gobuster: Discover directories and files that match in the wordlist.
$ gobuster dir --url ${https:--example-com-} --wordlist ${filename}
try on your machine
The given command:
gobuster dir --url ${https:--example-com-} --wordlist ${filename}
is an example of using the gobuster
tool in Kali Linux or other similar Unix-like systems for directory and file enumeration. Let's break down the command:
gobuster
is the command to invoke thegobuster
tool.dir
is an option for gobuster, indicating that we want to perform directory enumeration.--url ${https:--example-com-}
is another option specifying the target URL we want to scan. Here,${https:--example-com-}
appears to be mistyped, as it should be within quotes and not include the curly braces. Assuming it was intended to scanhttps://example.com/
, the command would be updated as follows:gobuster dir --url "https://example.com/" --wordlist ${filename}
--wordlist ${filename}
is another option that specifies the path to the wordlist file to be used for directory and file name bruteforcing. The variable${filename}
should be replaced with the actual path to the wordlist file.
Once you correct the typo and provide the actual filename/path to the wordlist file, the command will utilize gobuster
to enumerate directories and files on the provided URL.
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.
