Yes
So, currently there is a strange problem wherein Kali Linux VMs are unable to ssh to some rooms. I am not sure why this is happening 🤔
If it takes a while before closing the connection, it's the MTU issue
James would the MTU solu-
Okay, cool @mystic harbor does the terminal hang before giving you the error?
I mean, does it take a while to give any output?
Yup
I mean
And you didn't close the VPN terminal otherwise?
(Also it's the top command there)
Let me rephrase
Please enter this into your terminal:
sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200
sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200 this bit
Sorry 😄 I am currently very tired and this is my first time actually suggesting this solution.
"Cannot find device "tun0""
Do you still have the VPN running?
I do not see tun0
Did you close the terminal running OpenVPN
When it says "Initialization Sequence Completed", leave it like that, do not close the terminal window or cancel the operation.
I didnt
Hmm, it should be showing up if the VPN is still running 🤔
Hmm, it seems so. Try ssh again:)
IT WORKED thank u so much
Happy hacking!
How do I post screenshots into chat? I used to be able to just Ctrl + V..?
You need to verify with the bot
!docs verify
Cheers
It's a spam mitigation thing
I am having issues with the time taken to conduct nmap scans. Initially I thought it was an issue with my OpenVPN connection, but the debugging script says everything is all good
I am trying to get through the network services room
Okay I'll take a look
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this (please redirect me if necessary), but how long do writeups usually take to be reviewed? I'm just curious if that's a pretty regular process, or if I need to let someone know it's been submitted.
They're reviewed by the room creator, not THM
So there's no expected time
tyvm!
Hello i am facing issue on openvpn its is connected but when i do a nmap scan it shows no ports open excepr dns
I tried regenerating ovpn file many times
!vpnscript
I used openVPN troubleshoot script and it says I have no openvpn installed
im on a kali machine and I can connect to the openVPN room and the tuturial room but when I go to any other room it just dont connect
this kali machine is on virtual box, and Im in NAT mode, I already tried in bridge too but nothing changes, im trying fix this in last 2 days...
In the network services room I can't get a text file from a ftp server, even though I'm logged in according to instructions
specifically task 10 question 3
this seems to be an issue only when connected through openvpn
for some reason when I login to the ftp server with attackbox it lets me get the text file
Hi all, i have re-joined tryhackme and re-joined a learning path. When i click on the rooms i have previously done, all the tasks are green and completed but they arent showing as completed on the learning path screen.
From my understanding i think that staff is aware, and it is intended for now, due to them looking at changing the code base. When the changes are finalized your issue should be fixed as well
aww lovely, thank oyu
anytime
I was doing a comptia pentest + there is a room named 'attacktive directory' . I have completed all the tasks in the room but the question is showing incorrect even after I write the correct answer. What can i do to mark correct i verified my with many walk through.
I used openVPN troubleshoot script and it says I have no openvpn installed when in fact I have it installed
im on a kali machine and I can connect to the openVPN room and the tuturial room but when I go to any other room it just dont connect

can someone help me?
what happens when you run openvpn with your config file?
it sounds like you are talking about two separate things connecting to rooms or connecting to vpn, keep them separate for the moment
it runs normal
im able to connect to vpn no problem, I can even connect to the openVPN tutorial room, but when trying to connect in other rooms the page is unable to connect
is it necessary for the writeup to be unlisted before it is accepted?
Yep
Any idea why when I download PuTTY and try to connect for the Linux fundamentals it keeps says network error:connection times out
Are you connected to the vpn?
You cannot write to whatever your current local working directory is.
solved thanks
I am able to conneect to tuturial deployed room and my VPN is working but i cant conect to any other deployed room...
Not all VMs run a webserver
Therefore you can't just put the IP in your browser and expect something
hey guys, i'm currently encountering a technical error in the archangel machine.
i tried to do this with my machine and with the attackbox and this error only appears when i'm in my local machine
is there any way that i can receive a support without saying here the problem since i think that it's a little spoiler?
