Seems that also when I use

sudo nmap -sC -sV -p- 10.10.10.27
I get

Starting Nmap 7.91 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2021-03-02 12:50 EST
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 3.31 seconds

So I ended up reading in the forum Starting Point [HTB] - Machines - Hack The Box :: Forums, to do this instead and I get:

sudo nmap -sC -sV -Pn -p135,139,445,1433 10.10.10.27
Host discovery disabled (-Pn). All addresses will be marked ‘up’ and scan >times will be slower.

Host is up.

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 3.44 seconds

Is this connection supposed to be filtered? because when I go to the smbclient step I get:

smbclient -N -L \\\\10.10.10.27\\
do_connect: Connection to 10.10.10.27 failed (Error >NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE)

Not sure what’s going on. Could this be my firewall? I am using a Kali VM (QEMU, Virt-manager), my connection is set to Nat, and I can ping other machines just fine.

Have you confirmed you are connected to the HTB network?

What does traceroute show?

What is the output of ip r? This will show the routing table. Look for tun0 :slight_smile:

This is what I get for each command: Hope you don’t mind but I blocked out some of the ip, not really sure what would happen if anyone can see it.

OH yea also Thanks for taking the time!!!

Are you using a starting point VPN or the normal HTB VPN?

I’m using the HTB VPN; I do have anonsurf on my Host machine, but it’s never activated.

$ anonsurf status
• tor.service - Anonymizing overlay network for TCP (multi-instance-master)
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/tor.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)

I also did test to see if it was my VM by downloading the connection pack on my Host machine and running the nmap command for the right ip while using HTB VPN. Got the same Host seems down.

Furthermore, I tested to see if it was the type of connection I was using, so I tested on both the VM and Host machine, seeing if direct wifi would make a difference compared to an ethernet connection to my Edgerouter ErX. Nothing different.

I’m using the HTB VPN;

Which HTB VPN?

You need to have downloaded a HTB Starting Point connection pack. It looks like you are connecting over the normal VPN, but I don’t know Starting Point well enough to be sure.

Thanks Alot!!!

hi!
i have the same problems, but i connected to starting point vpn. any ideas? i cant googled anymore((

What exactly is the issue?

Are you trying to connect to starting point and it isn’t working?

no, im connect succes, but same when try to ping “Destination Host Unreachable”

What happens when you try traceroute?

Are you sure the target server has been activated?

Same here - Connected to Starting Point EU Entrypoint
