||find / -type f -name "4bcbe*" 2>/dev/null what does this mean? when you type find / it is searching the whole system -type f: this means that the type is file and not a directory for directory you want to put -type d. -name "4bcbe*" this means that there is 4bcbe in the name but it continues so you put * 2>/dev/null this sends everything that is not what you are looking for to the /dev/null (look at the /dev/null as an blackhole. you send something and it doesn't come back)|| @worn cloud

I am on Peak-Hill right now. I have encoded the binary file to hex and then back to ascii. This is the file that I have. I'm not sure what to do with it now. Do I have to put it through one more encode/decode? :/
Still looks like garbage to me.
@white salmon I read the question again and i have to find a file that contains a string that stats with "4bcbe".
||grep -Ril "4bcbe"|| / is not working for me π¦
can anybody nudge me on stage 5's virtual host on CTF 100?
@white salmon nearly, elf
did you find the hidden data in 10.jpg @viral mason? maybe look at that again?
The 2>/dev/null only redirects errors
ohhhh right. @median compass
happy hunting
thanks man
yes its putting errors to /dev/null (which is nothing i think? ) @stuck fractal
Yep, but the way you explained it implies that that part of the command was ignoring things you're not looking for
Which isn't right
file?
has anyone done priv esc for mindgames and can share a hint?
@twilit swallow file <filename>
well, now you know what it is
is there something i need to install
wooow
so I could of vi <name of file> this entire time
π€¦
thanks for the help
can you guys please tell me that what should i do with this port knocking order at the end of stage 5 on ctf 100? my brain kinda stopped..
what do you mean?
oh wait, port knocking order
i thought it might be ascii but probably it's not
yeah the one with 2x3 pairs of chars
||you got numbers from the respective sites, each 2 char pair corresponds to a specific site||
hi all , privesc on mindgames involve reversing or pwning ? thanks
Hi there,
Just doing the Peak-Hill room
But I'm not able to unpickle the creds file.
I have already to decoded it to ascii.
But unpickling it gives this error.
where'd you decode the binary
did you just copy the ascii to a file?
Give me a moment.
i'd suggest decoding it on a different site (cyberchef maybe), downloading the output and trying again
Here is the file that I'm trying to unpicle.
Ok, I'll try with python3
Maybe I need to carve out a pickle?
Maybe the real pickle is hidden within the file?
that should've worked afaik
π€
i'd suggest decoding it on a different site (cyberchef maybe), downloading the output and trying again
seems like not all non-printable chars got through from what i see
I'll try and decode with cyberchef
@white salmon no reversing or binary exploitation (buffer overflow etc) in mind games
@wooden mist done
try decoding again on cyberchef and downloading the input, that should return a valid file
Just downloaded. Unpickling now.

Ok there's the output after downloading from cyberchef
Really you were able to depickle it?
That's weird.
Let me try again.
Which one did you upload?
Did you upload the creds or the decodehex file?
creds
Ah uploaded the hexdecode.
Must have corrupted it somehow.
Maybe missed a charcter
Awesome, deserialized it successfully.
It's a list.
Thanks very much for your help. @wooden mist
π
if you are copying the ASCII from cyberchef or some site I don't think it would work. Copy the hex, use unhexilify in python or use xxd to make the txt file. Then load it. also there is an option to load strings as well. not only file.
No, I downloaded the file.
didn't copy and paste.
I'm thinking that I must have missed a character when copying the cred file from my machine to the website.
anyone got a couple hints for Linux challenge
is there hint for room jurassic park?
well i did get the table name/databases.. somehow the users table lead to hole.. with column username:password
||does priv escalation from hatter -> root has anything to do with cronjobs? (wonderland)||
@rancid crystal Thanks. Got root. π
any help on breaking forget password mechanism
@white salmon for what?
after you have debugged something with r2 ("hitting a breakpoint") how do you restart the program if you want to run it againg inside r2 ?
can anyone give me a hint on python playground? I arrived at the page were the credential are but I can't figure it how to convert that string to the actual password
@white salmon for what?
