Discovery Methodology
Attempt to discover if it is possible to cause errors by injecting all input parameters with characters that are reserved in various contexts. Search web page sources (view source) for internal system paths.
Exploitation
Note if the web server is Linux or Windows based. Search pages with and without injection. Use the grep feature of Burp-Suite to seach for platform path patterns that match the web server operating system type.
