[viscid frost]

ohk no problem

oh sorry man I mistakenly replied to you instead of him

🤦‍♂️

[warped saffron]

can someone help me

ive tried reinstalling netcat, updating whole system and what not

[wide oasis]

Use the channel #room-help or #room-hints .

And, use port somewhat higher than this.

[verbal gyro]

Hi, I have issues with the VPN servers, I am EUVIP1, I get traffic of 200B/S or 4.8 K/S, I basically can not load a simple site from try hack me, in order to finish the room. Now I don't have any internet problems because other sites are not a problem for me to load. It is kind frustrating that get a normal connection when the activity on tryhackme is small, but in this hour even with "VIP" I can't not perform at all.

[feral kiln]

Hi! I'm having some trouble downloading the .ovpn file. on both the Europe servers i've been getting a 404 page the entire day. I tried regenerating the file but still doesn't work. Am I the only one?

[wide oasis]

#site-support message

[feral kiln]

sorry, thanks! haven't tried step 3 yet

tried all steps again and still no luck

[wide oasis]

Try clearing browser cache and then try again after sometime?

[feral kiln]

can try, but so far it doesn't work on my windows pc, my virtual linux machine and my windows laptop

So i thought it'll be an issue everyone is having, and if not it might be something to do with my account

[wide oasis]

What do you mean "it doesn't work on my windows pc, my kali vm and windows laptop"?

[feral kiln]

The 404 page error when downloading the ovpn file

On either free europe server

[young bronze]

Looks like West VIP may be having some issues.

[wide oasis]

Might try later if you can

[sick ruin]

i m having same problem atm

[feral kiln]

Yeah I guess, Was checking if I'm the only one

Haha seems not

[wide oasis]

hsrhack - Please specify your problem

[feral kiln]

Ill stay patient then, Thanks a lot for the help

[wide oasis]

404 error when downloading the openvpn file

[wide oasis]

#site-support message

[young bronze]

My Burp is failing to connect to the target machine. Getting multiple timeouts with a short fuzz. ICMP to the target box is very slow to respond and my ping is 216. It's possible the VM needs more resources. My ping to the west coast VIP is 81MS. Burpsuite box with Juice from OWASP

[wide oasis]

Sorry, no idea about it. Maybe staff can help you. (:

[quasi wolf]

im trying to connect to the server thru openvpn vut im getting an error

[viscid frost]

yes, from which OS are you trying to connect?

[quasi wolf]

im using a kali linux vm

[viscid frost]

ok great

Did you download the config file?

[quasi wolf]

yes

[viscid frost]

ok

run the command
sudo openvpn name_of_your_file

but before that, go to the location of the file

[quasi wolf]

ok

[viscid frost]

yeah do it and let me know

[quasi wolf]

is this it

[viscid frost]

yes

[quasi wolf]

now what

[viscid frost]

Initialization Sequence completed

that means its working

[naive dust]

None of the vpn's are working properly right now for me.

[viscid frost]

now don't close that terminal, minimize

and open another one and work there

[quasi wolf]

ok

[viscid frost]

if you want to know your ip address, type the command ip addr

you will see tun0

[naive dust]

Or ip a

[viscid frost]

there you will see the ip address after inet

[viscid frost]

ok let me try

[naive dust]

Ok

[viscid frost]

What do you mean by not working?

[naive dust]

I tried connecting every vpn's from different countries on my openvpn but it's not working still

[viscid frost]

oh so it's not connecting?

[naive dust]

It says initialisation sequence completed but then when I ping or deploy any room it loses the packets

[viscid frost]

ohh

Are you on VM?

[naive dust]

I'm on a dual boot

Where I am on Kali os

[viscid frost]

oh ok

maybe try restarting?

[naive dust]

When I tried using Europe vpn it is forwarded to 404 error while downloading the config file

[viscid frost]

oh

[viscid frost]

let me check

[naive dust]

Ok

Take ur time

[viscid frost]

I can download both EU 1 and 2

[naive dust]

I still get 404 error

[viscid frost]

oh that's strange

[wide oasis]

#site-support message

[naive dust]

I even follow this steps but it won't work.

For me

[wide oasis]

Clear browser cache?

[naive dust]

When I am trying to download config file for eu 1 and eu 2 the request is forwarded to https://tryhackme.com/404 site.

[naive dust]

Ok I am trying that

[naive dust]

Still not working

[viscid frost]

oh man

[wide oasis]

Maybe you should try again later.

[naive dust]

In the case of us regular 1 it is downloaded successfully but it is not getting ping and more packets are lost there when I am connecting it

[viscid frost]

I had a similar problem but it somehow got fixed automatically

[naive dust]

I even run the troubleshooting script but it is not working still for eu 1,eu 2,in 1,au 1

[viscid frost]

☹️

[naive dust]

I think I should try later but right now I was doing the Superspam room and the vpn stopped working gradually when I got the shell and it was vanished as the vpn was stopped working and I can't connect it now as I have tried a lot of tries as mentioned in the troubleshooting problems as well Jabba told for 404 error as you mentioned man.

[naive dust]

Hello i can't download my OpenVPN config file. It could be me or the servers, i don't know for sure. Can you please have a look at it?

Ok I have found out that I can download the US config

[dreamy fractal]

Same here, I have got a 404 when I try to get my VPN config

[naive dust]

Does the US one work for you?

