Hey folks! Anyone here uses Kali on VMware Workstation? I'm not able to get Kali to work in Bridged mode.

[weary spindle]

I do.

I'll give you the fix.

[clear hedge]

Yes please

[weary spindle]

On your local drive you need to go program files (x86)

[clear hedge]

I've got that loading animation going endlessly where the connection status is displayed

[clear hedge]

In the Kali VM or in my windows host?

[weary spindle]

Your windows host.

[clear hedge]

Ok then?

[weary spindle]

Go to Vm ware workstation

[clear hedge]

Should I shut down the active machine first?

[weary spindle]

Nah.

[clear hedge]

Ok, I'm there

[weary spindle]

Look for "vmnetcfg.exe"

And run that as administrator

[clear hedge]

ok, founf it

[weary spindle]

Right click it and run as admin.

[clear hedge]

done, got a console type window

[weary spindle]

Do you see one of the types labelled "Bridged" ?

[clear hedge]

Yea, external connection says auto-bridging

[prisma palm]

no much difference if we go up 3 to 5

[weary spindle]

You need to change that box to whatever you use for your connection.

[clear hedge]

Alright, did that! Hit apply and then ok?

[weary spindle]

Yeah. 🙂

[clear hedge]

Alrighty! gonna try it now

@weary spindle You the man! Thank you so much! Spent all evening trying to fix this

[scenic torrent]

[weary spindle]

No problem Happy Hacking!

[naive dust]

i have my account tetsu.calamty and i cannot verify my token its already associated and its associated to this account i think

problem solved

[tidal shore]

Looks like at 8 you get "show detailed description of each handshake" and at 9 you get "show detailed info from TLS routines"

also if you check openvpn --show-ciphers and openvpn --show-tls are the enabled ciphers possibly outdated / restrictive?

[prisma palm]

heres what i got

[clear hedge]

Hey folks! Trying to update Kali, but I constantly keep getting this out of space error. I had given 25gb for this VM, tried giving 5gb more, ie 30gb now and I'm still getting this error

[tidal shore]

Do you have more? I'm pretty sure it's going to want the space to stage all ~7GB of stuff even if it ends up using a net of +1.8

[clear hedge]

Well, it's a 120gb SSD, I might have to transfer it to my HDD if it needs a lot more. How much more do you recommend?

[tidal shore]

I'd make about 10 more GB available on / if it were me
could try cleaning up too, but going by the indicated Used disk space maybe it won't make much difference
apt-get clean ; apt-get autoremove --purge

[tidal shore]

weird idk
maybe you can find something interesting in this:

openvpn --genkey secret ./test.key && openvpn --test-crypto --secret ./test.key --verb 9 | less
or instead of less, grep -iE 'error|warning|fail'

You also could double-check any firewall, NAT, port forwarding, etc. network possibilities, it'll be the most likely reason for this, but sometimes it never even gets to that point (in this case it sounds like maybe it's not even getting to the part where it attempts to send any packet)

[weary spindle]

Which room?

Which one?

There's two.

How long did you wait to try logging in via ssh?

There is no need for the DM, I can help you here.

What is your target machine ip?

?

try

ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss user@10.10.24.115

Are you connected to the VPN?

Can you verify and take a screenshot please.

[broken bear]

This is not the correct channel for that. This is for THM related support, such as VPN problems.

Are you able to ping 10.10.10.10 ? And what's the output of curl 10.10.10.10/whoami ?

[weary spindle]

Can you show me a screenshot of your connection attempt?

That is why you can't connect.

Close your ovpn script and run it again.

Try running this

https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting

[weary spindle]

Or delete them? lol.

[candid geode]

my avast is detecting kali linux live boot as URL Blacklist, is this normal?

[plush bay]

yes this is very normal

lots of antiviruses flag penetration tools and reverse shells and stuff as malicous

this includes kali

[winged shuttle]

Hi THM tech team!

I have finished the "Pentesting Tools" series and did not get my badge. Rooms "Metasploit" and "Burp" are showing as I haven't completed (when I click and enter into the rooms (both) it shows that it's complete (as I have done)). Could you please take a look?

Thank you in advance!

[midnight haven]

OpenVPN problems here! Anyone that have a minute over? Thanks!

[dawn steppe]

Hi, I have a problem with OpenVPN. There was never a problem, but nowI can't want to load the page from the burp room, so I decided to reconnect with THM, but the site still did not detect my connection, so I wanted to download the vpn file again. But 3 times downloaded an empty file inside. When I chose another server, now I can't download at all, I get an error 404 "Uh-oh, this page has been lost in the matrix."

[crystal marlin]

Explain your issue straight away pls 🙂

[crystal marlin]

You mean it's just a spinning circle on the room page?

[midnight haven]

"Options error: in CMD_LINE :1: error opening config file"

[midnight haven]

Im writing "sudo openvpn /Downloads/filename.ovpn" to get this reply

[dawn steppe]

I didn't use burp when loading the page 🙂 I just don't have a THM connection. So I wanted to reconnect .. but I couldn't. So I decided to download the new openvpn.

