I had an issue these days with the SSH connection for Linux Fundamentals course. I realised since something is blocking the ports of the pwnbox (?).
That’s probably why for example metasploit can’t find the modules… Is there something to set to avoid this problem ?
At first I tried to launch attacks from my Kali Linux VM terminal with metasploit but attacks are stopped by antivirus in my host machine. That’s why I launched pwnbox from my VM, but there seems not to be any connection.
So I disabled temporarily the antivirus but to no avail…
The vpn is to be used both for the pwnbox and for my vm ? I never did for the pwnbox and well I wasn’t using it yesterday with my kali vm while launching metasploit at first; I added it later, I probably should have close the terminals I was using and starting again
I did not think that we needed to have it for the Pwnbox, but it is worth a try. I also had issues where my personal security items were blocking everything. Bitdenfender made it so difficult. I also tried using different locations as well. I had to try multiple times to run the exploits, but it did eventually run.
Thanx a lot! The issue was simply that I typed @academy instead of @cademy…
Anyway thanx to you I understood what’s a VPN for. I did not grasp the concept entirely and these days I had to look it through.
At least I won’t try to attack my antivirus anymore…
Thanx a lot!
