I'd like to know why the new badge "Networking Nerd" didn't pop for me even tho i cleared it all and recleared one of them just to be sure. Is it a bug ?
I'm trying to connect with OpenVPN on my Kali Linux virtual machine, but for some reason the IP of my deployed machine isn't working, but some other random IP is?
Please provide some more detail
The phrase "isn't working" doesn't provide much detail
Ok, so if I put the machines IP into my browser it fails to connect. But if I put in a different IP (while typing my one, it suggests a different one) it comes up with the site that says I'm connected to the network
oh okay. It's the vulnversity room. Should a different IP to the one displayed in the "Active machine information" box work?
That machine does not run a web server on port 80. It's fine.
Yes. You're on a network with hundreds or thousands of machines.
Ah okay, thank you π
Hello there I have a doubt. I already have a month subscription. Now if I redeem a voucher within the first subscription period will the new voucher will extend my premium or it will reset and my old subscription will be wasted?
@rustic valley you can't redeem the voucher if you're currently subscribed
No, only when they're used.
Roger that
hey some1 know how i can change my username ?
i mean i wanna share my badges and stuff but i dont like the name
It's a feature of discord.
wrote support; got no answer π
It's not instant
It's a real person working for support.
They do not work 24/7.
It's also a single person.
Remember they might be busy.
Is anyone from support still around?
just sent an email about subscribing issues and I cannot start another box today unless I subscribe
Official support needs to be handled via email
You can start the target machines just fine. The attackbox is the only thing with that restriction.
Make your own Kali VM. Connect it to the THM VPN.
pinging it back to not get it flooded
Hi, i'm trying to connect to the room/rpmetasploit (metasploit) on the website but its keep on loading. I have no problem with any other room. I tried to connect to /room/metasploit instead but the page show : "Owner has made this room private.". I tried to connect to it for the last 3 days but no result. Can someone help me ?
That's a site bug.
Ok, do i need to do something on my end or i should just do something else the time it get fix ?
I don't think there's much you can do
10-4
What keyboard shortcut?
This isn't exactly a tech-support issue. This is a #room-hints kind of thing @GregM#4160
Could I come here to get help on extending my Kali storage? I've used VBoxManage in cmd to resize it, and loaded up GParted in my VM to then extend the partition, but it doesn't let me extend it. I can extend the small partition, but not the first main one
if not, no worries
should say "keyboard shortcut'. \
@polar elk this channel is for directly THM related tech support like site or VPN issues
nm lol. duh
ah okay
Hi my friend is trying to log in in her kali VM, she was logged in to just her windows and updated her email and PW on there first as she didnt know if she remembered them but its not just saying they are wrong on kali, any ideas?
On the site or on the Kali Linux Machine?
on the site on a kali vm
Has your friend emailed support by any chance?
Has she tried the password reset feature?
email didnt come through
but we did try it
shes just changed the email so going to do another reset
she is successfully logged in outside of the VM
To avoid discussing sensitive information over Discord, if she canβt get it to work, get her to email support@tryhackme.com and Iβll assist her there :)
will do thank you π
:)
Awesome sauce!

It will vary from room to room @halcyon leaf
It's better for #general
Oh yea since you are here its fine, general is messy
is there a list of the rooms sorted by difficulty/relevance ?
No
Difficulty is categorised into five categories, not a smooth scale over all 400+ rooms
Oh that makes sense
Thanks for the help btw, I'm just a beginner btw and I'm trying to get the best benefit from the site π
Yeah same as me
cant terminate a machine. i refresh the page and it says its still up. any reason why?
I was having some trouble with the upload vulnerabilities room. With burpsuite on and the proxy enabled, the page at java.uploadvulns.thm wouldn't load at all, so I couldn't intercept anything from it or modify anything sent to it. This was from my own linux machine that was connected over the vpn; when I tried it in the attack box, it worked just fine. Why would it not work from my machine, but work just fine from the AttackBox?
I am trying to scan my website using Nikto tool in powershell using my ip, i have been getting this error with -host flag please help. i hid my ip address. thank you
Put --host instead of -host. Give it a try
ran the troubleshooting py script and It didnt find anything, but my vpn seems to keep losing connectivity
rest of my net is fine
Have you tried to change vpn server and regenerate the ovpn pack?
Nope, wasn't sure if regenerating would actually change anything. I'll give it a shot
metasploit room page is just kept on loading ..the page is not responding
yeah regenerating and changing servers didn't fix anything.
This problem is reported by many users. But have you tried to troubleshoot it by yourself?
What's the output when you run your ovpn pack?
That's a site bug
There's nothing they can do really...
Hmm i see
Hi all, my son is currently going through the beginner path and hes on the Linux fund pt3. When doing the WGET towards assets.tryhackme.com to get the myfile.txt......it perma times out / network unreachable.
Still the same error
Hmm,, are you sure that webserver is running on port 80 and not on other port?
i dont know which port it is running on, can u tell me how to check?
Run the nmap scan
nmap -p- IP
This channel is related to site and vpn issue. I would recommend you to move to #infosec-general
Running wget to assets.tryhackme.com isn't one of the tasks in that room.
Assuming you are on task 4 question 3 the goal is:
okay
Is this the channel where I can ask about Discord support?
It's for THM tech support, usually VPN issues and the like.
Where can I go for Discord support? Thanks lol
for the Discord application itself, unrelated to TryHackMe? I don't know. Either their website, or their discord channel
what's the issue?
I notice people have these fancy certification tags and I wanted to know how I could validate mine and get one too
*roles
Sure, which certs have you acquired?
One sec

