Feroxbuster is a fast, recursive content discovery tool that uses brute force and wordlists to find unlinked web resources.
A fast, simple, recursive content discovery tool written in Rust.
Security professionals and penetration testers use feroxbuster to perform forced browsing attacks by enumerating hidden or unreferenced files and directories on web servers. This helps uncover sensitive information or misconfigurations that could lead to vulnerabilities.
Feroxbuster is designed for ethical security testing and should only be used on targets you have permission to test. Using large wordlists or aggressive scanning options may cause high load on target servers, so use responsibly. Consult the detailed documentation for advanced usage and configuration.
