🛡️ Vulnerability Scanning :
🔍 Fuzzing
In this section, we’ll learn about fuzzing using:
- 🗂️ Dirsearch
- ⚡ FFUF (Fuzz Faster U Fool)
❓ What is Fuzzing?
🧠 Fuzzing is a technique used in security testing to automatically discover hidden resources or unexpected behavior in web applications. It works by systematically sending large numbers of inputs (typically from a wordlist) to see how the server responds.
💡 The Goal:
- Predict or guess file names, directories, parameters, or API endpoints that are not publicly linked.
- Discover unprotected or forgotten resources.
📊 Why Fuzzing is Useful
- Identify hidden admin panels
- Reveal exposed configuration files (e.g.,
.env, .git)
- Find backup files (
backup.zip, site_old.tar.gz)
- Uncover unlisted login pages or APIs
