[cyan crescent]

I posted a question in the #intros channel, I think I probably should have posted it in here;

I am having issues with the website, I pulled my question and emailed in to find the correct support; but I'll ask in here anyways;

I was in the middle of the introduction to Linux machines, and after starting the machines it refused to allow me to type in the password. I do have screenshots

If it offended anyone that I posted that there, I wish someone would tell me rather than just leave

I am admin and mod in a few servers, and I am not familiar with this site yet

I would appreciate any help I can get

[lament trout]

please share the screenshots here

[cyan crescent]

Oh cool, thank you

These are the instructions

And this was the first part

And this was the third

And this was the final before I realized it wasn't going to let me do s*t

That is the set of screenshots

[lament trout]

this screen you see right here, it shows that you have successfully ssh'ed into the machine

[lament trout]

you dont need to do this now, you're already in

[cyan crescent]

Where it says that permission denied please try again?

It actually told me the process was ended

So am I totally misunderstanding the screenshots?

[lament trout]

here you can see tryhackme@linux2:~$
this shows that you are inside the machine and now the commands you give will go to that ssh'ed machine

[cyan crescent]

Then I completely misunderstood it telling me that access was denied

[lament trout]

you tried to ssh again after successfully ssh-ing once, hence the error

[cyan crescent]

Okay, well, my time ran out on it and I'll have to try it again tomorrow

Ah, okay, thank you!!!

[opaque sparrow]

do either the attackbox or kali vm have a remote desktop app on them by default?

[thorn dirge]

hey guys, Bruteit is stalling when i try to download RSA_ID, any idea why? 99.9% sure it aint me and its a server issue?

[grim needle]

I always run into little problems when not using the Browser Based Attack Box. =[ My VMware is having trouble mounting a share from the Network Services 2 - NFS Room. =[ Did everything multiple times. Tried once in the browser and worked...I can't just move on with things like this I need to know WHYYY. So, I googled some stuff. Ran into a possible fix for my VM network settings; change NAT to Bridged? didn't work.

[crystal marlin]

Are you successfully connected to the THM VPN on your VM ?

[grim needle]

I believe so.

[thorn dirge]

100% as i am on the page and my VPN connect is live

[crystal marlin]

Can you open 10.10.10.10 in your VMs browser?

[grim needle]

Let me load up my hyper-visor.

[crystal marlin]

Well I have not done that room, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Are you using a virtual machine or an installed operating system?

[thorn dirge]

VM

i have been using Try hack me for few years

just wondered if one of the instances has an issue

[crystal marlin]

Okay, and if you check ifconfig you only have tun0 and not any extra like tun1, tun2 etc?

[thorn dirge]

yea 10.10.10.10 is working and i have tun0

like normal

[crystal marlin]

Ye like I said I have not done that room, so I'm not quite sure if the issue is on the machines side or yours. But you might want to try sudo ifconfig tun0 mtu 1200 and then try to download that file again. In case it's not solving your issue just put it back to 1500

[thorn dirge]

already tried changing the mtu down

[crystal marlin]

Oh okay

[thorn dirge]

had that issue previously

[crystal marlin]

Well I might do that room today, so I can let you know if it was working for me then.

[thorn dirge]

just did a lil tweak.... on mtu front change it to 800 and it worked.....normally not had to go that low

👍

[pale stag]

Hi guys can someone help me with burp please?

when I use the burp proxy, it doesn't load the pages and is just stuck loading, then when i turn it off it works

but that means i cant use burp suite

[grim needle]

forgot my user and passwd. 😅

[crystal marlin]

And openvpn is running directly inside your VM and not on your host machine?

[grim needle]

[lament trout]

@pale stag have you setup foxyproxy?

[pale stag]

yeah

[crystal marlin]

So that means it's running on your host machine?

[grim needle]

Yes sir. 🥲

[crystal marlin]

Okay, then change that first. It has to running directly inside your VM and only inside your VM.

[lament trout]

@pale stag can you share a screenshot of the config inside foxyproxy?

@pale stag correct, what port are you using in that proxy setting?

[pale stag]

it doesn't say anything other than what Ive showed you

[pale stag]

wait when i go to edit it says 8080

[grim needle]

Well, I know that my host OVPN is off and I still have connectivity. Can't quickly figure out where OVPN is on my VB...

[lament trout]

right, if you go in burp > proxy > options > proxy listeners, it is listening at 127.0.0.1:8080 right?

[crystal marlin]

You can enter sudo killall openvpn in your VM

[pale stag]

yeah I just checked

[lament trout]

hmm

and is your intercept on?

[pale stag]

btw im trying to open a link on localhost

yeah

damn vulnerable wep app

[lament trout]

everything seems fine then..

[pale stag]

i think when i use other websites like google it opens the link but not in localhost

[lament trout]

maybe that's a thing, I'm not sure about that

[pale stag]

basically when I use the burp proxy it cant open localhost but it can open google

or its just taking extremely long to load

but its stuck on loading

[grim needle]

Okay. realizing now that this cmd is turning ovpn on and off. I just need to open another terminal window to execute more cmd's.

@crystal marlin Thank you for you help. Sorry I didn't think about that. Still wrapping my head around VM actually...Testing main issue now.

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin

[crystal marlin]

Uhm, I don't think that's disconnecting openvpn, it's most likely creating another connection.

