Directory Enumeration in Cybersecurity: Tools, Techniques, and Practical Examples

Introduction:

Directory enumeration is the process of finding hidden directories and files on web server. Because sometimes the hidden directories may expose the sensitive information like login/admin panel, backup data or configuration files, which attackers can easily exploit. We can use enumeration to identify and find such weaknesses.

Tools Used:

In Directory enumeration I use GOBUSTER & DIRB in kali Linux. These are popular tools for brute forcing directories and files using wordlists.

Gobuster, dirbuster & Dirb :

The 3 tagets which I used to perform directory enumeration are;

  2. testphp.vulnweb.com
  3. testhtml5.vulnweb.com

Screenshort for each target website are attached.
