click that link, it has instructions for how to verify

[random citrus]

oh i did it, thanks @livid vapor

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @livid vapor

[random citrus]

btw here is the problem image

[livid vapor]

Check the pins in this channel, there's something posted there that might be relevant (bottom pin). I don't know of that error personally.

[random citrus]

i saw 'em but did not understand the solution

[livid vapor]

are you on a work computer/network?

[random citrus]

nah its personal, btw now I regenerated and did it again this is the new error

on the bottom u can see it did fatal error

[livid vapor]

That I don't know, sorry. Hopefully somebody else will have an idea

[raven kernel]

You have to run it with sudo

[livid vapor]

Yep. Sorry, I overlooked that before.

[frozen needle]

machine is on

and openvpn is running

someone tell me pls

wtf is wrong

[livid vapor]

If you're trying to map a windows machine, it might be filtering/refusing the request

[raven kernel]

Maybe it doesn’t respond to icmp request

Also called “Ping” requests

[frozen needle]

is the machine in tryhackme

i start machine

[raven kernel]

Try to add -Pn

[frozen needle]

i try dont work

[spring grail]

is there any reason the boxes are constantly dropping offline

impossible to do the rooms

cant even hold ssh connections for more than a minute :/

[raven kernel]

Reboot the machine

[livid vapor]

Possible you have multiple vpn's running?

[frozen needle]

i have one

[livid vapor]

the multiple vpn question was for @spring grail

[frozen needle]

i have just one

[frozen needle]

im go try reboot again

[raven kernel]

I think you may have 2 connections

Cuz I can see tun1 in your screen

!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 ❤!

[frozen needle]

i can show ip

?

[raven kernel]

Yep

[raven kernel]

Yeah I know you are connected

[raven kernel]

Try these steps

[frozen needle]

the same numbers

[livid vapor]

Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
what does that show?

[raven kernel]

Did you try the above thm message?

[frozen needle]

no im go try now

[raven kernel]

First do this then reconnect to the vpn and try to ping the machine

With “ping <victim ip>”

[livid vapor]

maybe ping -c 1 <victim ip>

[raven kernel]

Doesn’t matter

[frozen needle]

and i have windows and linux

virtual box

i try in two

but nothing

[livid vapor]

True, but he might not know how to stop it

[frozen needle]

in powershell dont have greg

[raven kernel]

Bro

You have to try it in your linux machine

[livid vapor]

Did you do this?

[raven kernel]

Not in windows power shell

[frozen needle]

i have open in windows btw xD

but ok

prob

i have much vpn

'-

[raven kernel]

You can see that you have lots of connections

Sudo killall openvpn

[raven kernel]

This is the command you have to run

[frozen needle]

i clean and config again

[raven kernel]

Then you can reconnect to the vpn

[livid vapor]

Also- make sure you are only running the vpn in one place. Not on both linux and windows

If you are running a virtual machine, only run the vpn inside that, DO NOT run it on the host OS

[frozen needle]

i run in linux

thanks is work

[eager fulcrum]

You'll probably want to email support over it

[eager fulcrum]

I don't understand what you mean

But I don't think you can stack discounts.

Annual is already at a discount

You have a solution from support. You're already getting a discount because it's annual. You're not going to get any better than that by asking here. There is no one here that can help you, aside from the site support staff who have already done their best.

Support knows best

Then ask support

I am not support.

Those instructions seem clear enough to me though.

[wise marlin]

What's your OS?

[lime jackal]

Kali Linux 2021.1

[wise marlin]

in VM?

[lime jackal]

yep
virtualbox

[wise marlin]

can you connect to other stuff normally?

[naive dust]

have u tried restarting machine mirzack

[lime jackal]

yes, im able to connect to the internet, other VPNs etc

[lime jackal]

as in my kali vm? or THM VM?

[naive dust]

machine on thm

the ip

[lime jackal]

yeah ive tried that
tried VPN regen too
no luck

[naive dust]

hmm

[wise marlin]

can you connect to another rdp session from the kali vm?

[lime jackal]

it was working last night
took a few restarts but i got there
no such luck today

[lime jackal]

let me try

[wise marlin]

ive found that thm boxes really do need a good 5-10 min to boot properly

[naive dust]

ive only found that on rooms that arent in paths/smaller rooms

[lime jackal]

im able to reconnect to other rdps

[wise marlin]

oh interesting

so, just to be sure... you've tried the easy stuff? checked you have the right port? that port is open is open and ready for rdp? checked whether its encrypted or not?

