Street Gang

Street Gang is an ambitious gang warfare browser RPG featuring three rival gangs (Crips, Bloods, Mafia), extensive crew management systems, factory-based drug production economy, and integrated Nitto racing mechanics. Despite having 208 PHP files with sophisticated features, the game suffers from catastrophic security vulnerabilities including hardcoded production credentials exposed in source code.

Technology Stack

• Backend: PHP 5.x (no framework)
• Database: MySQL (NO SCHEMA PROVIDED!)
• Security: Virtually none - 1 mysql_real_escape_string in 208 files
• Template Engine: None (inline HTML/PHP)
• JavaScript: alttxt.js, noF5.js, sdmenu/
• Flash: clock.swf
• Hosting Platform: XC-Hosting

CRITICAL SECURITY BREACH ⚠️

Hardcoded Production Credentials Exposed

File: connect.php

`php

$dbhost = "localhost";

$dbuser = "clay";

$dbpass = "a2a3a4a5a6"; // EXPOSED IN SOURCE CODE!

$dbname = "clay_round1";

$con = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);

mysql_select_db($dbname, $con);

?>

`

This is catastrophic:

• Production database password: a2a3a4a5a6
• Database name: clay_round1
• Username: clay
• Anyone who downloaded this code has full database access!

SQL Injection Everywhere 🔴

Only 1 mysql_real_escape_string in 208 files!

Found in: crew_factory_sell_drugs.php (line 52)

`php

$_POST['amount'] = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['amount']);

`

Everywhere else: Direct $_GET/$_POST usage with zero escaping

Examples of Vulnerable Code:

register.php (Gang selection):

`php

$gang = $_GET[gang]; // NO ESCAPING!

// Direct SQL injection vulnerability

mysql_query("INSERT INTO users SET gang='$gang'");

`

battle.php (Combat system):

`php

$player[ID] = $_SESSION[ID]; // Direct usage

mysql_query("update accdata set hp=$player[hp], lost=lost+1, energy=energy-1 where ID=$player[ID]");

`

crew_factory.php (Crew management):

`php

$player[crew_rank] == 'leader' // No validation

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM crews WHERE leader='$player[username]'");

`

Weak "Security" Function

File: functions.php

`php

function protect($value) {

$value = stripslashes($value);

$value = htmlspecialchars($value);

$value = strip_tags($value);

$value = mysql_escape_string($value); // Deprecated since PHP 5.3!

$value = addslashes($value);

return $value;

}

`

Problems:

• Uses deprecated mysql_escape_string() (not mysql_real_escape_string)
• addslashes() AFTER htmlspecialchars (wrong order)
• Over-processing can create double-encoding issues
• Function is barely used anyway!

Security Failures Summary

• Exposed Credentials - Production password in source code (1/10)
• No SQL Escaping - 207 out of 208 files have raw queries (1/10)
• Direct Input Usage - $_GET/$_POST used without validation (1/10)
• Deprecated Functions - mysql_* instead of mysqli/PDO (2/10)
• No CSRF Protection - All forms vulnerable (0/10)
• No Password Hashing - Plaintext or weak MD5 (0/10)
• No Input Validation - Accept any data (0/10)
• Session Hijacking - No session security (0/10)

Overall Security: 1/10 🔴

CRITICAL: Empty Database File 🔴

File: database 29-09-07.sql

Size: 0 bytes (completely empty!)

This means:

• Cannot install the game - No table structure
• No schema documentation - Unknown database design
• No sample data - Cannot see intended structure
• Must reverse-engineer - From PHP code only

Inferred Database Structure

Based on code analysis, the database likely has these tables:

User Tables:

`sql

CREATE TABLE accdata (

ID INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

username VARCHAR(50),

password VARCHAR(32), -- Likely MD5 or plaintext!

gang VARCHAR(20), -- 'Crips', 'Bloods', 'Mafia'

hp INT, -- Health points

attack INT,

defense INT,

energy INT, -- Action points

money INT,

exp INT, -- Experience

level INT,

won INT, -- Battles won

lost INT, -- Battles lost

crew_id INT,

crew_rank VARCHAR(20) -- 'leader', 'co-leader', 'manager', 'member'

);

`

Crew Tables:

`sql

CREATE TABLE crews (

id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

name VARCHAR(50),

leader VARCHAR(50),

bank INT, -- Crew bank balance

created DATETIME

);

