your original question was "is there any way to x"
and port forwarding
so it was easy
i cant get my other pc to connect
how do i
different question, and if you asked that, I'd not have answered
and now that I think of it, this is for support connecting to the THM VPN and other technical connectivity problems related to tHM
says just "vpn" ๐
I think there is some problem with
Indian Ovpn servers
we never get the ping for the machines
not only me its with my friends too
so we have to use eu-regular servers
Hello ladies and gentleement,
I hope that you have a wonderful weekend. So, I have just beginned with the totally beginner path and I am at the linux foundementals (sorry if I misspell words, my english are terrible). I want to download Linux instead of using the attackbox. I want to download Kali Linux and make a virtual machine using Virtual Box.
Question: Where is the image file of Kali for Intel VMs, I can not find it anywhere. I tried to download it from here https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-virtual-machines, but while it was downloading, I saw that it was the AMD version. I am watching a tutorial by network chunk. He says to go to kali.org/downloads, but it directs me to the link I said before.
Anyone who can help me gets a virtual cookie for free.
Thanks,
Nikolas.
(Anyone who can help, please ping me so it will be a lot easier to see it.)
Home of Kali Linux, an Advanced Penetration Testing Linux distribution used for Penetration Testing, Ethical Hacking and network security assessments.
I don't think that "amd version" means what you think it means
but what download did you choose specifically?
Go to that link download any linux distro then setup your vb done
Yeah there is only win, lin, mac how tf he can see amd ๐
One moment @thick terrace @haughty glacier
I will take a screenshot
and saw it to you
Sure
kali-linux-2021-W33-installer-amd64.iso
he probably means this
or similar
Ig that only coz other than that there is no option
which just means it's supported on x86 architecture and not that it is for "AMD processors"
yeah, read above
Bruh download oracle then download a linux distro done why go into so many things
thanks guys @thick terrace @haughty glacier
Gave +1 Rep to @thick terrace
+rep @haughty glacier
np

U can use this also instead of oracle
don't confuse them further if they are using virtualbox using the virtual box link is optimal for most users
it will come with the tools for copy paste and other functions installed already
which a lot of people seem to struggle with
Yeah but still i prefer the manual way
And whats the difference?
No, I mean whats the difference bwtween Virual Box and VmWare

Virtual box is something in which you can use other os and vmware is a vb same as oracle
Like install oracle then install ubuntu and done
I mean u need to set it up first then *
I don't even understand what you just said
Virtual Box is made by Oracle
and it has very similar functionality to VMWare Player
though I would say Virtual Box is a little bit more user friendly
staff why no one replied my query
firstly you didn't phrase it as a query just a small series of statements and secondly you didn't include some data like if the vpn troubleshooting script had any issues or what other issues you encountered
if you are a bit more detailed and the room doesn't flood too quickly with unrelated stuff I'm sure someone smart will take a look and see what's up
A few staff members stated that the required person has already been informed, and I did report it as well.
So they are trying to fix it ๐
pls help
you are unable to go to this page..?
https://public-firing-range.appspot.com/reflected/url/css_import?q=aa any idea about the payload?
sorry for wrong room. i couldnt find where can i ask this
you can ask in #infosec-general
thx
Thats what i said 
Any idea how I can solve this error Exception: Can't parse DEK-info in private key file? I'm trying to decrypt an RSA private key using ssh2john.py. I've posted the private key in a id_rsa but still can't run the script
Hello everyone. I am about to do a gatekeeper room. However i'm having some problems. When i need to use the command "!mona compare -f bytearray.bin -a 008519F0" i get a huge Error. Can u please help me? Cause I really cant solve this problem.
This is more suited for #room-help, I wish I could help you out more though ๐ฆ
Ok. Will post that problem there. Thanks!
Anytime bud ๐
What if I don't add my Full name
You cannot decrypt an RSA private key with ssh2john, you can convert it in a format that is suitable for john to crack. So first you take your id_rsa and convert to a suitable format with ssh2john.py. Then you use the output file in John
Then you can crack it with john using rockyou.txt or any other wordlist if specified
bruh, i showed you what happens when i click that link

Hi. I'm having a problem with my streak. Just after midnight (BST) today, I increased my streak to 130 days, but I've just logged on now (about 17:00 BST) and it's showing as 4 days. Can you help with this? Who's best to contact about it?
Thanks. I'll drop them an email. ๐

who do I email to get my username changed on THM?
Normally I'd just pester Muir but he's on DND
Also
my rank is still 0x1 but I'm 0x4 on THM 
i think I need my token unlinked
Hey give this a read

