I recently read "The Monk who sold his Ferrari" by our beloved Robin Sharma. Needless to say, it's a very well written book with lots of values.

Here are 5 life lessons from the above-mentioned book.

🧵👇

#productivity #growth #books #reading
[Summary]

In search of wisdom and happiness, the Protagonist, a seven-figure-earning lawyer, surrenders his possessions and traveled to the Himalayan foothills to study the wisdom of the Sages.

It is a story about materialistic success transforming into true prosperity.
1. Positive Thoughts

The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your thoughts. Mastering your mind means seeing setbacks as opportunities.
Occupy your mind with uplifting thoughts, because they will give you the energy you'll need to attain the success you desire.
2. Dealing with Fear

Do the things you fear, because you're building the foundation of success and leadership within yourself. Leading yourself first gives others the vote of confidence that you're capable of leading them too.
3. Attaining your Goal

-> Visualize your goal
-> Set deadlines
-> Baby steps daily
-> Enjoy the journey
4. Kindness and Gratitude

In life, your time and energy are the two valuable resources you could offer to anyone. So focus on the quality of your contribution.
5. Happiness vs Achievement

Don't sacrifice your happiness in the race to achieve big in life.
At the end of the day, your happiness is a choice you have to make and is a journey you have to take.
That's a wrap!

1. Hobby to keep you creative

Having a creative activity is essential for increasing brain function, focus, and emotional expression.

Writing, painting, doodling, journaling, stitching, crochet, DIY crafts etc are good hobbies to keep one creative.
2. Hobby to make you money

If you have turned your passion to profession, then it’s a different case but if not, try having a hobby that helps you make some extra money.

Examples for hobbies that can help you earn money are writing, singing, painting, coaching etc.

🧵👇

#productivity #growth #music
🚀 Music between tasks may increase productivity.

Although listening to music while working may have negative consequences, listening to music in between tasks might improve your mental performance and capacity to concentrate for lengthy periods of time.
🎗️ Music familiarity is best for focus

When we listen to familiar music rather than unknown music, certain parts of our brain that elicit powerful emotions and boost focus become more active.

When you know that a server is attempting to validate an image's intrinsic attributes and prevent Content-Type/Extension bypasses, you can upload a polygot file to get RCE.

But what's all this? How do I do this?

Learn more below.

🔵 Understanding how applications can determine file type

There are many ways through which an application can determine the file type. This detection could be based on extension type, magic bytes detection or more sophisticated detection using file headers.
1. Extension type detection

The easiest of all ways to detect a file type is using the file's extension. Example: dogs.jpg is a JPG file.

I have already written a thread to perform extension bypasses and upload a web shell. Check it out here:

There are many ways to upload a web shell leveraging the file upload functionality despite the server employing file extension blacklists.

Here's a thread on different techniques to obfuscate your file extension and bypass extension blacklists.

🧵👇

#bugbounty #bugbountytips
1. Case sensitive checks

If you're uploading a php shell like "shell.php", try uploading the same after changing the name of your file to shell.PHP or shell.pHp.
2. Multiple extensions

shell.php.jpg can be interpreted either as a image or a php file. Try shell.php.jog and shell.jpg.php.

Profit if either of them work.
