even commands on this box are slow! lol
yeah, boot in memory or something. Massive lag
not a paid subscriber no. Yeah, Windows
Yeah so that'll want a resource boost. Cmn should be able to do that happily.
thanks
Hi, is it possible to change username or I should reregister? π
You can email support@tryhackme.com and they can change it for you
awesome! thank you! π
Will take add this to the list to take a look (:
Nice colour btw!
The badges are being retired for various reasons - Housekeeping, Screen-space, impossible to achieve, room updates aswell as various administrative reasons. Save the badges you want to keep and keep an eye out for new and exciting badges and achievements in the coming year!
More badges will be added, don't worry!
hi can some explain this to me. Why I dont get full points like the others knowing that the bar is at 100%
i dont really know but it might be that they did the room in the month it came out
but in the help i found this "Old challenge rooms (not released this month) will give you 25% of the points to your monthly score and 100% to your all-time score."
Thats only in relation to the leaderboards
it all depends on when the room was released, usually the chart there only shows the first ones to answer
If somone has earned more point on the room, that usually means they were the first to solve it or 'Get blood'
but only the first one not all 9 people
oh i get it now
some of the rooms get re-balanced as well
so some rooms can have top 10 gets additional points
it depends on the room creator ??
ok tnx for all info
there are multiple factors that go into the point system and how they are awarded
@warm spear sorry for disturbing but for some reason I can't log into my account or change my password after you changed my username
reply to the email
i cant find you π
sure
yes
@deep trellis ^^
and i was subbed sometime in summer
Can I DM you?
sure
can i in any way change my username
Accept friend requesttt
not fullname
Email support@tryhackme.com
tnx
@wicked iris Please don't ping the admins -- they're busy people and that really does not need their attention
Hey is it possible to change your username just once please ?
You can email support@tryhackme.com and they can change it for you
Okey thanks you
is there any good free VPN? I couldn't find any online
idk if I am in the right server to ask this tbh
@naive dust #infosec-general
Hi my vpn connection to machines is very unstable ? I have access for only 10-15s then timeout for 30s or more...
thx Ninja
!vpnscript
Ok, let me try, thanks
That fixes it, thank a lot
I cant seem to load hosted sites from multiple rooms with a deployed server. i.e. I am connected through openVPN, i deploy the server, i can ping the server, IP address in the browser(Firefox and chrome) address bar results in the page starting to load(title loads and some resources load) but stalls. I can create an attack machine on THM and access the site no problem..... appreciate any ideas to help me solve this.
Admins - [Day 20] Blue Teaming PowershELlF to the rescue - Challenge machine is extremely slow; takes a lot of time to responds; please look into it
Already being looked into, also not an admin issue
trying to understand what pins i should be looking at? Could you point me in the right direction?
The discord pins in this channel

Oh thankyou:)
generate new config first... then change server and download... try that way- worked for me
There's a message pinned regarding this issue check that
Ha appreciate the gif.. i did run the "openvpn-troubleshooting" script. All seems to return a happy result.
The MTU one @sleek berry
I'm a novice. Your are a pro. Thank you! This did the trick
How to change my account linked on discord?
You don't have one linked right now
Yes, but i try use my token and he say already used in my other account discord.
I need change for this my account
What's the full username+discriminator or id of your other account?
JGoulart[GoldHunters]
But i quit on this server for try a new verify in my new account
I need an ID or username+discriminator
JGoulart[GoldHunters]
#2043
!tokenremove JGoulart[GoldHunters]#2043
Done, no more entry with UID "JGoulart[GoldHunters]#2043".
Nope I think I need an actual ID
Nope, discord ID like 783553997419839508
You have to enable it
The easiest way would be to rejoin on that account and send a message here
Hey guys I have an strange issue I cannot ssh to deployed machine but if machine has also different services there is no problem to access to web app or ftp service. I tried with two vpn configurations but the result is the same. Does anyone has similar problem?
@eager fulcrum This is my account
!tokenremove 247915896302075914
Done, no more entry with UID "247915896302075914".
!tokenremove @late night
Done, no more entry with UID "@late night".
@wise flare Not all room VMs run SSH servers
Ty man.
Done.
I am not that stupid to connect via ssh to server which doesnt have this service. I am talking about cases where task required ssh
Why one room appears 2 times as uncompleted when is supposed the filter of completed rooms is activated (Linux Fundamentals Part 3)
@eager fulcrum Thanks.
hi!
started doing THM about 20 days ago and i hav a macbook with 10GB of storage left
is that fine?
i think i have trouble doing some tasks because i need to learn different commands
Hiya fish - I'm not sure if theres a question there. I should mention though, this channel is for technical issues with the THM site and the VPN.
But yes, you can participate with the setup you have
The worst case - You can use the Browser-based attackbox to tackle the rooms. As for the difficulty - Well, Thats why we are a learning platform π
Hey need some help, so I have been using the attackbox from the browser but it is slow like very slow. Wanted to ask if I subscribe will it be any better. For anyone who would advice me to use the vpn option my question would be what is the best server to connect with for those who stay in Africa mostly a country known as Kenya
If you subscribe then the attackbox will deploy with more resources
Some of it is going to be your internet connection
Will it be fast mostly when using burpsuite
and what resources are we talking about here ...
like what are the Specs difference
Off the top of my head, no idea.
Okay will subscribe for three months then try it out then.
so I don't really have a technical question or anything but I do have a question in regards to the student discount. Do I need to sign up with the .edu domain account or can I continue to use my current account that I have?
You can change your account email
and then when I go to subscribe i'll get the discount?
Should do. If not, email support
thanks!
is there a way to copy and paste something into the attackbox on tryhackme
Can a username be changed on the back-end so as not to disrupt existing badge achievements and progress? It doesn't look like it can be changed within the profile.
You have to send a mail to support@tryhackme.com to change username.
@bronze dove ^^
it shows me this

