Is there a way to use my own personal kali linux virtualbox, and use it with the room machine, instead of using the attack box, or web kali?

celest wadi
#

and use it with openvpn on kali to get connected

anyone here?

weary spindle
#

Yes.

knotty halo
#

Nah. We're all just figments of your imagination. Nothing is real, nothing matters, nothing has value, you will die and rot, and when you die, we all will cease to "exist", for lack of a better word.

But I've also heard some cases of one of the OS deleting parts of a partition.

knotty halo
#

Plus, a VM I can run on my works virtualization cluster, which is infinitely more powerful and better-connected than my work-issued laptop. Half a TB of RAM, couple hundred TB of storage, the likes. Plus backup and highavailability, etc.

#

So, unless you have well-defined, specific use caes, dualbooting is meh at best.

Just like there is risks of your single boot OS corrupting.

#

Hey all, I have not been able to get most machines to load in any browsers despite the OpenVpn room machine working just fine

celest wadi
#

it should return your thm ip

tall vale
celest wadi
#

ip a should show you a tun0 interface with the same ip

tall vale
#

The one that was returned is different than my eth0

celest wadi
#

yeh, check your tunnel tun0 one

tall vale
#

I did an echo

#

it said VPN down

#

damn

celest wadi
#

what did you try?

tall vale
#

if echo 'ifconfig tun0' | grep -q "00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00"
then
echo "VPN up"
else
echo "VPN down"
fi
exit 0

celest wadi
#

what is that even doing,

#

if you can curl your ip, you're connected

tall vale
#

Then I guess I am connected

celest wadi
#

yeh, it's likely some other issue

tall vale
#

Like I said, I could access the OpenVPN room

#

machine

#

but other machines are not working

celest wadi
#

which machine is it?

tall vale
#

vulnversity

celest wadi
#

ah mtu fix

#

is there more than one tun0 interface like tun1 tun2?

#

check with ip a s

#

don't remember but yeh, could be possible

tall vale
#

The network services room machine also did not work

#

Ok, I can still run nmap scans on the machines, but I cannot run gobuster

#

Well the actual webpages do not load. I mean I know you do not need them, but I would like to know why they do not load

#

How could I check

celest wadi
#

I can still run nmap scans on the machines,

#

you've answered this yourself

tall vale
#

scan almost done

#

nope, only ports are 21/22/139/445

#

So that means it isn't even a webpage?

celest wadi
#

not on port 80/443 etc.,

tall vale
#

I watched someone else do the vulnversity walkthrough and a webpage opened for them

#

I feel like a scrub right now

weary spindle
#

Vulnersity has a web page.

tall vale
#

Is my firewall blocking me from accessing it?

#

I tried different browssers

weary spindle
#

No.

Hi guys i am having issue with connecting to server with openvpn it saying

#

2022-07-11 09:03:40 library versions: OpenSSL 3.0.3 3 May 2022, LZO 2.10
2022-07-11 09:03:40 Cipher BF-CBC not supported

celest wadi
#

check pinned messages

#

also, @keen scroll sorry for stealing your script, had no idea it'd get pinned, thank you

scenic torrentBOT
#

Gave +1 Rep to @keen scroll

fossil pecan
#

so the latest openvpn version has some bugs or not supported ?

celest wadi
#

yes

#

follow the second pinned msg

fossil pecan
#

thank you !

pastel tinsel
#

oh, my message got unpinned

#

guess they have fixed that now

celest wadi
keen scroll
celest wadi
fossil pecan
#

i will try the first one

celest wadi
#

nah, don't really need to do that

#

what's your openvpn version?

#

openvpn --version

fossil pecan
#

OpenVPN 2.5.7

celest wadi
#

yeh, do you have cipher or data-ciphers?

fossil pecan
#

data ciphers

celest wadi
#

use cipher regardless

fossil pecan
#

sould i put both cypher and data-ciphers

celest wadi
#

like that

fossil pecan
#

i used both its working now

celest wadi
#

if it works it works but best to only use the cipher AES-256-CBC line

fossil pecan
#

ok but it was giving me waring to use data-cipher before doing this

#

but i will check only cipher again

#

thank you so much

crystal marlin

Ah actually I don't even now if they'll be able to help reset, but I guess still worth a try

Hey gals & guys!

