Problem Statement

Knowing the directory where files uploaded are stored is important 
for reinforcing defenses against unauthorized access. 
Which directory is used by the website to store the uploaded files?

Flag Format: BUBT{///}

network_artifacts.pcapng

Prerequisites

  • Wireshark (basic use of filters, following HTTP/TCP streams, viewing responses)

Solution

From the previous problem NS2, I you notice you will see that the attacker is trying different paths (/admin/uploads, /uploads, /admin/, /reviews/uploads/)

I manually checked the responses for each path he tried and found a valid path that listed the file he uploaded.
