Enumerate Hidden Directories, Files, and Admin Interfaces
Most attack surface is hidden in paths the public doesn't know about — /admin, /.git, /backup, /config, /.env. The scanner probes a curated wordlist against any target and reports everything that returns 200 / 301 / 401.

How It Works
From target input to actionable findings in three straightforward steps.
Enter Base URL
The scanner will probe paths under this base.
Curated Wordlist
Tens of thousands of entries covering dotfiles, admin panels, backup files, CMS paths, and developer-oriented debug endpoints.
Status-Coded Results
Only meaningful responses (200 / 301 / 401 / 403) are shown so you can focus on real hits.
Key Capabilities
Purpose-built scanning backed by real penetration testing expertise.
Curated Wordlist
Battle-tested entries that map to real-world leaks — dotfiles, cloud metadata paths, legacy CMS directories.
Smart Filtering
Ignores soft-404 responses by fingerprinting the default-error template.
Status-Based Grouping
Results sorted by status code so authentication-protected paths surface next to public ones.
Pacing Control
Polite defaults for production; can be sped up for dev / staging.
Dotfile Emphasis
Probes /.git, /.env, /.DS_Store, /.svn, /.htaccess and similar high-risk leaks.
No Install
Runs server-side. No ffuf / gobuster setup needed.
