For now, I'm going to ask for you not to suggest that^^
Only because if there's a bug that's stopping users from subscribing, it would be better that they email so the issue could be solved for everyone (especially users not in the Discord).
Okay, I saw several reported it in #site-bugs already. You want me to remove my posts?
Please
Dear THM tech support, I created a private room on THM and uploaded a VM. When I connect the VM, the IP being assigned to is not accessible. Neither through the VPN nor the Attack machine - browser. I configured it with bridged Network before saving it to ova and upload. Did I do something wrong? I have sent an email as well with screenshots. Need some help please.
vpn connected but still not showing
Showing what? You might want to be a bit more detailed if you are seeking help for something.
Would someone be able to help me with the Steel Mountain room? I think it is bugged
OK, totally n00b question, but I can either spend another hour trying to figure it out myself, or embarrass myself and ask here, so I'll just ask here lol. I'm trying to use TryHackMe for the first time and I've only ever used HackTheBox. Is anyone available to help me with a quick connection/VPN question?
Another scammer.
okay for real whats the fastests way to do nmap scan of all open ports for enumeration
whatever i googled was still slow
nmap -sT -T4 -p- -oA savescanfilename -vv ip @plush swallow
i.e what you are most likely missing is the -T flag
with how agressive you want your scan to be to make it faster
problem here is you risk dropped packages and therefor missing ports
@plush swallow ⬆️
thanks a bunch
its gonna scan for about 22 mins lmao
you could try -T5
Oh yea
but at that rate you might miss some ports
still if you just wanna save time you can start there and if you don't find anything lower the timing flag to a slower speed for more accuracy
i see, thanks a bunch
also your goal with the first scan is just finding all the open ports.... after you have done that you should do some more scanning of the open ports for what version of services and stuff they run
Sure. Just always ask the question you have straight out, if anyone has an answer to it and is willing to help he will reply.
Thank you so much. I think I have since figured it out, but if not, I'll ask here. I appreciate you responding, @crystal marlin .

