Sorry for not asking you squirrle first off, but I Have read the code many times for the shoutbox and I think there might be some security problems with it. (not obvious ones, but it is php were talking about)

So here is the game, providing it's cool with red... Hack the shoutbox, I said HACK, not crack. Let's see what we can find from this program.

Not besides getting it to load outside of the Iframe... Im wondering if it will parse linux commands and how I can put them into there... this would be a much bigger problem for me, Im thinking...

I don't think it would work. Basically, what it does is turn the POST data into plain text, fixes it so " is " etc... (by default when you send data it does it the other way) and once it's fixed like that, it also changes < to the actual html code for < and does the same with > so that alone removes all possibility to parse html, then the next step is to change a few characters to other things, so turns to <b> etc... So it's not [ turns to < but rather specific tags.

I just thought of something. Is it possible for me to make a chat.php, but filled with malicious code, and then download your forum page, and execute the code locally but with the full url to the chat.php on your site? We did this on the hackthissite.org test and something similar worked.

You could easly do that, heck, you can even chmod stuff with php so before doing anything to a file you just chmod it via php. A php script could easly be written to delete all files in a directory, or do other stuff.

But the thing is, it has to be ON the server. And getting it on is the thing. But the easiest way for this would be through social engeneering.

"hey check out this new script, install it and run it"
Bang.

:biglaugh:

I should think Red wouldn't fall for that. :P A lot of people would though. :evilsmile: Hacking sometimes takes more than computer knowledge I would imagine.