[crystal marlin]

So make sure by checking ifconfig that there is only tun0 and not any extra like tun1, tun2 etc. while being connected to the VPN.

[lament trout]

Hi
I'm having trouble running nmap scans from my attack box. The scans seem to take forever to end. The command im using is nmap -T4 -p- -A 10.10.x.x. Ive tried changing the T flag but no difference. Any help will be appreciated

[grim needle]

@crystal marlin I was able t mount the share! Thank you!

[lament trout]

@uneven sparrow use -v flag to see what's going on

[pale stag]

thank you, so I have to configure the proxy to port 6666?

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @lament trout

[crystal marlin]

You better start off with using -sS for the initial scan rather then -A. Also adding -v will let you see progress.

[lament trout]

@pale stag probably, and maybe turn network.proxy.allow_hijacking_localhost to true

[cobalt kiln]

hey I recently started on tryhackme, do I have to configure something inside the attacker box? is it supposed to have no internet connection? because even browsing the spawned machines in 10.10.X.X takes forever to load because it tries to reach fontawesome. Also is there a way to enable copy&paste?

[lean valve]

hello, I am glad to be here, I joined from the tryhackme website where I am stuck on something for a while

[naive dust]

Are you connected to the OpenVPN?

[crystal marlin]

You don't have to configure anything on the attackbox, except the task is instructing you to, for example to add something to your hosts file or similar. Only subscriber have internet access on the attackbox. What room is it that you are trying to access the target machine of?

[cobalt kiln]

@crystal marlin I am doing /contentdiscovery at the moment, but that already answers my question 🙂 It's just a little slow with these fonts then

Hey guys I'M having a problem to access the machine or scanning while performing attack

Don't know what's wrong ?

Please help?

[plush bay]

are you using the attackbox?? if not have you connected to the vpn

[crystal marlin]

What machine, what task, are you on the attackbox or your own machine etc.?

[mystic widget]

I'm using my own machine and django ctf unit5

@plush bay yes I'm connect to vpn

[crystal marlin]

So how are you trying to connect to the machine?

[mystic widget]

Scanning it with nmap

And also try to ping it but it didn't respond or respond for few seconds and then machine stops responsing

[crystal marlin]

Can you open 10.10.10.10 in your machines browser?

[mystic widget]

Nay

[crystal marlin]

Then you are most probably not successfully connected to the THM VPN. If you do curl 10.10.10.10/whoami you get a reply with your IP ?

[mystic widget]

Ok

But

It showing instalization complete

So how do i fix it

[crystal marlin]

Are you using a virtual machine as attacking machine?

[mystic widget]

No dual boot

[crystal marlin]

So it's a linux OS ?

[mystic widget]

Yes

Parrot Os

[crystal marlin]

If you enter ifconfig can you see a tun0 interface? And in case you do, is there any extra like tun1, tun2 etc. ?

[mystic widget]

Yes bro there is extra ones also like tun1 tun2 tun3

[crystal marlin]

sudo killall openvpn and then connect again to the vpn. Make sure after that you only have a tun0 and no extra tun1, tun2 etc.

[mystic widget]

Ya its now upto tun6

If it will create again then

?

[crystal marlin]

Lets not discuss issues which are not happening already 😄

Having some trouble reaching the machine. (IP/evilshell.php)
Using a Kali VM, VPN is connected and machine responds to pings, but when opened in the browser (which worked fine yesterday), it just loads forever.
Tried terminating and restarting both machine and VPN, and tried FF and Chromium.

[plush bay]

are you running burp suite on the kali vm??? or forgot to disable the foxyproxy if you used it in the past on firefox

[daring tendon]

Burp is not running, and FoxyProxy is disabled.

[plush bay]

okay then that was the things shadow could think of

[daring tendon]

I appreciate it anyways

[plush bay]

what do you get if you try and ping the machines ip???

[daring tendon]

nmap and regular ping

[plush bay]

have you uploaded a file called evilshell.php to the webserver???? if yes are you sure it is in the root dir and not in a upload or uploads dir

Hi

[patent sage]

i locked out of SSH after UFW enabled. Suggestions?

It's not mine

i have only ssh access

It's a machine through virtualization

It's a server from my university

[grand perch]

You'll need whoever has console access to correct the issue for you.

doesn't recommend hacking real-world targets even if you have access permission to restore access.

[patent sage]

i installed a vnc server and after i allowed the vnc server to UFW

it's strange

i passed all the rules

for VNC server and OpenSSH

maybe, doenst allow vnc traffic

i connected through vpn file

and after with SSH

but now i can't

maybe, i need some other rule to UFW?

for incoming connections?

[grand perch]

Would need to know more about the setup and design of the system.
But secure by default is common, which means need firewall/IPTables etc. to be explicitly told what ports to listen to, perhaps where to listen from, etc.

On RHEL based distros with SELINUX it gets worse because it monitors per-application, and setting it incorrectly could revoke a rule from another location that was needed for access.

Once you lose VPS access, it kinda sucks, you usually need Remote-Hands, or at least some kind of IPMI/Console connection.

I should setup a script on my VPSes for when I'm making network changes that reverts IPTables, SSH Configs, and SELINUX to known good states if I lose connection for more than an hour xD

[patent sage]

hmm okay thanks for your time

i am going to contact the sysadmin

Restart it self?

Linux terminal or windows desktop app?

