Upload PHP Shell
Upload PHP Shell is a method used by attackers to gain remote access to a web server. In this type of attack, the attacker uploads a PHP-based shell file to the target server and gains unauthorized access to it. Upload PHP Shell is usually carried out by exploiting vulnerable file upload forms. When the parts of the server that allow uploads are not sufficiently protected, an attacker can upload a malicious shell file and gain full authorization on the server. Such a shell offers functions such as file management, command execution and database access.

Once the shell file is successfully uploaded to the server, the attacker executes it through the browser to access the shell interface. This interface allows the attacker to modify, delete or upload new files to the server.

Databases can be accessed through the shell interface, critical information can be stolen and the website can be damaged. Also, this type of shell’
