Same here, the VPN seems to be up and running, ifconfig gives me tun0, I run the commands that the guide tells me and nmap gives me 'All 1000 scanned ports on x.x.x.x are closed. it’s driving me mad here
i have this same issue. i do see Initialization Sequence Completed when i successfully connect to the VPN, but i’m unable to run the nmap scan. Any help will be much appreciated.
After running nmap, i get the following error.
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-03-31 13:09 EDT
Error #487: Your port specifications are illegal. Example of proper form: “-100,200-1024,T:3000-4000,U:60000-”
QUITTING!
I am new to HTB and facing the same issue. I am successfully connected to vpn and i can see ip asssigned to my tun0 , but when i run nmap it always shows ports as filtered.
I have tried modifying .ovpn file to tcp 443 but no success. I see route for 10.10.10.0/24 subnet towards 10.10.14.1 but i am not able to ping any of the machine.
systemctl status ufw shows inactive.
any help will be much appreciated as i am stuck on this from past 9-10 hrs.
US Server. I had a lot of issues yesterday in getting the ports to show up in scans. Regenerated my keys, then tried the command I posted earlier. Started to work. Now I am stuck at another part.
I am running into a problem getting ps1.shell to the victim machine from my local machine. The victim says that it cannot connect to my machine, though I can connect to the victim. As far as I can tell, I have not missed any instructions, even resorting to just copy-pasting them. What might I be missing to get past this step in the instructions?
For me, I am connected just fine. I did the initial command “ports=$(nmap -p- --min-rate=1000 -T4 10.10.10.27 | grep [1] | cut -d ‘/’ -f 1 | tr ‘\n’ ‘,’ | sed s/,$//)” but when I try to follow along after, I am receiving:
kali@kali:~$ nmap -sC -sV -p$ports 10.10.10.27

and when I switch to nmap -sC -sV -p- 10.10.10.27 I get:
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-04-06 19:48 EDT
Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 3.70 seconds
When I include -Pn, it doesn’t resolve. Any ideas? Since it is in the starting point, I’m not sure where to go to turn on a machine, if that’s even a thing. I am very new to all of this. I signed up a long time ago, and just started trying my hand at this.
Hey Guys, I am stuck at foothold step. There is a new IP Address I can see in shell.ps1 code and the xp_cmshell call while spawning a reverse shell. Do I need to change the IP to he one that is assigned to my machine by looking at tun0 ?
