i change my browser ?
i never use copy paste from browser vm so i dont know how to make it work sorry
You need to use the slide out tray on the display to access the clipboard between your browser and machine @waxen helm
it isn't attackbox, its normal vm
Iβll have to test when I get back
Is there someone that could reset my account to load attackbox? I did the task 3 tutorial. I am trying to do the x-mas day 1 but it says I can only load one attackbox preday.
If you are not subscribed, you can only launch the attackbox once per day for 1 hour.
There are other ways to access the challenge. You can either set up your own virtual machine in VirtualBox or VMware or subscribe to get access to the full attackbox
Quick question, i did the Advent of Cyber-2 Day1, and i didnt get any 'Congratulations' is that normal?
Hi, same problem here. All tasks complete, but no "Congratulations".
Guess thats normal then
There are still more tasks
I put in the flag, but noticed that I had missed to click finish on the first task. Don't know if that has anything to do with it or if it's a bug
This is only the first day there are 24 more days/tasks to go
Ok, so the whole event over 24 days is only a single room?
Yes there are 25 tasks a new task will be added each day til the 25th day
go through the captcha
if youre not a robot it should be pretty straightforward
and then continue about your life
It is not letting me go through
what happens
This same page comes again
guys, i have a little bit of an issue with Attackbox, i think it keeps changing resolution all the time
did anyone had this behavior?
Is there a way to change the payment method for a subscription?
wait for sub to end and then pay different way next time
ok thanks
Do you have multiple connections to your AttackBox open @hexed sundial? I.e. a connection in two tabs?
nope, had just one,split screen, it worked fine at first but when i opened firefox it started to go crazy
basic IT solution worked=turn it off and on again
anyone know why I lost all my progress on linux fundamentals 1 and 2?
i completed both and even still have the badge
but it says i haven't completed those rooms, since the learning paths were changed recently
Did you complete it when it was a part of the Learn Linux room?
yea i think so
so did they shift that into the beginnier path ?
if that's the case ill just skip it bc it looks exactly the same material I completed, but it'll drive me nuts not "finsishing" the complete beginner paath
Just copy the answers over
lol true, not a bad idea
Or use it to refresh your mind
i just went through it, but that's a good idea too
to use gobuster on windows i need go on my pc?
thankx
fwiw learn linux is NOT the same as fundamentals
theres a lot of overlap but its not the same
im seeing stuff not on the LL room in the LF room
In which one?
Yes
so its just shuffled around
It's exactly the same content
hey..I'm using attackbox, not a vm.. trying to set a tcpdump but there is no tun0 interface. what interface should i use?
I'm in telnet exploitation
eth0
tun0 is the interface created by OpenVPN, the attackbox doesn't use OpenVPN hence why there's no tun0 (:
well i thought so, that's why i mentioned i dont use a vm. thanks CMNatic!
Any time!
The attackbox is placed directly in the internal network which is why there's a THM IP on eth0 π
Can't connect to ip
Please provide more information
I deployed the machine it gives me an IP address, when I go to that address it says this site can't be reached
It loads
Done
Machines can take 5 minutes plust to fully boot up (especially for none subscribers), it's important to note that for future rooms, etc
#infosec-general please
restarted re-initialized everything and it helped, (i think I did a typo when I started the psql)
Hello guys, can anybody help me with some tips regardingcopying a text from the AttackBox to the tryhackme website? I tried ctr+c/ctrl+shift+c but it doesn't work
Try maximising the size of the attackbox and get rid of split view
Should work after that make sure clipboard is enabled as well
You need to use the slide-out tray for function keys and sharing clipboards @vocal silo
thanks a lot @zealous yoke @wind wedge ! It worked
(: hf!
Hello, i can't connect to the advent challenge, I clicked on "Deploy" but the IP it gave me doesn't work on my browser... I tried to follow these steps : https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn to connect with a VPN (I thought that was maybe the problem) but i get "connect:FAILURE". Can you help me ?
Where are you seeing that message?
Great
Hi guys, As I've mentioned couple days ago. I don't see the questions once I join the room. Is there anything I can try out to fix this? Already tried to use different browsers or to use website on my VM. Still the same thing π¦
Try leaving and rejoining the room please?