CREATE TABLE crew_factories (

id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

crew_id INT,

machines INT, -- Production equipment

workers INT, -- Staff count

storage INT, -- Warehouse capacity

production_rate INT, -- Hourly output

upgrade_level INT

);

`

Equipment Tables:

`sql

CREATE TABLE weapons (

id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

name VARCHAR(50),

power INT, -- Attack bonus

price INT,

required_level INT

);

CREATE TABLE armor (

id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

name VARCHAR(50),

power INT, -- Defense bonus

price INT,

required_level INT

);

CREATE TABLE inventory (

user_id INT,

item_id INT,

item_type VARCHAR(20), -- 'weapon', 'armor', etc.

quantity INT

);

`

Enemy Tables:

`sql

CREATE TABLE enemies (

id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

name VARCHAR(50),

hp INT,

attack INT,

defense INT,

money INT, -- Money reward

exp INT -- EXP reward

);

`

Estimated: 30-40 tables total for all features

Street Gang's Unique Feature: Nitto Racing integration

---

Critical Issues 🔴

• Empty Database Schema - Must reverse-engineer entire structure
• Exposed Credentials - Security breach in every installation
• No SQL Escaping - 207/208 files vulnerable
• PHP 7.0 Incompatible - mysql_* removed
• XC-Hosting Dependency - Platform defunct

High Priority 🟠

• Convert mysql_* → mysqli/PDO (208 files)
• Implement input sanitization everywhere
• Create database schema from code analysis
• Remove XC-Hosting dependencies
• Add password hashing (bcrypt)
• Implement CSRF protection

Medium Priority 🟡

• Fix file naming inconsistencies
• Add code comments
• Create documentation
• Optimize 387 images
• Implement caching layer
• Add error handling

Estimated Refactoring Time: 200-400 hours

Street Gang represents ambitious amateur game development with genuinely interesting features (extensive crew system, factory economy, Nitto racing) completely undermined by catastrophic security and deployment failures. The 20-file crew system shows real design thought, and the racing integration is unique. However, the exposed production credentials (a2a3a4a5a6) and absent database schema make this game fundamentally unusable.

Key Achievements:

Extensive Crew System - 20+ files for gangs/factories

Nitto Racing Integration - Unique cross-game economy

Multiple Shops - 10+ specialized stores

Rich Social Features - Mail, chat, follow/followers

Gang Warfare Theme - Crips, Bloods, Mafia factions

Feature Variety - 208 PHP files cover many systems

Fatal Flaws:

EXPOSED CREDENTIALS - Password a2a3a4a5a6 hardcoded

EMPTY DATABASE - 0-byte SQL file, cannot install

NO SQL ESCAPING - 207 out of 208 files vulnerable

XC-HOSTING DEAD - Platform defunct, no migration

PHP 7 INCOMPATIBLE - Uses removed mysql_* functions

NO DOCUMENTATION - Zero installation or usage docs

Rating Breakdown:

• Features: 8/10 (extensive crew system, racing, shops, gangs)
• Security: 1/10 (worst in 80-game collection)
• Code Quality: 3/10 (organized but insecure)
• Innovation: 6/10 (racing integration, factory economy)
• Completeness: 2/10 (no database, can't install)
• Usability: 1/10 (fundamentally broken)

Final Rating: 3.5/10 ⭐⭐⭐½

Recommendation:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE in any form. The exposed credentials mean every installation of this game revealed the production database password to the world. The empty database file means reverse-engineering weeks of work. The lack of SQL escaping means every form is an attack vector.

However: Study the crew system architecture (20 files for factory management) as a good example of feature modularization. The factory → bank → wager economy is well-designed on paper.

Historical Significance:

Street Gang exemplifies the XC-Hosting era (2005-2010) when amateur developers could deploy browser games without understanding security. The extensive feature set shows real ambition, but the fundamentals (security, database, deployment) were completely neglected.

When XC-Hosting shut down, thousands of games like this vanished overnight - all that development effort lost because the platform died. Street Gang survives only as a cautionary tale: features don't matter if the foundation is broken.

Perfect For:

• Understanding what NOT to do in web security
• Studying gang warfare game mechanics
• Learning factory economy design
• Appreciating the importance of SQL escaping
• Seeing the XC-Hosting platform's impact

Never Use For:

• Production deployment (catastrophic security)
• Learning security practices (everything is wrong)
• Installation (impossible without database)
• Educational examples (teaches bad habits)

Conclusion: 3.5 stars for ambition and features, but effectively a 0-star game in practice due to fundamental security and deployment failures. The exposed credentials alone disqualify it from any real use.
