I think there is nothing "specific" you could google for this challenge.
As always, "Code you see is code in use". No simulations.
A good idea is maybe to create the database/tables yourself and do the injections on your localhost with mysql console.

Good luck!

It would be more helpful if you post the error messages here, instead the way of solving.

I'm sorry about that. Actually figured what the garbled text was which I was getting as a reply. It was a gzipped version of the page. That is why I couldn't make head or tails of the characters. But now there is a new problem. My request gets timed out every time I send it to index.php . Even if I try without logging in and w/o adding the injection, it doesn't let me add entries to the guestbook. The code is what I posted yesterday. I can repost a short version of it here if you wouldn't mind (w/o the injection ofcourse).

Hmm, no idea what it could be.
You may post some code that does not spoil the vulnerability Smile

Sure , here is the code that I am using to post the message onto the guestbook. It seems to timeout everytime I try posting it. I do get some reply but it always ends with a timeout. Sorry about the late reply BTW.

$callserv = fsockopen("10.201.13.50",80);    //This is the proxy server at my university. Opening a socket to it.

                return;
        }
else {
                fwrite($callserv,$out1);
        }
while (!feof($callserv)) {
        echo fgets($callserv);
    }
fclose($callserv);
?>
 


It gets time out everytime I try to post something. This is the error message :

I was wondering why a request as the above would take so much time, while it posts properly from the browser in a very short time.

Are you sure you don't have to enter some kind of password to be able to use the proxy?

and why do you use a proxy? you could try the same without…
Contact only via c3BhY2VAd2VjaGFsbC5uZXQ= or PM...
Windows can be secure... but only if you don't use it Happy

It seems like basic authentication is sent in some http header.
Also some universities might require a proxy to connect to the outside (not sure here)

As i have no experience with proxies i cannot help here.
Challenge idea?

@ monnino : yes it needs a username and password. I have blanked them out by the (blah blah blah). Smile
