I shouldn't use my VPN to connect to THM? Or I it shouldn't mess things up if I use it?

[eager fulcrum]

It shouldn't mess things up unless you access update-timezone with it enabled

[safe rain]

kk, got it. Thanks James!

Is there any way to manually check which time zone I'm in? I went to the update-timezone URL, but it just redirected me. I want to make sure that I'm good....

[eager fulcrum]

No news is good news

IDK exactly how it works, but it should have set it

[safe rain]

haha, k, i'll take it, lol

Btw, I just noticed that I should actually have a 5-day streak at this point, but it's only showing a 2-day streak....

(My activity on my public profile shows 5 days in a row.)

[eager fulcrum]

You'll want to email support for that one. I've spoken to the support rep behind the scenes and unfortunately I don't think they can see if it's East Coast time or west coast or whatever

[safe rain]

Where can I find the support email address?

Yeah, Enterprise defo needs a boost on its resource, just reminding bc i know a lot of people are stuck on the RDP part.

[scenic marten]

Additionally, we can start a socks5 proxy server out of this session. Background our current meterpreter session and run the command search server/socks5. What is the full path to the socks5 auxiliary module?

Anyone who have completed the Room may tell me the question

I cant freaking find it.

Metaxploit Room

[quartz verge]

this is from the Blaster room. Its suppose to show the history of the user, that i hacked, but its not showing up. I googled the CVE that was suppose to show. but am i doing something wrong or is it the room?

[scenic marten]

I found it

[eager fulcrum]

That's not really a tech support question for next time

[scenic marten]

oh sry

[naive dust]

my machines dont want to terminate when i get the ip i ping it in cmd nothing I put it in search bar and nothing idk

and the ssh dont work 😦

[eager fulcrum]

Connect to the VPN

But along the top in the room, near the title, there's a "Split screen" or something button

Click that

@deep trellis I don't know if it's intended, but in-browser access for rooms (not the attackbox) doesn't seem to show up automatically

[naive dust]

My new room is about to release soon, but there's something I would like to update, can I DM someone from the staff/moderation regarding that?

[wind wedge]

The one ready for the 26th?

[naive dust]

Yes

[wind wedge]

I tested it, you can dm me

[olive raft]

Hi guys, i cannot get my certification in the path Complete Beginner, i have 100% and 8/8 badges and all completed but when i try download just say:

Fetching certificate, please wait.
Fetching certificate, please wait. and later You have not earned this certificate yet.

What i can do?

[naive dust]

do i need to connect to the vpn the room sosent want to deply/terminate idk why

[eager fulcrum]

I don't know what you mean

You need to connect to the VPN if you want to SSH in from your own machine

[naive dust]

thanks i will try later

[verbal turtle]

Im doing the Steel Mountain room right now, I haven't used metasploit much but the server keeps losing connection and my meterpreter session keeps dying. Its really annoying as I cant actually get the the PrivEsc step before the connection dies. Has anyone else experienced this?

[marsh magnet]

@verbal turtle verify your profile and then screenshot and send the message to me

[verbal turtle]

Will do

What did you want a screenshot of?

[marsh magnet]

@verbal turtle screenshot the issue

Like when does it say it dies and what you was doing?

[verbal turtle]

The issue is the connection keeps dying, i have a constant ping on the box and it stops responding about every 5 minutes

I just rebooted it to see if that helps

[marsh magnet]

I wouldn't recommend constantly pinging a box. There's no real need for it.

Sometimes exploits are unstable. It happens.

Best thing to do is often restart the box and try again

[verbal turtle]

Its not the exploit its self, its the actual box that loses connection, when it happens the web server is down and pings dont return

I just rebooted it so we will see if that helps

Yeah after a reboot it still seems to lose its connection about every 5 minutes

[marsh magnet]

[verbal turtle]

https://i.imgur.com/ip11kFs.png

Besides that dont know what else i can show with a connection loss

[marsh magnet]

Yeah that's not unusual. Just because it won't respond to a ping doesn't mean it's offline

[verbal turtle]

None of the webhosts are up during this time either

[marsh magnet]

Is it a windows or a Linux machine?

[verbal turtle]

Its a windows machine

The reverse shell also dies during this period

[marsh magnet]

Windows machines don't respond to pings

So that's odd

[sharp bison]

TryHackMe

Use our VPN troubleshooting script to diagnose common issues!

https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting

From TryHackMe with ❤!

