I've told you this yesterday.
Indeed, but it was not implied that i couldn't keep asking for help in the discord, and specially not that the discord couldn't help me
Just be patient.
I understand, i'll have patience, it's new year and we are all with our families, partying, etc. And you mods are few while we are many.
Just want ye all to understand where im coming from, it was very very hard for me to reach that monthly leaderboard, quite stressful i must add, it was a "personal project" of mine and i want the badgy badge to remember my accomplishment
No need to justify your frustration, be patient and wait.
is there an option to see deployed machines in a pro account ?
ok thanks @eager fulcrum
I'm having some trouble getting the deployed servers to respond to an SSH request from my machine. It happened on Day 12 and Day 13 of AoC2. Regardless of what user I put in, my prompt hangs for a minute or two and then says "connection closed by MACHINE_IP port 22". I can ping the server, I can telnet into the server. Any troubleshooting recommendations?
Check the pins, 3rd one down or so, the MTU one
I have no idea what that did (so I'll go do some research to learn of course) but it fixed my issue. Thanks!
I'm unsure if this is for #site-support, #room-bugs, #feedback-and-ideas or #site-bugs ..or somewhere else- https://tryhackme.com/room/rpnessusredux the Nessus install required for this room does not work on the THM AttackBox as it does not have sufficient disk space required to complete installation.
If that needs to be posted elsewhere, please let me know
hi i joined thm with the email affiliated with my school, I was wondering where I could get the student voucher?
!docs student
how we get access to an thm API KEY ? -- sorry
@naive dust This is tryhackme.
You don't unless you're a teacher
If you're a teacher/educator then you email.
ok thanks again @eager fulcrum
I just did that. Please don't use the bot to spam. There's #bot-commands if you'd like to use the bot
ok
on what email i should contact the assistance?
i found it
Hello everyone, i am beginner and i stuck with deploying machines because openvpn won't connect. I get TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity) and then TLS handshake failed. I googled it and tried many things but couldn't fix it myself. Am begging you to help me because i stuck on this 3 days already.
HI
how can I install requests module to python2 ?
okk
Hey Laki , i had the same error and it works now. In what country are you?
Serbia
i found out that it works for me on US servers and not in EU lmao
EU server 2 made that error, EU server 1 couldn't even produce configuration file it just says error on website
Iv have experienced a few times, that my time goes below 1 hour after having run for the first two hours initially allocated, and then turns off. the counter keeps runnning but the deployed machine stops answering at all.
Anyone else have seen this behaviour
@austere condor what machine?
today it happened to relevant
@zealous yoke ^ This one's yours
It's a windows machine thing that CMN has a fix for
But it has to be applied to the room's VM once we know it's broken
@velvet rampart Same error . I have no idea how it happend but i chosed eu 1 regenerated and downloaded and somehow it worked . Try downloading the file on chromium . Love from Romania 🇷🇴♥️🇷🇸
Thank you i'll try ! ❤️
Hi guys/gals I need some help with the Nmap room. I am not able to ping the server from my attackbox or even when I create a VPN(Have tried both VIP configs as well). It just hangs
I am able to PING other rooms just not the Nmap.
i had my name changed and i need someone to regenerate my aoc cert
i have a doubt . How to exactly know that binary we should be interested in once we type that command . i mean why that particular file . how to know that you have to go for that file only !
Can someone please help me? When i deploy and paste IP in browser it doesnt load and my vpn is connected: https://prnt.sc/weuvxu pls help
@sweet owl can you ping the ip to start with and what ip exactly is it your pasting there
im pasting this into browser
and it loads for few mins then just errors
https://prnt.sc/weuzt8 it works when i ping it im not sure what the problem is
it works now all of a sudden lmao idk whats going on thanks for help anyways
It shouldn't say tun1
!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>
Hi there, THROWBACK-FW01 does not work for me (anymore). Is this the right channel to ask for a reset?

Email support.