#

question!

#

how easy is it to hack someone who does not have a lot of protection?

elfin urchin
#

lol

#

funny story

#

my tinder date was cyber tech and he said he looked into me - and he know scary too many details

gleaming quarry
#

hi, someone know how to change payment details?

elfin urchin
#

now i want more protection :/ from creeps

#

@bronze vale lol

bronze vale
elfin urchin
#

i know

#

but like in future

#

prevention ๐Ÿ˜„

#

and i know the general things

#

passwords n private things etc etc

#

anything else i should look out for?

#

VPN's?

#

are they worth it?

bronze vale
#

Keep your social media accounts on private, don't hand out personal information, make sure that your family members do not give out personal information to anyone, don't put your social media on your tinder profile, if they immediately say they're a hacker unmatch, don't click on any links at all

bronze vale
bronze vale
#

Also, you put your location in on Tinder so a VPN won't scramble your location regardless

elfin urchin
#

dont click on it

Hi, new to TryHackMe, im in the Network Services room and i followed the instructions to install OpenVPN. Unfortunately i think it messed up my internet settings on my laptop. Whether it says connected or disconnected in OpenVPN my normal internet connection is now not working. Not sure if the run as administrator instruction is what changed things or not. Please advise how i can get things back to normal

@sharp bison I'm trying to solve a lab problem through connecting openvpn from my own machine.In my terminal it says 'Initialization successfully completed' but in tryhackme it doesn't show that vpn is connected.

I tried downloading and changing different vpn locations, but still the same result as before. I also tried changing from "cipher AES-256-CBC" to "data-ciphers AES-256-CBC", but still same result.

In this case how can I fix it?

Hello. Please how do I correct my name on my certificate? There's an error in the one I generated

celest wadi
celest wadi
#

once it's generated it can't be changed, you can change your full name in your profile so your next generated certificate has the correct one

#

(it's so people don't keep changing the name of a generated certificate and making one for 100 people with different names, not that they matter but yea)

You should be able to use this code-snippet in your browser console to terminate machines in the meanwhile (remember this will also terminate the attackbox). Or try firefox - I haven't heard any issues with firefox but only chromium-based browsers

What are the cmds/flags in using gobuster that doesn't show all the progress, but still show the (Remaining%). -z works however it too doesn't show (%) remain, so I just don't know how long to wait.

zealous yoke
#

pv is better suited for things like scp, dd, etc

naive dust
#

@zealous yoke I will assume pv stated for pattern string, and verbose? However, not good. The (%) doesn't show up.
I not sure why my gobuster show the torrent of progress, while most blogs I saw in using gobuster just used dir, -u, -w.

zealous yoke
#

Mhhm. AFAIK pv works by looking at how much has already happened and what is left. Not quite sure the magic of the in-between personally. RE. > I saw in using gobuster just used dir, -u, -w

Could just be different versions? I honestly have no idea if gobuster shows percentage remaining (I don't recall it in how I use it)

naive dust
#

@gray loom They do, until I use -z . But I would still use this instead of seeing the torrent of progress, and then navigate up from thousand of them to see the relevant results.

zealous yoke
#

you're looking for an overall progress of the scan rather than the progress of a certain directory if I'm understanding right?

naive dust
#

@gray loom It should, but a bug?

But if it's the error I assume it is, then regenerating or changing server + regenerating your ovpn file probably solves the issue

I am in the OWASP Juice Shop room on task 7 "Where did that come from?" I am able to get the alert to pop up from the search bar XSS and also by adding a header to the Last Login IP XSS but I am not getting the green box for either that has the flag. I have tried restarting the session, the attack box and the target machine a few times. I even took a couple of days off and just came back and tried it again. If I am seeing the alert box, and according to the instructions, it seems like I should get the flag. At least that is how all the other flags in this room worked. Am I missing something or is this a bug of some sort? Also, if there is a better channel to post this question in, please let me know. I apologize for my noobiness in advance...