@obtuse ice No, not yet.
@bronze vale Hey, I am not able to give my token!
It is showing it is used by someone else!
alright, i'll wait the 6th
@barren birch Can you help me?
Mahdi - Theres no need to tag everyone 🙂
@calm wolf Did I not sort your token for you task week?
It definitely worked back then because you thanked me for it, and I have no message history with you, which means you've changed your account
I didnt mean that
Jabba removed it when i asked for it because I was having some issue!
But I am not able to use it now!
You have definitely changed your discord account
Ok, why are you changing accounts so frequently?
hackerone ctf site down ?
uhh...is there lag on your guys end? I'm interacting with the vm attackbox and it's crazy slow and hanging
in a way I've yet to see til now
That's you looking at the headers in devtools?
I don't know what that means, but that's the page that opened, and when I refresh, it's this
after I logged in
it sent me to the url https://tryhackme.com/vpn/my-data
i cleared the parts after the first '/' and it's normal now
guys can anyone help im trying to run cms fuel exploit an always getting this error:SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(r.text[0:dup])?
this is my first time doing this and I am getting an error, any idea why?
That's the wrong IP @fossil walrus
You need to use the IP of the machine you deployed, that will be displayed under Active Machine Information
You're currently using the IP of the attackbox
I dont see the Active Machine Information
well, more like, idk where to see that
I can do a google search but like I dont see this
Click the green deploy button with a cloud on it
You have only deployed the attackbox at the moment
The attackbox is a machine you fully control that you cam use to hack the target machines
The machines you deploy with the green buttons are usually your target machines.
I see, it makes more sense now

@regal glacier #infosec-general
Hi - i am in the scripting challenge " [Medium] Gotta Catch em All" and my AttackBox does not return anything on the http://IP:3010
and hence i cannot get started, could you please help?
i figured this out - i was putting my attackbox's ip's not the target ip
sorry for confusion
Hello everyone i'm having an issue. I'm pretty new so i'm still learning how everything works. Anyways, i'm having an issue with Linux2 task 3 Putty and SSH. I open Putty and type in shiba2@10.10.165.11 but when I click open I get this error message that says "Network error: Connection timed out" am I missing something?
Are you connected to the vpn?
vpn?
!vpn
You have connect to this to be able to shh in
thanks!
Hi Everyone, i am at room Linux fundamentals 2 and when i connect using ssh shiba2@ip and enter the password, it keep giving me an error message that "permission denied". Am i doing something wrong? i tried Kali, i tried on my attackbox as well but doesn't work at all. I tried Putty as well but keeps getting this same message. can someone help?
That's the wrong IP
You need to click the deploy button. The green one with a cloud.
yes that's what i clicked
ok i clicked the deploy button and than it take a while and gives me the IP on the top next to my streak symbol. I used that ip. that's the right ip?
No
That's the IP of the attackbox
What deploy button did you click?
The green icon with a cloud
I'm having an issue myself, where it seems every minute or maybe a bit longer I start getting time-outs, / ping stops working, then another 60 seconds later or so it comes back
I ran the VPN Script and it didn't find any errors
past week or so i've been having it so I thought it might be due to not being subscribed so I subscribed and it still happens
Thank you so much again, it worked for me. Thank you for teaching me. You're the best
Thank you so much, appreciate all your help today

with my issue, like right now my VM can ping google, however timing out to 10.10.10.10
and now 10.10.10.10 is responding again (timeout from req 17 > 142)
!vpnscript
I ran this a number of times and get different results (depending on if I can ping the 10.10.10.10 address or not really)
Can you show us the output in your terminal of the actual openvpn command?
all of it? (from sudo > sequence completed?)
every few minutes this will do an 'inactivity timeout' which from what I read is just a default 5 min thing for openvpn but it reconnects a lot faster than my connection and doesn't always eem to relate
It should not say tun1
tun1 implies you're running multiple connections to the VPN, or multiple VPNs
ususally it is tun0 but I think that vpn checking script might do something that creates tun0 and doesn't close it?