Hello guys, you need to change the anwser of the task 8 of Encryption - Crypto 101. Your certificate changed and it is not CloudFlare anymore I guess..
Nope, you're being MITM'd
By bitdefender
@gritty surge
#room-bugs for room bugs in future, but this is bitdefender being a terrible antivirus as usual
ahh ok 🙂 Thank you @eager fulcrum
Hi everyone, i want change country in my TryHackMe profile but i can't. How can change country?
I have been unable to copy and paste anything within tryhackme. I am on a mac. Also unable to copy and paste anything from outside either. Cant download files to finish burpsuite room either so cant go further
hey i am facing some serious essues even after connecting to open vpn i cant load into the ssh servers of the ip , i can't run nmap scan, pinging doesnt work , i tried running thm troubleshoot script it also says failed i don't know what to do please help
i am thinking of redownloading config file with another server . is there a better way to resolve this issue any help would be appriciated
@proud tusk do you have a room with a server deployed? When the script failed what happened? Was it a python error or is there something wrong with your vpn?
ya room with server deployed
what did the script say
script was all good tuno was good cooectivity was good but at the last line it says connection failed and said that ask in discord room for further assistance
Couple thing it could be, are you in any countries that block vpns? i.e. Egypt, China. Is your system time correct? Down to the second. Do you have any kind of firewall that may be blocking the connection?
its not like any thing
so you don’t apply to any of those things I just listed
yep
blub
regenerate your configuration file
If that doesn’t work then change VPN servers
if that doesn’t work it’s a problem on your end
this is the issue
Yeah basically that’s uh oh vpn doesn’t connect no clue what to do
if it’s nothing I just listed then you just need to regenerate your configuration file because we’ve run through all the trouble shooting we can
unless it’s the stupid MTU issue which I haven’t experienced
With `ip` : sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200
With `ifconfig` : sudo ifconfig tun0 mtu 1200```
how to know which server is closest to us
@proud tusk can you follow those steps I sent you and let me know if that applies to you
cant see the ip on page
Yup it’s the MTU issue
Just follow the directions there to fix it
@barren birch can you modify the script to check for that as it’s beginning to be more common? If you don’t have time I could code it out real quick tomorrow
exactly which command i have to write in the terminal
Either one
is ip there is my thm ip
And that's why my fix is superior 
i used the command no output
It doesn't provide any output iirc
so now is issue fixed
I dunno test it
It should be, try visiting the site
i am not able to see the ip
Ok, try this
After editing the file reconnect to the vpn and check if the site works
can you elaborate some more please
ok got it
in the script
line 18 isn't it
I think so, don't remember
Just make a new line after the reneg-sec one and add mssfix
i did it
i saved it
still not able to see ip at 10.10..
Are you sure it's the only vpn connection?
ya iam damm sure
That fix should've worked unless it's not an actual mtu issue 🤔
was i supposed to do this
Ye
i think i have to regenrate the file
can you tell me which server is closest to india
No idea, didn't check the list of available servers for ages now
Look at it and decode for yourself. Machines are spawned in aws uk anyway iirc
ok
Hi, I'm on throwback since a few weeks back. Got on the first day fine but since have been been able to connect to any machines. VPN confirmed good tried the MTU fix. Any ideas?
*have not been
finally got issued resolved by tryin regenration and changing servers but why actually people face this kind of issues cos previously the vpn was working fine and then it didn't
no idea 🤔
can i suspend the process after getting message sequence complete
no, suspending it would hang the conection
just place the terminal in the background or make a new tab in your terminal
Hi there, was try to do "Advent of Cyber Day 16 - Where's Santa? " task, but question 1 seems to need update, I've scanned many times, the web server port is 80, I finally look JH video, it is 8000, the field in task only accepts 4 caracters...
port 8000 is closed on my scan...
hi , since 1 day after deploying the machines i was unable to connect to machine ips, its showing connection refused, tried with different rooms all deployed machines are showing connection refused, ( have connected to open vpn)
try visiting http://10.10.10.10 and make sure your VPN works correctly. If it doesn't load the webpage, it's a problem with your VPN
hello
guys i have a problem i cant connect to vpn server
it says Cannot load inline certificate file
i did
and didnt work
and i downloaded the tryhackme openvpn on github
didnt work too
Delete all the openvpn downloads from your system. Regenerate, wait 60 seconds.
Any luck? If not. Screenshots please
Show me your OpenVPN Access Page (where you download the config)
Try change the server to an alternative location (preferably EU still) then redownload after 60 seconds. Delete old config and try again
hi all, i experience stability issues with the MrRobot LAB, ping works, 80 browser too - after a short while not working anymore.
connected with openvpn - any ideas? i rebooted the vm already 2 times
i'll try now with my attack machine in the meanwhile
now it's working again - bit confusing
Run that @inner carbon
thanks widefella, i'll give it a try
i did try that
That won't fix your issue
then what will fix it ?
ohh
wait
i tried ur solution and this happened to me
sometimes it tells me handshake failed
now it told me that
Show me
You can give it a go if you want
Check your system time. Is it correct because if your EU based it does not look like it
damnnnn
omggggggggggg
wait right
ok
i tried to
and didnt workkkkkkkkkkkkk
omg
have you already tried running it as root?
@blazing junco he is root....
i don't think that would solve your problem
what should i do?
Did you tried to open it on Windows and see if it gave you the same error
you never know
yea i did
it did?
same error?
yea
could it be the network where you are connected the problem?
how?
not sure
i dont think so
@exotic elbow what country are you from?
Doesn't matter
^^
As James said. Doesn't matter, OpenVPN is blocked in your country hence your problem
should i start tor service ?
Given its illegal in your country to circumvent the VPN ban, I can't assist you in doing so.
what should i do tho?
Given its illegal in your country to circumvent the VPN ban, I can't assist you in doing so.
Please use the attackbox if openvpn is blocked in your country
Attackbox does not use the VPN and is already connected to the network, you get 1 hour free each day
subscribe then for extended access
lol
As hex has perfectly stated, OpenVPN is illegal in your country and we will not help you get around this (this is against our rules and discord's terms of service). Please stop discussing this topic. Thanks
That doesn't change anything
If you'd like to continue discussing this, as I have ordered it to stop, punishment will escalate.
i dont think the problem is bc its banned here told it used to be working
chill
-mute @exotic elbow 10m Ignored me when I told them to stop discussing a topic, then told me to chill. Please come back when you are ready to listen to instructions.
🔇 Muted j0k8r#7535 for 10 minutes
I am not sure where to post this, and maybe it is just me who was not aware. But if you are using WSLs to solve rooms and want to use a looted ssh-key, then you will have to move it to a wsl-only folder before chmod'ing it.
I just spent a good while tearing my hair out, watching ssh straight up ignoring my chmod 600 id_rsa commands and telling me the permissions where too open - until I moved the file from /mnd/<host-drive etc.> over to /home/<user
Imo you should just install proper VM software, WSL has some issues
Also yes
The way the filesystem is implemented for WSL means Linux permissions only work on the WSL folders
it's not the best to do complex thing (not yet) it has a better versatility for simple use as basic linux commands
I do have a kali VM also, but WSL is just so much faster to use unless I need a full desktop. And so far it has been working fairly well - with the occasional quirk
I mean the networking is also weird so nmap is likely to give you hassle
Thanks -- will add this to my list. Thanks for letting us know @austere condor
Hi guys/gals I need some help with the Nmap room. I am not able to ping the server from my attackbox or even when I create a VPN(Have tried both VIP configs as well). It just hangs
I am able to PING other rooms just not the Nmap
If you continue along the room you’ll see that’s intended 🙂
FML
Thanks dude

