Most developers have wised up to SQL injection hacks, so this probably won’t work on the majority of websites. Still, if you find an older website with a login page, you may be able to use this hack to gain access without knowing a password.

If you see an error message that contains a bunch of SQL code including QUERY: SELECT * FROM, the website is vulnerable. If you get a simple error that says the username or password is incorrect, this method won’t work.

If this didn’t work, it could be because some sites block 1–+. Try using one of these as the password instead (still leaving the Username field blank): ’ or 1=1# or ’ or 1=1–. [3] X Research source If you’re able to gain access to the database, the ethical thing to do would be to alert the administrator. If you’re still not able to log in, the site is protected against this type of hack.

Passwords are encrypted the vast majority of the time—it’s extremely rare that websites and login forms are coded in basic, unsecured HTML. You may be able to use this method if you find a very basic website from a long time ago, or maybe the website of a new-to-HTML student.

If the website loads to a login screen (or if the login section is on the home page), you can skip this step.

If you don’t see any results, shorten the search to pass and repeat, then do the same with user, username, login, and other keywords which may describe login information. If you’re attempting to hack the website by logging in under the website’s administrator credentials, the username may be something like “admin” or “root”.

Close the source tab. Type in random letters for the username (or email address) and password fields. Click the Log In button. Re-open the source page by pressing Command + U or Control + U.

Again, the chances of anything you found in the HTML working as a successful login are extremely low.