[dreamy fractal]

Nop none of the server config work (Havn't tested VIP though)

[naive dust]

Oh i guess i just got lucky that i could download the US one then

Lucky me 😉

[dreamy fractal]

Haha have fun

[naive dust]

Thanks man, have a nice one.

[wide oasis]

#site-support message

[naive dust]

Thanks for the info mate, now i know what to do next time.

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @wide oasis

[dreamy fractal]

Nice one, will try to logout/login

[naive dust]

I tried regenerating the config and changing the servers like 2 times with no luck, then the third time or some it worked.

[dreamy fractal]

Tried logout, all vpn configs failed but ONE (US-West-Regular-1), I will make do with that one!

[naive dust]

Which vpn server you are using right now?

[naive dust]

US

US West regular 1 or US East regular 2

[wide oasis]

EU server should works fine if you try..

[naive dust]

I don't remember I can go check.

[naive dust]

It's not working still for me

[naive dust]

Ok

They don't work for me either

[naive dust]

For some reason i can't see it anymore, it is just on the EU-1

But that's not the one that i downloaded I'm pretty sure

[naive dust]

404 error comes in when you download the config file for eu 1 and eu 2

Same here mate, I think the server's is having a bit of trouble right now.

Same for US ig

So if I was you i would just wait an hour and then come back.

And for IN also

Ohhh! The US-West-Regular-1 works

for me

Have you tried all this #site-support message

[naive dust]

It works for me sometimes but after sometimes it fails to connect when I am doing any room

[naive dust]

I have tried that either but it won't work for me

Like can you download the conifg?

If you can then it's the VPN servers that is down, again just wait some time and then come back.

[naive dust]

I can only download for US and IN but US West works fine sometimes whereas IN gets connected but when I see the access site it is not connected to the network.

[naive dust]

Can you try to send me a picture

?

Just in a DM

[naive dust]

I will have to keep patience and wait till the issue is sort

[naive dust]

Sounds good

I have closed my device recently

Going on for some sleep

Well then, sleep well.

[wide oasis]

#site-support message

[languid hazel]

still ntg , this is so frustrating

[wide oasis]

Try clearing browser cache..

[languid hazel]

tried , there is a problem with EU servers they dont work at all , I had to use USA server so I can connect to the box , really hope they fix that soon .

U can imagine how the respond speed it is when u r in africa nd u r connected to US

[naive dust]

I have tried all day - only two that works are India and US-West

[mellow comet]

A question that was already asked some time ago but I want to check if there's something new or another possibility. It's about two vpn connections at the same time. I need that because I have a desktop with tryhackme page open and raspberry pi where I use the tools. I don't have a browser on the raspi, I could spawn one if I start kali with desktop environment, but due to performance considerations I don't really want that. So, if I start a machine on tryhackme, I have a problem if the machine has a webpage I need to view, check cookies and things like that. To use the tools I have close the vpn conn on the desktop and start it on the raspi and vice versa. My question, still no chance for 2 vpn connections at the same time ? I can live with it if there's no chance, there are other options, but it would be convenient if you use a headless version of kali on something like a raspberry pie

since I read about the problems with vpn? VPN EU-VIP-2 works fine here, only one connection though 😄

[cloud dirge]

@mellow comet Yeah you can dual vpn. It will have a tun0 and a tun1 which you can verify via 'ip a'

I have run HTB and THM at the same time with success

You can either background the VPN with '&' or you can just have 2 terminal windows open both connected

You using openvpn for both connections?

[mellow comet]

yes, openvpn, but I think I didn't write it understandably 🙂 I thought about 2 vpn connections to thm at the same time, sorry

it's only allowed one, isn't it ?

[cloud dirge]

I guess you could, download 2 different VPN config files from different servers and run them?

Never tried in all honesty

[mellow comet]

I could try, I don;t want to do something that's not allowed or could hurt thm. I will give it a try though

[cloud dirge]

Ping a mod and ask them directly. They should know THM T&Cs

[mellow comet]

👍 thanks

[cinder dock]

I am trying to use my machine for the labs. I know you need to use the VPN I for some reason never get a connection so I cannot download the config file.

[bronze vale]

This doesn't work, you can only connect to one at one time, on top of that running two connections at once causes routing problems.

[frozen flare]

Hey there! I'm having an interesting issue with the THM site. When attempting to load a room, it stalls and just sits on the spinning animation.

1. I've cleared my cache and cookies.
2. It does not occur when viewing the room while logged out.
3. I noticed people were describing the same issue a few weeks ago, eg: #site-support message
4. Dev console is this: https://i.imgur.com/DxhKfBU.png

My username is Tredecate, same as on Discord.

[bronze vale]

@deep trellis Infinite loading room bug screenshots if you need it 🙂 ^^

[frozen flare]

I was hoping to be productive for once 😂 This is what I get lol

[deep trellis]

Thanks, I've fixed the issue in my development env. Will test it more and push it tomorrow:)

[frozen flare]

Glad to hear it'll be fixed for good! 😊

Is there any chance someone would be able to employ the temporary fix used for the ~120 people last time? I don't often get the motivation to do things and I was looking forward to finishing off a room I was working on 😅

[bronze vale]

Clear cache, log out of your account, try a different browser.
There isn't a current fix that works for everyone, sadly.

