Oh sorry just noticed working off attackbox

[tawdry bridge]

İ was not able to connect Firefox on attackbox why?

İ did ping scan however it was working

İf i type the target's ip on Firefox it says problem loading page

[vale musk]

Any way to fix not having to open all the site frames in a room separately to get things like alert() boxes working?

[viscid frost]

yeah, not available

[viscid frost]

not all target machines have web servers

[viscid frost]

Can you please elaborate on that

[tawdry bridge]

Yeah but i did by other boxes same issue

Which i had completed with web server

[viscid frost]

You are using attack box , right?

[tawdry bridge]

Yes also i tried on my own machine

But still not working

[viscid frost]

wait wait

even on own machine

it usually takes 3/4/5 minutes for them to start working

so did you wait for that amount of time

[crystal marlin]

Is it opening other website normally with firefox on the attackbox?

[soft totem]

Not sure if you managed to fix but don’t forget if you are no longer subscribed you’ll need to download a new ovpn file for a non subscriber server.

[tawdry bridge]

No it is not availabe that server

İt is being said

[devout vale]

Is there any maintenance going on? Cuz I cant access the holo network

[crystal marlin]

k, I thought it's just not working for the task targets you said

[tawdry bridge]

But i did by the other i was also not working however it did open week ago

[cedar raptor]

Hello!
Why my lucky badge went away?

[dark root]

I have a problem with DNS in Detail room. It looks like it's not sending dns request properly. is it a bug? "server can't find shop.website.thm" error?

NVM It was a typo

Task 5

[tawdry bridge]

it will be automatically redirected to https

[cloud dirge]

Can you manually add the http:// at the start?

[tawdry bridge]

Yeah but not working

:(

[viscid frost]

oh I see

[viscid frost]

which one is turned on in your firefox settings?

[crystal marlin]

I think this is meant to be like this and it is not a bug. Have you done a nmap scan on the machine? As when I add one of the open ports I found on the machine, the apache tomcat page is coming up just fine. With entering only the IP it's not working.

[summer flax]

hey all, for some reason my streak reset. I can see that it shows all the days marked as attending events but now the streak gone back to 1..

[viscid frost]

oh that's disappointing

[summer flax]

I had one streak break but had the voucher ticket thing activated

but it is green throughout

[viscid frost]

but your streak is not broken

2 days streak

[summer flax]

yes it has to be 15 or 16

it is refreshed to 1 yesterday and now today 2

[viscid frost]

oh

[viscid frost]

did you properly activate it

[summer flax]

yeah you see the streak was activated on 20th

and it is green after

[viscid frost]

oh I see

maybe you activated it in the wrong time

after 12 am

?

[summer flax]

No like the streak break was activated on 20th and the streak was fine on 12 or something

and then fine till 23 or 24 then it showed streak is 13 yeah.. and after I referesh it is 1

thats alright they may get back to me, what is done is done 😦

[viscid frost]

ohh

ok let's see what they say

[summer flax]

actually looking at this I did not get many tickets for subscribing during doing that pre sec path challenge

just a few

hang on screenshot here

[viscid frost]

I completed some rooms, pretty useless tickets

[summer flax]

where do I see those tickets?

haha never know can get an oscp voucher lol

[viscid frost]

you go to profile then public profile

[viscid frost]

yeah

I am talking about the ones I got

[summer flax]

lol not really good winning lotteries lmao

[viscid frost]

haha

[tawdry bridge]

İ just use default settings in Firefox

On tryhackme's attack box

[cedar raptor]

Also, with the new update, the links to social media from public profile are broken

[viscid frost]

oh I don't usually use the attackbox, I use VM

[crystal marlin]

That your activity is green all over your public profile, does not mean your streak can not break. You have to answer 1 question per day for the streak to not break. But just starting a machine or your attackbox will be deemed as activity, which will add events to your activity profile, but does not make sure that your streak will keep up. You know what I mean? Hopfully I explained it understandable ^^

[crystal marlin]

Have you read my reply?

i've tried restarting the vm and my computer

[dire oracle]

Hey, I am having a wired problem with the Authenticate room.
I've tried spawning the machine and access it from my openvpn but seems like i cant access it via browser. Did a nmap, seems like port 80 is closed. I tried restarting my machine and reconnect openvpn, and spawn multiple machine but the problem remains.
Machine is up when i ping it
Any help?

Hello tech support, my badge here says 0x8 hacker, but in the platform im 0x9 omni, where do i change this? i cannot get to the THM verify bot

[crystal river]

I started my room on Authenticate but it keeps telling me unable to load page on every room I load

[crystal marlin]

Why can't you write to the bot? It's the TryHackMe bot, you just have to reverify yourself with the discord token at this bot (write him a DM with !verify and the discord token) and your lvl will be updated. Otherwise it should be done automatically after a little bit of time

[hallow hill]

@crystal marlin Sounds good, I just tried the !verify {token}. It did not work before and I got told that for further issues the bot wouldn't reply and I would have to contact support. It says it is up to date, but does not show the current platform rank. I will wait a couple days. Thank you for the quick response!

