Let say that I have improved it ...
stiff egret
sh*t
keen grove
Does KOTH have a random pool of boxes or is it the same everytime?
quiet schooner
7 boxes
keen grove
Ah okay so it is a detriment to have never played
nova tide
will be back in a minute
rancid pewter
So how is tetris ?
keen grove
hahahaha
stiff egret
dealing with it
quiet schooner
I enjoy tetris.
keen grove
lmao the controls suck honestly
rancid pewter
You can use the arrow key
rancid pewter
You need a tty
stiff egret
He got us so busy in keeping the terminals, that we cant defence or attack., like one at a time
nova tide
So how is tetris ?
@rancid pewter its fun. i won tetris now got nyaned
rancid pewter
Really ?
nova tide
i am good at tetris
stiff egret
lmao
rancid pewter
How many point did you get ?
rancid pewter
You got the message that you win but still get the nyancat ?

What the point of playing if essential programs are moved and someone like myDonut keeps messing with the tty and people use scripts..... Are you really learning? or just seeing who can memorize the machine and type or copy/paste stuff faster?
keen grove
Whats the trick for stopping us from editing king.txt ^^
thought it was chattr but someone removed lol
nova tide
What the point of playing if essential programs are moved and someone like myDonut keeps messing with the tty and people use scripts..... Are you really learning? or just seeing who can memorize the machine and type or copy/paste stuff faster?
@winter nest Thats the fun part
keen grove
yeah writing tools to automate the process is kind of the challenge
winter nest
Not really because once you get user then they patch all the essential ways to priv esc then what now sit in user with my one flag?
keen grove
still people have been pretty chill in this game not really messing with anyone
root is still unpatched
?
no one patched my route lol
winter nest
I usually try to patch the bugs... Also I'm in a game with myDonut and Optional and some other people and its just a bunch of "F**** you " in messages
nova tide
@winter nest I don't put up any defences
@stiff egret but the script takes an hour to bypass? LOL
keen grove
what script?
nova tide
@stiff egret ^^
stiff egret
I dont put up defences, so its a race of scripting
winter nest
Not really a race....
Just who can get user then transfer the script and run it faster
stiff egret
yOU
I can see you, just not kicking.
Reason? Scripting race.
you have a chance to bypass.
keen grove
ya that ones me ^^
winter nest
I assume you are refering to me @stiff egret
stiff egret
Both of you.
winter nest
Im not in your game
stiff egret
Then @keen grove
nova tide

ooo learnt alot about this king keeping strat ty ^^

I still have my shell
I dont know what yall are doing to this koth game to make it so bad I literally cant do anything

Oof

When you are pretty positive you have the right exploit as well as priv esc but you cant pull it off because you cant connect to anything

Who are the people in ur game?
void rivet
What's there names
winged charm
NITE, WhiteDevil206, Flek, HyperSpoke
Just need one more person to reset the box and hopefully that fixes it but its honestly just waiting for it to fix itself at this point
void rivet
Yh lol
winged charm
wait did I...
Hey @mellow bough or @lusty portal can I dm one of you I think I might have crashed the koth game but I dont want to say how

@dapper escarp how did ur OSCP go?
dapper escarp
oooof that's hard
yeah it went well, just waiting on the email saying whether it was pass or fail
void rivet
Nice dude, did ur wifi cut out at all?
dapper escarp
4 times
void rivet
Oooof
dapper escarp
god bless virgin media
void rivet
Bet u were pissed
dapper escarp
Kinda, it only started when I was on priv esc for the last box
void rivet
Oh fair enough
dapper escarp
so wasn't the end of the world, so just popped mobile data
dapper escarp
Not really, the only one that seemed hard was the other 25 pointer (I didn't do that one)
didn't even look at it
void rivet
Lol why?
dapper escarp
Already had the passing marks so focused the time on my report, gathering screenshots and info needed
void rivet
Fair enough
How much detail did u have to go into on ur report? Did u have to write about why u did the things u did and what it resulted in?
dapper escarp
No, the detail put in was how someone could follow the screenshots to complete the poc
void rivet
Oh ok, so kinda like reporting a bug or a flaw?
dapper escarp
the majority of the detail is in the images
void rivet
Ahh alright
fair adder
yeah that's kinda the problem for most people around here
void rivet
I've got enough money saved up but it's not a small amiunt of monry, £1000 for me is a lot, so I would rather wait till I'm more experienced than pay another £200 for the resit
fair adder
smart decision