@rancid crystal Owasp Juice shop
can anyone give me a hint on python playground? I arrived at the page were the credential are but I can't figure it how to convert that string to the actual password
@echo thunder RE it
Anybody got a hint for the last linux challenge? Im guessing i need to change to root user or use chmod but permission is always denied.
Look for interesting log files π
Jeez @steady stratus why are you up so early what time zone are you in
Iβm in BST (:
Itβs 11am but I get up really early anyways for work rotaβs and things
Oh I take it back then itβs 6 am here π
Ahahha - I should be asking you then! π
Iβm torn between two answers:
1 Iβm asking myself the same thing
2 i sensed people needed my help so I was awoken by their silent calls from discord
Ah yes, those calls huh
Theyβre quite loud to the trained ear
Just work as per usual
I decided actually to not do any hacking today and instead finish charting out 6 songs on bass that Iβve been putting off
You?
Ah nicee - been playing long? Thatβs kinda rad
Nothing exciting for me, in the middle of moving house so just doing odds and sods around the house ^^
For about a year
Oh cool! Kinda a bad time to be moving?
Or is it easier with the whole pandemic deal?
Look for interesting log files π
@steady stratus Was that aimed at me?
ah yes - sorry @whole valley (:
Need some a hint to wonderlandr ||Got the executeable and gonna use r2 to alter it i can see in one of the string the are running /bin/echo if i want to alter another string how do then write it so the execuable doesn't output as a string" iie. simply prints out /bin/echo xxxxx||
@mild eagle think about what you might be able to control...
no need to alter the executable itself
no hints on rooting mindgames yet, eh?
yeah well, that was given
I just saw an odd capability and a couple odd suid programs, but I can't seem to exploit that
yea, tried those aswell
James mentioned that he didn't include any rabbit holes in that one. So the odd capability must mean something, right? π€
(That upvote was a hint btw)
JB's screenshot with the ||modified uid || also hints in that direction
π³
The plot thickens
oh hmm
the ||capa|| is probably what we need, but how the hell can we exploit that... not the easiest binary to exploit
maybe it is like the ||lighweight htb box(from researching)|| but cannot do anything π¦
No, it's really not the easiest one to exploit
As I said yesterday, I would have needed the writeup when I tested it if James hadn't dropped a brief hint earlier
@spiral stag thank you for the hint i Think i Can go On from here.
gl!
Who said you need to "exploit" it?
exploit in the abuse it sense
trying to figure out how to use it to run code but that might be the wrong way of thinking about it
Does someone finished the new "https://tryhackme.com/room/rpburpsuite" room? I'm stuck at the shortcut question. #4 "Take a look at the actions, which shortcut allows us to forward the request to Repeater?" The solution is displayed at the Action Button- Context menu in burp but my submit is wrong: "....+R"
If this is not the right channel, sorry. 8/
check the hint
This bad little button π ?
not bad, but yes
Thank you.
What port is for the web server?{Anthem}
Enumerate using nmap π
thanks but which ip
The anthem instance
Enumerating and discovering what ports & services are running is an essential step in pentesting
@steady stratus Thanks brother
have fun!
brother its free or paid
rpnmap is free ^^
ok bro
I feel like i am in a self-inflicted rabbit hole on escalation for mindgames π¦
i THINK i know the path forward... that or its completely wrong aand have looked into this for 6 hours now π¦
welcome to the club
is there a CVE attached to your rabbit hole?
we're probably stuck at the same place
no
or not
hydra, DM?
Don't ask to ask, just ask.
Can anymore give me a clue regarding the pickle Rick game
Idk where to log on to Rick's computer
I think I know the username and password but where do I enter them?
Please ping me when u answer
I am attempting this puzzle now...I need to know if there is any way I can just enter the username and password and get into Rick's computer
There is... by learning how internet works, more or less.
Ok..so u mean this puzzle isn't for my level?
