import request from a file

to import request from file you need to create a file containing the request as following:

HEAD PATH HTTP/1.1
Host: HOSTNAME
Connection: keep-alive

and then you can add your custom header like this:

HEAD PATH HTTP/1.1
Host: HOSTNAME
Connection: keep-alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0

to run the tool:

dirforce -u https://www.example.com/ -w wordlist.txt -r requestFile.txt

add suffixe and prefixe

for suffixe:

dirforce -u https://www.example.com/ -w wordlist.txt -s suffixe

for prefixe:

dirforce -u https://www.example.com/ -w wordlist.txt -p preffixe

thread

number of thread is the number of process running in the same time and each process send multiple request to the server, so the more threads you use, the faster dirforce will run.

to specify the number of thread use -t or –thread:

dirforce -u https://www.example.com/ -w wordlist.txt -t number_of_thread

output a header value

to output a header value you can specify it with –custom-header-o , example:

dirforce -u https://www.example.com/ -w wordlist.txt --custom-header-o Content-Type

add an extension for every word in the wordlist

you can do it with -e or –extension, example:

dirforce -u https://www.example.com/ -w wordlist.txt -e php,html,js

make sure to separate the extensions with “,” and do not include space

Filter

you can filter the output from response that include a specific term like “Content-Length: 0” with -f or –filter

dirforce -u https://www.example.com/ -w wordlist.txt --filter "Content-Length: 0"

lite mode

lite mode is an output option that:

output complete url
no color
no logo

to use lite mode use –lite example:

dirforce -u https://www.example.com/ -w wordlist.txt --lite

robots.txt file

by default the robots.txt file is used to find path you disable this option by using –norobot

    dirforce -u https://www.example.com/ -w wordlist.txt --norobot

Examples
