# Wfuzz - The Web Fuzzer

## What is this?

Wfuzz is a tool designed to fuzz web applications, it's very flexible, it supports:

- Recursion (when doing directory discovery)
- Post data bruteforcing
- Header bruteforcing
- Output to HTML (easy for just clicking the links and checking the page, even with postdata!)
- Colored output
- Hide results by return code, word numbers, line numbers, etc.
- Url encoding
- Cookies
- Multithreading
- Proxy support
- All parameter fuzzing
- etc
Wfuzz has been created to facilitate the task in web applications assessments and it is based on a simple concept: it replaces any reference to the FUZZ keyword by the value of a given payload.

It was created to facilitate the task in web applications assessments, it's a tool by pentesters for pentesters ;)
A payload in Wfuzz is a source of data.

This simple concept allows any input to be injected in any field of an HTTP request, allowing to perform complex web security attacks in different web application components such as: parameters, authentication, forms, directories/files, headers, etc.

## How does it works?
Wfuzz is more than a web content scanner:

The tool is based on dictionaries or ranges, then you choose where you want to bruteforce just by replacing the value by the word FUZZ.
* Wfuzz could help you to secure your web applications by finding and exploiting web application vulnerabilities. Wfuzz’s web application vulnerability scanner is supported by plugins.

For further information check the wiki at https://github.com/xmendez/wfuzz/wiki.
* Wfuzz is a completely modular framework and makes it easy for even the newest of Python developers to contribute. Building plugins is simple and takes little more than a few minutes.

Or check the README file for usage examples.
* Wfuzz exposes a simple language interface to the previous HTTP requests/responses performed using Wfuzz or other tools, such as Burp. This allows you to perform manual and semi-automatic tests with full context and understanding of your actions, without relying on a web application scanner underlying implementation.
