Here’s a way to ‘hack’ a phpBB forum. Here you can gather the mySQL connection information for their forum database. View the .php info by using Google’s cache feature.

ext:php intext:”$dbms””$dbhost””$dbuser””$dbpasswd””$table_prefix””phpbb_installed”

Normally you would type ext:php intext:”$dbms””$dbhost””$dbuser””$dbpasswd””$table_prefix””phpbb_installed” into Google, but I’ve linked the query above for instant gratification, but remember this is just one of many ways to use google to search. I didn’t form these queries I merely searched the web for ‘answers’, and used queries from googles advanced search operators page.

As always. these posts are educational and should not be used for pwning or any such unethical ’stuff’.
