Summary0002438: gobuster - Directory/file & DNS busting tool
Description

Name: gobuster
Version: v0.8 commit: 6e8a646f9f83c7420d497485131a840aea97b571 (Will ask the author to tag release)
Homepage: https://github.com/OJ/gobuster
Download: https://github.com/OJ/gobuster/archive/master.zip

Description: Directory/file & DNS busting tool.

Reasons for it:
... something that didn't have a fat Java GUI (console FTW).
... to build something that just worked on the command line.
... something that did not do recursive brute force.
... something that allowed me to brute force folders and multiple extensions at once.
... something that compiled to native on multiple platforms.
... something that was faster than an interpreted script (such as Python).
... something that didn't require a runtime.
... use something that was good with concurrency (hence Go).
... to build something in Go that wasn't totally useless.

Additional Information

We currently have 'DirBuster' (Java GUI) "DirB (Dated/Discontinued?).
Both programs are about recursive brute force on web services. This does more (features which are not in either program or kali).

You need go (https://golang.org) : just download , following the installation instructions written there.
used golang version 1.4.2

Compiling:

go build

Running:

The tool works very well.

  • Kali 1.x - has 'go 1.0' in the repo
  • Kali 2.x - has 'go 1.3' in its repo

Not sure what version of golang is the minimum required for it to work, however its between 1.1 and 1.3 as its working for me on Kali 2, with repo version of golang.

Hi all,

Thanks for pondering this as a viable tool for Kali! I've spoken to @g0tmi1k about it and the releases that are in github are now being tagged as requested. Please let me know if there's anything else you need.

This is missing a entry in the Kali menu.
