dirsearch is an advanced web path scanner that brute-forces directories and files on web servers using wordlists. It is a Python CLI tool with recursion, filtering, proxies, session resumption, and a Python API.
Use cases
- discover hidden directories and files on a website
- brute-force web paths with a wordlist during a pentest
- enumerate endpoints on a target for bug bounty recon
- recursively scan a web server for sensitive files
- find backup files and common extensions like php, html, js on a site
When to choose
- you need a mature, actively maintained CLI for web content discovery
- you want features like recursion, extension fuzzing, proxies, and resumable sessions
- you prefer a Python tool that is pip-installable and scriptable via an API
When to avoid
- you need a full web vulnerability scanner rather than path enumeration
- you require a GUI-driven scanning workflow
- scanning targets you are not authorized to test - this is a security testing tool