Apart from what will be pushed.

[frozen flare]

Oh, I didn't realize. Based on this ^ I figured @deep trellis used a temporary correction to get those accounts working again, since it took about 5 minutes.

I already tried the other things you mentioned. I'll wait for the push then I suppose 🙂

I found it not doable to install nessus on the THM machine. It does not complete after one hour.

You don't have to install nessus on deployed machine but on your own kali vm (if you own one)

[golden briar]

Yeah, i do not have any, currently only working with the THM Kali. 😦

[wide oasis]

It should be installed on it already then.

[golden briar]

Oh? Because without a license key, it is not installed, isnt it?

[wide oasis]

Yeah, you need to have activation key.

There is no issue in downloading the files. Refresh the page and try again.

What error you got?

Maybe you need to talk to mod to unlink the token from your previous account (if this is possible) and then you can verify again with bot.

[bronze vale]

While using the TryHackMe site, if you come across a 404 error, pages hanging or the site crashing.

[fallen juniper]

First off you're not asking a "VPN and other technical questiosn related to TryHackMe" question. Second what ur asking is illegal

[cloud dirge]

Well... if you know what to look for you can find it legally. Like office 365 has logs.

But the reasons he is looking for them is super strange

[fallen juniper]

I'm aware of that yes, we try and use our intuition when it comes to querying uses. There's a lot that goes into how we respond to someone.

A sketch-o-meter if u will

[hollow sentinel]

@bronze vale Sir, please handle this.

[bronze vale]

Are you a student at your school, or do you work in IT?

[hollow sentinel]

Im the student

[bronze vale]

Yeah, no. We won't help you here.
Your school needs to get an IT department or contact someone who can do that.

Vpn server and attack box offline? Cant connect to servers? Someone has same issue?

Second day in row now.

[wide oasis]

What do you mean by VPN server and attack box offline?

[loud wraith]

Cannot connect servers.

Its show that they are offline

[wide oasis]

Are you trying to connect to vpn?

[loud wraith]

Vpn dont give me ip address where to connect. And attack box is offline

[wide oasis]

What is the error while connecting to VPN?

[loud wraith]

Sec i get screenshot

Cant share screenshots. But vpn only give me address 0.0.0.0

[wide oasis]

Regenerate the VPN pack and then try again. While Regenerating, wait for 2-3 minutes before attempt to connect again.

[loud wraith]

Already done it like 2 days in row now...

[wide oasis]

Changed vpn servers?

[naive dust]

Restart your pc or laptop

[loud wraith]

It will only give that 0.0.0.0

[loud wraith]

Done.

[naive dust]

For me it worked and I am using the eu 1 regular perfectly

[loud wraith]

[wide oasis]

Have you reported this issue yet?

[loud wraith]

All server give me same ip

[wide oasis]

This means the vpn server is working fine but you are not connected with it.

[loud wraith]

Ya, but cant get ip to connect

No need to.

[naive dust]

I am not using attackbox as I am getting it for only one day because I don't have sub so

Hello, commands are not working on Tmux.

I just installed it on my VM.

[haughty glacier]

is this thm related or just general question

either way you could try learn it from this THM room - https://tryhackme.com/room/rptmux

if you have purely tmux questions tag me in #infosec-general and maybe I can help

should I move to infosec

are you doing a THM room?

[gritty walrus]

I've tried 2 browsers and 2 machines but i can't add 1 hour to my vms?

[velvet swan]

Is there a way to increase the performance on a browser machine?

[gusty wind]

good question.. since a couple of days, attackbox is really slow..
maybe THM can generate another attackbox version without gui.. just a console.. it could be faster and userful to a lot of rooms.

[velvet swan]

well that's the thing, i use my own machine when it comes to linux, but there r some rooms where windows tools in general r used that aren't cli

like im doing the malware introductory one rn cuz i really wanna get into malware, but this attackbox is utterly slow

i right click and it takes like 30 seconds to load

nvm i just realized i can connect thru rdp, i cant read

[slate hedge]

I would like it too. A cli is enought for many of the rooms, THM uses less resources and we have a faster shell.

[tardy veldt]

Hello, I have problem with tryhackme "VulnUniversity"
whenever i deploy the machine i cant access the website using port ||3333||
it just keep loading forever and yes my vpn is on and i tried restarting the machine/ waiting a lot of time,also i can ping ip with ~50ms

[sinful gull]

yah GUI uses lot of ram so CLI would be great and way faster than this current one

[crystal marlin]

Oh nvm, you said you waited a lot of time ^^

[sinful gull]

you can try to re-generate openvpn file and try to connect again that works for me sometimes

[tardy veldt]

i did

[sinful gull]

try to change vpn server

[tardy veldt]

how can i do that?

btw other challanges work for me but not this one

[sinful gull]

tryhackme.com/access -> vpn -> select server -> download ".ovpn" done!

check your tun0 interface maybe you are not connected to vpn ?

[tardy veldt]

i said i'm connected. and i can ping the server

but cant curl http:/ip:3333 and also can't open it to my browser

i remember it did opened for 3 sec first time, after 10mins loading ofc. then it went back to load again

[sinful gull]

mmmmmmmm

[tardy veldt]

same problem after changing from eu2 to eu1

the problem is not from a task update or smthng right?

even in writeups once they get the port they just connect to the website

[sinful gull]

yah, this same thing happens with me sometimes butttt.......

