About Feroxbuster

Feroxbuster is a tool designed to perform forced browsing (directory/file enumeration) and content discovery. It is built in Rust for maximum performance and includes features like automatic recursion, wildcard filtering, output file support, and resume capability. Unlike other brute-forcers, feroxbuster automatically discovers and recurses into new directories as it finds them, building a complete picture of the target's file structure.

About Kiterunner

Kiterunner performs content discovery specifically designed for modern APIs. Unlike traditional directory brute-forcers that only test GET requests against paths, Kiterunner understands API structure and tests multiple HTTP methods, parameter combinations, and route patterns derived from thousands of real-world API schemas. It ships with curated wordlists built from Swagger/OpenAPI definitions collected from public sources. This approach discovers endpoints that traditional tools miss entirely, making it essential for API penetration testing.
