Havij Walkthrough (For the Curious & Cautious)
Heads up: This is strictly for learning, all right? Don’t be that person. Messing around with stuff you don’t own is illegal and, honestly, not cool.
So, you wanna peek at Havij? Here’s how people roll with it—again, just to understand how the tool works, not to go full cyber-villain.
Step One: Fire It Up
Pop open Havij. You’ll see a box that says “Target” and a button that screams “Analyze.” Straightforward, right?
Step Two: Hunting for a Test Dummy
Google is your friend (or maybe your accomplice?). Try something like:
inurl:index.php?id:
Slap that into Google, and it spits out websites with URLs like www.example.com/index.php?id=123. These are your potential “test subjects.”
Step Three: Poking for Weaknesses
Grab a URL from your Google results. Say, www.example.com/index.php?id=123.
Now, tack on a single quote at the end: www.example.com/index.php?id=123'
If the site starts coughing up weird SQL errors or the page breaks, bingo—probably vulnerable.
Step Four: Letting Havij Do Its Thing
Drop the original URL (minus the quote) into the “Target” box in Havij. Example: www.example.com/index.php?id=123.
Smash that “Analyze” button.
If you’re lucky (or unlucky, depending on your perspective), Havij spits out a list of database goodies down below.
Step Five: Digging Around
Hit “Get Tables.” Wait for a list of database tables to pop up.
Look for anything spicy—tables with names like “users” or “admin.” Those usually hold the keys to the kingdom.
Step Six: Tracking Down the Admin Portal
Click “Find Admin” in Havij. Toss in the base URL (like www.example.com).
Havij’ll go poking around for admin login pages—think www.example.com/Admin_Login.php or something similar.
Step Seven: Knock, Knock. Who’s There?
If you managed to snag an admin username and password, you can try logging in.
If you get in, congrats, you’ve just walked through someone else’s front door (again, don’t actually do this without permission).
Step Eight: Exploring (Theoretically)
Poke around, see what’s inside, but—important—don’t touch anything you’re not supposed to. Curiosity is one thing; breaking the law is another.
Last Word:
Seriously, don’t go full black-hat. Only test stuff you own or have been given the green light for. Getting arrested is just not a vibe.
Questions? Drop 'em below. And remember: stay curious, stay ethical.
