Configuration files

When the execution of the ffuf tool is started the tool firstly checks its default configuration file exits or not. Mostly the path of the configuration file is at ~/.ffufrc /$HOME/.ffufrc or can be at /home/gaurav/.ffufrc. In Windows OS this path can vary and mostly it can be at %USERPROFILE%\.ffufrc. There are configuration options provided on the terminal that override the ones loaded from the ~/.ffufrc file. For example, If you wish to use a bunch of configuration files for various scenarios, then you can define the configuration file path by using the -config tag which takes the file path to the configuration file as its parameter.

Fuzzing is the automatic process of giving random input to an application to look for any errors or any unexpected behavior. But finding any hidden directories and files on any web server can also be categorized under fuzzing. If we try to perform this process manually then it can take dozens of months to find the directories on the server. So the automation approach is the best for performing fuzzing. FFUF is the automated tool developed in the Golang language which is the fastest fuzzer tool in today’s date. It has various key features of manipulation the method from GET to POST and vice versa. We can use various wordlists for fuzzing the vhost as well. FFUF tool is an open-source and free-to-use tool.

Note: As Ffuf is a Golang language-based tool, so you need to have a Golang environment on your system. So check this link to Install  Golang in your system. – Installation of Go Lang in Linux