I donβt want to be rude to anyone, so Iβm sorry
I'm connected to the vpn and I'm able to scan the machine, but i'm not able to view the website content of the box!
i get 404 pages but not the index or other available pages can anyone help?
thanks
Anyone is having problem connecting with vpn config file
I'm also trying to change the configuration region to mine and i'm redirected and getting "404 got to dashboard"
I'm facing this issue.
Click regenerate. Wait 60 while seconds. Redownload.
Ok
is there a way to copy and paste stuff into the attackbox
Did this and executed the vpn file but getting error and the process is also stucked at "Wed Dec 30 19:30:02 2020 VERIFY EKU OK

Just wait for jt
Yes. The sidebar on the left side
OK
ty
any update on a release date for holo ?
Very soon
Nobody knows
can someone help me cant get open vpn to connected to the server
@stark bramble When you're asking for help, please provide at least basic information. What's happening? What's not happening? What are you doing? Screenshots are important.
ok 1 sec
so that is coming TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)
Make sure your system time is exactly correct
yea i looked for that
Are you in a country that blocks OpenVPN like Egypt or China?
i am in germany shouldnt be i think
Try a different server from the drop-down then
how to do that or u mean like the other eu server and usa
From the drop down list on the access page
Select another server, download your config, and use that config
Click regenerate. Wait 60 seconds. Redownload
@vapid dawn this seems worryingly frequent at the moment
now this
Regenerate, wait 60 seconds, redownload
i did i will try again
i am not getting the same port number as on the video - this is the attack box too
I'll try out asap, thanks a lot π
H-Warrior - If this is for a room, #room-help is more appropriate
this is day 16 and my new ip for target is 10.10.8.175
got kicked out of AOC2 told to go to tech support
Sorry - H, That was directed to Leo. My bad, I shold have been more clear
ok should i go back
@eager fulcrum still not working same error
Different server then
i cant this comes
i cant believe this is a troll just made a new account and new it is just working fine

