What is a .htaccess Backdoor Payload?
.htaccess backdoor payloads exploit Apache configuration files to bypass upload filters, escalate LFI/RFI, or run hidden code on a vulnerable server.
Used in CTF, bug bounty, and real-world pentests, these techniques can convert images, text, or arbitrary files into executable PHP—sometimes enabling shell uploads or privilege escalation with just a few lines.

CTF and Red Team Usage
These payloads should only be used in authorized environments for training, CTF, or permitted pentesting.
Many servers restrict .htaccess, so test on CTF labs or your own virtual machines first.
Privdayz does not encourage illegal or unauthorized usage.
