try on your machine
The command you provided is using a tool called "gobuster" with the "vhost" mode. It is used for directory and virtual host brute-forcing or enumeration.
Here's a breakdown of the command and its options:
gobuster
: This is the name of the tool that will be executed.vhost
: This is the mode flag of gobuster that specifies it should perform a virtual host-based enumeration.--url
: This option specifies the target URL to scan. In this case, the target URL ishttps://example.com
. The syntax${https:--example-com-}
suggests that${}
is used to substitute the value within it. So, the actual URL could be replaced with the result of a variable or command substitution.--wordlist
: This option specifies the wordlist to be used for the enumeration. In the command,${filename}
indicates that the wordlist is a variable or command substitution, and its value should be provided in its place.
To summarize, the command runs gobuster to perform a virtual host-based enumeration on the given URL (https://example.com
) using a wordlist specified by the value of ${filename}
.