Not without asking you, it doesn't
it seems to only ask me when I have the vpn already open
ok well I restarted my system and now openvpn is tun0 i'll see if I still get timeouts
Show the output of your openvpn command
Change server
will try it, thanks
ok just to confirm after switching I no longer have the problem! Thanks a lot @eager fulcrum
i have same issues
did you try another server?
Try the same solution then
Run the VPN script first though
can't believe I put up with that for two weeks without asking/changing server lol
i discoverd it while doing koth
i need help using tryhack me
i was connected with open vpn and everything( The website said that I was connected) and I had the room deployed but it did not work
the machines need 10 second to open
are you sure that you are conected
advent of cyber 2
What are you expecting to happen?
You won't get a popup
ik
the ip will not connect
What do you mean?
try to ping it
I tried to put the ip in the search bar and it just loads forever
try to ping it from terminal
not every server you deploy will be a website, and not all websites will be on the default port, make sure to read the instructions associated and sometimes it takes a while for the servers to start, post screenshots in the relevant help room with as much information as possible
I am having issues using zip2john. I get a command not found on the tryhackme attack box. Is there something I need to do to access it. I tried apt install jonh.
I found it in /opt/john. I cd there and try the command but still get command not found.
You'll need to run it like a binary, or with python2.7
Gotcha. @eager fulcrum thanks.
I won a king of the hill, but the badge is still not awarded to me?

try that script as well and see what it reports
@nova quail regenerate your config file. What server was it set to?
eus 2 ig
nah
ok, yeah do what James advised
thnx man it worked
can anyone by chance help me with some apache log poisoning in vc? I don't need help for a specific room but rather with the concept
is there a way to change the layout of rooms, because sometimes i see other people with numbers next to their questions?
if i want to use vpn at the host level instead of vm level
i only need to portforward the rev shell ports right?
other than that do i need to do anything?
and probably need to make sure that no server at the host is running on that port
I think it would get quite complicated for some boxes
true. i am thinking if it's worth it or not. 😄
but if you are good with networking and troubleshooting go for it
well, what are the advantages
i don't really see many
yeah i want to use 1 vpn over multiple vms.
but that is not possible to do .. so this is what i am thinking.
yeah sounds messy, but good luck with it 😄
hello, Is the nmap -p- broken on hackbox?
@reef loom no
For the metasploit room, when i set lhost to my own tryhackme ip, i enter show options and still shows my own ip addr?
@cursive kindle #room-hints
having some errors with dirb throwing me NOT_FOUND code. reran program and it started the dir scan then timed out half way through.
dirb http://10.10.212.154 /usr/share/dirb/wordlists/common.txt
dont think it anything in particular to the dirb package. gobuster is also unable to connect
also I am able to ping the machine.
which room is it? maybe is a different port?
Yes you just missed a step that you need to do.
Hey. What is the email for support please
!vpnscript
Either email works
Thanks
Both go to the same place
Could i reset my token or get a new one?
Why's that?
I don't know why my current token is being used
Did you have another discord account?
Yes, I have but it's for another account of THM, Not the new one.
I think this is one of my mistake but I don't really remember why.
Probably gonna best best for you to come back when Muir's around so he can do token lookups and stuff
Do you know what time will he in?
Some sensible time GMT
Thanks I will note his name.
MuirlandOracle, the lead mod
Is there any way to reset account progress?
Send mail to support@tryhackme.com.
Thank you!
@upper panther pls write your question here again
hi all.. im pretty new here. just installed kali linux and did the 2 rooms OpenVPN and Tutorial but i still cant ssh or ping to machines.. any ideas?
- Are you connected to the VPN?
- Do you have a machine "Deployed"?
- Does that machine actually have SSH or respond to pings? Is there a specific task you are trying to complete?
- What errors are you getting?