Have tried ๐ I think its from an old acc I used to have as the token is different
Jabba someone need your magic 
drop me a dm please with your site username and new username:)
all fixed to the magic of Jabba
@bronze vale don't know if you saw my updated DM but I reuploaded my VM again to fix a bug in the NIC assignment, newest one should be good but does need a little more RAM to make the web server zoom zoom
Switching VPN server, regenerating and waiting 2 mins worked for me ๐
This isn't really the right chat and it's hard to "diagnose" a hack.
I would suggest asking in general or infosec general
why????????????? i can ping the box without issues
now, all of a sudden i cannot ping it again
it ping now

ok thanks bro

myquestion is gobuster cannot be installed in tryhackme's online kali)
This is the symbol above Tab
wow
I have no idea why
I see thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @carmine kindle
I use VPN
Are you using the free AttackBox?
It should already be installed, try just typing gobuster
its not attackbox, its kali and and did not install
I would suggest using the AttackBox, Kali is no longer maintained by the TryHackMe team:)
kenobi is so laggy and slow
could i revert this to original?
what is original packet size?
Looks like you are having network issues
Oh, Windows machines don't always respond to pings
I was addressing the fact that Kenobi is "laggy and slow"
it is not a windows machine
And by the looks of it, your return time from google isn't the fastest.
it responds my pings when i am sshing
Isn't it? Wonder what machine I'm thinking of lmao
it's not the best, but it's good
please tag the messages you're replying
We don't have servers all over the place so average connection may be slow on our networks depending on your location:)
What do you mean by that? :)
i mean, working at THM
Got any sekrets
lmao, he said something about "we" like he was THM.
Yes I do work for TryHackMe
Oh, cool.
Hence my staff role :p
i just noticed. cool, man
i can leash out questions, lol.
why the hell can I not connect to Kenobi?๐
Can you send me a screenshot of your OpenVPN output log?
Okay
couple of screens
done
Then re-run your OpenVPN command to connect to the network: sudo openvpn file.ovpn
Now, try reconnecting to Kenobi
Have you tried ssh?
Send another screenshot of your OpenVPN output log, please ๐
It is so working..
Alright, that issue is solved
Well, I am not new I know when things don't tally
Can you terminate and re-deploy the machine? There's a chance it might be broken
FYI, here you had multiple instances of OpenVPN which was disrupting your connection ^^
can i connect with the previous ssh key
Yup:)

I would really like to know why you said I am running various openvpn instances
Multiple instances
You had tun2 which means you had multiple tunnels open
You should only ever have tun0
@bronze vale you are so correct, this was a previous ifconfig screenshot
Not a problem:)
it works now
Awesome sauce
This isn't my job, I'm just happy to help:)
ohhhhh okay
whatever it is, I love it, lol

@bronze vale have you had a chance to bump up the resources on Ignition?
This is a question better suited for #infosec-general
I'll answer it for you in there.

Hey, I am getting a 404 page when I try to download the hololive vpn file,
How may I fix this, please
I think there are a few suggestions in the pins above
you mean, in previous messages?
top right of the channel in discord they have pins for usually frequently asked questions or something funny, usually worth a look
yeah all good its not that obvious
Tried them, but still not able to download the hololive vpn file, other vpn files are getting downloaded but this,
oh I see, not sure then sorry. hopefully someone will come along who has done holo or looked into it more ๐
Hey, did u give a 2 min time gap After regenerating the vpn ??
yes, more than 10 mins actually
EU server works fine but not IN
I guess I'll just use EU then
Ok I guess the India server is having some trouble
yeah maybe
Same problem here buddy
Hey, CMN @zealous yoke
I also tried downloading the vpn file using IN-server... (Also after giving 3 - 4 mins ) it shows a 404 error code as mentioned above
Currently struggling to use any rooms that require metasploit, when I run them, the responses from the machine I'm attacking are showing up in the vpn log as bad packet ID's.
linux machine connections work fine its just windows exploits that cant seem to connect with
hi so i wanted to ask is using attack box to attack machines on try hack me a must or i can use my vbox kali too?(sorry i m a beginner)

Hi so I set up open vpn on my virtual box kali but it sems like my main windoes network settings has some problem and both kali and windows got disconnected from wifi and now I can't connect to a wifi ...I tried troubleshoot and it said the soultion is to reset network
So I did that.. is that fine or I messed up?
is internet working on your vm?
so you were able to connect using openvpn command?
but can't ping the room
let me see
..
I have understood your problem
you have connected too many times
I want you to run sudo killall openvpn
then close all your terminals, then connect to a vpn server again, and this time it should work
if you do everything correctly, it should work
moreover if your target machine is windows, it wouldn't respond to ping
no i think it had something to do with my windows network card..but its fine now i reset it and it worked
ok so now internet is working fine
yes
so no problems?
I signed up with an old discord account, which got lost. I am trying to verify with this new account and I can not. Any way someone can help?

