# File Inclusion Local file inclusion \[LFI] vulnerabilities allow the attacker to access files on the web-server. Remote file inclusion \[RFI] vulnerabilities allow the attacker to access files on a remote machine through the web-server. This vulnerability is not as common as LFI, but easier to exploit. If a file is writable and readable you can create yourself a web shell. **log files** are a good target for this. PHP comes with [built-in wrappers](https://www.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://nickbhe.gitbook.io/shikata-ga-nai-1/gaining-access/web/file-inclusion.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
