So at first we we have to do a nmap scan on our machine and the results for that are →

Directory Busting

After directory busting we gain knowledge about a directory called internal which we can use to upload files to the server and it works for us .Now we have to upload a php fie on there but first we have to check what file type works on the site and what all can be uploaded cause as we can see the php file wont be uploaded we can try intercepting our request by burp suite and then try a list of file extensions and see which one is being uploaded and we find out that phtml is the one we can upload and then we download a php reverse shell and change our IP and port in it and then change extension to phtml and listen with netcat on the port we are using after we do that we can go to internal/uploads/shellanme.phtml and then that would pop a shell for us.