[marsh magnet]

Run this

[eager fulcrum]

Also, there's http://10.10.10.10

You should be able to access that if you're connected to the VPN

[marsh magnet]

Ah yeah there's also 10.10.10.10 to check

[verbal turtle]

I can ping 10.10.10.10 also the script is jsut plain wrong my machine has OpenVPN https://i.imgur.com/uYBi8s9.png

As i am currently connected to the VPN

10.10.10.10 never goes down for me, its just the box its self.

https://i.imgur.com/DhMzjsS.png

Just to confirm that it is installed

and this is what meterpeter keeps doing to me https://i.imgur.com/cAT4ojD.png

[eager fulcrum]

the script is jsut plain wrong my machine has OpenVPN You're not running a debian/apt based system

So it can't detect it

[verbal turtle]

Yes, does the script have a way to bypass the check?

[stray cove]

yeah it's not made for Arch

[verbal turtle]

Eitherway I dont think my VPN conenction is the issue

[eager fulcrum]

The VPN dropping out every few minutes definitely sounds like a VPN issue to me...

TryHackMe

Learn how to look for duplicate instance of your OpenVPN connection.

• Step 1

Make sure you have setup your VPN connection correctly https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn

• Step 2

Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter

• Step 3

If there's more than one line (that don't start with "grep" or sudo), do the following steps

• Step 4

Type sudo killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter

• Step 5

Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>

From TryHackMe with ❤!

[verbal turtle]

It dosnt

[eager fulcrum]

Try those.

[verbal turtle]

10.10.10.10 never dies

the box connection does

[stray cove]

you only have one instance of openvpn running?

[verbal turtle]

Yes

[eager fulcrum]

Check please.

[stray cove]

are you running from a VM?

[verbal turtle]

No

[eager fulcrum]

With the instructions above.

[verbal turtle]

I will

[stray cove]

It's easy enough to lose an openvpn session, especially when backgrounded

[verbal turtle]

Its not backgrounded, also with the steps above aux is not a command on my machine, and there is no aux package

[stray cove]

doesn't hurt to check and it does break windows boxes

ps aux is to list processes from all users

[verbal turtle]

wait i misread it

yeah my bad

https://i.imgur.com/HpHqC2i.png

[stray cove]

looks like there's 2 sessions

[verbal turtle]

one starts with sudo one starts with grep

If there's more than one line (that don't start with "grep" or sudo), do the following steps

[stray cove]

fair

got the same locally, strike my last

[eager fulcrum]

One is a sudo process, one is an openvpn process

[stray cove]

yeah I got it 😉

brain derped

[craggy raven]

realy rdp ?

[stray cove]

running Windows Server on 512 MB RAM is touchy

no errors on the openvpn logs?

[verbal turtle]

I rebooted again, connection seems stable enough now

[stray cove]

probably gremlins then

[verbal turtle]

Who knows, thanks for the help all

[median frigate]

Most of the time the shell, burp or browser inside the Lab stop responding.

Sometimes just changing between tags get fixed other times i need to restart the browser. I'm using Chrome

I definitly changed to VPN.

[waxen vale]

Same here !

[quartz verge]

for some reason i can't access the machine via Openvpn. I was on last night with no problems. I also just updated it and i didn't change anything. Im actually continuing the same room.

[faint scroll]

Hello, I have the same issue as some days ago, when I try to connect to the attack box, it shows me this:

Machine IP:10.10.229.163

[naive dust]

i thought it was only me who had problems with openvpn haha

[faint scroll]

Lol, you have the same?

[naive dust]

yes, tried to troubleshoot and i tried to download new config file

it lead me to an error page

[faint scroll]

I'm on the browser based machine

[naive dust]

browser works fine

but not when i try to connect through my kali machine

must be some internal issue

[eager fulcrum]

Click regenerate. Wait a whole minute. Redownload.

[naive dust]

ok i will try thank you ninja

[barren gazelle]

I'm having the same problem

I can't download my openvpn file

[barren gazelle]

No luck

[eager fulcrum]

Did you wait a whole minute?

Like. Time it.

[barren gazelle]

Yes

[eager fulcrum]

Ok. Wait two minutes. Or try a different VPN server.

[dense kelp]

I'm unable to verify with the bot, keeps saying I don't share a server or am not in their friends list. Should I rejoin the discord??

[eager fulcrum]

No

Enable DMs in the server's privacy settings

[dense kelp]

Thank you 🙂

[barren gazelle]

Tried both of those

[eager fulcrum]

Ok then I can't help you any further

[naive dust]

2 mins method works

[barren gazelle]

Didn't for me

[naive dust]

thank you ninja 🙂

[barren gazelle]

Can I open up a support ticket somewhere or should I just go ahead and cancel my VIP membership?

[quartz verge]

yeah, i have no clue. I still can do scans, smb of the machines IP so thats good.. i guess

scratch that... now I am connected. so weird.

