Actually food machine is also a regular box on thm, you can start that and look for flags alone

#

hi everyone, im still new to hacking but was wondering how much I need to know to try this out

nova tide
#

Doing easy-medium boxes on THM would be enough.

#

KoTH is not for beginners, would suggest doing some rooms that will help alot.

vital tide
#

ohhh interesting

#

do you have any room reccomendations?

#

also this generally has the same principle as hack the box battlegrounds right?

nova tide
#

@stiff egret wanna write about koth for beginners? Or the suggested rooms before doing KoTH?

You are allowed to keep notes but not really a good idea to spoil the box for others.

terse willow
#

@glad turtle @nova tide, the docs site is deprecated -- help.tryhackme.com is where the up-to-date documentation is.
Writeups / videos are allowed, essentially as there's no way to enforce it

So whilst it's not necessarily encouraged, it's not an issue if you do

How many times can a vm bei resetted in one koth Session? I counted 5 to 6 times in my last koth which is a little bit annoying

#

To me the rules meant that you can't use an external auto-patching tool

#

correct me if I'm wrong tho

nova tide
#

External patching tools??

#

You can't use scripts that automatically roots/hardens(patches) the box.

#

@nova tide

#

deleting the king.txt and the binary that's inside the /root is against the rules isn't it?

#

cause i'm playin right now and a guy with the nickname of Edd13M0ra is deleting everything

#

he even deleted ls but nah i can usr printf '%s\n' * so because there's an alternative that wouldn't be a prob

quiet schooner
#

the king.txt itself, I think is fine because you can just remake it

fair adder
#

he deleted the binary for the king

quiet schooner
#

But yeah deleting the king binary is against the rules

fair adder
#

the entire /root

quiet schooner
#

It shouldn't break it, but depends on the implementation

fair adder
#

is this legal?

quiet schooner
#

Legal? Yes. Against the rules? Also yes.

fair adder
#

i wanted to say the binary for king.txt anyway

quiet schooner
#

Have you read the new rules?

fair adder
#

to be honest, i don't believe

#

i've read the rules on the site itself

quiet schooner
#

The new rules on the site?

fair adder
#

i've read them yesterday

#

but i'll again now

#

Do NOT delete system binaries (except chattr) or change executable permissions on them (or their directory).

#

hmm

#

Do not attack, modify or stop the service(king/KoTH service) on 9999 (this includes a 'KoTH' binary placed by default in /root and things like changing service locations.)

#

so it's ilegal to delete it

terse willow
#

Given the site you've got linked in your bio is full of illegal content @fair adder, please do not advertise it in here

fair adder
#

i'll change it now, even tho this sounds little bit stupid, i am not explicit advertise it

terse willow
#

Oh, I know you're not. If you were pasting it in the chat you would be getting chucked. We're more lenient about statuses given they're obviously Discord wide, but I draw the line at illegality

fair adder
#

done, i've removed it, now we can concentrate on the things that happened during the last koth, deleting the binary and explicit everything from /root is ilegal

keen shell
#

edd13m0ra is the 3rd person who got in, i was with meowless for 30 minutes or so and everything was fine we battled with eachother and when he came in he deleted /root

fair adder
#

not to mention the fact that he deleted the flags, which is again against the rules @quiet schooner

quiet schooner
#

I'm not koth staff

Hello, seem like KOTH as some bug. Trying to join public game redirect me to 404 but it seem like it still scheduled me for a game. But the game in question doesn't exist. https://tryhackme.com/games/koth/16848

why is it that every koth game is either panda or shrek lmao

broken berry

i always get the same machines shrek,lion and panda

@hazy geode mind telling me why nobody can create tmux instances cuz all of the close imediatly?

Nope

Check gtfobins

he patched the ONLY vulnerabiltiy there, go ahead and try that pip thing from gtfo it doesnt work

There are more than one way to root the box, try finding more.

No not pip

@stiff egret

Have you solved other rooms on tryhackme?

