The command you provided is using a program called "wfuzz" to perform a web application brute force attack. Here's a breakdown of the command:

wfuzz: This is the command to run the "wfuzz" program.
-c: It is an option flag which means "Follow redirects for all hosts and pages". When this flag is used, "wfuzz" will automatically follow any redirected URLs.
-w ${filename}: This option specifies the wordlist file to be used for the brute force attack. The ${filename} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path or name of the file containing a list of values to test.
--sc ${200,301,302}: This option specifies the response codes to be considered as valid in the attack. In this case, the response codes 200, 301, and 302 are specified as valid. These codes typically indicate successful requests or redirects.
${http:--example-com-FUZZ}: This is the target URL to be fuzzed or tested. The ${http:--example-com-FUZZ} is a placeholder indicating a specific format for the URL to be used. The FUZZ part will be replaced by items from the wordlist specified earlier. For example, if the wordlist contains the word "admin", the URL will become "http://example.com/admin".

Overall, this command instructs "wfuzz" to follow redirects, use a specific wordlist for testing, consider responses with codes 200, 301, and 302 as valid, and use a target URL format with the FUZZ placeholder.
