Alternative directory and file busting tool written in Go. DNS support recently added after inspiration and effort from Peleus.
Because I wanted:
- ... something that didn't have a fat Java GUI (console FTW).
- ... to build something that just worked on the command line.
- ... something that did not do recursive brute force.
- ... something that allowed me to brute force folders and multiple extensions at once.
- ... something that compiled to native on multiple platforms.
- ... something that was faster than an interpreted script (such as Python).
- ... something that didn't require a runtime.
- ... use something that was good with concurrency (hence Go).
- ... to build something in Go that wasn't totally useless.
Yes, you're probably correct. Feel free to :
- Not use it.
- Show me how to do it better.
-m <mode>
- which mode to use, eitherdir
ordns
(default:dir
)-t <threads>
- number of threads to run (default:10
).-u <url/domain>
- full URL (including scheme), or base domain name.-v
- verbose output (show all results).-w <wordlist>
- path to the wordlist used for brute forcing.
-i
- show all IP addresses for the result.
-a <user agent string>
- specify a user agent string to send in the request header-c <http cookies>
- use this to specify any cookies that you might need (simulating auth).-f
- append/
for directory brute forces.-l
- show the length of the response.-n
- "no status" mode, disables the output of the result's status code.-p <proxy url>
- specify a proxy to use for all requests (scheme much match the URL scheme)-q
- disables banner/underline output.-r
- follow redirects.-s <status codes>
- comma-separated set of the list of status codes to be deemed a "positive" (default:200,204,301,302,307
).-x <extensions>
- list of extensions to check for, if any.-P <password>
- HTTP Authorization password (Basic Auth only, prompted if missing).-U <username>
- HTTP Authorization username (Basic Auth only).
Since this tool is written in Go you need install the Go language/compiler/etc. Full details of installation and set up can be found on the Go language website. Once installed you have two options.
gobuster
now has external dependencies, and so they need to be pulled in first:
gobuster $ go get && go build
This will create a gobuster
binary for you. If you want to install it in the $GOPATH/bin
folder you can run:
gobuster $ go install
gobuster$ go run main.go <parameters>
Command line might look like this:
$ ./gobuster -u https://mysite.com/path/to/folder -c 'session=123456' -t 50 -w common-files.txt -x .php,.html
Default options looks like this:
$ ./gobuster -u http://buffered.io/ -w words.txt