[tardy veldt]

for what reason u think is this? because other rooms works fine.My problem is with Vulnversity room. i thought its part of the challange but i can see all of the writeups they just connect to the http://ip:port

[verbal cypress]

i'm experiencing some issue where i can't extend the machine time even if there's only 1 minute left
does anyone face the same issue
or how can i fix it?

[serene turret]

Whenever i try to dowload my ovpn config i am redirected to some 404 page. Is this a bug or is there a way around it?

[gusty wind]

sometimes time freeze.. to be sure the time you have, refresh the page often.

[verbal cypress]

i get that too
but that's not my problem
the "add 1 hour" button doesn't work for me

[gusty wind]

same solution.. refresh.. that's all I know. if it doesn't works, IDK.. sorry

[verbal cypress]

yeah it doesn't work sadly

but thanks for the help

What is recommended more - the AttackBox, or Kali browser?

Also, are either of these able to persist and remain updated after I do so, or do I have to go through things like setting up burpsuite every time?

[young bronze]

Just wondering, but you're level 8 right?

What have you been using up to this point?

[trail cedar]

A bit of everything.

I RDP in, occasionally SSH, try using the AttackBox, use the Kali browser build etc. I like to be able to use a variety of options when I need to.

I'm mainly interested as persistence would be awesome, as well as knowing how often these machines are updated. It's the developer in me, I like to know these things.

[naive dust]

im trying to change country and i cannot would appreciate some help .

[cloud dirge]

@bronze vale Sorry to ping you like this but as you were the one I was talking to about slow speeds with THM, thought I should ping you again about it.

Tested with the Indian VPN file and I am getting the same slow speeds. Screenshot is the above pings with the Indian VPN file and the below ones are with the AU VPN file. Is this normal for an Australian to have these delays with the THM rooms?

[pulsar surge]

Is there way to download a rooms file without having to log in to the attackboxs' browser? cause each time i do it just glitches out

[viscid frost]

What do you mean by a rooms file?

Files located on victim machines?

[velvet swan]

i tried thru rdp, it's laggy af

[viscid frost]

yes, if your host os is windows, you can try the Remote Desktop Connection in Windows

[velvet swan]

im using remmina via linux

but it's very laggy

would it make much of a difference?

if i just used it on my normal main os

i was under the impression that u have to be connected to openvpn to connect

[wide oasis]

Some machines might be laggy when you connect via rdp..

[velvet swan]

yeah i noticed, i was just wondering if it was just something i was doing wrong or if there was a fix

[viscid frost]

yes you can try

[viscid frost]

yeah

[small nexus]

i can't seem to add 1 hour to my machine time? is it just me or?

[glossy sedge]

[glossy sedge]

how much time is remaning

[small nexus]

[foggy lily]

The add 1 hour button doesn t work for me

I click it but nothing happens and a machine expired 😭

[haughty glacier]

if you refresh the page it should update the timer

it doesn'

t seem to add on dynamically unfortunately

but it should not actually expire

[foggy lily]

When i refresh the timer is not updated

[small nexus]

yep the timer is not working

[shadow pawn]

There's a problem with tryhackme server I think. I cant ping machines on my own kali. Is anyone having this issue?

and cant extend the timer, too

[main karma]

The add 1hr does not work

[echo bloom]

same

it's since the morning

[main karma]

that is good to know lmao. I was wondering if I messed up something

[main karma]

I can ping and hack boxes, but not extend the time

[echo bloom]

there are few people above they had the same problem

[main karma]

It is a bit frustrating tho. I have to redo everything again lmao

[shadow pawn]

I tried generating new ovpn. and then start machine, but no luck. I'm a non-subscribe user though.

[main karma]

how much time have you been waiting for a ping?

[shadow pawn]

after starting the machine, at least 15 minutes.

[echo bloom]

i don't seem to have any problem with pinging but it's the timer

[shadow pawn]

idk. But I can show you what's the situation right now

[frozen patrol]

hey guys im about to working on AOC 2019 in Reverse Elf-ineering part. And when i wanted to compile the file using radare i got these output:

[wide oasis]

#room-help or #room-hints would be appropriate channel to ask this question.

[shadow pawn]

Could anyone help me out about this machines problems? I'm about to lose my streak. Is this the right room for this kind of problems?

[wide oasis]

Yes, if you want to regain your streaks, drop a mail at [e-mail] with following contents:

username: your_username
streak should be: your streak that was lost
email: your_mail_id

[shadow pawn]

That's not the serious case right now i think. I cant ping the IP right now, even waiting for 20 minutes long. And tried with other rooms. 🙂

[wide oasis]

I think staff members are currently looking for this issue of not being able to add 1 hour and other issues.

[shadow pawn]

Thanks, that's good to hear.

[main karma]

is it a windows or linux box?

Because maybe it does not respond to ping

Have you tried to nmap with -Pn

[shadow pawn]

Right now its windows.

[wide oasis]

Win boxes won't respond to pings

[main karma]

windows does not respond to icmp

[wide oasis]

If you can scan the win box with nmap and you get the scan result then box is working fine.