I'm not entirely sure, but I think so.
Thanks

Hey, I need to change my profile country
its taking me to dashboard
Thanks its done
I am having problem connecting vpn. Here is the screenshot
The error I am getting is "The file could not be read or doesn't contain vpn recognized vpn connection information"
someone any idea?
Hi everyone, I was wondering how I could get the badge "Networking nerds" because I finished the network fundamentals module and I didn't get it
Where are you getting that error?
Are you connecting from the command line?
Am I in the proper channel ? Should I DM or @ a mod ? (rules says only to do it about another member, so I'm a bit stuck)
Mods are not site staff. They're not here to provide support.
Sorry I didn't mean to be rude, I just want to know where I can ask my question π (I don't use discord much)
Well you're currently encountering a site bug
Here was appropriate, or #site-bugs
The site staff are aware that people aren't getting the badge.
Oh ok, it's a known issue, got it. Thanks for the quick answer π
Im really sorry this is probably asked 100times a day but how do i ssh into a deployed machine? Ik its ssh username@ip but what do i put in username and password again? Its been a while and if this is a room answer or some spoiler plz just point me to the room so i could walk through it again. Thank you very much :)
I just earned my certificate for completing the complete beginner track. I generated the certificate and saved it and then thought if I went into my profile and added my full name and regenerated the certificate again it might show my full name instead of handle. I figured the one with my handle on it would be useful for social media but the one with my full name on it would be good for linkedin. But when I did that, it doesn't put my full name on it. Is that a thing that's possible or should I just photoshop my full name over the username, or...?
It seems like that information is usually provided in the room instructions. It varies from room to room.
The way I've been getting them is by going to your profile, then clicking on the button to go to your public profile, and then clicking on the button that says "Share Room Badges". That should give you a dropdown list with all of the badges you've earned.
How do i check every room i've ever started/enrolled in? I know you can see the most recent ones on the dashboard, but how do i see all of them?
it is refusing to let me ssh into tryhack me
it says connection refused when i try and ssh in
What do you mean by ssh into tryhackme? Are you connected to the network with your opvn key?
no sorry starting the attack bot on the linuxfundamentals part 3
So what are you trying to SSH into exactly?
it tells you to ssh into the tryhackme terminal with the attack and the ip address the terminal has is refusing connection
Okay, let me go in a give it a try
Im literally on that one right now n had the same error restarted my vpn connection and it worked
urmmm; incorrect using wget is part of that task - it clearly states it (task 4 as you state) - but you can;t cos I get the error above. But appreciate the not at all helpful reply.
If you read the task properly you would see that if you are running wget against assets.tryhackme.com you are running it against the wrong url. It's clearly stated.
hey can someone help me out with kerbrute? need help installing an older version.
Don't be so rude to people volunteering help in the discord please, not polite.
Ah, they left. Nice.
Ah well, not for them I guess
rude indeed
this might be dumb but how do i view my tun0 ip
ifconfig
apparently my account got deleted, which i didnt do
err help ?
If this is the case then I think you have to make a new account
Just ask your question and not ask to ask
No question is dumb, please remember that :)
alright actually i need help, idk of my acc is going to be hacked or not but the person who's hacking me is giving things like "i already hacked your acc"
but the first thing is i do not have any idea how the heck do i get targeted for that
Which acc you're talking about?
google acc
Well first of all, this channel for site and vpn issues. I would recommend to ask your question in #general and their are many people who can suggest you something great that even I can't :)
Why do rooms become so slow when I SSH into them?
ifconfig is deprecated. "ip a s tun0" is another way
They won't become slow when you SSH into the VMs. They were probably slow before but you couldn't notice as you didn't have access.
I am not able to connect to the challenge server via my vm after connection to vpn, but able to ping it.
I'm doing the burpsuite room and it requires me to download files for task 9. I'm using the attackbot, so how would I go about downloading them onto it? Is there a way without having to go login to THM and finding the room to download it from?
How are you verifying? Not all machines run a webserver.
I tried this in browser based kali linux and it's working there
then I from my laptop
any idea where should I start looking?
I tried to go to the burpsuite room on my attackbox, and it tried to show me the attackbox inside the attackbox and then the main attackbox started glitching and changing resolution repeatedly and I couldn't download the file lol
@polar elk If i remember correctly (Sorry don't use it) i believe you can't copy paste/drag drop into attackbox so i think you would have to login. Could be wrong though. Have seen the glitching before but no idea how to stop that.
As it's just text, you can copy paste that reasonably easily
Yeah thatβs what I ended up doing, but itβs just a bit messy
Yep. There's no good way to get task files onto the attackbox.
Maybe use a WeTransfer?
So does anyone have any idea how to decrypt a .dat folder without me having the encryption key
403 Forbidden - why i don't have access right?