There is literally a task on that topic, plus the first question asks you if the machine is pingable 😆
Can i change my username on website? (please tag me upon answering, and thanks in advance)
Im pretty not smart LOL
Email support@tryhackme.com
Thanks
It happens. Don’t worry about it
having trouble pinging the advent of cyber2 boxes (the web ones)
it just wont even ping ive given ti a wihle to start
my pings work fine on other boxes so its not my vpn
@zealous yoke my pleasure, thanks for the feedback
how i can change my country on website?
Click this link and it will automatically update to your timezone
thank you so much my friend
I have been having this problem since last night and its extremely frustrating. I created a task last night and when i save it, it says Success: Task updated and Saved. When i refresh the page to check the updates, everything disappeared. I rewrote half of it so i could come back today and saved it. Same thing with the success and save. Now 8 hours later, most of my work is completely gone. Is there any place that i could get it back? I dont feel like writing it completely again.
Hey guys - silly question - I've done it before but can't remember how I got the web-based attack box full screen?
I chose "exit split screen" but that is only making the room I'm in full screen, and not the box
Nevermind I was dumb... the "Show Full Screen" icon just isn't present while the attack box is loading x'D
Is there any ways you can deploy twice a day? Am currently using free version
You can use your own VM and VPN in
What are support hours or service hours?
I had a chat going with support but I’m not sure where it was left off.
No set hours.
Are you a support rep or do you help with that at all?
No.
I'm a volunteer who moderates the discord
Cool. Thanks 😊
thanks
I lost my streak although I did answer some questions today and yesterday.
email support@tryhackme.com and they can reset it for you
Huh.... is this expected by you all?
Doing task16 in the AoC room.
internetcensus.org grabbing stuff apparently - I was surprised to see a routable IP grabbing headers from the attackbox in a 10./8 network
@barren birch
That's a subscriber attackbox, correct?
yessir I'm subscribed
So it's internet connected, and the server was listening on all interfaces
Ahhh ok
They're not connected via NAT. The instance has it's very own public IP
They get scanned a lot
Just an idea — would it be worth creating a Discord chat for AttackBox? Might be good to let THM dev’s know of script updates and other ideas. Just a thought 🙂
I meant an AttackBox channel
Ah okay, just thought I’d be nice to have it as a channel.
If my wife gets an account as well, if one of us spins up a box, can we both hack on it if we share the IP?
Yeah but the box may start to run slow
Awesome, thank you.
Is there an unexpected load on the system?
I am SSH'd into a deployment and it takes about 15 seconds to respond to just the enter key
I mean what room?
And what machine from that room?
day 20

Hello, just subscribed using my student account. But it charged me $10 instead of $8

You were charged the amount it said it was going to charge you
It would have said $8 if the discount had been applied
Hi i am trying to set up a python webserver using port 80 on the Attckbox VM however seems it is being used for the session to it. Is there a way to also use port 80 for my webserver?
SSH, VNC, or RDP in
Then you can kill the service on port 80
Neither of those are correct
This is not a tech support question
Try reading the manual
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to buy Throwback Labs access, but I want to pay with my company's card instead of mine
if I click on the orange button "buy with card" I will be prompted to enter credit card's information or it will charge my own card?
It should take you to Stripe
THM doesn't store your card information, subscriptions/recurring billing is done via Stripe
Ok, great, it's just to confirm before clicking anything wrong
don't sue me if I'm wrong, I just tested it, I don't have a card registered for recurring THM subscription payments
all good here @eager fulcrum , thanks for the help
is there a way to reset a room ??
just to learn it again....
Email support
Hello today I bought subscription but the price was deducted twice. Maybe I clicked on pay button twice, the problem is that i see subscription renew after one month.