[dawn steppe]

same here 🙂

[crystal marlin]

Well it depends in which directory you are in, since you are using /Downloads (which is not the root directory)

So try using the full path to the file

[dawn steppe]

Try open this file, mine is empty 🙂

size : 0 bites, empty inside.

[crystal marlin]

I didn't said you are using burp , I asked if the burp suite room, which you are trying to access is just having a spinning circle and simply doesn't load?

[midnight haven]

Thank you, it worked!

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin

[dawn steppe]

oh sorry , https://tryhackme.com/room/burpsuiteintruder here.

Now I tried to download the new access openvpn file for the 10th time, finally it worked! 🙂 I don't have a 404 error and the file contains data 🙂 !

[crystal marlin]

Okay, you never answered my question, so I just assume there is a spinning circle on the room page.
Try to refresh the burp suite room page with CTRL + F5

[midnight haven]

I jinxed it, lol. Still no connection when checking "Access" at the THM website 😦

[crystal marlin]

Can we do one issue after the other?

There is no need for a vpn connection to have the burp suite room loading

[midnight haven]

Of course. I'll wait.

[crystal marlin]

Oh lol sry, I confused you with braintx 😄

[dawn steppe]

I reconnected now because I downloaded the new openvpn file, now everything works. There was just no connection to thm and I couldn't get the website in burp room, and when it did, it was empty file inside 🙂

[crystal marlin]

The access page is not reliable to verify if you are successfully connected to the thm vpn.
To verify if you are successfully connected visit 10.10.10.10 or enter curl 10.10.10.10/whoami in your terminal, where the latter should reply with your tun0 IP

[dawn steppe]

all done 🙂 working 🙂

[crystal marlin]

There is no need for a vpn connection to acces the burp suite room page 🙂
Only to access the target machine itself

[dawn steppe]

Oh I see it now that I didn't have to have a connection to thm, but when I finished this room I had to fix this problem for other tasks anyway 😄 I just didn't have a connection, I couldn't download fresh vpn as well. Now everything works fine after 10 tries 🙂

ok all sorted ! 🙂 thanks ! I had a 404 error when trying to download the vpn file, now its fine 🙂

[crystal marlin]

Alrighty

[dawn steppe]

Thanks

👍

[midnight haven]

The IP address I get after the later option you gave me, should that IP address be the same as the one that's being showed when I've deployed my machine?

[crystal marlin]

No, that's your vpn IP, so your tun0 IP
So there are basically just 2 other IPs you could see.
The target machine IP.
Or the IP of the attackbox.
But since you are using your own machine, you don't need the attackbox

[midnight haven]

The thing is when I'm starting the machine, nothing happens'. Hmm..

[crystal marlin]

Which room?

[midnight haven]

h4cked

[neon wigeon]

hey guys, I'm trying to use kerbrute in the commands, it doesn't seem to recognize it. was there a specific command to start it? I'm using it for "Attacktive Directory" in task 3 but it hasn't provided much of anything and googling doesn't seem to help either. Watching the walkthroughs, its working fine for everyone, just doesn't recognize it at all. I tried to use it in "attack box" vm and the "browser-based Kali" vm provided. I did install it. I'm in the folder for it in the terminal.

[crystal marlin]

And you are pressing the green "Start machine" button in task 2 ?

[midnight haven]

Pressing it and I get this IP-address of the machine, the time ticking down etc. Nothing more than that

[crystal marlin]

Well what else did you expect to happen?
You got the IP of the target machine now, so follow along with the room challenge to find your way into the machine 🙂

[crystal marlin]

How did you install it?

[neon wigeon]

tried a few ways, the only way that worked was "git clone https://github.com/ropnop/kerbrute.git"

[crystal marlin]

Did you follow along with the install instructions?
Or you just did git clone and that's it ?

[neon wigeon]

sorry Its in task 4 lol. Im pretty sure I did since the folder seems in order? I did the command. but reading over the read me I think I need to make a file? I just cant seem to get the commands to work. Task 4 just taks about it but doesnt give anything else to go on. It kind of expects you to know

[crystal marlin]

You can get already compiled binarys here: https://github.com/ropnop/kerbrute/releases

Once you have the right one, just rename it to kerbrute and move it into /usr/bin

Then you should be able to run it as usual

[neon wigeon]

yah I downloaded those, didnt seem to work either. Didnt give any install options. But Ill try your method

yeah thats what I figured too. I think the problem right now might be just getting commands to work properly

[crystal marlin]

Which commands you mean?

