    Hi everybody.
    
    I was contracted by an enterprise to conduct a simple pentest, and I came
    across a really stupid MySQL installation: fully accesable from the outside
    and a really sillu user/password combination (user=pass......).
    
    I need to demonstrate not only the capability to drop databases and modify
    data, but to execute system commands and/or get files not accesable via
    web-server. I've thought of creating a table specifically designed to load
    infile /etc/passwd, for example, but I didn't like this approach after
    thinking about it for a nanosecond :)
    
    Any ideas?
    
    BTW, I searched the BID but nothing interesting showed up.
    
    Thank you!
    
    bye.....
