||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.

worn cloud
#

||grep -Ril "4bcbe"|| / is not working for me 😦

white salmon
#

ahahaahah

#

thats sad πŸ˜‚

viral mason
#

can anybody nudge me on stage 5's virtual host on CTF 100?

stuck fractal
#

@white salmon nearly, elf

median compass
#

did you find the hidden data in 10.jpg @viral mason? maybe look at that again?

stuck fractal
#

The 2>/dev/null only redirects errors

viral mason
#

ohhhh right. @median compass

median compass
#

happy hunting

viral mason
#

thanks man

white salmon
#

yes its putting errors to /dev/null (which is nothing i think? ) @stuck fractal

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

twilit swallow
#

does anyone know how to open this

wooden mist
#

file?

twilit swallow
#

yeah i get this when i try

#

when I use sudo i get this

lyric steeple
#

has anyone done priv esc for mindgames and can share a hint?

wooden mist
#

@twilit swallow file <filename>

twilit swallow
#

ok ill try

wooden mist
#

well, now you know what it is

twilit swallow
#

is there something i need to install

wooden mist
#

no, it's ASCII text

#

meaning it's a text file

twilit swallow
#

wooow

#

so I could of vi <name of file> this entire time

#

🀦

#

thanks for the help

viral mason
#

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..

wooden mist
#

you can't use it on stage5 right?

#

(I don't remember my whole playthrough)

viral mason
#

what do you mean?

wooden mist
#

oh wait, port knocking order

viral mason
#

i thought it might be ascii but probably it's not

#

yeah the one with 2x3 pairs of chars

wooden mist
#

||you got numbers from the respective sites, each 2 char pair corresponds to a specific site||

viral mason
#

ohhh

#

now i see

#

thanks man o/

white salmon
#

hi all , privesc on mindgames involve reversing or pwning ? thanks

white salmon
#

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.

wooden mist
#

where'd you decode the binary

white salmon
#

Binary to hex website.

#

and then hex to ascii

wooden mist
#

did you just copy the ascii to a file?

white salmon
#

No I saved it.

#

I has all the non-printable characters in it.

wooden mist
#

πŸ€”

#

what's the error?

white salmon
#

Give me a moment.

wooden mist
#

i'd suggest decoding it on a different site (cyberchef maybe), downloading the output and trying again

white salmon
wooden mist
#

oh

#

pls stop using python2

#

use python3

white salmon
#

Ok, I'll try with python3

#

Maybe I need to carve out a pickle?

#

Maybe the real pickle is hidden within the file?

wooden mist
#

that should've worked afaik

white salmon
#

πŸ€”

wooden mist
#

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

white salmon
#

I'll try and decode with cyberchef

wooden mist
#

pls remove, no spoilers

#

tbh also remove the prev file and the code kekw

stuck fractal
#

@white salmon no reversing or binary exploitation (buffer overflow etc) in mind games

white salmon
#

@wooden mist done

wooden mist
#

try decoding again on cyberchef and downloading the input, that should return a valid file

white salmon
#

Just downloaded. Unpickling now.

#

Ok there's the output after downloading from cyberchef

wooden mist
#

you sure that's the one you downloaded?

#

I just did this and it works perfectly

white salmon
#

Really you were able to depickle it?

wooden mist
#

yes

#

without a problem

white salmon
#

That's weird.

#

Let me try again.

#

Which one did you upload?

#

Did you upload the creds or the decodehex file?

wooden mist
#

creds

white salmon
#

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

wooden mist
#

πŸ‘

hasty slate
#

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.

white salmon
#

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.

#

Jeez @steady stratus why are you up so early what time zone are you in

steady stratus
#

I’m in BST (:

#

It’s 11am but I get up really early anyways for work rota’s and things

oblique cliff
#

Oh I take it back then it’s 6 am here πŸ‘€

steady stratus
#

Ahahha - I should be asking you then! πŸ˜›

oblique cliff
#

I’m torn between two answers:
1 I’m asking myself the same thing
2 i sensed people needed my help so I was awoken by their silent calls from discord

steady stratus

Ah yes, those calls huh

oblique cliff

They’re quite loud to the trained ear

steady stratus

Certainly a word for it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Got anything exciting lined up today?

