A new version of the OWASP DirBuster Project is ready to be downloaded.
If you are not familiar with this OWASP project, 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.
Features include:
Multi threaded has been recorded at over 6000 requests/sec
Works over both http and https
Scan for both directory and files
Will recursively scan deeper into directories it finds
Able to perform a list based or pure brute force scan
DirBuster can be started on any directory
Custom HTTP headers can be added
Proxy support
Auto switching between HEAD and GET requests
Content analysis mode when failed attempts come back as 200
Custom file extensions can be used
Performance can be adjusted while the program in running