It's not a troll.
hey do you know why when i add a filter in hacktivities the page doesn't refresh?
It's not meant to refresh?
i mean it doesnt show only the rooms that have that filter, for example if i put "easy" i still see every level room
nmap is unusable in the attackbox, could some1 look it up.
Please provide more information
Like what you're doing, what you're scanning, what scan type
a simple port scan takes 1 hour +
i'm in the network services module, doing a scan for telnet with the switches needed
but its impossible at this speed
I don't think that's an issue with the attackbox
I'm pretty sure this happens to everyone on this room, it seems.
great
Try scanning a different machine, I bet you it's not the attackbox.
Ok
Thank You.
nope, same thing with other targets, it just gets stuck
hi! I've a problem when i want to download my configuration file, it shows me an error page and tell me to go to my dashboard, is there a problem?
Whatβs the error
404
Check pins
Check pins
how do i do that ? π
This isn't really a THM issue, but I can't for the life of me get my own modules to load in metasploit. I've even tried the method on offsec's site, and still doesn't work.
If it isn't a THM issue and you acknowledge that, why are you posting it in a support channel that is specifically for THM related issues?
Well it specifically pertains to the "Steel Mountain" box.
Then you go to room help because you need help on a room..?
Unless
It's not related at all
Then you follow James' advice
You shouldn't need to add any modules for that.
Seeing as it's shipped with metasploit for over a year now.
Hello people. I once read that we can contact tryhackme staff if we want to change our username, can someone tell me is that still an option and what's the contact?
Email support to change your name on the site
Cheers π π»
The issue was already brought up here. https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/issues/13973
@soft umbra The module is already installed. You should not need to add it. Fix your metasploit install.
It doesn't work lol
Alright thanks
Hey guys- I am trying to finish up the very last bit of Learn Linux room it appears I cannot su or ssh into the same user names as stated in the writeups and previous exercises. I am using the attack box and the terminal states the user has no passwd entry.
Screenshots
@sudden parcel You need to be on the box that you deployed
Not the attackbox
They're totally seperate. Just on the same network.
got it thanks for the quick response!
Rubeus.exe kerberoast => provides me the correct HASHs
when i proceed with hashcat, i always the errors regarding separators ... how can i get the correct hash format?
@inner carbon Strip all newlines and carriage returns.
should be a one-liner, right?
Also next time it's not directly THM (site or VPN) related, #infosec-general
ok
Is some rooms glitchy at the moment ?
Unable to load: https://tryhackme.com/room/btwindowsinternals
That's far to vague to answer
It's a private room
So you're probably not meant to load it.
Lol.. yeah its good if you read the description next to the thing π
Nevermind then 
can i change the country flag of my acount ?
Hi ! I've got an issue with OpenVPN configuration files, I can't download it anymore (got a 404 error when trying to)
@candid knoll Click regenerate. Wait 60 seconds. Redownload.
Well, I already tried that several times, I'm just gonna hope then
fixed by using another vpn server, thanks
Anyone else noticing some slowness on THM tonight ? Like 4-5 seconds delay between Submit and 'answer is correct'
Tonight and last night, yeah - I just thought I had too many devices going at home
(Could still be the case though)
Blaster Room doesn't have history in Web Browser.
How can I see what's the last site visit by user?
To resolve this room...
You help will be appreciate
Look for the CVE that will help you complete Blaster
im so dumb... I created a reverse TCP meterpreter shell and its on my laptop. I just went to listen on port 4444 with nc and saw it was still running and automatically put me on it. I forgot the name of the payload, how can I uninstall it from my laptop?
@solar elbow #infosec-general
How can I look for the CVE?
The hint specify to look into the browser history, and nothing exist in...
Search up blaster CVE
Can I DM you? because I have another problem and I don't wanna SPOIL the Blaster room
Sure
task 6 proxy of burp suite I think the answer to the question "How about if we wanted to forward our request to Intruder?" is ctrl-l
but it says my answer is incorrect
So if i am subscribed on kali. I don't even need openvpn
If you are using in browser machines then no need for vpn but if you're using your own machine then you'll need vpn to connect to the machines.
Hi, i have problem with openvpn! It show this message - Options error: In [CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file: /path/to/file.ovpn - how to resolve this problem?
Show screenshot.
Openvpn error
where did you save it
in the download folder by default
nice
Oh man, this was so easy and i struggled with this for 2 hours.
Really, very, very-thanks!
np
Hey guys. I'm having trouble with OpenVPN, I'm running it through VMWare using Kali and I keep getting "TLS Error: TLS Handshake Failed" when trying to connect. I've read the documentation and it hasn't helped me, I've disabled my router firewall while trying to connect and that did nothing. I am currently running the VM using a bridged connection but NAT and Host Only didn't work for me either. Any suggestions here?
