Feroxbuster is a fast, simple, recursive content discovery tool written in Rust. Designed for web application penetration testing, it brute-forces directories and files on web servers using wordlists. Features recursive scanning, multiple filter options, proxy support, automatic calibration, and resume capability. Significantly faster than alternatives like gobuster and dirbuster thanks to async Rust. Essential tool for bug bounty hunters and penetration testers doing web enumeration.
