last dumb question

Yes, most websites are manipulated by directly uploading files to the server, rather than using some sort of online editor.

Technically, if you could upload a shell (Im assuming you mean one of those php-shells, like c99), you could edit things on the site.

Only a few sites really utilize a CMS. Building your own web site will help you understand. Just reading won't teach you everything.

fatso, I understand you may be upset because you're not getting the replies you want. It's OK to ask questions, but make sure to do some research on your own. Otherwise, if you continue to ask questions, it will make many people on the interwebs very upset. When you do research of your own, you will not only learn, but you will also gain confidence. You no longer will be upset.

how can i find a log in place on a commercial web site. they have to be somewhere otherwise no one can edit it.

(all things i learn here will not be used for black hat things, just for knowledge)

Your assumption is incorrect. Just because there's no admin account doesn't mean there's no way to edit/manage the website. E.g., go to http://www.target.com/. They still have their homepage content that updates every X amount of time, even if they are lacking a little "Admin Login" button at the top of each page.

They could use, like previously mentioned, FTP/SFTP, SSH, etc, or, if the people who wrote Target.com wanted to be creative, they could have some interface running on their LAN at Target HQ.

Btw...

From a recent IRC chat:

<bren2010> AH
<bren2010> OMFG
<bren2010> ALL THE SUDDEN RED
<bren2010> WTF Fluffy?!?
<Fluffy> Hello, bren2010.
<Fluffy> You seem very upset.
<bren2010> nah
* bren2010 is better now.
<Fluffy> I'm glad you are no longer upset.
<Fluffy> I also hope your day is going well.

So it would seem so...

EDIT:

I was upset when I realized I've been inactive. Now I'm upset that you revealed my intention of being on the forum today.

... PM me the time and place you're going to stage the intervention...

Revealing more secrets about me makes me upset.