Hello guys
I have an issue on my kali in Firefox browser Iβm unable to view hint of the question in rooms, not sure if itβs browser problem or what! Could you please help me?

hello somewone having connexion trouble with the Common Linux Privesc room ?
Please describe the problem
my ssh frezze 4th time in a raw after make the wget to export the LinEnum file
after reboot my openvpn that work again but it frezze again
Check the pins here. Try the MTU fix.
i have reboot my vm and it seem to work agains sorry for the convenient
Is there any way to copy files into the AttackBox
I'm completing Upload Vuln's Challenge and looking to download the files into the attackbox itself
@vocal ledge I believe the only (easy) way is to login to THM from the box and download.
okay thanks. That was my last option. lol
np
There's some serious inception level stuff going on when I login with the attack box started.lol
No idea how to fix that i'm afraid.
all good. Thanks again.
Best of luck!
port 22 is the ssh port of the machine. This is only on my VM, if i use the attackbox it works without a problem. anyone knows how can i solve this?
this is the what the shell room, the linux machine
@tame solar does it have a delay before closing the connection?
@tame solar if so check out the MTU fix in the pins.
yes, thank you
Gave +1 Rep to @soft totem
i will check the fix
i cant find it in the pins, is it in this chat pins or another one?
#site-support message should jump to it
Either the above or "sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200" @tame solar
There is another option but this one worked for me^
you might have to restart your vm too
That's the one you should be using. Ifconfig is deprecated.
Nothing happened to your VM. It was an issue with the VPN connection, which the T hosted attackbox or kali don't use.
any solution with connecting to tryhackme vpn
Thanks for the answer, actually, the problem is that this specific badge isn't unlockable yet π
Gave +1 Rep to @toxic merlin
Try deleting this ovpn pack and re-download it and re-try it. If this doesn't work then try changing the server and regenerate the pack and then try again
When can we have the availability to change our usernames ?
Do you have updated version soon ?
@rigid oxide
Hello, I'm trying to renew my subscription but on my profile it says im still subscribed yet my sub ended on 26th. Can I get some assistance?
If I'm not mistaken you have the possibility to change your username by sending an email to support@tryhackme.com, check the following message #site-support message
I don't think it's a good idea to directly ping an admin. You can also ask this question in #general and see if mods there help you (:

Hellow, can someone help to answer the question of why GoBuster is not working in my Browser-Kali machine? I followed the instraction and typed sudo apt-get install gobuster. and after its finished download, I typed gobuster to run it, but nothing happens.
!docs verify
Please follow these steps, then show us with a screenshot
@eager fulcrum ok
oh you want me to take a screenshot of my question?
I'd like to you take a screenshot of what you're seeing and what happens
But you will need to verify first
ok, umm I guess I just need to follow the link to verify?
Yes, follow the instructions in the link
Ok, I finished verify with the BOT, here is what it replied to me.
Your level has been updated!
You are now a subscriber, thanks!
You are now verified, you cannot unlink or relink any of your accounts for security reasons. Please contact the TryHackMe Admins or Mods if you need to change one of your accounts.
Yeah. Now please show screenshots of your problem
Help me please
It says you got your card number wrong
ok 1 sec, im reloading my machine
So your card number is probably wrong @haughty hornet
But everything is current and today have purchased a course with it then how

I am not your bank
I am also not a payment processor.
Ohk
My questions is: Why I can't run the program(GoBuster) after I installed it?
It's always worth reading the output of the command
Seem to be having some issues with my smbclient. I can get onto the target system, but when I try to use the 'get' command, it brings back "Error opening local file" for every file I try to get
Anyone got any advice on this?
Probably permissions. Go to a directory you can write to.
Also this channel is for site and VPN related tech support
Ah my bad, I'll take i'll to the room help
Try the solution I provided first though, please
i have problem about connection refused in room machine, i connected a openvpn and access to room but i open a ip in webbrowser give me that error, you have any solution ?
This site canβt be reached1 0.10.129.82 refused to connect.
anyone have soultion ?
Follow those steps, and you'll be able to send screenshots
Also what room machine?
Web Fundamentals
Ok. See the instructions in the room. The web server is not on port 80 so you need to specify the port.
ohh wait i do it
Sorted, cheers for the help Ninja
Just see, i will check my connection to machine so i open a config openvpn file you see it say connected but give me that error, and i add a :8080 and :443 etcc but nothing change
@eager fulcrum
It gives you the port
And the port number is not 443 or 8080
It is very very important to read the information in the room text.
You should read the content thoroughly before asking for help.
i read it again now, because i read it before but my english is not good so i have a problem, thanks man for give me this advice
Gave +1 Rep to @eager fulcrum
It's not overly dependent on a high level of English, pretty sure it's even a link...
thanks man i solve it and thanks for this advice, i dont read a good a room text
thanks again β€οΈ
is it possible to run the openvpn within another vpn?
I am working on a room and I had to restart the ssh client 5 times, it is unresponsive. > terminated machine > ssh on new machine > unresponsive
tryhackme machines are super slow, super laggy. 
not all of them, today I'v encountered 2.
it is being a pain 7th time it crashes due to how slow the machine is, I'll try tomorrow.
Hi, not really related to THM , but wasn't sure where can i ask this. I downloaded bare metall installer for kali on vmware and in this machine i am not able to use same shortcuts which i'd when i setup ready machine from kali site and there we had ready shortcuts for termnal like spliting it and so on...how can i get them on my bare metal kali ?
or is it just tmux which i have to run in order to get it ?
You can ask in #infosec-general, remember that this channel is for technical questions related to the THM site or its VPN.
Ok, thanks π
Hi i am currently doing Network Services 2 task 4 were i need to download a bash file from github and then execute it on the NFS machine. how ever when i try to execute it on the machine i get a "./bash: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token newline'
./bash: line 7: <!DOCTYPE html>'"
this is the command i use to download it "wget https://github.com/TheRealPoloMints/Blog/blob/master/Security Challenge Walkthroughs/Networks 2/bash "
Hi there, I need some help. Update and upgrade doesn't help
why don't you just do apt-get install bloodhound
@sturdy charm it's pre installed on the attackbox
doesn't work
It's already installed on the attackbox. You do not need to install it.
keep getting this one
in the investigating windows 3.x room
it worked yesterday but today I cannot open the logfiles
I have problem with connection via OpenVPN. It showes that i am connected but machine seems down.
its windows machine, it wont respond to pings.
Hi there,
In the web machine, when intercept is on its proxy, the browser does not load any page. (Several page).
When intercept is off, the page start loading.
I followed this guide but still did not fix.
https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/troubleshooting
Any solution for this?
Does the page keep on loading and not show anything?
when intercepting it will not load the page as a whole ig, or arnt you not getting any results in your burp suite http history tab?
That's intended behaviour. You need to forward requests if intercept is on.
@restive reef Yes when intercept if on, there is nothing showing in history tab.
One turn intercept off, it shows intercept histories at one time. It seems it keeps history in BurpSuite until Intercept tuned off.
Oh... I see
Linux Fundamentals Part 3 has an issue, I can connect to the box using SSH but after few second I can not run any commands and the box isn't reachable at that time
Sure, Thank you
I can't find any machine running with that IP address @ember aurora
Can you refresh the page and look for the card at the top of the room that has the active machine information please? (:
It looks like this:
Make sure you have setup your VPN connection correctly https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn
Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
If there's more than one line (that don't start with "grep" or sudo), do the following steps
Type sudo killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter
Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>