How do I bring up a statics lab in a new page? I am working on the HTTP in Detail Room and when I click on the lock, it does not provide me with the flag. Ive had this issue with the Network Fundamentals Room and they gave me a link to bring the pages up in a new tab and it worked.

[drowsy gorge]

I have a subscription to THM Premium which I purchased 27 June, for 1 month, and it is set to expire or renew itself in 3 days.

The card that I purchased the subscription on is now expired, and I need to update my payment card information, however, I also won a 6 month subscription from a giveaway on a Twitch Stream, which I now have a code that I want to redeem for my free 6 months of premium before my updated card, which I will add if I ever figure out how to do so, gets charged for continuing my subscription.

Please let me know where these account management functions exist on the site, and how to accomplish this. Thank you very much!

PS, I did send this body of text in an email to the support email, and I only posted here because I received an email back saying I might not get a reply for 5-10 business days, but my subscription expires in 3 and I really want to get it resolved. Thanks all!

[cloud dirge]

If it expires just subscribe again?

[drowsy gorge]

I guess I'll have to try that, I just figured there was some account management tool that would let me update my payment info? And so when it does expire will i get the chance to put my voucher code for my free 6 months in at that point?

[cloud dirge]

You should be able to. Couldn't see why not unless the voucher is invalid

[supple sonnet]

once your subscription expires, you'll be able to enter your 6 month vip code ^^^

[gritty token]

i am having trouble getting OWASP juice shop to load, even with proxy off

[viscid frost]

I don't think so

[viscid frost]

Are you connected to the VPN?

Or are you using the web based attackbox

[warm condor]

umm hi i got a question

How long does it take for account deletion on try hack me because after i deleted it I could still login and is there any way to stop the account deletion once you click delete account? Thanks!

[naive dust]

guys can i use my own VM instead of THM own VM

[cloud dirge]

Yes

[naive dust]

can you tell me how please

[cloud dirge]

I presume you have a vm already setup. All you need to do is download the openvpn config file, place it on the vm and connect to the THM network with openvpn via the config file

[ripe bane]

should I make anything else to be connected ?

[crystal marlin]

I just tried it right now and it's working just fine. Maybe try to restart the machine and try again.

[crystal marlin]

If you can open 10.10.10.10 in your browser after setting up openvpn, you should be good

[ripe bane]

do you know how can I make that window with kali bigger?

[crystal marlin]

Well the button on the right side on top of your VM looks like to be for full screen, try that one.

[ripe bane]

yeah, another solution?

[crystal marlin]

I'm not using VMware, so can't tell you, try to google it, pretty sure there will be many solutions coming up

[ripe bane]

oh okay

thanks

[naive dust]

is there any other option, openvpn blocked in my country

[ripe bane]

do you also know when I put my machine IP in browser

why I get this?

and the link of that image is for this

[crystal marlin]

Well that's not your machine IP, that's the task target machine IP and it most probably has something to do with the task you have to solve in this room. But if you need help for specific rooms I would advice you to ask the questions in the proper channel like #room-help or #room-hints

[ripe bane]

and how can I access that target machine IP?

[crystal marlin]

I mean you already accessed it by entering the IP in your browser, so I'm not quite sure what exactly you mean

[cloud dirge]

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not sure what would be available to you then other than using the attackbox. I would probably recommend sending the THM staff an email for alternatives, if available

[ripe bane]

me neither dont worry

[crystal marlin]

Alright 😄

[ripe bane]

why it says connection refused ?

[cloud dirge]

Try running that binary with sudo

I believe it may be because you're trying to run that binary in an area that requires root access, which I believe means you need to elevate the privilege of that binary. Let me know if using sudo does or doesn't work so I know if my information is close to correct

[ripe bane]

you mean to use k sudo wget?

[cloud dirge]

Yes

[ripe bane]

I put sudo wget and the URL

[cloud dirge]

Alright. Try typing
Cd
Sudo wget

That is correct. Sudo wget url

Have cd on its own yo change directory

[ripe bane]

so I should type cd and then enter, with no space or any dot after cd?

[cloud dirge]

Correct

Should move you to /root

[cloud dirge]

Seeing if maybe its because you're trying to save it to /home

You are connected to the VPN?

Type this command
ip a tun0

Confirm if you see anything and if so a number starting with 10.x.x.x

[cloud dirge]

Well that sucks lol

[ripe bane]

yeah it does

[cloud dirge]

Other than terminating and reopening the machine I am out of ideas sorry

You can ping the machine?