Appreciate it!
Same problem here
Good morning, peeps.
I have another little problem today.
It wouldn't be too much. I promise.
I'm on vulniversity and why is it showing me just tow ports?
I used this command.
nmap -Pn <ip>
nmap -sV -Pn <ip>
I also tried nmap -sV -Pn -sS <ip>
but, when I input 2 as the answer it says wrong...
I brute to 6 and it says correct.
Is there something I am missing.
i would be glad if i could get some help, thanks
you can try -p- ? It looks like you are only scanning the first 1k ports instead of all, perhaps @carmine kindle
oh
thanks
Now, it is so helly slow
It has just been barely 1% completed since then
you can try a different kind of scan maybe ๐ all ports will take longer yes
hehe
I was scanning that IP address on the internet.๐คฆโโ๏ธ

I am getting 404 when trying to download the config file.. i regnerated the file and waited for 4-5min before downloading still same error.. can someone help me pls
Here are the things which you can do:
- Refresh the page and try again.
- If above doesn't work then do a hard refresh with CTRL + F5 and try again.
- If above doesn't work, logout then login again and try again.
- Switch the servers and wait for sometime and try again if above method doesn't work.
ok will try those.. thank you
Hi, in the room splunk 2, the data won't be load, so when you perform a search nothing appear. While when you check in the app the database in present. any idea ?
You should ask this question in either in #room-help or #room-hints . (:
Ok i will have a try
hello i tried switiching the server and it worked for EU servers. but for Indian sever its hsowing 404 everytime
I am facing the same pbm
You can download EU vpn pack file. It works fine.
I tried with EU regular 1
The tryhackme page says I'm connected
But the openvpn gui says connection failed
Ovpnagent: request error
Use openvpn from terminal, not gui.
Hey guys, the room uploadvulns is impossible to access for me, I tried to access it from WSL2, then attackbox, kali, and finally windows, always get the nginx error
What's the URL you try to open? Screenshots are helpful ๐
Seem to get a 404 when I try to install the OpenVPN software using the links to the package
What links? Could you post one of them?
Download your OpenVPN configuration pack.
Download the OpenVPN GUI application.
Using the windows installer on the TryHackMe site
trying to work around it by installing OpenVPN not using those links but no luck getting it working
So you mean the links in the openvpn room? /room/openvpn I just tried the download link for windows and it works just fine.
tried on the other pageshttps://tryhackme.com/access
E.tc. same result
So you are not having issues with the link to the windows OpenVPN software, but you are having issues with downloading the config file from THM? If so, then reselect the server, regenerate the file and wait 3 - 4 minutes before trying to download the file.
Lost my 130 day streak because of one day of inactivity , is there any way to get them back

How to make a website like cyberchef?
What do you mean by how?
CyberChef is completely open source, it's on github - https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef
uuum if you get this in the terimnal of the attack box trying to connect to the target machine what do you do: ```
root@ip-:~# ssh tryhackme@10.10.x.x
ssh: connect to host 10.10.x.x port 22: Connection refused
the ip:s have been senoserd a bit
oh wait it seems to have just not started fully yet

new question.... the attackbox instance in the browser don't seem to accept control key commands like ctrl + c or ctrl + x how can shadow fix it????
Well it does. But what do you expect to happen with ctrl + c?
to stop the command like with example exiting top
what it does instead is just send a single c in the terminal
I cant download the openvpn config. it keeps 404ing me when i try and download
any ideas on what could be the problem?
that is a good question as shadow also got a 404 for the openvpn config just now
have you tried changing the vpn server from the access page????
been trying to get a config downloaded for like 20 minutes. doesnt matter which link i use or how many times i regenerate it, just 404
as that worked for shadow now
Yeah, that worked
Weird that I tried all the US servers and couldnt connect, but it let me connect on EU servers
yeah that is weird but at least there is a working way to get around it ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
After regenerating, have you waited 3 - 4 mins before trying to download ?
@spice magnet did this work for you?
Are you talking about your own shell from the attackbox or a reverse shell you received on the attackbox ?
both
Well if you not upgraded your reverse shell then it is normal to just print a single c
doesnt matter any more as shadow moved to the openvpn setup instead
and that works flawlessly
also means shadow don't have to wait a day appart from the rooms for a new attackbox
@crystal marlin Followed your instructions for downloading the OpenVPN config file: switched servers, regenerated, and waited 4 min before trying to download.
Still got the 404
Probs a stupid question, but if i connected to the openvpn network and deployed a room, how do i acces its terminal/features without attackbox?
thought so but if it doesnt spepcify a user?
You can only do that if the target machine is giving you the option to either ssh or rdp into the machine. But many target machines are not supposed just to connect onto it
talking bout linux fundamentels 1 rn
the user shadow has seen so far is tryhackme
oh for that one
well dunno
or wait in that case connect to the vpn... then open your web browser of choice.... then type in the ip in the url field @wary oyster
ah nvm im stupid its tryhackme
should work
that didnt work for me but will try again
Also the linux fundamentals part room is made to start the target machine already in the browser in split screen
pasting the ip in my browser doesnt work
how do i do the split screen thingie
ah scroll up
got it
You just have to press "start machine" in task 3
yea free vpn not working for me either
i cant download my vpn conf file ๐ฆ
what error are you getting and for what server
404 i was told to look at the pins
basically re-gen, wait a few minutes then try again
i did
but still getting 404
i even logged out and back in and still
ill keep trying
should i keep regenerating the connection pack or should i wait?
@trim moat
what server, and have you tried a different server
try us west
you shouldn't be too slowed down, but you can try to switch back later
fyi EU-Regular-2 gives same 404, switched to EU-Regular-1 worked
VPN is not connecting for me either. Using US-West-Regular-1. It stopped working in the past 2 hours. Is anyone aware of a status page?
On the Access page it shows the server status is OK
this page is not always correct
is the Initialization Sequence failing to complete?