No.

Hello, does anyone have issues in copy pasting from host pc to browser based vm?? or im the only one?
you mean the attackbox?
if it is the attackbox you can copy paste the way it is shown in this message #778305825797177374 message
It doesn't work with firefox however
As firefox does not support browser clipboard access
I dont understand why I am able to get a reverse shell in my Ubuntu VM but not in Kali VM ( I have even set-up networking as Bridge mode).. Any suggestions will be much appreciated..
Error messages? I'm assuming it's an IP issue in the reverse shell code.
helo
I have trace my steps with both the Ubuntu and Kali VM and for some reason I get a reverse shell in the Ubuntu (over NAT) and not through Kali VM (over bridge mode.. also, i have changed it to NAT but nothing). I was connected over the same network, EU-VIP-2. Of course, I stopped one machine and then reconnected with the other. I didn't have both of them connected at the same time. Anyways, dont know if anyone had issues with reverse shells... I will keep investigating.
I'm not sure if this belongs here but
i follow the instruction but i can't access the website
It takes me to google... am i missing something please?
check your hosts file. doesnt look like you piped that echo to tee
oh I see now.. you did but check anyways. check if jewel.uploadvulns.thm resolves to 10.10.221.38
i'm doing another room.. I'll tryb it again but it happened to me twice on 2 deployed machine also i copy pasted the command from the room not like i typed it word for word
Thanks for looking out also
sounds good. np
Run the VPN directly in the VM
do you um not see the big banner that says yes take me to _______
Big banner? No I didn’t get any at the time
Oof
......
I missed that cus it happened twice
Thank you!
This voucher is invalid I think.
@noble fossil it's expired as it says
I just completed the track.
I sorta feel its unfair that I completed the track but I can't get the 10% off, but eh, it was a fun ride I suppose. I figured it was a bug or a glitch of some kind.
Thanks for the clarification.
@civic lodge Thanks.. @eager fulcrum yeah I was using firefox.
Hi, i need a teechnig acces, can you please contact me ?
Do you mind explaining what problem you are experiencing?
its working but
Sorry internet isn't working fine
hey, any issue with openvpn, my connection keeps restart every few minutes and when I have room machine deployed I can manage to get only 1-2min out of before it times out
question 🙂
If using my own VM for attacking, while VPN connection to THM is active the VM has no internet access, is that by design or a bad configuration on my part ?
THX.
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>
@bronze vale thank you
@naive dust you'll need to email, the discord can't help you
hi, i can't open the machine's ip in browser. I can ping that IP, but it is not opening in browser. vpn connected, using no proxy. where i should search for a problem?
@thorn yarrow not all machines run a web server.
but this one does i see in video above the course
and this is web pentest lab "Vulnversity"
Do an nmap scan like you're told.
Ok. You're probably missing the port number.
how to know?
... do you know how to specify a port?
i did in gobuster 10.10.219.74:3333 when im trying to connect in browser to this port it shows me this
Remove 'https' from the front. It's http.
thx man it works!
For network services room IP's are not working and they are showing closed
can someone help me get back my connection
@scarlet talon #infosec-general
@toxic mortar Just ask the question directly
Sorry
No one knows if they can help till we know the question.

Hey, Is the thm ubunutu attack box avalible as a ovf or other image? I really like it and prefer it to kali would like to use it in my virtual enviroment
It is not.
That's a shame. Fair enough
!vpn
!vpnscript
@vernal phoenix post screenshots here and whatever you're trying. you said you're on windows so check out the openvpn logs to see if they have anything useful to troubleshoot
C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN Technologies\OpenVPN Client\etc\log\openvpn_(unique_name).log
I am using portable OpenVPN from USB
The first time it worked...but after that i started getting the error
That's what i get
i think that error means your .ovpn is missing stuff
yeah that's how i understand it too but,i don't know what to do
have you picked a different vpn server and regenerated?
yeah,doesn't work too
try it again and open the ovpn in a text editor and see if it has the inline certs and tls key
Regenerate, wait 60 seconds, redownload
and PRIVATE KEY stuff too
i tried,doesn't work
have you tried the full client and not portable?
yep
but i prefer portable because i have few devices
and it worked the first time
but now it doesn't
I have kali VM
I think I'mm gonna loose it soon ...
- The webattack machine apparently hates me because the display keeps resizing to a small window, ant that is very very annoying and makes-it almost impossible to use.
- If using my own VM i don't have internet access while the VPN is connected (yes the VPN is configured on kali VM not on the host) and that does not help me since i need internet to access sites like crackstation, git ... etc.
Don't use Kali's VPN manager.
I've tried a different browser and a different computer for the webvm without success
uuu, i didn't do that 😄 ....
I'll give it a go,
THX ! 😄
@eager fulcrum Thanks man, you are a life saver 😄
Good morning all, I am working on seperating my personal and professional discord accounts and have found that I can't verify myself using my previous discord token because it is in use by my first account. Is there a way to correct this?
Preferably drop in here on that account and ask for it to be unlinked @fallow pivot
I can do that, thank you
Then I can remove the token from that discord account
Makes it super easy if there's a message, and makes sure you're you
Hello @eager fulcrum would you mind unlinking this account, thank yoU!
!tokenremove @granite lichen
Done, no more entry with UID "@granite lichen".