[naive dust]

try use different server

[barren gazelle]

I did that. I went from EU-VIP-1 to EU-VIP-2

[naive dust]

i changed to eu regular 2. i'm on vip sub too

[faint scroll]

Is there someone who could help me pls?

But you said it said connection completed

So IDK why you're trying to download your config again

[serene void]

Yep, but the website says I'm not connected

That's the strange part

Ignore the access page

It's incredibly unreliable

You can check your connection using http://10.10.10.10

EU-Regular 1 config file is not working and it is redirected to 404 page not found page. EU-Regular 2 is successfully downloaded but it's not working while connecting the vpn. Please solve my issue as far as possible.

do we have to connect to open vpn to use wreath or wreath vpn will be fine

[twin kayak]

In Networks tab un need to download the wreath vpn config file

[proud tusk]

i set it up on my terminal

The wreath VPN is an openvpn config.

Same as the THM VPN is.

i am asking do we have to connect to both in order to use wreath

or only wreath vpn

If you want to access wreath you have to use the wreath VPN

I didn the thm vpn troubleshooting script it says i'm connected

but I got this when I have the vpn on

oh ok i thought since its tech support i should ask here. but i guess tech support only towards tryhackme

what i cannot understand that why the ip 10.10.10.10 give me the flag and the website tell me im disconnected.. and some room doesn't work properly

[eager fulcrum]

Ping is not a reliable test

Many machines don't respond to pings

[ebon igloo]

thanks for the information

[eager fulcrum]

http://10.10.10.10 is one of the most reliable tests of VPN connectivity

[vagrant jungle]

there is ping but i cant connect with rdp

[hoary wyvern]

@eager fulcrum oh i think i didn't understood it right, so i have to open an "attackbox machine" on the browser, and then access to my room machine is that it ?

[eager fulcrum]

You don't have to

You need a machine to attack from and a machine to attack

The attackbox is the machine to attack from

The target is what you deploy in the room with the Start machine button

[eager fulcrum]

What room?

[vagrant jungle]

Enterprise

[eager fulcrum]

IDK then

Oh ok thank you, i think i got it ! 👍

Get a 404 error downloading the OpenVPN certificate for EU-VIP-1 and EU-VIP-2. But downloading EU-Regular-1/2 and US-West-VIP-1 is no problem. Regenerating and waiting several minutes makes no difference.

[fathom pasture]

quick question, i just finished the beginner path but the certificate shows my username instead of my real name, i just updated my profile, will the shown info on the certificate update by itself or do i need other help?

If your Full Name was not inserted before you generated the certificate, it will stay as your username. The site staff are aware, this may change in the future:p

ah ok, thanks for the quick reply 👍

Excuse me, I'm getting this error where I get the 404 Page whenever I try to download my VPN configuration

• Press regenerate, wait 2 minutes and then try downloading again

• Change VPN server and try downloading again

• Log out of your account and log back in.

Ok thanks

Nope, still the same 404 "Lost in the Matrix" page

Is this EU by any chance?

EU for me

Both VIP and Regular 1

[civic lodge]

try it with another port

also for ports < 1024 you need sudo

[mild belfry]

what's the problem?

[haughty glacier]

there are currently un-released rooms that are added to the certificate but not available yet

need to wait a bit for them to become available to 'fully' complete it

[mild belfry]

This happened to other 2 or 4 certs too, is it for the same reason?

And how to check if it's released or not

[sturdy wigeon]

quick question, how would i get a thm api key

[mild belfry]

go to profile, then go to options you will find it

[sturdy wigeon]

the discord token?

yes

[sturdy wigeon]

can i use that for the api endpoints?

[sturdy wigeon]

it doesnt seem to be working

bluemoon@bluemoon-MBP:~$ curl -H "THM-API-KEY: <redacted>" https://tryhackme.com/external/api/rooms
{"message":"API Key is invalid, expired or disabled."}%

[mild belfry]

[gusty coral]

I'm currently have subscription (expired 26 March,2021) and bought a new voucher (2 months). I got the code but could not find a place to redeem that new voucher in my Dashboard. Can you pls help?
In case I'm unable to add new voucher before expired date, will my progress lost?

[oblique otter]

my understanding (which could be incorrect, but I don't believe so) is that you cannot use a voucher with an active subscription, so you'll need to let that lapse then use the voucher. You wouldn't lose any progress in the process, though - that will still be there when you re-up

[naive dust]

Hello all, and good morning / evening / afternoon

I have a problem trying to connect to openvpn, using config file

what type of problem?

can you maybe send a screenshot of the error message?

