# File path traversal, simple case
Let's access the image.
We can now intercept this request in [Burp Suite](https://portswigger.net/burp) using the `Proxy`.
As we can see the name of the image file is being passed into the `filename` parameter.
Now, we can forward the request to the `Repeater` to makes changes in it.
Let's change the `filename` parameter to the following and forward the request:
```
../../../etc/passwd
```
We have successfully solved the challenge.