Alright, not a problem. 🙂

Guys Clyde is being a dick! Wont verify me.. I want my cool h4x0r rank to show 😐
Think it has something to do with changing to my student email
I switched it in here as well, he still wont verify me
@crystal marlin I have verified my account - can you point me to the right room to ask this query or the right person who could help on this ?
test
Well unfortunately I don't know how to help you with that matter as I never created any rooms, so if you already sent and email you might be best with waiting for THM to reply.
iam using thm attackbox ,, i need to download file from on my kali vm i tried python3 -m http.server 8001 then when i use wget Connecting to 10.10.16.204:8001... failed: Connection refused.
getting 404 error when I'm trying to download open vpn
same issue, changed to my respective region and I can't get my config file
I’ve tried changing severs, waiting, regenerating, logging out etc
@rocky comet What seems to be the issue?
Ok! What are you trying to connect with?
Sure. One sec.
I've called you on Discord. Feel free to join.
Resolved! Thank you for your patience @rocky comet!
Gave +1 Rep to @rocky comet
Nnnnooooo bro. Thank you for your patience. If I need anymore help I’ll be looking for you
Gave +1 Rep to @opal bane
rustscan is fast, you can use it instead of nmap
Don't rely on the status of the connection on the website. It's more reliable to just open 10.10.10.10 in the browser of the machine where you are connected via openvpn to make sure you are successfully connected to the THM network.
Good morning.
I just started TryHackMe and am on the very first lesson. However I dont see (or understand) the objective for completion. Are we just supposed to start up Empire and Starkiller?
Which room/lesson title?
the very first one
Learning Cyber Security
Get a short introduction to a few of the security topics you'll be learning about.
can you please send the link?
E: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/r/runc/runc_1.0.0~rc93+ds1-5_amd64.deb 404 Not Found
E: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/c/containerd/containerd_1.4.4~ds1-2_amd64.deb 404 Not Found
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
what does this mean
every time i try to install something this shows up
I dont think so, it mostly just reading through the material
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
update and upgrade the os first
Oddly I cant post a screenshot here, but my task remains at 67% completed for that module.
I'll skip ahead and email the support, it feels like something was changed recently or something, because there's really no clear explanation of what we're supposed to do
!docs verify
follow the link above
ah you have not answer all of the questions
hahahaha, ok, i see. The box said no answer needed but I still have to click completed
thank you again.
Hello. I just purchased the premium subscription but my account doesn’t reflect it. How long does thm system takes to sync
@hollow otter
lets move this to #room-help or #room-hints since I see you have vpn running
I am trying to download the configuration file but its showing this error
try this
i am seeing white screen when i start the attack box anyone knows the reason??
Wait a few minutes, if it's not showing up after a few minutes you might have to restart the machine.
i reboot it about 3 time in a row but the problem stills persists
Did you always wait a few minutes first?
i wait about 10 minutes
Well maybe try to do a ctrl + F5 if you are on firefox, chrome or edge to see if that helps. Other then that it usually gets solved itself after a little bit of time.
Hello folks! Just wanted to let you guys know that I had a question asking for a number of something and I gave the right answer as a string, "one", and it marked it wrong, but it expected an integer and when "1" it worked. It might be useful to either make a note in the question saying "enter a digit from 1 to x" or accept both answer?
Other than that, having a lot of fun learning 🙂
i tried ctrl+f5 with no success any other hints?
Well maybe try to log out and back in, but other then that I guess you just have to give it a bit time.
Hi everyone... if I take the yearly subscription but I only need it for 1-2 months
when I cancel the tryhackme subscription, it'll just take the 2-month worth and refund the rest, right?!
please help....i'm JUST about to order it
As in, what does 'Cancel Anytime Subscription' mean?
Why not monthly subscribe for just 2 months ?
That would make no sense at all. So you saying you want the cheaper price because of the annual subscription but want back the money for 10 - 11 months ^^?
yeah I'm just getting monthly rn
because idk if I'll be able to continue it on a regular basic
sir idk some companies do have a model like this
like express vpn
anyway
I mean maybe THM will do that, you might have to send them an email with that question. But in my opinion that would make no sense to do that.
yeah
actually I was kinda confused because college doesn't give me a lot of time for hacking
i loged out and relogin but the problem still persists any other ideas?
Unfortunately I don't.
hello, is there a way to change the certificate name to my full name as oppose to my username?
Hello, can someone clarify the timing for calculating streaks? I logged in early Saturday to keep it going and it worked, then logged in normal time Sunday and it said I was on a 1 day streak :(
Send a mail to support, maybe they can give back your streaks. If they are on good day (:
Have you entered the full name in your profile now? If yes, try to generate it again. In case it doesn't print your name then I think you can only get your full name on any upcoming certificates. #site-support message
@naive dust I had the same problem. From what I can tell only the new certs will have your updated name on them. Some of mine have my nickname instead of full name.
I've followed all the given troubleshooting steps for downloading my openvpn config file and it just isn't workin
are there any other methods/resources to get it going
Did you also try changing to a server that doesn't match your region meanwhile? And I assume you always regnerated and wait 2-3+ min before trying to download?
yes, I tried one of the europe servers while i need us-east
while allowing well over 5 ish minutes for it to generate
I'll give it a second shot 🤷♂️
Well, maybe you have to try a few different server that doesn't match your region and just come back to the server you want on a later point.
Hey...i just got on thm last night and subscribed just an hour ago...for some reason the openvpn config files are going to 404 page
i downloaded the eu2 but i cannot connect
Try Different servers mate, also happy hacking. Subscription will help you so much
You may also want to connect your THM account with your discord account, to do that. you can read the document below
I'm using gobuster to find directories and its giving me this error. Does anyone have any clue?
Maybe suggest another tools that can be used to do the same
is the wordlist okay? kinda look sus to me
you can use dirb, dirbuster or feroxbuster as alternates
also there is a program called nikto that could probably help if you need something else
might have spelled the program name wrong... only used it once in the past
its correct
My bad, found what I did wrong. Thank you!
Gave +1 Rep to @finite aurora
Glad to know! GL
could you tell us what you did to fix the problem???
IDK how I got this, but this was the wordlist. XD
Did you used curl to download it?
wget, yes
wget shouldn't have did that. But yeah happens sometimes
You have to use the raw link of the file on github, otherwise wget will download the html elements too, like in the wordlist you got there.
How to verify my account ??
!docs verify
Not sure if I verified my account correctly...wrote !verify in the bot chat but accidentally hit enter before I entered my token...tried to enter my token in the on the chat thread and then attempted to re due the verification as described in the documentation...not sure if any of that worked. Please advice
you should send that !verify token message in a dm to the @sharp bison bot or nothing will happen... make sure to not place any spaces except between verify and the token
replace token in the above with your token from the website
if that does not work we should probably contact the moderators for further help
Okay, thanks for the reply!
hope you get it working soon'
Good Afternoon!
I'm having vpn issues using my vm. This has been intermitant, and I'm not sure what's happening. It's worked in the past few days and I've been taking snapshots, but now not matter which one I revert too the connection doesn't work.
I haven't changed anything about either system (host or vm).
Did you try changing server, regenerating the config file and using the new config file?
Ayy, I did not! I'll give it a shot
So my VM won't actually reach outside at all
oh noes that is a bad
Check your bridge or NAT configuration for the VM🙂
Interesting, so so that seems to have worked, changing from a bridge to a NAT event thought my host computer is going through an adapter.
Any thoughts on why this could be happening? @keen scroll
im in the Vulnversity room and the http is not port 3333
when i go to port 80 i get an error code 405
when i do a long operator nmap...it never completes
How do you know it's not on port 3333? Have you finished the nmap scan yet?
i did a quick port scan
and its on port 80 and 8000 is http-alt
and when i go a gobuster...the connection refuses port 3333
Are you sure you are using the correct IP? So the IP of the target machine and not the IP of the attackbox?
Hello!
How can I change the time zone and flag?
Thank you
Thank you so much!
I just lost my streak because of that... I just changed my country ...
In case you didn't know, but you could send them an email to ask about getting your streak restored.
`Hey Support!
I am looking for a streak reset.
My streak was 50 before it ended (I think).
