How to find RCE: A list of pathways and detection methods

The text provides a comprehensive guide on Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities, outlining common pathways, detection techniques, and exploitation methods. It emphasizes the thrill and challenge of discovering RCE vulnerabilities in real-world scenarios, comparing it to an exhilarating experience. The guide covers various RCE methods including command injection, unsafe code evaluation, server side template injection, insecure deserialization, file upload execution paths, and container escapes. It stresses the importance of understanding the underlying principles that allow user inputs to be executed as code and encourages further research, warning that each section could be expanded into a detailed study. The text also advises on using these techniques responsibly in bug bounty programs, advocating for proof of concept demonstrations that are harmless and reversible, and highlights the importance of documenting and reporting findings clearly to enhance credibility and effectiveness in the security research community.
