Intro

Welcome to the Attacking Web Applications with Ffuf module!

There are many tools and methods to utilize for directory and parameter fuzzing/brute-forcing. In this module we will mainly focus on the ffuf tool for web fuzzing, as it is one of the most common and reliable tools available for web fuzzing.

The following topics will be discussed:

Fuzzing for directories Fuzzing for files and extensions Identifying hidden vhosts Fuzzing for PHP parameters Fuzzing for parameter values

Tools such as ffuf provide us with a handy automated way to fuzz the web application's individual components or a web page. This means, for example, that we use a list that is used to send requests to the webserver if the page with the name from our list exists on the webserver. If we get a response code 200, then we know that this page exists on the webserver, and we can look at it manually.