I am looking forward to reading your response!`
Thank you! I will try ...
Hello! I want to do the CTF Crocc Crew and I would like to do it with OpenVPN from my Kali Linux but when I try to connect from my VM I get an error saying "Inline certificate is invalid". I have tried several times to change servers and also regenerate my openvpn configuration but I get nothing. Any ideas?
So you always downloaded the newly generated config and also used that newly downloaded config?
Yes!
Well, maybe try a server that's not even matching your region, to see if that will help. Also you could try to run that script.
!vpnscript
Also, after regenerating the config file, make sure to wait 2-3+ mins before downloading it.
I already did this.
ok, I´ll check il, thank you!!!
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin
I have to say that the error comes out when I run this script. I made a post on the TryHackMe subreddit and put a photo (I don't know why I can't send the photo here)... Forgive me, I'm frustrated and nervous xD
You have to verify first in order to be able to send screenshots.
!docs verify
so If i go to europe 2 i can download a config file but it gives me the error that the inline cert is invalid. I can't get other regions to download. the openvpn troubleshooting script did jack but tell me to download a new config file which funnily enough I cannot do
It´s weird! Right?
yeah lmao and the support email just directed me to the same steps which don't remedy the issue
it's really frustrating
thank you!!!
lmao i didn't do anything broski don't thank me
I just want to get my stuff working
well, I think I´m going to do it from the browser... let me know if u have any solution
Lost my streak even though I answered questions and had activity.
Can anyone tell me which time new rooms will released in tryhackme
I don't understand these very well
There must be some missing configuration for the bridged mode, you need to modify some routing stuff
For NAT, the VM manager does it for you🙂
those terms refer to how your virtual machine connects to the internet. If you go into your virtual machine settings and look for "network adapter" you should see those words popping up as different options.
The docs page for the thm api is returning a 404. https://thm-community.github.io/api-docs Does thm accept PR's?
!docs help
I have some problem when try to connect VPN, the ovpn file was missing <cert>. Can I do something to fix that?
Could you send a screenshot, as for me it's not pretty clear what you mean?
You will have to verify first in order to be able to send screenshots
!docs verify
When download the ovpn from this, there are no <cert> in the file, so I can connect to VPN
So you tried to sudo openvpn username.ovpn and it gave you an error ?
Or you just checked the file before trying it and you assume that it will not going to work?
Yes, here the error
Have you tried to regenerate the config file on the THM access page? If not, try that, but wait 2-3+ mins before trying to download it after you regenerated it.
I do try, but it still the same
Then maybe try to change server and redo the steps I explained above.
oh, it work, Thanks
I'm just sharing there's a scammer
hi there ,is there any problem with the upload vulnerabilities room even though i add the the hosts the connection times out thanks.
@graceful garden if you haven’t seen it already^
I think Meggy already 'Sparta'd' them out of the server
is it possible to download file from the attack box to my windows vm ?
i will try
It depends on the room/lesson you are doing. Not all machines are supposed to ssh into.
But I shd be sshing into it and I can’t
I can do it in my kali but I’m not at home so I can’t
Do I have to use openvpn in the attack box?
Which room? And vpn is not needed for attackbox since attackbox is already in the same network as other room machines.
Hi ! is it possible to change our Username ?
@jovial steppe Not as yet but its in the pipeline for later apparently. https://tryhackme.com/forum/thread/5e3853871248064d8ab0e484
Ok thx @thin seal 🙂 !
Gave +1 Rep to @thin seal
No, there is no need for openvpn while in the attackbox. Please share the link of the room and the command you used to ssh into the machine.
You can email to support, support@tryhackme.com
Yea nice thanks @modest sonnet !
Gave +1 Rep to @modest sonnet
Yea no problem, happy hacking
thx
greetings to all.
please could someone explain me why we manage to upload the VPN file?
to access a machine we need a vpn which requires a certain configuration of file to download on the site, if I understood correctly.
https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn
except that the file to download does not exist.
@naive dust 2 things wrong there: No random links, and offering to pay = Nope.
You are able to download it from Access page, and you connect it with openvpn tool. That room is for teaching how to do it. And yes, you got it right
i cant attach image
Yes. Cos you need to verify with the server
So im a premium member
!docs Verify
paying for a service that dont work and u ban me
!docs verify
yes but except that there is a link to access the access page. I am looking to download the configuration file in wine.
thx
Gave +1 Rep to @arctic pike
why in wine?
I work with google deepl.com.
the translation is still not perfect.
I mean I can't download the configuration file
If you are getting a 404 when trying to download the file, try this: #site-support message
You can try to change location of your server, and dont spam it much. Or it will be broken
@naive dustSorry for the confusion - You weren't Banned. I simply deleted your message as there was a suspicious looking link and an implication of payment in your post. By all means post your question again. If you would like to post a screenshot, please verify with the server instead of putting a sus-looking shortcode down
@graceful garden We're good. Mailed support, thx.
Ok. I read your message in the logs, and yes - Your query is more for the Site team, which is an email
Also please bear in mind that a lot of THM content is community created, THM doesn't have an obligation to fix that
(Idk what content it is)
@graceful garden Thx
Gave +1 Rep to @graceful garden
@naive dust May I ask what issue you are facing? Most of the time it's just an user error.
I don't have a server. I'm new. I work on linux. and I'd like to find a way to do the work locally
I don't have a server. I'm new. I work on linux. and I'd like to find a way to do the work locally
I meant the location of your VPN
Okay and there is no issue with you doing the rooms locally from your own linux machine. Check out that room on how to set up openvpn on different OS: https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn
And if you face issues with the config file to download, that can happen. Just try to switch server, regenerate the config file and wait 2-3+ mins before trying to download it.
@crystal marlin Hi, If you can take a look at the image above from Mamamouse you see that I have entered the right commands(?) I'm hooked up to the box (ping with response) but the response from my terminal don't really match up with what is asked in the box tutorial.
Can you open 10.10.10.10 in the browser of your machine?
ok thanks. I will look into this method.
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin
Right, then I highly assume you are simply just using the wrong IP. The IP you entered for doing these tasks, where did you get that from? From somewhere like that:
Or from the top of the website?
@crystal marlin Ok got it. This is why things randomly have worked for me. The IP at the top changes when "Start AttackBox" is pressed so I usually went for that one instead of just hit the green "Start Machine" But that is not the target machine then. What have I been scanning?
Thanks
The IP on top of the page is your own IP within the THM network (So the attackbox IP, or in your case the IP of your own machine connected to THM via openvpn). The attackbox is for people who don't want/can to use their own machine, it's a kali linux which you can use directly inside your browser. So just to keep in mind: green button "Start machine" = the target machine. blue button "Start attackbox" = the web based attackbox to attack target machines with.
does tryhackme automatically takes money for next month ? today i just got a message from tryhackme
If your subscription is active, then you will be charged automatically, yes.
but i want to take annual subscription
what can i do now ?
Then you have to cancel your active subscription, wait until it expires and then choose the annual plan within your next subscription.
will the money be refunded after i cancel my active subscription
Ok, thank you and sorry for the hassle!
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin
No, your subscription will be active until the date you have paid for. So let's say you subscribed today on 28.09 and you cancel tomorrow, you will be able to have all benefits until 28.10 but it will not get automatically renewed on 28.10 . About refunds I don't know, you might have to send an email to support@tryhackme.com talking about that with them.
Hi there, Im curious, how come i couldnt access into John The Ripper even though its installed already?
can you try /usr/sbin/john -h
Wow this is great dude! Thanks man!
Gave +1 Rep to @modest sonnet
Now im able to run John The Ripper normally i guess?
It's exactly because of the $PATH variable then
you need to add /usr/sbin
sec, ill give you a command
Which means for example
• /usr/sbin/john --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt
No, you will be able to use it normally
Now run this command first: nano ~/.bashrc then you will see some commands, head to bottom and add this command export PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH then CTRL + X, then type Y. thats all, now you will be able to run john with just basically typing john
Just click enter
Thanks man, I'm trying to. Also happy hacking (:
Gave +1 Rep to @next totem

