Attack Box in TryHackMe

You don't need a VM if you have TryHackMe premium. There's an attack box in the browser waiting and ready for you.

can I just use my own kali linux that I have installed if i dont want to pay for the try hack me subscription for longer time on the attackbox?

Thank you very much, I was so confused as there were 2 ip addresses one in active information and the other in the atttackbox. I thought u need to ssh or get that IP address in active information into the attackbox to start establish connection. I am trying to nmap the target IP Can you pls tell me how they both got connected in the first place.(I come from a non-tech Bg) Thank you very much.

So, if you VPN into TryHackMe, then that machine will have a network address (IP) that will allow it to send and receive packets to other machines on the same network. This also happens with the VM in the browser, the attack box. The attack box and your local machine/VM will have different IPs because they are different machines on the same network. The victim machine (the IP you get from the room you're trying) will also be different, but likely on the same 10.*.*.* schema as your other machines.

how did you get the screenrecorder

[@ericalleshouse6655]

where do you get the ip address to attack? It was there and now it's gone.

When you start the target machine in task 1, it'll be at the top. You'll have to start it again every time you go back

in other words you have to buy---aka , pay for using attackbox

[@esraiiklooni2704]

can we jsut use our kali linux machine that we have installed if we do not want to pay for the attack box cuz i know we cant use it for more than one hour
