Question

MySQL

Is there any way to find out the IP address of the MySQL server that the site is accessing?
Excluding access to site configs.

Answer 1

You can - just ask the administrator where he has a database.

Answer 2

Most often, the site accesses the MySQL server at 127.0.0.1, or even to a local socket :-) This is if you do not consider monstrous sites designed for heavy loads - there the database will be somewhere else. But for most sites, the database server runs on the same host as the web server. And the call goes through localhost.

Answer 3

No, you can't access the site's files without access

Answer 4

in principle, if the admin is clumsy, then you can try to rush to the server's IP address.

Answer 5

telnet to the site address on port 80 + nmap + some kind of fingerprint can tell you which distribution is being used. and there you can look for how mysql is configured by default. usually either 3306 on the local port or pipe a file.
