wfuzz: Save the results to a file.
$ wfuzz -w ${filename} -f ${filename} ${http:--example-com-FUZZ}

This command is using the tool called "wfuzz" to perform a web application fuzzing. Let's break down the command:

  • "wfuzz": This is the name of the tool being executed.

  • "-w ${filename}": This flag specifies the wordlist file to be used for fuzzing. The ${filename} placeholder represents the actual filename that should be provided.

  • "-f ${filename}": This flag indicates that the response of each request should be saved in a file. Similarly, the ${filename} placeholder should be replaced with the desired filename.

  • "${http:--example-com-FUZZ}": This is the URL endpoint that will be fuzzed. "FUZZ" is a placeholder that will be replaced by each value from the wordlist during the fuzzing process. The "http://example.com/" part is the base URL that will remain constant, and only "FUZZ" will change.

In summary, this command instructs the "wfuzz" tool to load a wordlist from a file, fuzz the specified URL endpoint by replacing "FUZZ" with each value from the wordlist, and save the server responses in individual files.

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.