Download it, rename it, move it to /usr/bin then try kerbrute -h

[neon wigeon]

its saying to use ./kerbrute --help to find commands lol

[crystal marlin]

Just ignore the ./ part, for more comfort you can just run it as any command without that

[neon wigeon]

tried that as a command but also used that as a folder path and tried just --help (which I knew wouldn'y(made mistake here) do anything but just incase I read it wrong)

yeah I tried without as well

[crystal marlin]

Okay, so is kerbrute working now ? I'm confused

[neon wigeon]

no it doesnt see the commands sorry, I meant those are the ones I tried. I put would accidently instead of wouldnt

[crystal marlin]

Show a screenshot pls, I'm not sure if I understand what you mean

[neon wigeon]

ok I got it. I did what you mentioned renamed it. then when that didnt work and displayed a permission issue I chmod 777 and it runs

[neon wigeon]

when I ran any command it would just say: command doesnt exist

[crystal marlin]

Oh okay, ye that's why you had to move it to /usr/bin 🙂

Or just run it with ./kerbrute

[neon wigeon]

yeah Im still kinda learning the linux ins and outs 🙂 but thats super great to know 🙂

thanks so much for the help!

[digital yarrow]

does this mean there is a py script running right now with that name

Ahaa

[finite cosmos]

Hi all I cant ssh

[proud yoke]

Does the website have someone to help you. I can't pass Linux Fundamentals part3. Create a file using Nano. Everytime I try using ctrl and then command it either closes the website or brings me to a fresh webpage. I can't edit "task3" as the commands won't work.

[sonic citrus]

hi, how join kali lunix virtual machine in windows server 2019 os?
if any man learn this please answer me.

and I just need to connect them in an internal network with each other, and give an IP address to every machine in them.

[flint rapids]

I have a question for anyone, I am trying to connect to one of the active machine IP addresses webpage after running a VPN and it doesn't connect. I am wondering what I am doinng wrong? I can ping to the address, but can't open the web page. Do you have to do someing in the /etc/hosts ?

[jovial mango]

Are you sure that your target machine has active web server running? and if it is, then is it redirecting to some other url then add that url to hosts file

[flint rapids]

it just keeps on spinning

what is active web server?

[true nest]

Which room? Some do require editing /etc/hosts when they give you a proper fully qualified domain name. If it's just an IP it should be fine. You can determine if an active webserver is running by an nmap scan of the IP, -sV flag will determine the services and versions behind detected ports for example

And yeah some rooms won't have them on port 80, can all depend

[flint rapids]

I am on Authenication Bypass

I can access the web page via attack box but not on my Virtual Box

[true nest]

Are you running the VPN and the ping you mentioned above from within your local VM?

[flint rapids]

So, how do I access the web site? editing /etc/hosts? and entering the active machine IP?

Yes OpenVPN and I pinged the machine.

[true nest]

Authentication Bypass won't require editing /etc/hosts, it's just an IP

[flint rapids]

virtual box running Kali and pinged the active Machine's IP, got the reply

y does it keep loading when I enter it in the browser?

[true nest]

This the first one you've had issues with via the VPN? Looks like I passed this box without much issue

[flint rapids]

Yes, I mean the attack box works, but I want faster connection and use my own Kali Machine

[ionic grove]

Hi admins,
I have completed Learn and win prizes #2 room, and i didn't get any tickets..

[true nest]

Yeah I can access it fine on port 80 like normal just http://machine_ip like normal

[true nest]

That's fine, I'm testing via my virtual private server which is openVPNed in

same concept just remote. If you can ping the IP you should be fine

[flint rapids]

not sure what's going? It worked before, now it doesn't open the page

[true nest]

might need to manually add http:// depending on the browser, idk Firefox isn't too picky about that

Can you access 10.10.10.10 in the browser?

[flint rapids]

yes

add it to /etc/hosts?

[true nest]

That would only help for resolving a domain name, we already have the correct IP

[flint rapids]

but like how? IP address .<than what goes here

yes

[jovial mango]

If the machine has active web server then it will show web page

[flint rapids]

I guess it doesn't

[ionic grove]

@stray cove

[flint rapids]

@jovial mango

[jovial mango]

?

[jovial mango]

Do you have VPN running?

[true nest]

All you should need is to paste the IP address in the URL bar like normal. Might help to copy the IP again and also make sure that the room's VM didn't expire while you were testing

[flint rapids]

Yes

I did that, it still spins

[true nest]

If you can access 10.10.10.10 in the browser like you said, you should be set. Maybe just relaunch the room's VM, could be something hung and wouldn't hurt trying with the new IP they give you

[flint rapids]

I tried that too

I been on this box since yesterday

trying to figure out why the Ovpn isn't working

[ionic grove]

Anyone can help.please?

[jovial mango]

Can you show the screenshot?

[flint rapids]

I have just been doing everything on the attack box

ok so the snip thing doesn't work

[true nest]

If this is the only room that you've had that issue with then I guess that's not the end of the world. But yeah opening the room's IP in your browser will be important. The only thing I can think of is if you've possibly used NetworkManager's OpenVPN support instead of just doing sudo openvpn UserName.ovpn. I had issues with NetworkManager's implementation and how it handled my connection

[flint rapids]

why can't i paste my pics?

[true nest]

You need to verify your account with the bot

[flint rapids]

still doens't let me

[jovial mango]

You arent verified yet

[true nest]

The instructions are above, you DM the bot with the info they mention

[jovial mango]

Check your dc token first

Then dm !verify <yourtoken> to the bot

[flint rapids]

Yeah I got the token

oh

one sec

ok, so this is what I'm getting

[jovial mango]

Check if you are using proxy?