Not sure if this is the right channel for this- I'm running enum4linux for a room and keep seeing a whole bunch of these errors... is this normal? It's not impeding anything, just makes it difficult to visually parse

@dawn mirage Having the same problem right now. Still currently trying to get a non-empty file.
Hi, i just subbed a few days ago and im using the attackbox but it is super laggy and slow. Is there anything i can do to fix that?
Hello, I set up openvpn to get started but even though tryhackme says I have access I cant actually access to the box. When I try to access the box through a browser I just get site unavailable (this is the setup test box so I believe there is a flag on the page to confirm it works). I ran the script on the github and it sent me here. Any help is appreciated, if you need clarification let me know
can you access http://10.10.10.10 ?
I cannot
I tried accessing it from the attack box and that worked but I cant get it from my system
sudo john will also work
he is on root already
Try changing locations, it should help
it worked for me even i was on root
Sounds good
interesting
see this
i don't think it's a good way to use, it is still giving a message.
Created directory: /root/.john
I switched my region and now I am getting an error saying I need to define tun/tap (also thank you for you help)
for the 2nd time its not giving this msg Created directory: /root/.john
There's a troubleshoot script for tryhackme. you should try it then
Oh, you did.
What was the output tho?
it got up to testing connection then just said error go to discord
not verbatim but you get the idea
Yeah, i don't have any idea this time
All good I will come back to it in the morning, thank you for trying
morning!!!!???

hello. im currently trying to complete network services but having trouble getting into the terminal. can someone help me out
Include more details, network services 1? Are you on the attackbox or your own machine? What are you trying? What's the error? etc.
Hello, there appears to be an issue with the US East VPN Server. It does not generate a complete ovpn file.
What you mean by "a complete file" ?
Hi all. Hope you can help. I am trying to connect as a paid subsriber to holo or wreath networks
I have a new machine and used to be able to download the openVPN config files of each network but now the list says there are no networks. Is there a general problem or is it me?
I just checked and I was able to download the VPN config files. That's strange.
After a certain amount of time you will be "kicked out" of the room (although not losing the progress, at least for wreath I know so), so that's why the networks are not listed on the access page anymore. You just have to rejoin the network room and the option to download the config file will be back.
I keep getting this error message when I try to connect to the vpn. I've been connecting fine forever and now all of a sudden I get this. Any ideas as to what I need to do? I don't really understand the error.
It's the general vpn, US East
Have you already tried to regenerate your config file, wait 2-3+ mins before downloading and then download it?
Maybe try regenerating your VPN access file.
I just checked that error and one user from another CTF platform faced the same problem. The suggested solution was to regenerate the VPN file.
I have tried a new config file twice with no luck but I haven't waited longer than the 15 seconds or so it takes to generate before I download it
Then give it a few minutes definitely.
Ye, wait a bit longer, otherwise change server, regenerate, wait 2-3+ minutes, download.
Btw there are also VIP server for subscriber, so you might consider trying these in case you haven't already
I'll try these suggestions and let you know how it goes
Something seems to be going on with the East vpn, I got a config file for the VIP and it worked right away. Thanks @crystal marlin and @green gull for the help.

You tagged him and said a keyword for robocop to engage 😄
Alrighty I just wanted you both to get credit for helping me out
The VPN Server US-East-Regular-1 seems to be generating corrupt .ovpn files (A new config files was regenerated)
Switched to US-West-Regular-1 and it generates them correctly. The East one had nothing inside the <cert></cert> tags.
I think for cases like that Horshark, now named Horsie 😄 is the one to speak to, so you might tag him, at least I was reading that for empty config files he is the one to tag for, but don't pinpoint me on that as I'm not sure if it's fine to tag him for that too. I saw that issue with the empty cert field on another user recently too.
anybody good in nfs server ?

Well for example just open the browser and go to a website ^^
have you checked the OpenVPN room ?
yes i downloaded openvpn and my configuration file. and i ran the command in my terminal. this is where i am
Hi, I got an issue here. I can not connect to tryhackme OpenVPN but I can connect to others OpenVPN. any issue on tryhackme OpenVPN now? I'm using AU server
On the same machine you downloaded the openvpn file, right? Just want to make sure you can access the internet on your machine. Are you from a country where they block vpn's in general?
no I am in Niger and vpn is not blocked here.
I have access to the internet from my machine. however the quality is still very poor
Have you tried to regenerate your config file ?
yes I tried it but still can not connect
Also did you try to switch vpn server?
yes I tried it too
my friend can connect using my openvpn
Okay, well then you might try to regenerate your vpn config or switch server to see if that helps
Was it already working once?
yes last two days the openvpn worked
only tryhackme openvpn can not connect
Can you send a screenshot of the openvpn output when you try to connect?
can I pm you the screenshot or send here?
No just send it here pls, maybe someone else sees it and knows what's wrong.
try to regenerate ur vpn configf file
currently I used AU server
Mh, same issue like with the other user. Maybe there is an issue in general.
alright let me search it there. thanks