ERROR: Cannot ioctl TUNSETIFF tun: Operation not permitted (errno=1)

Yes

which operating system do you use when trying to connect to openvpn?

Kali

Can i post here the screen shoot?

i think so

I don't think can add pictures

i send also and emai to [e-mail]

Basically that is the error message

Cannot ioctl TUNSETIFF tun

[median frigate]

Try running the command with sudo

[naive dust]

Yes, of course, stupid me

🤦‍♂️

That worked, thank you very much

[upper glade]

As far as I'm aware the /external API endpoints are part of the education API. See these docs for more info; https://docs.tryhackme.com/docs/api-docs/introduction

[eager fulcrum]

Yeah you don't need a key for the public API. I think cloudflare might get in the way though.

[gusty coral]

ok thank you very much, first time here so ... 🙂

[covert steeple]

Hi! Vim box isn't working properly

Can anyone please help

[slim hearth]

Could you provide more detail ?

[covert steeple]

In task two I m giving right answer still it is showing it is wrong

[slim hearth]

Screenshot ?

[eager fulcrum]

Nothing to do with the box, that's the room

[eager fulcrum]

What question?

[slim hearth]

Task 2 idk how many question are in t2

[eager fulcrum]

A whole bunch

That's why I'm asking them

[covert steeple]

All of them

I can stream and show

[eager fulcrum]

wat

[covert steeple]

Yes

In task3 the first answer is "w" but it isn't accepting it

I tried to copy from walkthrough also! But it is not working at all

[eager fulcrum]

No, it is not. Because you have forgotten the key that comes before commands.

[covert steeple]

Dammm

[eager fulcrum]

This belongs in #room-help. This is not a bug with the room, this is just you not getting correct answers.

[covert steeple]

I m sorry! I just got it

[twilit imp]

Hello everyone! I don't really know if this issue belongs in this exact room as I'm just getting started, but in the "Learn the Linux Fundamentals Part 2" room I can't ssh into the machine

[eager fulcrum]

Why not? What happens?

[twilit imp]

ssh: connect to host 10.10.232.74 port 22: Operation timed out

The machine is still up and running

I also can't ping it

[eager fulcrum]

Connect to the VPN

@zealous yoke would you object to putting this into the instructions for Linux2?

[twilit imp]

Oh dang I thought about it but I haven't read it anywhere

Thanks that'll do

[zealous yoke]

Linux2 (along with the rest) are being very shortly replaced (:

[eager fulcrum]

Sad

[zealous yoke]

I'll put a note in there temporarily however -- see if I can clarify it a bit better

[eager fulcrum]

It's just it's usually the first room people do that needs the VPN, so people don't know about it

[zealous yoke]

Aye yes -- the first room is completely in-browser that I'm hoping to get finished today

Room has been re-designed mostly for that reason

Amongst how now that it's split up it doesn't flow too well

Can I DM you @eager fulcrum?

[eager fulcrum]

Yea

[zealous yoke]

Sweet

It writes:

You're on windows

yeah. So find the windows way of making a POST request.

[noble talon]

Hello there THM Mod's, I have an issue (maybe a very small bug) with materials (uploads) in order to create rooms, would it be possible to get a bit of help ?

[eager fulcrum]

Just to make it clear, the THM mods are discord moderators. They're not site staff. You can ask your question and we might be able to help because many of us also create rooms, but we're still not site staff.

[fading oriole]

there is not a vacation / holiday mode to be away and keep the streaks?

[eager fulcrum]

Nope, but you can email support and they can restore/set streaks

[noble talon]

Ty for explanations, in fact my "problem" is that as the room I'm creating is my very first CTF. And so to test/see how things worked, I created multiple rooms and uploaded

[eager fulcrum]

You created multiple virtual machines, or multiple rooms? Wording is important here.

[noble talon]

some boxes, but deleted the rooms before deleting the VM's form my material page, and now I can't delete them at all, because I get the error message :

Uh-oh! Your material is still attached to a task and can't be deleted.

But I've deleted the rooms, so how can I delete the VM's from my materials...

[eager fulcrum]

This sounds like a bug - @deep trellis I think this one's for you

[noble talon]

btw I also have the "Webbed" badge showing twice on my profil

maybe you could remove it

[eager fulcrum]

Again, mods are discord mods. Not site staff.

[deep trellis]

If you DM me a list of the VM titles, I'll detach them from tasks. Thanks for reporting.

[scenic marten]

when im doing ssh user@... is says me: Port 22 connection refused

Any idea

[eager fulcrum]

What room? What VM? Are you definitely meant to SSH? Where'd you get the IP from? What are the first 2 octets of the IP?