I cannot ssh into tryhackme machines from my kali
I can ssh into other machines tho
Also I can access those same tryhackme machines from my termux(Android)
Don't know the problem with my kali
Any solutions?
Are you connected to the VPN?
Yeah
can you use other things like NMAP/ping?
Yes almost anything
But not ssh
Is there an error?
Connection refused after waiting for 2 minutes
Do this:
Enter this into your terminal while openvpn is running:
sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200
hello
Will try
Exact? Or change IP or something?
are you OK?
Exact, do not change it
no

Hi Ive been trying to set up the OpenVPN however it just seems to be timing out. Ive had a look at the having problems section and nothing seems to apply
!vpnscript

Im on Windows is that not for Linux?
hey termack I have a question too
I'm using a virtual machine and my os is kali linux. When I try to use my vpn file it'says a lot of things and I can't understand anything because I'm a newbie. Can you help me if I send you a screenshot?

no need to worry about showing the vpn ip, the tryhackme network is monitored
okay then it's coming in a min
I have completed the Blue room but don't have the badge. Was that a badge that was added later?
it doesn't let me to send a photo
Oh for some reason just changing to eu-regular one resolved it
Oh wow I had no idea, thanks! I was just looking at the badges trying to work my way through all of them 🙂
Yeah I finished it like close to when it first came out (been on the platform near creation) so I'll email
I used to have that badge too but I guess they weren't fans of participation trophies as they removed it 😆
Same, congrats
Legacy badges can be legacy 😛 I wouldve been alright with that. Always believed in this platform. So happy to see it become a staple in the industry as it is today

Once you see something on the lines of Initialise Sequence Completed then it has loaded correctly
it this ok?
Are you from a country that blocks openvpn?
Turkey?
batus naber knk
ok let me try
I'm not sure, you might need to check
Your internet service provider may also block openvpn
I used it before
@ember crest It's okay, I saw you were struggling a little, didn't want to waste anyone's time :)
and everything was cool way back then
Are you using a Virtual Machine?

Hey guys, I had to work late today and missed my streak by a little bit...
Am I screwed or is it possible to get it restored via tech support?
but I wanna just ask @warm spear like you were told not to have us do x'D
just teasin - I need to lookup the support email
If anyone else come's across this it's: support@tryhackme.com
Thanks @ember crest
I was just bein silly - but I might - thanks 🙂
That seems best - appreciated!
did skidy really say that??
for a streak reset?
oh muir isnt my boss
skidy / ashu are :))
@warm spear says - "not the boss of me!"
- If they did a 30 day streak, 2 day break, and then an 80 day streak I give them the 30 days as it's been less than 7 days.
- If it's been more than 7 days, ask them why. Weddings, extra long holidays, mourning are all fine.
the rules for streak resets
the community* diagram maybe
I don't know if I qualify - as I only had a 19 day streak, but I just had a long day of work and I'm pretty certain it's barely been more than 24 hours...
And thanks for popping in!
I emailed support so no worries if you have other better stuff to be doing x'D

gotcha. Will move my question over there, cheers.
Hi! Quick question - any way to reset overall progress of a thm account?

Hello!
On #announcements channel 2 days ago was announced "A new room is available! " (they talking about toc2), but on the toc2 page "and this room is 173 days old."
How it works? If this room is 173 days, why on this channel they called it "new"?
How to filter/sort rooms by adding date or how old is room?
?
Is there a way to find all rooms that was released last month?

I'm new to tryhackme and currently going through the "linux fundamentals part 2" room where you have to ssh into the machine. When i click deploy, the active machine title says "Linux Walkthrough (SSH-Only)" but after 1 minute when the IP address shows the title changes to "Linux Walkthrough (web-based)" and i can't ssh in. I'm assuming this is the wrong machine. Could anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks!
Any ideas why attackbox gives this error?
