The command you provided is using the tool "feroxbuster" to perform some tasks with specific configurations.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  1. feroxbuster: This is the command used to run the "feroxbuster" tool.

  2. --url "${https:--example-com}": This parameter sets the target URL to be scanned by "feroxbuster". In this case, it seems to be set to "https://example.com". The URL is enclosed within quotation marks and preceded by a $ sign to escape and prevent any shell interpretation of special characters.

  3. --filter-status ${301}: This option filters the responses by their status code. In this case, it filters out responses with a status code of 301 (which typically represents a permanent redirect). Again, the value is enclosed in ${} to pass it as an argument.

  4. --filter-size ${4092}: This configures "feroxbuster" to filter responses based on their size. Specifically, it filters out responses that have a size of 4092 bytes. The ${} syntax is used to pass this value as an argument.

Overall, this command instructs "feroxbuster" to scan the provided URL, filter responses with a status code of 301, and discard responses with a size of 4092 bytes.
