fair adder
No problem, at my college i started teaching hacking for beginners course, so i wanted to use one of KotH machines, i don't want to post more here because its sensitive matter and i don't want to spam chat.
quiet schooner
hackers and food are both available as standalone rooms, so I'd push you towards those two
The other KoTH boxes are not, so probably not easy to use those
fair adder
I see, general idea was to one KotH machine, make private game and have team red infiltrate machine vs blue team patch it. So standalone rooms can't help me here.
@patent forge okay here i come
Thank you for answer and have a pleasant day/night! 😁
quiet schooner
I see, general idea was to one KotH machine, make private game and have team red infiltrate machine vs blue team patch it. So standalone rooms can't help me here.
@fair adder You can all access the one machine if you deploy it. The king service on port 9999 is a web server that prints the contents of the king file, so you can automate polling that quite easily for attack vs defense
fair adder
@quiet schooner I see thank you very much for this helpful information.

One of the easier ones, yeah

Ahh okay
But it seems, that defending your place in the king.txt is much more difficult than actually hack the machine

Best way is patch all the vulns and kick everyone out

Is there a specific workaround for kicking everyone out. I tried it by killing the process of the other SSH session and the "who"-command only showed my session. But @dusty canyon was still in it

so you just patched every way you know and kicked yourself out?
including most of the binaries as well
oh this is how you were trying to patch the box 🤔

the problem is i dont change permission of /bin/* files
i just did it for /usr/bin/*
nova tide
that's not how you patch stuff 🤷♂️
Blue team..
google it?
why not just patch the privescs?
sturdy plank
no the problem is i dont have time to change permission of /bin/* because i kill my self before do it
nova tide
why are you so afraid from people using cd ??
no the problem is i dont have time to change permission of /bin/* because i kill my self before do it
@sturdy plank i'm saying that's not how you patch the box 🤦♂️
sturdy plank
ok
nova tide
removing every possible binary for the users is not called patching
patch privescs
patch the ways they are getting in from
nova tide
that's not the only thing
i said the same thing in last game
but you still tried doing the same method again
nova tide
if i have my backdoor in all i have to do is kill your shell then even you won't be able to get back in as you have removed everything for other users.. so what's the point of playing KoTH like that?
know that but changing /etc/sudoers and chmoding will close PrivEsc part
@sturdy plank chmoding everything is not patching dudeeee
sturdy plank
yes it is

also i forgot to say killing shell

aaah i can't explain it to you.

you set a script which closes all pts in one game 🤣
that's not patching
always remember that a system may need to keep alive while blue teaming
and services should work as they properly should.
ofc no one is rispetting this "rule", and that makes games so lazy sometimes
terse willow
Yeah, let's not be shutting services down please 🙂
patent forge
@terse willow i'm talking about "hidden-rules"
terse willow
Hidden rules?
patent forge
like of course you can patch an lfi removing the call, right? (for example)

Removing bad code is fine, yes

yes but what i'm trying to say is that in real blue teaming situation, you have to fix that code
not removing that

@grand ember that's the point

@dense junco Patch the ways you got in from, set your methods to get back in. Check/etc/sudoersfile it have anything in that. change passwords, remove ssh keys. and look for other ways people are getting in from. Kick other guys out

For KoTH, are there any writeups out there?
This is my first time participating, so I feel a bit lost out there
this might seem like a stupid question
but are all these machines static? what I mean is feature-wise are there any changes between consecutive runs?
nova tide
only Fortune and Hackers are the ones with random passwords generated.
For others you can use your notes/passwords/sshkeys etc.

So basically, I need to run multiple iterations on KoTH on every machine to get somewhere

i mean you can play private games to practice..

Hello everyone 👋🏻
distant aspen
@low mango Forgot that was even running - kinda gave up when I saw that you were in the machine and anything which I thought might work seemed to have been changed to stop working.
@low mango Congrats on the win 🙂
low mango
Thanks 
distant aspen
I'll give KOTH another go when I'm a little better/quicker.
low mango
Good luck

dirbuster or gobuster @stable glen
@fair adder or ffuf
fair adder
@stable glen u will need a wordlist for gobuster um I think dirsearch has one preinstalled
stiff egret
Just google for options of dirbuster or gobuster, If you are on kali/parrot, the wordlists are preinstalled I think. So, Just google (!)
stable glen
i have kali
stiff egret
Also, (not rude) but google replies faster then any of us, DMing it will be more helpful....
:))
fair adder
the wordlists are in dirbusters directory

@stable glen Then you should know how linux works. And that koth is a folder john made on his own machine.
stable glen

You know... I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that's a lie.

