DirBuster is a tool used for discovering hidden directories and files on a web server. It does this by launching a dictionary-based attack.
apt install dirbuster
On windows, a number of sites offer the package for download. Just make sure to have the java environment installed as well. Kali Linux takes care of the dependencies. On windows, after installation, you actually need to go to the program files and find the executable in the location "C:\Program Files (x86)\DirBuster".
On windows, open "Dirbuster.jar". On kali Linux you can find it on the menu or you can run the following command
dirbuster #Kali command
Once the tool is opened, you need to push in a URL in the "target URL" section. In this example I tested my own local web server so I put "http://localhost" but you try this on your own webserver or get permission to try it on the webserver for some company.
In Kali, the list can be found in "/usr/share/dirbuster/wordlists/"
In windows, these will be in "C:\Program Files (x86)\DirBuster/"
So you can click on the browse button and select any one of these text files if you go with a list based search.
The search will be producing results as it scans the directories. you can pause the search or view it differently using the tree view. Its quite an interesting tool.
