Expose optional advanced parameters for dirbuster, like done for nmap

Open joaociocca opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Like the --nmap parameter, it would be nice to have a --dirbuster for overriding/adding custom parameters.

One such instance for this would to use feroxbuster's --dont-scan.

This could also potentially help solve issue https://github.com/Tib3rius/AutoRecon/issues/162, since the user could use --filter-status

Something like this is planned, but I want to make it plugin agnostic rather than specifically for the dirbuster plugin, so that any plugin could implement such a feature.

I could use the native plugin arguments feature (e.g. something like --dirbuster.append="--dont-scan") or create some way of passing data to plugins like: --data.dirbuster="<some data format, maybe JSON, here>"

Curious which option you think works better? I could hard-code the --.append option into AutoRecon so it's always there for any plugin author that needs it I suppose.

since I met ferox I never used or looked at other forced browsing tools, so I'm not sure I'm the best option for talking about this one. But I think, considering you want it for any plugin, the --data.dirbuster= would be a better choice, a more flexible one... for the dirbuster plugin specifically, and the cases presented so far, the --dirbuster.append="args" should suffice, no?

I'm a null in programming stuff, so I can't even volunteer helping with that, only ideas really =(
