dirb: Scan a webserver using the default wordlist.
$ dirb ${https:--example-org}
try on your machine

The command "dirb ${https:--example-org}" appears to be using the program 'dirb' to scan a website.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • 'dirb': dirb is a tool used for directory enumeration or enumeration of web content. It is often used to identify hidden directories on a web server.

  • '${https:--example-org}': This is the target website's URL. However, the format appears to be incorrect. It seems like there is a mistake in the syntax. The expected correct syntax would be "https://example.org" instead of "https:--example-org".

So, if the correct URL is provided, the command "dirb https://example.org" should initiate a directory enumeration scan on the "example.org" website, searching for hidden directories on the server.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