I'm applying for a cyber security apprenticeship in September, just need this covid 19 stuff to go away otherwise they are postponing the apply date

Lol

its 800 pounds for 30 days right
fair adder
now optional here is a master degenerate
void rivet
😂
fair adder
so he degened the hell out of those labs
void rivet
Lol
dapper escarp
@fair adder I actually didn't
fair adder
my mistake erase that second line
optional is still a master degenerate tho
❤️ @dapper escarp
void rivet
A month ago I couldn't even do a box by myself, always had to ask for help, but now I can do new machines without any assistance, so I'm doin something right
dapper escarp
Certainly on the right path
void rivet
😂😂😂
void rivet
Nootnoot
fair adder
ive got a while true loop running on optional right now
taking up like 100% of my resources
void rivet
😂😂
void rivet
100%
fair adder
that's the spirit!
void rivet
Hehe
I've kinda stopped doing koth games atm, gonna wait till there is a few more new machines, no5 fair on others because I already know how to root all those machines
So I'm just gonna start doing the learning paths
void rivet
😂😂😂
fair adder
I'm a man of equality, and i don't like having advantages over all my opponents, so I'll let optional join and give him an autopwn script for the box
just so it's fair
void rivet
😂
fair adder
Note: if optional wins it still counts as a loss for you
void rivet
How do u even make boxes? Always wanted to do it but never known where to start
dapper escarp
Create a vm
fair adder
quiet schooner
@fair adder docs.tryhackme.com
void rivet
Ahh ok
quiet schooner
I have a PR waiting on that page tho
quiet schooner
Those got special approval
fair adder
(Yes I read that those got approval)
quiet schooner
Because we love your rooms
fair adder
We love ur rooms too Jamesy
void rivet
How long on average does it take for u to make a box then? Few hours or few days?
fair adder
See
quiet schooner
You ain't seen half of em @fair adder
fair adder
here's my schedule
quiet schooner
Wake up. Work on THM. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
fair adder
Spend 3 and a half weeks complaining about hard this box is gonna be to make/just be lazy
spend half a week making the box
dapper escarp
also depends on whether walkthrough or challenge
fair adder
that's not even a joke either, that's how zthlinux was produced
dapper escarp
I can confirm that ^
void rivet
Before this lockdown I barley went outside, now I'm waking up at 4am to go out 😂 💀
fair adder
mhm optional has those dm logs
void rivet
Could be a fun project to make a box though, I'll give it a go
fair adder
it's a joy
remember if you wanna make it public
it's gonna go through our review process
so make it good
void rivet
Hehe yh
void rivet
Oof😂
fair adder
I'll then proceed to blackmail you, saying if you want that box released, you forfeit the battle for the names
void rivet
Never
void rivet
😂😂😂😂
fair adder
Already knew that was James
dapper escarp
Pars
fair adder
before I even looked at who did it
dapper escarp
you miss commas like no tomorrow
fair adder
ok listen here
dapper escarp
don't be a hypocrite 😂
void rivet
XD
fair adder
honestly optional
I thought James was gonna say that
besidesss read the context
I only said I would be so harsh because he declined to forfeit the battle
void rivet
I will never give up my name
fair adder
not with that attitude
void rivet
😂😂😂
I have to do college work but idk if I want to atm
I just got paid so I might just find random stuff to buy
fair adder
I just leave everything to the last minute
dapper escarp
same
void rivet
Yh my deadline is 4pm today
dapper escarp
have three deadlines due next week roughly
void rivet
Legit I took this IT course because the guy bigged it up so much, saying we are going to be taking apart computers and that,but all we have done is made a website with wix and now doing podcasts
fair adder
you could buy a year long subscription to THM 😁
fair adder

Oh wait rlly? That's actually rlly good

newbie here, what rooms would you say are the most essential to complete before trying KOTH?
keen grove
Theres no issue with just playing KOTH honestly
Ive only done 1 match on Shrek but that box was like below beginner level of difficulty
and there are so many different routes so you are bound to learn something on it
sterile locust
cool, i'll give it a try
i haven't done much pentesting, focusing much more in CTFs
but wanted to try KOTH as practice for AD ctf's
keen grove
for active directory?
check the box list as there is only 1 windows box on the pool of boxes
you would be better doing some of the active hackthebox boxes for AD
sterile locust
for attack defense

are you allowed to script writing to king.txt
full grove
i don't believe we have any rules against it at the moment
keen grove
I suppose it is a whole part of the game, monitoring scripts and killing them off ^^
nimble tangle
Using a script to modify king.txt is perfectly fine
stiff egret
@fair adder Sup? xD
fair adder
@stiff egret You are reported 😄
stiff egret
Why the he..??
weary kindle
They're not doing anything wrong
fair adder
i can't type anything smhhh

