    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Performs fast, recursive content discovery on web servers using brute force and wordlists to find unlinked resources.
    • Offers high-speed enumeration with Rust's performance and supports flexible input, proxies, and recursive scanning for thorough discovery.
    • Use for penetration testing to identify hidden directories and files that may expose sensitive information.
    • Use for security auditing of web applications to detect predictable resource locations and potential attack vectors.
    • Use for integrating with proxy tools like Burp Suite to analyze and intercept discovered URLs during security assessments.

    From the README

    A simple, fast, recursive content discovery tool written in Rust

    Instead of having a 1300 line README.md (sorry...), feroxbuster's documentation has moved to GitHub Pages. The move to hosting documentation on Pages should make it a LOT easier to find the information you're looking for, whatever that may be. Please check it out for anything you need beyond a quick-start. The new documentation can be found here.