@eternal coral try a different VPN server
@marsh magnet Cheers for the suggestion. I made a new key and tried it over openvpn3 instead of openvpn and got it working that way
I want to do tryhackme on mac but i do not know how to, anyone on mac know how? (I have been using kali linux this entire time and i saw people do it on mac)
@fickle ice ask here #infosec-general - and yes it's completely possible
i'm trying to use gobuster and it says Error: unknown shorthand flag: 'u' in -u
this is what i typed: gobuster -u http://10.10.224.14/ -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/directory-list-2.3-small.txt
Wrong syntax
wdym
Look up gobuster directory bursting syntax & see what youβre missing
Just one smol thing missing
gobuster dir -u <website>
Also this isn't a tech support topic, in future you could probably get away with asking in #general π
Glad you figured it 
How much time does it take to review a writeup here
I submitted mine two days ago I guess and there is no update yet , does it take this much time usually?
Depends on the author of the room, might take some time, some authors don't accept writeups too so i would say wait a week or two
Ahh okay , thanks !
I am getting redirected to 404 when i click on download my config file π
Anyone to help me with thisπ
@eager fulcrum
@desert stream
Anyone ?
Different issue: Can't get thm s3 images to load, seems to connect to the bucket fine but seems to have issues with sending data over, not sure if a region thing but seems to work fine if I use a proxy which is weird
@fast willow please have patience. We all are volunteers here. π
S3 images seem to load forever before timing out for SEA region, checked with @pulsar pier who can't seem to load the thm s3 images too, not sure if anyone else from SEA can check for confirmation
^Having errors with openvpn too here.
Worked fine until yesterday when i got disconnected repeatedly (reinitialization took some minutes then i was back in for a few minutes). Decided i should redownload the certificate and now nothing works at all :/
I used the EU-1 server previously but when i click download now i get a 404..
I then switched to EU-2 and regenerated the ca (also waited several minutes as previously suggested in this channel), downloaded the file but when run, i get
OpenSSL: error:0909006C:PEM routines:get_name:no start line
OpenSSL: error:140AD009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file:PEM lib
Cannot load inline certificate file
which seems to hint at the config file not being valid..
Switching back to EU-1 and regenerating still returns 404 :/
Lastly tried US-Eastern ca which works but websites of the boxes won't load..
I know other ppl who still can download their EU-1 ca just fine so any idea how to fix this?
@proven copper may i ask you, have you been editing/adding anything in the firewall options to make the openVPN work, before it started crashing?
Well yes, that seems reasonable. Although, I've found that some people had to make changes in order to make it work
no, i did not
hey i finished mr robot ctf long time ago and now i noticed it only count 3 answers but others 7 !! and its marked unfinished in my rooms ?
The questions that doesn't have answers probably don't give points anymore
i think we must not showing any answers
Yeah don't show me the answers
I just want to see the checkmarks on your tasks
Like so
I don't see any answers, I don't want to spoil myself.
Ah, okay
So basically, THM went through a point re-balance, so now only certain tasks actually give points
(any mods, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
Its part of the game. I'm not going to award points for just completing the informational, am I?
and hack it again to make it marked as finished
The point re-balance is platform wide or just specifically to MrRobot CTF?
Questions that don't require an answer don't award points
That change was made over a year ago
Can you go to your Dashboard and screenshot where it shows its not complete?
Thanks for the clarification on that, I didn't know the timetable
But people who completed it before that change will get points for those questions
but why its not finished
It is
Please show where its not completed?
What's your profile?
nvm, got it from your screenshot
when i check filter completed the room showing as uncompleted
Hmm.. well, I'm about to complete it. Let me see if I can duplicate your experience
#site-bugs really
Alright, I was unable to duplicate after putting in the root flag. Possibly a bug.
Greetings, I just joined this discord with some questions about points. Partly asked/answered by the question of D3za$t3r up here, there has been a point redesign and questions without answers do not give points anymore since about a year ago, got it.
Moving on, could someone explain what is happening in the tomghost room? See attached image.
The bonus points were changed
I feared as much
People who completed it before the bonus points were reduced got the increased amount
It will be fixed when the next recalculation happens
Ok, good to know. Thanks for the quick reply!
One additional question, the Fowsniff CTF room (https://tryhackme.com/room/ctf) has almost all questions without answer, even questions that have a clear answer (Using nmap, scan this machine. What ports are open?). Not sure if this is the right channel, but maybe that room should have a redesign? I thought about asking the room author but since the room is says the machine is used with permission, suggesting that the machine author might not have made the room, I'm not 100% sure who to ask...