[flint rapids]

no proxy

[true nest]

especially if you left Burp Intercept going

fair enough

I mean can you visit the main page normally? This is mine but yeah the IP will be different

[flint rapids]

using the system proxy systems

[true nest]

(I have universal dark theme, shh)

[jovial mango]

do one thing from your terminal, curl 10.10.10.10/whoami

[flint rapids]

I can't access that page

[jovial mango]

Do curl from terminal

[flint rapids]

yes

[jovial mango]

Did you see your IP?

[true nest]

Nice, didn't know about that feature

[flint rapids]

wow it gives me a whole different address

[jovial mango]

Its your IP

[true nest]

Yeah that should be your IP on the TryHackMe network

[jovial mango]

Yeah

Change your browser

[flint rapids]

to chrome?

[jovial mango]

Yeah

[flint rapids]

it says it wants a keyring

I dont know that

[jovial mango]

Screenshot

[true nest]

if you haven't set the system keyring or changed your Kali login info, it's probably the default password for Kali

[jovial mango]

Oh that popup thing right? That asks for pass?

[true nest]

Yeah, similar to macOS keychain. Seahorse on Linux probably in Kali, will let you view it all

[flint rapids]

yeah

nvm it works now

my keyboard and computer is screwie

[jovial mango]

Changing browser worked?

[flint rapids]

naw, it does the same thing

[true nest]

What are these "system level proxy settings" you mentioned above

And can you access 10.10.10.10 in Chrome?

[jovial mango]

I think something is wrong with his VPN

[flint rapids]

I have a VPN on my host

maybe?

[true nest]

I thought you said the guest

[jovial mango]

Check ifconfig

[flint rapids]

virtual box is guest ?

my physical is host

[true nest]

Your NAT to the local VM may cause issues. Yeah guest is the OS you're virtualizing

[crystal marlin]

Running the thm vpn over another vpn can definitely be the cause of the issue

[true nest]

Best to make sure the OpenVPN is running on your guest Kali OS

That too

[flint rapids]

it is

so dc my physical vpn?

[crystal marlin]

Yes

[true nest]

And you have another VPN going on the host OS? Like mentioned two VPNs can cause issues

Especially with what your VM is doing networking wise

[flint rapids]

hmm so that worked

@crystal marlin

[true nest]

Turned off host VPN?

[flint rapids]

yes

[true nest]

Glad to hear it

[flint rapids]

that was weird

[true nest]

Your VM's NAT may have caused issues with that setup

[flint rapids]

yeah

[true nest]

Depending on how you have it configured, doesn't have to be NAT

[flint rapids]

Thanks a bunch Fontaene

I have it to my NAT yes

saved a bunch of headaches and 2 hours of research

[crystal marlin]

Not a problem. Thanks to the other 2 guys who helped you quite a lot before I interfered 😄

Happy Hacking again

[true nest]

Those rooms are fun

[jovial mango]

No problem. Best of luck dude

[flint rapids]

yeah that attack box is awfully slow sometimes

wanted the authenication way like HTB

[true nest]

Mhmm, I use my virtual private server. Then ssh tunneled Burp Proxy + Foxy Proxy to my browser, so totally understand how it can get complex

[jovial mango]

Ok i ll see you guys later, i have to charge my phone,. Happy hacking to all

[sonic citrus]

thank for help me

[flint rapids]

Oh nice Docker is a way to go!!

I use Linode sometimes to deploy docker

[true nest]

Not a container, I just have an Arch Linux pentesting VPS I setup on DigitalOcean yeah

Not had to deploy much docker on it

[flint rapids]

ok time to get this room done and Bounty Hunt

[true nest]

But I'll try not to get too off topic heh, enjoy!

[flint rapids]

I'll have to try Arch Linux one of these days

[true nest]

I'll just say it's perfect for me, but I've been on it since 2008. Sure teaches you how Linux fits together and is configured, but that's my jam

Not for everyone and yeah Kali gives you everything you need, where I had to setup postgresql for Metasploit, but I like to see how that works too

[ionic grove]

Hi admins,
I have completed Learn and win prizes #2 room, and i didn't get any tickets..

[crystal marlin]

Because that's an old event, which is already done.
Task 1 states: The ticket promotion ends on the 31st of October 2021

[proud yoke]

. Sorry to spam.

[crystal marlin]

So what's the key combination your are pressing ?

[proud yoke]

Ctrl W, G and T don't work for me and I need them to pass the task.

1 closes the site completely and another dashboards me. Closing Google down completely.

[crystal marlin]

Okay, well I don't necessarily see that you would need these keys to complete the task.
All you basically need is CTRL + X as far as I see that.
So since you are using the attackbox in your browser, that's just an shortcut issue.
You could try to SSH into your attackbox to avoid having to use a browser

[proud yoke]

I haven't tried that. Sorry I'm only on this a few day's, will figure out how to open personal attackbox. Thank you for the reply and help.

