Introduction

Dirble is a website directory scanning tool for Windows and Linux. It's designed to be fast to run and easy to use.

How to Use

Download one of the precompiled binaries for your system, then run it from a terminal. By default Dirble looks for a dirble_wordlist.txt in the directory it is run from.

Example Uses

Run against a website using the default dirble_wordlist.txt from the current directory: dirble [address]

Run with a different wordlist and including .php and .html extensions: dirble [address] -w example_wordlist.txt -x .php,.html

With listable directory scraping enabled: dirble [address] --scrape-listable

Providing a list of extensions and a list of hosts: dirble [address] -X wordlists/web.lst -U hostlist.txt

Providing multiple hosts to scan via command line: dirble [address] -u [address] -u [address]

Building from source

To build on your current platform, ensure cargo is installed and then run cargo build --release. Alternatively, running make will build the binary in release mode (internally running cargo build --release).

To cross-compile for 32- and 64-bit Linux and Windows targets, there is a handy makefile. make release will build for all four targets using cross. This depends on having cross and docker installed (cargo install cross).

Performance

The following graph was generated by running each tool with Hyperfine against a test server with 5ms latency and 1% packet loss. (Gobuster was omitted due to lack of recursion).
