Thanks! I'm trying to ssh to tryhackme's server (the lag with the attack box is just too annoying). I figured out I had to install the server. but now when I run it it just logs me into my own system. Not tryhackme's. Here is what I did if you want to look: michael@desktop1:~$ ifconfig -snip- tun0: flags=4305 mtu 1500 inet 10.xxx.yyy.zzz netmask 255.255.128.0 destination 10.xxx.yyy.zzz inet6 ------------------------ prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20 unspec 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 txqueuelen 500 (UNSPEC) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 103 bytes 6600 (6.6 KB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 -snip- michael@desktop1:~$michael@desktop1:~$ ssh 10.xxx.yyy.zzz ssh: connect to host 10.xxx.yyy.zzz port 22: Connection refused (google told me service might not be running) michael@desktop1:~$ sudo service ssh status [sudo] password for michael: Unit ssh.service could not be found. michael@desktop1:~$ sudo systemctl start ssh.service Failed to start ssh.service: Unit ssh.service not found.
