dirsearch: Scan a list of web servers for common paths with the `.php` extension.
$ dirsearch --url-list ${path-to-url-list-txt} --extensions ${php}
try on your machine
This command uses the tool "dirsearch" to perform directory and file enumeration on a list of URLs that are stored in a text file.
Here's the breakdown of the command:
dirsearch
: The tool or program being executed.--url-list ${path-to-url-list-txt}
: Specifies the path to a text file that contains a list of URLs. This file should be in the specified path, and the placeholder${path-to-url-list-txt}
needs to be replaced with the actual path to the file on your system.--extensions ${php}
: This option tells the tool to search for files with the ".php" extension. The placeholder${php}
needs to be replaced with the actual extension you want to use. In this case, it is set to PHP files.
By running this command, the dirsearch tool will iterate through each URL listed in the file and check for the existence of files with the specified extension (in this case, PHP files) in their directories. It helps in finding potential vulnerabilities or hidden files on a web server.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