Think I might be encountering an issue in task 5 of the How websites work box. It asks for you to inject http://hacker.com/ into the site via HTML injection. However, when I inject <a href="http://hacker.com">http://hacker.com</a> into the user input it says my answer is incorrect
That's a #room-help question really
Yeah I put it there but I had not received a response yet.
Please do not ask the same question over multiple channels.
I can't login to my account. I've reset my password twice and am still getting locked out. What should I do?
is there a bug on thm related to terminating machines? i terminated an old machine and started a new machine but it gave me error saying that a machine is active. i refresh the room and i see the old room still running
@quartz thicket i dont know about the task but the query you said belongs in a html body rather than a URL because when you use <a href>"something"</a>. the content between a tags create a hyperlink with "something" as a word being reflected on the page. when you click it, then you get redirected. SO in short, if you want to redirect then find a way to inject the code into the body and not URL. thats my opinion though
Can happen sometimes, just refresh and terminate. Should be fine
What account? THM?
@supple gorge i did that several times
yes
i am currently solving the crash course on pen testing room
even when i refresh and terminate, i still cannot start another machine
That is very weird I have never faced that
Maybe try closing all browser, empty cache for THM, log out and back in
try in incognito
these are things that could help
ok i will try that
hey i need help with my account
my rank and sub role is not working
and i wanted to know how can i change my username in THM
Give it 24 hours to synchronise.
See the pins for a template to email support.
can u send me a link
No, I fully believe you can take a read through the pins and find it very quickly.
sure ty
ohk
but my rank in my account is ox2 its been a month i had the rank
it still hasn't been updated
that is unusual, the rest of us are able to put our discord token as many times as we want to force the level up
Did you have a different account before that you verified on the discord with?
sad
no same account
but the token is diferent
from the first one
Then you're probably linked to that account?
What's the username of both accounts?
its the same acc
no same account but the token is diferent What
i have only one acc
They'll be different accounts if the token is different.
Any idea on the reverse shell problem with windows and virtualbox?
my first token starts with 2 and the other starts with 3
@tough wharf Try #infosec-general
This channel is for directly THM related tech support like site or VPN issues
@eager fulcrum
idk why
its the same acc
The one starting with 2 is the one that's attached to your account
th problem is that the vpn does not work for connections that are initiated on the thm side. So I rated it as directly THM related and VPN issue
If it's a different token, it's a different account
Run the VPN directly in your Kali VM.
do u want me to share it to u
?
ok
No, I can look up the token attached to your account and it's the one starting with 2
Your token won't have changed unless you got a new account
but in my it shows 3
I can remove the old token so you can verify with the one from your new account.
can u tell me the username
of my acount
so i know its mine
See, different account.
how can i link this acc
You verified on an older account and then made that new one. We can fix that.
!tokenremove 682803434625302548
Done, no more entry with UID "682803434625302548".
Now you should be able to verify with the new token
lemmi try
for fuck sake it worked
i am dumb
thank you for your help tho
@eager fulcrum
This is why it's important to listen to those offering help, please
Yeah the submission field displays the user input on the page eg Hello "user input". So putting my hyperlink tag in the user input box displays the hyperlink directly on the page. Which seems to be what the task is asking for. The hint just say google how to create a link in HTML.
@quartz thicket did u restart your rank?
Not that I am aware of.
Well I am pretty amazing π
You're all amazing!