[lime jackal]

so i logged into my thm vpn
activated the privesc machine on thm
used the command provided with the machines IP to try and rdp

[wise marlin]

hmm

out of curiousity, i would try the rdp from an attackbox to see if that connects

then you can eliminate whether its the machine or the network

[lime jackal]

lets have a go

[wise marlin]

yeah i know. half of learning anything infotech is troubleshooting

[lime jackal]

definitely

ill let you know

so it worked on attackbox

[wise marlin]

ah ha

so, something funky about the network connection with the vpn on the vm

been there.

[lime jackal]

any ideas on a fix?

[wise marlin]

well, i would start by checking that the VM is bridged

aka, it gets its own ip on the host NIC

[naive dust]

try vpn script

[wise marlin]

ooooooo that's a good suggestion too

[naive dust]

!vpnscript

[sharp bison]

TryHackMe

Use our VPN troubleshooting script to diagnose common issues!

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

[wise marlin]

might flush something out

so that's two things to check first

[naive dust]

yeah vpnscript fixed me having a problem so i would check it out

[lime jackal]

okay lets try

[wise marlin]

@naive dust want to hear my tech issue?

[naive dust]

sure

[wise marlin]

working on steel mountain

should be super easy with MSF

and, on the kali vm provided by THM, it is

but for some reason..... on my VM (which is Kali 2021.1 and MSF6 from github) it is not

[naive dust]

pretty sure that room is just buggy at the windows part

[wise marlin]

How do I change my country in profile?

[viral estuary]

https://tryhackme.com/update-timezone Check your profile, see if it did change. Should be automatic

[inland yacht]

Unfortunately it will redirect to dashboard...

[patent lark]

Check your profile

[inland yacht]

I didn't get it anywhere..

[viral estuary]

https://tryhackme.com/p/<your-username> . There you should see the flag of your country

[inland yacht]

I visited that also but showing UK country.
But now showing the right one....Don't know what's going on..

[viral estuary]

https://tryhackme.com/update-timezone redirects to the dashboard, yes, but it updates the country as well. That's why I mentioned checking your profile. To assure that it did change the flag/country.

[naive dust]

Hi! I would like to request a little fix in the OnClick event function for the card header div (for cards in any room). When you finish reading a card and expand the next one you should see the top of the new card (At the moment the previous card collapses and you end up in the middle or the end of the expanded card).

[eager fulcrum]

That sounds like something that'd be great in the form in #feedback-and-ideas

[naive dust]

Oh, didn't see that channel, tnx.

[toxic merlin]

I'm not sure what channel to ask this in, so I'll ask here. Today I hit my 7-day streak, and it says that a 7-day streak comes with access to networks. But in my access area it says I don't have access to any networks. What networks am I supposed to be gaining access to?

[harsh tundra]

the network you should be able to access with a 7 day streak is wreath: https://tryhackme.com/room/wreath, can you see if you can access it?

Can I print a file??? (What I mean is that I print the file as a dot sequence or something like that and then when I scan it it turns back into a file)

[fervent storm]

Guys, could you please help me out. Receiving no response from Burp Suite after uploading .php file:

It just does not change to Success

[modest sonnet]

you can try renaming the request file name to shell.png.pHp and Content-type image/png

[livid vapor]

I also submitted that same fix/idea/request a little while back, but I think they are focused on more important things for the time being.

[modest sonnet]

Maybe it doesnt have an error message 🤷‍♂️

[fervent storm]

After some waiting, getting this:

[modest sonnet]

perhaps redeploy the machine would work because it can be unhappy for attacks sometimes

[fervent storm]

Did twice already

[modest sonnet]

ok, then lemme think alot

[fervent storm]

Some weird things happens lately 🤨

What is this IP btw?

Cause VM IP is different

So basically I click forward on Burp Suite and nothing happens

[modest sonnet]

if there is any dns else, can you try it on that?

[past birch]

so ive been having this issue where the machine im in is running out of time so i extend the time but it still expires on me and now, having had that just happen it wont let me start the machine again(button wont allow me to push it) and i also cant seem to terminate the machine either

[modest sonnet]

refresh the page?

[past birch]

this has been an ongoing problem

[livid vapor]

Rooms only get 1-2 hours to start, and you can only extend them for a max of like 6 hours I think, but each time you extend it is 1 extra hour

I cant download my vpn pack for the throwback network from the access page, it returns a 404 error

Okay

[covert smelt]

so I'm trying to do one of the linux fundamental rooms

and I can't seem to ssh into the room

I'm using the following command:

ssh shiba3@....
password: happynootnoises

but its saying permission denied

the ... is the ip address that has been designated to me

[marsh helm]

So for the "Kenobi" room. I ran the NMAP scanning all ports , my scan detected ||11|| open ports. Though the correct ans to number of open port is || 7|| Am I doing something wrong or should the correct answer be || 11||

[plush gate]

I had the same issue. I suspected that the higher ports were false positives because they seemed to change over time.