An online platform for learning and teaching cyber security, all through your browser.
Well, that explains the URL :)
Is this how the OpenVPN Access should look like?
Additionally, Networks tab says "You don't have access to any networks."
Yep. Unless you bought throwback you shouldn't have access to any networks
Yes...?
Why do you think something is wrong?
I have asked earlier, but no one seems to have an answer. I'm getting the TLS handshake error, when I try to connect with vpn.
So I'm just checking things
Make sure your system time is correct
If you're connecting from a country that blocks openvpn like Egypt or China you're out of luck.
Otherwise, try a different VPN server
Thank you, done.
Guys i need help when i downloaded EU-regular 2 configuration file and tried to run it i got this error: https://prnt.sc/wdp6k9, after retrying i got same error so i ran the troubleshoot script and got this results: https://prnt.sc/wdp7zb now everytime i try to download EU-regular 1 i get error 404: https://prnt.sc/wdp3jk, i already tried logging out, restarting, waiting 1+min after refreshing idk what else to do i would appreciate any help
Regenerate
Wait 60 seconds
Redownload
Ashu is aware and will look into it when he's around, I'm sure
i already tried it and i still get this error 404
Try a different server then.
i'm getting a similar error
openvpn times out when connecting to eu regular 2 and eu regular 1 gives a 404
US east works fine
I've also tried everything and spent my 3 hours to fix it but nothing worked. I think the problem is with the server and site.
Can anyone tell me when will it fixed?
@eager fulcrum Bro it's cool and I'm sorry for being impatience π . Everyone deserves a break. Happy π
Please don't call me bro tho
btw thanks to all the team for making this, it looks really useful
hello anyone with experience in doing kali usbs?
@earnest bear #infosec-general
Hey guys
can someone help me with something
I usually stream on Twitch with window capture targetting Vmware but the orientation of the stream isn't well viewed
I had to always use Display Capture , which is meh
anyone have any ideas?
or experienced this before? what's the best way to stream playing THM on Twitch , for both visual appeal and readibilty?
I'm going for VIP soon , because the free sub isn't helping me
you could fullscreen the vm
I tried to fullscreen the vm
@lusty scroll try #infosec-general you might get more people that have seen this
but it's not showing the whole screen in my channel
it's tech support right ? @trim moat
This channel is for site and VPN support
I would just not type all of that actually
Directly THM related support.
what does this has to do anything with VPN?
Hi everyone. New to platform this week. If I'm in a room that has me deploy and room and run commands (like netcat or gobuster), is there a way for me to open a shell session into that deployed room OR do I have to open attack server and work from there. I have OpenVPN working fine. I can ping deployed machine, I have no problem connecting to attack server. Thanks
You need your own machine to use for it
Like a kali VM or the attackbox
The while point of the VMs that you deploy in rooms is to hack into them
You don't get given a shell on most of them.
Thanks. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious.
hallo i just completed advent of cyber 2 put at the time i didnt submit my full how do i get the certificate
hello*
fwiw, installing nessus onto one of THM's hosted VPN's takes foooorever
i got it
One of THM's VMs? There's a reason they recommend using your own VM.
yes
right, the vm is probably limited to like 1 cpu core and 2gb of memory or something ... I get that
Hi I am currently working on the very last challenge of "Network services 2" and all of a sudden the machine is unreachable. I have re-downloaded my vpn and THM says that I am connected, but I am unable to ping the machine still.
Have you tried terminating and redeploying
@bronze vale Yeah
I cannot connect to "http://10.10.10.10"
And by VPN IP do you mean "Virtual IP Address"
Then you're not connected to the VPN.
Thats what I assmune but once I connect to the VPN, THM says that I am connected
Ignore the access page
You're not connected properly if you can't access machines on the network
Understood, any idea on what to do?
!vpnscript
Ty my firend
I just ran the "TryHackMe OpenVPN Troubleshooting Script" and this is what It gave me. I feel bad asking for help, but I cannot find anything online relating to this, except on HTB.
Show us the output when you run the regular vpn command please
I have the same issue
OpenVPN connects, but the connection is super sporadic
Run the script then please
it drops out for no reason
[+] Stable internet connection
[+] OpenVPN is installed
[+] tun0 exists
[+] tun0 IP is in the correct range
[+] Only one instance of OpenVPN is running
[+] Confirming connectivity
[-] Something went wrong -- please ask for further assistance in the TryHackMe Discord server, subreddit, or forum
same output
Then show us the output like I asked?
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>
@tardy glen Same to you
Who is this addressing? Because I do no have multiple VPNs connected
oh
Ty sir
on the VM itself?
If you're asking for help, please don't argue when you get given a fix @tardy glen
@tardy glen Yes.
Multiple instances of the same VPN connection it looks like
Try this.
Thank you!!
root 593071 0.0 0.0 8760 4200 ? S 12:25 0:00 sudo openvpn /home/kali/Desktop/eloib_vip.ovpn

