I am new to HTB and I am trying to use nmap on the active machine but it’s not working .
→ nmap -sV -sC -sT 10.10.10.198
All I get is “the host is down try it with -Pn” , it is running but still no such result.
Even though I am connected to the vpn and it has got tun0
Can anyone help me with this.
Even I am not able to ping it. It is saying 100% packet loss.
Try regenerating connection pack and using it.
root@kali:~# nmap -sV -sC -sP 10.10.10.198
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-09-13 11:18 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 3.75 seconds
root@kali:~# nmap -sV -sC -sP -Pn 10.10.10.198
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-09-13 11:19 EDT
Nmap scan report for 10.10.10.198
Host is up.
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.56 seconds
Is this working now?

no, I am not getting the actual result which I should get after running nmap. I am trying to ping it but still the same. “100% packet loss” with “0 packets received”.
So nmap is working but ping isn’t? That seems odd. As far as I can remember nmap uses an ICMP echo request to see if the host is up, the same as ping.
What happens when you try traceroute? Have you confirmed the VPN is working etc?

The VPN is working fine. Plus to make the nmap work I have to use -Pn , I get the result but I don’t get the required info like which port is up and the stuff like that.

Double check your VPN. The packets have hit an IP address not on the HTB network, that implies the VPN isn’t working.

I regenerated it like 3 times.
So, should I choose another server?
What should I do to fix it?
I dont know - you said it was working. When you run it, does it say completed? Do you keep it running in the background?
Yeah it was working and I surely do kept it running in the background.
I am using a kali on a VM, so should I have to configure something to fix it?
Not normally. It should be as simple as opening the VPN connection then traffic is passed over it.
Is this the first time you’ve tried to use it?
What messages does openvpn generate?
It is not my first time, I have tried before and worked but it is not working now.
The openvpn works fine I triple checked it but the same is happening.

Ok - when it worked before, did you do anything differently?
The openvpn works fine I triple checked it but the same is happening.
What messages does it show? If it was working, your traffic would be going over the VPN. It isn’t.
It is working I don’t know what was wrong. I just regenerated the pack and it worked.
Thanku for ur help.