Did that, If I leave the room I can see them just fine. But once I join again, they're gone
Yeah ok that's a weird one
I was using THM couple months ago without any issues
I've put a message in the discord staff chat to see if anyone else has any ideas
Are you using any browser extensions that might be interfering?
I'll try to turn them all off then
but I've used clean IE and the same thing happened
Perhaps try clearing cache/a hard refresh?
Did that too
Tried relogging?
I've tried various rooms and seems that there are some that works correctly. Like ninja skills
Does the issue happen in other rooms too?
yes
Ok, you might need the admins to take a look in my opinion
Can I get you to email support@tryhackme.com and describe the issue in detail there with the steps you've tried please?
Sure, will do, thank you
Hope that helps
Seems like the EU-Regular-2 config file is missing the cert and the key?
I just download this straight from the website
How can I download files from a machine I logged in with ssh?
you can use scp
if you have more questions about it continue in #infosec-general or if it's related to a room #room-help
why am I constantly getting captcha challenges now? It makes the website nearly unusable. I'm on the VIP VPN, I'm not running any browser plugins...is it because of increased Advent of Cyber traffic?
yes
I can't scp an id_rsa
I keep getting TLS handshake failed error message from my Kali machine. I followed the help page on THM about this error and nothing works so far. The thm-troubleshoot script is giving me the below result. I also tried with all server and nothing worked. anyone know what I should do? or is there anything I haven't check yet?
show the output of sudo openvpn <vpnfile>
TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)
I am rebooting my computer so a screenshot will take a second
Are you in Egypt?
im in the US
It worked thx π i was thinking about it but wasent sure
I tried using kali on WSL2 and kali on VMware. Both didn't work
anything that I can do to fix it?
Advent of Cyber (2019?); Task 14 [Day 9] Requests, supporting material "Christmas Scripting" found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FyAnxlQpzh0Cy17cKLsUZYCYqUA3eHu2hm0snilaPL0/edit
TLDR: Requesting Christmas Scripting example be updated. Line 15 and 16 should be commented out, right? Also, since the start of the paper talks about using python3, the example command should be python3 example.py, right? I received an error when trying python example.py.
Long version:
Being a noob, I wanted to follow the Christmas Scripting python example.
When I used python3 example.py, I received an error:
"...py:6: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="?
while(host is not ''):"
~~I tried to google this, but didn't have luck in troubleshooting. ~~
UPDATE: I updated line 6 to match the what the error message was saying. Removed the words 'is not' and put in their place '!='. I have heard python is helpful with it's error messages. It is! LOL
My other responses were 403. I think this is because of the new hCapthcha maybe?

was asking me the same question
yeah its mildly annoying, this has never happened before
Thought my computer had malware or something
is anyone else having problems with vpn?
openvpn gets stuc on 2020-12-01 20:16:28 VERIFY EKU OK, already tryied regenerating config file and changed location
Is there any fix to this that I can do ?
cool, thanks for letting us know
I thought CloudFlair had started flailing again - thank you for the update @ember crest
hey there, I cant really install enum4linux on the browser machines. sudo apt-get install enum4linux seems to not find the file despite being whats suggested on the network services room of Beginner's path.
I tried updating samba, installing samba altogether, but same problem.
Whats even weirder is that under Miscelaneous tools, I find enum4linux there, and if I go to the path and run ./enum4linux.pl <options> <IP> it seems to work semi, fine
not sure if this is intended or not, or if I'm just doing something wrong
That first one looks like itβs working to me?
It just isnβt able to get some of the info. And is missing some of the scripts from your path
aye but I had to dig for it, like just using enum4linux is not recognized
You can just add it to the path. But also, itβs just a perl script
I first checked to see if it even existed with the find command and spotted him on that directory, and running it from the directory works, so long as it has ./ and .pl appended before-hand and after-hand
plus I dont really know how to add it to the path just yet
Gotcha no problem
I'm uh... still pretty new to this, so sorry if this doesnt make much sense
@zealous yoke maybe worth looking at?
