In Symlink you need to shell access like GNY,C99,r57 etc.. on website.. It's look like this
Now You need To create 1 directory with any Name like sym,test etc....
Now after Creating Directory You need 2 file

It's look like this.
Now Just Click on 1.txt file that you unzip a zip file. After Click on 1.txt file It include all Directory's of the Web-server check out below Image:
Ok done Now in Symlink we will check the Directory path like
1. /home/
2. /hsphere/local/home/c283273/
There are Different Path Just you need to check out it.
If you Click On "Home" You will get 403 Error Means Forbidden Error but never mid after you get this Error you need to add "Website Username"
To find WebUsers You need to execute This command
cat /etc/passwd
the path is "/Home/
After execute cat command it's look like above image.
Now Just find specific Target that have ADMIN LOGIN PAGE and CONFIG FILE
How did you find this specific Target site?
you need Server Ip and www.bing.com
To find Joomla,Wordpress and php site we can use this dork for it.
1. ip: 123.x.x.x index.php?option=2. ip: 123.x.x.x "Powered By WordPress"
3. ip: 123.x.x.x .php?id=
and more......
Finding Target site now you need to find config file. in joomla the config file name is "configuration.php" in wordpress "wp-config.php" etc.
You cannot directly see the file using like this
www.Target.com/wp-config.php
www.Target.com/configuration.php
But when we do symlink on specific Target we can show config file using Right click and view source..
It's look like above Image
This config file include site Database information like Database Name, Username, Password etc..
after getting this You can login into site data base and you can edit,delete of specific columns, fields etc..
But we need to change admin password. In many case The password is in MD5, base64 etc.. encrypted form. You need to Decrypt it... that's it.
after changing the password You know what to do...!!!
