feroxbuster is a fast, recursive content discovery tool written in Rust that performs forced browsing against web servers. It brute-forces URLs with wordlists to enumerate unlinked directories and files that may expose sensitive resources.
Use cases
- enumerate hidden directories and files on a web server
- brute force urls with a wordlist during a pentest
- find unlinked content and sensitive resources on a website
- recursive directory busting of a target web app
- discover endpoints not referenced by the application
- scan a website for predictable resource locations
When to choose
- you need a fast, recursive directory/file enumerator for web pentesting
- you want a Rust-based alternative to dirb, dirsearch, or gobuster
- you need multi-platform support with a single static binary
When to avoid
- you need a full web vulnerability scanner rather than content discovery
- you want a GUI-driven scanning tool
- your target is not an HTTP(S) web server