I tried vpn and tried tor and proxychains and changing the kali machine and delete openvpn and install it again

Just to confirm, by vpn you mean thm vpn, right?

[humble coral]

it's not working on another machine

[hollow otter]

How new are you with tryhackme?

[humble coral]

I am not new

before months ago all was good I back now and subscribe for a year and this faced me

[hollow otter]

I see, have you try to regenerate the vpn config file? I have read there's some issue with specific subsciber vpn where they cant use it

[humble coral]

yes I did

[hollow otter]

Might want to send an email to support, since I have no clue what you mean by "restarting"

[humble coral]

pls can i send photo for DM

how can I access tryhackme using openvpn on windows 10

[sleek jackal]

does the tryhackme site say you are connected? if you run ipconfig in terminal, does it show you have a connection?

you might need to regenerate the vpn file.

[mental loom]

hey all, having an issue with kali linux input

Keyboard input isn't working in my virtual machine, and the scroll wheel when i'm on a firefox tab is switching to the previously viewed one.

and I can't open the terminal tab that is on the very top bar of my screen.

[hollow otter]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11039177/keyboard-not-working-in-oracle-vm-virtual-box/55127877

[mental loom]

I saw that, still isn't working.

It's something to do with the VM internally, as I can't open my terminal tab, and the search bar is screwing up also.

Might just have to completely power it off.

[hollow otter]

This is why you always have snapshot of your vm

[mental loom]

Where do vm instances save on a windows pc?

[hollow otter]

Google what is vm snapshot and tell me how amazing it is

[mental loom]

I think I can already infer, and I thought it saved that everytime I pressed "save the machine state".

[hollow otter]

Anyway, make a new vm and compare the setting of this new vm to your broken vm

That what i did when there's weird thing going on with one of the image

[mellow kelp]

can you screenshot please

[naive dust]

https://imgur.com/2hiOLMK.png

[mellow kelp]

do "ifconfig" do you see tun0, tun1, tun2, etc..?

[naive dust]

none

[mellow kelp]

try closing the terminal and sudoing the openvpn in a fresh one

[naive dust]

same results

[mellow kelp]

well the only things you could do are 1) restarting the vm and trying again (maybe its a process problem) or 2) re-downloading the config file

[naive dust]

I am using an installation not a vm, and I got similar restults on windows, I did regenerate the ovpn and redownloaded

I thought servers were down so I gave it like 2 days and I asked today

[crystal marlin]

Did you try to change vpn server instead of just regenerating the config file? Does your VM has internet connection at all?

[mellow kelp]

Also i see from your terminals you tried to connect to the vpn twice at the same time, could you kill the previous process

[naive dust]

I have the OS installed on the machine itself and I am running it right now and yes I tried different servers

[crystal marlin]

Most likely with the error you got you have to go by that post: #site-support message

[naive dust]

I am in Egypt so yea I guess probably blocked, any way around it?

[fallen wing]

hey @crystal marlin where can i ask for help about ubuntu

[crystal marlin]

Probably #general as it's most likely not related to THM.

[fallen wing]

yeah i mean

i have problem about openvpn

on ubuntu

[crystal marlin]

And what problem you have about openvpn there?

[naive dust]

so is it possible to connect to the server with a different protocol?

[fallen wing]

it says openvpn is already newest version

but i cant find in any directory or file

dunno how to activate

[crystal marlin]

As far as I know I don't think you can use the vpn then, sry. But you can still use the attackbox.

[crystal marlin]

Okay, so it's not about connecting to the thm vpn with openvpn rather then just trying to update it?

[fallen wing]

i mean i updated

with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[crystal marlin]

It should, but you can do it manually by verifying to the bot again.

guys, need your support. I've been looking for a solution, but can't understand what is happening. I can run openVPN, establish a connection, open a room, ping the room and nmap it, but when i try to open the website of the room on firefox (or any other) nothing appears on image. I can see the request done in the developers tools, and the source code, but the web doesn't load. This happens to me on windows and on kali linux (VM), but instead it works properly if i deploy the web ATTACK BOX of THM. What am i doing wrong? i can't understand whats happening. I send you pictures. Please help me.

the web appers black any time

i can ping and nmap port 80

i can see source code and developers tools, but seems that some files i don't receive

this is config of my net on VM

[hollow otter]

gobuster

[runic barn]

DOES work

[hollow otter]

Restart the target machine?

Or it might have just connection issue

[runic barn]

restarted thousand of times

and used different vpn servers

[hollow otter]

Different browser?

[runic barn]

sorry, but gobuster DOES work

tried too, with chrome on windows machine, IE and firefox

the problems looks to be the firefox or any filter on my computer.... :S

[crystal marlin]

Is openvpn running directly inside your VM or/and on your host machine too?

[runic barn]

no

[runic barn]

no is not, on windows i am not running any vpn right now, only on the VM

[crystal marlin]

If you check ifconfig can you only see a tun0 interface or any extra like tun1, tun2 etc. ?

[runic barn]

only one

eth0, lo, tun0

only that

desperate...

[crystal marlin]

Have you tried clearing cache in firefox already? Also are you getting any errors in the console?

[runic barn]

cookies, cache... everything deleted

in the console i get everything, as ping, nmap, gobuster, curl...

