So it seems that in
/includes/sessions.php there's a little tidbit of code to generate the Session ID:
Code: Select all
$this->session_id = $this->data['session_id'] = md5(unique_id());
$sql_ary['session_id'] = (string) $this->session_id;
But where exactly is unique_id coming from? This vital piece of information is all that is needed to generate session IDs and it seems to be the salt to the hash. I see it being called from place to place but can't exactly find where it originates from. If someone could enlighten me I would much appreciate it! Thank you!
EDIT: I found it! Turns out there's a nice little site that I found which lets you type in any function for phpbb and it tells you in which file it's in. Turns out it's in the includes/functions.php file. CASE CLOSED