[scenic marten]

MACHINE

Blue
Deploy & hack into a Windows machine, leveraging common misconfigurations issues.

10.10...

And i just copied the IP to enter the machine

[eager fulcrum]

You cannot SSH into every machine, you can't SSH into that machine

You also don't have a username or password, do you?

[scenic marten]

wdym I dont have username or password

[eager fulcrum]

For the box? You weren't given credentials

Please tell me you weren't typing your tryhackme credentials in...

[scenic marten]

hahahaha

U got me

[eager fulcrum]

Don't type in your THM creds anywhere other than the tryhackme website

Also, the instructions in the room describe what to do. They do not tell you to SSH.

[scenic marten]

I see my bad sry

Ty for supp

[naive dust]

Hey support, Maybe a question asked a few times already: I have just completed the "Complete Beginner path", then to realize that I didn´t put my real name in the profile. This means that the certificate is with my username. Can anyone help getting that corrected ?

[eager fulcrum]

Nope, not at the moment

[median hinge]

Can't you just go to Profile > General and change your full name there?

[eager fulcrum]

it doesn't apply retroactively

[median hinge]

Gotchu

[lusty kayak]

so, i have been having issues with openvpn in linux, and cannot download a new config file, it gives a 404 error, and it has been >24 hours, i know the only solution is to wait, but is there any idea how long it takes toe regenerate or whatever needs to happen/anything that can be done to speed up the process?

[hoary wyvern]

Hello ! my kali machine in the browser has a resolution issues, it always change to this, does anybody have a solution plz ?

[eager fulcrum]

Refresh?

[hoary wyvern]

it keep doing that, in chrome and firefox.

i even tried it on another pc

same thing

[slim hearth]

My room is bugged xD

[scenic marten]

On Blue Room it says that flags are wrong but i'm 100% sure that I found them correct as I search em on YT and other guys found the same flags

Last task

[rotund spruce]

The flags should be correct. The ones I found on the box were the right ones. Maybe relaunch the box and look again?

[eager fulcrum]

DM me the flags that you got

And a screenshot of exactly how you're entering them

because you need to include the flag{}

[scenic marten]

Ohhhh

You correct

[eager fulcrum]

Are you in a country that blocks VPNs like Egypt or China?

[humble merlin]

No, I'm here in the US

[eager fulcrum]

Ok. Make sure your system time is correct. Like down to the second.

[humble merlin]

Tried opening UDP on my firewall and nothing

[eager fulcrum]

You don't need to open anything on your firewall.

[humble merlin]

Time on pc or vm

both?

[eager fulcrum]

The VM should have the same time as the host, so both

You're connecting from the VM, right?

[humble merlin]

yes

connecting from vm

[eager fulcrum]

TOR or another VPN or anything else involved?

[humble merlin]

No

None

[eager fulcrum]

Ok. If your system time is correct then try another server from the dropdown. You'll need to download your config again if you change region.

[humble merlin]

I can vpn into HacktheBox by changing the upd to tcp and port 1337 to 443 and that works for htb.

*udp

I'm not having any luck with thm

[eager fulcrum]

THm doesn't support nonstandard ports or TCP

This sounds like you're on a restrictive network like a school or a business?

[humble merlin]

No, this is home network, but I am going to touch base with the ISP and get some details

Thanks NinjaJc01, will make a call here and find out if ISP is filtering out udp traffic to client or at the gateway ....

I have a student getting this error trying to connect to the attackbox through a school issued google chromebook...

Connection Error: The remote desktop server is currently unreachable.

Had similar problems at the beginning of the school year attempting to connect to a cyber range and district IT had to add a proxy script to make it work. Is that most likely the issue here?

[zealous yoke]

Hi hi hi @atomic vine could you press the "i" icon at the bottom of the screen and share the "Private IP" please? I can look at the state of it that way:

[hot wigeon]

If I hit rune time error ( on a webserver ) and all write ups i have seen says there should be a flag there what can I then do?

[eager fulcrum]

#room-help if it's a tryhackme room

I'll have to get back on that one... it's a remote learner that just sent me a screenshot.

is that no longer on the site?

make sure you have the connection profile downloaded and running it in the directory that its installed on

[wind wedge]

https://tryhackme.com/update-timezone

[leaden bronze]

that takes me back to the dashboard

[wind wedge]

It should automatically be updated

Check and it should be your timezone now

[leaden bronze]

the timezone isn't anywhere on that link you sent me

it brings me to the dashboard

redirects me

[eager fulcrum]

That's what it's meant to do

It sets your timezone.