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @crystal marlin

[crystal marlin]

That's fine, nothing to be sorry about 🙂

[stray cove]

I'm pretty sure that promotion is over

[velvet flare]

My vpn is not connecting and I was trying to download the new one but it shows 404 error

Can anyone help me ?

Yes

But not showing ip on dashboard

Oke

Thanks

[long lion]

GM, I have always had trouble copying text from the room to the virtual machine or vice versa when using attack box, what should I do?

Or what would you recommend I do to fix this issue?

[stable adder]

Hi, whenever I try to download my VPN config file I either get a 404 for EU-VIP-1 or an empty file for EU-VIP-2. Works fine with regular servers tho

(not a big deal ofc)

#site-support message

[last hinge]

does anyone know how to solve this problem : connecting with openvpn to tryhackme
Image
not even on a different virtual machine is it working
i think it is a problem with tryhackme

[weary spindle]

What about your connection?

[last hinge]

internet connection?

[weary spindle]

Yes.

[last hinge]

when i can open tryhackme on firebox i guess it works fine

[weary spindle]

https://github.com/tryhackme/openvpn-troubleshooting

Try running that one too.

Did that work?

[last hinge]

1 minute

no its not working "tun0 interface does not exist"

i just dont know

...

nvm i will try to reinstall the vm

[tidal shore]

You can check interface name in ip -a -br link I guess

[last hinge]

eth0

standart

[tidal shore]

ip -a tuntap ?

[crystal marlin]

Could you check your .ovpn file and maybe send a screenshot of about the first 7 - 8 lines?

[last hinge]

in 5mins i reinstall rn kali linux

[crystal marlin]

Doesn't sound or looks like an issue with your VM, but maybe once you redownload your ovpn file it is solved anyways, we'll see

[tidal shore]

oh ok I see, the script is already using ip a to check for tun0 and printing that error if not tun0

[last hinge]

ip a => lo & eth0

[tidal shore]

and it doesn't have to recreate the VPN interface each time, I think, right? But how about the first connection, then (at least in this script) does tun0 have to be created before we actually start trying to negotiate?

(well of course, but I mean, is the creation of the VPN interface not taken to be part of VPN setup rather than a prerequisite)

Oh nvm I didn't see it calling connect() in the middle of these steps

[last hinge]

same error on reinstalled vm

wait my ovpn file is empty

when i try to download the opvn file i get 404 on tryhackme page

[crystal marlin]

So that's the issue 😄 Maybe change server, regenerate, then wait 3- 4 mins before trying to download

[last hinge]

all are empty

[crystal marlin]

What you mean by all are empty?

[last hinge]

i re-generated 3 opvn fiiles from from different server

[eager fulcrum]

It does.

[last hinge]

all contain no data

[eager fulcrum]

Regenerate, wait 5 minutes, download.

[crystal marlin]

Did I not told you to wait 3 - 4 mins ^^

[last hinge]

ok lets wait 3-4 mins 😄

[celest wadi]

nooob,

!vpnscript

[sharp bison]

From TryHackMe with ❤!

[last hinge]

again 404 tryhackme

"Uh-oh, this page has been lost in the matrix."

and again ovpn file is empty

[crystal marlin]

So, you changed server, then pressed regenerate, then waited 3 - 4 mins, right ? So was that the exact order you did it?

[last hinge]

yes

[crystal marlin]

Then try to log out of your account, back in to your account and do the same process again. But maybe wait 5 mins this time.

[last hinge]

ok now lets wait 5 mins

but the fact that when i try to download the file on tryhackme platform and i get a 404 page on both vm and host machine shows that this probably are server side problem

[crystal marlin]

That's why these steps

[last hinge]

now i download again

wish me luck

again empty

dafuq

[crystal marlin]

So did you log out of your account and back in ?

[last hinge]

yess

on both machines

host and vm

[crystal marlin]

To which server have you changed it ?

[last hinge]

eu vip 2

[crystal marlin]

Change to a regular, then regenerate and wait 5 mins

[zealous yoke]

What VPN servers have tried @last hinge? this seems to be re-occurring for others. I'll raise it

[last hinge]

all eu's

[crystal marlin]

So have you changed to a regular EU server, regenerated and waited 5 mins and it wasn't working either?

[last hinge]

yes

[plush bay]

shadows EU ovpn still works but not tried to regenerate and get a new one

probably should not try that incase it revokes their current one

[last hinge]

lol*

yeah should definitely not re-download

[zealous yoke]

EU-Regular-2 & 3 are generrating for me. I've raised issues with the others

[cinder thistle]

I regenerated like a week ago (eu regular 1) and it worked fine, but the first time I generated my ovpn file(like a year ago) i had to refresh multiple times and finally wait(~5-10 minutes)

[plush bay]

took a bit for shadow to memorise their current vpn ip so definitely not worth losing it and having to learn a new one

[cinder thistle]

It gave me the same(for the same server, but if you don't have any difficulties connecting there is no reason for you grab a new one(i guess)

[plush bay]

yeah shadow just thought if they could help by trying too

[cinder thistle]

Fair enough

@zealous yoke could you text me if it is fixed in the future so i dont have re-try every day ?