@covert smelt There was someone in #room-bugs recently who had a similar issue. They could solve the issue by: Please doube check you have no other VMs running by going through the other rooms: https://tryhackme.com/rooms and then also make sure you're using the correct IP to connect to.

[covert smelt]

Thank-you. I foolishly type in the ip of the VM instead of the room

[plush gate]

Good to hear you figured it out 🙂 Have fun.

[marsh helm]

For me I do not have any other boxes running. Though this seems odd to be a false positive.

[lime depot]

Good morning to everyone .. Can i ask something about a problem with a Kali Linux Virtual Machine problem?

when i try to connect to thm its not working i try to use regenarete and deleting openvpn but still nothing changed

its like in the while never stopping

[eager fulcrum]

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

Potentially Turkey too, recently

[coral anvil]

nope

[eager fulcrum]

Try a different server from the list then.

[coral anvil]

my friends can connect to thm

[misty sun]

delete the vpn config file, re download a new one, try too reconnect, if that doesn't work uninstall openvpn an reinstall openvpn then re try the process.

[eager fulcrum]

No no no

[misty sun]

are you using any other vpns or proxies?

[eager fulcrum]

That's excessive

i deleted openvpn and downloaded again

Try a different VPN server

not working

okay

okay that worked

AoC day 20 machine isn't loading for me, it's been 4 minutes

and it doesn't respond to SSH and ping

oh wait

it booted

[haughty glacier]

..

[novel inlet]

it said wait 3 minutes not 4

[haughty glacier]

confirming up or not with ssh or ping isn't always a great indicator either but I'm not sure about that box specifically

given it could a) not respond to icmp requests (ping) and not have ssh as a service or on a non standard port

[novel inlet]

ahh okay

I wouldn't have tested with SSH anyways, but the task said I had to log in with SSH

[haughty glacier]

ok 🙂

[naive dust]

Not sure if this is the correct room....Needing help with my alias thmvp again as I had to re-install my machine again.

i'm typing "alias thmvpn="tmux new -s THMVPN "sudo openvpn ~/Downloads/rokie.ovpn "" but it still doesn't open in my terminator

I'm also saving the file as .bashrczsh since i'm using terminator

Uhmmmmm, i need help....now i erased everything from my .bashrczsh file how do i restore this 😦 (Fixed: restored it copying from /etc/bash.bashrc)

[haughty glacier]

lol roki 😦

I would suggest (though I only just made one myself) getting stuff like dotfiles into a version control system like github, so you always have them somewhere to re-deploy, especially if you put some time into them

[daring garnet]

Any help???

[naive dust]

Do you have a specific video or resource explaining this ??

That's very interesting!

[haughty glacier]

i'll answer in infosec general

[naive dust]

I have a problem with the connection on the attackbox

does anyone know how to fix it

[haughty glacier]

can you give a bit more detail on the problem?

what are you trying to do

[severe furnace]

Is there a way I can see all my currently deployed machines?

[naive dust]

so I'm just doing the openvpn last task, I have to verify that I'm connected by answering what the flag is on a website

but I can't connect to that site

no connection

[haughty glacier]

well you don't need openvpn for attackbox

[naive dust]

hmm

what do we need openvpn for then

[haughty glacier]

there are two main ways to do THM stuff

attackbox - browser based system deployment to use for the rooms, its on thE THM network by default

alternatively you use OpenVPN to connect to the THM Network so you can complete the rooms from your own system of choice (typically a pen-testing VM like Kali)

[naive dust]

oh alrightt

thankyou

but for example on this task

To complete the questions below, navigate to http://MACHINE_IP/evilshell.php.

[haughty glacier]

that looks like you haven not deployed the machine

[viral estuary]

What about from here? https://tryhackme.com/my-machine

[naive dust]

I visited that website on my attackbox but it was just a plain site in only html form

I searched the task on google and I saw that that task was different on someone else

[haughty glacier]

did you click "start machine"?

