Where it shows in your logs
Endpoint OS (macOS, iOS, Linux, Android) · Path traversal (read or write arbitrary files) high confidence
What to look for
- Requests containing ../, ..%2f, %2e%2e%2f, ..\ or double-encoded variants
- Successful (200) responses to requests for config files, keys or password stores (web.config, /etc/passwd, .env)
- If file write is possible: new files in startup, cron or web folders
- Unexpected root processes or shells started by services
- New persistence: launch agents/daemons (macOS), cron jobs or systemd units (Linux)
- Outbound connections to rare destinations from system processes