Hello, I resubscribed and would like to update my status on Discord
How do I do that
"!verify" says I already have that token on this account
pls halp 😂
You may request a mod kindly to remove your token from an account.
what happens if you don't?
Nothing happens if he doesn't update his status/verifies, it's just about being verified on discord, being able to send screenshots and having your lvl displayed.
If you need any help, you can DM me in anytime without thinking. I am Turkish as well, i understood that you are a Turkish from your name.
Hello All, I am hoping someone can assist. I have searched this forum and found some results, but none are seeming to have the same problem that I am getting. I have having an issue setting up the openvpn config on my Parrot instance. I keep getting the following, and my friend Google, has not been much help. "Cipher negotiation is disabled since neither P2MP client nor server mode is enabled
Options error: You must define TUN/TAP device (--dev)" I also found that If I cat the config file, it is blank? I have done multiple restarts, and config reload, downloads with the same result. Any ideas?
Thank you!
Have you tried switching VPN server? If you do so, make sure to press regenerate and wait 2-3+ mins before trying to download the config file.
Hey :) I just got a certificate and wanted to print it, but didn't have my name filled on the site, now my cert has my username. >.< I was told to make a post here, that someone might be able to help me out?
Hello @crystal marlin yes, I started on the US East, had this issue like 8 times, then switched to the US West to see if it would work with the same issues. I just switched back to US East again, clicked regenerate, it said successful, and gave a 10 second countdown. I will wait a few minutes, then download and try again.
As far as I know, if you already generated your cert, you will not be able to change that. All you can do now is to add your full name in your profile so it will be printed in your upcoming certs.
That post is a few months ago, not sure if they changed it already, but I assume it's still the same: #site-support message
Right, wait a few minutes, about 2-3+ should be fine, not just the short timer.
That really sucks
Well, what to say, not sure what the policy is on having multiple THM accounts, but if it really means that much to you to have it with your full name, you could create a new account, add your full name to the profile and just copy the answers from the old account into the new account. But like I said, no clue about the policy regarding that, so you might want to check first if it's okay to do so.
@crystal marlin nope, same issue. I did a cat on the file with nothing, so I opened it in Nano and it shows 0 lines? Is that normal?
So you downloaded the config for the new server, or you just switched to a different server and then back to the initial server where you faced that issue and tried to download the config for that one?
@crystal marlin I switched back to the initial server that had the same issue. I will check with a completely different server.
@crystal marlin I changed to the EU Regular 1, regenerated and waited 4 minutes. Downloaded, same result. Opened with Nano again, and it shows 0 lines?
Which VPN servers are giving you empty file? @marble furnace
Hello @bronze vale US East, US West, and EU Regular 1.
As you are here already, is it still a thing to ping/tag horshark in case someone gets that empty file issue? I think I once was reading about that, but can't find that post anymore.
Ping me:)
Alright
Im having the same problem as you
@languid nymph Well, at least I dont feel alone. :o) I did this for about 2 hours last night, and figured I would try again today.
Before I downloaded the file and had no problems using the VPN, now I get the following error:
i cant attach images xd
Before it worked perfectly, I think it is a specific problem of the server
May you detail it?

Did you try tryhackme's openvpn troubleshoot script? If you did and it still happens, then you should change your location again. Sometimes people are being unlucky about that so keep changing it. Happy Hacking (:
Where can I find the script?
@crystal marlin any other ideas on how I should proceed?
That only works if the user is connected:)
Are you in a country that blocks OpenVPN?
Oh my bad

Well, I think for the empty file issue like that it's nothing you can solve on your own, but thats just an assumption. But as Jabba is aware of it, you might get a solution from him, just wait a little bit.
@crystal marlin Perfect. Thank you for your assistance, I appreciate it. I will wait and see what happens.
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin
I've reported it, if you've having the inline certificate issue, you need to wait for the VPN servers to be sorted out:)
Until then, all I can suggest is you use the AttackBox:)
Thank you for your assistance. One follow up, how will I know when this is corrected, or should I just try at a few different intervals?
Usually I would be notified, then I would notify you, if you don't hear anything back within the next two hours, try again.
I stop working @ 10pm, and then I turn of Discord so I won't get any messages after that.
Sounds great. Thanks again!
Every time I do “ sudo apt install python3-pip” it doesn’t install and it says “ apt —fix-broken install “ when I do that and try to install pip3 it doesn’t work
Does anyone know how I can fix this and install pip3?
Can I have my name changed on the THM website to match (as much as possible) my name on Discord? I'm trying to find a spot on the site to put in a support request for this.