Hi, I am currently trying to do the Nessus module of pentest+ path and so trying to install Nessus Essentials using Kali Linux WSL but am getting the the following error: (Reading database ... 335850 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack Nessus-8.15.5-debian6_amd64.deb ... Unpacking nessus (8.15.5) over (8.15.5) ... Setting up nessus (8.15.5) ... Unpacking Nessus Scanner Core Components... System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

You can start Nessus Scanner by typing /bin/systemctl start nessusd.service

I have tried /bin/systemctl start nessusd.service which hasn't worked. I have read about the issue with PID 1 and systemctl when using WSL and so have tried /sbin/service nessusd.service start when I get a 'No such file or directory error'.

It seems as though the PID / sytsemctl issue is quite well known but I just can't seem to figure out what I need to do.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure. I have followed the instructions from theTHM room. Downloaded fromn Nessus and then unpacked in Kali which is when I encounter this problem.

weary spindle
#

In your own VM?

#

Because it's too big for the Attackbox.

#

It needs 30GB of space.

empty timber
#

I've done all of that on Kali on my own computer

#

Not in Attackbox

#

I even tried on another device and got the same issue.

weary spindle
#

I don't know much about WSL, I used my VM and was pretty much download, install then go.

empty timber
#

OK. Maybe I should try using a VM instead.

weary spindle
#

Which Nessus are you downloading?

empty timber
#

nessus_8.15.5-debian6_i386.deb

#

sorry, not i385 but amd64

#

Hello,

#

i need to reset my entire progress and start afresh..is that possible?

empty timber
#

No. I asked a couple of weeks ago and it can't be done. You can reset your progress on individual rooms by going into the room and clicking the settings cog but only lets you do a few and then asks for captchas, so takes a long time

keen leaf
#

oh..ok...

#

thank you

empty timber
#

No problem. As I say that's what I was told when I asked support but someone may know better than me!

im struggling with maintaining a decent connection to a box. im running windows as host and using openvpn for the profile. my vm (kali) is running on vm workstation pro . i tried both a nat and bridged connection for my vm . i ran a nmap scan using zenmap on my windows host and i scan the box just fine but when i try to reach the box from the virtual machine (kali) i get no response back

I'm practicing the Kenobi room, and in the room it tells me to the run the following command

Any fixes I have come across have told me it was an issue with NodeJS? I'm not sure if NMap or OpenVPN used it so I downgraded to something below v17 like it asked, still did not work.

celest wadi
celest wadi
sharp sundial
#

Yes because I tried it against other hosts to see if it reproduced and I copied the command from my most recent

celest wadi
#

<IP> this is called a placeholder it means slap the ip you have in there and don't use this

sharp sundial
#

Oh no I mean I didn't run the command with <IP>. I copied my correct command and replaced the sensitive results, which was a host I personally own.

#

I don't want to just dish out the IP address on Discord

#

I had a correctly formatted IPv4 address in that field.

celest wadi
#

ah I see

#

well, this channel is for thm related tech support but using those nmap scripts seems to be messing up everything, try enumming manually with smbmap, smbclient, enum4linux etc.,:)

sharp sundial
#

You're right this is for THM related support, but I figured since THM has us connect to their network via OpenVPN that it would cover here. But thank you for letting me know and thank you for the alternatives I will definitely try those! However, if the problem persists should I try contacting some form of OpenVPN support instead?

celest wadi
#

uhh, no cuz if you're able to access the services, openvpn is working, nmap automated scripts aren't the end-all be-all, so best to try other things

Need some tech support with OpenVPN:

  1. I have OpenVPN updated and installed on my Kali VM, I have the OVPN file downloaded, but I tried to open a VPN and it won't connect, and instead kept restarting the connection. Also realized it never opened a tun0 interface.
  2. I ran the THM troubleshooting Python script, and now I am showing as having a tun0 interface with a 10.6.x.x /17 network, but I am still unable to ping any boxes on THM.

Is it something with my routing table that I would need to add/change? How can I go about troubleshooting this lol, help me. Some boxes are nearly impossible to do through the attached AttackBox/KaliVM.

Yup

that one show the same IP on thm and on thm it says i'm connected in same time i can't access the deployed machine or ping it and no terminal on my side running openvpn

Did you try regenerating your vpn config?

#

Nvm. Looks like a similar issue as above

crystal marlin
#

As far as I understood, that issue comes from openssl 3.x
So either you have to manually edit your /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf or wait for kali-defaults 2022.3.2 and kali-tweaks 2022.3.0 to hit the mirror.
You can read about that here: https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/kali-tweaks/-/issues/27#note_1026250488

@crystal marlin

crystal marlin
# open adder and what can i do now?

