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$ports 10.10.10.27
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-04-06 19:48 EDT
Error #487: Your port specifications are illegal. Example of proper form: “-100,200-1024,T:3000-4000,U:60000-”
QUITTING!
and when I switch to nmap -sC -sV -p- 10.10.10.27 I get:
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-04-06 19:48 EDT
Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 3.70 seconds
When I include -Pn, it doesn’t resolve. Any ideas? Since it is in the starting point, I’m not sure where to go to turn on a machine, if that’s even a thing. I am very new to all of this. I signed up a long time ago, and just started trying my hand at this.
Hey Guys, I am stuck at foothold step. There is a new IP Address I can see in shell.ps1 code and the xp_cmshell call while spawning a reverse shell. Do I need to change the IP to he one that is assigned to my machine by looking at tun0 ?
Heard there has been a bunch of issues accessing it. I can connect to the vpn but when i run ifconfig, tun0 is not returning anything not sure why, tried tcp still no prevail. Am unable to ping any of the machines getting real heated…
Definitely a beginner here myself, and maybe this question will show this to be true lol. But following the instructions for this machine, it appears they have us creating a variable named “ports”? However, when I try to create this variable with the command “ports=$(…” as explained in the tutorial and hit return to run the command, it appears the shell just goes to stdin? Can anyone explain why that is? I’m aware just running “-p-” will suffice rather than “-p$ports” but I am curious as to why I am experiencing this?
after i’ve connected to the vpn i can not ping the 10.10.10.27 ip.
what should i do? at least i should be able to ping the host!
it seems to be down. any hints?
Hi,
Same here. i didn’t see 10.10.10.27 too and think it is down. don’t know that i miss something (is that a next challenge and i have to done some other things to connect to this specific host) or just ‘something went wrong’. i tried to play with 2-3 other machines, but no success at the moment but keep going
