#

while connected to THM VPN, is it possible to visit the outside website (i.e google.com)? in my case, i can't seem to do it inside my machine, i am using the VPN configuration in Kali and not the openvpn in terminal

eager fulcrum
#

Yes, it is.

#

But DO NOT use the built in VPN manager

#

Because as you're currently experiencing, it adds bad routes that aren't valid

#

use the openvpn command.

sacred minnow
#

I see, so that's what happens. Thanks for the clarification @eager fulcrum, will use openVPN command starting now 🙂

I’ve completed it now, lots of terminating and restarting the box...

#

Is it possible to transfer the scripts and tools of the attack box not present in Kali to my vm ?

#

Or to download it

eager fulcrum

You killed it when it was connecting

#

@main gate Don't control C while it's connecting?

but the conecction is too long? in other pages the conecction to vpn is inmediatly 2-3seconds

You don't need to use gyazo. I'd honestly recommend just putting the image into discord normally.

I'm having a couple of issues with a searchsploit, when I add the file to the correct location and update the updatedb, the exploit still is not showing?

sorry about that

eager fulcrum
main gate
#

nop, im using a free wifi or public wifi, maybe the router is blocking the conection?

eager fulcrum
#

It's possible.

main gate
#

but is rare bcouse in HTB i can connect normally

eager fulcrum
#

HTB has TCP enabled

#

Which is less frequently blocked

#

Try a different server from the dropdown.

main gate
#

and the atackbox from the page use the same system? becouse neither can connect

eager fulcrum
#

What do you mean?

#

The attackbox doesn't depend on the VPN, or require it at all.

main gate
#

Before it gave me an error when starting the machine of the web page but now if it has left me, I suppose it will give some errors

hello guys. sooooo I have a little problem which is not related to any room. I have pressed ESC key a couple of times (2-3) in the attackBox and now it's acting strange 😦 The keys are not working anymore or have a weird behaviour (for example, in Sublime, pressing s key will open the Selection tab). Does anyone encountered anything like that?

eager fulcrum
#

Refresh?

fierce vine
#

nah, didn't worked. not it came back to normal just by waiting. Earlier today I had to close the AttackBox completely and start a new one cause nothing worked 🤭

#

there are some dashes under each of the tabs from above. Maybe that means something to any of you 😇

#

(in this example, by pressing S key will open up the Search tab 👀 )

eager fulcrum
#

So I think the attackbox thinks you're holding Alt.

fierce vine
#

yeah, I think I found out the problem. Im using a mac and when I try to screenshot something I have to press cmd key and somehow, the attackbox thinks I keep pressing it. It works properly if I keep spamming the cmd key a couple of times 😏

stray cove
#

that makes sense, the key can get a bit sticky sometimes, especially if you lose focus while it's down

I'm getting an fatal error when trying to scp a file to my attack box. I'm trying 'pscp -P 22 Nessus-8.13.1-debian6_i386.deb x.x.x.x:/Downloads/' thru powershell

Hey! THM neophyte here. In the intro to networking room, task 5 (wireshark) has a .pcap file - what is the recommended way to get this onto the browser based AttackMachine? The only thing I can think of is to login again to THM on the attackmachine and download from there, but I wonder if there is a simpler way I am missing...

naive dust
#

Sup guys! Instead of searching through forums and all the headache. I wanted to know what Linux Distro could be good for, extreme privacy (Basically like Tails OS or Kadachi OS), but something that i could install on my hard drive. Followed by Manjaro and Windows 10 (I know still with Windows 10 sadly, cause i can't do a KVM and GPU passthrough). and as a daily OS for chillin' and playin' some games. (It doesn't matter how hard it could be to install i just want something a little bit fast like this.)

Hi - newbie qn - doing Linux Fundies 2/Putty and SSH/ I have an early 2015 Macbook Air and try and access SSH through the terminal - I have the VM running but when I try and SSH into the machine nothing happens and it says that port 22 has timed out. Any help is appreciated.

eager fulcrum
#

Are you connected to the TryHackMe VPN?

swift wagon
#

yes

eager fulcrum
swift wagon
#

Sorry not connected at this moment but I will happily take any suggestions and try later

eager fulcrum
#

You need to be connected to the VPN in order to interact with machines on the tryhackme network

#

Either that, or interact using the attackbox

swift wagon
#

yeah I had the VPN machine working but when I try and ssh it does nothing - tiem

#

times out

bronze vale
#

Sounds like you need the MTU fix.

eager fulcrum
#

Or to make sure you're currently connected with 10.10.10.10

bronze vale
#

But there is a chance you may have other problems, it is hard to diagnose an issue with just theory.

swift wagon
#

i'll try both - what is the MTU fix?

bronze vale
#

This is the MTU fix:

With `ip` : sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200

It is hard to know whether it will work or not because your issue may have a few causes.