Thanks a ton!!
hmmm does it take time? Silly bot is still telling me it is used by someone else
@eager fulcrum It's still telling me that the token is being used by someone else....hmmm
!tokenremove 521815367790886936
Done, no more entry with UID "521815367790886936".
@fallow pivot How about now?
Is there any direct way to download task related files into attackbox?
you can use scp,make a python server or use netcat to transfer files @solemn osprey
hey, 2 days ago i had a problem with throwback (i bought with card and i didn't get the product). On the discord I was advised (NinjaJc01 | James) to write an email. I wrote it, and in response:
Hey,
For help please visit our subreddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/tryhackme
Discord:
https://discord.gg/tryhackme
Or the forums:
http://tryhackme.com/forums
so... I back to discordz. Somebody can help me?
I can join to voice channel or something
In short i bought Throwback. I do not have access to it 48 hours after purchase
hey guys and mates. I have any question. now i cannot connect vpn via openvpn configure. who knows ?
@warm spear staaaaaahp redirecting people here
This was throwback+billing related and we already troubleshooted it in the discord
They were directed for a reason
I don't remember solving it. I don't know anything about it.
I have neither the money nor access to Throwback
@main stag I wasn't saying you did, I was commenting that you shouldn't have been directed back here.
och okey. So.. what I could do now?
Reply and say you already tried to troubleshoot it in the discord and were told to email?
Yes. Email back. Reply. As I said.
Sent
@warm spear plz no redirect them back here
Don’t know if this belongs here but I recently got this when trying to load try hack me on my kali
I have not changed any setting since my last use(yesterday)
local proxy turn off?
How often is tryhackme support answering? Has someone some experience?
There's no set response time.
Ok, but I am asking about average response time - day, week, two weeks. I want some experinces about response time.
Is this your passive aggressive attempt of filing a complaint?
Of course not. I was only asking about some experieces with support team.
im now running docker(website) on my VMbox(ubuntu). how can i reach that with vmbox(kali) ?

Hi #site-support / @zealous yoke @feral hedge @warm spear , quick one, I started a server and an attackbox, then I closed the browser, opened it again, went again to the room, and I can only start one machine as it says the limit is 3, however I cannot find anywere in the interface how to stop the two previous machines. What can I do?
cmn and heaven are not support please don't tag them
you have to go back to the rooms you were in and close the machines
ok thanks I will check again the other rooms.

i am getting this error in relevant room .. vpn works well ... machine is deployed ( enough time is left ) but still this error . Can someone help ?!
also its not responding to the pings
Not all machines responds to pings. Check if you can ping 10.10.10.10 this.
Just caught my open vpn doing something funny
it restarted itself
is this normal behavior
It's normal if it's just reconnected.
Yes that's what just happened i guess

I was making an account for THM and when I tried to set up my password it told me it was leaked or something around those lines and it couldn't be used? What does that mean?
it means that it was found in data breaches and it's suggested for you to use a different one and potentially change it on other sites if you're re-using it
Hey
Can someone help me, I recently had kali linux but we had to factory reset my PC
So now i dont have it and im trying to intstall it but i dont know how to install it on my virtual machine. - Not too sure if this is related to VPN nor tryhack me, but trying to get kali installed.
that'd be a question for either #general or #infosec-general
@celest sapphire awesome, well not really but ya know. Sounds good, I'll get to changing my passwords thenXD
Alright thank you, but could you help me though?
I can try
Why is there a limit for the amount of friend request we can send out, is this intended?

Hi, I’ve been having problems trying to ssh into the tryhackme openvpn. I’ll get asked for a password and I’ve entered Tryh4ckm3 (I found this in the Kali room) however I keep getting “permission denied, please try again”. I feel like a noob but i’m not sure how to get around this
what do you want to achieve?
I’m just trying to connect to the network through openvpn. Ive downloaded the app and connected but I assumed you could connect through ssh and use a deployed machine from your own OS? I’ve seen videos of people connecting to through ssh on their windows machines (John Hammonds as one example) but nothing with Macs. I’m trying to connect with the username: root and password: Tryh4ckm3 and then the IP address of the machine I’ve been given
@still dome ,if youre subscribed you can deploy an attack box and ssh into that
guys, i need an huge help with my phone
k thank you
@swift vortex yeah mate I’ve subscribed and tried that but still having issues as the password keeps getting rejected
@still dome are you using the right username ssh root@ip.address
Yep and I’ve been using Tryh4ckm3 as the password, is that correct?
Which room are you doing?
Advent of Cyber 2
What task?
@civic lodge day 3, Christmas chaos
Oh, you are trying to connect to the kali machine through ssh?
Hello guys I have a problem when l am executing a reverse shell, I am very new so the first time I had this i thought that it may be an exception but it happened again if someone already had this or know how to fix it I would be very thankful, This is my error:

