PathBuster is a Python-based directory brute-forcing tool designed to scan a target URL for common directories using a wordlist inspired by Gobuster. It logs valid directories, handles redirects, and provides real-time progress tracking.
- 🚀 Fast & Simple: Scans directories from a wordlist efficiently.
- 🔄 Handles Redirects: Detects 301/302 and reports them properly.
- 📊 Progress Tracking: Displays scan progress dynamically.
- ⏳ Timeout Handling: Prevents hanging on slow responses.
- 🛠️ Error Logging: Catches and logs request errors.
This tool requires Python 3 and the requests library. Install dependencies with:
pip install requestsRun the script with a target URL and a wordlist file:
python main.py <wordlist_file>python main.py common.txtThen, enter the base URL when prompted:
Enter the base URL: http://example.com
- 200 OK: Valid directory found.
- 301/302 Redirect: Directory redirects.
- 400 Bad Request: Invalid directory request.
- Errors: Logged with the failed directory.
- ✅ Add multi-threading for faster scans.
- ✅ Save valid directories to a log file.
- ✅ Support custom headers for stealth scanning.