No worries! Really π
Iβm a bit busy. Hopefully another mentor can come help you with it
Or if cmn isnβt busy
lol ^
nods alright, thank ya, and no rush, still getting a hang of the fundamentals so this might just be my noobishness XD
It's a perl script in "/root/Desktop/Tools/Miscellaneous/enum4linx.pl" usage is perl enum4linux.pl in that directory (: @toxic python @crisp cedar
I can maybe add an alias for it on next update
@crisp cedar could you give this a try? it's basically enum4linux rewritten in python with some added things
https://github.com/cddmp/enum4linux-ng#run
Sounds good π
that seems to work pretty well, thank ya!
i'm glad to hear that! anytime
oh man does anyone else have a problem with OpenVPN taking an eternity to load?
only when I forget to use sudo
Hey! Idk if this is the correct place to ask but I have a general question regarding nmap. I noticed that when I use the -sN flag, some ports don't show (usually some kind of windows smb), why is that?
I'm pretty new at this so take anything I say with a grain of salt, but I believe its because that is a Null scan, that is, a malformed package technically given its mostly nothing and just header. A lot of services, specially in windows, have the firewall automatically throw out malformed packages.
from the furthernmap room:
ok im working on vulnuniversity and i cant get the reverseshell.php to connect
why would it be stuck like that
#room-hints #room-help @nocturne heath
Thank you ! π
Aye! So I am working on setting up Proxy Chains in Kali- and according to the NetworkChuck, you put in the host IP and port for socks4. How do I get that host and port?
Hey! So i've recently started running into the issue where I can't get reverse shells to work when running openvpn. If i use the attackbox everything works fine. Not sure if it's an update with ParrotOS or msf6. Anyone else experience this in the past?
Are you using a VM?
@eager fulcrum i'm not. i have a laptop dedicate to hacking and development only
https://tryhackme.com/room/ctf
am unable to ping this machine
Hey all. Big newbie here. Just completed my first day ( Advent of cyber 2 ) learned a lot already :))) my question would be: any possibility to change user name? Opened an account to try, now bought subscription but would like to have different username. Any possibility? Thanks in advance
Email support@tryhackme.com
Saw to email or go on discord. Ok will email them. Thanks
Congrats!! πππΎπ

Thanks.
Hi.
So i'm trying to get started with TryHackMe, and i've entrolled in the path for "Complete beginner".
Once i'm in there, no rooms are showing. It just says "Loading..." on all of them, forever.
I've tried different browsers, cleared my cache/browser history and reconnected without any luck.
Ok, guess i'll just have to wait.
or the modules in hacktivities
Thanks π A lot of study and work to do i see, exciting.
Anyone notice openvpn is recently just disconnecting?
@somber mason #infosec-general
I'm connected and a few seconds later I'm disconnected (10.10.10.10 is unreachable)
The attackbox is also so laggy
!vpnscript
Hello everyone! I have a problem where I VPN and lose my ability to connect to anything EXCEPT the network. I'm running kali on a virtual machine and running openvpn through the vm. I have another VPN for my work computer that works fine (different type of VPN on a macbook). I tried to run the script but it told me I didn't have internet and stopped. I can't even ping while I am in the VPN, but I can access the THM box I'm supposed to be attacking. Any help would be appreciated.
are you using the built in VPN manager, or the terminal program? @quick iron
I did it with the built in, when i tried it with terminal it hung
i can try it again
ERROR: Cannot ioctl TUNSETIFF tun: Operation not permitted (errno=1)
^ that's new
oh wait, did i just forget to sudo
The built in VPN manager adds incorrect routes, it tries to route your internet traffic over the VPN
The THM VPN is designed to only handle traffic destined for THM
Hello support. I just login and subscribed to advent of cyber2. When I started attackBox I could not connect to my IP address on Firefox
ty @eager fulcrum
I lost my first day on this course
You shouldn't be using your IP
You need to be using the IP address that you get under Active Machine Information when you click deploy
You are right. Could you do anything to help me to try this lab again
I clicked on deploy
I am waiting the deploy up
Ip
Ayooooooo what the heck is this??????
I just opened up my bash and i did a quick ls and saw those weird files
@naive dust #infosec-general
Thank you
Give it 2-7 minutes to boot
migrating over
So what is considered tech support ? not to question your authority but, just curious?
what's the diff between tech support and info sec?
VPN and other technical questions related to TryHackMe
That's the channel topic
Typically site and VPN issues
ah, i understood thank u
anyone have issues with the room internal just timing out whenever you try to log in with the creds found during the scan?
anyone up here??
