.TMP`. Notably: - The default path is typically `C:\Windows\Temp`. - The prefix is usually "php". - The ` ` represents a unique hexadecimal value. Crucially, due to the function's limitation, only the lower 16 bits are used, allowing for a maximum of 65,535 unique names with constant path and prefix, making brute force feasible. Moreover, the exploitation process is simplified on Windows systems. A peculiarity in the `FindFirstFile` function permits the use of wildcards in Local File Inclusion (LFI) paths. This enables crafting an include path like the following to locate the temporary file: ``` http://site/vuln.php?inc=c:\windows\temp\php<< ``` In certain situations, a more specific mask (like `php1<<` or `phpA<<`) might be required. One can systematically try these masks to discover the uploaded temporary file. #### Exploitation on GNU/Linux Systems For GNU/Linux systems, the randomness in temporary file naming is robust, rendering the names neither predictable nor susceptible to brute force attacks. Further details can be found in the referenced documentation. {% hint style="success" %} Learn & practice AWS Hacking:[**HackTricks Training AWS Red Team Expert (ARTE)**](https://training.hacktricks.xyz/courses/arte)\ Learn & practice GCP Hacking: [**HackTricks Training GCP Red Team Expert (GRTE)**](https://training.hacktricks.xyz/courses/grte) {% endhint %}Support HackTricks
