About:
Feroxbuster is a high-performance web content discovery tool written in Rust. It uses multi-threaded recursive scanning to efficiently identify hidden directories, files, and endpoints on web servers. Its speed and flexibility make it a powerful alternative to traditional tools like Dirb or Gobuster.
Key Features:
  • Multi-threaded recursive scanning for speed
  • Extension and parameter fuzzing capabilities
  • Filtering options to exclude specific response codes or lengths
  • Configuration file support and flexible output formats
Use Cases:
  • Penetration testing and red team reconnaissance
  • Identifying exposed administrative interfaces
  • Discovering backup files or hidden API endpoints
Alternatives:
  • gobuster – Go-based tool; similar functionality but feroxbuster is often cited for speed and ease of use.
  • dirb – Classic tool; feroxbuster is significantly faster and supports recursive scanning natively.