If you are using the TryHackMe VMs and you are recieving an "Authentication Failure" error, please follow these steps:
- Terminate the attack box
- Load one of the Kali VMs and terminate it once it has loaded,
- Boot the attack box up again :)
It's the same machine and you should still be able to connect if you're connected to the VPN
this may be a stupid question but when i run sudo openvpn <config> and connect to the vpn is all traffic routed through the vpn or just the traffic that from terminal
Just traffic to the THM network, but system wide
It doesn't touch your internet traffic
ah ok thanks
need some help getting connected to try to do the web fundamental mini ctf
i imported the config to network manager becuase i keep closing the vpn tab
now i run it through gui
I go to the terminal and type up....curl http://10.10.150.193:80/ctf/get
and get....... curl: (7) Failed to connect to 10.10.150.193 port 80: Connection refused
Are you connected through VPN?
Are you sure it's on port 80?
My vpn wasn't connected it says exiting due to fata error
But when I refreshed the page it tells that it was connected
Maybe try to regenerate the vpn config?
yes, I am connected to openVPN. I first deploy machine then start attack box and then openVPN and click on 54.76.30. 11 and hit connect
I don't know
how do I check to see if its on port 80?
nmap
do I need to download nmap or just do it through the attackbox?
whatever machine you want
so while inside of the attackbox where do I need to go to check?
Maybe research on nmap. It should be installed on attackbox by default. There is also nmap room which you can check out. :)
I'm in nmap and what do I need to type? nmap -sS -O -p80,8080 and which ip address?
@sweet robin here's a link to the nmap room, it will help a lot if you've never used it before.
sorry for interrupting but it is always the same problem for me i cant acess this machine
I can't see any instance with that IP address running atm @calm violet
means you entered your username wrong but I've had a look and there's no machines deployed on your account
Refresh the OWASP room and see if the card is there / that it hasn't expired (:
Oh wait
I don't think I'm supposed to share that endpoint LMAO
Go to https://tryhackme.com/api/running-instances and see if there's anything running
Yes I know you're subscribed that isn't the issue
I'm saying that I can't find anything that has the IP address of 10.10.235.236 that you have in your browser (:
my current one is 10.11.27.247
That's your TryHackMe IP address
yes
You'll need to use the IP address of the instance that you deploy in a room
this is frustrating....can't even access this stuff
It's displayed in a card at the top of the room once you deploy it
Like this @calm violet
how so? help us to help you
yes yes i know
i teminated that machine
thats why
u didnt get anything
10.10.191.138
I just want to connect and be able to do these exercises
What task is it that you're trying to do exactly @calm violet ?
this one if for task 8
Have you checked out the openvpn & tutorial rooms?
I'm trying to do web fundamentals task 5
everyone keeps saying to check on nmap to see if its on port 80
You keep on giving me different IP addresses @calm violet
sorry for that i terminated the other machine accidentally
I see 10.10.200.53 now
But I don't see anything in the the tasks for that day that says you access the IP via port 8888
The task tells you the URL that you need to access (:
It's 8081
u mean 8888 ?
Can we stick to one thing at a time
Task 8 (the first task we were talking about) is just normal port 80
yes
And you can access that okay?
i tried another time i can access only the home page but not for login
I went to openVPN room....followed the instruction to connect openVPN ......it connected and then I went to the last step to the http//MACHINE_IP
and no website
that "MACHINE_IP" is just a placeholder. It gets replaced with the actual IP address of the instance that you deploy -- you need to use that
@sweet robin if you verify you will be able to post screenshots which might help us know what you are looking at a bit more
I.e. @sweet robin
yeah, like that screenshot, you have to hit the green "deploy" icon and wait a good few minutes for the system to boot and become ready
It looks like you may have some extension blocking scripts/assets or something like that
I can open that IP:8888 fine. Try incognito
okay....I deployed the machine .....clicked on the ip website .....and it was confirmed
lets see if it works for the other exercises
i am playing the song in the jungle
Only other thing that I can think of is MTU fix here #site-support message @calm violet
awesome 
Thank you....I was able to go back into some previous exercise rooms I hadn't completed like linux fundamentals and finish them
Im having issues starting my attackbox, so maybe?
ok..thanks
Does anyone knows answers to tryhackme.com/room/startingoutincybersec ?