Those had open ports

i played today a koth game before i went to "school"

i played Food, it was a super nice room with, finally, a good method to exploit and i could use my coding knowledge, albeit little

stiff egret

#

yes i know, i got to exploit it on that koth game but someone patched it or something happend, i'm watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WhQUItNNMw and after that i will do that until the end

delicate cedar
#

unfortunately non subscribe players cannot learn certain machines without relying on luck getting the desired machine in private games

Hackers and food are available standalone

i am having some serious problem with the hogwarts box ... no spoilers please but i can not access port 22 in firefox and google didnt help at all all advice is outdated please anyone that got around thiss not fun having no one able to access it

stiff egret
#

That port is not the only way to get in the machine, you can try for other ports,

#

Although, how to access that port on firefox comes up pretty easily on google search, I don't know what you are searching, but try again(?)

delicate moon
#

lols i am at that point where i was searching long sentences but figured i just used curl to just see whats up and i am still waiting for an all port scan to come back maybe im just stupid and not seeing something

nova tide
#

In future instead of waiting for scan results try installing rustscan to stay ahead of others.

i have been saying i need it lol no one on the box yet just cus offportscann

#

anyone have any suggestions for rooms to do before i am ready for koth?

keen shell
#

this current koth rotation makes puts new players at a disadvantage

#

i played yesterday or something a Panda box vs a new player and he was able to become root eventually but it took him like 10-15 minutes

#

meanwhile i had that machine already enumed and just had to redo what i did

#

now i play this production machine against a guy who became root in 10 minutes, and i just test stuff to exploit it [no spoilers]

delicate cedar
#

That's because it's all about who's first getting to root and maintain it's persistent, everyone who has done the box has an advantage

New Machines? Soonℒ️
Keep track of each user? I don't think that's really necessary. You will get one machine that someone have already done from 10 users that can join the game. Machines are already randomized. If you get a machine again, you can always try finding other methods when you have already rooted it one way and try patching those as well.

stiff egret
keen shell
#

idk, this needs a lot of more work, or at least make every koth room public so everybody can prepare in advance

stiff egret
#

It says on site, 'Beta'

keen shell
#

idk if it's okay for me to try and hack a box at first sight meanwhile stellarix or whatever gets king in 3 minutes

stiff egret
#

You can create private matches

delicate cedar
#

study the box on priv games

keen shell
#

that's a decent workaround

stiff egret
#

Invite those who are new to machines as you are, then hack them together, it'll be more realistic that way.

#

Plus, usual non-strict rules are not applied to private games.

keen shell
#

"invite" i don't really have friends to invite, or if i have i have like 2 of them

#

i play 1-2 games with them but that's really not a big competition since we vary in skill alot

stiff egret
#

You can create an ALT account for that as well

nova tide
#

@ me if you want to compete?

stiff egret
#

'If anyone is new to koth and wanna start, DM me and we can play together' you can post msgs like this here.

keen shell
#

yea it's very decent stuff you are saying but i want the koth game to be like the best, with tones of machines and everybody to start fresh and have no prior knowledge of that

#

stiff egret
#

You can do that when any new machine is released πŸ™‚

keen shell
#

idk i think im just butthurt cuz stelarix kept king for 50 minutes without claiming any flags

stiff egret
#

That happens, get in the box and kick him!

delicate cedar
#

I think u can still do something since i don't patch anything

keen shell
#

yea i saw

stiff egret
#

Find methods to persist your shell then start patching and kicking others!

#

That's the fun of this.

keen shell
#

can i dm you to give me some hints about that box we played today? or if you have a writeup for that production box

stiff egret
#

Writeups for many boxes are public,

#

If you google around you are bound to come across them

keen shell
#

yea but production is exclusive to koth aka it's not on the learn tab

stiff egret
#

No, I meant on internet.

stiff egret
keen shell
#

okay, can you tell me do you even know what box i'm talking about? that production box

stiff egret
#

I know production box in KoTH.

#

And you'll understand what I am saying if you google king of the hill writeups

okay i will dm you cuz im about to tell spoilers

Ok i know production box, what questions you got?

i will answer them myself since holmes spun up a box for me to test

i just killed my session and that was the only way i knew to get root and i patched it

ah lol i didnt, actually if you are already root it also asks you to input password if you type sudo

didnt knew that

stiff egret
keen shell
#

i have a backdoor but it's as a user cuz aparently i cant passwd since im not root

#

but if i type whoami it says root lol

stiff egret

because you are not proper root, maybe with EUID of root and UID of user.

carmine flame
#

you should always change the root passwd first lol

grand delta
#

no but i am a user

carmine flame
#

ah I thought you patched the machine

grand delta
#

and you know what i mean by "patched"right ?

