dirsearch - Web path discovery

BuildLicenseReleaseStarsTweet

Current Release: v0.4.2 (2021.9.12)

An advanced command-line tool designed to brute force directories and files in webservers, AKA web path scanner

dirsearch is being actively developed by @maurosoria and @shelld3v

Table of Contents

Installation & Usage

Requirement: python 3.7 or higher

Choose one of these installation options:

  • Install with git: git clone https://github.com/maurosoria/dirsearch.git
  • Install with ZIP file: Download here
  • Install with Docker: docker build -t "dirsearch:v0.4.1" (more information)
  • Install with Kali Linux: sudo apt-get install dirsearch
  • Install with PyPi: pip3 install dirsearch

All in one:

git clone https://github.com/maurosoria/dirsearch.git cd dirsearch pip3 install -r requirements.txt python3 dirsearch.py -u <URL> -e <EXTENSIONS>

Wordlists (IMPORTANT)

Summary:

  • Wordlist is a text file, each line is a path.
  • About extensions, unlike other tools, dirsearch only replaces the %EXT% keyword with extensions from -e flag.
  • For wordlists without %EXT% (like SecLists), -f | --force-extensions switch is required to append extensions to every word in wordlist, as well as the /.
  • To use multiple wordlists, you can separate your wordlists with commas. Example: wordlist1.txt,wordlist2.txt.

Examples:

  • Normal extensions
index.%EXT%

Passing asp and aspx extensions will generate the following dictionary:

index index.asp index.aspx
  • Force extensions
admin

Passing "php" and "html" extensions with -f/--force-extensions flag will generate the following dictionary:

admin admin.php admin.html admin/

Configuration

Default values for dirsearch flags can be edited in the configuration file, by default is default.conf but you can select another file with the --config flag

How to use

Dirsearch demo

Some examples for how to use dirsearch - those are the most common arguments. If you need all, just use the -h argument.

Simple usage

python3 dirsearch.py -u https://target 
python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target 
python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target -w /path/to/wordlist

Pausing progress

dirsearch allows you to pause the scanning progress with CTRL+C, from here, you can save the progress (and continue later), skip the current target, or skip the current sub-directory.

Pausing dirsearch

Recursive scan

  • By using the -r | --recursive argument, dirsearch will brute-force recursively all directories.
python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target -r
  • You can set the max recursion depth with --recursion-depth, and status-codes to recurse with --recursion-status
python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target -r --recursion-depth 3 --recursion-status 200-399
  • There are 2 more options: --force-recursive and --deep-recursive
    • Force recursive: Brute force recursively all found paths, not just paths end with /
    • Deep recursive: Recursive brute-force all depths of a path (a/b/c => add a/, a/b/)

Threads

The thread number (-t | --threads) reflects the number of separated brute force processes. And so the bigger the thread number is, the faster dirsearch runs. By default, the number of threads is 30, but you can increase it if you want to speed up the progress.

In spite of that, the speed still depends a lot on the response time of the server. And as a warning, we advise you to keep the threads number not too big because it can cause DoS.

python3 dirsearch.py -e php,htm,js,bak,zip,tgz,txt -u https://target -t 20

Prefixes / Suffixes

  • --prefixes: Add custom prefixes to all entries
python3 dirsearch.py -e php -u https://target --prefixes .,admin,_

Base wordlist:

tools

Generated with prefixes:

.tools admintools _tools
  • --suffixes: Add custom suffixes to all entries
python3 dirsearch.py -e php -u https://target --suffixes ~

Base wordlist:

index.php internal

Generated with suffixes:

index.php~ internal~

Blacklist

Inside the db/ folder, there are several "blacklist files". Paths in those files will be filtered from the scan result if they have the same status as mentioned in the filename.

Example: If you add admin.php into db/403_blacklist.txt, whenever you do a scan that admin.php returns 403, it will be filtered from the result.

Filters

Use -i | --include-status and -x | --exclude-status to select allowed and not allowed response status-codes

For more advanced filters: --exclude-sizes, --exclude-texts, --exclude-regexps, --exclude-redirects and --exclude-content

python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target --exclude-sizes 1B,243KB 
python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target --exclude-texts "403 Forbidden" 
python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target --exclude-regexps "^Error$" 
python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target --exclude-redirects "https://(.*).okta.com/*" 
python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target --exclude-content /error.html

Raw request

dirsearch allows you to import the raw request from a file. The content would be something looked like this:

GET /admin HTTP/1.1Host: admin.example.comCache-Control: max-age=0Accept: */*

Since there is no way for dirsearch to know what the URI scheme is, you need to set it using the --scheme flag. By default, the scheme is http, which can cause a lot of false negatives.

Wordlist formats

Supported wordlist formats: uppercase, lowercase, capitalization

Lowercase:

admin index.html

Uppercase:

ADMIN INDEX.HTML

Capital:

Admin Index.html

Exclude extensions

  • Use -X | --exclude-extensions with an extension list will remove all paths in the wordlist that contains the given extensions

python3 dirsearch.py -u https://target -X jsp

Base wordlist:

admin.php test.jsp

After:

admin.php
  • If you want to exclude ALL extensions, except for the ones you selected in the -e flag, use --only-selected

python3 dirsearch.py -e html -u https://target --only-selected

Base wordlist:

index.html admin.php

After:

index.html

Scan sub-directories

  • From an URL, you can scan a list of sub-directories with --subdirs.
python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target --subdirs admin/,folder/,/
  • The reverse version of this is --exclude-subdirs, which prevents dirsearch from scan recursively the given sub-directories.
python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target --recursive --exclude-subdirs image/,css/

Proxies

dirsearch supports SOCKS and HTTP proxy, with two options: a proxy server or a list of proxy servers.

python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target --proxy 127.0.0.1:8080 
python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target --proxy socks5://10.10.0.1:8080 
python3 dirsearch.py -e php,html,js -u https://target --proxylist proxyservers.txt

Reports

Supported report formats: simple, plain, json, xml, md, csv, html

python3 dirsearch.py -e php -l URLs.txt --format plain -o report.txt 
python3 dirsearch.py -e php -u https://target --format html -o target.json

More example commands

cat urls.txt | python3 dirsearch.py -u https://target --stdin 
python3 dirsearch.py -u https://target --format json -o target.json 
python3 dirsearch.py -u https://target --auth admin:pass --auth-type basic 
python3 dirsearch.py -u https://target --header-list rate-limit-bypasses.txt

Support Docker

Install Docker Linux

Install Docker

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | bash

To use docker you need superuser power

Build Image dirsearch

To create image

docker build -t "dirsearch:v0.4.2".

dirsearch is the name of the image and v0.4.2 is the version

Using dirsearch

For using

docker run -it --rm "dirsearch:v0.4.2" -u target -e php,html,js,zip

Tips

  • The server has requests limit? That's bad, but feel free to bypass it, by randomizing proxy with --proxy-list
  • Want to find out config files or backups? Try --suffixes ~ and --prefixes .
  • Want to find only folders/directories? Why not combine --remove-extensions and --suffixes /!
  • The mix of --cidr, -F, -q and will reduce most of noises + false negatives when brute-forcing with a CIDR
  • Scan a list of URLs, but don't want to see a 429 flood? --skip-on-status 429 will help you to skip a target whenever it returns 429
  • The server contains large files that slow down the scan? You might want to use HEAD HTTP method instead of GET
  • Brute-forcing CIDR is slow? Probably you forgot to reduce request timeout and request retries. Suggest: --timeout 3 --retries 1