Then I'll just terminate it and learn the other stuff
Thx for letting me know
@gaunt herald i think your respone was irrelevant. here we help with rooms
@clever bane the username and password are used for SSH connection
that what you usually aim for - gain remote access
Understood!
Ok
@gaunt herald don't get me wrong, you didn't do anything bad or so but this channel is for room helping
U think banner grabbing the IP with a different terminal a good idea
So that u know the OS
And can locate the password folder
maybe π€·ββοΈ
also, if you ever stuck you can easily check writeups for guidance
not sure
If that doesn't work...
Doing an OS scan should...
yeah
And then u can locate the password folder and then give him his password
banner grabbing is not that important for THM but OS nmap scan is important
Ok gotcha
I prefer banner grab as it's passive...but here I guess it's fine to try an os scan
@white salmon sure
What Binary do I need to run on room1 task21 "Binary - shiba2" I think I'm halfway trough the task, I just don't know what to run to get the password
room lfi basic ---task3 ques 6th can any body tell me the what to do in that ques.....i get bit confused in that
@glacial remnant it walks you through what things you need to run, try rereading the prompts
@oblique cliff It doesn't specify what Binary needs running
@oblique cliff Thank you so much! I really don't know why I didn't think of that
No problem π
hey any hint for the privesec in the Mindgames room!
I got the user.txt but am stuck since!
embargo?
Only 3 people have rooted the box, and they aren't talking
Well notwithstanding the testers/reviewers
lol
I hope they don't help until after nahamcon. I'm out of ideas for now π
There was a small hint given a few hours ago @light dew ||apparently the unusual capability setting is relevant||
in ctf100.. am i supposed to use the port knocking sequence from stage 5 for stage 6? or am i missing something? doesn't seem to work. tried all iterations
There was a small hint given a few hours ago @light dew ||apparently the unusual capability setting is relevant||
@potent vale Thanks, I will look into it!
Mindgames is the perfect example to remind you that you SHOULD TAKE A BREAK!
@white salmon ask away my man no need to ask if you can
@hasty slate I've been trying to figure out how to get onto the box for the past half an hour and i already feel out of ideas!
ha ha .. I believe getting into the box is the easiest part.. after that it's kinda tricky.. and impossible if you are tired.
@stuck fractal you, sir, are an evil evil person
there is a rabbit hole though, contrary to earlier statements
hello, im currently attempting the Gatekeeper Room and so far i've scanned the open ports. I have managed to ||download gatekeeper.exe|| from ||the share USERS|| with the ||smbclient|| command but now im so clueless as to what i should do. I dont know if this has anything to do with ||reverse-engineering|| but if it does i don't know much about it. Could someone point me in the right direction??? Am i supposed to examine it with something??? im so lost?
How do I block out my text so I can give a basic mindgames hint?
still kicking myself for not seeing it earlier
Just pm me if you are stuck at the beginning and stuck on enumerating if you want a hint for mindgames
||spoiler tags are like this||
@ripe hedge I didn't put a rabbit hole in there, so it's one that you've manufactured. DM me how you rooted it
@stuck fractal you blocked DMs, probably a good idea
still kicking myself for not seeing it earlier
@ripe hedge same XD
I'm trying the mrrobot ctf and on the second flag. || I've got a username from the dic (removing dupes) and I'm currently enumerating it again for a password but I've been waiting for quite a while... is this a dead end? ||
@zinc oyster Nope
Thanks, I found one of the tools seems way faster than the others so instead of an hour or so of wait it might just be some minutes more
splunk room only missing question 21 in task 2 any one has an hint ?