What's up
can I DM you? its an issue I was facing during submitting my own machine
I have no control over that, but I can try to offer my advice, sure
yes
when I was upload my vmware file as zip
it was hung
and I was waiting and waiting
but there are no upload or progress bar showing
You shouldn't upload it as a zip, you upload as an OVA or something
whether my file is getting uploaded or not
there are directions somewhere, i dont remember the exact requirements or process
Hey there i just completed the advent of cyber day 1 but didn't get a. Notification that i have completed this room can anyone help?
@toxic python
Can you help?
there are 23 tasks left
1 is released each day
you haven't completed them all yet
you need to wait till the 25th to be done
Ok ok thanksππ₯
Hey in advent of cyber 2 where it is asked to enter santa's cookie . I entered cookie of random user still it get accepted as correct answer
answer tolerance
advent of cyber 2 the machine as been booting for over 10 minutes
actually it says it'll expire in 1h39 so it's been booting for 21 minutes
Can you show us a screenshot
It's not already booted ? Do you not see an IP Address
So, it's stuck at 28s ?
no the IP address countdown is just looping
You can terminate this one and deploy it again
how would i clear my openvpn connections?
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>
thank you
hey, first time using TryHackMe... is it possible to copy text out of the in-browser AttackBox out to the host browser?
oh i see, it's being explicitly blocked by chrome
aha! thanks
i edited the javascript to print the clipboard text to the console, but this is easier heh
@ebon igloo
its already installed on Kali
ok, when I did it the attackbox either didn't have it installed, or didn't have it in path, so I switched to VPN and my kali vm
Soo, is there an official place to file bug reports that I am not seeing anywhere?
I'll try #site-bugs ...
I'm on my windows machine at the moment and I installed OpenVPN and it shows I'm connected just fine, however when going to connect to one of the machines it times out
If anyone has run into this problem or has any advice lmk
can you go to http://10.10.10.10
Yup
it seems to be challenge machine is timing out when trying to access or ping it
which room
Advent of Cyber day 1, but the other day a machine I tried to spin up for one of the challenges I never was able to get it working
hello
room furthernmap task no 14
There is a reason given for this -- what is it?
please give me answer for this
Alright, system reset seemed to fix the issue, that was strange
Is there a difference between the "attack machine' and the kali linux machine in the subscription service? I've always used the kali linux machine and wondering if I should be using the attack machine.
The attack box is made by the THM team with a specific set of tools pre-installed
gotchya, thanks
hmm I added my schools proxy to my vpn but its still not connecting
is it smth I can fix or do I just have to deal with it?
The event goes on for 24 more days(more tasks coming to the room, one each day)
You might have completed the task for today, but the room is not completed yet. It will show Congratulations Popup when you complete the last task, which will be released on 25th
Check Back each day and you will be able to see more tasks
What kind of error. Might want to elaborate ?
A Screenshot would help
What do you mean, what's not working for you ?
Im on windows using the openvpn gui
well Im connected to my schools wifi and I have a proxy set up bc I wouldnt have internet without it
now when I try connect with OpenVPN it doesnt connect
then I saw a setting that would add the proxy to it
it doesnt work tho
here are my logs but its mostly just me trying to reconnect over and over and at the bottom is the error with the proxy
What Server @slate sail
See if changing the server, regenerating the config, waiting 30 seconds and downloading it again helps with the issue
pioli- So, you are using a system proxy to get internet to your system?
Not really sure how it's like with the GUI Client on windows, but
Have you tried editing your config accordingly https://openvpn.net/community-resources/connecting-to-an-openvpn-server-via-an-http-proxy/
I have dual boot with arch I can hop over real quick
This worked. Thanks for the help.
This should work with both Windows and Linux
oh
You need to edit your .ovpn file as specified

Also, what server were you using before regenerating ?
.!verify isnt working for me
What isn't working exactly
it isnt updating my rank just completely ignores my text :c
so Ive added this to my file and Im getting an error message
[pioli@suckmyballs ~]$ sudo openvpn /opt/OpenVPN/pioliX000.ovpn

Have you not read through the guide properly
You need to do something like this
ohh yea I forgot to add

lets see if it connects
You also need to delete any proto udp mentions
yea I replaced the udp with tcp

:)
I'm not sure if this is the right section to ask this (If not I'm sorry):
Is there a way to get the subscription discount for university students without using the university email address as the default THM mail?
