DirBuster

DirBuster is a handy tool that runs on Java. It helps you dig up files and folders on web or application servers that developers might have accidentally left behind. With tons of options and settings to tweak, it's pretty flexible!

Installation Made Easy

Getting DirBuster up and running doesn’t take long at all. You'll find its interface is a mix of a console frame and a simple graphical window. While it's not the prettiest thing around, it’s super easy to use.

Multiple Threads for Faster Scanning

This tool lets you work with multiple threads, which means you can pick how many to use based on your needs. Just enter the target URL where you want to look for files and folders, and then choose how to scan. You can go with list-based brute force using a local file or just dive into pure brute force mode.

Selecting Your Scanning Options

If you go with pure brute force, it tries out all character combinations for you! You get to choose which characters to include—like uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols—and set the minimum and maximum password lengths too.

Starting Modes: Fuzz Testing vs Standard Mode

You can kick things off with fuzz testing or stick with standard mode. Standard mode lets DirBuster apply brute force to both files and directories. It can even run in recursive mode, handle blank extensions, and consider specific starting directories or file extensions.

Advanced Features Galore!

This tool isn’t just about basic scanning; it can follow redirect links, run in debug mode, and parse HTML too! You can create an exclusion list for file extensions you don’t want to check out. Plus, there are options to extract links from specific HTML elements and add new tags with attributes.

User-Friendly Performance

DirBuster also allows HTML authentication and lets you add custom HTTP headers. You can even adjust the default connection timeout or limit requests per second based on your preferences.

No Stability Issues Here!

We put DirBuster through some tests, and guess what? No stability issues! It didn’t hang up or crash at all. Plus, it uses low CPU and RAM so it won't slow down your system while you're searching for those hidden files.