[crystal marlin]

No, in the dev tools console of firefox

[runic barn]

this

on inspector nothing

on network only the request done

[crystal marlin]

That's not the console, that's the network tab

[runic barn]

on burpsuite, it makes the request but there is no response

this is the console

[crystal marlin]

Either way, try sudo ifconfig tun0 mtu 1200 in your terminal and then hard refresh the page with ctrl + F5, if that doesn't help put it back to 1500.

[runic barn]

WTF!!!! seriously????????? HOLLY SHIT!!! I LOVE YOU!!! MARRY MEEEEEE!!!

what is this command about?

o my fucking god!!! 2 weeks for this.... 😦

I’m having the same issue Gordidon

iPhone and PC

[rough dust]

hi guys. can we pick a location for the spawning of the attackbox. I've paid for the monthly subscription but the latency is so high its unusable. I'm in singapore.

[sleek jackal]

@wild compass here

what are you trying to do exactly?

[sleek jackal]

what do you mean pick a location? the attackbox does not spin up locally on your machine.

[sleek jackal]

you can try regenerating the VPN file and reconnecting

[rough dust]

geographical location. I'm accessing via a browser in singapore and opening and closing terminals, using the firefox browser etc takes many many second. resizing a window is impossible.

[wild compass]

I was trying answer this question (which i could finally answer by counting words and hit and trial)

[rough dust]

I'm not using vpn - I'm using the in browser attack box

[sleek jackal]

so is it working?

[wild compass]

but you see there's no task here

there was one as i said in general but it was only in the start

when I first opened the file

and now every time I open this file nothing is there

[sleek jackal]

whatever the closest server to you is the one where the box would be spun up, I would imagine. keep in mind that you are accessing a machine which is using a VM to grant you access to the attack box. there is going to be a degree of latency involved in this no matter what. On top of that, network quality (not just your internet speed but the quality of the connection between you and the server) and server load play a part. the box could be busy and the network congested.

[sleek jackal]

have you tried restarting the box? sometimes there are services or cron jobs which are supposed to be running but for whatever reason they never launch or get hung

[wild compass]

i can't restart the machine as the 1 hour time has expired

[rough dust]

Thanks Lycan. Yes, I understand the latency, thats why I'm asking if it can be chosen as I dont see any information on where/how the in browser machine is spun up.

sadly, it does not seem like this is an option right now. the company would need to have a server in the region for it to be chosen. I remember when they only had like 3 options for VPN servers to be chosen.

[rough dust]

Yeh, I think I'm not going to have a choice. Are you part of tryhackme @sleek jackal or a volunteer?

Hi I was just trying to purchase an annual premium subscription with the AoC2021 code and it says invalid promo code. Can anyone help?

[crystal marlin]

The code is AOC2021

[quaint mural]

That is what I am using and it still shows invalid

[crystal marlin]

Well regarding to your post you used AoC2021 instead of AOC2021

[sleek jackal]

@idle fable here

[idle fable]

i'm here

[sleek jackal]

go ahead and continue typing

[quaint mural]

I've tried both and failed saying invalid. Didn't know if captials mattered

[sleek jackal]

capital always matters.

[sleek jackal]

try to remember it the way linux handles it. o and O are two completely separate characters

[crystal marlin]

And you sure you have picked annual and not monthly?

[quaint mural]

I'm not sure if its because I'm under a student account or not but my email is showing both discounts applied for the promo

Yes

[crystal marlin]

Then I think it's most likely because you already have a reduced price due to student discount. But to make sure you might send an email to the support, although I guess they are pretty tied up already.

[idle fable]

Should I download new *.ovpn configuration? I've removed last dowloaded config file.

[sleek jackal]

it wouldn't hurt anything. your account wont be effected. just download it to the same location and try running the command again

[quaint mural]

Ok thanks @crystal marlin I don't mind paying the price without the discount but I'll send an email just in case.

update: sudo openvpn file.ovpn //WORKED// but not sudo openvpn /path/to/file.ovpn as stated in the THM connections options information webpage. Earlier on, I've tried to open vpn from the home directory and it showed me error in the terminal. @sleek jackal

[lament trout]

I tried putting in both codes and both work, hmm

[crystal marlin]

Oh okay, I was just checking the room and there it was all in capital

[bronze vale]

The code doesn’t work for people with the student plan

[quaint mural]

@bronze vale ah ok. Not sure why it’d show that way in the email though. Not a big deal either way

[lament trout]

if you do cat /path/to/file.ovpn does it print it?

[idle fable]

No, it doesn't

😩

[lament trout]

you're entering the wrong path then

go to the directory where the .ovpn file is located, do pwd and you'll get the path

use that path

[idle fable]

cat /home/user/Downloads/file.ovpn

PRINTED Now!!!

[lament trout]

now try that path with sudo openvpn?

hey guys.
Does anyone know if a flickering cursor in attackbox is a known issue?
Is there a way to fix this?

[plush bay]

it fixed itself when shadow allowed canvas things in firefox

[azure arch]

Any THM staff able to assist with a billing issue? I have a current premium membership from a voucher that expires tomorrow, but trying to get the subscription price being offered today. Thanks.

[wintry girder]

Not sure if i understand correctly, but i currently have the issue

[plush bay]

next to the url bar when using the attackbox... the same place the lock for https is there should be a thingy that looks like a painters tablet thingy with paint on it.... if you click that there is an option to allow or deny canvas readouts or something like it in firefox... clicking allow will make the cursor look like a normal white or black cursor

[naive dust]

bruh why does attackbox stop working after 1-2hours even if I am using it??