And I don't have a folder bash /etc/inittab to change the content
Which OS is this?
I am on Debian 10.0
I can't find upstart either
Does anyone know what to do when I try completing a question and i keep getting the response saying "Uh oh! undefined"?
It's not a file. It's a system daemon. Check the files in /etc/init/

Yes
I unfortunately can't find it in init either
Can someone link me to arch linux iso which doesn't have any bloatware?
Oh okay
Hey, I have a weird issue that came up last night that I can't seem to make sense of, maybe you guys can help?
I was unable to connect to any discord room last night while on my local network. I tried restarting my PC, redownloading discord, and changing the server region for the discord channel. I then tried to connect with my phone while connected to the wifi and still couldn't connect. I turned the wifi on my phone off and instantly connected. I then turn my VPN on, on my PC and was able to connect. I went through my routers firewall and found no issues that would have caused this to happen. I am confused as to why this was only happening to me and not my buddies in the channel as every other application I was useing had no issues.
This isn't a site issue ^
But I would like to mention, sometimes your IP can be restricted
I have been "soft-IP-Banned", wherein I could not access discord without a VPN, lasted about an hour
huh thats interesting! that must be it because it did last around an hour before I could reconnect without a VPN. I appreciate the response.
Hi, I already send many times an email to manually update the price for the subscription, but I get always the same email in response, telling me to send them an image of the username and of the sub price.
Have you tried sending them an image of the username and sub price?
Did they actually change the Linux fundamentals course at all? Or did they just split it into 3 parts, cause i remember i did it before but know it says i haven't done it.
They created three separate rooms for each section
So its still the same content but in 3 rooms?
Might be slight changes but generally, yes
Ty 🙂
hello where would i go to delete my tryhackme account?
Email support@tryhackme.com
I have had connectivity issues and latency issues with the site.
I ran a ping test and lost less than 1% of packets over an hour and my speeds are consistently 20-30 Mb up and down.
Are there any issues currently with the site?

Debating on finally pulling the trigger to subscribe now that I've been more consistently using tryhackme. I am a student and now I can get a discount using my school email however my current account is not connecting to my school email. Is there a way to change my current email and subscribe in order to get the student discount?
It will
Is there a way for me to upload a file on my local computer into my current THM AttackBox?
@naive dust scp would be the ideal one
well for that I'd need to have ssh access to the attackbox, which seems like a bit of a headache to set up when I think about it
It's already set up
If you vpn to THM network you would be on the same network as the attack box right? Wouldn't that allow you to connect them?
Ah well I'm not connected via VPN, I'm just running the attackbox within the browser, perhaps that's my main obstacle
@naive dust how big is the file?
I'm staring to consider rolling my own VM in which to complete THM rooms as well connect to THM VPN and run terminals directly in the VM. That would give me persistence (unlike the attackboxes) and would be a nice way around this.
only about 1 MB
@naive dust i was going to say base64 encode it and paste it into the clipboard, bu thats probably too big
ugh, I originally got the file from a github link in the room (Network Services 2). So I thought maybe if I use wget in the attackbox to grab the file, but the commands keep failing with 404s, probably because the URL I grab from browser changes whether I get it by copying link or navigating and then copying from URL bar
if you are not a subscriber the attackbox doesnt have internet connection so it cant get things from github
I figured it out! For some reason, my text editor puts a - where a word wrap (not an end of line but just wrapping for display sake) occurs. I was using that dash as part of the URL structure, which is exactly why it was failing. Removed that and wget worked like a charm
fml, wget grabbed it an html file instead of the expected bash file
Gotta get the raw link
yep, figured that out
any mods around? 👀
@naive dust why?
wanted verification as an InfoSec Prep ambassador as I'm staff on their discord @sharp bear
ah that does require a mod coolio
Yee :3
Got you 👍
Thanks @candid yacht
No problem
hey guys, can someone help me with this issue, i am trying to do blueprint on tryhackme but im facing this issue with the payload

If you are receiving a 404 error after attempting to download the OpenVPN Configuration file please try these steps:
• Press regenerate, wait 30s and then try downloading again
• Change VPN server and try downloading again
• Log out of your account and log back in.
no no its working now i had to switch from EU1 to EU 2 for some reason...but its working.
can somehelp me dwnload arch in vm?