it seems im in vpn hell-house. redownloaded config...no good. stopped and restarted openvpn...no good it seems as though the vpn is ok but its like im blocked? any ideas?
this is killing my ability to work in the rooms/classes trying to finish owasp10
what do you mean when you say 'no good' - can you browse to 10.10.10.10? can did you run the VPN Script in the "pins" of this channel?
Have you tried a different VPN server?
@void veldt something is not good right now. My openvpn stopped working... I think tryhackme has an issue with certification servers.
is there an issue?
@zealous yoke Is there an issue with THM cert server? Happy Bday btw ๐
which server are you using
US-West-Regular-1. I tried moving to US-East but I get a 404 page when I try to download the regenerated ovpn profile.
the regenerated configuration file is not coming with the actual ca ... coming in blank

yeah, issue happened this Afternoon, I think. Alright. I will wait and try later, but now I don't know if it is my new regenerated config file or THM cert server
Thanks CMNatic it seems the final handshake on openvpn is not completing. I tried east and west reg, at this time westcoast I still cant get on.
what sys4nom4ly is exactly what I have, it doesnt complete after verifying, it gives me a 60 second time out and retries.
I think Ill just wait a few
compare the .ovpn file you regenerated and downloaded with your original one...
with me, it is not really regenerating the ca, so really an issue with the servers, most likely... wondering why nobody else is complaining about it... maybe free ones only?
the VIP server was working just fine, but it also has fewer users on iirc
Hi sys4, Im not saavy enough to know if those certs are equal. to me they look identical.
I noticed the size and then I cat both and compared... the <ca> session was empty ...
connect to the EU , change them in you access menu and it should be good for now...
So far I tried EU servers...failed. I doublechecked my wifi connections, obviously good since I can get online etc. I tried two different config files, neither of them seem to be the issue. Not sure what happened. I used a wifi adapter yesterday, worked great. I tried adding a vpn but I didnt finish an addition. Not sure if I did this (probably did) or because of my noobiness I broke it
linux windows or mac? if linux you can see the output of the openvpn via terminal
Send a screenshot of your OpenVPN output log^^
If youโre on Linux, run the OpenVPN command in your terminal, wait 5-10 minutes and screenshot the output.
If youโre on MacOS and youโre using the GUI, start the OpenVPN configuration by clicking on it, wait 5 minutes and then press โdebugโ, screenshot the end of it (try to get as much as you can in the screenshot)
This should be the same for Windows^
I'm getting this from https://tryhackme.com/room/polkit seen it in a couple of other rooms recently too. What am i doing wrong? I'm even on the vpn
hi sys4, running kali in a vm
The in-browser tools are trying to connect before the machine has started. Wait 10 minutes and press โreconnectโ, if not, youโll have to terminate a re-deploy a few times.
CMNatic has created a fix for it, just waiting for it to be pushed ๐

ok. Jabba will help you get thru... could be your openvpn package that you may need to update...

okey dokey, waited 20 minutes, i'll try a redeploy. I can finish the room without it i think though
Looks like it hasnโt connected, wait 5-10 minutes and see if any more output occurs :)
there is usually a little more after the verify ok, it skips a line then says connected
this server is really not working at the moment. 54.193.240.194
hi jabba, will do
Which server are you trying to connect to, mangoohack?
i tried west regular and west vip, I tried east vip and regular and EU to no avail.
Alright, let me check with the site team that the VPN servers are working:)
this is what I get after a minute
2021-08-23 16:20:49 TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)

no right here in the good ole usa
@bronze vale I think something is wrong with free US West and East servers. My vpn stopped working this afternoon and when I regenerated another ovpn config , the config came without the ca... moving to West, when I regenerated and tried to download, I got a 404 error in the THM page... it worked for me using EU free server.
Ive been at this for about 4 hrs now. Im going to bail. You guys were great, a 1000 thanks for trying to help me. I'll come back at it later tonight. Again, thanks sys4 and Jabba
sure, it will probably work later or tomorrow. have a good one @void veldt
On the right side of search bar, change "Last 24 Hours" to "All Time" via the dropdown menu and then search again. Good luck!
im also having the same issue as @void veldt for the first time of not being able to connect to opvn. Same TLS error, 404 when trying to use the eastcoast server, and the THM troubleshooting suggestions didnt work either.
I using the VIP server form US-WEST, and all works fine. I guess this issue is only in regular servers
I was finally able to connect using the suggestion of the EU server. Since during setup you are instructed to use the geographically closest server, curious what sort of impact will it have using the EU server?
Higher latency will be the biggest issue
send a message to hello@tryhackme.com requesting the restoration
are some openVPN servers still struggling? I'm getting 404 on generating US-east server, my US-west server won't connect (was fine yesterday), and a new US-west config file immediately fails with "embed TLS: cert certificate is undefined"
at the risk of sounding stupid....could we have been hacked?
oh just switched to EU, that worked for me
west and east just aren't being very cool it seems
I was having the same issue as well on US WEST, switched to VIP and it worked fine
so idk ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ

Hey!! I am trying to download my VPN file from the Access page it is showing 404 error
I amm unable to download the openvpn file
Here are the things which you can do:
- Refresh the page and try again.
- If above doesn't work then do a hard refresh with CTRL + F5 and try again.
- If above doesn't work, logout then login again and try again.
- Switch the servers and wait for sometime and try again if above method doesn't work.
Hi, I have been doing TryHackMe for a few weeks and i wanted to make a write-up on my website. Can i use the room-avatar image on my article or would that warrant copyright infringement?
It.... wouldn't be an issue, imo. (:
My openvpn connection isn't working with running "sudo openvpn Downloads/rokiikor.ovpn. Already tried downloading the ovpn file twice
Share your log output of openvpn please.
Are there any other openvpn connection running?
no
Still, try issue this command sudo killall openvpn to kill other connections even if there aren't any running.
same results
change vpn server in access page of tryhackme
Well you can try changing server and then wait for sometime before downloading the pack file.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but every time I run winPEAS I can only view the bottom portion of the output. I guess my terminal reaches a character limit or something? I can only scroll up so far. How would I go about fixing this?
that's probably more an #infosec-general query as it's not really about a room or a vpn issue
the smiplest fastest way to fix that would be to export your linpeas over to a text file i.e. linpeas.sh > linpeasoutput.txt and then read the text file with less linpeasoutput.txt once it finished
but there is a lot of other methods to fix your scrolling and also pipe it to tee you could look into, if you want to know more specifics and cant make sense of googling that, head over to #infosec-general and ask
How do i do this?
click access and change it on the dropdown menu, have to wait a few mins before downloading the config again though as it takes a bit of time to generate
(this will help isolate if the problem is the vpn server or not)
It won't let me download a different config file
I can only download from US-west regular
Hi Yuma, yea i've try this as well but still nothing happen
really? that's super strange :/
but a few people earlier today were having trouble on the US VPN's so it might be an issue with your ISP/routing or something so trying another could help, if you could select it ๐
Not sure what is going on. I'll try waiting some more time and see what happens.
ok good luck @naive dust hopefully it starts working as intended again soon
Thank you!! ๐

Hello, im trying to access the linux machine on my browser but i cant seem to access it, i'm even connected to their network throught openvpn.
Have you spin up the attackbox?
not able to download configuration file
getting error 404
Here are the things which you can do:
- Refresh the page and try again.
- If above doesn't work then do a hard refresh with CTRL + F5 and try again.
- If above doesn't work, logout then login again and try again.
- Switch the servers and wait for sometime and try again if above method doesn't work.
Why do you want that?
To help me hide .exe payloads in a better format
And what will you do with it?
@stray cove Look again please, xd.
Sure but this is not the forum for that
Ok thanks
Hi mates I'm trying to connect via openvpn but I get this error message. I don't recognize device kinthk.ovpn as a tun or tap device
can someone help me out
Your syntax might be off?
What command you are using?
sudo openvpn kinthk.ovpn
Are you running this command from where your pack file is located?
yes in the directory where i downloaded the config file to
Dunno what does this error is, but maybe it got corrupted while downloading. You can delete this before, download another one or maybe switch servers and then wait for 3+ minutes.
Try using ./kinthk.ovpn
This question should be asked in #infosec-general (:
Ohhh thank you lol, I'll do that ๐
nothing helps. Idk
Was looking forward to test this site. but the competiors vpn scripts just work ๐ฆ
Hey, I've been given a subscription voucher but I already have a subscription.
If I cancel my account does it expire straight away or only when it reaches the renewal date? (8th September)
Hey, I have the following problem: I completed the pre-security pathway, but cannot download the certificate. Is there a solution for it?
I'm about 90% sure it will not cancel you current sub, it will just not renew it on the renewal date. But like I said, not a 100% sure ๐
Is there an error? :)
you are right that it gives you until the expiry date but I then can't add my voucher code ๐
how do I link my discord to my THM?
Hello everyone! I was trying the content-security policy room and was able to fetch objects to a server controlled by me. However this does not have the flag, which it was supposed to have. I used a web kali interface provided by premium, could that be an issue
nvm this already got it thanks!
still getting error
Which VPN server?
Press regenerate, wait 2 minutes, re-download:)
Ye, you just have to wait until it expires then you can use the voucher code.
re: hey uh can someone help me setup openvpn? for some reason everytime I try to install the config file from the access page on thm it throws me a 404 ;-;
hi , anyone can help me , before this it okay can connect but 1-2 day have same problem this.
Reselect or select a different server, regenerate the file, wait 3+ minutes before trying to download.
If that doesn't help log out of your account and log back in and try the same stuff again.
on it
what's the problem? Looks fine to me
well i've gone through the whole cycle the second time around now, I don't think its me
im not very knowledgeable but i can try my best to help, remind me, where are you stuck again?
tried to download on both my vm and host os, still shows a 404; tried with an alt account, still shows a 404. pretty sure its the site, theres nothing on my end that i havent tried already
well here ill see if i can download my config
im trying to get the configuration file for openvpn, not able to download it
mhm
so it doesnt look like i had any trouble. are you able to download other things on your browser?
sorry for the trouble, I am, yes
!vpnscript
Maybe this will help
ive gone through that resource already ๐
nop
HEY
i got the file
eu servers still direct me to a 404, us west let me download it
Well congrats ๐๐
I see
https://www.ovpn.com/en/configurations i believe this is the openvpn website, you could try downloading a config file from here for US west and see if it gives you the same issue just to narrow it down
unless theres a major speed diff when using other regions, ill take it
oh nevermind awesome
I dont think there are any
but whats the problem tho, why does it do that :/
Idk. Many people face this issue.
Maybe some server issue
thanks for the help, really appreciate it!!
mhm, well now we know another way to get around it i guess? ๐
i shouldve tried this earlier mann, wasted so much time
Yeah
sorry i couldnt be more help!
oh no, i didnt expect a community like this to be so welcoming to newer learners but yall took the effort to try and help me so โค๏ธ
have you tried switching regions
Which VPN server is this? :)
every one except us west
Hmm, interesting.
well, i havent tried vip servers cause i dont have a subscription
Right click, press "inspect element", then press "console" are there any errors?
@zealous yoke Are you working today? :)
one error in the console
do tell do tell
uncaught syntaxerror: redeclaration of const dayNamesShort
Yeah, that's nothing.
yeah i figured
have you tried regenerating your file?
yep i have
Let me see if I can get a hold of someone from the site team, it seems to be affecting a few users.
Sorry for the inconvenience:)
yea us west regular 1 was the only one working for me too