[main karma]

I agree. But if it tells you ```sh
Starting Nmap 7.91 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2021-08-13 14:19 CEST
Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 3.09 seconds

[shadow pawn]

I'm agree too. Tried -Pn flag 2 times 😦 Now its working with this flag.

[shadow pawn]

Thanks, btw

when i try to start a machine it says i already have a machine running in this room, but i dont... where could i terminate it ?

[wide oasis]

Are you terminating the machine in the same room from which you deploy the instance?

[naive dust]

i dont even see where can i terminate it.

i can't start it either, button is inactive for me.

[wide oasis]

Are you on your room page?

[naive dust]

yep

[wide oasis]

[young bronze]

Does anyone know a way to speed up Page loads in Zap because it's waiting for the GoogleFonts to load?

Maybe disabling remote fonts?

[viscid frost]

Are you talking about Manual Explore?

[young bronze]

Yeah, anything, it's taking forever for the page to load

[viscid frost]

is it particular to that page?

[young bronze]

I've excluded fonts.googleapis, and it's just chugging :9

It's still waiting for it to load even after turning off remote fonts, it's still trying to make the connection

[viscid frost]

🧐

Is it happening in all websites?

[young bronze]

No

Port 8888 on Authenticate

Port 5000 is fine

[viscid frost]

You disabled this option?

[young bronze]

That is enabled to be excluded

So, it isn't showing up in Zap

but firefox is still trying to load it, until it times out

[viscid frost]

ohh

maybe try another browser?

[past schooner]

@spare blaze

When i try download configuration file to OpenVPN i got 404.

[crystal marlin]

After regenerating the file you have to wait 3+ min before trying to download

[past schooner]

Hmm okey i will wait

[stone mural]

I'm trying to work through the Nessus room right now, but I'm having trouble downloading Nessus on the Attackbox as it's detailed in the instructions in the room. The room mentions it's possible that if the download is stalling, then it means there's not enough space on the VM. Is there something I should delete from the Attackbox to free up space? It looks like other people are having the same issue

[naive dust]

when i go to access and try to download my vpn configuration, i get 404: Uh-oh, this page has been lost in the matrix.

something is clearly broken, as i can see that its not only me that has this issue.

[haughty glacier]

did you check the pins in this channel?

[haughty glacier]

I don't really know, personally I just used a new virtual machine on my own system to do Nessus room/learn nessus, not sure how good the attackbox would be for it ;/

[naive dust]

i did now.

[stone mural]

yeah, word, that's what I was afraid of : / I'm on my work computer so I don't really have access to a VM other than the attackbox

[naive dust]

@spare blaze i am getting 404 when trying to get my openvpn configs...

[haughty glacier]

not able to install a vm on work computer?

[stone mural]

Probably not, I don't want to get flagged by IT lol. Like, it might be possible, but if I can access nessus without having to install an auxiliary VM that would be ideal

[crystal marlin]

Regenerate the config and then wait for 3+ min before downloading it

[naive dust]

i regenerated config 3 hours ago

[crystal marlin]

Then select another server, regenerate the file and wait 3+ min

[tribal bloom]

@spare blaze what can be done to get openvpn config. i am unable to get that all day...

[wide oasis]

I should delete it now.

[cosmic island]

Here's what worked for me, I regenerated the file then switched servers in the dropdown within 5 seconds

It took me quite a bit of trial and error to figure it out

I still can't connect though, so that's pain

[naive dust]

i cant even get to my openvpn config , not even talking about conneting

i am getting 404

i tried regenerating, tried waiting for hours, regenerating again, switching servers , etc. pinging @spare blaze

nothing, all day, just nothing.

[cosmic island]

have you tried this?

[naive dust]

yea

i tried this also

i am getting 404

[cosmic island]

hmm, I don't know then, sorry

it's been a bit iffy for me as well

[naive dust]

yeah, me too. and i am paying a subscription btw.

[cosmic island]

I'm completely stumped now...

[naive dust]

yeah your method shouldnt work

because you regenerate file and then switch different server

that shortly allows you to download config, but it doesnt work.

this needs to be properly fixed and work like it says, you renegerate and wait for sometime, then download without no 404's... @spare blaze i hope you can see that there are multiple users affected and are unable to download vpn configs...

[cosmic island]

also wow that connections thing is impressive

Hey there!
With our new API changes, our "update-timezone" URL has been moved.

To update the timezone/ country flag on your account to your current location, disable any incognito browser sessions/ VPN connections and click this link:

[edgy vector]

hello , i have a problem connecting to openvpn via VM linux with the active machine
can someone help me plz?

@here

[nimble comet]

well what's happening

give a bit more detail...

[edgy vector]

well, I have connected via the linux machine with openvpn

on tryhackme it shows i am connected

when i go to a room and start attack machine

I have to copy the IP to see if it's working

and I am getting

Unable to connect error

etc

[nimble comet]

1 sec

are you trying to connect to the Attack machine or to a Room's machine

the attack machine is an in-browser attack box, not a target

you want this:

[edgy vector]

yes

I clicked on that

wait for spawning the IP

[nimble comet]

not this 😉

[edgy vector]

when I copy the IP , get unable to connect

yes

[nimble comet]

ok.. 1 sec

can you give me a screenshot of the output of the OpenVPN in terminal?

