phpBB 2.0.22 database too big?

Hello,

I just encountered the most damned problem, after a horrible time getting access, I finally managed to get a moderator (possibly admin? dunno?) who has the rights to backup the database. Hooray I thought..

The forum in question has around 10k users and 40k posts, and I started happily downloading their full database at an easy 1meg/sec. 80 meg later ffox siezes up and the download times out .. I try again, this time using the gzip option, however when extracting in winrar I get that the archive is damaged..

I opened up the 80meg that I managed to download before the timeout, and sadly the users table isn't amongst it.. I just got basically 425,000 lines of forumposts and random crap, plus ~400,000 lines of search_wordlist.

So.. basically I need to exact a single table (or perhaps delete the wordlist ones via controlpanel? possible?).. Any suggestions? I've googled around some and it seems that this is a common problem, however most remedies include using phpmyadmin, something which I can't really do since I only (so far) have access to the admin cp.

A little appendix to my previous post, it seems that EasyMod might be used as an alternative entrypoint? The data I managed to extract included the EM password, md5 encrypted.

(edit; found hash) 1a353063dbd2da7ba471849c35f90886 .. Any help decrypting it appreciated, I'll run my computers trying to do it during the night.

Does anyone have any previous experience with what you can do with EasyMod? Is it a viable method of extracting the remaining database?

Also, if I would to remove the ~40k posts from the forum, it's quite logical that both the wordlist_search tables would empty themselves as well as the massive lines of forumposts that make up the database?

(Sorry, bit of a spammer Smile)

Yep if u get rid of the posts the database size will be much smaller Wink Of course this will quickly alert other admins that something is wrong.
Good work so far mate.. may i ask how you got into phpbb 2.0.22?

Yeah that'll be my last resort then I guess, not really my intention to mess up their entire board either, though it's nearly their own fault if they don't backup :). Afraid me getting into the board wasn't too advanced, a large ISP where I live got hacked the other day, and their database was released. I had a database from five years back which I crosschecked with the new one.. Then I picked out the relevant stuff that I wanted (some specific accounts), found 10ish that matched what I wanted. Then on one of those I noticed he had a "you have a new reply" message on some forum, checked it and noticed he had userid #2 ..

Soon afterwards I noticed it was a pretty nice find since the forum was huge.. so, yeah, not exactly repeatable I'm afraid. Huuuuge luck factor other than this snag in the end.

kasykisgalva:
1) Use correct grammar. Its "will you" not "may you"
2) You only want the URL so you can "hack" it using the cracked hash.

Sorry if that sounds blunt, but its got to be said.