Hello, I tried searching but could not find an definitive answer.
Is connecting to the THM VPN a potential security issue? It would place me on the same network as everyone else trying to hack right? 😀
My setup is Parrot running in VirtualBox on a Macbook. If I connect to the VPN through Parrot and the VM's network setting are set as NAT, is it secure? Or should I use some other setting?
Thank you kindly. 🙏
Nothing is secure.
Use good security practices and you'll be fine.
@eager fulcrum As a beginner in Linux and pentesting I'm not quite sure on what those good security practices are. 😊
which hopefully are not in rockyou
Well, I did at least change the VM to not use the default passwords. 😅
I'm having a problem where my VPN is attempting to connect to the server infinitely, any feedback is appreciated.
Screenshot?
I've done that approximately 6 times as shown by the profile name
Did you switch servers
Yes
In doing THM rooms, can I reference information from a retailed book?
Huh?
I mean can I make a room out of a book?
Hey, Ninja pinged me. How can I help?
Are you talking about quoting/referencing some information @naive dust ?
To a limited degree I'd say yes. If it's quotes/thoughts referencing them appropriately will be okay. However remember that room reviewers also need to be able to fact check (and also remember that it's an educational site) so it needs to be kept to a minimum
Diagrams and illustrations I'd personally say no - even if you reference them
If I use a VM for THM, should i install OpenVPN on Host, on the VM or does it not matter?
Vm
Thanks @zealous yoke
If you’re using kali it’s preinstalled
Okay, thanks
Hi guys, almost a week ago I wrote an email with request to change my username and provided alternative username. I have not heard anything from support till now.
so you did hear from support? confused as you say you have not heard anything from support till now
no one replied anything
basically no support was provided for this long
for a simple request
I would just like my username to be changed
gotcha, i'll ask about it. keep in mind the support staff is very small and deals with a lot of requests 🙂
sure, it's ok, I just hoped to hear something back, it's not so urgent.
thank you.
it would be nice though to allow user changing their own user name themselves, the way hackerone allows it
for sure, i know its been asked for before. not sure if it's on the roadmap
alright
you also asked when almost all of the team was on break theyre probably still trying to catch up
@cosmic dagger i searched and looks like being able to change your username is in the works. don't hold me to that though 😉
Hiya, want to get into pen testing, cryptography, security and what not. Got the option to buy a Lenovo E590 laptop with an 8th gen i7 and what not. Any idea if it's a good purchase for things of this sort?

Hello. So i just started doing Linux Fundamentals. And in the second part of it I needed to deploy the machine. But when I tried to deploy the machine, it would just give me the machine information without it being accessible. I waited for at least 15 minutes multiple times to see if anything would change but nothing happens. I also am connected with the OpenVPN but it doesn't give me access, neither with or without it. However it does give me access to a machine in the first part of Linux Fundamentals. I have also tried other rooms like Linux Fundamentals part 3 and Vulnversity to see if it works, but the same thing happens.
Not all of them deploy a web browser vm
That second part is wanting you to SSH into it
You can use the attackbox or set up a vm
But the thing is that its saying "Deploy the machine and SSH into the room with the credentials below (which is a username and a password)". And it has a button to deploy the machine but like I said it just gives me its information (witch is the IP and the time remaining on the machine) and won't be accessible.
Yes you have to use the attackbox or download the openvpn and connect to it then ssh into it
You can set up a vm or use putty
tryhackme says that i am from the United Kingdom, but I am not. How can I change that?
i think the only way to change that is sending an email to support@tryhackme.com asking to change it
Right, i get it now. Thanks!
Hi there, I'm thinking about changing my OpenVPN server. I live on East Coast of the US. It defaulted me to one of the EU servers. I am a subscriber, so is it better to use one of the VIP servers, or the regular East Coast US server?
VIP is less traffic, usually faster but it's your choice
Most people, myself included, don't notice a difference
Ok, that's good feedback, thank you
I can't connect anymore with openvpn servers...I tried regenerating and downloading config file again but still can't connect
Can someone help?
is there any issue with the throwback network now?
I"ve just rebooted my machine, re-connected to the VPN but I'm not able to ping any of the servers
doing Network Services 2 room, task 6, seems the instructions about seclists are incorrect for AttackBox. It's apparently not installed and when I try to apt install seclists I get package not found
Are you using the throwback VPN configuration file? Also please post this in #743859653343182930 as it’s important and I don’t want the chat to swallow your message
I'm not on the VPN, I'm a subscriber using the browser based attackbox. Fortunately I got through the last question of the task by educated guess, but they may want to update that material
If I created an account with my personal email. How can I claim the student discount for premium?
Hello - I'm having issues with connecting. It appears my VPN connection is successful, however unable to SSH into the machine (currently Linux3). Attempts to ping the machine were also unsuccessful. I've tried regenerating and changing servers (even went ahead and upgraded to premium and switched to one of the VIP servers). Again, appears the VPN connection is successful, however once on the network unable to reach the machine at the address deployed in my Linux3 room. Any thoughts on what the issue might be?
Just noticed some of the messages from earlier today.. seems others may be having similar issues?
error in overpass series ...... can someone help
whats the syntax to xmas scan x ports? i'm using sudo nmap -sX -p0-4999 -vv 10.10.159.144 but its not giving me the correct amount of open ports for this module, so i assume im not doing it correctly.
I want to change my username in tryhackme is this possible 🙄
Yep email support@tryhackme.com
I'm 99.99% sure any error is user error. Just ask your question directly.
Yes, if you type the tag in the search box
Hello guys, hope everyone is fine, I have a small question regarding how points work, I solved the Mr Robot root, yet I got only 90points, whereas everyone else on the scoreboard got 210
Am I missing something? thanks
questions that don't require an answer used to award points
not anymore ?
That is indeed what "used to" means
whatever, thanks
Hi everyone, I'm getting an error when trying to connect to tryhackme.com with my configuration pack.
when entering the following command @ the terminal
openvpn hustlebunny29.ovpn
I get an error:
ERROR: Cannot Open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory (errorno=2)
Exiting due to fatal error
I'm using the WSL, has anyone else encountered this error?I tried googling but no luck:weary:
WSL will not work with the VPN
WSL lacks the low level networking support that you need
Use a VM or the attackbox
and theres no way around it?
It's not real linux
Oh okay, thank you for your help.👍
When you use Windows, just use OpenVPN for Windows.
hello i know this is not related to THM but i would be glad if someone could help... Im having troubles with updating/upgrading linux it tries to update zfs but fails may i dm someone that know a bit about this topic and help me?
you should visit stackoverflow. https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=zfs+update
I am connected to the VPN but cannot start kali linux as my attack box
anyone know what i am doing wrong?
i dont see my problem on stackoverflow i will try to research it a bit more but im pretty lost ngl
Guys I'm still having problems with connecting to vpn
Udp: link local: (not bound)
UDP link remote: ..
That's where it stops, fails TLS handshake and restarts
I tried turning off firewall but didn't help
Are you in Egypt or another country that blocks openvpn?
Hey guys, seem to have lost my streak, I've been active for the past week and literally just got the 7 day badge
Hey, I may need some tech support with a room I made, and I think it's AWS related
do all the ports that a room uses have to be open at machine start?
No
Both of my boxes use port knocking which opens the ports after the box is booted @stray cove
also, some services can take more time to start than others, so it is normal that in a box some ports will open after
Yeah ok, so probably knockd isn't starting properly
Aws hard codes the interface name to something (eth0 I think?) so you have to change the interface name in the knockd config. To test it either change your interface name locally or just make sure it works and then when you upload change the interface name in the config and yolo and test
I’ve done both ways, both worked
ah that would do it
I can't change it on the fly
I'll have to use eth0 and yolo
ah frack windows update fracked by hypervisorless windows boot
On the fly I meant, test locally with ens33 or whatever your interface is named and then just change the config when you upload and pray
that's what I'll have to do, it works locally
Versus change the interface name locally so you can test it works when you hard code the config
Cool
Should work then
I need to disable the hypervisor first to make the change

