📁 WebDAV Explorer

Challenge Overview: Explore a corporate file server that uses WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) for remote file management. This protocol allows users to edit and manage files on remote web servers, but misconfigurations can lead to unauthorized access, file uploads, and remote code execution.
🎯 Learning Objectives
  • 📂 WebDAV Protocol: Understand WebDAV methods and functionality
  • 🔍 Directory Enumeration: Learn to discover WebDAV-enabled directories
  • 📤 File Upload Exploitation: Master techniques for uploading malicious files
  • 🚀 Remote Code Execution: Execute code through uploaded web shells
🏢 Scenario

You've discovered a corporate web server that appears to have WebDAV enabled for remote file management. The IT department uses this for easy file sharing and collaboration, but the configuration may not be properly secured. WebDAV servers often have weak authentication or allow dangerous file uploads that can lead to complete system compromise.

🔍 Your Mission

Investigate the WebDAV server, identify accessible directories, test for file upload capabilities, and exploit any misconfigurations to gain access to sensitive information. The goal is to demonstrate how improperly configured WebDAV servers can be exploited for unauthorized access and potential remote code execution.
