#PHP REVERSE SHELL CHEATSHEET HOW TO#
How to get a Shell from LFIīelow are some techniques I’ve used in the past to gain a shell on systems with vulnerable LFI scripts exposed. Note: In some cases, depending on the nature of the LFI vulnerability it’s possible to run system executables. Exposing sensitive information or configuration files containing SQL usernames and passwords. Normally a directory traversal payload is used that escapes the script directory and traverses the filesystem directory structure, exposing sensitive files such as foo.php?file=./././././././etc/passwd or sensitive files within the web application itself. An attacker would simply replace image.jpg and insert a payload. Scripts that take filenames as parameters without sanitizing the user input are good candidates for LFI vulnerabilities, a good example would be the following PHP script foo.php?file=image.jpg which takes image.jpg as a parameter. Typically this is exploited by abusing dynamic file inclusion mechanisms that don’t sanitize user input.

LFI stands for Local File Includes - it’s a file local inclusion vulnerability that allows an attacker to include files that exist on the target web server.
