Re: [Webappsec] script inside .txt file

Hi Prashant,

AFAIK there's no solution with FF as it uses Content-Type header to get
the right plugin/parser.

You could try to rename abc.txt to abc.php%00.txt (or whatever extension
the server will interpret) and upload it.
When it'll be downloaded, %00 will become a null char so the latter .txt
could be discarded resulting in a abc.php.

If it doesn't works try with double encoding. abc.php%2500.txt just in
case multiple layers/functions are present in the data flow.


Regards
Stefano