Just because you can't patch it doesn't mean they're breaking the rules smh

MY script triggred chattr rabithole, not my fault.
Even I clicked on reset.
*Accidently
weary kindle
@stiff egret lemme guess, you're running something like this:

Yeah, chattr is very sneaky on Prod
stiff egret
Hence, Not my fault
Yeah, chattr is very sneaky on Prod
@weary kindle I forgot to upload mine before loop
terse willow
@fair adder yeah, please don't report people if they aren't actually breaking the rules.
That's part of the game. If you can't deal with it, I would suggest learning how..
stiff egret
@terse willow Thanks, Phewww
stiff egret
I was almost writing an email, saying sorry
terse willow
Unless the rules have been updated without me noticing (which, granted, is not impossible), TTY spamming is not against the rules. Dan, would you agree?
weary kindle
They never said anything about it when I submitted that box, so no
weary kindle
You can disable wall
terse willow
@fair adder the rules are literally written on the Koth page
keen grove
chattr trick is kinda easy to work out too
you see it once and 1 google and you have the trick lol
terse willow
And that's not an attack on your PC
fair adder
i mean it isn't dirrectly
keen grove
if you disconnect from the box and have no issues, you definitely haven't been attacked ^^
its just an attack on the box
weary kindle
It'll likely be lag from a load of traffic and characters
Good
You need to be evil in KoTH to win

Expect to see some C2 implants on the boxes

@stiff egret what are you learning how to download better scripts ?

I dont defend until someone is like in king and killing me

you mean offline?
nova tide
yeah
fair adder
@nova tidei truly havent
nova tide
Well it would be fun to play then LOL. you will be playing video games instead of koth

I’ve only had the box once
So not had the chance
I just get shrek all the god damn time
weary kindle
Different flags have different weight
nova tide
ohk
stiff egret
Different flags have different weight
@weary kindle Ah, that I didnt know
void rivet
yhhh
nova tide
yeah flags points make sense but 50 points difference?
void rivet
i wanna see dan vs optional on Offline
weary kindle
Does the box only have 5 flags?
nova tide
well its not me i was just spectating
void rivet
if theres one in root isnt that worth more points
weary kindle
Flags can be worth the following:
- 25
- 50
- 75
- 100
Every minute of king time is worth 10
Box creators decide the value of each flag
nova tide
umm ok
vale summit
nova tide
@astral belfry can you share the room invite please?
astral belfry
please reset 👍
astral belfry
Alright so who booted me off the box?
astral belfry
Well someone up'd the timeout for ssh or wrote an automated script to cut ssh. Then someone killed my shell and shut down my backdoor
nova tide
or removed your account?
astral belfry
But GGs
nova tide
never make an account with the same name
try to be cheeky xD
setting name like a service or something may help your account to last longer
astral belfry
I mean it lasted a while before you got on the box ;P but yeah I see what you're saying
nova tide
well it was a good trick to set up your account
but you should make it as a root acccount
give all privilieges if gonna take your time to make one
it was just another simple user i think
astral belfry
my account was root
astral belfry
but you're right I didn't really protect the user or the backdoor
nova tide
can someone try joining a public game?
astral belfry