yep I did
@eager fulcrum Thank you again. Not sure how this happened but I will look into it.
That's normal
There's one sudo process
One OpenVPN process
It is the leftover process you mentioned
Ok, you're continuing to argue every time
Good bye.

@tardy glen Go through the process that he linked, you shouldnt have the openvpn without sudo

Yes, you should.
One is a sudo process, one is an openvpn process
O sorry, the think you linked says it shouldnt be there
If there's more than one line (that don't start with "grep" or sudo),

not sure if this is where to post this, but can someone help me with hydra syntax? if im accessing a service internally hosted on a box on my machine at 127.0.0.1:8080, how would i specify that within the hydra syntax?
@lone stone #room-help #room-hints. And exactly the same way you'd do it if it was in a remote box.
I wish life wasnt so bland
just my daily check in, HOLO ?
Can you like please stop asking you've been told that when it's released it will be released it just implies you're being impatient
is there like a way to check how many italian users are there in thm?
Month scores are reset at 23:59 GMT of the last day of the month right?
Thank you for your response. So theoretically, the current #1 of the leaderboard is the #1 of December of 2020
And gets the badgy badge
Was it not cleared?
It was not
It is now reset. @little moss
@modern walrus 403 means forbidden. Looks like the website has detected an attempt at Cross Site Request Forgery and has denied access. Try accessing via a computer rather than your phone.

Hello, i wonder why my streaks turned into 1 day by today, is it because new year? My streak has gone over 30 days

any know vpn issues atm?
So I just joined try hack me. And my openvpn profile hasn't even connected once
nah, usually vpn works quite well, today im facing routing issues or some sort of issues, im connected to vpn but cannot access the boxes. it works well over the browser based attack box though
not really tech tech support but i didn't know a better place to post this: i'm wondering why some rooms are made private by their owners/creators? Is it mainly cause the content is outdated or are there other good reasons?
someone please help me i don't understand it
@odd rose Because the admins choose to make them private
Because the creator doesn't want to deal with all the support people expect them tk provide
Things like that
@snow robin That's HTB academy, correct?

I have not received the badge "hacker of the month", does it take some time to receive it?
It probably does. Since this is on the site, I have no insight into when that gets generated. An option is to ask support@tryhackme.com about it.
Did leaderboards restart in every time zone? When I look at my country monthly leaderboards everyone has 0, even when I completed like 3 rooms.
Not all rooms give monthly points
Might be that, that the rooms you completed don't give monthly points
that might be it, but looks odd to me that no one has any points in my country (czech republic), but thank you for the answer, probably my country is just lazy π
Hi Support team, i am facing very bad slowness accessing Throwback machines, i rested it, rebooted my VM, used browser Kali and all same results and same slowness. please can you help . @eager fulcrum can you help?
what is problem
From that, we know literally nothing
i donwload config from tryhackme and put in openvpn
Show us the logs
That is not the logs.
looks like event logs
Hi, anyone can help with my attackbox machine? I am unable to start python http server as port 80. It keeps saying already in use.
And when I try to kill the existing process on port 80, my attackbox will be unaccesible
start python on different port, and just use port in url
that should fix the problem
May I PM you? It may be a spoiler to a room
well sure
Thanks
SSH in or use RDP or VNC
can i use tryhackme without vpn?
no
Thank you
I also have a problem with config file. Error I get from openvpn seems to have some issues with encryption inside the file and new version of openvpn

Yeah, but it won't work

It's totally independent of that warning
I mean, it does something, but not connecting to tryhackme

Click regenerate. Wait 60 seconds. Redownload.
how to be root
Ok, will try, thx
I recommend learning how to use linux. This is not a generic Linux support channel. This is for specific tryhackme related support. The instructions on how to connect to the VPN are provided. Kali comes with OpenVPN pre installed.
!vpn
im root now but not work
Kali comes with OpenVPN pre installed.
Please take time to read and understand the help being provided to you.
why i cant be root
Hey I forget, does the discord update with THM rank on its own?
Usually if you haven't done it manually yes
I have a walkthrough for network services room but do I absolutely need to host it somewhere in order to submit it in THM writeups?
if you need to update it manually, you can just dm the Tryhackme bot with !verify <token>
I was thinking .md file
Netlify or github pages will allow you to host a website for free
Ah gotcha, that makes sense. Just curious. Thanks ya'll
Github pages will do markdown fancy stuff
github and .md files 
also, can it be a link to .md file from GitHub repo? Like even if its not really hosted on a GH Pages website? I mean the link will take you to my GitHub repo directly and show you .md file there
Hi guys, I need help with OpenVPN
I tried connecting but i keep getting this error no matter how much i try
I have used a verification tool (thm-troubleshot) and i don't have a tun0 interface (I have no idea what that means)
Error:
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in VegetaLHZ.ovpn:26: ---BEGIN (2.4.9)
Use --help for more information.
I'm using Ubuntu 20.10
Sorry for my bad english!