[eager fulcrum]

There's a JS snippet pinned in #resources

[naive dust]

yes

[eager fulcrum]

That only shows the attackbox/kali

[haughty glacier]

it might not work from attackbox, let me test

[naive dust]

I mean the website was different

[naive dust]

alright

I'll try it from my Kali machine then

[haughty glacier]

this room is all about connecting to THM with a VPN but you are trying to do it from attackbox so its not really relevant

and it also doesn't feel like you learned any of that

lol

[eager fulcrum]

If the website was different, you probably deployed the wrong machine.
If you're seeing MACHINE_IP then you didn't deploy the target

[haughty glacier]

I just did it now and it connected fine from attack box

[naive dust]

okay I get the connecting to openvpn part, but I don't get why it is showing me a different website than others

[haughty glacier]

so you should be able to complete it

[naive dust]

alright I'll try

[haughty glacier]

make sure you deployed the "target" machine

and then have to wait till the "MACHINE_IP" changes to the real IP

and THEN maybe wait a minute or two to ensure the website is loaded

[naive dust]

alright I get it now

thankss

@dark flax-support Hey, just wondering if anyone can help me out. I purchased the wrong subscription for Throwback. I bought a 6 months subscription and when trying to redeem it on throwback it says Uh-oh! This voucher code has already been redeemed.

@potent flame if you're trying to get on the attackbox this video guide should help. you can use a browser to access it

best to email [e-mail] for something like this

[proven bobcat]

Ok. Thank you

[limber hazel]

I am connected via vpn but cant ping 10.10.98.213. I have tried openvpn-troubleshooting script as well but without any success.

[harsh tundra]

what box is this for? some machines (primarily windows) do not respond to ping so it could just be that

can you ping 10.10.10.10?

[limber hazel]

no. I cant ping 10.10.10.10
and the box is for owasp top 10 room

[harsh tundra]

i'm not on my vm atm so i can't check the status of that box, but if you can't ping 10.10.10.10 then something else is the problem

could you show the window of you connecting to the vpn?

[limber hazel]

where can I share the log file.

I am terribly unhappy today. Because I chose to access THM on Sunday afternoon instead of Sunday morning, I dropped from 44 days to zero. https://tryhackme.com/p/johntbaileytx#yearly-activity

[naive dust]

It really feels terribly unfair.

[harsh tundra]

looks like it's connected fine, do you have a route to to the thm network? ip route

hey, sorry that sucks :( you might be able to get this streak restored if you email support explaining that above

[tender flicker]

can't ping boxes

reinstalled ovpn config

[delicate elm]

hey its a general doubt which one is the best in scanning

like just nmap or nmap in metasploit(msfconsole)

[tender flicker]

dunno but nmap in metasploit takes a lot of resources

metasploit framework kinda heavy

[delicate elm]

ohho k

[random cape]

I connected to tryhackme machines through OpenVpn,then I deployed a machine in OWASP juice room and tried to connect to it from browser,but the page is not opening,then I terminated the machine and deployed another machine in another room,even it is not opening,why?

[raven kernel]

Did you scan the open ports?

[random cape]

No

[raven kernel]

Eh

Not all the machines have port 80 open

First do an nmap scan

[random cape]

But the machine in OWASP juice room does,I connected to the machine successfully yesterday,but today it is not opening

[raven kernel]

Then scan with the -sV -sC flags th3 open ports

When you deploy a machine you have to do every time a port scan and see what services are running in x port

[raven kernel]

I think that the juice shop box has the port 3000

Open for http

[delicate elm]

problem with indian vpn @random cape

[gilded quartz]

I am having an issue with using NMAP. When I run nmap -A <ip of machine>, this shows me that there are zero ports open although it contains open ports under 1000 (I knew this from writeups). When I use -Pn tag, then also same problem. What can I do to resolve this issue?

[elder drift]

I was also experiencing problems with nmap. I think there is indeed a problem with indian vpn as @delicate elm mentioned. Switching to EU vpn worked for me

[delicate elm]

nice to hear that

some moderator please look into this problem if u know this problem exsists and working on it kindly igonre this msg

hello !
I can't download my openvpn file to join throwback network. I land on a 404 page (with vader)

[dusk wing]

i cant use the attack box cause it's very lag

[glad egret]

@sleek rose How are you trying to access rooms? Via your own VM or with the AttackBox?

[sleek rose]

i have my own vm @glad egret

[glad egret]

Did you run "sudo openvpn yourvpnconfig.ovpn" command in your terminal on your vm?

[sleek rose]

yes i did. i also went to access tab on THM and it shows that i am connected

[glad egret]

You may need to regenerate your config file

[sleek rose]

i did that a few hours ago but it still did not wor out for me

My region is india, in case there is a problem regarding the region i selected

[glad egret]

Try one more time. Make sure your using the correct config file

I don't think region would be the issue

[sleek rose]

ok i will regenerate my config and try again

[glad egret]

When I regenerate, I will delete my previous file first so there's no confusion on my part

[sleek rose]

ok i will get to it right now. In case that does not work then i will message in this channel again, is that okay

?

[glad egret]

Sounds good!

[sleek rose]

ok, i regenerated my vpn and started it. Still facing the same issue @glad egret

[glad egret]

When you run the vpn, are you getting any errors?