Hello everyone! There is a new badge "Networking Nerd", to who complete de Network Fundamentals module, I have done this module, but haven't the badge...
I can verify that I have also completed the Networking Fundamentals module, yet also lack the badge (This may be an issue for those who completed the module before the badge was added)
I was wondering if I could get a check on the room scripting. I have a script that seems to "work" but I haven't had any luck.
The badge is for the Network Fundamentals module and I've completed the Networking Fundamentals module - So it's possible that they're unrelated
Thank you. I'll look in there.
Gave +1 Rep to @tacit forge
Although there doesn't seem to be a Network Fundamentals module - So that may just be a typo

i've a problem with my own distro debian-based linux
i need to set a custom resolution
how can i do that?
So reverse shells won't work if the mode is set to NAT via vmware settings right?
Hello, can I get help please.
I'm doing the nmap room from the beginner path, and when trying to ping the deployed machine it's not up, also when trying to run ftp script the results specify that the host is not up and tell me to use -Pn switch, after using it, I don't get any information on if i can connect through ftp on port 21, mind you that I used -vv switch.
I think the problem is that the machine isn't really up, so can someone help me with that please?
the command I'd run was "sudo nmap -Pn -p21 -vv --script=ftp-anon (machine ip)
Also
I'm not using a attack box to preform the scan
When using the attack box, I get the results I'm supposed to get, like knowing that nmap can connect through ftp, but still pinging the machine yelled no results
I also waited for the machine to run for 30 minutes but that changed nothing
if you are not using the attackbox, make sure you are connected to the VPN
it'll probably help to verify with the bot (read the link below) and post a screenshot of what you're doing and the error you encounter

I understand now why it wouldn't work, thank you.
I wanted to post a screenshot but I have turned off my pc now
Is this user error or what Bc thatβs the path to the file and Iβve downloaded the ovpn
ping me if you have any answers please
Have yah tried googling the error code?
@limber elm I found a bunch of forum posts with the same error code that have fixes
well theres no error code but i have looked it up and found nothing helpful this was a last resort lol
It's describing the error to you, that's basically the error code and the thing you need to google. Just copy and paste that line from your terminal. Copy in terminal is ctrl+shift+c, and paste is ctrl+shift+v.
ohhh ok sweet thank you

Hello, im having various issues with different tasks. Im using wsl2 with kali, running vpn on the host or directly in kali, doesnt change my issues. I've tried the same commands with the browser-based kali you offer, and their they work perfectly. For example the mounting command from networkservices2 fails: "No Permissions" also networkservices1 ftp commands dont work. I couldnt find any information on the forum, regarding wsl2. Do you have any advice for setting up wsl2 kali?

How-To Guide to Emailing TryHackMe Support!
While emailing support, it is important to keep a few things in mind for a faster, more efficient support experience.
Before we get to the templates, here are a few things you should know!
β’ Email from the email on your TryHackMe account!
In order to ensure the correct owner of your account, and to save me time, email me from the email on your account.
This does not apply if you cannot remember your email or are having trouble accessing your account.
β’ Be concise about your issue, but not too vague!
Remember, I am human, I cannot guess your issue from a few words, but you also do not need to write loads!
A simple explanation (with screenshots if they help visualise your issue).
An example of a good email would be:
Hey Support!
I am looking for a streak reset.
My streak was 50 before it ended (I think).
I am looking forward to reading your response!
A bad example of an email would be:
Reset streak pls
β’ Be respectful!
No matter who you are talking to, please remember to be nice!
Being rude will not help you get your issue resolved, and in some cases may end up in your issue never being sorted out!
Please just make sure you are being respectful to the support employee, whether it is me or not.
I understand you can get upset, and I will do my very best to help you :)
β’ Do not spam the inbox, send 1 email every 24 hours!
Sending multiple emails, especially from different email accounts, can get really confusing.
Especially when I have to type out the same thing multiple times, or end up helping you on multiple different email chains.
Send one, if I do not respond within 24 hours, send another! If I do not respond after that, ping me on Discord and I will happily assist you :)
β’ Try troubleshooting through our docs!
There is a chance I have uploaded/ there is already a helpful document written on https://help.tryhackme.com/
If you have read it and it did not help, specify which pages you have read in the email you are sending support so they can help you more efficiently.
And finally, just remember we are people trying to help you.
I will try my best to help you solve your issue, and I will even go that extra mile, but only if you respect me!
Thank you for reading, and happy hacking :)
Can someone help me understand how to install packages from github?
git clone https://github.com/CiscoXSecurity/enum4linux.git was successful but what should I do next?
the read me file for enum4linux doesn't offer anything on how to install this
I'm very new to linux so im confused
i got all the files as you can see
@livid vapor can you help me please?
Probably not a question for tech support, but just run enum4linux with the perl command
Yeah, I don't know in which channel I had to post it sorry.
thank you for replying, now after perl enum4linux i just get a how to use guide for options and such
Gave +1 Rep to @feral dock
Down there it says that i will need a samba package
And I read that i have to compile the program myself
So i don't know I'm real confused, if you can help me further i will be grateful
is this for a room?
probably better to ask in #room-help then, or possibly #infosec-general
They ask me to install enum4linux
if you're using kali, I think it might already be installed.
ah. Then yeah, that'd be better for #infosec-general
I can try, but I might not be able to
I've done a few rooms now and every time I've had to navigate to an IP address with the machine's firefox browser the load times have been unbearably slow. I never have this problem outside of the deployed machines. Is there a way to speed this process up and is this issue resolved for subscribed members? Right now it's a huge deterrant from me wanting to subscribe but I'm sure there's a (probably obvious) solution.
have you checked your mtu, there is a pin for it
Hello everyone
I'm doing the "gateway" room
At some point we have to crash a network application
So normally I would make a python script and fuzz it to find the breaking point (EIP)