The sequel is just being tested RN
Sequel in spirit
fair adder
@quiet schooner can i ask you something
quiet schooner
@fair adder Do you know how useless that question is?
fair adder
okay james sorry i won't ask you
quiet schooner
You can probably ask me a question, but it heavily depends on what the question is.
And asking someone "can I ask you a question?" is a waste of time for everyone involved
terse willow
^^
It also defeats the purpose of asking for permission, because you're asking permission to do something you've already done
quiet schooner
@fair adder At this point, just ask. I can't promise an answer
dapper escarp
@fair adder Ima be honest man, it doesn’t seem like koth is the place for you. You give up too easily
fair adder
@quiet schooner the question i have is What is the point of playing koth if there is a guy running script as soon as the box is up and getting root in like 20 sec ?
i just wonder that
quiet schooner
If it's SpaceJam, they're not running a script
weary kindle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53zkBvL4ZB4 gonna plop this down again
fair adder
@quiet schooner mhm
quiet schooner
You need to enumerate harder
fair adder
oh you mean i need to download scripts from github?
fair adder
nah
its my bad for asking this stupid question
sry
and yes i just wasted your time
quiet schooner
Spacejam can be rooted essentially as soon as it's fully booted
You just gotta find out how
fair adder
im not talking about spacejam
astral belfry
Same with Panda
fair adder
any other room you find i can't even do a nmap scan on it
quiet schooner
huh?
fair adder
and this guys alredy running some space craft scripts from github to get theroot
and paaf 30 sec max passed he is root
1 m passed he changed ssh password
short tusk
Think like root and you shall be root
quiet schooner
What box?
fair adder
2m passed i can't do anything even if i wanted to...
quiet schooner
Sounds like you need to practice more first
fair adder
im enlightened
quiet schooner
Do more rooms
Learn more techniques
Practice those that you already know
That's the only way you can get better
Trying harder, and trying to learn
fair adder
i liturally
right now
think
that you think
that i have
0 brain cells.
complicated O.o
terse willow
@fair adder If there are scripts on Github, please let us know..
quiet schooner
It just sounds like you're not trying harder
fair adder
@terse willow if i find them and even if you remove them you didn't solve anything smh its still there
@quiet schooner mhm ok
i think i will be better if i go to sleep now so i can come here tommarow calm and ready to start all over again
cuz if i start a fight with any of you i will get banned and idk even what so just gonna pass that 😄
weary kindle
If I spent hours of my time actually understanding how a box worked, and making a script, why on earth would I upload it to GitHub so people like you could just blindly run it without understanding what it's actually doing, defeating the point of even playing KoTH
quiet schooner
wat
weary kindle
Did you even read what I said
astral belfry
GG @nova tide again
fair adder
just you know execute the script the one that has better script wins jeez
weary kindle
Y'all think that me and optional use scripts even when we're streaming, so you've got no place to talk about scripts
Legit
We can do it manually
Right in front of your eyes
fair adder
@weary kindle i don't watch neither you or hem 😂
weary kindle
And we still get called out
nova tide
well i have history for my commands i ran
i can share if someone wants/allows
history of root and the use i got in through
nova tide
no write up.. the command history/ bash history i think you call that
fair adder
meh this is pointless for me.. @weary kindle i don't really know how you found your self offended here but if i offended you sry... anyway guys good night 🙂
nova tide
i believe everyone here knows getting king in 2 minutes isn't impossible. even could be done under a minute in some rooms like space jam
fair adder
mhm
nova tide
i voted, reset if the 4th guy wants
hard condor
Nah, looks like Nate is afk
quiet schooner
Ooh it's Food
Nice.
I won't hack it then
I thought skidy added a leave feature
Or maybe that was only before games started
nova tide
you gonna lose from me then 😛
quiet schooner
@nova tide Considering I have the flags, writeup, passwords and everything else in a doc here, I think it'd be unfair to hack it
nova tide
well i would win anyways
terse willow
(James literally made the thing 😁)
fair adder
so cooool
nova tide
well he can't undo the 46 minutes king
fair adder
i bet he can
terse willow
.. Fair point.
Guarantee he could chuck you out though 😁
hard condor
Yeah, I'm 5 flags in with King, and @nova tide still has me by over 400 points 😂
That was a fun box!
fair adder
@nova tide you gonna be playing more cuz i guess i will
terse willow
Put it this way -- one of the next rotation is mine. There's a reason I'm not going to be playing it; mainly because I built it, know every fix, and have an autopwn for it that'll literally lock it down and chuck everyone else out
It would not be fair
nova tide
well that may be bad move but after 30 minutes i just closed all ports so it had to be a reset
terse willow
Yeah, please don't do that -- breach of rules and all..
fair adder
muri and his 120 lines of code for kicking everybody off and locking stuff
nova tide
@nova tide you gonna be playing more cuz i guess i will
@fair adder i have to eat soon for fast
Yeah, please don't do that -- breach of rules and all..
@terse willow didnt broke any rule
quiet schooner
Closing ports is a rule break
terse willow
Closing off ports, last I checked, was not allowed
nova tide
well i have seen a ton of people doing that
fair adder
@nova tide No modifying/removing flags
terse willow
@fair adder -- you have no idea how tricky that was, given the thing autogens stuff
nova tide
in rules it only says not to close 9999
fair adder
@terse willow i feel you.
terse willow
Not yet you don't -- I don't believe any in this rotation are dynamic...
fair adder
mhm @nova tide you locked ssh
nova tide
i changed password for user you were coming through mate
quiet schooner
That's allowed
nova tide
in that game i didnt closed any port
terse willow
@nova tide it falls under denial of service.
Put it this way -- the box has to remain fully functional. You can't just close SSH, or turn off a webserver in real life. As long as everything is still accessible (patched or not), it's Ok.
If people are in breach of that, email koth@tryhackme.com
quiet schooner

