I'm using HackTheBox and I was struggling with an Evil-WInRM error, so I'll share it as a memo.

If you are serious about learning, we recommend Labs VIP or above!

A hands-on training environment for security engineers, CTF players, and learners alike. Create an account now and try hacking a virtual lab yourself. *If you want to learn seriously, we recommend Labs' VIP plan or higher. The free plan has limitations on the number of machines, features, and explanations, making it insufficient for efficient growth. With VIP or higher, you can also use past machines, write-ups, and guide features, making learning much easier.

If an error occurs in Evil-WinRM

When I tried to use Evil-WinRM, I got an error saying, "An error of type HTTPClient::ReceiveTimeoutError happened, message is executed expired."

┌──(hack_lab㉿DESKTOP-O3RMU7H)-[~/HackTheBox] └─$ ruby ../HackTools/evil-winrm-master/evil-winrm.rb -i 10.129.120.32 -u Chase -p 'Q4)sJu\Y8qz*A3?d' Evil-WinRM shell v3.5 Warning: Remote path completions is disabled due to ruby limitation: quotation_detection_proc() function is unconfigured on this machine Data: For more information, check Evil-WinRM GitHub: https://github.com/Hackplayers/evil-winrm#Remote-path-completion Info: Establishing connection to remote endpoint Error: An error of type HTTPClient::ReceiveTimeoutError happened, message is execution expired Error: Exiting with code 1

After trying various things, I found that it would be possible to resolve the problem by changing the PROTOCOL of openVPN from "UDP1337" to "TCP 443".

I'm not sure if this was the direct cause, but I'm able to log in!

summary

OpenVPN has a lot of unexpected errors, so it may not progress very well. . .
Is this a learning experience too? (lol)

There is also Teech Lab, which is an opportunity to study programming fun, so if you are interested in software development, be sure to take a look!