[cosmic shell]

for more than a month, Tryhackme's vpn never worked on college lan. After some troubleshooting I ended up using mobile data the whole time. I thought of finally asking out here today and felt like to give vpn on lan another try before posting and it worked. xD

College could have blocked the port that openvpn uses.

[normal garden]

For a streak, I understand that you have to answer another question in under 24 hours from when you previously answered your last question to increment your streak by one, but what is the minimum amount of time between questions that needs to pass before your streak is incremented? I answered a question last night, and then again today. It has been greater than 12 hours but less than 24 and my streak didn't increment.

[crystal marlin]

I think when your timezone is set correctly, it should be always when a new day begins, so at 00:00. At least that's how it is for me. You can set the timezone by clicking on that link while you have no vpn or whatsoever running: https://tryhackme.com/api/user/update-timezone

But no guarantee on that, so make sure to test it to not lose your streak 🙂 @normal garden

Getting a "Owner has made this room private." on some of the learning path links. Is this normal?

[celest wadi]

Some rooms were deprecated and replaced

[coral salmon]

can someone help me out? i wanna download a cert with my full name instead of my username
and idk how

whenever i download the cert it uses my username for some reason

[crystal marlin]

Because you haven't added your full name to your profile, once the cert is generated, it can't be changed anymore

[crystal marlin]

#site-support message

[coral salmon]

i have added my full name before generating the cert

and i even reset the progress of a room in the path to re-generate the cert

but nothing's changed

[crystal marlin]

So you generated the cert, you saw it had your username, then you added your name to the profile and tried to generate again, right ?

[coral salmon]

yes

[crystal marlin]

Okay, but as I said, once you generated the cert without the full name in your profile, regenerating will not change the name anymore, you had to add the name to your profile before you generated it the first time

[coral salmon]

i see. will this still happen if i complete a different path and my full name is already on my profile?

[crystal marlin]

No, any upcoming certs you will get will have your full name on the cert, if you have your full name in your profile now

slow and crashing machines are fun... my attackbox crashed again and all progress lost. happened too often now and just made me unsubscribe

[zealous yoke]

Hey, what do you mean by "crashing" exactly just to be certain so that we can take a look into this. What happened in the events leading up to it?

The attackbox, much like regular machines, do expire so you do have to be mindful that you'll need to extend the timer

[frigid folio]

Hi Ben, well I just start the attack box and the machine, try to do stuff and at some point the box is getting really slow... takes 2-3 secs to respond to my inputs. Before I was on the steel mountain room and it happened again. The timer showed 1 hour left when it started to lag and at about 37 mins left there was no more response and it failed to connect. I refreshed the page and had to start the attack box aswell the machine again. As I said that happened several times for me with different machines... is it possible when it's "rush hour" on THM the machines get a lot of traffic resulting in lag?

Any QubesOS users here that can help me out?

I am currently doing the network services room learning about basic telnet exploitation.
I can't seem to get a reverse shell with netcat. It works fine on the attackbox spun up on the website so I know that I am completing the room correctly. But on my personal machine I get nothing.

I think I've narrowed the problem down to a port forwarding issue with my vms, I create my exploit to connect to my THM VPN vm but when I set it up to forward the necessary port traffic to my Kali vm to connect, my KALI vm never sends a SYN, ACK TCP packet back to my THM vpm vm to send it back to the Vulnerable machine.

MY current chain is the following:

dom0 -> sysnet vm -> sysfirewall vm -> thmvpn vm -> my Kali box

I have no problem pinging, running nmap scans, connecting with smb, etc. It's just with a nc reverse shell using msfvenom as instructed thus far.

Any directions or links to read on how to fix the issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. I am currently going through the "MAL: REMnux - The Redux" Room and Task 6.

[worldly zodiac]

why is the attackbox so laggy? is this normal or can i change something?

[zealous yoke]

Hey 👋 so your experience will depend on both your internet connection & the fact that the attackbox is deployed in Ireland. Becuase of this, the AttackBox allows multiple ways to connect to it:

1. VNC (the in-browser view)

We're constantly looking at ways we can improve performance of the attackbox for users who deploy it over the world. But yeah, ultimately atm it depends on how quick your connection to Ireland is atm

if you have any specific ideas or feedback, please submit them to #feedback-and-ideas that will help us greatly! (even just saying you want to see them will help) (:

[zealous yoke]

When I say "we" I mean me

Same region that the vulnerable machines are deployed in

deploying the AB in other regions requires a lot of infrastructure changes etc so it's not a quick thing for us to implement (:

is the tldr that I can give

It's a hardware problem :(

Hi, "https://tryhackme.com/room/25daysofchristmas" Task 14: 10.10.169.100 ip is reachable but port 3000 give no response like {"value":"s","next":"f"}... What can I do?