Hey sorry quick question-completely new to this. I'm on linux fundamentals 2 and can't ssh in for some reason. Where do I find my machine ip? I tried the one on the side in the room I guess and 10.10.10.10 and maybe a few others by mistake. I hope that won't cause any problems. I just don't want to keep messing up ssh with the wrong ip addresses

hexed grove
#

@steep skiff try ip addr

#

oh you want the box ip?, that'll be "sticky" at top of the screen once the instance has spun up

steep skiff
#

Ok does that up remain as I move between rooms? And I hope I didn't screw up anything by using a couple different ip addresses for ssh:/

hexed grove
#

@steep skiff every time you click the green "Start Machine" button, it'll spawn a new machine with a new IP, so you'll need to check the new IP for each one you start

steep skiff
#

Okay thanks, I'll keep trying for now. When I use that ip it doesn't seem to be working so I'll re-read everything again and go from there

hey there! I´m on LFI Inclusion (https://tryhackme.com/room/inclusion) and I haven´t been able to run absolutely anything! I thought it was a problem with the VPN, so I tried thm-troubleshoot but everything looks fine

#

well, nmap did run though. So, port 80 is open and I should be able to see a website but it doesn´t load

molten socket
#

Things I´ve tried so far:

#
  • terminate and start machine
#
  • download openvpn file again
#

gobuster throws an error related to headers

#
  • I restarted kali. Nothing.
#
  • switched off my VPN. Voilá! now it works 😅

Can you screenshot your terminal that is running the OpenVPN service please.

#

drilling down to find the problem i cant connect from my host either and it used to work from this same pc

stray cove
#

run openvpn as sudo

pure river
#

im running as root

stray cove
#

oh wait didn't see that

#

doesn't seem to have connected properly

#

should see Initialization Sequence Completed at the end

pure river
#

yeah that i can tell my problem is that i cant figure out how to drill down the problem to fix it

stray cove
#

can you try regenerating your config file, waiting about a minute, redownloading it and trying again?

#

if that fails, then try an alternate server

pure river
#

tryed it many times switching servers etc nothing easy helped

stray cove
#

there's no proxy that might be mucking about the connection?

pure river
#

not using any

stray cove
#

also you're not from a country which bans vpns?

pure river
#

nope my classmates are using openvpn and connecting with no problem

stray cove
#

just eliminating possibilities

pure river
#

yeah thanks

stray cove
#

the VM has internet yes?

pure river
#

yeah

stray cove
#

does the VM time and the host time match?

pure river
#

yeah

stray cove
#

openvpn is up to date?

pure river
#

yeah

stray cove
#

there's no other vpn connection on the host or vm?

pure river
#

nope the thm troubleshoot script whold've killed the connection if there was another

stray cove
#

not necessarily

#

have you tried rebooting the VM and trying again?

#

grasping at straws here, but a reboot might reinitialize things that broke

pure river
#

of course

#

purging and reinstalling

#

rebooting

#

taking down the firwall

#

allowing through the firwall

#

cause theres a problem connecting through the host also

stray cove
#

hmm

#

might be on your ISP's end then

pure river
#

not possible because like i said my classmates dont have any problems

stray cove
#

same ISP?

pure river
#

some of them

#

also this same isp worked

#

suddenly everything stopped working without a clear reason

eager fulcrum
#

Check your system time.

pure river
#

up to date

#

any router configurations that mess up the connection as a possibility?

pure river
#

so...lets try fixing that and see if other errors occur?

#

the main problem and the reason im asking for assistance here is because except for the general problems and solutions googling an answer to this problem fluds me with a bunch of SERVER problems and answers

stray cove
#

yeah it's the TLS bit that's weird

pure river
#

any ideas to drill down or to expand the stdout or to route more info into a log file?

#

okay i expanded the current parameter setting anything i should look for in it?

pure river
#

thanks for the help guys hope somebody will read and reply to further assist in this issue meanwhile ill wait you guys are my best shot at resolving this problem

If you are receiving a 404 error after attempting to download the OpenVPN Configuration file please try these steps:

Grrrr

I swear that one is in the regex

yea

#

But it's missing this case

barren birch
#

I meant the case

eager fulcrum
#

It usually catches it

stray cove
#

did it get pushed?

eager fulcrum
#

So they broke your script

stray cove
#

maybe it's out of date

usually regenning the config works

might have to wait a bit before downloading

Please provide details of the issue

It helps to do that when you first ask, so that people know if they can help or can quickly see the issue without needing to ask you to provide more details

eager fulcrum
#

Show the full error message?

