When I’m doing HTB boxes, most of the time I do them at a coffee shop, but sometimes I do them at my home too. Logging into HTB’s SSO using a coffee shop’s Wi-Fi pretty much never causes me any problems, but when I try to log in from my home’s internet connection, I keep getting an error saying “We think you might be a bot, please try again submitting the form!”. Trying to log in repeatedly only gives me the same error message over and over. I’m guessing at some point a captcha should pop up, but even disabling uBlock Origin altogether on the login page, none shows up. Sometimes I get through and successfully login from home, but the reason why is not clear.
I’m guessing that the anti-botnet defenses get triggered because I’m trying to log in from an IP address I don’t usually use, but I don’t get why HTB’s backend is more lenient towards coffee shop IPs than home IPs. Nevertheless, this is a serious pain. When this error would appear, wouldn’t it be better to e.g. send an email or SMS asking the user to confirm the login from that IP address?
I’m getting this same error, it’s very frustrating to have to repeatedly spam the form until it magically works (or the login is blocked because of too many attempts). Sending an sms or email for a suspicious login, or using a captcha, would be much less pain than this.
Yeah I think it doesn’t like my password manager autocomplete or something. I won’t use that platform if I’m to be locked out of my account to be honest.
Same thing is happening to me but only in ParrotOS, I can log in on my Arch linux desktop and in Kali linux proxmox vm but not in ParrotOS. Browser type doesn’t seem to matter.
