Hi all.

Since today, I could not connect to the vpn server on tryhack me. I have been using the same file, and same VM for months. This is the error that I get. I have tried adding the lines mentioned to no avail.

I am using openvpn 2.6.12.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

2025-02-01 12:12:33 Note: --cipher is not set. OpenVPN versions before 2.5 defaulted to BF-CBC as fallback when cipher negotiation failed in this case. If you need this fallback please add '--data-ciphers-fallback BF-CBC' to your configuration and/or add BF-CBC to --data-ciphers.

Tried login in to tryhackme using google, it just redirects me back to the login page. Anyone having this issue?

Hi! I am wanting to do some tryhackme ctf boxes and a couple other providers on wsl to not mess with my study and work workflows. I find that the VPNs they provide tend to connect my entire pc and from there only allow access to CTF parts. Is there a way to set it up so only WSL uses the vpn?

I have the following image

As can be seen, on the first scan, it does not show me that there are 2 ports meanwhile on the 2nd scan, it shows me an additional port.

does anyone know why?

I am trying to work on website hacking stuff but whenever i try to load the pages on mozilla in my virtual environment. The pages are not loading. I configured the vpn correctly, as i can ping the ip address on the cmd but the web pages are not loading. I tried different machines but the problem is still there. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am a student and I want to try out the try hack me premium version. How good is it? Can I cancel this after few month?

My subscription was set to renew on 29th January 2025, but I initially planned to take a break for a month. While trying to cancel, I noticed the option to pause the subscription, so I chose to pause it. However, I later decided to continue with another month of premium, so I tried to resume the subscription.

Unfortunately, I noticed that the system is showing the subscription will resume on 28th February 2025, but I would like it to resume immediately instead.

I EVEN TRIED MAILING BUT NO RESPONSE
AND ALSO TRIED TO CONTACT ON DISCORD BUT BECAUSE OF MY DISCORD PROBLEM I'M NOT ABLE TO POST THERE TOO..

PLEASE HELP

Is it normal to finish a room in more than the said time to finish.

I am in command line > windows PowerShell room its says that 60m is enough time to finish the room but I always find it short.

A always exceed the given time.

Is it normal?

Hey guys, maybe its just me, but after an hours of searching for an solution for the room i got desperately and looked up at the solutions: https://medium.com/@corybantic/tryhackme-owasp-top-10-2021-writeup-159ccfadb4d7
But on the Exploit data base the "old" version is edb verified and works fine in the pictures. However https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/48960 didnt worked. i did "python3 48960.py and the ip adress. Everytime it says an error for the syntax.

What have i done wrong?

About 6 months ago, I was notified that my alumni email from college was going to be disabled. Historically, this was not the case as I went to a very small school but they finally decided to disable all. The issue with this is that I signed up to TryHackMe with my .edu email. I reached out to THM to try to get my email changed on my account but they essentially told me...

1. Cannot change email on account as I signed up through Google SSO
2. Cannot transfer progress to a new account

This is kind of frustrating for me as I've put a lot of time into the platform. I've collected badges, certificates, and am currently top 2% on the platform. To start on a completely new account just doesn't sound fun. I think it is time for me to step away from THM and explore other options like HTB or LetsDefend.

Overall, I got a lot out of THM in the past year of using it. They are constantly releasing new content and the performance of the website is pretty good. I was utilizing the Attack Box which worked well most of the time.

I just wish they would've put in a bit more effort to get my stats transferred to a new account or something.

These things are great talking points during interviews!

**UPDATE**

A TryHackMe moderator reached out and was able to change my email to a personal. Thanks a lot u/Blackout8210 !!

I will be renewing my sub!

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to upload a CTF to TryHackMe, but I'm facing an issue with [Problem converting VM].

I followed all the prerequisites, but it still didn't work. I'm using Ubuntu Server Focal Fossa 20.04.6 with 5.4.0 kernel (x64). Initially, I thought the problem might be caused by certain packages or configurations on the server, so I tried uploading a fresh installation, but I ran into the same issue.

Has anyone here successfully uploaded a CTF and can help me out?

Thanks in advance! :)

I was wondering if it's normal for the AttackBox to be extremely slow and lagging. Its so slow sometimes, that it actually makes working with it very difficult. Specifically when working between the Firefox browser and Burp suite on the VM.

I'm not sure if it's just the VM that's slow, or if it's a hardware issue with my computer. I have an i5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and running Windows 11 Home edition. Any recommendations or pointers?

I have gone through the whole Linux Privilege Escalation room in Jr Penetration path, some sections twice and taken notes. But I still find myself a little lost as I read through it and try to do the last few tasks, which are in task 12 capstone and tasks 10 & 11. Task 10 I had to use walk through and could never get task 10 challenge without getting more walkthrough info. Then on the last capstone one, I can start it out and begin seeking information, looked up on exploit db and can see more users in my enumerating, but once I get to a certain point i feel like idk how to proceed. Idk if this room just isn’t as explicit as I need or I need to go back and look at other beginner rooms first, then redo this whole room or what. Or maybe what I’m missing is a clear cut methodology for myself to follow when pentesting, like steps and if one didn’t work, try this instead, kind of thing.

Suggestions? I don’t want to just complete tasks anyways, I want to fully understand and obviously be able to move through testing on my own. I obviously need more practice too, possibly more challenges so I eventually don’t need to ref notes or walkthroughs. Feel like I’m failing if I completed all beginner rooms, web fundamentals and most all the pen test path and now can’t even get through testing. Help?

Is there a way to update my assignment to the status it really is after the due date is gone.

Everytime I try to access for ex here (printer.za.tryhackme.com) I get server not found

I tried it from the attackbox and from openvpn , I also watched YouTube walkthroughs and did exactly step by step and I still can't access it , This issue is in most of AD rooms , Anyone had the same issue and solved it?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to create a series of rooms with different machines. I realize that THM only supports some OS models and kernels. However, I cannot find a Ubuntu kernel supported by THM. Where can I find a kernel download? Do I have to downgrade it? Any help is great, thank you!!

So for the past two days I’ve been trying to complete a couple of the Snort rooms for the SOC path. However, every time I try to write a Snort rule the console keeps giving me this error. Any suggestions to navigate this? This does it whether I configure the rule file in any directory where rules exist and if I use any other editor. This is the second Snort room it’s happened on so I’m hoping I’m just making a user error

My colleague has recently been trying to subscribe to THM but has consistently failed. After inquiring with customer service, the response was that Taiwan cannot subscribe to THM. Could you let me know if this is due to any specific issue, or is it just an isolated case or some other reason?

I can't find proxy tab on my burp suite

Hello everyone, I just wanted to get some feedback from the experts. Currently in GRC, however wanting to learn the offensive side to carry over and possibly even explore the offensive side of security. What are some good pathways, as well as areas to start within THM? Thanks!