Thank you, just going to talk to them now:) for now, all I can suggest is that you use the AttackBox.
I will let you both know if they update me:)
alright thank you!
yes please thank youu
Free US East seems to be working now. I didn't get the 404 when downloading the ovpn file. Also the config file is complete. US West not ok atm.
I'm stuck in a verify loop when connecting to the vpn too

Can you both refresh your pages and verify the US servers are working correct, please? :)
@bronze vale is it possible to fix it for me as well? I am getting 404 on eu servers

Can anyone Help?
When I press "Download My Configuration File come a 404 Error page
@pine iris this
some issue with their site atm
is anyone having an issue with the terminal staying open and not finishing when putting in the file path? For the Openvpn
Are you getting "Initialization Sequence Completed" at the end of the terminal?
Yes but it is not going back too root/home
It is just up and running in the terminal
Good. You are connected to THM vpn. Now, you can open up another terminal and start working there.
I just got this message Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed
What command you are using?
sudo openvpn and file path to my config
Close the connection with CTRL + C and then try to connect again..
Awesome, happy hacking ((:
how long do i have to wait after opening congif file in terminal
What?
I finally got back on last night 9pm pst I did 3 things to get connected 1. regen config file 2 download new config file 3 changed path to include new openvpn config file
- ran the openvpn with new config 5. got a initilization success 6. turned OFF my norton vpn c7. changed to EU VIP 2 server BINGO i GOT ON last night and today
does anyone know about it
I DONT understand why I needed to do all this since my vpn has worked flawlessly since I downloaded it the first time a month ago. But, who cares, I am able to continue with my kali desktop in the rooms/classes. thanks again to Sys4nom0ly and jabba for the help.
Can I get the education discount if i create an account with a regular email before changing it to a .edu email
@wide oasis thats a warning, not an error:)
You can, drop me an email: support@tryhackme.com
I thought it was an error. Thanks for letting me know. (:
Gave +1 Rep to @bronze vale
what is the warning saying an is it still running the vpn if left open in the terminal? @bronze vale
I'm not sure I understand your question ๐
You said that was not an error but a warning, What does the warning mean if not a error. Also after getting the Warning am I still connected to the VPN
I don't know how to better word it
If you are getting this message, then you are connected to vpn. Jabba was letting me know that it was just a warning and not error, meaning it can occur if openvpn couldn't connect properly (if I am not wrong, or maybe).
Okay yes I get that then after that about 10 to 15 mins later I get the warning. So I am assuming the warning is letting me know I am no longer connected right?
This won't happen while you are connected in the midst.. but warning can appear if there if it couldn't connect to it properly.
the problem is I have got the warning after the initialization Sequence complete
@bronze vale if i change my email of my account will my subscription canceled?
No:)
Maybe this can also happen as I am not super sure about it. I think this had happened with me as well. But if you can still ping the deployed machines, you are good to go.
@bronze vale my institution is late on giving edu mail. Can i get student discount on my regular email?
Anyone else have trouble trying to setup immunity debugger with mona? Been trying to figure this out for 2 days with no success, going to use a lifeline lol. Thanks in advance for any help, much appreciated! Im working on buffer overflow in the brainstorm room. The only way ive learned to do this is with immunity and mona which was provied in a preconfigured machine in the last room. This brainstorm room does not provide a preconfigured machine so i tried installing immunity on my vm kali and windows 10 laptop with no success . Ive googled and tried everything i can think of and cant get mona working with immunity debugger on either system. i keep getting errors when trying to use mona commands. Any ideas?
@bronze vale I emailed!!!