Just work as per usual

I decided actually to not do any hacking today and instead finish charting out 6 songs on bass that I’ve been putting off

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||

spiral stag
#

@mild eagle think about what you might be able to control...

#

no need to alter the executable itself

ripe hedge
#

no hints on rooting mindgames yet, eh?

spiral stag
#

only headaches

#

although i know where the root flag is

#

||/root/root.txt||

ripe hedge
#

yeah well, that was given

spiral stag
#

xD

#

the obvious hint

ripe hedge
#

I just saw an odd capability and a couple odd suid programs, but I can't seem to exploit that

spiral stag
#

yea, tried those aswell

ripe hedge
#

so it's probably nothing

#

well, I hit a dead end anyways

potent vale
#

James mentioned that he didn't include any rabbit holes in that one. So the odd capability must mean something, right? πŸ€”

ripe hedge
#

probably

#

only 2 roots so far if the scoreboard is accurate

inland onyx
#

(That upvote was a hint btw)

potent vale
#

JB's screenshot with the ||modified uid || also hints in that direction

wraith marsh
#

😳

potent vale
#

The plot thickens

ripe hedge
#

oh hmm

#

the ||capa|| is probably what we need, but how the hell can we exploit that... not the easiest binary to exploit

hasty slate
#

maybe it is like the ||lighweight htb box(from researching)|| but cannot do anything 😦

inland onyx
#

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

mild eagle
#

@spiral stag thank you for the hint i Think i Can go On from here.

spiral stag
#

gl!

#

Who said you need to "exploit" it?

thanks but which ip

steady stratus

The anthem instance

#

Enumerating and discovering what ports & services are running is an essential step in pentesting

I feel like i am in a self-inflicted rabbit hole on escalation for mindgames 😦

welcome to the club

is there a CVE attached to your rabbit hole?

we're probably stuck at the same place

can anyone help me about a problem?

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

clever bane
#

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

gaunt herald
#

There is... by learning how internet works, more or less.

clever bane
#

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

glossy basin
#

@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

clever bane
#

Ohh that made more sense

#

So..the IP is the machine IP that was deployed?

gaunt herald
#

Understood!

glossy basin
#

exactly

#

IP of the machine

clever bane
#

Ok

glossy basin
#

@gaunt herald don't get me wrong, you didn't do anything bad or so but this channel is for room helping

clever bane
#

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

glossy basin
#

maybe πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

#

also, if you ever stuck you can easily check writeups for guidance

clever bane
#

Is it possible to banner grab yourself? XD

#

Like our own IP?

glossy basin
#

not sure

clever bane
#

If that doesn't work...
Doing an OS scan should...

glossy basin
#

yeah

clever bane
#

And then u can locate the password folder and then give him his password

glossy basin
#

banner grabbing is not that important for THM but OS nmap scan is important

clever bane
#

Ok gotcha

#

I prefer banner grab as it's passive...but here I guess it's fine to try an os scan

glossy basin
#

good luck

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

oblique cliff
#

@glacial remnant it walks you through what things you need to run, try rereading the prompts

glacial remnant
oblique cliff
#

Binary - shiba2

#

So probably run the shiba2 binary

glacial remnant
#

@oblique cliff Thank you so much! I really don't know why I didn't think of that

I hope they don't help until after nahamcon. I'm out of ideas for now πŸ˜„

ha ha .. I believe getting into the box is the easiest part.. after that it's kinda tricky.. and impossible if you are tired.

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?

runic dune
#

How do I block out my text so I can give a basic mindgames hint?

ripe hedge
#

still kicking myself for not seeing it earlier

runic dune
#

Just pm me if you are stuck at the beginning and stuck on enumerating if you want a hint for mindgames

burnt cosmos
#

Use three pipes

#

But the boxes explicitly asks you not to share hints etc

ripe hedge

||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

@obtuse osprey || you’re one the right track that you have to reverse engineer it! I’d recommend the x86/63 room and then the bof1 room to get an idea of how to do that. After that I’d watch a walkthrough of an actual BoF cuz it’s pretty systematic and the only way to learn it is to see one ||

@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.

