It looks for existing (and/or hidden) Web +Objects. It basically works by launching a dictionary based attack against +a web server and analizing the response. + +DIRB comes with a set of preconfigured attack wordlists for easy usage but +you can use your custom wordlists. Also DIRB sometimes can be used as a +classic CGI scanner, but remember it is a content scanner not a vulnerability +scanner. + +DIRB main purpose is to help in professional web application auditing. +Especially in security related testing. It covers some holes not covered by +classic web vulnerability scanners. DIRB looks for specific web objects that +other generic CGI scanners can't look for. It doesn't search vulnerabilities +nor does it look for web content that could be vulnerable. |