Hi guys, I am trying to use a new VM I just setup and cannot connect to the THM VPN. I ran the troubleshooting script and it says my tun0 interface does not exist?
Already tried regenerating a new config file, never had this issue before. This is a new kali VM I setup on VMware I didn't expect to run into any issues with VPN
what timezone is used to calculate the streak?
Hello so I am getting some intermittent connection issues to the box. Any known issues going on?
guys what can i do with a message id
I was having this issue last night and when I used a new region it seemed to sort itself out
Was just getting blank VPN config files from the US-East-Regular-1 server even after attempting regeneration. Getting valid files from others no problems.
i need urgent help im getting charged from an account that I deleted on thm
Im supposed to pay them on the 30th but payments from the old deleted account are still coming through on the 14th
what do i do?
hey everyone, im having an issue with the openvpn, I can conect no problem and can reach all the machines BUT when im connected to the vpn i cant reach any other sites ie google, exploit-db, pornhub github ect. I can ping 8.8.8.8 though so im a little lost
No u
how can you reach to all machine if you have not connected to thm openvpn?
I didn't change the Username. How can I solve it.
I can connect to the vpn, the problem is when i am connected to the THM network, it is the only thing i can reach
Disregard, somehow one of the network adapters on the VM in oracle was disabled.
so, im currently working in the metasploit intro room and cant access msconsole from the attackbox (not kali linux). do i have to ssh in first and if so thats my main problem cause i dont know the password to get in it. can anyone help me
I would suggest to verify first in order to be able to send screenshots. Then send a screen of what you are doing and what the output is.
!docs verify
No, you don't have to ssh into the machine
Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with ovpn. I ran the script on github for troubleshooting and it told me to come here and ask questions
same here
Problem solved! I restarted the whole VM I was working in. Turns out I hadn't reset everything and cleaned it out in like 5 months xd
ok. thanks for the clarification
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin
What's that file supposed to be?
Also, no, you don't need a subscription to use our services.
@scenic estuary
great then. this is my configuration file spyderniger.ovpn
Alr, I'm removing the file.
Don't send your configuration to anyone:)
What's the issue exactly?
seems there are some problems with VIP EU1 server, changed to VIP EU2, this worked for me.
help please
Don't send your configuration to anyone:)
What's the issue exactly?
@inland beacon Can you run the VPN file with sudo openvpn file.ovpn and send the output here please?
ok
ok. i can't connect with openvpn
I'm not 100% sure why you just sent me what I said to you:)
sorry, just a mistake
@bronze vale this happens and keeps repeating
Can you wait 2-5 minutes and see if there's anymore output please, if there is send it here:)
may i send the output as text because it wouldn't fit in 1 screenshot
ok thanks. but for the record I'm on it since yesterday
Gave +1 Rep to @bronze vale
That wasn't towards you:p
ok
this is the output after about 3 minutes
Are you in a country that blocks OpenVPN? @inland beacon
yesterday my connection was fine, and the day before it. this problem started today
Which VPN server?
EU VIP1
Can you try VIP2, please:)
ok
Ye, I had the same issue yesterday with EU VIP1, switching to VIP2 solved it.
it works fine now. thanks
Something seems to be wrong with the US-East-Regular-1 VPN server.
I was unable to connect to it so I regenerated the config file and it isn't including the cert details.
@deep trellis ^
Hey - whats your THM username?
My username is “Adam.”
@bronze vale I'm getting Initialization completed but can't get to connect to the target machine, the interface is up and working, tried with multiple VPNs, but still, the same problem Ping giving me nothing, 100% of packets are just going lost. Its been happening since yesterday.
Send a screenshot of your OpenVPN output log:)
Why did you try to kill the service here?
Why would you need to reinstall OpenVPN? :)
Head to a new terminal window and type curl 10.10.10.10/whoami, what IP address do you get back?
What machine do you have deployed?
Overpass 3
Have you actually tried to enumerate the machine or only ping it? :)
Try again now
Did also try with -p-

Hello! I'm in the first step with my first machine and i'm blocked
Starkiller and Empire doesn't want to connect
Are you on the attackbox or on your own machine?
attackbox
And what exactly you mean by being blocked out?
i have to connect empire with starkiller
and the connect return an error
"Error Logging In: Unable to connect to server." but i try for the 20 time lol
Oh okay, I thought you have some issues with connecting to the target machine. Unfortunately I have not done that room, so I don't know how to solve it. You might want to look for a writeup to see if you did everything correctly, other then that maybe someone else can help you. There are 2 writeups linked in that room.
Heyy, i have a question that i can't seem to find on the forums.
Is it normal for your default profile pic to change?
It changed automaticly to what seems another default profile pic. Was just wondering?
hey, im not sure but i guess the room steelmountain is buggy / doesnt work anymore.. im stucking in the chapter privilege escalation where i have to download the powerup file and execute it, but i cant execute it.. i took a look at many walkthroughs etc. and its working for every writeup.. but they are also bit older
@fossil schooner At your service.
There are different variations of PowerUp. I just did it a couple of weeks ago with the one linked. Any screenshots would help whoever can helo understand the problem better.
i also did it with the linked one and also tried to exploit it via the . .\PowerUp.ps1 command
I'm not sure as I never use defaults but I doubt anything malicious is going on. Try using one of your own and see what happens.
Like I said, I can't troubleshoot if I can't see your screen. It might've been a different issue. But it's best to restart the machine and try again. That worked for people with similar issues.
already tried this also.. i can send you a screenshot.. moment
sitting on it now since 3 days.. so it "rebooted" also
Use the command Invoke-AllChecks once
Yeah. You're pretty much missing that.
. .\ Makes it executable.
Invoke-AllChecks runs the script.
oh ok
will try it out later.. i thought help would take time a bit so i skipped the path ^^
Tyyyy
I have tried to connect with openvpn until nothing. I have run the thm-troubleshoot script and followed the instructions without success. after research i think the problem comes from the fact that my PC and server time is not synchronized. i have manually set my PC to the local time (NIGER) without success. the problem still persists Can someone tell me how to make sure that the time on my PC is synchronized with the time on the server?
Thanks in advance

I just bought access to the throwback network, but when I go to download the openvpn file, it's showing that I dont have access to any networks. Any ideas?
I have tried several vpn server configurations and I keep getting this:
I do not have this issue with HTB connection
I can't connect to the openvpn
so is there a current issue with all of the VPN servers?
I'm able to connect though the US-West-VIP server. Im wondering if some work is being done on the site.
glad i could help!
Good Morning all, I am having the same issue. My OpenVPN is connected, on the US West server. When I try to open the page in Firefox in defaults HTTPS even with HTTPS everywhere disabled. It will not open the page. I did an NMAP -T4 against the target and here is what I get. nmap -T4 10.10.210.89
Starting Nmap 7.91 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2021-09-30 10:42 EDT
Nmap scan report for 10.10.210.89
Host is up (0.21s latency).

