Posted December 16, 200519 yr hey. i managed to get hold of someones mysql backup and i had a friend get some passwords out of it for the forums and i raged it. i got busted cause my friend managed to leave my name behind in the admin panel by instead of copying my image link he copied my name aswell :| but anyway they have since deleted the mysql backup from there ftp but i backed it up. i was wondering if anyone knew how to get steam accounts out of it?! i will give you the backup if someone tells me how to do it since i only want one account. thx
December 16, 200519 yr I host my own MySQL server on my Apache webserver, I could just put the databases you downloaded into my databases folder and with phpmyadmin (MySQL easy monitoring proggy) browse through the databases looking for whatever you need. If you want me to, add me on msn: [email protected]
December 31, 200519 yr You may have some difficulty here. Most forum's database encyrpt/hash user's passwords for security. The most popular method I see is md5 -- Infact it's even a native PHP function. The algorhythm of MD5 checksums are made wherefore you can enter a password, receive a hash, and not be able decrypt. Although, depending on your CPU power, you can always try brute forcing.
January 1, 200619 yr You can generate your own rainbow tables and cut the time to "decrypt" (match to a plaintext value) a password down to like 2 minutes or <. Or just upload it to a site that has enormous rainbow tables for md5 already ( http://www.milw0rm.com/md5/list.php , seems to be down at the moment though, I'm sure you can find others through google)
