Directory-BruteForcer

Overview

Directory-BruteForcer is a Python-based tool designed for educational and research purposes. It helps in discovering hidden directories or endpoints on a website that might not be publicly visible or easily accessible. These directories can often contain valuable information for security research and penetration testing activities.

This tool is intended for use in authorized, controlled environments or with explicit permission from the website owner, such as during ethical hacking exercises or penetration testing. It should not be used for unauthorized activities.

Features

• Performs brute-force searches for hidden directories on websites.
• Helps identify potentially important directories that are not easily discoverable.
• Aims to demonstrate the concept of directory enumeration in web security.

Getting Started

Installation

To use Directory-BruteForcer, ensure that you have Python installed on your machine. Clone the repository and install the required dependencies:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/iapoorv01/Directory-BruteForcer.git
   

Usage

1. Open the Directory-BruteForcer.py file in your terminal or IDE.
2. Run the script and provide the target website URL:

   python directories.py 
   

3. The script will begin searching for hidden directories using common directory names and patterns.

Note: This tool is designed for use on websites where you have explicit permission to perform security testing.

Ethical Guidelines

• Only use this tool on websites where you have explicit permission to perform security testing. Unauthorized scanning or probing of websites can be illegal.
• The primary goal is education, research, and improving security.
• Use the tool to practice your skills in ethical hacking environments, such as Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges, penetration testing labs, or bug bounty programs.
