Path traversal (aka directory traversal) lets attackers read arbitrary files on the server like /etc/passwd, application configs and credential stores by manipulating file paths.
In this video the workflow shows how to discover and exploit path traversal bug then systematically bypass common filters with step-by-step demos from PortSwigger Web Security Academy labs.
What you’ll learn:
- Core concept: turning filename parameters into arbitrary file reads.
- Practical payloads
- Filter bypasses
- Hands-on PortSwigger labs
- Mitigations suggetions
