dirsearch

Current Release: v0.3.7 (2016.08.22)

Overview

dirsearch is a simple command line tool designed to brute force directories and files in websites.

Operating Systems supported

• Windows XP/7/8/10
• GNU/Linux
• MacOSX

Features

• Multithreaded
• Keep alive connections
• Support for multiple extensions (-e|--extensions asp,php)
• Reporting (plain text, JSON)
• Heuristically detects invalid web pages
• Recursive brute forcing
• HTTP proxy support
• User agent randomization
• Batch processing

About wordlists

Dictionaries must be text files. Each line will be processed as such, except that the special word %EXT% is used, which will generate one entry for each extension (-e | --extension) passed as an argument.

Example:

• example/
• example.%EXT%

Passing the extensions "asp" and "aspx" will generate the following dictionary:

• example/
• example.asp
• example.aspx

You can also use -f | --force-extensions switch to append extensions to every word in the wordlists (like DirBuster).