Hey everyone, anyone having issues copy pasting between browser-based Attack box and host system?
Same thing happened yesterday to many folks in the adventOfCyber2 room
Dang, im unable to launch this on my main system so Im stuck with the browser.
did you try to use the copy/paste html box on the left hand side in your attackbox?
I didnt even know this was a thing! Thanks @versed valve
no problem π
Advent cyber day 1 answered all questions yet its not reflecting as completed
Okay got it.
I am trying to continue my learning path but the rooms do not load. Tried from my kali box and windows. Any help?
Is anyone experiencing issues with the rooms lately? Since yesterday when entering an answer to a question it becomes unresponsive
What time is day 2 going live π
is there something wrong with the THM network/machines?
i'm working on linux priv esc room atm, and the machine is unavailable after a few minutes
when i reboot, it is back, and i can work again but after a couple of minuts its gone again
probs because of the many thousands doing the advent room
damn, this is annoying, Advent 2 is not yet up i think
It is started yesterday
@native goblet looks like a vpn problem
Hey! I'm new at this community and I started yesterday with de begginer path. I don't know if something is wrong but it shows the "Loading..." text and it does not charge the room.
Here is a pic. Can someone help me? Thx.
try to reload the website
Already did that π¦ I'm trying it since yesterday
@zealous yoke could you take a look at this
hi (: are there any errors in your web browsers console? This is a known bug that a code push tonight would hopefully resolve
Meanwhile, these are the three rooms
https://tryhackme.com/room/startingoutincybersec
https://tryhackme.com/room/introtoresearch``` @golden nimbus
Maybe some other getting started one, but it's almost the same stuff
is there a quick way for me to check if my kali is connected to the openvpn?
like openvpn show connections or something?
yes go to http://10.10.10.10
I guess if it doesn't connect im not connected
ip a should reveal a tun0 interface , but you should know if you are connected or not if you connect. You are not supposed to close the terminal after you get connected
!vpn
oh i thought i could close it
It terminated the connection
Leave it open in a terminal tab. you can background it, but it will only create confusion for you later on
ok thanks dude
Has anyone had any issues where cloudflare comes up just before getting on to the Tryhackme website?
Thx a lot!
Genuine questin!
This are the errors that the console shows me
Has anyone had any issues where cloudflare comes up just before getting on to the Tryhackme website?
I have no clue why it's coming up!
Some cloudflare features have been enabled to balance the load that the site is experiencing because of the AoC event
If the captchas are getting annoying, look in #resources and install the mentioned "privacy-pass" (pinned in the channel) browser extension. That can help with reducing the times you need to select X number of airplanes
@fluid thunder I don't recieve the captcha, I do though recieve for DDos checking your browser!
That makes sense to me!
I've been wondering if this is an mtm attack or is the AoC event?
every path is looking like this. any help?
I'm afraid I don't understand? The extension is neither a man in the middle nor part of the event ? It's just suggested if you're struggling with captchas

That and to balance the load due to the event
That is a common feature you'll find on lots of websites using cloudflare. It's a measure against different kinds of attacks
It's a temporary thing iirc
So it doesn't necessarily mean that I am infected because I have scanned my pc with an anti-virus (whatever help that can really do!)
No it has nothing to do with that
@fluid thunder Thank you both for answering my query!
comes out some time today
i am very exicted to try it
hey, i need some help, i can't connect via ssh in putty even after connecting the openvpn
ps i am a total noobie
which room
linux basics 2nd room
what error do you get
unable to acces
screenshot please
yep
what creds are you using?
username and password
can't even put a password it blocks me from reaching that but the username is shiba2
like said in the room
try and restart the room
yes
allright i'll wait till i see the ip and i'll tell you
okay
@thorny cove @naive dust The issue here is that Putty for Linux doesn't handle the name@host format, but it does on Windows
Use the command line to SSH in.