what's the turnaround time usually been for a new room from submission to publish? trying to plan for when my room will be released so I can be around to assist players
I never usually have an issue but I can't connect to the US-West VPN
I tried to regenerate the .ovpn file and it's not connecting
2021-08-24 13:53:22 Cannot load inline certificate file
2021-08-24 13:53:22 Exiting due to fatal error
Regenerate, wait 2 minutes, re-download
ok
I regenerated, waited 10 mins and still the same error ๐ฆ
Should I wait longer?
Try switching the server to something like EU and then try. And switch back to US west. If you scroll up a couple people had this issue today
When I do this, I connect to the EU server just fine but when I try to connect back to west it's the same issue =[
Depends on the testing backlog and the testers. Ask a mod to be added to the creator's room. I would guess at least several weeks, but I could be wrong.
Must be something up with the west server... It's the only one I can't connect to. I'll just use east for now
us-west-1?
Yes
Use us-east-1 for now. I'll forward the issue.
Ok
Good Day All,
I am having issue with my Comptia Pentest+ lab , Task 6 ( Networking Tools) of Introductory Networking. Somehow my " man traceroute " command is not working ( Please see below screenshot). The error which i am getting is "No manual entry for traceroute". I have tried to install traceroute in my linux box but it failed.
I would be apprecate if somebody will check and guide me accordingly.
Should be fixed now. Could you please try again and see if it works?
Dear All, Also i have noticed that i am not able to install modules like Traceroute and Whois. Highly appreciate if somebody will help me out.
Same error but it seems like it's not on the server side. Like the regenerated profile has a configuration issue that doesn't allow it to even attempt to connect
You have to verify in order to be able to upload an image. ๐
!docs verify
!docs verify
The link provided has the instructions to verify your account.
Is the ovpn file 0 bytes?
No... BUT, I do see that it's only 3KB and the other VPN servers (EU, and US-EAST) are 9KB
Okay, I'll forward the info again.
Alright sounds good
Having trouble. I am connected via OpenVPN, THM shows I am connected, the troubleshooter from Github is saying all is good. However I cannot run an nmap scan against any boxes. I can scan external sites, just not anything on THM. Any ideas?
@tawdry orbit
I had the same issue earlier today. Did you try another server for your .ovpn file?
Yeah other servers work
Rootme box I am able to scan, brainstorm I cannot. I know I have scanned brainstorm before... BLAHHHHH
@bronze vale any chance you got some time for a noob? Not sure whats goin on
Whatโs up?
Im unable to use an nmap scan for any THM boxes. Ive done it in the past (less than a week ago) Only thing that has changed was an update && upgrade on my kali distro. Using kex with windows 10
can scan external sites tho
rootme box said host up ports filtered, brainstorm says all ports are closed. google.com I get a proper scan
brainstorm I did -sS
Can you send me a screenshot of your OpenVPN output log?
var/log/openvpn ?
You can send it here:)
Still having the same issue when I run sudo apt openvpn Downloads/rokiikor.ovpn
Keeps stopping at Verify"
I had that issue too... I went to regenerate the ovpn profile and now I get a different error
Only on US-West though
The other's work fine
I already regenerated a different config file and still the same error
Hmm, that's interesting that it's only on US-West
Just cant use nmap on any boxes ๐
I wonder if it's just with Kali so i'm installing Ubuntu
West, and west vip both gave me errors earlier
It's not just with kali
@bronze vale Did you get the file?
type killall openvpn in another terminal then re-run your openvpn script
Same thing
I verified the service was killed, and made sure THM said I was disconnected
I dont get it, Ive done t his a bajillion times ๐ฆ lol
My West ovpn file is only 3KB and the others are 9KB
has anyone else gotten a 404 page when trying to download the ovpn file?
I got Explorer.Exe Class not Registered, anyone got a solution?
Already ran killall openvpn and re ran the script only to get the same results
i've been getting that error for awhile now as well
Lol scroll up that's been here a lot today
Hello, seem to be stuck in OWASP top 10 room.
Task26 doesnt seem to be playing well for me.
you were right to ask in #room-help but you might just need to be patient to see if someone can help you, maybe work on something else in the meantime
Thank you, yeah the page on port 80 doesnt seem to be loading for me
nmap, shows its there, I try curl and nothing.
I wanted to know if I will be refunded the money when I cancel the tryhackme subscription
If you have an ongoing subscription, pressing cancel will stop the next month's payment and you'll still have access to the VIP features until the date it expires (which is your next billing date)
I'm really sorry to hear you want a refund. Email support@tryhackme.com with the following details
Email used to pay:
Last 4 digits of card:
Amount paid:```
If you don't hear back within 24 hours send another email and the team will get back to you as soon as possible.
Hope this helps.
Anyone still having the same problem?
TYSM for the help
I think people still were on us-west and us-west vip, so most moved VPN server to another
Thank you ! It worked when I switched over to the EU-Server

