Hey pal, is there a way that you can let me see the administrators panel of the vbulletin software?

I'm interested in learning the features -settings and options.

Also would like to see what information vbulletin provides to admins - Ip address, cookies, mac addresses etc.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm most interested in learning about the info vbulletin provides administrators about forum users.


Thanks


PS: I was thinking perhaps you could create a sub forum and bury it in the secret zone and give me admin status on that sub forum.

Administrators are universal, Moderators are forum based. You can see ip, there's no way to track Mac Addresses. The way vBulletin handles sessions is through the database, it sets up a cookie with an identification hash and then stores that hash within the database. It then checks the database against your cookie every time you view a page. You can't "pull" a password for example, you can only reset it.

Most of the user settings are permissions, Ranks, Reputations, Infractions and such. What can they see, where they can post, can you they edit, etc..

You can hijack sessions though. The password is stored with a one way MD5 hash + salt.