It's not an issue from the room
oh okay thanks
@eager fulcrum i feel so dumb now
I mean you shouldn't really be using putty on linux
allright
Hello there; yesterday I renewed my subscription but a hour later it got cancelled automatically without refunding. I have mailed many times and asked that what i need to do now but I got no response back.
when did you sent a email @keen prawn
Yesterday and today
I have also tweeted but no response
It tells you what you need to do
Go to your profile, try again
patience is a virtue
It doesnt tell anything
it does in the email right there
It asks to re-subscribe
But they didnt refund the subscription fee
Banks take a couple of days to process and show refunds
How many days max or min?
can't find the vpn sector
It shouldnβt take long to refund I would say about 24-72 hours
vpn sector @lofty hornet ?
ain't my current vpn connects and can't find the vpn sector of site
openvpn config file part of site
Hover over your profile picture then click access should be there
tnx a lot
Nah, banks take forever
never seen James kidding before π
i always remember James like "DID U GOOGLE THAT?"
but i really like him
cuz he is really helpful
anyone ever have issues with the site like showing a different rank on the dashboard than on my profile? or like rooms/learning paths missing
I can't seem to get my attackbox' public ip
What's the internal ip @kind plover
10.10.172.210
ty bare with pls (:
it just shows nan nan nan.. and then goes back to 1min
63.35.210.239
yeah yeah don't worry.. wanted to report it before task2 started so that u get some leeway π
Not quite sure why it's had a bit of bug there π
anyone ever have issues with the site like showing a different rank on the dashboard than on my profile? or like rooms/learning paths missing
Hello everyone!
I just joined the CyberAdvent and finished the first Room. Unfortunately, I dont got the Certificate aswell as the "Congrats" for finishing the Room. I Anwered every Question correct (also the one without anything required) and it shows 100%. However, I can not progress or get the Certificate. Any help?
Please check the pins in #778305825797177374
Also there will be a new task added each day
The room is not complete
Understood, thanks!
Hi, I don't seem to have any web access from the attack box. Can't get onto the CyberChef page or any anything else external except the christmas control centre! Am I missing anything obvious? Thanks.
if your not a subscriber you cannot use internet on the attackbox
Ah OK, didn't see that stated anywhere. Will set up the VPN instead.
Alternatively you could just open a new tab and use cyberchef there?
I couldn't let me copy-paste the hex out of the attach box or I would have done.
You can, using the sidebar
what if the sidebar is missing for me
ah i meant on the website, also just weird things like rank on dashboard showing different than on my public profile and showing im not connected to network when I am
The next rank is the level up from your current level
To satisfy the "connect to our network" you need to download your config or something like that
Rooms cannot be down
Because you do not share instances
When you click deploy, that instance is yours and only yours
How long does it take to get verified?
It's currently not working atm, Hors said he'll be fixing it tonight
I see, thanks
Is rooting android phone basically privesc?
Hi, need help regarding VPN
I've downloaded the configuration file and followed instructions experiencing some SSL error
Regenerate your file on the site
Wait 30-60 seconds
Redownload
use sudo openvpn <path>
That won't fix it
It's not a permissions issue.
Granted, you do require sudo, but that's not the issue shown
Hey
okay thanks lemme try
It worked!Thanks alot
Hello ! Anyone know how can I change my username ?
send an email to support@tryhackme.com
Okay thanks
@eager fulcrum thanks, that fixed the error. But TLS key negotiation is failed to occur. Although internet is working fine with browsing and other stuff
i have completed overpass series but still haven't got the badge.
Did you complete it before the series was created?
Also I aim to release a new one in January
@desert kindle Are you in Egypt or another country that's likely to block VPN traffic?
i think so
If you completed it before the series was created, you won't get the badge and you'll need to ask
Honestly, I'd recommend emailing support@tryhackme.com
Or wait until I release this next one π
Hi! I made a subscription and a payment also, but I don't get the premium. Thanks for help! π
Hey sorry to hear that, usually it's automatically applied. Can you send an email to support@tryhackme.com w/ your THM username and proof of purchase (i.e. a receipt from paypal, etc) @smoky forum
Wicked, thanks -- shouldn't be too much of a wait!
hey so, how do i go about using the student 20% off?
!docs student
i set it to gmail, can it be changed to my edu email?
Yep
oh i see i can send an email from it
oh ok
Is there a quick simple way to terminate any active boxes in any room. Every time I finish a room I have to go back and terminate the box
Sweet, thanks!
eyy profile change worked
now to wait a week for my cheque
Any idea why my attack box would keep disconnecting my VNC connection? Worked fine since last week, but today (while doing the burp room) its disconnecting every 20 - 120 seconds it seems
also freezing like crazy.
I can use my own VM but just wanted to see if some kind of maintenance was going on or something.
hey guys regarding the tryhackme bot is there any issues currently with it?
