STEPS: Create scripts in users’ startup folders. Modify files such as in .ftpd to execute arbitrary commands when a user connects. Write scripts to a web directory with execute permissions, and call them. Add characters such as ../ into a URL that serves content from a directory structure. Supply filenames that contain ../ or a URL encoded equivalent %2e%2e%2f. Test HTTP requests, forms, and cookies to find directory traversal vulnerabilities. Determine if a URL uses a GET query to see if an application is vulnerable to this type of attack. Encode and bypass file restrictions. Prevent directory traversal. 1. Create scripts in users’ startup folders. 2. Modify files such as in .ftpd to execute arbitrary commands when a user connects. 3.