I've been stuck here for daaaays
I need some help plz
Think ive found a little bit of a security issue not sure if it would be anything the site would be interested in but wanted to double check. When using the openvpn it is said to be used on the site to protect your IP address but it only works within the site. Ive found that using another VPN at the same time as the openvpn stops some of the content from working (i dont know if this is intentional or might be something to do with both vpns using class A private addresses). However because of this it means i have turn off my main vpn to use the machine. The possible security issue comes with the fact that newbies like me need help with different content and so i use the write-ups however these are all on different websites so I am guessing that when im use the write ups the openvpn will no long be hiding my IP address. An easy fix for this would be to have the write-ups base on the THM website. If there is a way I can fix this i would appreciate any advice.
is there a way to contact a thm employee directly for technical support, by email for example, rather than just using discord?
Shoot us an email (:
This is correct. The OpenVPN on TryHackMe only connects you to our network, your normal traffic isn't routed through it like a normal VPN is (:
It means you can attack the machines that you deploy in rooms, but yes - anything that you access outside of that will go through as your normal internet traffic and will be identifiable to you i.e. your public IP (:
The OpenVPN gets very weird if you're using another VPN connection at the same time, so we reccomend to have one instance of the OpenVPN connection (and that connection only) at time π
Thanks for the reply, yea awesome that whats I suspected.

Okay
my machine ip is not working for some reason and stuck on loading. I'm in https://tryhackme.com/room/owasptop10 (I have connected to openvpn with the config file from tryhackme access page)
Hi there. Is there a way I can reset all my progress? Have been away for a while due to work commitments and want to start afresh
You can delete your THM account and make a new one using same email.
Also, if you want to verify again with your new account, first, your current discord token have to be removed. And this job can be done by mods. Then after you can re-verify with your new discord token again.
Why i can't use my badge in GitHub Repo README

Hi everyone, I have two accounts on tryhackme, one personal and one "professional", both subscribed, I saw that the https://tryhackme.com/hacktivities page didn't return the same page on both account :
On my personal I got the search tab, while on the professional I got the series tab (which I find arguably better). Is that normal ?
A aws meta tag to set file to download then its is application/octet-stream Can anyone set that badge to image/png
It seems my issue is related to this blogpost from last year https://blog.tryhackme.com/releasing-series/
Is it because I have a "special" account that I can see series ? Or is it an old feature that was removed and somehow I still have access to it ?

Gave +1 Rep to @trim moat
hi I'm having issues connecting to OpenVPN and also turning off my active boxes
I just started and was hoping someone could help me out
@trim moat is there a way to reset my sessions so I can continue doing the exercises?
for your openvpn, you can try regenerating the config file or change servers depending on your location. Not sure on the terminating open boxes, you should just need to go to a recent room and terminate them or they should timeout. If you verify you can share a screenshot of the vpn errors as well.
!docs verify
I actually need help
with a room or THM technical
please help me find token for !Verify
How are we supposed to get files for tasks when using an attack box? Logging in and going to the room page leads to the attack box endlessly resizing itself.
Go to your Profile and then you'll see Other tab (with Gear icon), click on that and there you have your discord token. (:
Is anyone else unable to terminate machines or view hints?
Its annoying when I want to terminate a machine that isnt working properly
hello, is it normal that the "need to know" part of the Network Fundamentals module redirects to the Linux Fundamentals module when it is supposed to redirect to the How The Web Work module ?
Hi guys I'm having a hard time using SSH in the free plan of this website, often the ssh just stops working and I'm forced to close the command line, is it just me?
I will try to use the default web browser command line for now
You can increase the time of your deployed instance by clicking "Add 1 Hour" button which is available next to terminate machine. Hope this helps (:
I have enough time for it :c
I think it's just slow but sometime It literally stops working
What do you mean "just slow"?
It takes more then usual to print man output, but overall it's ok
but sometime really stops on working, like now it printed me half man and stopped
Ctrl C/Z doesnt work and really I can just quit the command line and reopen with ssh
The browser VM is pretty good though, just a matter of waiting that minute more to open it, I will use that
When you ssh into some machine, yes, they are slow. But you can connect to either way.
Yeah I'm fine with that but sometime I just lose connection to it I believe since it stops receiving input
I'm not sure if this method will work but try changing your vpn server. And, check if the problem still persists as there is no harm in exploring things (:
Thanks I will try that in my next tryhackme session π
Is there a way to know if the room I am working on is only for Premium?
I am not sure yet to renew for next month. And I want it to be complete before it expires
You can select filter for free only room in room search thing
in the intro to networking room under the traceroute network tool it wants to me to find the traceroute for tryhackme, but every time I try to run the syntax it just keeps saying traceroute isnt installed on the machine, so I go to try to install it and I get an error?
nono u don't need to install traceroute. Try again and try another method. I can't tell you exact answer. Because if i did then there is no point of that

Sounds like you have multiple vpn's running
!multivpn
Make sure you have setup your VPN connection correctly https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn
Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
If there's more than one line (that don't start with "grep" or sudo), do the following steps
Type sudo killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter
Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>
ip -a

hi team
Hii
any idea how do u change the tor browser settings so that its not launched as a root
I don't think it requires to launch as root
The roon is designed specifically for specific purpose. That will be easily fulfilled. Try thinking another way.
There is a free room called privileged escalation.. try that room ok
so i am working on a room called sakura...I am trying to launch the tor browser from thm kali desktop and it fails to launch
so i modified the start-tor-browser file where I changed the settings from 0 to 1 so that it is not launched as a root but still it fails to launch
any help would b appreciated
finally got it