[sleek rose]

no, it shows me initialization sequence completed. That means there is no issue right?

[glad egret]

Yeah, shouldn't be any issues then

Is it one room you're trying?

[sleek rose]

i tried two different rooms. one was a ctf another one was a walkthrough . Same issue on both

i looked at some messages above and i guess there is some issue with indian vpn rn.

[glad egret]

Ahhh. Well nothing you can do rn then. Looks like you'll have to wait until that's resolved unfortunately

Sorry we couldn't get it working for you :/

[sleek rose]

no worries, i understand

[delicate elm]

@sleek rose if ur using an India open vpn file please change it to any another country the issue will be resolved

What's wrong with these tryhackme machines,I deployed a machine in OWASP juice shop room,I connected to the network through OpenVpn then I tried to access the machine,but it is not opening. I did an nmap scan on it,it showed all 1000 ports are filtered. How can we access the machines then? Even the 10.10.10.10 site is not opening

Yesterday they worked well,but today every thing went wrong

But yeah try @random cape's advice for the meanwhile

just remember to switch back to the IN-Regular-1 server after generating your config file on another

That's illegal. Please do not ask that here.

[hollow mauve]

im on my own home internet, plus i dont even know how to code a simple line

im trying to do it on my old computer'

[eager fulcrum]

This isn't up for debate.
Unauthorised access to computer systems is illegal.
Hacking and programming are not the same thing.

[hollow mauve]

ill figure it on my own then

oh

you thought i was hacking

nopoo

i was trying to get remote desktop connection lmaoooo

[barren birch]

@hollow mauve if you're looking to remote connect to a computer you control then look at PsRemoting/WinRM/VNC/RDP or commercial apps like TeamViewer.
If you're looking to gain unauthorised access (to anything -- given we can't confirm that you own the second machine) then I would prefer you didn't 🙂

thx

Ok. This is even weirder. I can access http://10.10.10.10/ but am unable to get any response from machines in the rooms.

[eager fulcrum]

Not all machines in rooms respond to pings

[upper coyote]

I've tried other things also. -Pn flag on the DVWA machine also gets me nothing.

[snow cedar]

On changing the server to eu 1 solved the issue

[upper coyote]

which server were you on previously?

[snow cedar]

india

[upper coyote]

maybe it is the india server.

[snow cedar]

Yeah, I was unable to ping my vm through attackbox

[wide oasis]

maybe there's a description on room itself that this machine is not pingable? Have you check that?

or chances are it'll take sometime to be able to get pinged, so you might have to wait, i think

[upper coyote]

Definitely the india server.

[upper coyote]

I tried alot of things. been on it for a few hours now.

[wide oasis]

are you connected to THM's vpn?

[upper coyote]

This solved it though.

[wide oasis]

can't say for sure, i haven't happen to experience this issue.

Yup. There is some issue with the IN server. Once I connected to EU server it was all good.

Hey - I am trying to start the Nessus Room using the THM Attackbox and not only has it been roughly 2 hours since Nessus started to compile plugins but the machine is running out of disk space so this will probably never finish... Any chance you could either mention this in the notes of the room or increase disc size or something?

The Nessus room tells you to create your own VM for this

Hi all, I seem to always have a problem when using -- show with a wordlist on john, but when i dont use a wordlist it works fine. Has anyone come across this?

e.g.

while
john hash --show
outputs the correct info

[candid yacht]

show prints john.pot (usually found here ~/.john/john.pot )contents for the given hash if you’ve cracked it before. really just a prettier way to print the cracked password

No. It's via the same VM's browser every day

duh, then it must be a glitch

i think it doesn't matter with which browser you're opening THM. It'll be same for all browser.

nah, I encountered it when I reinstalled firefox, that's why I thought it could be a reason

should be an issue. Does it happens everytime?

I have to boot the kali machine again

[bronze thicket]

oh

hmm

thats strange

[flint anvil]

let me reboot

[bronze thicket]

that warning is only supposed to be for the first time

then it shouldn't appear

[flint anvil]

it happenes everytime I login

[bronze thicket]

did you make changes to you /etc/sudoers file

[flint anvil]

nope

[bronze thicket]

is it something like ```
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

[bronze thicket]

uhhh

oh that one

one sec

[flint anvil]

yes

[modest ocean]

Let me google

[flint anvil]

Sure

[bronze thicket]

cat /etc/sudoers.d/privacy

please output the file please

not the entire thing

just Defaults

[flint anvil]

ok

[bronze thicket]

does the command even work

[flint anvil]

no

it says no file exists

[bronze thicket]

I think if you set lecture to never it will be surpressed

huh

alright

[flint anvil]

How do I fix it then??