[ripe bane]

how to?

[cloud dirge]

The small text makes it look like you're trying to wget port 8080, confirm it is 8000

[cloud dirge]

Ping {ip address}

[ripe bane]

I pinged it

[cloud dirge]

Any responses?

[ripe bane]

its still thinking

[cloud dirge]

Looks like you don't have a connection to the machine?

[ripe bane]

I have no idea

I am confused with the connections and those Ip addresses

to many for me

[cloud dirge]

When you ping it is almost instantaneous reply

[ripe bane]

oh

I did CTRL + C

[cloud dirge]

Type
ip a tun0

Show results

[ripe bane]

and it gives some

[cloud dirge]

You aren't connected to the same network as that machine

Thats the problem

[cloud dirge]

You're not connected with the VPN

[ripe bane]

and how do I connect with it?

[ripe bane]

but I did install the configuration package

[cloud dirge]

Are you connected on your main machine? You need to transfer the openvpn file to the VM

Then on the VM you open a terminal and use sudo openvpn {file}

I would start with installing the VMware tools if you can so you can copy and paste it across easily.

When I use VMware I can't copy and paste without the tools installed so I I presuming it is the same for you

It will also fix your aspect ratio

Now ping it again

New terminal thi

[ripe bane]

oh really, okay

[cloud dirge]

You have the file already there so that is fine, but it will fix aspect ratio

[cloud dirge]

Should is a better word. I'm not a professional with VMs I just use everyday for work

Done. You can now get the flag.

[ripe bane]

oh okay

[cloud dirge]

Delete this picture asap

[warm condor]

Question

How long does it take for your THM account to get deleted?

[bronze vale]

It should be instant :)

[warm condor]

Oh

Um

Well

Not for me apparantley

After I deletedit

It tried logging back into the account

And I was somehow still able to

Why?

[crystal river]

I started my room on Authenticate but it keeps telling me unable to load page on every room I load. And Yes I'm connected to OPENVPN

[crystal marlin]

You mean the room page it unable to load? Have you tried to delete your browser cache already?

[viscid frost]

can you elaborate

[crystal river]

Yes the room page and yes I have

[crystal river]

None of my rooms load on my Kali. I'm connected to OPENVPN but every time I start a machine I get "problem loading page" What more information do you need?

[viscid frost]

oh, you don't need to connect to vpn to load a room

do they keep loading?

of yes, try another browser or try clearing cache, cookies

[crystal river]

I mean OPENVPN to connect to the Tryhackme network

[viscid frost]

Are you talking about the rooms or machines?

[crystal river]

They don't load at all

[crystal river]

Machines

[viscid frost]

ok

let me dive into it

message me personally

[warm condor]

I pressed delete account for THM but I can still login to it

So I can't create a new account because the email is link to the account that is supposed to be deleted

Anyone know why?

[bronze vale]

Let me look into this for you :)

[devout vale]

Can anyone Please help me, I cant access the Holo network
its been 3 days and i still cant access the network

[lean moth]

I know what I do is right because I checked with the video at the top of the page but it does not show up for me.

[viscid frost]

the right part isn't showing up?

[lean moth]

It is, and I have found the issue the question is asking for but when I click on it(same spot as in the video) I do not get the popup with the flag

[viscid frost]

ohh

are you using NoScript?

or any other extension

or antivirus

[lean moth]

Nope

I do use other extensions

[viscid frost]

yes which ones

[lean moth]

but I have tried in incognito and I have also tried in Edge which has no extensions installed

[viscid frost]

[winged nacelle]

Yo, I just today moved to linux mint, upon moving my TB drive has become read only, so any changes I try to make within the drive is feeding back as (e.g) rmdir: failed to remove 'file': Read-only file system. Any ideas on how to fix this, I have tried messing about with mount options and experimenting, (I tried mount / -o remount,rw)

cov@winged nacelle-MS-7A63:/media/cov/TB Drive$ mount | grep /media/cov/'TB Drive' /dev/sdb2 on /media/cov/TB Drive type fuseblk (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2) cov@winged nacelle-MS-7A63:/media/cov/TB Drive$

thats whats returning upon a quick grep

So it seems to me that my entire /-partition is mounted read-only. I believe this really only occurs when the system recognises errors on that partition if you get me and just remounts it to a read only partition to further prevent damage

Imma try run fsck on the partition and try atleast fix some errors

nah man its fucked still remain read-only

I tried "umount /media/cov/'TB Drive'" then "sudo fsck /dev/sdb2" but didn't work ahh im all out of ideas anyone got anything?

[winged nacelle]

yesss

whooooo

fuck yeah man

oh man that was interesting

my mind can finally rest

Hello, new to tryhackme. I am subscribed and have not had problems accessing rooms from my browser before. Unfortunately today I cannot load into rooms besides the OpenVPN and Tutorial rooms. When I try to load into other rooms, the room title and description states "Loading..." and I'm greeted with the continuous circle spin. Help would be much appreciated!