Ye , i don't have a student email. school didn't give us one
!docs student
You'll need to email, as per the article
Email, and they'll sort something out π
Hey, I have a VM connected in the browser and I have a long flag which I can't copy, how to copy from browser VM to my computer??
There's a clipboard panel on the left hand side
I'm doing the Linux challenges
SSH in.
So I'm not sure how to do it from their VM
I've spoken to Skidy about a way to improve this
Oh ok
Are the web based attackboxes configured with enough resources to handle burpsuite and also be stable? really, no clue why im getting disconnected so much. It's not my internet, the machine is freezing and i've terminated and started a new session but the problem prevails.
Does anyone have any idea? Idk what to do π¦
Hi, i live in a country that blocks vpn traffic is there anyway to bypass the vpn censorship ?
Use the slide-out tray on the left of the display
Yes they should be more then capable for this. The servers that handle the in-display are under a lot of load at the moment. You might have a better time by bypassing these and connecting to the VPN and using RDP (:
advent of cyber 2 : I launched the attack box it had a problem connecting and then said I can't launch it again the same day.. I completed day 1 over 24 hours ago any ideas?
rgr, thanks for the info! Glad to know i'm not crazy
We're working on scaling these up, but it unfortunately requires taking all the boxes offline essentially
Gotta wait for a bit more of a quiet time π
You can find the credentials for the RDP via https://tryhackme.com/my-machine π
I'll give it a whirl thank you!
π
Can anybody help ?
no clue until you ask your question
I live in a country that blocks vpn traffic is there anyway to bypass the vpn censorship ?
Egypt
If I upgrade my account to Premium, do I need to redownload / regenerate my OpenVPN file?
Or does the system know Iβm Pro and make deploying machines faster etc automatically?
When you subscribe there is a new VPN profile that will appear. This is a VIP profile
Can't i use a proxy or something ?
You do not need to use it @digital terrace
It's not something we can help with I'm afraid @lapis sparrow
Hmm, where? Iβm still using the original ovpn file
Reference:
Perfect, thanks!
unfortunately we can't do anything about that
you can use the in browser machine, but we cannot get around your country's blocking of the VPN
that too^
anyone up here?
Just ask your question
why is this so buggy? I tried uploading my machine like so many times and it gets stuck somewhere in the middle always in some percentage
It's not buggy for me. What do you mean by "it gets stuck somewhere"?
I've uploaded like 20 VMs
like the first time I uploaded it was stuck at 23.47%
the next time it was in 10.98%
and the third time in 63.43%
I have been trying since so long to upload it
Just gotta wait longer
isnt 12 hours enough?
100% depends on your upload speed
my upload speed is 20mbps
And the size of what you're uploading
What OS is it?
Ubuntu
Because if that's Linux, you should be able to make it a LOT smaller
Server or desktop? Version?
2004 or 1904 won't convert
convert to what?
After upload, your VM needs to be converted to AMI format on TryHackMe's end so it can exist on AWS
You need to follow the conversion requirements
but why would someone go for old outdated machines?
Requirements for importing a VM into AWS EC2.
Blame AWS
This is not THM's fault
1804 is LTS.
It's still in support
Therefore not old or outdated.
well 19.04 was also LTS
1904 was not LTS
wat
like HTB does?
What do you mean? You need to clarify.
Theyβre all virtual machines theyβre just hosted on AWS so you need to follow AWSs guidelines
Theyβre all virtual machines theyβre just hosted on AWS so you need to follow AWSs guidelines
I donβt think AWS supports 20.04 yet. @eager fulcrum is that correct?
Again, AWS requirements. Not THM.
Yes
Look at the list I posted...
Requirements for importing a VM into AWS EC2.
looks like I will have to wait until they accept it
yes
happened with me too
also the Day 1 task cookie submission part was broken too
it was accepting wrong answers as correct
Would it be better to use Kali Linux VM than the AttackBox itself?
That's answer tolerance, and it's documented and been raised hundreds of times over the last week
The attackbox is so slow
Are you a subscriber?
yes
I completed room without any issues AOC D1 all tasks went smooth for me
cool
Whichever you prefer. I like my own VM cuz you get persistence and customization
Does it include the same tools etc?