I think i have got an error while updating
Same error again...
wut

try exit to get to kali@kali:~
Wait for it to connect like you were told
or wait, yes
i am faacing some serious issues i cant open webpages
and then do sudo openvpn /home/kali/Downloads/yourvpn.ovpn
describe your problem
im kali now
run this
i can't open webpages or ip from vm
is it your installed vm or the attackbox?
i do
i am using opn vpn
but in your machine or TryHackMe's AttackBox?
then wait
machine
it should work
what webpage are you trying to access
if it's something basic like youtube, check your proxy
try running https://google.com
it didn't run
check your proxy settings
If it doesn't show an IP, something is broken
he says it doesn't even reach google
i can connect to it
i wait and nothing happened
but i cant see my ip
ip addr, check under tun0
try reconfiguring your ovpn file in the VPN section on tryhackme and download it again
ok
.
is it good?
there should be your IP
well no
can you elaborate a little plaease
Regenerate
download your config file
it wont run
try ifconfig
i did
and?
i saw some result of wlan0 eth tun etc
i downloaded
ya its there
sudo openvpn /home/kali/Downloads/vpnfile.ovpn
there's your THM ip
yes
i think i have to run opn vpn trouble shoot script
why?
what is exactly your issue, I somehow forgot
haha
π
i cant surf web pages of deployed machines
see, openvpn isn't your issue if you can access the http://10.10.10.10
so u must be using wrong port or try redeploying the box/machine
?
rename it without the ()
opn vpn is the issue i can connect to http://10.10.10.10/ but can't see my ip there
but you can see your ip in tun0
and 10.10.10.10 is a private openvpn thm server
it's not a public domain
that means the vpn isn't an issue
ninja told me once idk

Hello guys,
Not sure if it's a bug but you room https://tryhackme.com/room/steelmountain# seems to be buggy, at least for me.
I deployed the machine and there should be a web server running on port 8080 that is accessible via web-browser as confirmed by a write up.
Restarting the machine didn't work out.
Please let me know what the issue might be.
It takes a decent chunk of time to boot as it's windows
How long did you give it? What's the IP of the instance?
I think the first time I gave it a merely 45 minutes to boot up.
Now it has been up for 15 minutes.
The current IP is: 10.10.65.9 and the port running the service should be 8080
Works just fine
!vpnscript

Check the pins
3rd one down
MTU one
Hello guys. IΒ΄m doing the Internal room and everytime I write an URL. i get this error:
The URL redirects to this one
I can not see any website
Is this a common problem?
I can't login on tryhackme.com
It works now. Thanks!
I trying forgot password but nothing
Could you please show me the command? I don't understand what you mean by "Check the pins".
I am on Mac. I can not set the mtu with ifconfig.
$ ifconfig
...
utun2 (19):
inet address 10.6.49.100
netmask 255.255.128.0
peer address 10.6.0.1
flags UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING MULTICAST
mtu 1500
$ sudo ifconfig utun2 mtu 1200
Password:
Sorry, try again.
Password:
ifconfig: invalid arguments
Sorry, I don't fix macs
Why is the mtu value important here? Can TryHackMe make 1500 mtu work as well?
- I am not tryhackme
- The default value works just fine for 99.99% of people
- It's not something on THM's end.
Would you like to specify
Press regenerate, wait 1 minute, re-download
fck it hackthebox time
Welp that was a severe lack of patience.
@a_good_boi I have the same error
@flint island no need to use vpn if you are using Attackbox.
Currently need an idea about attackbox
Huh?
Whatβs attackbox
It's a machine pre loaded with basic tools you'll need for hacking.
got it now thanks manβοΈ
also when using your vpn you dont do /path/to/openvpnv/
you do that to your actual file
not what you did in the pic
Advent of Cyber, Day 23. Whenever I try to RDP with Remmina I get [ERROR][com.freerdp.core.connection] - Timeout waiting for activation. Been trying for a couple days and once got in once, and it was incredibly slow. The colour depth is correct. Any thoughts? All the other boxes worked (although all the RDP ones were a bit slow)
Day 3 and i'm still getting this while requesting to download the VPN Config fil.
What's the URL?
URL of what?
Also this π© π«
Also did what the script recommended. Please help!!!
Did you to go https://tryhackme.com/access, regenerate, and redownload the file?
Yes.
@hallow valve have you tried switching server? Also wait a min or two after clicking regenerate and then download config.
Ok
Tried that mltiple times.
EU-1 gives 404
EU-2 gives the same error as mentioned above multiple times (invalid certificate)
and US sometimes times out before the TLS key negotiation could finish
@deep trellis ^^
If you are receiving a 404 error after attempting to download the OpenVPN Configuration file please try these steps:
β’ Press regenerate, wait 30s and then try downloading again
β’ Change VPN server and try downloading again
β’ Log out of your account and log back in.
Can someone tell me what's with this cipher issue
Well first
You should run the command without switching to root first imo
And second
I just reinstalled my system and this is happening
Follow the stops above but wait 2 minutes after regenerating rather than 30 seconds
I tried switching to kali
These
Same error on non root users
Itβs not your user
Itβs the files
File*
As you can see it says βcannot load inline certβ or somet
Ya
Just means your file is missing something important
So I should regenerate