@zinc oyster not a dead end BUT u missed some trivial thing on your previous steps.
||which couldve cut down the cracking to none||
@zinc oyster || make the dict only unique words ||
@obtuse osprey || youβre one the right track that you have to reverse engineer it! Iβd recommend the x86/63 room and then the bof1 room to get an idea of how to do that. After that Iβd watch a walkthrough of an actual BoF cuz itβs pretty systematic and the only way to learn it is to see one ||
I got into the machine now thanks for the help
I had no idea the || metasploit rpc user/password enumeration and the hydra way was about 10-50x slower than wpscan || lesson well learned
um, privesc on mindgames, i feel like i'm deep in a rabbit hole
a break might be a good idea π€
take a break
Take a break.
haha
mind games π€―
Why is it that a ping sweep with fping and nmap may give you a different number of alive hosts
Don't they do the same thing? Send ICMP packets?
is o*l is a right direction for PE in mindgame room? Looks like it have suid bit set ? Thank you in advance ?
@lyric steeple There are no (intended) rabbit holes in this room, so if you find something highly unusual it should be useful. That was also confirmed as a hint a few hours ago. Use the search or scroll up in this channel to read about it.
Thank you @potent vale
And with a few hours I mean like 9. I spent way too much time on that today π©
@potent vale seem I found it but the reverse shell will not bring with root privileges. You mentioned it was not work for you and suddenly it starts. Will Try to figure out why. Thanks again
yeah it was a doozy
Good luck. I think I tried the same what you seem to be doing at the moment. You'll get there eventually.
yeah I tried that angle a few different ways as well
@potent vale thanks
congratz haha i still struggling T_T
@eternal wadi if you find a door just try understand why your payload does not give you a root. What is missed? π Good luck.
Thank you! I will try again
hour 20somethign of my struggles with this esc. so close... just need to sort out that last little bit ... yet htat last little bit is the hardest part
any hints on the wonderland machine? I'm currently ||hatter|| and I'm just completely lost
look at how the various files you have access to work...
i don't wanna give too much of a crazy nudge and get yelled at
Def worth while to look at absolutes though
hmm, thanks
any hints on the wonderland machine? I'm currently ||hatter|| and I'm just completely lost
@bitter shadow I did wonderland after mindgames and becouse of mindgames i got root quite fast. LinPeas should help you with this machine.
any hints on mindgames privesc? I think it's something with the ca********** of the s***** file but can't figure it out
@white salmon run linpeas and try to find something which is unusual. It is a bit tricky to find it and also a bit tricky to use it to get root. First find a door, next check what you need to find a key. Another hint: Why the binary can help you with privilege escalation and why it is not on the list when you trying to find it. Hope it helps
@lyric steeple thanks man i think i know what you mean i'll take a break and try it in a bit
i need to ask someone about ||bind|| part on privesc for mindgames real quick, who can help?
@lyric steeple
@white salmon
@white salmon good luck
@viral mason enumerate more
wow, how couldn't i think of that
@viral mason still need help?
kinda @runic dune, can i pm?
yeah
yeah
@runic dune can i pm you? stuck on mindgames priv esc
hey i'm just starting and i tried to access shiba1@{machine_ip} and it says access denied because of my public key. any help would be appreciated π
@merry oyster are you connected to the VPN?
yea open vpn. i checked my Network Information and my Internal Virtual IP Address is connected
I did the room not long ago. Perhaps you have some ssh configuration that demands the use of public keys? Google how to override that
Maybe that works
okay i'll look into it.
yea I have been looking to no avail i restarted the vm and it asked me to say yes to the key and then said denied again
Or PuTTy?
Mindgames has this very weird But very simple privesc .. any normal enum script like linpeas or linenum should point out the weird things
Hi guys, I am still on Peak-Hill but I just can't' understand the last program that we have to exploit. Not sure what input I should put in to that program to gain code execution.
What does wheat farm grow?
or what does corn farm grow?
wheat and corn?
lol X farm grows X
Mindgames has this very weird But very simple privesc .. any normal enum script like linpeas or linenum should point out the weird things
@hasty slate still stuck. Been googling for hours now
maybe the first result(or the site we all go to for information regarding binary) u got was all u needed.
All of these people have made it onto the machine, yet i'm still trying to work that out lmao
@burnt cosmos You're pre-flag1? I guess we can give hints for that one by now.
Btw I was PMed by multiple people over night who solved it minutes later. Someone seems to be giving huge hints privately.