[uncut shadow]

silly question, but what is the easiest way to buy more premium time for a THM account. I found the voucher purchase, but is there an easier way to re-up an existing sub?

[dusty escarp]

If i buy a subscription monthly it takes my money every month right? So if i only wanted 1 month i would need to cancel it after the first month and before the second payment which happens at the same day and hour as the first payment but in the next month right?

Yep, pretty much

you can cancel straight away, you wont lose your month

Noob question (I think this belongs in tech support) if I use a pseudonym for my account name, can I have a real name put on the certificates I get?

[eager fulcrum]

Yes, if you set it under Real Name on your profile

[naive dust]

Aah cool

Will real name then appear on my profile?

Oh good it isn’t

[eager fulcrum]

Only on the certificates

[naive dust]

I know it’s possible to get links to embed my profile in other things, is the same sort of thing true with the certificates? Like if someone wants a link to verify the certificate is real they can go to a THM link?

[eager fulcrum]

It needs to be set BEFORE you generate the certificate

yeah there's a way of doing that but I can't remember how RN

[naive dust]

Aah cool

I wonder if the link is related to my pseudonym

[eager fulcrum]

Or maybe there isn't

[naive dust]

Does setting your experience level on the profile settings affect what you can see on THM? Or does it just help in recommending things?

[eager fulcrum]

IIRC recommendations, and access to KoTH.

[naive dust]

Aaah cool

it's -w for specifying wordlist,
it's ~/Desktop not ~/desktop

Yeah that can be true, but some banks can take some time before processing to another country 😉

[pallid osprey]

just why???

[karmic crow]

to get to know the http port

[fringe agate]

Bz server might be running on other port maybe

[tardy vessel]

too much information for that guy to grasp

[naive dust]

i tried putting in that IP

[tardy vessel]

chill people

[pallid osprey]

vpn is working

[tardy vessel]

Dont confuse him kid

[fringe agate]

Attack machine he meant

[tardy vessel]

go back to #general

[karmic crow]

u both didnt spot that ip

but aight ill go

[pallid osprey]

we know kid

[tardy vessel]

@naive dust Hey, your Ovpn is perfectly connected, you have to enter the machine your'e attacking's ip on the address bar.

[naive dust]

ok

[naive dust]

Yeah its still not working. the vulnversity machine im trying to do's machine ip is 10.10.85.147

i put that in the web browser and it still says refused to connect

[tardy vessel]

You have entered this ip right?

[naive dust]

yes

[tardy vessel]

if yes then maybe the machine doesnot have anything on that port

try doing a nmap scan

or rustscan whatever you prefer

[naive dust]

yea port 80 isnt open

i got 21 445 139 22 3333 and 3128

the remote desktop works for the intro to linux

[tardy vessel]

Nice!, now you know..

its always preferable to do a quick portscan/nmap scan before jumping in the web-browser because the web-server will not always be on the default port(just like this one)

[naive dust]

i see, thanks for the help

guys can i use my own kali linux machine to do attacks on my rooms

[ivory drum]

yes by connecting through openvpn

[quaint trellis]

yea I've connected my kali thru the vpn but I don't know what to do next

[ivory drum]

deploy a machine and try to ping the ip

if it is pinging then it works

then just do the room

[quaint trellis]

ok thanks

Hi, I don't know why I face certain problems when using the TryHackMe. Some parts of the website doesn't seem to load correctly. I have noticed it quite often.

[scarlet harness]

Not able to view the cookies in the question What's the "Get a cookie" flag?

in the web console its not visible

[raw fossil]

I have a problem in openvpn is connected but nmap note:if it is really up,but blocking our ping probes,try -pn

[gusty lion]

My attackbox in full screen mode, is working very slow. And it’s freezing often.

What should I do?

urgent help needed

[eager fulcrum]

This channel is for directly tryhackmw related tech support.

@wary ivy It sounds like you're trying to get help with your essay for university and that sounds like cheating to me.

[remote coyote]

Hopefully this is the right spot, where do I go to stop the tryhackme announcements?

[eager fulcrum]

#bot-commands !help

[wary ivy]

um.. yes it's for my high school research essay but this isn't cheating as we are allowed to take help from external sources and i was just asking for guidance not for the entire research, and about the tryhackmw thing so is this group only for hacking related stuff (like it does include networking and security right)

[eager fulcrum]

This channel is for directly tryhackme related tech support.
Generally, when you're allowed external research that means actual sources, not strangers on the internet.

[zenith obsidian]

ill just email support cause my edu didnt get automatically detected

[gleaming musk]

is it possible to connect twice to the vpn ? Once with a host machine and then with the guest machine as well? Or is everyone port forwarding/relaying from host to guest if they wanna open a listener?