@patent burrow we don't give out answers here. We provide help and hints. This is the tech support channel.
Oops sorry! But could you still take a look at it? Thanks! New to hacking!!
It's designed to be answered with some research
So
Has there recently been a change to the website, as it appears the rooms I've previously completed have been reset? I was working on the"Complete Beginner" series.
It no longer shows the checkmarks, and one or two rooms have been revamped, but I don't know what timeframe you're looking at here
guys
no matter what i do,my badge does not increase
from 5 to 6
although i have spent my entire day solving ctfs and completing rooms
what a day :/
What do you mean by that? @naive dust
each day it supposed to increase
omg i cant believe i am making a deal out of it,but it is just annoying me 😄
You mean streaks?
yeah
It counts for each day you answer a question not each question you answer
If that's what you mean
if you mean your level if you click "Dashboard" it should show you progress to next "level"
screenshot where you are talking about
but i have spent this whole day in thm
the flame icon representing the streak of days in right up side
oh, its based on your timezone (if your country is correct)
ohh
it should tick over at midnight
you have to only do 1 task a day to get that up its not about time spent
i knew that,lol
Hi all, I'm having trouble installing Loki on the Yara room on task8.
I tried to install requirements with the pip install -r requirements.txt but i get an error
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:```
I feel like i was the only one having this problem and i didn't find anything interesting on the web.
you can try to install that module independently and check your error at that point, #room-help would be a better place to ask this question though
oh ok
i'll try that
Hi. Does anyone know what date advent 2 started in December? Was it 1st of December? Thanks
@lilac summit 1st december was a friday and 2nd was a saturday. that saturday was 2nd advent as far as I'm concerned
Yes it would have been the first of december
They're asking about when a specific event started
Thanks all

hello,
im trying to use the vpn on my own kali box and im running into this problem. i use the command: sudo openvpn /path-to-file/file-name.ovpn and the return i get is: options error: In [CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file:
any feedback would be appreciated
Make sure you are on Linux, cuz sudo command won't work on Windows
If didn't work: make sure "/path-to-file/file-name.ovpn" actually points to the file that you downloaded from TryHackMe.
If that didn't work try redownloading the file-name.ovpn
If not, ping for more assistance.
Good Luck.
@foggy moat
@blazing nexus it's a kali Linux VirtualBox. I tried redownloading with the same result
Make sure you are using the right file name and path. If its right try regenerating config and wait 2 mins before downloading and try again.
Hello,
Hello,
My openvpn tunnel gets re-established after every few minutes. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
email support@tryhackme.com with your current username, the username you wanna change to and why (:
@finite kelp
thanks

I had a similar problem, changing server worked for me, but try the script and re-generate your config file could also help
!vpn
find / -user suhann -group guhaan -size 50c -type f 2>/dev/null
Can somebody explain me the meaning of last option
2>/dev/null
@velvet yoke did you found solution of this? I m also facing issue in this tried putty and ssh both
What is the problem? @cyan fox
In linux fundamental 2 part task3 ssh amd putty configuration after typing password access denied appearing
You're using the wrong IP most likely then
Ip which is given on top i entered that
@cyan fox My problem was because I wasn't connected to the vpn. Sounds like NinjaJc01 will get you fixed up though.
Oky thanks@eager fulcrum
Use the IP under Active Machine Information
Hi.
i sent email once again to suppory@tryhackme.com
and don`t get any respond..Do you can help me some of admins?
I understand..then when they work?
hello everyone, how do I change my country on tryhackme? i cant see an option to change it. i wrongly selected it during registration.
This will automatically update your timezone
it works. thank you Blackout 😗
I have problems in ssh connection it says connection refused at port 22
I am facing this issues in koth
But I am facing this issue for about 5 machines
I rescan again and saw that the port was opened
Oh okay sir
But, I checked in private program with my friends but I am facing the same issue
Try it outside of koth.