#

And drop the sudo

#

You do not need sudo

#

because the code does not need to run as root?

naive dust
#

You don't need root access to connect to ssh

eager fulcrum
#

It's not "why don't I need sudo". It's "why do I need sudo"

#

You should not run things with any more permissions than they need.

naive dust
#

Also do you have a openvpn connection?

eager fulcrum
#

You're timing out probably because you're either not connected to the TryHackme VPN, or the target machine isn't up

digital yarrow
#

negative

eager fulcrum
#

Then you are not connected to the VPN

naive dust
#

Then you are not connected to the VPN

eager fulcrum
#

Thank you for arguing

#

But you are not properly connected to the VPN

#

Would you like to continue to debate if you're connected to the VPN or not, or would you like to work on fixing the issue?

digital yarrow
#

!openvpn

eager fulcrum
#

Ok, you see how it says tun2 in there?

naive dust
#

Anyone know why enum4linux isnt working for me, i checked and its installed

eager fulcrum
#

@digital yarrow You have multiple connections to the VPN open at once. It should be tun0. That's your problem, and that's why you're not connected.

naive dust
eager fulcrum
#

Now, do you see why debating whether you're connected properly or not when all the evidence points to you not being connected properly doesn't get you anywhere?

#

But... it wasn't.

#

You can't interact with boxes on the network, therefore you aint connected.

this is the nmap scan that i'm trying to do

Nmap even suggests a solution

naive dust

I tried that

-Pn

#

If i do this with attackbox from tryhackme, it's working

eager fulcrum
#

Ok, so what happens if you add -Pn to the scan?

naive dust
#

but the attackbox is very slow

#

oh shit it's working now

#

Sorry for the trouble

stark otter
#

It's slow because it is waiting for responses on every port. Even ones that don't respond to pings. I personally use the nmapautomator for recon makes it way simpler when doing scans at least for me cause I am noob.

naive dust
#

idk why but it wasn't working before i was seeing some weird results

#

i meant the attacbox was laggy

That's why i dont use it

i'll try this automater as well

There is a small mistake in the premium room SteelMountain, there is this note :
Note: The service showed up as being unquoted (and could be exploited using this technique), however, in this case we have exploited weak file permissions on the service files instead.
But that's false, in this case we used the unquoted Path vulnerability because the payload name was Advanced.exe

eager fulcrum
mild thorn
# eager fulcrum Nah, the way it's written you end up overwriting the binary.

Nope :

SERVICE_NAME: AdvancedSystemCareService9
        TYPE               : 110  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS (interactive)
        START_TYPE         : 2   AUTO_START
        ERROR_CONTROL      : 1   NORMAL
        BINARY_PATH_NAME   : C:\Program Files (x86)\IObit\Advanced SystemCare\ASCService.exe
        LOAD_ORDER_GROUP   : System Reserved
        TAG                : 1
        DISPLAY_NAME       : Advanced SystemCare Service 9
        DEPENDENCIES       : 
        SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem

The service Path is C:\Program Files (x86)\IObit\Advanced SystemCare\ASCService.exe and we just create Advanced.exe

#

There is no Advanced.exe

eager fulcrum
#

That's taken directly from the text

#

The way you did it was exploiting the unquoted service path

#

Which is great

#

But not what the room tells you.

#

Upload your binary and replace the legitimate one. Then restart the program to get a shell as root.

#

Again, replace.

mild thorn
#

Oh yeah, the rooms is saying something else, but on the screenshot the guy is creating a payload named Advanced.exe, so I thought he was doing that like this

#

But ok thanks ! 👌

when I run it over the target windows server it shows the meterpreter started but no shell received, as appear here

Looks like your machine has gone to sleep, try full screening. If that doesn't work, ask in #infosec-general

Its best to use vm directly in Kali than on host.

molten socket
#

in the task, I had to use Win Remote Desktop Connection 😅

#

I still have issues in Kali. It gets stuck

eager fulcrum
#

Are you connected on your host?

molten socket
#

no

eager fulcrum
#

And if you let it sit for a lil bit trying to connect?

molten socket
#

yes, it keeps trying and failing measurably

eager fulcrum
#

Don't run it via the script

#

use the openvpn command.

molten socket
#

yes, I tried the script afterwards

#

the script is giving me some hints. I´ll follow them and see how it goes. Cheers!

regenerating the OpenVPN file did the job. It had never happened to me before and I use THM every day (just look at my lovely profile activity 😎 )

Hi, one question, do I need to install the Open VPN, I have paid the subscription and when I open a room-let's say Learn the Linux Fundamentals Part 3 I don't have Deploy Button, I have start Machine, when I click it, nothing happens, however, I have Start Attach Box Button which works.