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 12.37 seconds
it doesnt look like http 80 is open on your target, which would explain why an http page wouldnt open. but it does look like 3128 http is open. try navigating to your target's web page specifying port 3128
Thank you. You are correct. I am new, and have just completed the launching Open VPN and noticed I had to open that task as HTTP. I am working on Vulnversity and is just directs to connect to the machine. Maybe I did something incorrect?
Gave +1 Rep to @stone gust
@marble furnace On the Vulnversity machine, try connecting with port 3333.
Perfect. That worked. Thank you. Can you advise if I missed something, or how would I have known to connect to that port? The instructions just mention to connect to the machine, and if you are unsure refer to the Openvpn room, but it also does not mention that port anywhere?
Gave +1 Rep to @stone gust
You wouldnt have missed anything. I dont really like that room for beginners. Without prior knowledge, you wouldnt have known that 3333 was the right port. However, in the top right, you'll see "Help" There is a video walkthrough and some writeups for the room. Those should help!
Great. Thank you so much for your assistance! I was sitting here feeling dumb for a minute. Haha.
Glad i could help! Enjoy ~

I was just doing the crack the hash room
Using the hashid command to see all the possible hashing algos and then trying each one out one by one doesn't seem to be the right way.
Is there another tool?
also, putting the whole hash on google just felt like cheating to me..
jumbo john might be able to crack it by autodetecting what type of hash it is
dunno if hashcat has something similar but would guess the answer to that is a probably
john wasn't able to guess a few hash-types
Hey guys, I’m currently in the Burp Suite room and my VM isn’t working at all. I opened up Firefox to go to the target IP and it can’t even load the page. Same thing when trying to grab the task files when opening a new tab to load tryhackme.com. Am I doing something wrong?
did you disable foxy proxy?
I haven’t disabled Foxy Proxy. When I use Attack Box, the connection is so poor that I can’t even load any web page. When I use the Web-based Kali Machine, it’s the same issue. Both times it just shows the load icon moving back and forth but never shows up
Reset the site, clear cookies. See if that works.
My VM's system time is "incorrect" but I've never had an issue with openvpn. If you've set it to your timezone then generating a new configuration file is best. Earlier today, I was having issues with the European ones but switched to the Indian one and it worked no problem.
That may be because Burp Suite is intercepting your web requests and like IC said, foxy proxy isn't disable.
Try find that hash by bee perhaps.
Try regenerating and changing servers. I had the same issue earlier on and eventually I found a working server.
hey, what's that? can you share links please?
quick question, are we not allowed to change usernames on THM?

Hey folks, getting this error trying to connect thru openvpn. Went through trying to update a few times, regenerated a couple times. Also, I attempted using the fix for openvpn on github, it says I don't have openvpn installed even though I do. Any advice?
Try with sudo openvpn.
Same output :/
Ummm ... Does the file contain a certificate? https://www.reddit.com/r/tryhackme/comments/gg8hbm/open_vpn_cert_cant_read_inline/
Yea.. I do see one. I'll pop an email over to support, seems like thats the next step. Appreciate the help!
Anyone know why i wouldn't be able to connect to THM via openvpn with the same cert and command as 2 days ago?
I was getting a TLS handshake failed error, so I switched regions, switched back, then regenerated keys and now i'm getting ```2021-09-30 21:26:30 Cipher negotiation is disabled since neither P2MP client nor server mode is enabled

I did, the only thing I found was this repository called 'Name-that-hash' by someone who's username goes like 'bee...'
is that it?
So, when I checked the contents of my .ovpn files, they've been empty. Changed regions and I re-downloaded.
It's just fine. I'm connected

Also, if you have not subscription. There isn't public ip for attackbox
Could someone please restore my streak?
Hey Guys, I'm new to THM and was wondering if I could get some help. I have a Kali Linux in Virtual box running on the host which is Windows 10 laptop. I have installed openVPN on the Kali and downloaded the configuration file from THM and ran it. I got the Synchronization complete message and I confirmed the tun0 interface after running ifconfig. I then proceeded to the access page of THM and all is connected and well there. After that I went to the openVPN room, deployed the machine and visited the web page and got the connection successful flag. However I issue is, if it is even an issue and that when I open Firefox in Kali and google "whats my ip" it's showing the same public IP as my host machine.
Is this normal if so than all is good, if not is there a way I can fix this, I just want to be sure I am securely connected to THM through openVPN before proceeding with the lessons. Thank you in advance?
If you can see the tun0 interface and you can ping the machines you should be good to go
All the traffic that's not towards the THM network will get routed through your normal connection. So that's totally normal, yes.
I faced the same problem yesterday. Choose a different server, then regenerate the VPN config.
Awesome, thanks 3J0SKA and Fontaene, that brings me more confidence. I just wanted to make sure the connection was secure to THM. I can now look forward to diving in, once again thanks for your help 🙂

Gave +1 Rep to @torn lodge
Try curl 10.10.10.10/whoami. If it return an IP in 10.x.x.x, you are good to go
Ok
Don't focus if it shows that you are connected or not, first just select a server which is nearest to your location, regenerate the file and download it. To Check whether it successfully connected just try to ping a machine, don't focus on the access page to see it, it isn't always right. Hope it helps
Also vulnversity web is on different port, so you might get an error when accessing it on your browser
I tried pinging it..
Regenerated twice...didn't work
I had to change regions and regenerate to get my .ovpn config to populate any data
Unfortunately I can't change regions
The only one which works for me is IN-Regular-1
I'll get really bad latency if I use usa/eu servers
so, I just fired up and connected
Ok
are you familiar with cidr notation?
ok, translate the cidr notation to find your host.
mine is connected to a /17, so my host is 10.x.0.0
Ok I'll try that
ping the host
Can you ping 10.10.10.10?
ok, I'm not super familiar with thm's network. I can ping 10.10.10.10, but not my gateway
they probably have it set to drop pings
Nope
@rustic lodge Is this method work?
Nope
have you tried rebooting your vm?
Hello, IT? Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
Also off topic, when I try pinging google, the reply says '64 bytes from maa03s45-in-f14.1e100.net (142.250.196.46)'
Just want to make sure, you do the command on the terminal, right? Not on your browser?
Iirc, its a known issues where your vpn IP not shown on THM website
Of course 😂
Ok
Well I guess the problem cud be that in my vm network, the ips are 10.10.10.x
@hollow otter it's asking for the path to my config..is that the vpn file?
it is
Ok
also, cat out your config file if you've recently re-downloaded it

Can someone help resolve this? mysql -u root -p (When prompted I entered 'mysql337570'

Hello,
When I generate a VIP OVPN file, a certificate is not generated and added to file. So I cannot make a connection to the VIP VPN. I am a paid subscriber.