[wintry girder]

Unfortunatly i cant find it. The issue just started accuring like an hour ago. Before that it worked perfectly

[plush bay]

huh okay then that might not be it

[crystal marlin]

Because there is a 2 hours timer, if you don't extend that timer the machine gets shut down.

[wintry girder]

I also have pretty hard lag. It only accurs in Firefox tho

[wintry girder]

Reboot did it for me. Sorry for the trouble :/

@lament trout on one of those websites in the vm... eg. Whatsmyip.com

[lament trout]

that site will tell you your external IP, the THM VPN doesn't give you internet access and hence no external IP, it just allows you to access their network and be able to work on their machines.

[kindred hill]

@lament trout ahh...so theres no actual problem. Ok I understand. I thought that might be the case but didn't continue using the vm since i wasn't sure. Thank you for the reply

Hello, I'm struggling to use Nessus to run a scan for the nessus room it's my first time using vpn too which might be the issue. I've got Nessus set up. I've downloaded open vpn used the config file I got from TryHack me. The Network Access page on THM says I'm connected, I can ping the ip I'm trying to scan and the scan runs. But it doesn't find anything at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hello, I'm doing the Advent of Cyber 1 [2019] room, but for Task 14 [day 9] the server (10.10.169.100:3000) times out.
Is that server still up? Maybe it needs a reset?

[stuck coyote]

hey, how are u doing? THM doesn't recognize my student email and I followed the instruction and send an email to support. but no response yet, how much time does the process take usually?

[shell moon]

Using kali linux through oracle vm on my win10 desktop.
I'm using THM's openvpn config file by using kali's upper-right gui.
The problem I'm having is it's dropping the vpn connection after a couple minutes. Real pain whne trying to do things like nmap scans on THM to answer questions and it'll get 75-80% way through a scan and just drop. Screenshot attached of the actual gui button I'm using for vpn
Any suggestions of why it would be dropping the vpn connection randomly?

Also someone mentioned it could be network connection issue.. but unless the vm itself is limiting my connection I don't think that would be a problem. I'm direct wired into my switch and have fiber gigabit with no other connection issues in my rack or other devices

[crystal marlin]

Instead of using that gui, have you tried just running the vpn with sudo openvpn yourconfigfile.ovpn ?

[shell moon]

I can and throw the output in here. That was the original request to do

I'll finish this task up real quick and post

Does seem to be working. I originally set a script up to just run this from the desktop although I haven't been using it since the gui was quick and dirty checkbox

Ah that's interesting. I wonder if the gui based part of it is kicking without reconnecting for "inactivity timeout" but the cli side just auto reconnects. It just happened even though I'm actively using it. Posting screenshot:

[crystal marlin]

I mean, I'm not sure about the inactivity timeouts, but as long as you are not facing any issue while doing your tasks, you should be fine, right?

[shell moon]

Ya I should be good now. Even with the quick restart it still proceeded with a nmap scan while that happened in the middle. I will use the script from now on instead of gui

[dark atlas]

if i pay for annually subscriptions will they take me $90 right now or it will be every month?

[zealous yoke]

It will be one purchase all up front

pay now

don't pay until the next 12 month expiry unless you cancel before

[dark atlas]

so they will take me $90 now?

[zealous yoke]

Yes

you pay upfront

[median mulch]

hello

i seem to be having connectivity issues with my vpn when i am on my parrot os vm

i connect, i go to 10.10.10.10 to verify that... it will say im connected but sometimes not show the ip

then routinely if i run a nmap scan or try gobuster, it will say unable to connect

i will have to control c a decent number of times to reconnect... any ideas on this

thanks!

and it says it cant connect with i try to execute the gobuster, nmap, etc

should my vm be on nat or bridged? any help with the network settings

yeah i think it has something to with it being in nat instead of bridged adapter

could anyone explain that?

[dim drum]

do you connect to the vpn from the guest or the host?

[median mulch]

i do it on my vm

when i first start up my vm, its the first thing i do

[dim drum]

i think your vm would work both NAT or bridged if you connect with the host instead of the guest

I've had similar experience trying to get a kali docker container to work

[median mulch]

im sorry, what do you mean host or guest

like the vm is not my host windows

its a parrot os on my host windows

[dim drum]

the guest is the virtual machine the host is the 'real' machine you're running the hypervisor on

[median mulch]

right i gotcha

yeah i do it on my guest vm parrot os

[dim drum]

bridged means its on the same subnet as your host, NAT puts it on a separate network. does it work if you use bridged?

[median mulch]

it does work but i think i might have needed to disconect and connect again

but might be too early to tell but yes i am able to execute things

its more just hit or miss

[dim drum]

what kind of hypervisor are you running on? virtualbox, vmware, hyperv?

[median mulch]

virtual box

here is my gobuster not able to connect

[dim drum]

when I run virtual box I connect on the host (if you have windows use openvpn connect client) and use bridged networking and the virtual machine can communicate with the thm network

[median mulch]

ok let me see if i understand you

so i would be connecting to the openvpn with my host

which is windows in this case

let me look up openvpn connect client

[dim drum]

yeah

[median mulch]

alright downloading that now

[crystal marlin]

If you have openvpn running on your host instead of inside your VM, will cause you issues.

For example you will not be able to catch rev shells in your VM then.