[worldly zodiac]

this is my first time using the openvpn, do i still need my own vm on my device?

pls hold

lOL

can i DM you

[worldly zodiac]

idk what im doing wrong i cant connect

[plush bay]

https instead of http

[worldly zodiac]

it is hhtps

[plush bay]

nah pretty much all target machines use http which is port 80 instead of https which is port 443

which means if you try and connect against the target machine using https it will fail

while http will work

firefox might be a bit tricky because it trys and defaults to https

[turbid ferry]

If you can curl 10.10.10.10/whoami and get your IP as a response then you're connected.
What is the room you are working on and are you suppose to connect to it via web browser?

[plush bay]

also valid responses and possiblities to add on the problem

[worldly zodiac]

im trying the network services room under complete beginner

[turbid ferry]

There is no need to connect in browser then, read the instructions on the tasks and follow them

[worldly zodiac]

oh

why does it give me an option to start machine? @turbid ferry

[turbid ferry]

You need to start the target machine to be able to do the tasks and connect via smb, telnet etc

There isn't always a web server running

[plush bay]

none website ports are open and running services that you can interact with from the attackbox or your own attack vm using the openvpn config file

you might need to learn how to use nmap to be able to figure out the open ports though

also mango a tip would be to go through junior pentester before complete beginnner if you feel lost

as the complete beginner path is kinda outdated and depractated so therefor might not flow as good as the new junior pentester path that replaced it

together with pre-security that is

[worldly zodiac]

okay okay i understand @turbid ferry @plush bay

thank you all for the help

[plush bay]

no problem

[worldly zodiac]

sorry for the dumb questions lmao its bc i only used the attackbox the entire time

[plush bay]

oh well there are not really that many dumb questions you can ask when learning

Hi, I don't know where to ask help in case of my issue, but I had an aprox. 40 days streak. I had activity yesterday (2022-05-07, and today is 2022-05-08 01:28 AM) I have no activity today, but the day just started. Why is my streak was reset and now I did an action and got a 1 day streak... Why?

[crystal marlin]

You get streak increase only by answering questions, but activity by answering question and simply starting machines.
So maybe you haven't answered a question rather then just starting a machine yesterday.
Either way, you could send an email to the support politely asking to restore your streak.
#site-support message

[slender jacinth]

I don't know exactly what actions I did yesterday so maybe those 4 action that made the yesterday green was only "deploy" kind of actions? In that case the whole Activity chart is misleading.
Anyway, thank you for your answer.

Hello. My Attack Box Keeps Disconnecting. I have the premium subscription. Is anyone else having this issue?

[worldly zodiac]

this might seem like a dumb question but:
can i use the THM website on my local machine and vpn in from my vm? will i still be “safe”?

or do i have to use the website on my vm as well?

[fierce zodiac]

Hello everyone

[crystal marlin]

Sure you will be "safe" by using the regular THM website on your local machine

There is no sarcasm 🙂

Its the VPN profile approved to work with the Network manager in parrot os ? I have some trouble that the VPN stops working after a couple of min

[severe dove]

I am trying to run this joomblah.py script for the Daily Bugle machine and I keep getting the same error every time. I've tried python and python3. Has anyone else had this problem?

nvm I guess I just had to use python2

[kind glen]

If i do that i cant access the web, then i need to manually find the option to not send all traffic with the vpn

[plush bay]

???? that is not how the openvpn works

[kind glen]

well it does

[plush bay]

include possible multiple tun devices

[kind glen]

Ok? Its a clean install of parrot os, when the file did not work then i tried the nm, then it crashed after some min. then i asked here

oh and in the nm i had to check to not send all traffic to vpn

do the user need to have rights to the tun interface ?

[crystal marlin]

I saw that quite often already that the internet connection is not working anymore when you use the NM, so simply don't use that

[kind glen]

oh my fault 😦 the vpn came up after a couple of min

i just needed to wait

[naive dust]

Running a machine in Network Services, task 6 Enumerating Telnet. I scanned the machine with nmap, with and without arguments, and didn't find any open ports using the AttackBox. I switched to OpenVPN and used a Kali VM and was able to find a port. Any reason why the AttackBox couldn't find a port with nmap but Kali with VPN could?

[plush bay]

the target machine not having fully booted and therefor the service not being up yet

[eager needle]

trying to install ovpn config file but i get a 404 response when i press on the download button.

[plush bay]

try clicking the regenrate ovpn file and wait five mins and try again... if that doesnt work change the vpn server you use

[eager needle]

regening doesnt work, how do i change the vpn server i use

btw i was connected with ovpn today and doing tryhackme tasks but something happened idk

[plush bay]

above the download button there is a drop down menu to choose what vpn server to use

[eager needle]

[scenic torrent]

Gave +1 Rep to @plush bay

no problem

that is just shadows guess on what happened

but seems accurate as it happens with some target machines shadow has booted and tried to hack too

[naive dust]

Yea, it is a bit odd though - I tried nmap 5 minutes in as well as 10 minutes in, nmap showed no ports open

Task recommended giving 5 minutes, just found it a bit odd 🤷‍♂️

[plush bay]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

could also be false negatives due to the timing speed you set

[cinder quest]

room expiring with an hour of time left still

nvm its still there just gave me the expired notification and then disapeared once i refreshed it came back

[eager fulcrum]

The wget is to an internet address, the target machines don't have internet
The scp are both to 192.168.1.0/24 (that's the whole network of 192.168.1.x), which aren't on the network with the target machines.
What's happening with the http server?

