Working with Dirhunt Tool on Kali Linux OS

Example/Usage: Basic scan on target URL

dirhunt http://w3wiki.org

In this example, we are scanning for web directories on the w3wiki.org domain.

We have got the Generic files and directories with the status code of 200.

In the below screenshot, you can see that we have got the HTML documents files and directories. This can contain sensitive information.

In the below screenshot, we have got the links of redirection.

Web directories and files can contain some sensitive data like API Keys or Usernames and Passwords or sometimes SSH Keys. So to get the links to these files and directories we need to use automated tools. Dirhunt tool is an automated cyber security tool that acts as a web crawler for searching directories on a web application. It also detects the 404 false errors which contain empty index files that can be created to hide sensitive data. Dirhunt tool is developed in the Python Language and is also available on the GitHub platform.