[median mulch]

hmm do you have any advice for connectivity issues on vpn then connecting from the guest

[crystal marlin]

check ifconfig if to make sure there is only a tun0 interface and not any extra like tun1, tun2 etc.

[median mulch]

yeah were all good there

just tun0

[crystal marlin]

And if you do curl 10.10.10.10/whoami you get a reply with your tun0 IP ?

[median mulch]

correct

i think its just intermittent

like let me see if this gobuster works real quick

[crystal marlin]

Then try sudo ifconfig tun0 mtu 1200 and check if that solves your issue.

[median mulch]

ok let me see

ok it let me run that command.

just see if i have any issues in a bit?

[crystal marlin]

Ye.

[median mulch]

only thing is this, let me show you

its not showing the actual ip

[dim drum]

I've connected to the vpn on my host on windows, mac, and linux and its worked for docker and virtual box

haven't tried hyper v or vmware though

[crystal marlin]

Well I wouldn't rely to much on that.

[dim drum]

Although I have had a problem on windows using kali on WSL2 when creating reverse shells

[median mulch]

it is working currently

in the middle of changing phtml to php one sec

[crystal marlin]

Ye, you most likely will not be able to catch any rev shells inside your VM if you have the vpn running on your host.

[dim drum]

Why not?

[median mulch]

yeah its just randomly doesnt work

if i hit refresh, half the time then it will send me to the correct page

[crystal marlin]

Well I don't know in detail and I might be wrong, but how should it reach your VM if the target machine tries to connect back to your vpn IP, which will be your host machine ?

[dim drum]

I guess you would use the VM's address instead of the hosts

[median mulch]

this restart message keeps coming back up

[crystal marlin]

Ye but especially in that case it can not work. Your VM only has some local network IP. How should the target machine reach that?

[median mulch]

thats when im not able to get to my page, maybe i wait 30 secs, just seems like its happeningggg wayyyyy too often

[crystal marlin]

You tried changing VPN server already?

[median mulch]

changing?

you mean like control c? not sure

[crystal marlin]

On the thm access page, changing server, regenerating the config file and download the new config file.

[median mulch]

ohhh let me see you mean redownloading the file that i start it up with every day?

[crystal marlin]

Yes, but changing the server and regenerating first on the access page.

[median mulch]

is that ok that it has an x for connected? i have not downloaded it yet but this is a diff one than i am using currenlty

[crystal marlin]

Don't rely on that too much.

Make sure to wait 2 mins after regenerating the config file before downloading.

[median mulch]

i dont think i know what im doing

and ive def downloaded before 2 mins

i tried to download it gave me the same file name that it was orignially except for the (1)

[crystal marlin]

So have you Switched to another server -> pressed regenerate -> downloaded ?

That's fine, it will always have the same filename, your username.ovpn

[median mulch]

ok so it took time to regenerate

now i can download it?

[crystal marlin]

Ye, if you waited 2 mins, not only the timer. Then download it.

[median mulch]

im goinf to delete my old files

and start from new

im about to download in about 1 minute

[crystal marlin]

Ok ^^

[median mulch]

alright just connected and its says initialization sequence completed

and i have a diff ip than i did previously with the other file

[crystal marlin]

Ye then try now if the issues are gone.

[median mulch]

so good so far

is that just a general guideline... if something is wrong

change the server

regenerate, then go from there?

[crystal marlin]

No, I would first look for other issues, like multiple tun interfaces etc.

[median mulch]

gotcha

what you asked before

what was the other command you made me run?

[crystal marlin]

sudo ifconfig tun0 mtu 1200 often solves connection issue

[median mulch]

any help if i understand that or not so much? ha

[crystal marlin]

Just google it what mtu does. But basically max packet size setting.

[median mulch]

gotcha

really thanks a lot

[upbeat bloom]

I know this has been done before, I’d email [e-mail]

[broken bear]

How are you connecting to the VPN? In a guest VM? From your primary OS?

[hot ridge]

From my primary OS

Which is a mac

[broken bear]

Walk me through the process you use to connect

[hot ridge]

Ok I went to my widget on top right of screen

Pressed import

From local file

Ran the opvn

Pressed on the IP that popped up

[broken bear]

what are the connection logs looking like?

[hot ridge]

How would I check that?

[broken bear]

and, do you see the OVPN tun0 device if you open your terminal?

[hot ridge]

So my logs look fine

[broken bear]

I don't know how you'd check the logs from the mac connection widget. I'm just a community mentor who uses linux a lot, mac not in 4+ years.

are you getting an IP address from the VPN?

[hot ridge]

Yes

[broken bear]

can you ping 10.10.10.10

[hot ridge]

Yes

[broken bear]

connection is fine then; this probably isn't a VPN problem.

[hot ridge]

Could it be I'm typing the wrong IP in?

I'm typing in https:// machine IP ( IP that the active machine information displays) into my search bar

[broken bear]

Is 443 open on the target?

the machine IP should be the VM hosted by THM for the room

[hot ridge]

Sorry for the late response I had a wifi outage

I checked my external address, machine IP and active machine IP and on all of them port 443 was closed

[broken bear]

then you will never be able to hit https without specifying a different port

https://<machine IP> routes to 443 by default

[hot ridge]

So I should unblock TCP 443 and then it might work?

