feroxbuster
feroxbuster is a tool designed to perform Forced Browsing. Forced browsing is an attack where the aim is to enumerate and access resources that are not referenced by the web application, but are still accessible by an attacker. feroxbuster uses brute force combined with a wordlist to search for unlinked content in target directories. These resources may store sensitive information about web applications and operational systems, such as source code, credentials, internal network addressing, etc… This attack is also known as Predictable Resource Location, File Enumeration, Directory Enumeration, and Resource Enumeration.

feroxbuster 2.4.0
Ben 'epi' Risher (@epi052)
A fast, simple, recursive content discovery tool written in Rust
USAGE:
feroxbuster [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] --url <URL>...
FLAGS:
-f, --add-slash
Append / to each request
--auto-bail
Automatically stop scanning when an excessive amount of errors are encountered
--auto-tune
Automatically lower scan rate when an excessive amount of errors are encountered
-D, --dont-filter
Don't auto-filter wildcard responses
-e, --extract-links
Extract links from response body (html, javascript, etc...); make new requests based on findings (default:
false)
-h, --help
Prints help information
-k, --insecure
Disables TLS certificate validation
--json
Emit JSON logs to --output and --debug-log instead of normal text
-n, --no-recursion
Do not scan recursively
-q, --quiet
Hide progress bars and banner (good for tmux windows w/ notifications)
-A, --random-agent
Use a random User-Agent
-r, --redirects
Follow redirects
--silent
Only print URLs + turn off logging (good for piping a list of urls to other commands)
--stdin
Read url(s) from STDIN
-V, --version
Prints version information
-v, --verbosity
Increase verbosity level (use -vv or more for greater effect. [CAUTION] 4 -v's is probably too much)
OPTIONS:
--debug-log <FILE>
Output file to write log entries (use w/ --json for JSON entries)
-d, --depth <RECURSION_DEPTH>
Maximum recursion depth, a depth of 0 is infinite recursion (default: 4)
-x, --extensions <FILE_EXTENSION>...
File extension(s) to search for (ex: -x php -x pdf js)
-N, --filter-lines <LINES>...
Filter out messages of a particular line count (ex: -N 20 -N 31,30)
-X, --filter-regex <REGEX>...
Filter out messages via regular expression matching on the response's body (ex: -X '^ignore me$')
--filter-similar-to <UNWANTED_PAGE>...
Filter out pages that are similar to the given page (ex. --filter-similar-to http://site.xyz/soft404)
-S, --filter-size <SIZE>...
Filter out messages of a particular size (ex: -S 5120 -S 4927,1970)
-C, --filter-status <STATUS_CODE>...
Filter out status codes (deny list) (ex: -C 200 -C 401)
-W, --filter-words <WORDS>...
Filter out messages of a particular word count (ex: -W 312 -W 91,82)
-H, --headers <HEADER>...
Specify HTTP headers (ex: -H Header:val 'stuff: things')
-o, --output <FILE>
Output file to write results to (use w/ --json for JSON entries)
--parallel <PARALLEL_SCANS>
Run parallel feroxbuster instances (one child process per url passed via stdin)
-p, --proxy <PROXY>
Proxy to use for requests (ex: http(s)://host:port, socks5(h)://host:port)
-Q, --query <QUERY>...
Specify URL query parameters (ex: -Q token=stuff -Q secret=key)
--rate-limit <RATE_LIMIT>
Limit number of requests per second (per directory) (default: 0, i.e. no limit)
-R, --replay-codes <REPLAY_CODE>...
Status Codes to send through a Replay Proxy when found (default: --status-codes value)
-P, --replay-proxy <REPLAY_PROXY>
Send only unfiltered requests through a Replay Proxy, instead of all requests
--resume-from <STATE_FILE>
State file from which to resume a partially complete scan (ex. --resume-from ferox-1606586780.state)
-L, --scan-limit <SCAN_LIMIT>
Limit total number of concurrent scans (default: 0, i.e. no limit)
-s, --status-codes <STATUS_CODE>...
Status Codes to include (allow list) (default: 200 204 301 302 307 308 401 403 405)
-t, --threads <THREADS>
Number of concurrent threads (default: 50)
--time-limit <TIME_SPEC>
Limit total run time of all scans (ex: --time-limit 10m)
-T, --timeout <SECONDS>
Number of seconds before a request times out (default: 7)
-u, --url <URL>...
The target URL(s) (required, unless --stdin used)
--dont-scan <URL>...
URL(s) or Regex Pattern(s) to exclude from recursion/scans
-a, --user-agent <USER_AGENT>
Sets the User-Agent (default: feroxbuster/VERSION)
-w, --wordlist <FILE>
Path to the wordlist
NOTE:
Options that take multiple values are very flexible. Consider the following ways of specifying
extensions:
feroxbuster -u http://127.1 -x pdf -x js,html -x php txt json,docx
The command above adds .pdf, .js, .html, .php, .txt, .json, and .docx to each url
All of the methods above (multiple flags, space separated, comma separated, etc...) are valid
and interchangeable. The same goes for urls, headers, status codes, queries, and size filters.
EXAMPLES:
Multiple headers:
feroxbuster -u http://127.1 -H Accept:application/json "Authorization: Bearer {token}"
IPv6, non-recursive scan with INFO-level logging enabled:
feroxbuster -u http://[::1] --no-recursion -vv
Read urls from STDIN; pipe only resulting urls out to another tool
cat targets | feroxbuster --stdin --silent -s 200 301 302 --redirects -x js | fff -s 200 -o js-files
Proxy traffic through Burp
feroxbuster -u http://127.1 --insecure --proxy http://127.0.0.1:8080
Proxy traffic through a SOCKS proxy
feroxbuster -u http://127.1 --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9050
Pass auth token via query parameter
feroxbuster -u http://127.1 --query token=0123456789ABCDEF
Find links in javascript/html and make additional requests based on results
feroxbuster -u http://127.1 --extract-links
Ludicrous speed... go!
feroxbuster -u http://127.1 -t 200