Ok sir
Hello, I'm on a room that I have to install a software running on java 8 and it deosn't work 😦 I don't understand why and how I can get it work
I am facing the same issue again 
the java one ? 😄
no, about ssh connection in koth
I am facing this from the start of my koth i.e from yesterday
Did you ignore what I asked?
No
Have you tried "java -version"?
Did you try it outside of koth? @naive dust
No, I will try again
@naive dust
Sorry I haven't noticed in your first screenshot
haha np 🙂
Basically you have openjdk but you are not using the right version of it
The command to switch should be
I already switch it ( you can see that on my screenshot )
sudo update-alternatives --config java <== with that
@eager fulcrum I tried in overthewire, my ssh works fine
But, in koth It wasn't working for me
Ok sir
Substitute --config java with --set java
This worked for me on Kali 2020.3
@naive dust Substitute cmd not found
Noo ahaha I didn't explained well. I meant, this command was right but change the "--config java" part with "--set java"
hahha I feel stupid now 😄
let's test 😄
@naive dust it asking me for a name and a path. I have the path but I'm not sure about the name
@naive dust I'm not sure to get it
Indeed why is your jdk called like that? "Hotspot-jre-amd64"
It should be openjdk-8-jdk and nothing else
Did you downloaded the package with
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8?
kali removed this packaged
@eager fulcrum I am facing this issue outside the koth too, I used ssh in kenobi room
Because the tool your are trying to install with dpkg (spark) need jre which is a subset of jdk so you only need to install that one
!vpnscript
Also what IP are you using?
Try starting from scratch with this command @idle marlin
Then again this one
But with the new path
10.10.208.40
Try a different VPN server
Ok sir, Thanks
@naive dust please give some more context
Like. We don't know anything about what you're doing right now.
...the web?
What IP? From where? What room?
Why are you assuming you can do that?
Not all machines run a webserver
Not all machines that run a webserver run it on the default port
Follow the instructions in the room
To the letter.
Start from the beginning
Follow the steps in the room
Don't skip bits.
So what port is the webserver running on?
And what are you putting in your address bar in Firefox?
ye is not an answer to that question.
Neither is that.
Be exact
What did you put?
I give up
I asked for exactly what you put. You're not answering that basic question.
There are two things wrong there
Where's the port? Why is it https?
You're missing the port and it's not HTTPS.
Thank you
I'm so sorry @naive dust , I got an unexpected call , I will continue later with what you propose 🙂
but if I remember well Kali remove the app
Ping me when you are on it, if I am online I will try to give further help 🙂
@naive dust cool thanks a lot dude !:)
From pins: "
- Google harder. Spend some time learning how to make efficient queries that will answer your question
- Be specific. Task x, question y, room z. I can't get xyz to work for me. If you're using a VM etc, mention.
- Include error messages, logs etc especially for VPN issues
- Explain the difference between what you expect to happen, and what's actually happening
- Be patient. Mentors aren't paid, neither are mods. We do this because we want to help the community. We don't HAVE to help you" @naive dust
TL:DR give more context please
This isn't a site related issue. If it is a room issue, use the designated room help chats, else: #infosec-general / #general
@naive dust Hey dude , are you there ?
@idle marlin Yes man, here I am👍
great 😄
@naive dust I saw that I can dl the JRE from this website : https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jre8-downloads.html
hi
guys im doing the Network Services im on task 3
so the ssh port is 22 and i have a private key and a username but i keep getting
"Connection closed by 10.10.143.245 port 22"
(I said check the pins)
That the right package seems to me
But it only the jre but not the jdk
@idle marlin let’s try not to swear please:)
@bronze vale sorry 😦 I'm tired of this things. Even if I learn a lot of stuff with this....process ^^
i didnt know what mtu is
amma check now
sorry
@naive dust yeah I guess I can find the rest but I need a account 😦
It's weird that I have to create an account to download it
@bronze vale but i did terminate the machine and waited for a while but the same error occurred again
Have you tried the MTU solution?
hello, i just wanted to quickly ask how do i get the student -20% from monthly subscription if i start now? I see that in my profile > other page has this "university" and -coming soon, so is it unavalaible or where can i find it?
