Websploit Directory Scanner

[R_Alex]

In the next few tutorials I will explain how to use the different Websploit modules. WebSploit is an open source project for web application assessments. In this tutorial we will be using the websploit directory scanner module and we will add some custom directories. Websploit directory scanner is a script which scans webservers for directories listed in the script and tells you they exist or not.

Due to many errors generated by the script, mostly 400 Bad Request errors on existing directories, I have edited the script. the issues causing the 400 Bad Request errors have been fixed now. I’ve also added a verbosity option so you can choose whether you just want to see existing directories or errors too. Code 302 Found is coloured green now instead of yellow. The new script can be downloaded here (save as):

Replace the script in the following directory in Kali Linux:

/usr/share/websploit/modules/directory_scanner.py
