Hidden endpoints of the website can be used to perform Penetration Testing on the domain. Detection of these endpoints is difficult if we are using a manual way. So we need to have an automated script that can detect the endpoints of JavaScript links. LinkFinder is an automated tool developed in the Python language which detects the endpoints and their parameters on the target domain. The results are displayed in the .html format in the web browser, along with this we can also display the results in the terminal itself. LinkFinder tool is available on the GitHub platform, it’s free and open-source to use. LinkFinder tool also supports deep analysis on the target for more endpoint discovery.
