I can do the rest myself easily enough. The site has html disabled, only standard bbcode, and (for now) the docs directory is still there, unprotected. Here is a full path disclosure of the site.
/home/exosyph/public_html/addon-domain-exosyphenstudios-com/site-forum/profile.php
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I know the admin of the site personally and I don't want the hash to get revenge or anything like that, simply to convince him to upgrade to something more secure or at least change his board config. |

phpbb 2.0.22 happens to be the latest versions of 2.x branch. So there is no known security issues as for today - correct me, if i'm wrong.
Your choices are:
1. possible vulnerable MOD-s in target phpbb installation
2. colocated websites on same webserver |

Thanks for the reply, and as far as I know he doesn't have any MODs installed, and most of the non-standard features he made himself. He's a game programmer and a wiz at C++ and I'm guessing he knows php at least casually. I have a few ideas of exploits but no sure way to implement them. One idea I had was: he has a web server and it seems that anonymous users can upload files (may be mistaken, I haven't tried). I thought that if I could mod the files that resend passwords (already done this on my own site, converted the "generate new pass" to a "recover my pass" feature. Safe enough because I'm the only admin) and upload them to the server then just access them from firefox, reset the password, and have it sent to me instead of his email. This is not easy for me though since I'm a novice (at best) concerning php. I'm not sure about other websites linked to his, and my other idea (only other one that may work) is since the doc directory is still open to possibly access that, change some files to php to send me the password, then access them.
Here's all I have so far, which is the modded usercp_sendpasswd.php file

| You can upload and/or manipulate php files on target server? So what's the problem? You can do whatever you want then. With few php lines fetch the needed data from database or modify data directly. Php scripting level access is considered higher level than phpbb admin. |

Like I said these are just theories...ideas. I THINKI can upload. I don't know for sure. You also have to remember I don't know a lot of php. I don't know the lines. The best I could do would be
| Code: | | $pass = md5("w/e pass i want"); $sql = "UPDATE" . USERS_TABLE . " SET user_password = $pass"; |
This may or may not work, and like I said it's just to prove a point, not get revenge. Even if the anonymous FTP user CAN upload I have no idea WHERE the files would be. All of this is sheer theory. |

| Then first try to prove your theory and get access to php level. And then just write little php code which will fetch all users (or only admins) from database and write data to some file or just echo it back. And then try to crack md5 hashes you fetched. |

Well honestly I'm new to this. I'm a white-hat script kiddie (at best) so right now I need as much help as I can get. I know the sql (more or less) to fetch the password of a specified user, which is what I want. I just can't think of anything that submits and sql query with variables I can exploit. Honestly I don't think it has to be ME doing this, just anyone who can. Proof of concept doesn't care who creates it. I'll admit I'm a computer programmer but the languages I know well enough to use are either outdated (like VB6) or are disabled (like html). I'm also willing to admit I'm not a "master" of any language in the sense I don't know any language fully. I know enough to get by. I have NO skill with FTP since I've never used it before and thus I can't test any of these ideas. I do know that when I login with the anonymous account I do this:
ls
200 PORT command successful
after that it usually gives me a time-out message. When I logout it says
goodbye anonymous. You have uploaded 0 bytes and have downloaded 0 bytes. That is what gave me the impression the anonymous user could upload. |

If you can log in as anonymous but after ls command get timeout, then it seems to be firewall problem. From internet:
| Code: |
Common Firewall
* I can connect to the FTP server. The connection hangs after the ls, dir, put or get command.
o Use passive FTP. This is done with the "passive" command for most command line clients. If your client does not offer the passive command it will use active FTP properly.
|
So try to use passive mode. And "ls -la" is better choice - you can see dir and file permissions. |

| I'm using the built in (sucky,yes I know) windows ftp client, the one from cmd so I guess I can't use passive mode. I'll try allowing it in my firewall. Also thanks for the info about "ls -la" |

Once you have connected, then logged in use the following command from the Windows FTP command line client:
LITERAL PASV
You should see then "Entering Passive Mode"  |

Oh, thank you very much. I told you I'd never done FTP before and I suppose that proved it  . I'm only 19 so I deserve a break (not really but it's fun to say). Here's the output I got.
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 8 of 50 allowed.
220-Local time is now 08:31. Server port: 21.
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.

It can't be my firewall because it was turned completely off this time.
Also this may help:

| If you have no firewall between you and ftp server, then ls command must work without PASSIVE mode, and PASSIVE should work too. How you are connected to internet? From home, DSL? Maybe your ISP has firewall restrictions. Try some other anonymous ftp servers, like ftp.microsoft.com - do they work? Without PASV? |

| I have Charter, so I have a cable modem. I was able to enter passive mode but not much of anything else. If you look at my previous post you'll see the available commands for anonymous users. I may have posted after you started typing your response. |

| Still - try other ftp servers in order to determine, that is it common problem or related only to specific ftp server. |
