`SMF is a very hardened php application. If anyone wants an example of some interesting PHP security SMF is a good place to look. Even after being able to injection SQL I had to take another step and bypass some difficult filters found in the db_query() function. Ultimately i was able to do so. This exploit is using blind sql injection. although you might not believe it on how fast it is. It can take less than 20 seconds to obtain a 40byte hash on a remote server!