As what? The attack box? No if you install kali it will come with the tools kali comes with. But you can install anything you want on it because itβs yours
I'm not so experienced with Linux yet, so often when i'm trying to install new tools every now and then something wrong occurs.. Even though i followed the instructions straight forward. The attackbox was a good option, but i can't believe it should be so slow as a subscribing user..
sudo apt install that's all it takes
As james said itβs load is really heavy right now cuz of AOC
But yea I get that installing stuff is a bit difficult at first when you donβt know what youβre doing
Yeah normally, not always though.
But even though i use that method, an error message sometimes occurs depending on what i'm trying to install.
Imo you should get a VM and just go through the pains of learning. Itβll be worth it I promise π
That shouldn't happen
Yeah i guess you're right π Learn while doing
You can always ask in #infosec-general here and someone will probably try to help!
Thanks, i'll get started with the kali VM
hey guys i am having huge problems with reverse shells for some reason that i think stems from openVPN
i.e. i cannot get a tun0 ip from my VM but with powershell i can
and it is causing my nc listener to not receieve any traffic
lemme give it a shot
I'm new so let me know if this isn't allowed here, but I was disconnected from the attackbox I was using so I started a new one and it looks like someone else is logged into it.(?)
Got kinda of a big problem here when trying to continue on the beginner path:
^^ same
Same same.
same
Been having issues with THM site over the last week getting timeouts like this. I thought it was me, apparently not.
Got a source on that?
@past night I have the same
Yeah, their servers must have crashed. I can't get logged back in either.
I just got that message too.
I just connected with my openVPN, lol
500
and right afterwards it crashed
Not awesome
sorry guys, my fault
It is the Villain from Advent of Cyber 2!
bunch of hackers in a room running a DDOS...
its what I gathered
I just got the same message π¦
The image doesn't say CloudFlare is having issues, so it's probably not cloudflare?
Agreed.
Ironically I just finished watching S2 EP1 of Mr Robot and now the host lost connection lol
Yikes sorry
Am I the only person with this issue?
Nah we all have it
Not
@maiden imp No
nope
Whait
guess its time to put tryhackme on the back burner for today and come back to it later π¦
Getting it as well
^^ same
got a fatal error after using: openvpn --config <file-path>
Weirdly, my VPN is still working and I am connected to the box I was working on. Just can't hit their website.
same, my reverse shell is still connected to the machine
No issues with the vpnn
Mine is back up now.
mine too
did someone try to check if the domain name is affected and can still access the website using the iP address instead?
Mine too
Sudo.
looks like just a temp blip with the internal server
Cloudflare exists, and prevents that
It is back again fellas.
it is?
ahh gotcha
Thats said, bypassing CF is doable
awesome it is!!
Depends if the site is set up to explicitly avoid that.
Happy hacking to all!
hmmm not quite
True but that's unusual
Not when it's a cybersec company.
struggling to join a room
It's still lagging a bit. They must be still having issues.
Just finished advent day 2, so I'm off until tomorrow. GL all.
Ninja you exist on irc as well?
I exist on THM.
I did mean the community
ok i got openVPN on my kali machine and now have a tun0 but still am not receiving any traffic on my nc listener
yes but this is a persistant issue with all reverse shells i have attempted
feel it needed to be brought to tech support
it will be if you've been running your VPN on the host
everything i have done the guys in AoC2 is correct
There's an explanation for it pinned in #room-help
i posted a screenshot in AoC2 would you please take a look at it and tell me if im a fool or if i have a legit issue?
I'm staying out of that channel because people keep asking the same questions
Someone will help you, I'm sure
okay i will keep banging away at it
thanks for helping me get the tun0 figured out tho π
I tried to enroll in the beginner pathway, but on the first page all the rooms just appear as "Loading..." Tried in both Chrome and FireFox
oh is there an issue with the vpn
Anyone getting a lot of cloud flare checking browser when switching between pages on the site or cloud flare captcha when browsing site.
ive been having trouble attempting advent room and linux priv esc room
my vpn wont lemme ping the deployed vm in the room
so i cant do anything with it
but if theres an issue then ill just have to wait i guess
!vpnscript
alright, ill try that whenever the "checking browser" thing goes away
always takes so long
I noticed the K is now gone ontop of the web page of THM
What?
Having this same issue, redownloaded the pack 3 times.
2nd times the charm