Hello guys, I am doing the room 'Upload Vulnerablities' however the servers are quite slow. The first and second exercices everything were working well. However now when I try to access any website: overwrite.uploadvulns.thm, shell.uploadvulns.thm, java.uploadvulns.thm annex.uploadvulns.thm, magic.uploadvulns.thm or jewel.uploadvulns.thm, I have a time out. Everything is setup well, OpenVPN, the command to allow to have access to those websites with the ip of the active machine. Any idea how I can solve it?
hello, Anyone knows, how to fix error configure of Openvpn?

@gritty surge have you put overwrite.uploadvulns.thm these in hosts file?
Has anyone complained about the speed of the rooms today?
yes I put this on my terminal: echo "10.10.212.213 overwrite.uploadvulns.thm shell.uploadvulns.thm java.uploadvulns.thm annex.uploadvulns.thm magic.uploadvulns.thm jewel.uploadvulns.thm" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
it was working here
Are you able to manually go to the webpage
You need to run it before you can troubleshoot using the troubleshoot script.
sudo openvpn filename.ovpn, if that doesn't work then screenshot the error and send it here
Are you from a country which blocks openvpn
You have multiple tun's @gritty surge
!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>
Follow these steps
I am from Uzbekistan.
I can connect via openvpn in 1 January 2AM
Try a different server, I don't kknow if it's blocked in your country
how can i know which servers blockked?
maybe, ping server_ip ?
You're not connected at all
Why
download the file again I started openvpn again
On task 9 of https://tryhackme.com/room/windows10privesc it asks us to run winexe but this program does not exist on the THM Attack box. I've tried googling some and there are a few ancient tips on how to install it on Ubuntu 12.04 which uses now dead links. It looks like quite the job to get it to run on the THM attack box. Am I missing something / could it be added to the box?
https://tools.kali.org/maintaining-access/winexe does it not come with kali?
Winexe remotely executes commands on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 systems from GNU/Linux (and possibly also from other Unices capable of building the Samba 4 software package).
If so, spin up a THM Kali or use your own VM?
the THM attack box is ubuntu
Linux ip-10-10-206-102 4.15.0-117-generic #118-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 4 20:02:41 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux```
Did you read the message after?
Because it seems like you didn't.
I'm aware that it's ubuntu.
ah running a kali in the box you mean
wat
The THM box I get when I launch the attack box is always ubuntu, never kali
I guess I could use openvpn from inside a kali VM on my local machine, but I was sort of assuming that all rooms be compatible with running them from the attack box as well
There's a dropdown if you're a subscriber.
Otherwise, use your own VM.
never saw that it was a dropdown π€¦ββοΈ
Considering you don't have internet access on the free attack box, I'd avoid that assumption
You should re-verify with the bot btw
Does the AttackBox come with Nessus installed?
No.
Hello, i don't have the Hacker of the month badgy badge, do i have to do something? Besides winning the december month-leaderboard ofc
We're you hacker of the global leaderboard
Yes
Can you provide proof?
No hard proof, some pics i've posted trough the days but we know how easy is to tamper with images, the hard proof is in your database records
Did you email?
You're second?
Yes, in that pic, but i ended up first
Yes, though i haven't checked for responses in the last 5 hours, will check again
Why not wait for a response then?
You know that you need to email
You know those are the people you need to talk to
You know the discord can't help you.
