Gaining phpMyAdmin Access

Gaining access using vulnerable application could lead to compromise of the systems. Likewise here we take advantage of one vulnerability and gain access to the entire webserver. We identify the services running on the system and start enumerating these services. Further we check for known vulnerabilities and their exploits, which could compromise the system in gaining a shell to the system. Once a shell is accessible, it’s upon us for further attacks or post exploitation of the system.

However our aim is to get authorised access to the system using their own set credential for phpMyAdmin. Firstly, we use their credentials since if the logs are monitored it will display logins from the authorised accounts. Secondly, creating another user may indicate a red flag and will lead to identify the system has already been compromised. Hiding our anonymity this way would lead them to consider that the credentials had been compromised and they may change their password at most. Which hides our way into the system.
