Hi All.
Just a strange story
PHP mysql_query method does not support multiple (stacked) queries.
Then even if I can read username and password from the selected DB the problem remains cause if the password is hashed using, for instance, the MySQL PASSWORD() function is a 41 digits. Using cracker as John The Ripper or Cain and Abel and/or Rainbow tables is useful ONLY if those passwords are 7-10 digits long. If they are, for instance, 15 digits it will take centuries to decrypt them.
BUT... one of my friends has been attacked with queries using ONLY the SELECT statement. I mean, the attacker had full access to the admin page simply ovverriding the administration page! He is using PHP-MySQL. How is it possible?
Hope you can shed some more lights on this subject. Many thanks