[shell moon]

Thanks! Just now realized there's a rep system so I'm late to the party

Welp maybe its to late 🤦‍♂️

[indigo lily]

Hey guys, I don’t know why but now then I use gobuster scan it show the progress from 1% to 100% in lines and it’s annoying does anyone know how to fix this ?

[broken bear]

Why would you need to unblock that port? You can already reach HTTPS sites when not connected to the VPN. What room is giving you this much trouble?

[hot ridge]

This one

It's not really the room that's the problem it's getting the vpn to work

[lament trout]

@indigo lily not really sure what you mean, send screenshot?

@hot ridge shouldn't you be using http instead of https?

[lament trout]

also, are you sure that machine has port 80 open?

[indigo lily]

This is what I meant

[hot ridge]

I can use both http and https sites normally which I think means my ports 80 and 443 are open

And I've searched the IP with both http and https and both times it's timed out

[lament trout]

I meant for that specific machine you're trying to browse

[hot ridge]

Oh well I also did a check on port 80 when I checked for 443

Also blocked

[lament trout]

can you show the error you're getting on your browser when you try to open http://<machine IP>

[hot ridge]

I don't have image perms but I can type it out

One second

[lament trout]

not sure what could be causing that, few things you can try are 1. updating gobuster and/or 2. trying it on terminal instead of terminator

[hot ridge]

Ok so with http://machine IP I get a windows server website

[lament trout]

perfect, thats what you're supposed to get on that machine

[hot ridge]

And on opera https:// machine IP gives me your connection timed out

[lament trout]

because you're not supposed to browse it using https

[hot ridge]

And on safari https:// machine IP it gives me safari can't open page because sever is located isn't responding

[lament trout]

just use http on any browser and it should work

[hot ridge]

So I press welcome on there and download iss?

Given that I don't have a Microsoft OS

[lament trout]

I don't get you?

[broken bear]

I think you have misunderstood a lot of what I've told you. You don't 'open' port 443 on your local machine; and opening it on the server is beyond your control. Follow the nmap tasks to get a list of ports that you can connect to. port 80 is the default port for http, and 443 is the default port for https.

This isn't a VPN issue, this is a you issue.

[kindred kelp]

I don't believe it's a network issue, I've been able to finish the other tasks without issues, I guess it has to do with the fact that this task (sadly) doesn't use a deployable machine.

Then sudo killall openvpn and connect to the vpn again. Make sure you only have tun0 after that.

[elder wraith]

its gone to thn0 to then8

now its not deleteing it

[crystal marlin]

Don't worry, it's not too important 🙂 There is a cooldown after you gave someone rep.

[crystal marlin]

Mh? Have you done sudo killall openvpn first?

[elder wraith]

yes

[crystal marlin]

And now you have tun0 - 8 ?

[elder wraith]

yes

[crystal marlin]

So if you only do sudo killall openvpn and then check ifconfig again, do the tun interfaces still stay?

[elder wraith]

yes

[crystal marlin]

How did you connect to the thm vpn in the first place?

You have not answered the question. Anyways, try restarting your VM.

[elder wraith]

oh i connected it through openvpn only

[crystal marlin]

So with sudo openvpn yourusername.ovpn ?

But give the restart a try.

[elder wraith]

yes

okay

after restart there is no tun0

[crystal marlin]

And also no tun1, tun2 etc. right?

[elder wraith]

yes

[crystal marlin]

Then run the openvpn command to connect to the vpn and check if there is only a tun0 interface after that.

[elder wraith]

now i can access the site thank you

is there any fix without restart

[crystal marlin]

Well sudo killall openvpn should do the job usually. I don't know why that wasn't working. Did you run it without sudo?

[elder wraith]

i did it with sudo

i think by disabling it n again enabling it may work

Hello,

Is it possible to keep my THM account (with my 10£ subscription ) and ask for a points/rank/rooms reset ? Or do I need to cancel my payment, delete my actual account and recreate a new one ?

You can reset room progress one by one but you'll still keep your points, if you want to restart from scratch I think the only way is to create a new account

[sharp acorn]

is there a way to see all the vouchers I have bought for others and have been redeemed or not?

[lethal hamlet]

Is that possible that someone on the tryhackme network tried to DDOS me ?

My VM became very slow, until I cut all connections. From then on, everything went back to normal

It's super unlikely that someone used a botnet to slow down your virtual machine

[muted oxide]

does in browser VMs works onyl on specific browser?

or do i have to have some settings?

[plush bay]

think it should work in both chrome and firefox

[muted oxide]

im using safari 😄

[plush bay]

ah

dunno how it would work in safari as safari is a bit unique

[muted oxide]

even some interactive (beginner rooms for sending packets, didnt worked there

but worked just fine in chrome

[plush bay]

well as safari uses a bit of a different engine to run websites and stuff maybe it becomes incompatible with the attackbox and other parts of stuffs

shadow can't confirm it themselves and would need someone that has access to safari and more knowledge on the subject to answer for sure though

[muted oxide]

attackbox works just fine mrs midnight

[plush bay]

also please disper_ don't send dm:s without asking in here first and getting a confirmation message that the people want to recive dms

[muted oxide]

ok sorry ^^, no hard feelings

[hot ridge]

Is there something in doing wrong? I'm trying to connect to openvpn

[analog flower]

I believe it isn’t “/Downloads/” and should just be “Downloads/“ if you’re in the home directory

Oh wait

Nvm lol

[hot ridge]

Yea I've tried both

[lament trout]

go in downloads folder and do pwd

use that path

@hot ridge

[hot ridge]

Same error

[lament trout]

do cat path/to/file.ovpn

if it doesn't print the content of the file, you're using the wrong path.