[edgy vector]

you need a screenshot of the ifconfig to see if I'm running the open VPN

or that command where it says completed at the end

and never finished

[nimble comet]

the sudo openvpn <file>

[edgy vector]

ok one moment

[edgy vector]

https://ibb.co/3h30HKf

done, srry for delay

@nimble comet hope you still here xd

[nimble comet]

can you ping the target machine (remember not to close the openvpn process)

actually.. do me a favour and do "ip a" and check if you don't have two vpns running

because that should be running on tun0 not tun1... so that's what I'm thinking

[edgy vector]

so I can ping the IP address, I get results so that is working

and when I write ip -a

ip a

I get eth0 lo tun0 and tun1

[nimble comet]

what room are you doing btw?

[edgy vector]

network services

[nimble comet]

ok, so you started the machine on Task 3, then what?

[nimble comet]

should make sure that tun0 isn't a THM internal ip address, because if it is you're running 2 VPN and it'll cause trouble.

[edgy vector]

I've being doing tasks with the atack webbrowser until now but I want to do tasks on my vm linux from now on, is much better to learn

so I have downloaded open vpn, downloaded the files

connected

then open task 3 - press start machine

i wanted to know if it's working but when I paste the IP on my web browser is not connecting or saying to me anything

[nimble comet]

do the task...

if it doesn't have an http web server it wont connect on port 80 which is what your browser is trying

not all machines have port 80 open 😉

[edgy vector]

one sec

ok so I have stopped the vpn on the machine, I had no tun0 or tun1

then i started again with my configuration, it shows with green on the top that I am connected to an IP

then when I go to room --> Start machine --> wait 1 min --> copy the ip and paste --> same unable to connect

[edgy vector]

ok so

what do i have to do?

[nimble comet]

you have to read the instructions on the room, and follow them.

[edgy vector]

the ones from task 1 get connected?

[nimble comet]

no.. task 3 where you are...

[edgy vector]

ok i have read them already, I am at the answers

[nimble comet]

do the nmap scan then.

[edgy vector]

and when i try the smbclient thing on my linux machine

I get error

and I were to be connected to OpenVPN on thm I think I wouldn't get this error :))

sorry task 4 this is

[nimble comet]

do me a favour and try to do the nmap scan and show me the output...

also it's 3am here, I'm going to sleep soon

[edgy vector]

which nmap scan?

[nimble comet]

the one... on task.. 3

[edgy vector]

sorry to be confused but on the task 4 it's asking me to do the smbclient command, not the nmap

and when I do smbclient //10.10.10.2/secret -U suit -p 445

or

mbclient //$ip/profiles

I get do_connect: Connection to failed (Error NT_STATUS_NOT_FOUND)

sau

or

do_connect: Connection to 10.10.10.2 failed (Error NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT)

[nimble comet]

because 10.10.10.2 is not the machine...

you seem unable to follow simple instructions.

I'm going to sleep now

please consider starting the room from the top

you're failing to understand what you are doing....

[edgy vector]

:))

yes, i am sorry for that bro

[nimble comet]

good night

[edgy vector]

I will keep reading and documenting myself

ty for trying though

gn

[nimble comet]

go back to the top and start again.. try to understand it all before copy pasting things

nite

[edgy vector]

xd

post a screenshot of the the openvpn script, maybe it has some clues. Also make sure you're not running another VPN at the same time. Also, did you try switching VPN servers when regenerating the file?

[cosmic island]

Yes, I tried switching servers, multiple times. No luck there.

Would you prefer the log output for the WSL2 Ubuntu instance, or the Windows instance, or both?

[nimble comet]

ubuntu will do

I suppose

[bronze vale]

Hey 👋

If anyone is still experiencing problems with the EU-1 OpenVPN server, please ping me.

[cosmic island]

I am still having trouble. I have downloaded the file, but am getting a failure when I attempt to connect.

[bronze vale]

Send a screenshot of the output log?

[cosmic island]

I'm assuming there's no sensitive data in the file, so here it is

[bronze vale]

When you run it using the OpenVPN gui, there should be a button to debug, can you screenshot the output from there?

[cosmic island]

I don't see the debug option anywhere

[bronze vale]

I think it looks like this?

[cosmic island]

That was the log file that I uploaded

[bronze vale]

Yeah but can you run the file, wait 10 seconds and then screenshot what is outputted

It just looks like some connection issues to the server, may need to wait 5-10 minutes for it to connect properly

[cosmic island]

Is this what you're looking for?

And here's what I get after the error

[bronze vale]

Which server is this?

[cosmic island]

EU-Regular-1

[bronze vale]

Does 2 have the same issue?

[cosmic island]

Last time I tried, it did, but I was also experiencingt the 404 issue then

I'll try again.

[cosmic island]

Getting 404

I can't download the configuration file

[bronze vale]

Press regenerate, wait 2 minutes and try again:)

[cosmic island]

I did that already, same result

It worked for EU-Regular-1 but not 2

[bronze vale]

One moment, bare with me

Do you have a mobile device?