But don't stoop to the same level
nova tide
well this was the first room i closed ports.. i was just trying to find a way how to close them..
terse willow
Yeah, sorry, that's a better way of phrasing it ^^
nova tide
just found a working method
nova tide
i believe others should also follow that? like myDonut or others?
i have been in games and faced ports being closed
fair adder
thats so scary
terse willow
Again @nova tide -- email koth@tryhackme.com if someone's breaking the rules
quiet schooner
@terse willow I've mentioned that wording to skidy, and he agrees
terse willow
Honestly, it all needs to be clearly defined
I believe there's a rewrite of the rules coming soon, as per what James is saying 🙂
fair adder
kinda forgotten that you are james 😭 not really good with names
nova tide
well in my defence i only did it this once and already had everything patched up so no one would be able to come in anyways. open ports or not
fair adder
so my neighbor was coming to me for like 1 week and yasterday my mom told me i was calling her kid whole time the wrong name

i liturally didn't ask for help for like days and then yasterday i requested help 3 times what is wrong there ?
I guess the problem here is not that you are asking questions, it’s HOW you are doing it
glossy vessel

fair adder

its not really healthy to try harder
but heey if you guys want me to try harder
glossy vessel

fair adder

Gotta admit, automating KoTH boxes is pretty cool to do for your own gain
gusty cradle

@somber agate @nova tide not sure which one of you removed all entry points on game 1766 but that's a nono senor
nova tide
i am hanged too
i was in but my shell is hanged
not me who did that
https://tryhackme.com/games/koth/1768
Same situation like the above optional mentioned
is it server problem or @primal stag you did something?
coz hanged for me like last game
nvrmnd working again
primal stag
I've not had any issues, and I've not patched any ways in.
gusty cradle
Yeah, the box is slow for me, usually it's pretty fast
nova tide
ok hanged again
gusty cradle
Yeah, I'm moving on to next game, this one is pretty slow for me
nova tide
well its hanging for me.. cant even ssh into the machine any more. cant even scan using nmap
gusty cradle
Use -Pn in the scan
gusty cradle
Okay
nova tide
3 minutes if any one wants to join in
Go ez on me
Anyone else facing issues with koth or just me?
GG i am done, peace
somber agate
@somber agate @nova tide not sure which one of you removed all entry points on game 1766 but that's a nono senor
@dapper escarp I only removed the authorized_keys from shrek, I'd think that would just count as patch for the way I got in?
nova tide
It literally hanged it for me. even my shell. no longer can ssh in
somber agate
That is weird, I don't know how that happened tho
nova tide
same happened with optional as well. thats why he left too
somber agate
I get that, but the only thing I did was remove the authorized keys, install a backdoor with the rootstar user and run my script to obtain king
And my script never caused an other box to lock up like that
nova tide
well thats not you. same happened to me in the next game and also in this one i am in right now
but if the problem was on my end optional wouldn't face that as well
somber agate
Weird, Idk how that happened tho, maybe something with the vpn?
I didn't lose connection to the box, so maybe that helped?
nova tide
No idea.. before these games it was working perfectly fine
gusty cradle
@nova tide Is ssh down for Tyler?
rancid pewter
Ssh is up
rancid pewter
Tyler dont have donkey user
nova tide
oh my bad
rancid pewter
I can see your ssh connection in the logs
gusty cradle
SSH is not working for me
rancid pewter
Can you ping the box ?
gusty cradle
Never mind it's back up
nova tide
Sorry for sharing the link here
i didnt knew my donut would have joined and run those scripts
GG already
not gonna waste anymore time in this game
rancid pewter
I have put no script to get king
nova tide
Tetris Game 🙂
rancid pewter
So if you win tetris you can be king