#

So is Browser based machine enough or do I need to install the Open VPN(I have some issues with connecting to the VPN)

bronze vale
#

The browser-based machine is an optional machine for users who are unable to use their own machines to complete the tasks. The AttackBox is already on the network so if you are using it, you do not need the VPN. However, on rooms instead of using your tun0 for reverse shell etc., you would use your eth0.

If you are using your home computer or work computer to complete TryHackMe, you will need OpenVPN to complete machines on the network. With premium, you get VIP VPN servers which are faster and less congested.

As you can see on the screenshot, the blue arrow points to a little symbol. This indicates which task has the machine you are using for the room on and the red arrow points to a "Start Machine" button which starts said Machine.

#

After pressing "Start Machine", this will appear which contains all the information you require e.g. Machine IP and expiry time.

#

If you are having problems with OpenVPN, screenshot the output from running the command and send it here, someone will troubleshoot your issue:)

#

Hope this helps @proven temple

eager fulcrum
#

@zealous yoke thm kali go brr?

#

oh you opened THM in your THM

#

So it tries to put the kali remote view inside the kali remoteview

#

And again forever

#

Don't use the website in the Kali VM, or if you do then minimise/close the split screen

zealous yoke
#

Yess

#

Only have one view of the attackbox/kali open at one time (:

naive dust
#

but i just paid 10$ because it said faster machine and i dont know what..

zealous yoke
#

otherwise they share the same view and scale depending on how you open it in whatever browser/view

#

if you close the "smallest" one and refresh it'll scale up to a reasonable size (:

#

This especially happens if you have the split/screen open and the fullscreen open at the same time

naive dust
#

thanks i will try

zealous yoke
#

Apologies that this is your first experience with the site

naive dust
#

i only paid because i thought it was worthless if i used the site

eager fulcrum
#

Also I highly recommend the attackbox rather than the Kali

naive dust
#

because i was so limited to the things

eager fulcrum
#

80% of the content on THM is free, and you can complete all of the free rooms without a subscription

naive dust
eager fulcrum
#

A subscription makes things smoother though

naive dust
#

ah okay, but cant i use kali that i have on virtualbox?

zealous yoke
#

If it doesn't scale okay -- please let me know @naive dust and I'll see if I can launch a session that launches okay. But the reason that I put above is 99.99% of the problem -- it's an issue with the technology/method of how we do the in-browser stuff

eager fulcrum
zealous yoke
#

It should scale perfectly okay but if there's two simultaneous views it'll scale to the size of the last view more or less (i.e. if you open it in a tab/view that is smaller than the previous -- it'll scale down to the smaller size)

eager fulcrum
#

You just need to connect to the THM VPN

#

From inside the Kali VM

naive dust
eager fulcrum
#

Nope

#

Subscribing gets you access to more content, and means that rooms you deploy will start with more resources by default

#

Like double the RAM

#

Makes them boot much faster

#

You also get the learning paths

naive dust
#

ah okay

haughty glacier
#

also VIP VPN script

eager fulcrum
#

The VIP VPN servers?

haughty glacier
#

yeah

eager fulcrum
#

I don't see a lot of benefit from them after I memorised my VPN IP

haughty glacier
#

lmao

eager fulcrum
#

I don't think I've ever had issues on EU1

zealous yoke
#

Things like the AttackBox are on the same network as the machines that you deploy in rooms. This improves performance of things like enumeration, bruteforcing and the likes incredibly (without sounding as biast as can be)

eager fulcrum
#

Except when someone stole my IP

zealous yoke
#

There's no VPN/internet overhead as it's all within the same private network (:

#

But the resource boost you gain for instances that you deploy is definitely noticeable in comparison to non-sub

#

But it's maybe not my place to say (:

#

But aye if you have issues with things like the attackbox/kali not scaling too well just let me know @naive dust. It's worth noting that the AttackBox has been designed & maintained purely for THM content & being used in-browser. We have no real control over the deloyable Kali instance to optimise it for the THM site/content

naive dust
#

okay thanks

#

would you prefer doing the task inside vm or attackbox

zealous yoke
#

Personally it really depends on the time/place that I'm doing a room

#

The in-browser is really useful (as a user) when you're using something that doesn't have the resources for a VM, etc

naive dust
#

the attackbox feels laggy and not smooth at all :/

zealous yoke
#

Or you're wanting to try things that won't impact your local VM

#

But it isn't persistent -- i.e. things you put on it won't stay there once you terminate it

#

so keeping files/notes in something else is really important for learning (as you can do in VM or at the least on the PC that you're accessing the in-browser from)

naive dust
#

is there a video about how i can use vm to tryhackme

eager fulcrum
#

Your own VM?

#

!vpn

sharp bisonBOT
naive dust
#

yes

eager fulcrum
#

There's a room to show you how to connect

#

Make sure you connect from your own kali VM, not your host machine

zealous yoke
#

We don't have anything in terms of setting up a VM yourself -- but there's plentiful resources on how you can get started on installing Kali, etc in a virtual VM on the internet

zealous yoke
#

Ah coolio

#

the room that Ninja helpfully shared would be great in getting you connected to the THM network for you to start your journey

eager fulcrum
#

cmn plz send docker help in the lounge if you're around

#

eager fulcrum
#

#

#

is that normal that its stuck like that

eager fulcrum
#

Open a new tab

#

when connecting via the VPN is it normal to not have access to the internet and only the boxes?

bronze vale
#

Nope, that is not normal.

#

What OS are you on?

regal moon
#

I'm using Kali

#

I only noticed it as one of the boxes is trying to load bootstrap CDN and its failing

#

any idea what's causing my shell to crash when i trying to upgrade it using python3 -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'
have tried using just python and the same happens
has happened on a few different boxes. but when looking up a guide i see them using the same command

surreal mist
#

just running the python command breaks the shell or other commands to?

proven stratus
#

just that command

plucky rampart
#

yo, is the vpn down? can't connect to it

#

got it sorted, no worries

glad tide

I am also having VPN trouble this morning 😕 never had an issue before

radiant mauve
#

yeah... I'm also have same problem

#

vpn seem down

#

tried regenrating the vpn

radiant mauve
#

it's working for me now

glad tide
#

Im just gonna use my attack box which is working. I dont really care to regenerate my stuff. I'll just wait for it to work

#

Thats a good bypass though! I just dont wanna have to bypass things that should be working, or will eventually be fixed. If they didnt have attack box, thats prob exactly what I'd do

Quick question about installing Remmina on Kali. I followed the instructions on https://remmina.org/how-to-install-remmina/ (Debian , 9 Stretch) and kaput! 25 mins on and when trying to connect to the victim´s machine, I get a grey screen only

eager fulcrum
#

I recommend trying a different RDP client

#

xfreerdp, rdesktop

#

If you have a windows (Or a mac?) machine, there's nothing better than the official RDP client from MS

molten socket
#

yeah, I guess it´d be easier to use the Win RDP. Thanks mate! 😅 👍

#

massive difference. The Win Remote Desktop App connected straight away.

Hey Hi.....How can we cancel a subscription?

I'm in the burpsuite room and when I'm using burp in firefox the internet doesn't work. When I click on the fox icon and turn it off I can access websites but not while I'm using burp. I've tried starting over and redownloading the certificate but I can't seem to fix it. Any help would be much appreciated.

tropic moat
#

screenshot for clarification

eager fulcrum
#

Many sites will use HSTS which aims to prevent MITM

tropic moat
#

Sorry I'm a beginner and don't understand......

eager fulcrum
#

Currently, burp is trying to intercept requests to all sites

#

You might need to turn intercept off anyway, so that it doesn't hold the requests to wait for your approval

#

But later on in the burpsuite room, it talks you through setting burp up to only capture traffic for the website you're attacking

tropic moat

got it, thanks

Hey guys, I was doing LazyAdmin and most of the times it seemed like the web server went offline. I had to wait 1 minute everytime I wanted to browse through the directories again. After some time, server won't respond again.

Is this cause I'm using the free account? It made the hacking extremely sloppy.