Have you tried to change the vpn server already?
Or regenerate your .ovpn file on the tryhackme access page?
Not sure why, but I think that even solved the issue for some.

Other then that, wait for the packages to be updated, or manually change your openssl.cnf

open adder
#

i will search of to change openssl.cnf

crystal marlin
# open adder i will search of to change openssl.cnf

Ye, the link to the necessary changes is above, I think you can skip the changes for /etc/ssl/kali.cnf and just apply the changes from /usr/share/kali-defaults/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf to your /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf

is there a way to use wget to download task files?

#

or any other cli tool?

#

I am using WSL and I am just wondering if there's a link I can just paste into the terminal

#

Perhaps this isn't the right place to ask this but my kali VM is suddenly impersonating windows. I don't know how to switch it back.

#

I tried typing "VM" in my windows search to access settings. Wasn't paying attention and it typed it in the kali search and opened VIM

#

when it did that IDK what else happened but it immediately turned to windows

#

only info i can find on something similar is "kali-undercover" which does nothing

placid mango
#

Yeah, just run kali-undercover again and it should get back to normal. If you still have any issues ask in #infosec-general as this chat is for support related to site and vpn.

Hi. I'm trying to get Nessus installed and running on my machine (Windows 10 64bit) but trying to install onto Kali. Kali has been installed using the Kali download through Microsoft store, setting up and then getting Kex GUI installed. All that works fine but when I download Nessus from tenable (Nessus-8.15.5-debian6_amd64.deb) it opens it, runs it but then says: "System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down
You can start Nessus Scanner by typing /bin/systemctl start nessusd.service"

#

From looking online this seems to be quite a common problem with Linux run through WSL but despite trying lots of suggestions, I just can't get it to work. If anyone understands this problem or has managed to sort it out themselves, I could really do with your help!

Hello everyone!! I was trying to get a reverse shell. However, I think I'm using the wrong IP address. I try to do it on the web machine that tryhackme gives us and work, using the machine IP that appears on the top of the page, but if use my virtual machine I get nothing with nc -lvnp 1234. I tried the IP from ifconfig, didn't work. So I tried the OpenVPN IP and didn't work too.

crystal marlin
rustic pewter
#

yes

crystal marlin
# rustic pewter yes

And where is openvpn running?
Directly inside your Virtual Machine or on your host machine ?

crystal marlin
# rustic pewter host

Then that's the issue why you are not able to catch the rev shell.
Change that, it has to run directly inside your VM and **only **inside your VM

But considering a rev shell is just a "fresh connection" from the target machine back to your listening IP(the VPN IP), how would your host know to forward that connection to your VM

Hello, I've been trying to download the task files onto the attackbox but I am unable to to go through the browser on the attackbox. It starts acting really funny when I go to the same THM page on my local machine. Anyone else have this issue. I can download these files onto my local machine but can't get them onto the attackbox. Only other thing I can think of is uploading the task files to google drive. Doesn't seem like an efficient choice. Thanks!

suddenly two rooms i've completed ages ago are showing up when i click the "hide complete" in the search but going into them and manually veriyfying, every task is complete. i tried refreshing, leaving/entering the rooms and logging out/in but they are still there showing as incomplete. ideas?

celest wadi
#

unless it's the redirect bug

#

some rooms show as not completed cuz the originals redirect to newer ones while the site still shows the old ones

so, use the "restart progress" button and then resubmit the flags? a bit of a chore since these rooms are really big but ok

celest wadi

check #site-bugs , a bunch of rooms have been reported

yeh, I think those have that bug

#

If you have updated your OpenVPN to 2.6 you can fix this by updating the 'cipher AES-256-CBC' line in your TryHackMe 'ovpn' file to 'data-ciphers AES-256-CBC'.

#

btw check pinned message in this room

its already data-ciphers AES-256-CBC

While you can use systemd to manage openvpn, I would consider that to be a non-standard use case.

# lilac violet but what exactly does | do? (please ping when replying)

It sends the output of one command, to the input of the next command. ls | grep file runs ls, sends the directory listing to grep, which does what it does (searches for file and displays the output) you can chain further pipes together to keep processing the output in programs as you want.