[cosmic island]

yes, I do

[bronze vale]

Try going to https://tryhackme.com/access and see if you don’t get the same 404 errors

[cosmic island]

Same error

[bronze vale]

@zealous yoke if you’re not busy can you try downloading the Eu2 VPN config file and see if you get a 404

[zealous yoke]

I'm taking a look

[stiff tartan]

@zealous yoke i kinda had a doubt about a question on the tryhackme courses on their website and there were no writeups.

the question is "What kind of a protocol is TCP"

[bronze vale]

Try asking in #room-help :)

[stiff tartan]

ohh cooll sorry

[zealous yoke]

Hey, what is the issue exactly? Downloading an d generating a vpn file from EU-Regular-2? @cosmic island

[cosmic island]

Yes

I can access tryhackme.com/access fine, but attempting to download a configuration file for EU-Regular-2 404s me

[zealous yoke]

Could you share a screenshot of your browsers console please? (: I'm able to download okay here on my side

[cosmic island]

On the 404 page, or before I click download?

[zealous yoke]

before/as you click download please (:

Here it is before

and after

Ovpn is super slow. This is how it looks.

If you are getting "Initialization Sequence Complete" then everything is fine.

[stray cove]

Which server is it, might be a bit of load

Seems to have been my other vpn. So I guess I can't run both.

But...my security... T_T

[zinc gulch]

I'm unable to download the vpn config file.. just redirects me to a 404 page

any help?

[raw flint]

Is there a way to serve files through openVPN, so that the target can connect and download it? Because I can't get it to work

[viscid frost]

yes

[viscid frost]

try regenerating and waiting for some time

also you can try with other servers

[viscid frost]

You want to transfer files to your target machine right?

[raw flint]

basically, yes

[viscid frost]

ok

you can do it in 2 days as far as I know

either with scp or by hosting a python server then using wget command

[raw flint]

I did already find a different solution, but if you know how to do it normally, that'd be great

in this case I needed to use a python server, but it kept not connecting

[viscid frost]

ok, you got a reverse shell? or you have the ssh credentials

[raw flint]

I had the ssh creds

[viscid frost]

ok then you can use scp

example:

scp file.txt remote_username@10.10.0.2:/remote/directory

[raw flint]

usually yes, but in this case the target had a crontab running a curl every minute. I redirected it through /etc/hosts

[viscid frost]

ok

so were you able to transfer the file?

[raw flint]

eventually yes, but I had to ssh into my AttackBox and just killed the service already running on port 80, letting me then serve the file

kinda a pain in the ass

[viscid frost]

I don't get you

Why did you need to ssh into your attackbox?

[raw flint]

cuz the service running on port 80 was the thing letting you view the machine in your webbrowser

[viscid frost]

which service are you talking about?

Can you please elaborate so that I can understand what is happening

[raw flint]

I don't remember

[viscid frost]

wait

let me be sure I am getting you right

you got into a machine, right?

[raw flint]

was this room:
https://tryhackme.com/room/overpass

And yes, I got into the machine

[viscid frost]

ok that's good

[viscid frost]

ok

good

you got the credentials

you got into the machine

Have you got user.txt?

[raw flint]

yes, was the last part I got stuck on. There was a crontab running a curl every minute and feeding the results into bash. You had to redirect it by editing /etc/hosts

but you're unable to do so with the attackbox, because port 80 is already occupied in the attackbox

[viscid frost]

can't you use another port?

[raw flint]

/etc/hosts doesn't allow specifying ports

[viscid frost]

ok

How is port 80 occupied ?

in the attackbox

[raw flint]

By the service that allows you to view the machine in the browser

[viscid frost]

huh?

I can't say about that, I don't use attackboxes

Do you have VM ?

[raw flint]

nope, have just used the attackbox so far

[viscid frost]

oh I would really recommend to setup a vm

personal vm with kali/parrot

it's great to have

Kali on Virtualbox

it's easy to setup

[raw flint]

Sounds like a good idea

[viscid frost]

yeah

I still didn't touch Overpass

I will try it by tomorrow

I will let you know

[raw flint]

It's fun, except for the last bit. That bit sucks

[viscid frost]

okk no more spoilers!

[gilded rock]

Bumping this! No rush on it either, whenever a mod is available :)

[viscid frost]

oh you still haven't got any reply, maybe try searching for old messages

[gilded rock]

Nah nothings changed (checked again) all is fine though, it's just a discord role 😉

[gilded rock]

I hate pinging, so apologies in advance, but @supple sonnet if you could help with the above I'd really appreciate you!

[shell loom]

ok, its probably been asked somewhere, but I can't find it. I keep getting an error that I can only have 3 machines when I try to launch my attack box. I've signed out, I've ended my browser session, and cleared my cookies...still it persists...help

[magic echo]

hello, how can i change my account's region?

[zealous yoke]

It means that you have machines running in other rooms. Let me find the code snippet that allows you to view what machines you have running and where

With the new API changes, if you wish to terminate all machines that you have deployed (this includes the attackbox!), you can paste this code snippet in your browsers console:

fetch('/api/vm/running')
  .then(r => r.json())
  .then(vms =>
    vms.forEach(vm =>
      fetch('/api/vm/terminate', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: JSON.stringify({ code: vm.roomId }),
        headers: {
          'csrf-token': csrfToken,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }
      })
    )
  )

Hello

[viscid frost]

oh man this is wonderful

[viscid frost]

[viscid frost]

oh you already got verified

[magic echo]

tnx

[viscid frost]

I was able to host a python server on port 80 without any problems, are you getting any errors when trying to host?