[trim moat]

have you tried a different browser or clearing the cache

[fervent vapor]

I have tried both with no success.

[trim moat]

have you tried from a different device

[fervent vapor]

From my desktop and laptop with no success.

[trim moat]

not sure, I have seen it a few times in here, but not sure what the fix was

[fervent vapor]

I'm not sure either. It just fixed itself after some patience and many refreshes later. Thanks for trying to help!

[warm condor]

true

[livid vapor]

there is, yes. And if you need something "official" done (such as stuff with account issues), that's probably your best bet. Most people in discord are just volunteers, so we don't have access to account related info

[naive dust]

Awesome. Thanks again.

[warm condor]

oh yeah how long does it "normally" take for your THM account to get fully deleted

so by that i mean all the account credentials getting wiped as well

[warm condor]

oh yeah one more question

is there any way to stop account deletion after you clicked the delete account button

[sharp acorn]

Hi! Is there a way to see the vouchers I have bought in the past?

[wide oasis]

Account will get deleted immediately and your credentials as well. And, there is no way to stop the account deletion after pressing the delete account button (:

[warm condor]

bruh

really

for some reason i can still login into mine

[warm condor]

after i pressed delete

[wide oasis]

Imo this might be a site bug. You can try to delete your browser cache memory and reload the site. Because, account deletion simply means a point where you're no position to recover your deleted account. Everything's woooosh. (:

[silver blaze]

How do i know the link for a specific site of a room? E.g. https://static-labs.tryhackme.cloud/sites/net-simulator/?config=introtonetworking is the link for the site of task 6 of the room 'extending your network'. But how I can I know this link without googling? Does exist a summary somewhere?

[crystal marlin]

Not sure if that's the only way, but if you are in the room, and you are opening the simulator site in split view, you could right click this window and inspect and find the link in the html code.

[sullen crown]

Hey I got an abandoned laptop here thought of installing kali on it how much swap do I need for 4Gb of RAM?

[granite sentinel]

just give it 2 GB

(kali)

for a VM anyways

[sullen crown]

Nope

Not vm

[granite sentinel]

I dont even recommend bare metal, cant help you there

[broken bridge]

hey does anyone who lives far away from the servers have problems with loading time, im connected via vpn and loading the html pages from the servers takes ages to laod

[warm condor]

I tried deleting my browser cache and trying on a completley seperate device too

it did not fix it

oof

[mint token]

the test ip is opening in browser but if I try to open any machine's ip, it doesn't

any help?

[vale musk]

not all machines would have a web service running, are you sure the ones you try do?

[mint token]

i am in this room's task 4

i guess it has web service

[crystal marlin]

For some web servers you might have to add the port to it, have you tried that already?

[mint token]

any specific port?

[crystal marlin]

Ye, the port which the web server is running on, if you have scanned it with nmap you should know the port

[mint token]

ill try that too

[mint token]

wow thanks bro

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin

[mint token]

it worked

sorry but i am new to this

really appreciate your help

[crystal marlin]

Sure no problem, you are welcome.

[viscid frost]

yess exactly

[viscid frost]

the default port for http is 80, but the machine owners can change it

when it's changed, you have to put it in

example:

http://10.10.9.9:3000

[long crystal]

hello, am i the only one who cant do the /bufferoverflowprep room because the remote desktop connection will get closed after 1 minute and i cant reconnect to it via remote desktop. i restarted the machine multiple times. does other ppl have the same problem?

[viscid frost]

I am stil far from that room

😆

[long crystal]

nahhhh you can do it bro 😄

[viscid frost]

ah it's in offensive pentesting

ok let me try to connect

with rdp

[mint token]

Tysm

[crystal marlin]

I tried it with the attack box and xfreerdp like mentioned in the task and it seems to work just fine

[long crystal]

for me it worked only 1 minute

on my host

[crystal marlin]

Maybe try it with the attack box as well to see if this also occurs there

[long crystal]

well it works on the attackbox

but i want to it work on my host

[crystal marlin]

I saw someone also had this issue a while ago and he got suggested to try remmina, maybe that's another option to try. Also maybe try to change the VPN Server, as you are subscriber you are also using the VIP VPN servers right?

[long crystal]

no

[viscid frost]

I also tested it.
When I use my VM, it dies after a minute and then I can't connect anymore

So I used remote desktop connection on windows

and it seems to be working great!

[desert mica]

Hey guys, I am running PowerUp.ps1 on the "Steel Mountain" room and am getting errors. Anyone run into this issue?

[timid mirage]

hey anyone know where the password lists are stored on attack machines?