You could’ve checked by going on a thm box and checking what the interface name was haha
Just go to learn Linux, ssh in and check the interface
What do we do with our Discord token?
!docs verify
thanks
yes, I'm dumb...
even the attackbox
Oh that too haha
Trust me, I did 😅
anyways, just confirmed that all the flags are available, so, whee
I'm sure the testers would have found the too though
(port knocking is a badterrible idea, don't do this in prod)
OpenVPN will not connect to the server
Both my boxes have port knocking and I implemented it on every server at work don’t attack me like this
I'm not
It worked few days back
I don't know what to do anymore
Hi is there a way to get verified it says my Token is already used
hmmm not sure how discord works
!docs verify
Maybe but can I have two accounts on same mail with discord 🤔
Is there a way to kick off the other user because I can't for the life of me remember what account it was
For your token to be removed from another account you'll have to ask a mod but you'll need to know what the other account is called
Thanks for the answer, I have the current account with the current token, I don't think I would get the same token for the older account
For the current token it is saying that the token is already used
which is strange
Someone with acess to the database could possibaly check who has verified on discord with this token?
Still no one has solution for vpn not connecting?
Are you in a country that’s blocks vpn?
I found solution, if I can help anybody this was the problem
In my router settings there was this option firewall protection:
When I set it to high it doesn't work
When I set it to low it connects
But then again I dont know what they mean by high/low as its not specified
Maybe some of my ports are now wide open and I don't want that
Any networking senior here to help? 😩
you should find out if your router firewall will let you whitelist applications
Hey guys can I get some help connecting open VPN
!vpn
@ember island
yes?
Thank you, but I wouldnt be asking for help If I havent already checked everythin out
So what’s your issue?
The OpenVPN once I installed the profile just sits there and loads and will not connect to the DNS
Could you post a screenshot or the log?
How can I re-verify my token since someone has used my token already
How did someone use your token?
Honestly, I have no idea where the problem is. I thought my email not the same but token is key to verify the door (doesn't matter who hold the key (email)).
Is it another discord account you have with the token?
I just use one discord account. I use many mails for different purposes.
When you try to verify it says that another account is already using the token?
"Sorry this token is already used by someone"
Well, i don't know what to do in this situation
I think this is a muir thing but I'm afraid to ping him
Oh! I just find out I have another account
But different token
You want to remove the token from this account?
No this account used to be THM paid user. Now It's deleted
Need to re-verfiy my new account ^^
hi
is there any way to change username ?
for now you will have to email support@tryhackme.com