The bit I'm stuck on at the minute is figuring what it's encoded in, at first i thought ||morse code|| but there's too many characters for it to work
maybe ctf100 can help you out with that.
yeah.. u'll get it pretty fast tho .. cheers
or did u solve year of the rabbit?
@burnt cosmos
I haven't done Year of the Rabbit yet either
maybe u can check that out too.. it is shorter
Alright great, ty for the help :D
Working my way through Stage 4 of CTF 100, when ||extracting everything from 4.jpg ||, anything within the "Moreflag", all the files are empty but show as downloaded. Any tips for fixing it??
@bitter shadow I did wonderland after mindgames and becouse of mindgames i got root quite fast. LinPeas should help you with this machine.
@lyric steeple yea I just went to sleep last night
lol
@burnt cosmos it was in stage 1 itself tho
Yeah i went back and realised it, i got really into it though. Starting to make progress on Mindgames though
lol nice
hey i wanted help regarding the room jack-of-all-trades i can't really get anything out of it i scanned it using nmap and got ports ||22|| and ||80|| but ||22|| is ||http|| and another one is ||ssh|| so can't really open in web ,need help
yes
so open port ||22 in firefox||.. u have to change setting in ||about:config||.. google
okay i will check how to do it, thank you so much

@tidal sedge I've downloaded all the files onto my system, I'll go back and have a look at it later
Off to a other day of that privesc. Let's see how many more times I can type in the same things today
hey there anyone mind giving me some nudge for wonderland? im stucked after following the rabbit. found a hidden paragraph in the source code but cant really figure it out what's that poem mean. Did some google search on it too and im lost now
@dense marlin After following the rabbit, check the ||source code||
@tidal sedge i'm not sure about that, i've did some research on the ||crocodile|| poem for past few hrs and cant really find out how to improve it's tail
||Focus on the rabbit.||
||poem is irrelevant||
i'll try and see thanks for the nudge
Run an nmap scan
i tried looking in Program files (x86)
@eternal brook It's going to be a process that's running, have you tried running something like winPeas?
yes i ran that...
i know the processs its'mess***.exe
but cant get the answer to abnormal service running
If you know the binary you need to exploit, then you know the abnormal service running
Think about how you got to where you are
its Sche*****?
sys**** Sche***** i guess but it's not aceptiing that ans the hint also point that way
points
Ack im stuck on hatter, and none of the previous hints has helped.
Hi just doing the RPBurpsuite and im stuck an a question. I have been reading through loads of burpsuite documentation and the Bit-level analysis tab on burp ad i cant seem to find what 5 letter word the rooms is after?

@spiral stag ?
||There's a suspicious capability ||which is a confirmed hint.
i've been starring at that one for 2 days now
Strange files on ||server.service||
I don't know how James planned the end of his 2 day embargo. Surely a better hint will be public soon.
im going to feel so stupid when he does
@spiral stag mindgames ?
Level insane in privileges escalation π
It's simpler than some approaches you had if you worked on this for two days
Actually not much harder than most "standard" privescs on THM. It's just like it was designed to make the usual approach fail.
Yes. You can also PM me with your currebt idea if you're totally stuck @spiral stag
thnx!
When do rank update here from the website?
You have to update it manually by re-dming the bot with your token @white salmon
It's manual for now, but will be automatic in the near future
Ok thanks!
hello.im trying to complete the room "Learn Linux" and im stuck at last task.Bonus Challenge - The True Ending.Can anybody give me a hint ?
Heey!
I can, it's actually pretty easy.
Try to look for the files that each users have access to.
ok.i will try this. thx π
If you need a write-up there is one on the top of the room page.
hi everybody. Somebody here for the CC: Ghidra. I'm stuck at task 4, the second question. I have all the other but can't find this one. Thank you!!!
hello guys, im a bit stuck doing "agent sudo"
im currently trying to complete "steg password" task
Explain a little what's going on there please.
oh that one
i used binwalk to extract the image
which outputs a zip
extracted the inside with john
sounds about right
hnmm...
sooo, how r u gonna crack it?
oh wait
I think john can
use hashcat maybe.. if you have a good gpu.
nice!
