The command you provided seems to be using the tool "dirsearch" to perform a directory and file search on a specified URL.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
dirsearch
: This is the name of the tool you are running. It is a popular web directory and file enumeration tool used for website reconnaissance. -
--url ${url}
: This option specifies the target URL on which you want to perform the directory search. The${url}
placeholder refers to the actual URL you want to search against. -
--extensions-list
: This option instructs dirsearch to search for common file extensions in addition to directories. This could help identify hidden files or files that are not usually listed publicly. -
--wordlist ${path-to-url-paths-txt}
: This option specifies the path to a wordlist file that will be used during the search. A wordlist is essentially a text file containing a list of possible directory and file names that dirsearch will try in order to find valid paths. The${path-to-url-paths-txt}
placeholder should be replaced with the actual path to the wordlist file.
In summary, this command runs the dirsearch tool against a specific URL, searches for common file extensions in addition to directories, and utilizes a wordlist file to try different paths and find valid directories and files on the target website.
