DIRB is a Web Content Scanner. It looks for existing (and/or hidden)
|
|
Web Objects. It basically works by launching a dictionary based attack
|
|
against a web server and analizing the response.
|
|
|
|
DIRB comes with a set of preconfigured attack wordlists for easy usage
|
|
but you can use your custom wordlists. Also DIRB sometimes can be used
|
|
as a classic CGI scanner, but remember it is a content scanner not a
|
|
vulnerability scanner.
|
|
|
|
DIRB main purpose is to help in professional web application auditing.
|
|
Especially in security related testing. It covers some holes not
|
|
covered by classic web vulnerability scanners. DIRB looks for specific
|
|
web objects that other generic CGI scanners can't look for. It doesn't
|
|
search vulnerabilities nor does it look for web content that could be
|
|
vulnerable.