[novel inlet]

is nessus always processing plugins for an hour straight on kali?

or is it just the first time

[haughty glacier]

it takes a fair while the first time, i spun up a separate VM entirely for it and for that room

[novel inlet]

ahh okay

well I'm not doing it for the nessus room

[haughty glacier]

well probably move to infosec general then 😄

[eager fulcrum]

#infosec-general for things that aren't directly THM related please.

More aimed at the people above but eh

[novel inlet]

mb I thought everything tech related was supposed to be in here👌

[flint anvil]

How do I fix this??

I've been trying to download the vpn for wreath but its redirecting to error page
I tried to regenerate it too but it's still redirecting to error page

Can someone help me with this

[zenith cradle]

why dirbuster won't work anymore on attackbox?

[shadow heath]

Which adapter is good for network monitoring and packet injection? Under $13-$14 is preferred.

[twin wraith]

@eager fulcrum can someone help me i have a issue

[eager fulcrum]

#infosec-general please

[eager fulcrum]

Don't just ping me when you need help. Everyone here is a volunteer. Ask and see who responds.

[twin wraith]

can u help

[eager fulcrum]

You haven't asked a question

[twin wraith]

i got a certificate on my username for completing "complete beginner" series in tryhackme

can i get the certificate on my real name

is it possible

[eager fulcrum]

Not if it's already generated.

[twin wraith]

its already generated

😭

[wide oasis]

check your vpn connection
check if your attackbox is pingable
and check if you can run alternatives like gobuster, etc.

[wide oasis]

fam, i don't think so that you'll get your real name on the certificate once its generated, but chances are I might be wrong :))

[slim pagoda]

When resetting a network on Throwback. Are the machines also refreshed?

[eager fulcrum]

Yes, that's all the reset does

Sets all the machines back to the disk image+state that they're originally deployed from

Hello, I'm doing Year of the rabbit... How do I make the sound work over the browser? Or should I use VPN

[limpid badger]

Do you know how to fix this?

[eager fulcrum]

Have you googled the error?

[limpid badger]

Yes, I need to change color depth, but how do I do that?

[eager fulcrum]

Follow the instructions on google

[limpid badger]

Yes, they just say to change color depth, but no one explains how to access that panel to change color depth

[lime venture]

I get a 404 error when trying to download the OpenVPN file for Wreath. What to do now?

[haughty glacier]

I've seen a few people mention that lately actually, I'm not sure personally, might need site admins to look at that

[naive dust]

Hello, I've enrolled in the Complete Beginner path, and suddenly my points stopped updating. So, my rank and level are also stuck. I've completed two rooms and answered more than 50 questions after this issue and still, my points are not increasing 😦
What should I do?

[dusky raft]

Same for me too

[haughty glacier]

some rooms have no associated points, so this might be intentional

[naive dust]

But my friend got points for the same rooms...

[haughty glacier]

interesting, might take a bit to update? I'm not sure then

[naive dust]

I hope so

but its's already two days after that

[haughty glacier]

you could email support and see if they can look into it I think, the mods here can't do a lot for the site but I'm sure if they know something they might be able to chime in

Hello guys, thank you for your job on TryHackMe.
It's been a while since I signed up with an email address that was not my academic email address.
Now I would like to upgrade my account and go premium. I updated my account with my academic email address a few days ago.
However, the 20% student discount is still unavailable. Can you please help me? (I also sent a mail to [e-mail] with more details)

[bronze vale]

Hey!

I’m the only person who manages discounts and a few other various problems. If you’ve emailed me, that’s great!

[inner carbon]

responder.py does not forward the requests to multirelay.py

@inner carbon #infosec-general for things that aren't THM related

[naive dust]

I keep getting the popup to acces this machine, you need to either use VPN or use the attackbox. Is this a generic pop up or is my vpn not working properly?(I have my openvpn enabled)

[eager fulcrum]

Screenshot please?

[wide oasis]

Uhh i posted this before but got no replies and that's fine, but here's again,
Whenever i try to message a friend on THM, after clicking on "New Message" button, nothing happens :/

[eager fulcrum]

I think messages are broken atm

[wide oasis]

i tried everything but nothing happened

[eager fulcrum]

A bunch of us couldn't load any of our messages before

[wide oasis]

sir jabba told me to check errors in console and i checked them and there are bunch of warnings and 1 error but didn't know how to solve the issue

thankyou sir @eager fulcrum

[naive dust]

didn't know the correct way to take a screenshot on my vm

[wide oasis]

use greenshot tool to take screenshots

[naive dust]

ty

[eager fulcrum]

Close it I guess

[eager fulcrum]

Snipping tool works

[wide oasis]

yess

[naive dust]

if my vpn wasn't working I shouldn't be able to acces to machine right?

