News 7th January 2008 - Version 0.9.10 is now available Fixed a bug that prevented DirBuster from running on a Java version below 1.5. While it now runs under Java 1.5, sorting of results is disabled 7th January 2008 - Version 0.9.9 only works with Java 1.6 or above I am looking into the problem and a fix should be released soon. 3rd January 2008 - Version 0.9.9 is now available All files uploaded to source forge and ready for download! 18th December 2007 - Version 0.9.9 almost finished 0.9.9 is currently going though testing and should be released soon expect the following improvements: Handle NTML auth URL fuzzing for dirs/files, for example http://example.com/view.jsp?url=test.jsp can now be tested Improved gui design Improved how the results are displayed more bug fixes Also I have done considerable work on the spider used to generate the directory and file lists. I hope to rerunning this soon, with the aim of collecting information on a lot more things to produce lists that are useful to other tools. I expect to have new lists ready in March - April 2008. 3rd October 2007 - Version 0.9.8 finished After many field tests 0.9.8 is ready. Improvements include: Faster up to 6000 requests/seconds Parsing of HTML pages found Scanning of multiple file extensions Multiple bug fixes Minor improvements to the GUI Overview DirBuster is a multi threaded java application designed to brute force directories and files names on web/application servers. Often is the case now of what looks like a web server in a state of default installation is actually not, and has pages and applications hidden within. DirBuster attempts to find these. However tools of this nature are often as only good as the directory and file list they come with. A different approach was taken to generating this. The list was generated from scratch, by crawling the Internet and collecting the directory and files that are actually used by developers! DirBuster comes a total of 9 different lists (Further information can be found below), this makes DirBuster extremely effective at finding those hidden files and directories. And if that was not enough DirBuster also has the option to perform a pure brute force, which leaves the hidden directories and files nowhere to hide! If you have the time ;) What DirBuster can do for you Attempt to find hidden pages/directories and directories with a web application, thus giving a another attack vector (For example. Finding an unlinked to administration page). What DirBuster will not do for you Exploit anything it finds. This is not the purpose of DirBuster. DirBuster sole job is to find other possible attack vectors.

Project Goals

The goals for the DirBuster Project are as follows:

• To produce a tool to that will assist in black box application testing, by trying to find hidden content.
• Ensure the tool produced provides information is such a way that any false positives produce can be quickly identified.
• Produce text based lists that can be used by the above mentioned tool.

Features

DirBuster provides the following features:

• Multi threaded has been recorded at over 6000 requests/sec
• Works over both http and https
• Scan for both directory and files
• Will recursively scan deeper into directories it finds
• Able to perform a list based or pure brute force scan
• DirBuster can be started on any directory
• Custom HTTP headers can be added
• Proxy support
• Auto switching between HEAD and GET requests
• Content analysis mode when failed attempts come back as 200
• Custom file extensions can be used
• Performance can be adjusted while the program in running

DirBuster Lists

DirBuster comes with a set of unique directory and files lists, these have been generated based on the file and directory names that are actually used by developers on internet sites. The order of the lists is based on the frequency of the item found. Therefore the most common items appear at the top. These lists are what make DirBuster.

NOTE: It will come as no surprise to you all that the internet is full of porn, thus it not surprising that the spider used to generate the lists visited a few along the way. Thus there are explicit words contained within the lists. My stand point on this is simple, this tool was designed to used as part of legitimate security testing, and if there are directories/files based on explicit words, clients would want to know!!

The following lists are included with DirBuster, or as a separate download:

• directory-list-2.3-small.txt - (87650 words) - Directories/files that where found on at least 3 different hosts
• directory-list-2.3-medium.txt - (220546 words) - Directories/files that where found on at least 2 different hosts
• directory-list-2.3-big.txt - (1273819 words) - All directories/files that where found
• directory-list-lowercase-2.3-small.txt - (81629 words) - Case insensitive version of directory-list-2.3-small.txt
• directory-list-lowercase-2.3-medium.txt - (207629 words) - Case insensitive version of directory-list-2.3-medium.txt
• directory-list-lowercase-2.3-big.txt - (1185240 words) - Case insensitive version of directory-list-2.3-big.txt
• directory-list-1.0.txt - (141694 words) - Original unordered list
• apache-user-enum-1.0.txt - (8916 usernames) - Used for guessing system users on apache with the userdir module enabled, based on a username list I had lying around (unordered)
• apache-user-enum-2.0.txt - (10341 usernames) - Used for guessing system users on apache with the userdir module enabled, based on ~XXXXX found during list generation (Ordered)

A download of just the lists can be obtained from here: DirBuster-Lists.tar.bz2

Future Development Plans

• Improve and finish the java portion of the program
  • Add documentation about the program eg Help, FAQ's
  • Fully document the code
• Improve the DirBuster spider engine that generates the lists
  • Gather information on things like cookie names, sub domain names, POST and GET variable names

Road Map

• 0.9.8 - Add HTML parsing (Complete)
• 0.9.9 - Implement the skip work functionality, NTLM auth (Complete)
• 0.9.10 - Maintenance release to fix a bug
• 1.0 - Complete documentation, generate new lists
• 1.1 - Implement functionality to process lists of default files and directories
