Feroxbuster
FeaturedMIT🕸 Web Scanning · Rust
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.
