✨ DIRB ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about dirb — a General Commands Manual girlie, and she is the Web Content Scanner 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

dirb — Web Content Scanner 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dirb <url_base> <url_base> [<wordlist_file(s)>] [options]

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

DIRB IS a Web Content Scanner. fr fr, that's the whole vibe. It looks for existing (and/or hidden) Web Objects. 💖

It basically works by launching a dictionary basesd attack against a web server and analizing the response. (Yes bestie, that's exactly how it's spelled in the original and I am NOT touching it, that's canon now 🙈)

no cap: dictionary attack + response analysis = the entire personality. That's it. That's the tool.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -a <agent_string> — Specify your custom USER_AGENT. (Default is: "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)") — yes that default is giving 2009 core and we love that for her 🌈
  • -b — Don't squash or merge sequences of /../ or /./ in the given URL. Leave those little path gremlins exactly where they are 🫶