glad to hear it roki! back to hackin

Hello, I can't access vpn configuration webpage + i can't verify my acc, i still got a 404 in both cases
Have you followed the process of verification? If not, then you can verify following the link below.
!docs verify
I've just verified it now, same issue
Try to logout and login again and see if it works.
It still doesn't work, my profile says I'm from Romania when I'm from France, maybe it's related?
You are having issues with loading the webpage tryhackme.com/access or you are having issues with downloading the config file?
my timezone is france now but still not working
Give the webpage a hard refresh with CTRL + F5
i have 404 not found when i click on https://tryhackme.com/vpn/get-config
i am in same page as on yt but we dont have same thing
not working ๐ข
What server you have selected?
If you need help to room related stuff I would suggest to use #room-help . But to clear your question, the linux fund rooms got updated, so probably that's why you see something different.
EU-Regular-2
i switch server and it works, thanks guys
the thing is i see less
the guy on yt has full pic and i have only one small part
Not sure what exactly you mean. If you verify you would be able to send screenshots, it's then easier to help you.
!docs verify
mind if i send you here ss?
Sure you are allowed in this discord to send screenshots, it's even appreciated to do so as it's easier to help then
Well he is just demonstrating and he probably is on his own machine to do so. So it doesn't matter if it's looking differently then the picture in the room, it's just a different amount of files in this folder. But the files you should look for are just the ones he also highlighted on his machine and are also present in the picture of the room.
Are any THM team online to discuss a billing issue? I'd send an email, but apparently it's been sorted two months in a row and it's still not sorted
how can I access all of my machines through kali linux machine?
Your own machine or THM machine?
I don't know, I just started a machine on one of the TryHackMe rooms and I want to access it through kali linux machine
Did you start the kali linux machine from https://tryhackme.com/my-machine
So, on the room task, it should tell you how to access the machine.
no, it doesn't, it just says deploy the machine
Can you drop the room link, please? ๐
this one
So
The first three tasks are theory. Read the information and answer the questions.
The questions are there just to check your understanding.
Then, task 4 is where you will use the machine.
To access the room's website, just take the IP Address and paste it into the kali machine's browser.
After that, you try to use what you have learned, along with help from some of the information, to craft payloads and eventually hack the machine ๐
You mean this is the machine?
do I need any other knowledge for this? I am quite new to THM and hacking
I would recommend the pre-security path and beginners path if you're new to hacking
I meant specifically for this room
Honestly, you said you're new to TryHackMe and hacking.
I didn't really do any XXS payloads until I was familiar with how TryHackMe works.
All that room requires you to do is pretty much read the information and answer some questions:)
If that's all you wanna do, then pretty much that's all you need to know.
But if you're planning on using the platform more, I would 100% recommend doing at least pre-security.
Especially because those payloads require you to understand Linux in order to exploit a machine.

any advice on netcat being deaf in a kali VM ?
Any admin online?
Whatโs up?
is it possible to reset a specific room I did in the past? I want to remember and redo it again
Press options (in the top right of the room) -> reset progress
Thank you very much!
What you mean with deaf, please give some more details if you are having issues with something.
I completed the Vulnversity task through the tryhackme integrated browser machine but when i try to do it in VM kali, netcat wonโt pick up anything from the .phtml file i uploaded - itโs stuck on listening but canโt hear anything iโm guessing itโs an issue caused by the VM or the ovpn file since i managed to successfully run the reverse shell in browser
But when i check the 10.10.10.10 i can see i entered the right IPs
Where is your VPN running? On your windows host or directly in the VM?
Its running in the kali VM
Make sure you are using your tun0 IP as listening IP. So not eth0 or anything like that. tun0
Yes thatโs what I did but it still wonโt work
Mh
But it does work on the website tho
Let me try it on my own machine. Meanwhile you could verify yourself on the discord in order to be able to send screenshots.
!docs verify
Maybe you have to get a new config file then
I'll try it !
Okay thanks, i think i saw people having similar problems on reddit too
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin
Okay nvm i fixed it by rebooting the machine and reinstalling the VM thanks for the help! Very cool of you @crystal marlin
@crystal marlin It worked thank you !
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin
Oh alright, I was just going to say to send me some screenshots as it was working flawless on my VM, but glad it works now ๐
Yeah i think i might have screwed somthing up in the VM setup, iโll be more cautious next time ๐
What issue? ๐
wait let me attach a screenshot
Any idea why I cant nmap any thm boxes when using openvpn? Worked fine for the last year, now it pooped out on me
Send a screenshot of your OpenVPN output log?
I did that yesterday, dude said to turn it off and on again ๐ lmfao One moment lemme grab it again
@bronze vale can I pm it to you this time please, I dont wanna drop my IP in here
You can scribble it out if you want
You can purchase with debit card, but if you want to use PayPal, you need to contact them/ your bank.
This is usually due to some settings on your account. I'm not too sure which though.
openvpn
is there any way I can pay someone and they send me a voucher
@bronze vale sent
Can you screenshot what happens with nmap and send it here please
On the brainstorm box, but have tried in other rooms as well.
The only thing different is I did an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade last night.
@bronze vale
did it work without "-Pn" before you did updates
yes
What if you run it against 127.0.0.1
Can you still open 10.10.10.10 in your browser?