[desert mica]

/etc/shadow

[wide oasis]

A file named "rockyou.txt" can be found in /usr/share/wordlists path but it is compressed so you have to decompress it. And other one you can find on seclists (which you have to download via github), if I get your question correctly

[timid mirage]

@wide oasis yeah thanks, the /usr/share/seclists path didnt work and i checked and there wasnt a seclists folder

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @wide oasis

[wide oasis]

Ohh btw, you can download the seclists by typing this command in terminal, apt install seclists. I forgot to mention it😅

[timid mirage]

@wide oasis yeah i can do that on my vm but on the attack box when i do apt install seclists it throws "E: Unable to locate package seclists"

[wide oasis]

I never did try to install something on attackbox so am not sure but I think attack box can't be connected to internet (I'm not sure if it does or not).

[vale musk]

on the attackbox it's in /usr/share/wordlists/SecLists

(and in wordlists there are others as well)

you can find things with the locate command, and with the -i option you can ignore case

[glossy sedge]

Yes I am about to say this

i keep trying to connect to openvpn on my kali linux machine and keep getting an error :

Anyone know why this is happening and a possible fix?

[viscid frost]

hey

what command are you using?

use sudo before your command

[viscid frost]

and it should work

[autumn forge]

oh thx completely forgot. Im new to this as u can see

[viscid frost]

yeah no problem!

good luck!

[autumn forge]

thx

[autumn forge]

Sorry for asking again but another problem I've been having is that the machine for the room I'm doing keeps randomly not responding while I have a reverse shell to the machine. I can't even ping the machine in a separate terminal until it starts responding again. Any reason why this is happening?

[worn orchid]

hi guys im new in tryhackme, i have tried different options to install seclists, im allways recieving unable to locate package

i have upgraded, updated,

[vale musk]

internet access is only available on the attackbox for subscribers, but SecLists is already installed in /usr/share/wordlists/SecLists

also, attackbox is based on Ubuntu, which doesn't have a seclists package in its repositories

[worn orchid]

oh thanks, mate

found it

i was looking for best1050.txt

/usr/share/seclists/Passwords/Common-Credentials/best1050.txt

is wrong writed on the task

your way was easier to find many thanks mate, btw im subscriber as well

[vale musk]

alright then you probably was misdirected by some guide that is based on Kali where its as easy as apt install seclists 🙂

[timid mirage]

@vale musk thanks bro

Anyway workarounds to purchase full access if your a U.S citizen and your bank won't allow international transactions?

[cloud dirge]

I always thought THM was american... 🤔

[trim moat]

it is built and ran from the UK

[timid mirage]

@naive dust maybe you could use paypal if its an option

yeah its in the uk and im from new zealand which is the other side of the world so loading the servers are really slow sometimes

[trim moat]

there's an AU server for VPN that should help with the speed

[timid mirage]

yeah im on the au vpn but even then loading websites takes ages for some reason

like half the time they time out so i use the attackbox but its just alot quicker using vm ya know

like rn im trying to reach the http://demo.uploadvulns.thm for the upload vuln room

but it just keeps timing out

and it cant be reached on the uploaded vm which i assume they meant the attack machine

[lusty marsh]

So... The hackpark room is not loading, where as every other room is loading just fine. Who do I message to report this? @zealous yoke

[naive dust]

@timid mirage I've tried to use my card through PayPal didn't work unfortunately

[cloud dirge]

Why cant you contact your bank and tell them to allow international payments?

[naive dust]

My bank doesn't support international charges, they said they lose to much money in fraud

So they won't push it through

[cloud dirge]

Wow.

Well then again, banks in Australia happily launder money and when caught say sorry and do it again. So can't really judge

[naive dust]

Lmao

[timid mirage]

@naive dust maybe giftcards

i cant see the paying options as im already subscribed

[naive dust]

It'll have to be visa and it probably will come to that

[timid mirage]

but if u send a screenshot of the options i might be able to think of something

[naive dust]

Or maybe I'll finally push myself to get the crypto.com card

[cloud dirge]

@naive dust is there any options for a second bank? We have a few in australia that don't have account fee charges, anything like that an option?

[naive dust]

Honestly not looking at it rn but I'll probably have to do a vida gift card

[gentle cedar]

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the Metasploit room? https://tryhackme.com/room/rpmetasploit

Just spins and spins "loading..."

[glossy sedge]

It works fine for me , try changing the isp

Like use mobile hotspot instead of wifi

[split smelt]

Not sure if that'll do it. I tried earlier while I was at work (I'm at home now) and still no love. 😦

[glossy sedge]

Oh. It's loading for idk the root cause of this. A long back it happned to me also with some other room but changing isp worked

[split smelt]

btw I have no trouble getting into other rooms.

[glossy sedge]

Ah. Ig use incognito

[split smelt]

Ah that did it. Weird. I wonder if it'll sit and spin again if I try to login while incognito.