Any hint about Mindgames?

π


any robots around here?
task 17
literally can't hear a thing
Any hint about Mindgames?
@solar sage yeaaaa goodluck
Carpe Diem supposed to be the weekly challenge?
Wondering the same thing, since I don't see anything on /releases
@normal peak Carpe Diem meant to be on releases?
@normal peak Carpe Diem meant to be on releases?
@inland onyx I didn't release the machine today
also been 2 days.... looking for someone who wants to put up that sweet sweet writeup for mindgames π (or just talk me through what the heck i am missing on the esk)
@tacit roost will know more about it:)
anyone for carp diem ?
@sacred lynx top tip: it's uncommon for anyone to give hints for really new boxes. Best waiting a few days until the competition has died down.
now just weirdo behavior .. just want to confirm
@inland onyx Figured out .. fresh mashin will help π
any recommended subs domain fuzzer? for cmess room
ermmm need better wordlist.. i will try first
wfuzz works well enough.
yea i used wfuzz.. been using gobuster but something wrong
Hi!
I'm on the EternalBlue room, the exploit keeps failing ,what am I supposed to do, I tried restarting the machine.
Make sure the ip/port is correct, your vpn is working fine and youβre using the correct exploit for external blue otherwise it could just be eternalblue being eternal blue in which chase just keep trying,
this ^
Then I suppose It's the eternal blue being weird..
Eternal blue is unreliable. Just reset the box and try again π
I restared the machine again, now I'm rescanning to make sure everything's fine.
π it's a windows box so give it closer towards 5 minutes before sending the payload too
Also thereβs a few different exploits in Metasploit for eternal blue make sure youβve selected the correct one
Let's give it a quick go again
Is it just not executing or are you not getting a reverse shell?
I did like 5 seconds ago, when 'triggering free of corrupted buffer' it fails.
It is not successfully executing , it fails at that point.
It's the second restart...
π¦
It's really 50/50
it's not TryHackMe's fault actually
@glossy basin Yea, I know..
Although itβs definitely unstable, the only time Iβve ever gotten a fail is when I tried popping a meter-Peter shell 
It's really 50/50
fair enough
can we fix it? i don't think we can actually
Dark would have done it already
Nah
I saw that @alpine kelp video on EternalBlue, also took him some time.
It's with how the exploit works
yeah
or doesn't I guess 


@white salmon whenever ol eternal blue isnt wanting to play nice, i just close metasploit and relaunch it and i feel i have better luck with it
@sweet socket I'll try that.
i may just be dumb and wasting more time doing it but i havent had to try more than twice doing it
I mean, I know how to do it, but it's annoying
its so much fun seeing that "C:(L)Users\ " prompt pop up though
i think the hack came from the NSA too or at least was based off an NSA hack that was leaked/sold online

I was so disappointed by the Mr.Robot ending.
They ruined the show in 2 episodes.
i still havent even finished season 2
Oh, then you'll love it until the end.
The show literally got me 'OH WOW THIS IS SO REALISTIC!'.
'HE DOESN'T HAVE A HACKER THEME AND A MATRIX SCREEEN WWOOOOOOW'.
im a bit more partial to the movie 'Hackers', this scene is much more accurate than anything in mr.robot
Dade Murphy (Jonny Lee Miller) fights with "Acid Burn" over OTV programming.
pls no ban me if we cant post dumb videos in here
btw, the exploit is still failing after every thing I redid.
Hackers is sick though
I'm just trying and I've done it three times in a row with the THM Kali (not able to use mine atm)
I have an idea hang on
I take it you're not subscribed given your role (or lack of I guess)?
No. I'm Not.
I want to, but I'll probably subscribe later, when i feel like It will be necessary.
Exactly.
can i get an elevated role here if im subbed?
