Dirhunt is a Python CLI web crawler optimized for finding and analyzing web directories without brute-forcing paths. It detects 'index of' listings, fake 404 errors, blank index files used to hide content, and discovers directories via robots.txt, VirusTotal, CommonCrawl, and other external sources.

Use cases

• find exposed directory listings on a website
• discover hidden web directories without bruteforce
• detect fake 404 pages during a security audit
• crawl a site to enumerate interesting files
• find directories using robots.txt and CommonCrawl
• audit web servers for misconfigured index pages

When to choose

• you need fast directory discovery that minimizes requests to the server
• you want to avoid noisy brute-force scanning during pentests
• you want enrichment from external sources like VirusTotal, Wayback, and crt.sh

When to avoid

• you need exhaustive path brute-forcing with custom wordlists (use tools like dirbuster or ffuf)
• you need an authenticated application scanner rather than a directory finder
• you require a GUI-driven scanning workflow