@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

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

probably not a hash πŸ™‚

hashes tend to be a fixed size, but also what he said

steady stratus

Definitely not a hash - there's encoding systems that use = as padding. It's a really big giveaway as to what encoding it is πŸ™‚

merry lodge

thanks friends, so how to solve. do you have any idea? πŸ™‚

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.

yea, i usually overthink stuff

you rooted it @potent vale ?

Yes. You can also PM me with your currebt idea if you're totally stuck @spiral stag

white salmon
#

When do rank update here from the website?

steady stratus

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!

white salmon
#

Hi!

#

I'm on the EternalBlue room, the exploit keeps failing ,what am I supposed to do, I tried restarting the machine.

wraith marsh
#

Make sure the ip/port is correct, your vpn is working fine and you’re using the correct exploit for external blue otherwise it could just be eternalblue being eternal blue in which chase just keep trying,

steady stratus
#

this ^

white salmon
#

Then I suppose It's the eternal blue being weird..

wraith marsh
#

Eternal blue is unreliable. Just reset the box and try again πŸ™‚

white salmon
#

I restared the machine again, now I'm rescanning to make sure everything's fine.

steady stratus
#

πŸ‘ it's a windows box so give it closer towards 5 minutes before sending the payload too

wraith marsh
#

Also there’s a few different exploits in Metasploit for eternal blue make sure you’ve selected the correct one

white salmon
#

Yep. The first time I waited like 15 mins.

#

I have, JB.

steady stratus
#

Let's give it a quick go again

#

Is it just not executing or are you not getting a reverse shell?

white salmon
#

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...

glossy basin
#

try again

#

took me 5 times to get it back in the days

white salmon
#

😦

glossy basin
#

it's not TryHackMe's fault actually

#

the thing is unstable by itself

steady stratus
#

It's really 50/50

white salmon
#

it's not TryHackMe's fault actually
@glossy basin Yea, I know..

wraith marsh
#

Although it’s definitely unstable, the only time I’ve ever gotten a fail is when I tried popping a meter-Peter shell kekw

glossy basin
#

It's really 50/50
fair enough

#

can we fix it? i don't think we can actually

#

Dark would have done it already

steady stratus
#

Nah

white salmon
#

I saw that @alpine kelp video on EternalBlue, also took him some time.

steady stratus
#

It's with how the exploit works

glossy basin
#

yeah

steady stratus
#

or doesn't I guess kekw

wraith marsh

sweet socket
#

@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

white salmon
#

@sweet socket I'll try that.

sweet socket
#

i may just be dumb and wasting more time doing it but i havent had to try more than twice doing it

white salmon
#

I mean, I know how to do it, but it's annoying

sweet socket
#

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

white salmon
#

I was so disappointed by the Mr.Robot ending.

#

They ruined the show in 2 episodes.

sweet socket
#

i still havent even finished season 2

white salmon
#

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'.

sweet socket
#

im a bit more partial to the movie 'Hackers', this scene is much more accurate than anything in mr.robot

#

pls no ban me if we cant post dumb videos in here

steady stratus
#

It's okay as long as they're a) PG-13 and b) in #general (:

white salmon
#

btw, the exploit is still failing after every thing I redid.

steady stratus
#

Hackers is sick though

white salmon
#

The most realistic is Hacker 2016.

#

With that carder kid.

steady stratus
#

I'm just trying and I've done it three times in a row with the THM Kali (not able to use mine atm)

white salmon
#

Oh.

#

Damn.

#

I keeps failing...

steady stratus
#

I have an idea hang on

#

I take it you're not subscribed given your role (or lack of I guess)?

white salmon
#

No. I'm Not.