[wide oasis]

but i prefer greenshot more,, with that tool, i can edit ss much more :))

[wide oasis]

yes

[naive dust]

then all is fine ty

[lilac elbow]

I created a new team and accidentally left without the remembering the password, I was the only member but now when i try recreate the team it says the team name has been taken. Is there a way i can sort this?

[wide oasis]

try to use another team name

[lilac elbow]

Obviously that will work, but i want to use my actual team name i submitted the first time around... I didnt want to leave

Surely if the team has no members it should be deleted

[wide oasis]

i don't know about this then 🙂

[wicked falcon]

Hey guys, sorry if this isn’t done correctly this is my first time using discord. Can anyone confirm that all VMs run on the new Mac M1?

[eager fulcrum]

TryHackMe runs the virtual machines on AWS

[wicked falcon]

Okay sweet. No compatibility issues? Just checking before I buy. appreciate you!

[eager fulcrum]

You might have compatibility issues running your own VMs, but the attackbox and target machines run on AWS.
If you're a free user, you have limited attackbox usage but if you subscribe it's unlimited

[quiet totem]

Could anyone tell me why when i go to this specific url https://tryhackme.com/hacktivities?tab=search it consistently says that it is not secure

https://prnt.sc/12jsw2u

[drowsy sparrow]

Heyo, I'm not sure why but I keep trying to do a room through OpenVPN and it consistently stops working after a minute or so, forcing me to restart the openvpn connection (or wait 2 min for it to reping)

[quiet totem]

are you running it as sudo

[drowsy sparrow]

It's running locally on my windows computer

(just doing some website security rooms)

https://i.imgur.com/5TJ2UO8.png like it suddenly stops receiving packets

and then I get a ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

[livid vapor]

check to make sure you aren't running multiple vpn's

[drowsy sparrow]

Hm, it doesn't seem like it. I only have openvpn on my system and there's only 1 process running

[livid vapor]

how'd you verify only 1 proc?

[quiet totem]

you could try to change the port in the conf file

[livid vapor]

I don't think that's a route you want to go

[drowsy sparrow]

Er like I only open 1 openvpn window (as administrator) after making sure it's not running in task manager

[quiet totem]

if all else fails I would try to change the proto to tcp or the port

if you dont think that works it's worked for me while my openvpn wasn't working 🙂

[livid vapor]

The openvpn settings are built that way for a reason

[quiet totem]

but you could just redownload the conf file regardless

and if it doesn't work what else is there to lose lmaoo

i downvote you as a person

[livid vapor]

If you're not able to provide helpful advice to others, then you shouldn't be providing advice that could be harmful. And trying to manipulate the vpn config would be harmful.

[drowsy sparrow]

i mean it works

it just only works for 30s-1min lol

[quiet totem]

On the access page of tryhackme it literally use to say if it doesn't work try switching ports or protocols

so idk what you're talking ab bro

@drowsy sparrow try downloading a diff configuration file

[prime escarp]

Not sure if this is the place to post it, I think so. Lemme know If I'm wrong. I'd like to ask if the badge which is refer to, is this one

[haughty glacier]

I believe that badge is an OSINT Dojo Badge by the OSINT Dojo Team, and their own respective website, not a TryHackMe badge, to find out more about their system you can check their website

If you are absolutely sure I think it might be possible

[haughty glacier]

click your icon top right, "profile", "other", and scroll down and there should be an option.

[eager fulcrum]

What data can't you change?

[brisk bough]

Friend of mine is having the following issue:
when he's connected to the THM VPN he has no access to internet on his kali, anyone knows what can cause that ?

[eager fulcrum]

Don't use the OS VPN manager, it adds bad routes.
Someone's said there's a checkbox, something like "Use this connection for all traffic" or similar, so it might be that.
Command Line openvpn works best

[vapid shard]

Yes I am sure

[vapid shard]

Country and username

Is this the correct room to ask about OpenVPN?

[eager fulcrum]

Yes, if it's for THM

[sudden rain]

Cool, i'm in the right place. I was able to connect using Ubuntu via WSL, but do I need to be a subscriber as well?

[eager fulcrum]

No

[sudden rain]

I can see the ip in the terminal, but it's either firewalled or timing out. Not sure if I'm missing something obvious

wont open in the browser

[sweet skiff]

Thank you. Will give this a try later

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @eager fulcrum

[haughty glacier]

Is the browser being launched by WSL?

WSL is basically a virtual environment and doesn't have impacts or hooks to the rest of windows

[sudden rain]

no, it's on the windows side. I guess that's why it's not working.

