So I have a site where the admin has been AWOL for almost a year now, and I want to try to get admin rights. The problem is that since he's missing and doesn't answer emails, social engineering tricks won't work on him.
I got a hash of a password he uses on another forum, but plain-text.info hasn't cracked it in over a week (not salted) so I assume it's a hella strong password.
I've been trying to get some kind of info on what software he's got installed at the site, but the more I try the more I suspect it's some kind of custom job that he did himself. On the forums for said site he mentions how the buttons on the home page are done using html tables because he doesn't know CSS so it's probably safe to say he's a nub when it comes to coding. That says to me he'll likely have left a hole or two where someone can get in.
The problem is finding those holes... can anyone give me some advice? Is there a particular SQL injection attack I can do that is likely to succeed? |

Is it a shared hosting or dedicated server? If it is a shared hosting then you should look for other vulnerable scripts on the same server. You could give me a link to actual site (via pm) and i will check if there are any vulnerabilitis  |

| I'm agree with x3roconf, going through neighbour website is your best option ... |

Ok for other noobs out there who may read this:
The site I am working on attacking is http://target.site.com, so on waraxe's and x3roconf's advice, I tried http://www.site.com to get another website (likely by the same author).
This one is running what appears to be punBB for its forums (which I discovered by googling for "Forum software" and using wikipedia's list of forums to find one that looks and feels similar to the one on www.site.com.
Then I tried milw0rm to find exploits for punBB.
Still trying to figure out what version of punBB they're running, not sure how. Also I'm not sure what I can do if I hack in to the forums, since I won't know anyone's password (no database access  ) |