[eager fulcrum]

You should be running the VPN directly in your kali (or whatever OS you're attacking from)

[gleaming musk]

hmmm .. Well I am using both machine to attack. I guess port forwarding to the guest host it is then.

[eager fulcrum]

Well maybe look at your methodology and swap to just using the kali VM...

[gleaming musk]

What speaks against using the mac host for the tooling were it works well? Especially since I am very used to the OS, keybinds, customisations etc.

[eager fulcrum]

Because you're having to do weird stuff with NAT and port forwarding

Kali is the standard OS for hacking. It's Pentesting With Kali, not Pentesting with MacOS.

Anybody tried using a vps to connect to TryHackMe? having issues, but it seems to be because the network interface my vps is using is not the openvpn

[eager fulcrum]

So you connected to the VPN?

the network interface my vps is using is not the openvpn - It should use the VPN for specific routes if the VPN is running. How did you run the VPN? Did you then background it?

[rose current]

yes so when I lets say test if it is working I use "ping -I tun1" which is where the openvpn interface is

[eager fulcrum]

Why is it tun1?

[rose current]

I background it first but was not working, using tmux instead and leaving it open

[eager fulcrum]

This sounds like your routing table is horrifically broken

[rose current]

seems to be yeah

[eager fulcrum]

Or you have multiple instances of the VPN running

!multivpn

[sharp bison]

TryHackMe

Learn how to look for duplicate instance of your OpenVPN connection.

• Step 1

Make sure you have setup your VPN connection correctly https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn

• Step 2

Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter

• Step 3

If there's more than one line (that don't start with "grep" or sudo), do the following steps

• Step 4

Type sudo killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter

• Step 5

Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>

From TryHackMe with ❤!

[rose current]

Seems that the vps I am using came already with an internal routing of '10.116.0.3/20' on eth1

[eager fulcrum]

Yeah that shouldn't be a problem

But it should NOT be tun1

It should be tun0

[rose current]

mybad it is also in tun0, so both tun0 tun1

[eager fulcrum]

You should not have two adapters

[rose current]

but I tried 'ping -I tun0' and was not working so used tun1

[eager fulcrum]

That implies multivpn which is a problem

So please, go back and follow the steps the bot linked

[rose current]

Did not work, once I run 'sudo openvpn config.ovpn' I get it back on tun1. I tried killing opevpn both with 'sudo killall openvpn' and using the specific pid, but nothing

Do I have to delete tun0 manually?

[eager fulcrum]

Try a reboot first and foremost

[rose current]

Nice it worked, only have it in tun0. But still have the original issue of having to specified the interface for lets say 'ping -I tun0 <LAB IP>'

[eager fulcrum]

Fix ya routes then

[rose current]

Will do thanks

[rose current]

Got routes working, thanks again

[topaz elm]

I have a little issue with THM's search algorithm I want to state, which is not a big deal though. So it turns out that search function does not look for titles(names) of rooms. For example, if I type "Bl", it wont' show anything until I type "Blue". Now then, Blue room will appear.

[eager fulcrum]

Yeah it's horrifically broken compared to what it was before. Skidy's aware. A bunch of us have complained. If you could fill out the form in #feedback-and-ideas to complain then that'd be great.

i was trying to use the api to retrieve some user information can someone help me out

[eager fulcrum]

You won't be able to access the API at the moment because of cloudflare.

Hi! I requested a password recovery, but I didn't get any email.

[naive dust]

im doing the wreath room, im connected to the openvpn config and all but this happened when i tried to start the attack box and when i hover above the error symbol it shows text that says vnc.tryhackme.tech’s server IP address could not be found. idk what's wrong

[eager fulcrum]

Your ISP might be blocking vnc.tryhackme.tech from resolving

Change DNS server

[hot wigeon]

sorry to ask how do I reset my room? made a mistake so I crashed the webpage.
And stopping and starting the server didnt help

[eager fulcrum]

Do you mean reset the box? Or your progress?

[hot wigeon]

the box I crashed the wordpress by mistake by adding the exploit to the wrong file

[eager fulcrum]

Ok, click terminate

Then click Start again

[hot wigeon]

going to try that again and thanks alot and sorry for bothering

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with Ra 1.1, can I speak in private to someone in order to avoid spoilers?

[topaz elm]

is this code legit? A member from this THM discord sent me earlier?
https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting

[eager fulcrum]

Yes.

Muirland made it

[naive dust]

Tun1 and Tun0 works fine with me even when I have two OVPN working like for thm and htb

[eager fulcrum]

Ok. That's gonna be a nightmare routing wise, and that's not a common setup.

