whoami.php

Create a file in a text editor called whoami.php

Place this code inside, save the file and upload it to public_html.

PHP Code:


			
<?php
// outputs the username that owns the running php/httpd process
// (on a system with the "whoami" executable in the path)
echo 'php is running as user: ' . exec('whoami');
?>

If you run this on a server where phpsuexec is compiled as an Apache module you will get these results:

php is running as user: nobody

If you run this on a phpsuexec enabled server, the results will have your username instead:

php is running as user: username