DM the bot with your discord token from your THM profile in the "Other" tab @sweet socket
It'll sync your THM profile w/ your Discord
thx m8, saving people like me from reading the instructions everywhere
Stupid exploit, I'll try later..
Mhm yeah I can do it okay on my non-sub @white salmon I can only suggest confirming settings (which looked right)
Try this too
!multivpn
β’ Step 1
Type ps aux | grep openvpn into your terminal and press enter
β’ Step 2
If there's more than one line (and the second doesn't have "grep" in it), do the following steps
β’ Step 3
Type killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter
β’ Step 4
Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>
From TryHackMe with β€!
Ok, gotta go, thanks for the tips.
π hopefully it works next time around

Stupid EternalBlue ain't working.
hey I'm on skynet I got a log.txt file with a list of password i tried brute forcing it with username miles
but got a lsit of valid password that aint logging in with
3 Restarts of the machine, and msfupdate.
try decrypting again,
could be 2x ecrypted.
or you got the wrong encryption. (very less likely.).
can you send a screenshot?
this the log file i found from smb
tried brute forcing with username mile and it returned these many pass .....but whne i tried to login it did not work
Look at what url it's attacking, I've got the same problem on other room
Maybe the hydra room could help a bit
Sorry, Swafox. I've helped once more in the hints channel (I'll ensure next time won't happen) :)
ok thanks mate i check it
I'm working on The Blue room too, but I'm having issues with the exploit.
@white salmon where is the problem
I sent a screenshot.
re send
did u fill up everything
in show options
the RHOST
and stuffs
r u connected to the vpn
?
@white salmon
He could nmap the machine so yeah
type sessions
in mfsconsole
and check if he creted session
no he dont
@white salmon db_nmap it
and then load the exploit and set stuffs
I did!
Can't you see in the screenshot..? π«
It connects to target!
But the exploit fails at a point.
yep.
have u tried change exploit?
let me check
The Win8 one is not working.
Sooo, I'll just quit it..
payload/generic/shell_reverse_tcp i've got this payload on try with this
...
i don't think this will change
@white salmon I will have ago at it myself now see if It works, send me a picture of your msf options
try to unload the payload
don't use meterpreter payload
I could never get a shell with it
try setting the payload to generic/shell_reverse_tcp
that's what it is default, and I just popped a shell first attempt with it.
@wraith marsh can u help me? i got problem in the blue room task 5
i dont know where to start
I hit run. Brb.
@teal hull Did you check the hint?
yes
Okay, so the hint is can you C it?
Where would you find C on a windows machine π
main disk?
Did you try resetting the box?
and then do it again with generic reverse tcp
@wraith marsh i found the 1st and 2nd flags, but i'm checking manually
Just new to TryHackMe and I run into these stupid issues.
nice!
freaking retarted i'm
@white salmon wait 5-10 minuts and try again
Yea..
Yey, the fifth time.
Still not working?
Nope...
Hmm
terminate and restart the machine
@teal hull did u tried this?
5 times.
anydesk is a software like teamviewer
no non on
i want to help u
cause for me work
and not for u
did u change the ip when restart the machine?
restarte ur pc.. π
Believe it or not, I did.
@wraith marsh i found the flags but how to open it?
I'm in a Kali VM exploiting Again...
Nope
Not working..
Been trying since this morning..

@sweet socket favorite part of that scene is when he types "mess with thebest die like the rest" yet he types it at like ... 3 words per minute.. actually the whole thing he types at like 3 words a minute
Dade Murphy (Jonny Lee Miller) fights with "Acid Burn" over OTV programming.
Hi did anyone tried the Volatility room? Can't seem to find the type of malware in the report.
Hey, guys. Can someone give me a small nudge about Wonderland? Can I privesc from rabbit to hatter without knowledge of reverse engineering and low level exploitation?
You can, yes
Look closely at what the script is actually doing
strings is enough to exploit it -- no advanced RE required
Can I get a quick tip on LazyAdmin Room?
