A curated dataset of robots.txt disallowed directories harvested from the top 100K websites (Alexa/Majestic), useful for content discovery during web security assessments and bug bounties. It includes a focused curated.txt list of high-value entries like admin, login, and backup directories.

Use cases

  • find hidden directories on a website during a pentest
  • wordlist for directory brute-forcing in bug bounty recon
  • discover sensitive paths like admin panels and backups
  • supplement content discovery tooling like gobuster or ffuf
  • research common disallowed paths across top websites

When to choose

  • you need a ready-made wordlist of interesting robots.txt paths for web assessments
  • you want a small curated list of high-value targets instead of a huge generic wordlist

When to avoid

  • you need an up-to-date dataset - the list was last refreshed in 2019
  • you need a tool that fetches and parses robots.txt live rather than a static list