#

yess!

carmine flame
grand delta
carmine flame
#

how did you patch the machine without being root then?

grand delta
#

i was root ! > then i patched everything and then i killed myself

carmine flame
#

so when you were root you could've changed the passwd xD

grand delta
carmine flame
#

???

grand delta
#

i changed the pass

carmine flame
#

so what's the problem?

grand delta
#

ok how do you become root

#

if you have a password for becoming root

#

tell me

carmine flame
#

ssh root if you also modified the ssh config file or su with a lower level user

grand delta
#

then whats the command

#

for getting root

carmine flame
#

su

grand delta
#

now see the ss i sent you

#

upp

carmine flame
#

i got another question
is there is any way to connect to tryhackme openvpn except udp because udp is not supported in my country ?

No, there is not

And we cannot help you bypass the openvpn ban as it'd be illegal

Use the attackbox

Hey, i have a question

#

what give the differents machines?

#

and my secound question is:

stiff egret
fair adder
#

for example did the Hogwarts machine will always have the same fails

fair adder
quiet schooner
#

Hogwarts is a very dynamic machine

stiff egret
quiet schooner
#

It's different each time you play it

#

Fortune and Hackers have some dynamic elements

fair adder
quiet schooner
#

Food, Production, Panda, and some others that I can't remember are not dynamic at all

fair adder
#

ok

stiff egret
#

If by 'flaws'/'fails' you mean vulnerabilities, then ofc, they can't change much. That's the point of having multiple machines in the pool.

fair adder
#

are their some "easy" machines

Heh, GL everyone. This will be my first KOTH

so how does this work? Break into systems and find flags, then patch to prevent other users from getting your flags?

quiet schooner
#

Within the rules, yes

#

Put your name in the king file

You don't have your own flags, you're patching the system to stop people removing you as king

grand delta

tell how did you get in the box to get root

delicate cedar

||find another efficient way to root besides uploading kernel exploit to the box||

grand delta

||its either that or tmux session which was patched||

delicate cedar
#

||Is it just that?||

#

Anyway, no one gonna take the king?

grand delta

||as far as i could explore the box , you used those code and scripts to get in||

#

||i copied them but isnt that what i did , i mean i tried to get attched to the tmux session by using tmux -S /.dev/session attach -t 0||

delicate cedar
#

||it took me less than 10s just by using tmux||

#

||you just haven't fully explore the box||

grand delta
#

||@delicate cedar tell noe||

P.S. the leaderboards only count the games where some points were gained by at least one player. So if the game ends with maximum points = 0, then it simply won't be counted.

Yes they're static

what does that mean

So it's possible but you're better off going straight for king

#

The flags don't change

#

They stay the same

fair adder
#

oh

#

#

is that against the rules ?

#

or is it ok

blissful kettle
#

Eh i'm not entirely too sure but flag hoarding is a bit unfair for new comers to it

fair adder
#

k cuz me and my friend were like woah wtf just 10 seconds of koth and he has 6 flags

winged charm
#

I mean

#

It’s not technically against the rules but it’s also just not cool

#

We’re waiting for THM to provide the ability for autogen flags

delicate cedar
#

Hmm, when the new machine will be released?

#

Also, Is it only koth staff that can submit koth box?

#

The one is latest queue is getting delayed because the creator haven't completed it yet.

#

yeah kekw cri

nah anyone can create them for the most part

delicate cedar

most part?

stiff egret
#

Mostly

delicate cedar
#

Just an OVA?

nova tide
stiff egret
green axle
#

I think that the passwords and flags are no longer static since there are players who start the game and already have the credentials, they remain as king and the others do not enjoy the game

#

At the time I played a game and the second it started there was already a king that's not fair

delicate cedar
green axle
delicate cedar
#

Didn't break any rules -_-

nova tide

#

That is an issue that must be discussed with the admins so that the flags and passwords are not static

stiff egret
#

Passwords are not static in newer boxes, like Hackers, fortune, hogwarts etc

#

RE. flags, that's also in works, but no idea if it'll be implemented soon.

#

It's more of a site issue then boxes.

delicate cedar
#

Flags in binary is really a good idea

stiff egret
#

What do you mean?

#

Oh, you mean in non-regular strings format?

#

like md5 hashes?

delicate cedar
#

It could be, like RE challenge

stiff egret
#

It is like that in one or two boxes. Keep in mind, the boxes are intentionally made easy so they are solvable in 1 hr time frame.

#

Adding some hard/medium RE challenges in the mix will kill the fun.

delicate cedar
#

Yes, it must be make to not really complicated

stiff egret
#

Although, there are some boxes which give root on RE challenges.

sick turtle
#

I would suggest encoded flags but one of the machines already have it

#

But more wouldn't be such a bad idea