!docs student
thanks
@naive dust I downloaded it and unzip it and there is what I have. I'm not sure to understand how I can install it
Is this a site related issue?
@bronze vale what do you mean ?
This chat is for site related issues only.
Could you either move this chat to the help chats if it’s room related/ #infosec-general then please :)
sure 🙂 maybe @naive dust we can continue in PM to not disturb the channel anymore 🙂
@idle marlin Yes DM without problem
what's MTU?
🙂
I got a msg that we are not on the same server OR you block the DM 😄
@verbal cypress
I allowed DM now, lol sorry
guys
i have a problem
i can't connect to ssh
like it freezes
when i try to connect to a host
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>
still didnt help my issue idk why. thanks for your help
I seem to not be able to post in the #thm-community-media channel. Is there something I need to do to become a part of that channel?
!docs verify
I'm having some trouble maintaining a stable connection using OpenVPN. I've tried different servers and made sure OpenVPN was a current version, tried restarting the OpenVPN service, restarting my computer etc.
I ended up getting to the point where I ran the troubleshooting script and the results are as follows:
Stable internet connection
OpenVpn installed tun0 exists tun 0 ip is in the correct range only one instance of open vpn is running
then, confirming connectivity and finally, something went wrong
Anything I'm missing here?
Well now the troubleshooter is saying I am connected, so I'll see what happens.
It appears all is well now. I suppose I should have spent a few more minutes messing around with it. Ultimately the issue was an instance of openvpn being open that wasnt actually connected, so when I tried to connect with another instance of openvpn, things got weird... so, derp.
I cannot find a place to update my CC info, where would I go in THM to update payment info?
Cancel and resub
are thm rooms experiencing slow downs or is it just me?
The server wasn't like this yesterday
I am in owasptop10 room
Maybe your VPN connection problem. Also, non subs gets less resources on deployed machines.
!vpnscript
Try ^^ this.
I am connected to the VPN. I have been using it for 3 days.
Edit: using it for 3 days doesn't mean it is connected since 3 days non stop. I meant that I use it 'frequently' so no problem with my setup.
the problem resolved on its own. thanks tho
go to your email
find an email from tryhackme that says congrats you earned a badge
at the bottom they have "delete account" instead of "opt out of emails"
I subscribed 10$ monthly bundle but it won't work
Hi I am trying to deploy an attack machine but I get the following message, 'New connection has been rejected with reason: Authentication failure'. I subscribed yesterday, so a bit confused? Has my subscription not been set up properly, ot have I missed a step somewhere?
Am I in the right room here?
If you are using the TryHackMe VMs and you are recieving an "Authentication Failure" error, please follow these steps:
- Terminate the attack box
- Load one of the Kali VMs and terminate it once it has loaded,
- Boot the attack box up again :)
@sage thistle ^^
Thanks DarkW I'll give that a try. I am on the next lesson now and it works fine in that. Possibly a wee glitch in the previous room. Thanks for getting back to me 
how can i upload gif to my avatar?
Hi can anybody help me i was trying to connect my virtual kali machine to openvpn but i cant and i dont know how to fix it
im here
Is your system time correct down to the second?
i dont think so
Then make sure it is
Hello, is the CA certificate used for Burp Suite pre installed?
i dont know how to do it on kali linux
How can i change timezone
In this guide, we show the step by step instructions to set the system time on Kali Linux via GUI and command line.
If that doesn't work regenerate your config file wait 30-60 seconds then redownload it
I did it now im going to regenerate config file
Same result
Try changing server
Same result
Now im trying apt upgrade
On the AttackBox