[hot ridge]

It tells me there's no such file

But the file is right there in Downloads

[lament trout]

send a screenshot?

[hot ridge]

Ohhhh wait

Wait

I solved the issue

That's embarrassing sorry

[lament trout]

haha, I saw that XD

good luck, hack away

How does 5 days break during the holidays equates to losing 10 streaks?

[eager fulcrum]

Did you use ssh2john?

[eager fulcrum]

1 missed day = lost streak.

[leaden bronze]

@eager fulcrum yes.

[old gyro]

Right, but how did I lose 10 in 5 days?

[eager fulcrum]

You didn't.
You lost your whole streak on the first day you missed a question.

[old gyro]

I had a 10 before taking the time off to spend with family and saw it last night down to 0. No problem. Not complaining, was curious.

[eager fulcrum]

Yes

Your streak was lost completely (10 to 0) on the first day

Streaks do not partially decrease. If you miss a day, you lose the whole thing.

[old gyro]

Bummer... Not a problem, thank you for the reply. 🙂

Hey, I am trying to change my country(initially it was wrong). But it doesn't take effect after refresh. It shows the previous country again after the refresh.

[zealous yoke]

Try this: https://tryhackme.com/api/user/update-timezone @tacit shuttle

[tacit shuttle]

Umm, this takes me to dashboard.

[zealous yoke]

That means it has worked

[tacit shuttle]

Oh

[zealous yoke]

you should be able to check back on your profile and see the timezone that your iP address / browser is set from

[tacit shuttle]

Unfortunately, it didn't. I doubled checked it now again. I tried setting the country again and visiting the url.

I am not using any VPN or something.

hi there, I was wondering if I could cumulate the student discount + the AOC2021 coupon?

It took me to my dashboard but the timezone did not update. I had no VPN or incognito browser session. I am using latest version of Microsoft Edge. There is no visible error so I think screenshot is useless in my case.

[late rivet]

Anybody how made a room with Wordpress could DM me ? i have some questions.. thanks in advance

[crystal marlin]

If it's taking you to your dashboard it should have worked. Check you public profile to see the country it is set to.

[tacit shuttle]

I did. But it is still 'UK'.

[crystal marlin]

So you are not from UK? I think it's setting the country in regards to your IP.

[tacit shuttle]

No I am not from UK. And websites like whatismyipaddress_com detects my IP & Country properly.

[crystal marlin]

Mh, other then that I don't know what else you can do.

[tacit shuttle]

Is there any chance of this error because I have a '.' in my username? Maybe it is creating an unexpected bug in the backend?

Well, when I created my account, tryhackme didn't warn me about the dot so I thought its fine.

[crystal marlin]

You mind sharing your public profile to me? You can also DM it to me if you don't want to share it publicly.

[tacit shuttle]

[crystal river]

Anyone familiar with Linux? I'm getting You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives even though I just gave VirtualBox more space

[sage sierra]

what does df -h say?

[crystal river]

one sec

[sage sierra]

you should have more than 1GB free space. If you're trying to do something that needs more - did you increase the size of the hard drive in virtualbox, but not the size of the filesystem in the VM?

[real bough]

For liunix is it possible to decrease the size of system partition to duel boot windows

[crystal river]

I increased the hard drive in VB(Base Memory). How do I increase the size of the filesystem in the VM? Would that be under preferences as well?

[sage sierra]

that's a bit tricky. you need to boot the VM with a live CD (gparted works, or some linux installation disk) and use that because it doesn't work on mounted filesystems.

[crystal river]

There's no other way? I'm not sure why this is happening because I didn't have this trouble in the past

[sage sierra]

no, it's a pain. you installed to a 11GB disk, that's pretty tiny.

[sage sierra]

you could delete more things but your disk will still be small.

[crystal river]

Does an external hard drive work?

[sage sierra]

you can pretty easily create a second disk in virtualbox and attach that to the VM
then create a filesystem on that disk from within the VM and mount it

[crystal river]

okay great. I'll do that then, thanks

hey guys, rly have trouble getting rid of not so active friends, deleting them seems like a big challenge to me 🤔
tried different browsers, with no scripts active(adblock,duckduck,noscript..)
gets even more weird when i have to scart scrolling down the friends list, cause that X wanders way way more down out of that "friend list box"
-help? :D

[crystal marlin]

Try to push the horizontal bar to the right so the X might be still inside the box when hovering over the friends name

[rocky pebble]

nope, same result

[crystal marlin]

Then maybe try to make the browser window smaller (I assume you have it on full screen already)

[rocky pebble]

nope, its small size atm, tried dirrerent browser size already. sry should have mentioned it

in that vid its half my screen 50|50

i just made another vid showing

in this one you can see the "effect" of that X moving down better

it starts happen by scrolling the list

[crystal marlin]

I mean I don't even know why it is like that in the first place for you ^^ But to solve it for now you could edit the width of that box to make it bigger in the html inspector

[rocky pebble]

hum, yeah, good idea. gonna do that. just thought it may could be a site bug so you guys can fix that

[crystal marlin]

I never saw that before, but if you think it's a bug you could report it in #site-bugs
