Description: Web server directory brute-forcer
DirBuster is a multi threaded java application designed to
brute force directories and files names on web/application
servers. Often is the case now of what looks like a web
server in a state of default installation is actually not,
and has pages and applications hidden within. DirBuster
attempts to find these.
.
However tools of this nature are often as only good as the
directory and file list they come with. A different
approach was taken to generating this. The list was
generated from scratch, by crawling the Internet and
collecting the directory and files that are actually used
by developers! DirBuster comes a total of 9 different
lists, this makes DirBuster extremely effective at finding
those hidden files and directories. And if that was not
enough DirBuster also has the option to perform a pure
brute force, which leaves the hidden directories and files
nowhere to hide.