[signal barn]

Hey I need some help. I cant download my openvpn file, when I click "download configuration file" it just redirects me to a site with a 404 Error. I tried this a few days ago and nothing happened....

Please help.

[viscid frost]

Hey

Try to regenerate, then wait for 2/3 minutes, and then try to download

[signal barn]

Ok, I'ma try

[viscid frost]

yeah

[signal barn]

still doesn't work... sadly

LOL it did work after changing Server's a few times....

Thanks! @viscid frost

ahh great

[snow ginkgo]

hi! is wireshark removed from the attackbox? there are many applications but wireshark is not installed. I'm in the Wireshark 101 room

nvm

nevermind the nevermind 😅

actually I have another question, that might solve the above one

Open Wireshark (see Cryillic's Wireshark Room for instructions) and perform a TCP Connect scan against port 80 on the target, monitoring the results. Make sure you understand what's going on. --> this is the task that I have right now. According to this, please let me know if I am understanding it wrong. The task requires me to activate Wireshark in target device, so I can monitor results, is that correct?

nvm (now for real)

[viscid frost]

You will always use wireshark on your device, not the target devices

[snow ginkgo]

Thanks

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @viscid frost

[viscid frost]

It's for monitoring packets

It will capture everything

[snow ginkgo]

But for testing, if you used Wireshark on target device, you can monitor packets also, just to see what it receives and returns, right? Though in real life situation makes no sense

[viscid frost]

yes ofcourse

that's why it's used in defense

[snow ginkgo]

Thanks

[viscid frost]

no problem!

I'm trying to do a reverse shell but every time I try to open the shell from the browser appears this error:

[viscid frost]

I see

you are doing something wrong

What are you trying to do?

You are trying to get a reverse shell from a php file that you uploaded, right?

[topaz token]

yes

[viscid frost]

ok

have you modified the php file?

[topaz token]

yes

the ip on the shell must be the one highlighted in green on tryhackme right?

[viscid frost]

yes

best is to check your ip address using ip addr

so are you putting the right ip?

[digital quartz]

I'm trying to connect to openvpn in linux, it returns this while opening the configuration file. but when checking if it connected to tryhackme through openvpn it says I'm not connected

[viscid frost]

select the right server and refresh here

[viscid frost]

[viscid frost]

https://tryhackme.com/access

[digital quartz]

it didn't work

[viscid frost]

for which server did you download your config file?

[digital quartz]

it shows this

[topaz token]

I tryed to use 1234 and 4545 port

[viscid frost]

ok are you listening for it with netcat?

[topaz token]

yes

[viscid frost]

did you download IN-Regular config?

[viscid frost]

ok let me see

which task

[topaz token]

my virtual box

[viscid frost]

[digital quartz]

can it be because I'm using windows subsystem for linux with GUI from RDP

[topaz token]

yes

[viscid frost]

How did you conenct?

[viscid frost]

I don't think so

[jaunty spruce]

Not sure if this is tech support, but how do roles in this server work?

[topaz token]

with open vpn

[viscid frost]

if you verify, you get your role

[wind wedge]

They're your level from the site

[viscid frost]

From your windows os? or vm?

[topaz token]

vm

[jaunty spruce]

I understand, is it linked through the profile page onsite?

Thank you

[digital quartz]

very first I can't access the ip. I can technically use the browser based machine but its just I wanted to give openvpn a try for the first time

[viscid frost]

you don't need to use the browser based machine

[topaz token]

noo, i'm not connected

[viscid frost]

ok

try restarting your vm

change port to something higher on your reverse shell

[topaz token]

ok

[viscid frost]

can you dm me, I want to take a good look at it

[viscid frost]

yes

[digital quartz]

sure. I am trying to reinstall the files and try if it will work

[viscid frost]

okk redownload it

[topaz token]

Same problem

[viscid frost]

Do you have any firewall?

[topaz token]

I try to use the tryhackme vm

no

[viscid frost]

did it work with that?

[topaz token]

i'm trying now

[viscid frost]

ok try if it works

if it works, then something is wrong on your side

[viscid frost]

What do you see when you type ip addr in your vm

[topaz token]

Same

[viscid frost]

You type sudo killall openvpn , then you connect to the vpn again. It should work after that.

[viscid frost]

oho

php1.php?

or try phtml, php5

[topaz token]

[viscid frost]

yeah

Can you show the first few lines of your rev shell?

can someone help me please?

[warped saffron]

i have the same doubt too. so if we add the magic bytes to the start of the file itl be detected as the file which we specified in the magic bytes right? or should we use r2 or something like dat?

[viscid frost]

by adding those bytes to the file it's being identified as gif

[viscid frost]

What command are you running?

[warped saffron]

so no need of r2?

[viscid frost]

you don't need r2 here

[warped saffron]

but u can do it with r2?

[viscid frost]

radare 2?

[warped saffron]

yea

[viscid frost]

radare 2 is for reverse engineering

your php file is open source ,why would you need radare 2

you need hexeditor

[warped saffron]

so its not possible to edit hex values wid r2?

[viscid frost]

I haven't tried, so I can't say

[warped saffron]

i jus saw somewhere they used r2 for changin magicbytes dats y i asked

[latent badge]

Im having an issue uploading a file for a room I've created. I get 504 errors. Can someone direct me to the correct resource for assistance?