....and yes, it continues to do that after I logged in.

Oh well. I'll go looking in other places for Metasploit. Thx @glossy sedge

You cannot change the title on your own, you have to wait a little bit and the lucky title will disappear on it's own.

how long will it take for is to disappear?

hi Guys

I cannot reach your pages, my account, via Firefox on my VM.

It was fine yesterday and i can access via my normal pc today, but I want to use the VM.

I was trying to set up a VPN from Parrot yesterday and i am a total novice. Total beginner.

I may have got a few thing wrong and upset your server. I just get a "cannot find server" message now.

Can you help please

Peter

[short vale]

I'm also encountering this error. Anyone managed to get a work around?

[soft totem]

As of September 24th 2020, Metasploit 6 is not working. We are advising everyone using MSF6 to downgrade to MSF5.

To save you some time, this is the link to the latest version of Metasploit 5: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/releases/tag/5.0.101

[vale musk]

Do we know why? Seems like a long time for it to go un-fixed

Also is there a post/link somewhere with known bugs, like an errata?

[soft totem]

shrugs there are pins for known issues/questions though.

[vale musk]

Yeah I noticed, but not really a central overview I think. Might also be difficult to realize without posting a lot of spoilers

[crystal marlin]

So you are saying you have issues with setting up open vpn on your VM? Can you reach 10.10.10.10 in your browser in your VM?

[spare mason]

I can connect to 10.10.10.10

The problem is I cannot now connect to my account

just get "we cannot connect to server at tryhackme

I am connected to the vpn right now, but blocked from the website / portal

I was making a bit of a mess of things yesterday and i think I may have been blocked from the web pages

[spare mason]

I can connect to 10.10.10.10
[10:56]
The problem is I cannot now connect to my account
[10:56]

[10:57]
I am connected to the vpn right now, but blocked from the website / portal
[10:58]
I was making a bit of a mess of things yesterday and i think I may have been blocked from the web pages

[crystal marlin]

So you cannot even reach https://tryhackme.com/ ?

[spare mason]

Not in Firefox in my VM. I just get the cannot find server message

[crystal marlin]

Have you tried a different browser already? What if you turn of the vpn, can you then reach the site and if no, can you reach other sites then THM with the VPN turned off?

[spare mason]

yes, I can access via browser on pc , no problem, it is just via the browser in VM

[vale musk]

sounds like your VM has internet issues then, THM can't block you only on your VM and not on your host pc

[spare mason]

I can access other sites on the VM browser and i am connected via VPN to 10.10.10.10. It will just not see try hack me pages

[crystal marlin]

So then try to use a different browser on your VM and try to clear cache on your VM

[vale musk]

can you try curl -vv https://tryhackme.com/ on your VM?

see if it works there

[spare mason]

Thanks, will try that

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @vale musk

[vale musk]

just to see if it resolves, if you can send http requests and see the respone

[spare mason]

I cleared cashe and restarted FF but no go, still get the same message. All other sites working as they should

[vale musk]

and the curl?

[crystal marlin]

And you got the token from tryhackme.com/profile in the "other" tab? Can you check again if it's the same token as on the site I mentioned. Also check if there are no spaces in your command. I was just updating my lvl with the bot yesterday and it seemed to work fine.

[bright blade]

I did check that like 1 minute ago, and no I didn't use any more spaces than needed

!

then

verify XXXXXXXXXXX

thats how I did send the command

well I tried and it didn't work...

can anyone use gif or its just my account's problem again

[crystal marlin]

Well if you check the leaderboard on THM you can see that people having gif pfp, so not sure if it's just your account having issues with it or if they have some special kind of pfp to use

[full wraith]

is anyone here using tool hakrawler ?

[crystal marlin]

Well seems they removed that, someone asked about that a while ago and they replied with "not anymore, as it's to slow" so I guess it's just those who had the profile picture as gif before they removed it

[soft totem]

Bot might be lacking. To confirm you took the code from https://tryhackme.com/profile and then "other" and copied the discord token?

[atomic sleet]

Vms cant really use wiifi, only an external usb wifi can be used, but even that takes effort

A wifi connection will just be sent through as an ethernet connection

@dire comet

[dire comet]

Gotcha. So running airmon and similar tools will likely not work on a setup like this then?

I mean, it'll work with an external USB Wifi, but not with the integrated wifi?

[atomic sleet]

If you remove the USB wifi from your normal OS I think you can have the VM use it exclusively

But integrated is not possible

oh wait

is the room broken ?

[crystal marlin]

Try to add -T4 so it's faster

[tawdry minnow]

Thanks, will try a new scan

[patent magnet]

I had the same issue last time as well but did not try -T4

I ended up going 10,000 ports at a time just to get through it myself

[patent magnet]

Let me know how you turn out

[tawdry minnow]

10000 enough to get the solution ?