#

I want to, but I'll probably subscribe later, when i feel like It will be necessary.

steady stratus
#

okies ty

#

of course (: plenty of free content too

white salmon
#

Exactly.

sweet socket
#

can i get an elevated role here if im subbed?

steady stratus
#

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

sweet socket
#

thx m8, saving people like me from reading the instructions everywhere

white salmon
#

Stupid exploit, I'll try later..

steady stratus
#

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

proud scarabBOT
#
TryHackMe
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>

white salmon
#

Ok, gotta go, thanks for the tips.

steady stratus
#

πŸ‘ hopefully it works next time around

lean vector

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?

inland onyx
#

You can, yes

#

Look closely at what the script is actually doing

#

strings is enough to exploit it -- no advanced RE required

white salmon
#

Can I get a quick tip on LazyAdmin Room?

inland onyx
#

Best just asking πŸ™‚

white salmon
#

?

inland onyx
#

As in, what exactly are you stuck with

white salmon
#

Oh I just started and I'm a little confused where to start..

buoyant hatch
#

hy guys. any hint for ignite room πŸ™‚ i am noob on PE.

white salmon
#

Rn I'm running hydra and dirb on the IP.

buoyant hatch
#

hy i have done lazyadmin, where are you stuck?

white salmon
#

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.

buoyant hatch
#

is your vpn working?

white salmon
#

yep.

#

maybe your machine terminated and 1 hour has passed?

#

nope.

#

the apache web works.

#

nmap with -Pn works.

buoyant hatch
#

@inland onyx may can help

#

I need help in Ignite 😦

white salmon
#

@buoyant hatch where are you stuck?

#

Still says it's downn....

buoyant hatch
#

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

white salmon
#

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

buoyant hatch
#

@white salmon try restarting your room

white salmon
#

also check out Linux Privesc Playground.

buoyant hatch
#

sudo -l is empty haha

#

sure

white salmon
#

@white salmon try restarting your room
@buoyant hatch It's ok now.

plush estuary
#

PE is basically just doing recon as a user instead of no user

white salmon
#

if it is empty check files.

buoyant hatch
#

@plush estuary Thanks πŸ™‚

white salmon
#

use find and grep to see all the files you have access to.

buoyant hatch
#

@white salmon Thanks Myan

plush estuary
#

My tip is to find out-of date software and misconfigured binary

white salmon
#

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.....

eternal brook
#

buoyant hatch
#

Thanks Guys, I am done with that room

white salmon
#

#

@buoyant hatch how did you escalate?

buoyant hatch

Password: )s{A&2Z=F^n_E.B` i think password is encrypted can anyone tell how to decrypt it

#

any hints

white salmon
#

have you tried to use it as it is?

eternal brook
#

it did not work

#

i tried

#

it clearly says this is the password so i think it might be encrpyted

white salmon
#

what room is that from?

eternal brook
#

skynet

#

from the mail

#

smb password

trim arch
#

That looks right. You should delete that line.

white salmon
#
  • saves password *
trim arch
#

lol

#

It isn't encrypted

#

You probably aren't using the correct username

eternal brook
#

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?

oblique cliff
#

@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 you’re just getting the username wrong or using the password somewhere incorrectly. But that password is definitely correct

obsidian cradle
#

@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

oblique cliff
#

So try with python 2

obsidian cradle
#

its not written in python2

oblique cliff
#

What’s the error you’re getting?

obsidian cradle
#

traceback and type error

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.

minor bough
#

Which room?

trim arch
#

CTF100

minor bough
#

I'm not responsible for that room, I believe it was created Deskel

trim arch
#

Opps, sorry

minor bough
#

I have no clue with regards to his discord channel

#

all good

wooden mist
#

probably meant private messages

minor bough
#

Yeah

#

Deskel isn't active much anymore so it's going to be hard to get ahold of them

trim arch
#

Oh yeah, my bad. For some reason, I thought it was your creation.

minor bough
#

No worries

wooden mist
#

If you need any help just ask here or in #room-help as Deskel went offline few months back

trim arch
#

Ok, will do. Thanks!

white salmon
