In this in-depth video, I explore one of the most critical vulnerabilities in web application security—Path Traversal Attacks. Learn how attackers can exploit improperly validated file paths to access sensitive files like /etc/passwd by using relative or absolute path traversal techniques.

I begin by explaining the core concepts:

Absolute Path Traversal: Understanding how attackers manipulate paths to directly access the root directory of a server.
Relative Path Traversal: Unpacking how the ../../ pattern allows access to directories higher up in the file structure.

Next, I demonstrate real-world examples of these exploits in action, showing step-by-step how path traversal can compromise systems when developers fail to validate user input properly. To enhance your understanding, I take you through a hands-on challenge from Web Security Academy, where I successfully exploit a vulnerable web application using path traversal to solve a mystery challenge.

Whether you're a bug bounty hunter, penetration tester, or web developer, this tutorial will provide essential insights into path traversal vulnerabilities, exploitation techniques, and how to mitigate these attacks.

Stay tuned for more in-depth security content designed to help you identify, exploit, and secure web applications from various threats.