[patent magnet]

Yeah -p0-10000

[tawdry minnow]

how long did that scan take you ?

About 30 seconds

Not sure why -p- was hanging so long

box or vm ?

[tawdry minnow]

ah ok thanks, i will let you know

Sounds good thanks 🙂

yes, still scanning

Someone as in me...?

You know words hurt, right?

[lusty marsh]

LOL sorry XD

It's all good, ill try opera or something later.

Tried Chrome, Edge, and Firefox

[trim moat]

please put it in the #room-bugs channel, but I see the issue

[stoic remnant]

I've installed open vpn on mac, imported my config file, and clicked connect but I don't think I'm connected

[bronze vale]

Can you go to your terminal and type curl http://10.10.10.10/whoami and see if you get a response

[stoic remnant]

no response

[bronze vale]

Okay, I haven't see OpenVPN on MacOS yet. If you give me two minutes to install it to my Mac, I'll be able to assist you :)

[stoic remnant]

great

[shadow belfry]

Same here, but I'm on a Parrot OS through VMware

[bronze vale]

Yours should be easier to diagnose.
Could you DM me a screenshot of the OpenVPN output log?

[bronze vale]

Okay, it's just like mobile 😄
When you run it, you shoud be able to view the output of it. Does it continually load or does the button become green after selecting your OpenVPN profile?

[stoic remnant]

The bubble in the menu bar turns green

and the "connect' option is disabled but then I see a connection timeout error

[bronze vale]

Alright, are you able to try a different VPN server?

Head to https://tryhackme.com/access, click on the drop down list, select a new server and re-download your file.

[stoic remnant]

same results

[shadow belfry]

So I don't actually have anything running in OpenVPN, sudo installed openvpn, and I'm able to access the THM site through two different browsers.
I'm just unable to download the config file I guess? it gives me a 404 error

[stoic remnant]

nvm

I just realized I had my cloudflare Warp turned on as well

[bronze vale]

You need to type sudo openvpn file.ovpn into a terminal window and leave it running @shadow belfry

[stoic remnant]

disabled that and now it's working

[bronze vale]

Oh, awesome sauce! At least it is working 😄
Happy hacking

[stoic remnant]

tyvm 👍

[bronze vale]

Not a problem :)

[shadow belfry]

@bronze vale Any idea where the default location of that file will be?

[bronze vale]

~/Downloads

[shadow belfry]

hmm doesn't look like it's in there from doin an ls -al

[bronze vale]

Try /Downloads

[shadow belfry]

I tried doing a locate file.ovpn and locate *.ovpn and got nothin

[bronze vale]

if not, re-download the file but save it in a specific location if you can

You have downloaded the VPN file from the access page, right?

[shadow belfry]

That's where I'm getting the 404 error from I believe haha

[bronze vale]

Ohh, you have a 404 error

[shadow belfry]

yeaa

[bronze vale]

Press the regenerate symbol, wait 2 minutes and re-download

My apologies -- it has been a long night 😄

[plain iris]

I just switched from my laptop to my desktop.

Trying to regenerate and download a new VPN=Getting a 404 error. "Uh-oh, this page has been lost in the matrix"
anybody know a fix?

[shadow belfry]

Haha no worries, I appreciate the help!

[plain iris]

@shadow belfry having the same issue

[bronze vale]

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

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

• Change VPN server and try downloading again

• Log out of your account and log back in.

Which VPN servers are you both trying to download the file from?

[plain iris]

i regenerated 2 hours ago. just got back home and no luck. vpn config file still causing 404

[shadow belfry]

Aha! @plain iris try switching the server and then regen

[plain iris]

Oddly enough it only lets me do an EU-Reg config file for some reason

[bronze vale]

Which VPN servers are giving you an error?

[shadow belfry]

US-East-Reg and US-West-Reg

[plain iris]

US-East-Regular-1

[bronze vale]

Alright, let me pass this onto Ashu :)

[shadow belfry]

Switch and did the regen trick and got the same 404.

Awesome, Thank you very much @bronze vale !

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @bronze vale

[plain iris]

no luck here yet

[shadow belfry]

@plain iris did you try the EU ones?

[plain iris]

trying all the servers now to be sure

boom

got it with the EU server

[bronze vale]

Yup, so the servers are going to be inaccessible until Ashu gets back. If you can access any other servers then you may have to stick with high ping for a few hours, unless you wanna take today off :)

[trim moat]

both US regular are having the issue, not the VIP though

[plain iris]

curious?whats the VIP?

for

cant type today f

[bronze vale]

US-East-Regular-1 and US-West-Regular-1 are giving 404 errors.
The site team has been notified, please be patient, they will be fixed ASAP!