hey my openvpn doesn't work it says everything is fine and its connected even on the site but i can't open vm in the learning room
@river mirage https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmie_prereqs.html here's the AWS pre-reqs doc.
Requirements for importing a VM into Amazon EC2.
@wraith vale You can't deploy the box or you can't connect to it?
hmm , it says either i can use attackbox or openvpn , i choosed openvpn and did all the steps but still can't use the vm provided in the room
@wraith vale So if you deploy the box and want to use your own machine, you'll then need to run your openvpn file on your machine (sudo openvpn LOCATION/FILENAME). Depending on the room you are completing you will then either need to scan the ip using tools like nmap or if there's a web app you can connect using your browser. (sometimes web apps aren't on the original port so you'll need to scan for it)
If you provide the room you're completing i can provide further specific information.
maybe i am very new at this stuff, i use windows and downloaded on windows, everything is connected it works but i can't start the vm on this room : https://tryhackme.com/room/linuxfundamentalspart2 and after that i tried to download and use it on my own VM but i couldn't manage to do it ; after i download file is no-where to be found
@river mirage Ah ok, sorry best i had π gl.
@wraith vale If you connect your vpn and head to this page (https://tryhackme.com/access) is everything green?
yeah green and i have my ip adress and stuff
Ah ok. Probably best to view here - https://docs.tryhackme.com/docs/openvpn/troubleshooting/openvpn-troubleshooting/ and if still stuck you can contact help@tryhackme.com
Using the THM troubleshooting Script:
Sounds like you're connected though, you just need to ssh into the box.
If your ssh isn't loading/times out after so long i'd recommend the MTU fix in the pins.
could it be because i finished my 1 hour on the machine for today ?
you're using the attackbox then?
if you aren't subbed i believe you only get one free hour a day.
if i use the VM on room it says nothing
recommendation would be to download something like vmware/virtualbox and setup a linux distro vm.
sends me to instructions or attack box
do you think i can follow and finish rooms with my own VM i have already?
you can do everything from your own VM. You just need to download your openvpn file and run it.
on the VM or host
everything from the VM
alright thanks a lot ^^

Why is windows vm are soo slow that they barely works
ubuntu desktop versions that aren't 16.4 won't work, they need to be the server version, and also have a compatible kernel version
Hi all. I am having trouble copy/pasting from windows box in the browser to my computer and vice-versa. I've read the "machine information" but that doesn't help/work. Do you guys could help ?
do someone know why when I type the ssh command to connect to the machine it stops like it's loading before asking me to login but nothing happens
Now the website tells me the IP I'm connected with, but I didnt even type the password since I couldnt see any output from ssh
It's only me having problem with the ssh everytime sorry lol
Oh no that tells me I'm connected to the VPN, but either way ssh just stops like it's loading, might be a temporary bug idk
Make sure you have setup your VPN connection correctly https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn
Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
If there's more than one line (that don't start with "grep" or sudo), do the following steps
Type sudo killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter
Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>
not this time haha, but yeah 2 days ago it fixed my random timout
I have even restarted my machine so I'm sure I dont have any other ssh running or anything
what command do you use to connect to sshd ? You don't put a & at the end ?
"ssh tryhackme@10.10.244.xxx"
and I have to wait, but I think something is wrong with the network, I dont think its actually loading anything
maybe try to change the region ? https://tryhackme.com/access
Nothing, I hope it's a temporary problem
Ask a mod to add you to the room creator's channel, you can probably get better help there
Can anyone help me with commonlinuxprivesec task 4?
I know the answer it wont accept it.
Can someone help me with an issue that keeps happening over and over? I extend my time by an hour on my attack box and the target. But time ends as if I didn't do this even though it shows that the time is 1 hr + remaining on the timer. It is really frustrating when you are down to a few moments to complete room/module. Am I doing something wrong? I work around it by terminating boxes when I finish a topic and sign off. Then I sign back on so I will get full time again on my attack box. But sometimes it takes me longer in an area so not a great work around.
So my kali decided to stop working, gettin stuck at resolving journal, tried grub start up, now about to try with live cd, any ideas, really just after my hackme folder, the partition is mounted, tried un mounting from another image but didnβt work, 
Use openvpn that will reduce your headache in half, the target box will get a bit out of wack on the timer , just refresh the page and that should give you actual time left on the box
Thank you so much!!!!
Gave +1 Rep to @plush temple
I might be wrong, but I think you can only extend the attackbox if you are a subscriber. There are also limits to how many times you can extend things
Thanks! I am a subscriber. Are there limits to how many times if I am a subscriber?

I think so, yes. But I'm not sure offhand.
I think for target machines it's a max of 6hrs. Not sure about the attackbox though
I have a paid subscription for well over a year now, however I sent a couple of emails in the past where I never got a response for, what is the best way to contact support/admin when encountering any technical issues with the site in general, I almost lost my streak due to a silly site issue where rooms wouldn't load at all and just circulate through without output... I have just received my 90 day streak badge yesterday and this is becoming a concern if we don't get a response to our emails, can I please have a response.

The attackbox lasts for two hours for you so be sure to check the expiry timer every now and then and extend it accordingly
no worries π hope that's all sorted for you!
this also fixed my issue of the telnet i was connected to that would connect and then freeze and i couldent execute any commands

how do i stop the process on port 8080
first, you have to find which process is using that port (forgot the command offhand- some googling should turn it up quickly), then just do a:
sudo kill <PID>
where <PID> is the process id
yea i found that by google but idk whats running on port 8080 so im trying to find a command that shows me whats running on what port kinda like htop or bashtop put only on the specific port
i killed the python3 process's as the script i ran was using python3 but still getting the same error
soo i killed python2 to see if the script was using an external script but i just killed the machine
there's definitely a command to show what ports are in use and what is using them, but I'd have to look it up, can't right now
google harder π
Is there any way subscribed members can get a dedicated attack box for themselves that doesnβt expire?