Best just asking π
?
As in, what exactly are you stuck with
Oh I just started and I'm a little confused where to start..
hy guys. any hint for ignite room π i am noob on PE.
Rn I'm running hydra and dirb on the IP.
hy i have done lazyadmin, where are you stuck?
nmap says it's down..
but the apache web works.
and now I'm running hydra on ssh and dirb on apache.
but they also say it's down.
is your vpn working?
yep.
maybe your machine terminated and 1 hour has passed?
nope.
the apache web works.
nmap with -Pn works.
but hydra and dirb nope.
I am noob on PE, so idk how to get root access there. Can you give me hint for that?
I already got user flag
Oh.
Escalate privilages.
do 'sudo -l'.
to see what you can do.
as a user.
and go from there.
search in files you will probably find something interestring
@white salmon try restarting your room
also check out Linux Privesc Playground.
@white salmon try restarting your room
@buoyant hatch It's ok now.
PE is basically just doing recon as a user instead of no user
if it is empty check files.
@plush estuary Thanks π
use find and grep to see all the files you have access to.
@white salmon Thanks Myan
My tip is to find out-of date software and misconfigured binary
I like The Linux Privesc Playground Room, it has like 80 ways to escalate.
wtf is that carpe-diem room? Congrats on the guy that made it
the stupid target machine on LazyAdmin keeps crashing.....
any hints for hidden directory in skynet
cant find anything that matches answers using dirbuster
gobuster also check.
it not syuirrelmail right?
also use your brain, I mean check for words on the website that might be the names.
i tried gobuster too
And you had to do like http://8.8.8.8/e/l/t/o/n/.
You got it?
trying
You gave me an idea, rn I'm making my own dirbuster,
sooo.. yep.
I already made a request handler in python.
Thanks Guys, I am done with that room
there was a file which gave me credential of root
oh, so easy.
Lesson: Never ignore any text LMAO
sure bro
^^^^
I found 3 ways to leak the flag.
The machine is unstable.
I'm working on a directory buster in python.
I like making my own tools, it's cool.

have been putting off daily bugle for awhile because i am not a fan of SQLi, but went to do it and tried using ||the joomblah.py script|| but it errors out (issue posted on github but not fixed). anyone have an idea on how long ||sqlmap|| will take to || enumerate the db||??
Password: )s{A&2Z=F^n_E.B` i think password is encrypted can anyone tell how to decrypt it
any hints
have you tried to use it as it is?
it did not work
i tried
it clearly says this is the password so i think it might be encrpyted
what room is that from?
That looks right. You should delete that line.
- saves password *
milesdyson is the only possible samba share available
i tried that pass on it only
i also found a binary file has it something to with this?
@eternal brook that password is not encrypted
@obsidian cradle try using the other python version. The script works for me. Sqlmap if doing time based sqli takes about an hour for me
On that room
@eternal brook youβre just getting the username wrong or using the password somewhere incorrectly. But that password is definitely correct
@obsidian cradle try using the other python version. The script works for me. Sqlmap if doing time based sqli takes about an hour for me
@oblique cliff what do you mean other python version?
i tried with python 3.8/3.7/3.5
So try with python 2
its not written in python2
Whatβs the error youβre getting?
traceback and type error
File "joomblah.py", line 186, in

smbclient //10.10.112.151/milesdyson im using this to login i also tried ssh but its not working @oblique cliff
it says access denied
2 tips....man page and delete or obfuscate spoilers
Where is @minor bough discord channel? The room says "DM me in my discord channel" but I don't see a dark discord channel.
Which room?
CTF100
I'm not responsible for that room, I believe it was created Deskel
Opps, sorry
probably meant private messages
Oh yeah, my bad. For some reason, I thought it was your creation.
No worries
If you need any help just ask here or in #room-help as Deskel went offline few months back
Ok, will do. Thanks!
any hint for python_playground after i login? i have no idea what to do :/
the first one
i can see that i can read every file in the system but i can't find any flag
there should be a user.txt