[haughty glacier]

It can be made work but it will require some research and probably beyond scope of what most people will be able to help you with kind of 'on your own' method

yeah if you want to for sure use windows you are better off using the OpenVPN client I think

[sudden rain]

I'll check that out, thank you! 🙂

[haughty glacier]

and inversely, if you do that, I'm not actually sure your WSL will run through that vpn (you could test it)

[eager fulcrum]

WSL2 is actualyl a VM

[sudden rain]

I suppose it is acceptable to terminate openvpn connection with ctrl-c? there are no other steps necessary?

in the WSL terminal

[haughty glacier]

yeah that should terminate it

[hot wigeon]

I have also tried to re authenticate my paypal to tryhackme but it still gives me that I cant wont allow me to pay for the subscription

Which is unfortunate. I have an unbroken streak, but a few "blanks" on the heatmap that are a little annoying.

[wide oasis]

vulnhub platform provides you downloadable machines but doesn't provide THM's machines :)

[pure river]

hello,anybody encountered an error TLS negotition failed?
i've tryed all of the troubleshooting opetions to check if thats the only error whold be glad to get help

[eager fulcrum]

Check your system time, try a different server from the dropdown

[pure river]

system time updated,updated iptables just in case try'ed port triggering,try'ed using a different internet connection,try'ed stupidly allowing firewall rules on the host,try'ed all servers - intersting thing server 1 and server 2 certs dont match at all and server 2 config file drops emidditly due to fatal config error

if anybody has any ideas of fixing or bypassing this issue it'll help me the most,I really like THM as a stating point rather than practacing vulnhub and HTB-which has openvpn port 443 support which works for me 😰

[pure river]

note - if anybody asks,ISP router firewall feature on high security apprently blocked the connection,setting it to low and while connected back to high did the trick

[balmy wedge]

was wondering if the attackbox is naturally laggy or its the case only with free tier?

[willow charm]

2>/dev/null — Suppresses errors We use it but don't know it's done

[slim hearth]

This probably meant that they also blocked connections from inside to outside.. Normally a firewall only blocks incoming connections but outgoing is usually a default permit (unless configured differently). Also explains why 443 did work for you because they just put a default permit list in your firewall then..

[fallow knoll]

Hey, I wanna know if it's scheduled or even in the long term that TryHackMe gonna support Openvpn over TCP 443. I'm using it for HackTheBox and it's working fine with me, so It's better to use than other sophisticated ways to hide traffic or obfuscated vpn.

[slim hearth]

If I remember correctly TCP 443 only gets used so that people don't need to open another port on the router (if egress connections gets blocked), this is particular useful for users from China and/or other country's where the government isn't really happy with VPNs... Other then that I cant really get on something why TCP 443 would be better then the standard UDP port.. Besides that I have no idea if THM is going to support TCP 443 soon.

It will impact performance tho because of TCP

But dont @ me on this, not 100% sure if this would be the only reason ;p

[naive dust]

The website is really slow for me! Anyone?

[wind wedge]

Nope, pretty quick for me

[vague mesa]

I have a question

[eager fulcrum]

You would not have to open a port on your router either way because it's outbound.

[vague mesa]

if som one track your ip adresse

can they hack your computer

some how

[lime jackal]

hi everyone
im attempting brainstorm
machine has been started, ive connected to the vpn
whenever i try to run an nmap scan, it keeps saying
"Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn"
ive tried doing with -Pn... but the scan ETA is 3hours lol
any ideas how to get around this?

[slim hearth]

Some routers do block outbound depends on the security level but indeed 9/10 dont

[eager fulcrum]

Yes, but that's not what opening ports means or does.

[haughty glacier]

what nmap command are you running

[lime jackal]

nmap -p- MACHINE IP
then
nmap -Pn -p- MACHINE IP

[haughty glacier]

well, scanning every single port can take a while, you can change the threads (-T) to be faster, or do a syn scan (-sS) which might also be faster

typically I would run a sudo nmap which I think does sS by default

[lime jackal]

so i tried -T4.. eta was still 1 hour or something
sS is a good idea

so what would your command be for speed?

[haughty glacier]

sudo nmap -sC -sV -oA nmap/defaults <ip-address>

for more help we can move to room help or hints because this is mainly for vpn type issues and I think yours is more room/tool specific

[lime jackal]

sure, lets do it

[slim hearth]

What does it mean then? Seems like the "standard" daily usage ports to call them this way are allowed outbound and the others ports are blocked/closed ?

[eager fulcrum]

Opening ports is for inbound access

[slim hearth]

Also for outbound? In a firewall you have most of the time 2 different sets of firewall rules (mostly called LAN and WAN) ? Quick example is PFSense

In this way you can control inbound and outbound connections but outbound is most of the time an implicit permit