Why is a certificate not generated when I request a VIP access file, but it is generated when I request a regular file?
I tried EU-VIP-1 and EU-VIP-2, I (re-)generated the access file as well multiple times. All to no avail. I am a subscriber. 😦
hey, can i ask a question on the tryhackme website here ?
how can i reset a whole path ? i know that i can reset a room, but do i need to reset all the room one by one ?
Perhaps you need to verify your account first
!docs verify
Hello! This is my absolute first time on Discord and am confused about how to ask people to help, try to start convos, etc. I'm actually doing THM's 'Blue" and stuck, so that's my specific issue
If you would like to talk to the community, you can go in #general
Or if you want to discuss your problem or need any form of help regarding a room go in #room-help
Welcome to the community
hey guys, i wrote in the wrong channel prob so i am going to copy my message here
So i made this mistake... I subscribed with the wrong card on my Tryhackme account
How can i change my credit card info on the account?
Thanks in advance
you would need to email support and explain
Won't cancelling current subscription and then subscribing again with the correct card work?
The current subscription upon cancellation should last upto the 1st if next month🤔
It wont unfortunately, it just puts you back on the subscription with the same card information
I'm having issues with the european vpn servers
they return an issue about inline certificate files
when running with openvpn
switching to another server like india fixes it, but the connection is bad (for me, because of the distance)
I've tried regenerating and downloading multiple times
US servers work as well
looks like it's an issue with my european ovpn files
It is. Mine have been acting up for three days now.
so, @fossil schooner Tell me, What steps have you taken?
i am using the terminal
Ok.
What command are you running?
ok
ok, and the filename is the same name as your THM username?
yea
Cool. Then what does the terminal do?
keeps running somelines
it runs for a bit and then states initilaztion complete
Ok. Whats the last line?
and just does that forever
then you just leave it running like that forever until you send a ctrl + C to it
So.. What does the last line say?
1 sec
Ok, Take your time 🙂
ty
The easiest way to do it is sudo openvpn Documents/openvpn/note.ovpn (If thats where the file is located) a lot less faff!
Hmmm.
i am on kali linux
Ok, So it might be worth deleteing the ovpn file you have. Then go onto THMsite, hover over your profile pic, and on the menu that appears click 'Access'
i just did that now
On the right, Change your server location, and click 'Regenerate' and WAIT 2 MINS. Like, it's super important that you wait a full 120 seconds
ok
Perhaps use this time to meditate, or get a glass of water?
ok XD
It's important to remain hydrated
The usual fix for the challenge you are facing is to try different servers
Thats more of a #room-help question there, sno 🙂
u know HTB
i also have the same problem
idk why
I've used it a coupole of times, but coulndt get on with it
is my vm the problem
Might be an odd question Note, but what country are you in?
is it important for like the fix
Well, folk from Egypt usually have trouble connecting to OpenVPN because of some national firewall
Ahhh.
damn bro
idk why our country makes it so hard for people to learn something
if i used vpn would the problem be fixed
@sinful sierra is from there, And Might be able to offer some guidance
dm him ?
Noo... I tagged him
Just to pre-face that - on this Server, we won't help you bypass government restrictions. I know XAR (The chap I tagged) has had some luck, but I don't wanna ask how.
ok. thank you and apologies
Gave +1 Rep to @graceful garden
ok
hi
Sorry to tag you, but you're my fave Egyptian 😄
you too my friend
so what is the problem
the openvpn
One of your countrymen having trouble with OpenVPN
If this is a non-THM thing... Then.. y'know... 🙂
so Can i talk with him vc to try 3 things
up to you two 🙂 If you're gonna be non-english, just jump into a study room 🙂
i am fine with that
Have I made a joke about using the Pyramids as antennae?
Every time I try and download the ovpn file i get an error
a 404?
yeah
I thought maybe this was firefox but it did the same with safari
I turned of the tracking protection in firefox to see if this helped but to no avali
avail
Try changing the location
And be sure you're waiting 2 minutes
to make it regenerate
need help in understanding "basic authorization header file", and how to post a custom basic auth with a custom passphrase
how do I do that ?
yep just figured it out where the page was. I will give this a try
I'd previously had my openvpn config working fine, and I keep getting inline certificate errors now if I try to connect. regenerating didn't fix it, any tips?
That happened to me. Try changing to a different server, then regenerate your VPN file!
Steel Moutain is bugged ?
with msfconsole and the exploit for task Exploit completed, but no session was created. After set RHOSTS and RPORT
didn't work for me earlier but ig giving it another shot can't hurt
question...was trying the ms17-010 via vpn and failed every time....even changed lhost and lport to no avail
though on the attackbox it won
what website are we using for burp suite class in the complete beginners course
I'm a bit late ig but a refresh should do the trick
hey, im facing issues downloading my vpn file
while click on download file, im getting a 404 error
trying switching and regenerate but still having the same error
after uploading one ova file I am unable to upload any other ova file ... even resetupload is not working
Hey guys i have some problem with connecting to the labs. I connected to the vpn then i can ping the Private IP but i cannt access the web page.
Does anyone have any solutions?
Does it have something to do with my proxy ?
changing the server did help me but not for long. the page works then can't access if after a couple of minutes
Hi, is anyone having problems connecting to the VIP VPN servers? (EU)
same here
They were giving me trouble last night
Even EU regular was failing
USW seems to be working, so may offer an acceptable fallback
There's a bit of extra latency though
Thanks! Just opted for EU regular 2 though