Yo hollup

vagrant gull
@olive vessel I don't think you're serious, but if you are then you're dumb as it's quite literally on the page as soon as you click on koth.

@vagrant gull quickly retreat, we still have time to claim our dignity

Sounds like Tsundere to me @nova tide
serene bay
Wait
Tsundere is a Japanese term for a character development process that depicts a person who is initially cold before gradually showing a warmer, friendlier side over time. The word is derived from the terms tsun tsun and dere dere.

@patent forge might wanna reset, accidentally overwrote the root flag instead of king.txt 🤦♂️
carmine hemlock
gg, was quite a battle
patent forge
yep, but every time i set a "true" persistence the machine got reset
so it's kinda annoying 😦
carmine hemlock
to my knowledge it only got reset once didnt it?
patent forge
nope, i saw 2 resets
carmine hemlock
interesting, but the ip changes doesnt it?
carmine hemlock
I'm still in with the same ip
patent forge
lol
carmine hemlock

carmine hemlock
And pre- that reset i kinda had "persistence"

I am sure
hollow galleon
Ah yeah I see you now
hollow galleon
Am I ok to DM you?
west sky
Hello, are you allowed in koth to delete a flag file? like a flag in flag.txt, are you allowed to delete it when you gain access to the machine?
Thanks
stiff egret
Ok, I usually don't do this, But someone is editing names of flags.
Whoever you are, Please give Rules a look.
hollow galleon
I can't even get back into it after my connection dropped so definately wasn't me 😛
stiff egret
60% of the things you are doing are against the rules. (not to you @hollow galleon )
hollow galleon
I've had a lot of fun doing this, didn't have a huge idea on what I was doing but having competition added a cool side to it
stiff egret
Um, You are with the username kiwi?
hollow galleon
No I'm spl99 above you, I just changed my username in here to work with the tryhackme website
hollow galleon
It looked like a good fight in fairness
stiff egret
Yeah. One of the rare ones.
Most of the time people just put up superman defences and its no point to play after that. This one, non of us patched port <REDACTED>, and it was fun lol
hollow galleon
Thats awesone! Makes it more interesting that way I'd imagine
fair adder
what rooms do you have to have finished to play koth?
blissful kettle
To play KOTH you need to set your experience level to intermediate @fair adder
fair adder
yeah i understand, but whats the recommended like experience?
im unsure what intermediate is
stiff egret
um, imo, just try public KoTH rooms, like Food / hackers. And if you think you can handle then go for match with real players.
blissful kettle
Intermediate is that you have a basic understanding of security
west sky
oh ok, because I was playing with somebody, and he removed the flag
blissful kettle
That's allowed
west sky
it said thats not allowed in the rules
gusty cradle
It's not allowed
blissful kettle
oh crap i might have read that wrong
west sky
yeah he was trolling
stiff egret
Petition to make Rules page the most underrated page of tryhackme.

I have a thought for something to try on one of these koth boxes, but I’m unsure if it would be against the rules, is there a mod or admin I can DM to verify?

It probably doesn't respond to pings as it's windows
nova bramble
@sudden badge If you get on a Linux box, is it fine to do a for loop killing any process based on when it’s created?
Would stop any new connections and stuff to the box. Idk the format of KOTH on THM boxes so idk if that would break scoring checks
sudden badge
Oh, dont ask me i dont play koth, i Just told to ask in here lol
Someone will give theit opinion
quiet schooner
Sounds like it would impact legitimate users, so that's a bad @nova bramble
stiff egret
Imo, think about it like this, 'If someone hired you as red team incident response team, then will you do that on the main?'
'Making a loop to kill every new connection?'
quiet schooner
*blue team
stiff egret
I just follow this before I make any move in game. Simple.
Is it tho?
🤔
Incident response teams are blue?
stiff egret
Ah well, my bad.

vernal rock
hey lads
me and my friend are in a KOTH
and we are both pretty sucky at this
any advice on how we could start tying to find an explot?
So far we've ran dirbuster, nmap, and used burpsuite and have found nothing.
vernal rock
enumeration? such as in their database?
grand ember
Yup
grand ember
Web apps maybe
nova tide
I'm quite new to this, could you maybe go more in depth please?
@vernal rock KoTH machines are meant to be a challenge.. So i don't think anyone gonna teach you how to root any of these. what you can do is do the easier ones on your own. Start from Shrek or Food.
There are already official writeups for Food and Hackers in Hacktivitites by James. Also try to do some easy level rooms before playing koth. As koth is meant to be intermediate level.

stop spamming reset guys please 🙏
