ummm.. ok  hint: it runs on most anything with php installed



VUNERABILITY / EXPLOIT
======================
Another very popular "guestbook" type of php script with many flaws...

1. XSS Vunerabilities lay in almost every field EXCEPT the message
body.
as a note HTML is defined as "off" by default in sign.php

"<SCRIPT>alert(document.domain);</SCRIPT><SCRIPT>alert(document.cookie
);</SCRIPT>"

the JS code is rendered / executed in the the users browser upon
trivial visit to
 http://[host]/blackbook/index.php

2. Default user / password is "admin / pass" and stored plaintext in
"config.php"

3. posts are stored in /blackbook/data/data.dat which is not protected
by default
information includes user / ip info and message info. the setup
appears to set
this perm, but it does not. setting up on a NT box completly makes the
user belive
it is setting perms 666, 777 etc.. ( umm.. this aint your fathers
*nix )


4. phpinfo.php ,  lets help remote enumeration some huh?
ref: http://security.opennet.ru/base/exploits/1054831094_2217.txt.html