[echo heart]

its not getting connected to openvpn

like tls handshake fails everytime

idk why

[crystal marlin]

Show a screenshot of your openvpn output when trying to connect pls

[echo heart]

can i DM it?

[crystal marlin]

Yes

[crystal marlin]

Regarding to the screenshot, it's most likely one of these reasons: #site-support message

So check them, also make sure there is no firewall up interfering and you have internet connectivity

[echo heart]

its the wi-fi them my uni is weird

i can trust its the one blocking it

[crystal marlin]

Ye, if you are on uni it's very likely that the port is being blocked

You could ask if they can open that port for your connection in case it's blocked, at least someone else did that and they opened it for him

[echo heart]

well nah it would be a long paper work plus they got some old weird setup here

so i highly doubt

[austere cloud]

How can I update my cc payment?

[eager fulcrum]

Cancel and subscribe again

[austere cloud]

is that the only way how to do it?

I still have a few months left of subscription

??

[eager fulcrum]

If you cancel, your subscription will continue for the time that you have paid for

Once it expires, you can then subscribe again with the new card

[austere cloud]

so either way will work..

[eager fulcrum]

I did not present two ways, so no. Only this way will work.

[austere cloud]

ok, now I understand, the only thing is that I do not want to reset all work I've done and the modules I have completed by cancelling....

[turbid ferry]

You should have a link at the bottom of an email about your tryhackme payments that lets you login to the portal and edit your payment methods for your subscription

And if I've understood correctly, you don't lose progress on the rooms when your subscription ends, but you lose access to the rooms that are only for subscribers

[weary spindle]

You won't lose anything.

[slim thicket]

Anyone heard about something named Google jacuzzi as an operating system or device?

[austere cloud]

Under my profile , the only two options I have a cancel subscription and change password. There's no such a link to update payments. but thank you for your help Ainut and Scrubz

[crystal marlin]

He said the link will be in one of the subscription purchase emails, not on your profile page.

You only need the wordcount of the file. So you shouldn't need to cat it to do that.

[naive dawn]

Im having trouble using the internet while connected to the VPN on a virtual machine, I have tried the troubleshooting and fixes on the Tryhackme website to no avail. I was using NAT on the virtual machine and could access the boxes but not the internet, after switching the virtual machine to bridged I can access the internet but not the boxes.

Could this be because my local network is on the 10.10.x.x range?(with the same mask) If so is there anything I could do to fix this?

[unborn ore]

is the vpn running on your main machine ?

or the virtual

[naive dawn]

virtual sorry

[unborn ore]

the vpn running on your vm and connected to the internet via bridge
but you still can't access the box ?

can you ping them ?

[naive dawn]

I can but destination host unreachable

well stops at 10.10.1.120 not sure if thats local or on THM network

my actual machines ip is 10.10.1.70

not sure but trying changing the vm subnet ip

vmware / virtual box ?

[crystal marlin]

How do you connect to the tryhackme vpn? Via the command line or the network manager?

[naive dawn]

command line

sudo openvpn Tqm\ (7).ovpn

And what's the state right now? You can't connect to the internet or the boxes?

[unborn ore]

xd can you check my issue ?

[crystal marlin]

What's the task? Are you on the attackbox or your own machine ?

[unborn ore]

I tried both

room adventofcyber2

[crystal marlin]

I'm asking for the task, the room you already said 🙂

[naive dawn]

when using NAT i can connect to the boxes but not the internet and the other way round on bridged

[crystal marlin]

So could you try to put it on bridged, then try to reconnect to the thm vpn and let me know if you have a tun0 interface by checking ip a s or any extra like tun1, tun2 etc. ?

[naive dawn]

yes i have tun0

[crystal marlin]

And no tun1, tun2 etc . ?

i have lo, eth0, lxcbr0 and tun0

the machine is up but nmap result all ports closed including 80

[crystal marlin]

So what's the full url you used pls

[unborn ore]

http://10.10.219.130

The task states that the website is running on port 8000, so you have to edit your URL accordingly

nice , this happened again

ok thanks ;

Mh, what you mean with happened again?

this stupid moment

happened with me yesterday on portswigger , but godly I found it before asking for help

[crystal marlin]

Ye, just read the task carefully or conduct an nmap scan on all ports, not just the default ones 🙂

[unborn ore]

ok I will be more careful thanks..

[naive dawn]

do you guys think this is happening because my local network is 10.10.x.x and THM is 10.x.x.x both with 255.255.0.0 mask??

so the tunnelling cant differentiate