#

I'll use it next time I ran into smth similar

#

I believe it had to be with the machine, not the VPN. Is it common that web servers with CMS run slower than normal in THM?

eager fulcrum
#

Depends how heavy the CMS is, but the behaviour you described was very much what having multiple instances of the THM VPN will do

gaunt nexus
#

What do you mean by multiple instances of the VPN?

eager fulcrum
#

The openvpn process running multiple times on your machine

tribal bloom

not a thm question but im pretty new to kali linux and im just using a VM rn. My question is after a certain amount of time it goes to a lock screen where i have to enter my username and password, how can i make the time of this longer?

Run openvpn and screenshot the terminal output

#

probably already known issue. But when I extend time on a machine, and the first timer runs out, i get an error saying machine expired. but as I've extended it, it still stays on.

fading cypress
#

hi

marsh magnet
#

@fading cypress how can I help?

fading cypress
#

It's about the subscription i am bit confused

marsh magnet
#

Explain more and I can possibly help

fading cypress
#

is the subscription for 1 calendar month or 30 days regardless of when i buy the subscription

#

Sorry if i said something wrong. I am new in this community

marsh magnet
#

So it runs on a monthly basis. So if you pay via Stripe (card not PayPal) you'll have it renew every month on the 14th if you purchase today.

#

PayPal and Vouchers don't automatically renew

fading cypress
#

so its 30 days not a calendar month

#

and 2 more things to know

marsh magnet
#

Correct

upper glade
marsh magnet
#

You pay today and it will renew on the 14th regardless of the amount of days between

marsh magnet
upper glade
fading cypress
#

if i pay through card will it renew automatically or i have to manually renew it

marsh magnet
#

Automatic and you can cancel at anytime

fading cypress
#

how to cancel

marsh magnet
#

Via your profile

#

There's an option to cancel.

fading cypress
#

In the card section there is 2 fields expiry and CCV
i don't know about it

#

sorry for bothering you

marsh magnet
#

So that will be your card details.

#

If you don't have an active subscription you can't cancel

#

The expiration date will be on your card and usually the CCV will be on the back.

fading cypress
#

infect never pay before to anywhere

#

ok

#

Thanks for your time

marsh magnet
#

No worries

fading cypress
marsh magnet
#

Not a problem! Any further questions feel free to ask!

fading cypress
#

ok

#

BTW, if i pay through card will it be saved if than how to pay through another card

#

just for curiosity

marsh magnet
#

You'll have to cancel and wait for it to expire and resubscribe with the new card

fading cypress
#

Expire what??
My subscription???

marsh magnet
#

Yes. If you want to swap cards you'll have to cancel, wait for your subscription to expire and then resubscribe with the new card.

#

If you cancel before the payment is due you still keep the subscription until the date it is meant to renew

fading cypress
#

If I don't cancel it will automatically renew my subscription. Am i right?

marsh magnet
#

Correct

fading cypress
#

@marsh magnet Thanks a lot

marsh magnet
#

No worries

fading cypress

Hey, right now I'm doing the Cryptography room and the john the ripper 'room'. When I'm trying to use zip2john in this instance and I do this command 'zip2john secure.zip > zip_hash.txt' (I've tried with sudo as well), but then it says 'zsh: permission denied: zip_hash.txt'. This always seem to happen when I use ' > [new .txt file] '. It said 'zsh: permission denied' when I did an earlier task when I used the command 'echo passwd.txt > local_passwd.txt' or something like that. Does anyone know how to fix the zsh permission denied issue?

All the files I've used have been in the same directory which i created myself called '/usr/share/hashes' maybe that's the problem..?

eager fulcrum
#

It's probably that you can't write to the current directory

prisma basalt
#

ok thanks! I'll try fix that

eager fulcrum
#

Remember if you do "sudo echo hello > file.txt" echo runs as root but the redirection does not.

ok thanks!

Hey, I just started the room "Sysinternals", unfortunately, when attempting to RDP into the machine as per instructions, I get error "Failed to connect, CredSSP required by server". Have tried both xfreerdp and rdesktop, but get the same error. Had a look and this seem to be an issue due to the configuration of the VM. Can someone please advise if I'm doing something wrong or there is an issue with the VM?

Hello, my friend just made an account and can access to the complete beginner path but I cant (I created mine 1 month ago). Is it normal ?

marsh magnet
#

@meager comet are you a subscriber?

#

If not, learning paths are a subscriber feature.

meager comet
marsh magnet
#

Because they likely are a subscriber

meager comet
#

(hes not a subscriber)

#

He made his account with me

marsh magnet
#

Then it's likely the free path on the blog he's following. Or a bug.

eager fulcrum
#

IIRC you can see the first section of a path without being subbed?

meager comet

Whereas mine is locked
