[Guide] How to connect to someone's database.

[Minip2hn]

i got pretty mad when i saw everyone doing these guides like ''how to give database access'' instead of ''how to access the darn db'' so i made the guide

1. open up navicat/heidisql/sqlyog

2.click on ''Connection''

3.

Connection Name:blablabla1
Host name/IP address:<DATABASEIPADDRESS HERE!>
Port:3306
Username:Root
Password:<MYSQLSERVERPASSWORD>

4.Click Test connection
if everything is right, you now should see the ''connection'' of the host

5. Double click the connection

Voila! you got into someone else's database!

This is tested and proven on Navicat Light and heidisql
Also, not copied.

Sure that'd be easy if

1. They freely posted their database password on their website / wherever else.

yup. kinda useless though if u dont know the db info.

[Minip2hn]

may be, but i didnt do this for evil purposes AND the most commonly used passwords are Ascent and Root
u can get into pretty much any hamachi server's db

it's easy to find the IP of a database, but the harder part is with navicat 8 getting the 2013 error message all the time....

... Actually.. is the db pw root for the most part on ArcEmu, and Ascent it is Ascent..
so its pretty simple and ... its not useless..

You also have to Edit some things in the Config Files.

Host name/IP address

ehmm I'm using localhost/127.0.0.1 and I think many other people do that to.

As you said this is local host, meaning this will only connect to YOUR computer not anyone elses lol.