You shouldn't have more than one tun adapter in like 99% of cases.

[naive dust]

@eager fulcrum uh? is this allowed

[eager fulcrum]

I'm dealing with it.

I’m so tired reeee

Follow these steps ^

[eager fulcrum]

Go sleep ❤️

[bronze vale]

I’m ok I just need caffeine

[humble eagle]

do you mean i should use multi vpn?

[gusty lion]

My attackbox is too slow. It freezes often.
Any possible solution please.

[bronze vale]

No, that’s the steps to troubleshoot multivpn

Multivpn is when you have multiple instances of OpenVPN running at the same time

It causes some issues and a main problem is your connection dropping

[humble eagle]

so you mean my problem is with my connection

[gusty lion]

you said to me bro?

[bronze vale]

That was to Keelwa ^

[bronze vale]

Mhm, the multiple instances are causing the connection issues to the network

[humble eagle]

ok in this case i will try rebooting and reconnecting to the open vpn again

[bronze vale]

The steps tell you how to deal with it

[naive dust]

Hi, i just finished the BeginnerPath and wanted to download the certificate. After downloading, I realized that I had only entered my first name in the account settings. Is there a way to recreate the certificate with my full name?

[eager fulcrum]

Not at the moment

[naive dust]

ohh thats bad 😦

[humble eagle]

thank you it worked after rebooting and running the open vpn with sudo

[gusty lion]

Can i change my country from profile?
I had set it wrong (can't remember why) and now I find it wrong.

[eager fulcrum]

No you can't

https://tryhackme.com/update-timezone but you can get THM to do it automatically with that link

[gusty lion]

It works! Thank you

[eager fulcrum]

Not your brother

[gusty lion]

ok?

[mellow skiff]

i uninstalled openvpn with sudo apt remove openvpn and when i reinstalled it the .ovpn file was not in my downloads directory

[eager fulcrum]

Uninstalling openvpn wouldn't have touched the ovpn file

[mellow skiff]

how can i get a new .ovpn file?

[eager fulcrum]

Same way you got the old one, download it from the access page on THM

[mellow skiff]

with apt install openvpn?

oh wait

[eager fulcrum]

No. Config file.

[mellow skiff]

i see

got it thanks

im connected through openvpn but i can not access any of the machines i start.

[eager fulcrum]

Can you access http://10.10.10.10 ?

[mellow skiff]

i fixed it by reading the help page. i should have read the help page before coming here, sorry for wasting your time

[late widget]

anyone able to help with connecting to the EU vpn?

US/AU vpn works fine, apart from it's very slow

can screen record etc.

I remember a month or so back, people had the same issue as me

so I figured I'd give it some time, and wait to see if it sorts itself

but no luck a few weeks down the line

[verbal cypress]

Hey i have a Problem with a Course on TryHackMe it shows up as locked for me and that i should subscribe to premium but if i search every course by it self i can join it. Knows anybody whats wrong with it? (here is a screenshot of my problem https://imgur.com/a/o01E50Q)

[eager fulcrum]

What? What do you mean by "every course"?

You can't join the paths unless you're a subscriber

The paths container subscriber only rooms too

[copper cloud]

Yes take the Linux Fundamentals i can search that by its selfe and its shows up so i can do the frist 3 but here is it locked i have two friends they dont have premium and there is no problem they can see the free courses

[eager fulcrum]

No. Linux Fundamentals in TryHackMe is also a module. You CANNOT access all of the content in that path without subscribing.

Because there are rooms in the path that REQUIRE a subscription

[copper cloud]

But i should see the stuff that are not REQUIRE a subsciption, or not ?

[eager fulcrum]

Huh?

See where? What stuff?

Access to paths is a subscriber feature

You get like preview access to the first part of each path, or something, as a free user.

[scarlet harness]

where is the 'set-cookie' option, I am not able to find even after parsing one after the other

[eager fulcrum]

Keep looking.

That response doesn't set a cookie, but there will be one that does.

This isn't a tech support issue. You're looking in the right place. Nothing is wrong from a technical standpoint. You just need to keep looking.

[scarlet harness]

ok

[naive dust]

Hey @eager fulcrum, I'm a friend of @copper cloud.
As you can see in his screenshot (https://imgur.com/a/o01E50Q) the Complete Beginner modules are locked for him but for me they are not and I'm not subscribed too (Attached screenshot). That's his problem right now

[eager fulcrum]

Skidy might be AB testing something ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[naive dust]

ooh ok, thank you

[sturdy knot]

on production

[eager fulcrum]

Yeah. That's how AB testing works.

You test two different things in production on real users at the same time to see how each group acts differently