Sorry for the inconvenience :)

[bronze vale]

It's for subscribers

[trim moat]

subs

[bronze vale]

Just less people on a VPN server, means less congestion

[plain iris]

no kidding? lol been a sub for years and had no idea.

[plain iris]

what command are you using?

[marsh magnet]

@late sky be specific.

What room are you doing?
Are you sure your connected to the VPN correctly? (Have you ran our VPN script linked below?)
Have you given it appropriate time to boot?
Have you attempted a NMap scan?

[plain iris]

Anybody know a way to do a speed-test for the different VPN servers? I've been a sub for years and found out today about the VIP servers.

I live on the east coast. I want to figure out if using the US-West-VIP server is faster for me rather than the US-East-Regular server I've been using.

I know the ping will suffer a bit(distance right?), but with the VIP server being less congested....would my network still be faster?

I am using my own Kali VM/vbox. Any recommended tools or ways to do this?

[sullen crown]

I keep getting 404 when I try to download my openvpn configuration file

I dont know what to do

[crystal marlin]

Maybe something like this could be helpful by trying it between your host and any target machine of a room while being connected to different VPN Servers:
https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-test-the-network-speedthroughput-between-two-linux-servers/

If you scroll down to the comments, one of the first comments suggested an easier way to do that without the need of downloading iperf.
Just an idea, no clue if that will fit your needs to figure out what you need to know, or if it's even working properly. 🙂

[nimble comet]

try https://tryhackme.com/access and regenerate the file before downloading

[sullen crown]

Yes thats what I did

[nimble comet]

from previous support, regenerate, wait 30 seconds and try again. If that doesn't work you may want to try to change the openvpn server and try that again.

[tawdry bridge]

hey

i wanted to download openvpn but it doesnt work it gave an error

something issue out of there?

ow i see it has been downloaded with an another server

[tawdry cloud]

Hello I am running through web fundamentals on thm. I have connected to the Open Vpn and ran the git hub script to prove I am connected but the web pages and boxes are unable to connect through Firefox ? I can nmap the box to prove it is up aswell I’m so confused any help is appreciated

[crystal marlin]

Have you tried to add the port for the web server which you probably discovered with nmap?

[tawdry cloud]

Yeahhh tried the ports still not working

Nikto isn’t picking it up either

@crystal marlin

[crystal marlin]

So what port did you try to add ?

[tawdry cloud]

22, 5000, 7777 and 8888 the room is Authenticate in web fundamentals

Think I found the issue

It’s a vpn issue it’s just hanging on my kali machine

After initialisation sequence complete

But I’ve regenerated it three times and still happening

[crystal marlin]

Can you open 10.10.10.10 ?

[tawdry cloud]

Nahhh it’s this room it doesn’t like

[tawdry cloud]

I can

[crystal marlin]

You are using the attackbox or your own machine?

[tawdry cloud]

My own machine but it doesn’t load it on the attack box either

[crystal marlin]

Are you sure you have entered the target machine IP instead of your attackbox IP?

[tawdry cloud]

Yeahhh I’ve copy and pasted it

So it wouldn’t be wrong

[crystal marlin]

As I was trying it with the attackbox right now and it was working right away

[signal skiff]

has the verify bot been fixed

[tawdry cloud]

Might just regenerate the vpn

[glad oyster]

No

[crystal marlin]

Can you send me a full screenshot while having the page and the attackbox open in split view?

[tawdry cloud]

won’t let me send a screenshot till I verify

[crystal marlin]

As a DM

[west oak]

I am not able to verify my THM account with TryHackMe bot. I contacted THM via email, but I haven't heard from them since last week

[crystal marlin]

Seems you are verified

[west oak]

That's my previous account which I deleted

I created a new account

[crystal marlin]

Ah ok. They are aware of the issue with the TryHackMe bot, so might have to wait a bit until it's working again.

[west oak]

aah okay

[warm condor]

Has the account deletion issue been fixed?

[main pawn]

Do you guys know if there’s any way to correct the name on the certificate? Turns out a Polish character got removed from my last name and now a letter is just missing despite correcting it on my THM profile.
I reached out to support but haven’t gotten any feedback since the 19th

[drowsy tapir]

Any reason why certain rooms load and others are stuck on an infinite loop(spinning colors)?

[trim moat]

it's a browser issue from I have heard, the THM is working on fixing it

[drowsy tapir]

Oh okay. Is there another way to access Vulnversity/Blue?

[trim moat]

I haven't seen firefox having the loading issue, you could try there

[drowsy tapir]

I tried Firefox and Chrome, the result was the same on Windows and Linux. Do you think it's my account?

[trim moat]

it's not your account, some of the rooms are having various issues, I just know that trying a different browser has worked in a few cases. the THM staff is working on getting it fixed

[drowsy tapir]

Alright thank you!