I don't think spreading the word means that you'll send this link in all channels
just FYI, something curious happened while I was at the Network Services room, my hacking streak was 13, and suddenly I answered the first question of task 4, and my streak was set back to 1, I refreshed the browser, and I had my 13 hacking streak back (which is the correct one), just odd that this happened
Hello, I have just subscribed and joined this world of tryhackme.com, incredible!
However, I have set up my OpenVPN successfully with both EU-VIP-1 and EU-regular-2 and successfully connected to both the http://10.10.10.10/ and the task 6 check you are connected https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn .
But when i try to enter the Network and Services Task 3 Enumerating SMB - machine (title polosmb3) i get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in chrome. Any idea what could be the problem? I seem to be connected to tryhackme.com but this machine wont work...
Thanks guys!

Hello Guys I am not able to open vulnversity room can anybody help me its not loading
Hi, I hope you are doing well. I am having a weird issue with the vpn(I think). I am doing this room https://tryhackme.com/room/vulnversity, when I start the test machine I can ping it from my computer and from the attack box so it is reachable. And I can discover it using nmap from my computer and the attack box but there is a service running on port 3128 which I can't figure it's version using nmap from my computer but I can from the attackbox. Also there is a http service(serving a website) running on port 3333 which I couldn't access it from my computer but I can access it from the attack box. Also I tried to change my vpn server a couple of times but with no luck. So if anybody ever encountered this issue or have any idea how to solve this(I would like to do every thing from my computer), help me solve this issue please?
edit when I do curl --interface tun0 http://<machine_ip>:3333
I got this curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
Atleast you are able to open the room i am not able to open the room

How can i get the student discount? I entered my student mail but it doesn't works.
Pre security path redirects to cyber Defence pathπ΅
I imagine you need to leave the current path to enter the new one.
Now it's fixed

Hey, i am having this issue where i can not download the vpn file for wreath network i have 8 day streak on platform

people I am having a problem with my modem to connect to the vpn, have anyone an idea how to fix it
Hello, how am I supposed to use my One day strike freeze?
You have to verify yourself
Can you share a screenshot of the log that you are getting on your terminal?
@woeful nebula thank you for replying here is a link to my terminal screenshot https://ibb.co/s1Jngpf

I won't have the capabilities to host a blog till August and I don't wanna spend money to host it elsewhere. Is it fine if I link to a Google doc for the presecurity write up?
It needs to be a publicly accessible blog. There's a lot of free platforms out there (:
GitBook and Github pages are a nice place to post your blog in
Okay thanks, git docs will definitely work. Just need something temporary for now lol
Is there anything running in the target pc which is using port 3333?
!docs verify
Sank yew
@woeful nebula yes in fact I can access the website if I use 4G connection or access it from the attack box
Hi, about the streak freeze, is it valid for 1 day after being redeemed or whenever you take a 1 day break?
Umm but the port scan in your screenshot shows that only the port 3128 is open?
@woeful nebula nah I specified the port in the screenshot, I wanted to emphasize how nmap is not able to find the version of the server running on 3128
Pinging the pc gives a reply... The vpn is connected successfully .. Try using curl without the --interface flag maybe?
@woeful nebula I already tried that and it return the same thing
@woeful nebula here is the response of a proper nmap scan ```
Starting Nmap 7.70 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2021-07-05 19:05 CET
Nmap scan report for 10.10.181.28
Host is up (0.10s latency).
Not shown: 994 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp open ftp
22/tcp open ssh
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds
3128/tcp open squid-http
3333/tcp open dec-notes
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 9.68 seconds
Owh...Does accessing 3333 from your browser fails aswel?
@woeful nebula yes it does
If you can perform a port scan, the vpn connection seems fine. Nmap got a response from that port the very reason it is flagging it as open. Might be some issue with something else
@woeful nebula I suspect the problem is with my modem configuration
Did you apply any firewall rules in the modem?
Apart from this, I don't think anything else in your modem can cause any trouble with inbound or outbound traffic to a specific port
@woeful nebula do you think that the modem config can somehow prevent the vpn from functioning correctly?
I too have the same question π
No, I don't think so
try reconnecting the vpn
If nmap if detecting the port as open, then the connection is successfully established.
It may be a temporary issue with the target machine
What room are you facing this issue in?
@woeful nebula this room https://tryhackme.com/room/vulnversity , the issue has persisted from yesterday
@woeful nebula what bugs me is that It work smoothly when I connect using my phone hotspot endpoint
Yes, I too can connect to the port without any issue
can you send a screenshot of the output of Ifconfig?
you mean ip addr?
Yup if ifconfig is not working

@woeful nebula
try refreshing and downloading a new ovpn file
I already refresh it a couple of time with different regions
@woeful nebula thank you anyway, I gotta go, I am gonna resume debugging the modem tomorrow
Gave +1 Rep to @woeful nebula
Hoping the best.
Try removing any access control lists and make sure all other modem based ddns and vpn services are turned off. Also make sure UPnP(Plug n Play) is turned on.
is it the right place to ask for support regarding premium membership payment?
my bank denies the payment 
Hiii, you'll need to email support@tryhackme.com with your THM username and the type of payment method (I.e. paypal or debit/credit card)
Nothing re. billing will be dealt with here π
Though it's worth checking with your bank that they aren't blocking the payment in the meantime @shrewd shoal
Is there an issue with the room "Putting it all together" I can't seem to do the quiz in task 4, I can't drag the options.
