36.1 FFUF: Fast Web Fuzzing

FFUF (Fuzz Faster U Fool) ek vegvaan web fuzzer aahe. Request madhe FUZZ he word theva – tool wordlist madhun pratyek shabd tyachyajagi takto aani response baghto. Gobuster sarkhe directory shodh, pan parameter ani virtual host fuzzing pan ekach tool madhe. Kali var:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y ffuf
ffuf -h          # help – flags lakshat theva

Directory fuzzing (hidden paths shodhayche):

ffuf -u http://192.168.56.20/FUZZ \
  -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/common.txt \
  -mc 200,301,302,403

-u madhe URL, FUZZ jithe shabd basel. -w wordlist. -mc match status codes (200 found, 301/302 redirect, 403 forbidden-but-there).

Parameter fuzzing (konte query params accept hotaat):

ffuf -u "http://192.168.56.20/dvwa/vulnerabilities/sqli/?FUZZ=1" \
  -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/common.txt \
  -mc 200 -fs 0

Virtual host fuzzing (Host header badlun):

ffuf -u http://192.168.56.20 -H "Host: FUZZ.lab.local" \
  -w /usr/share/seclists/Discovery/DNS/subdomains-top1million-5000.txt \
  -fw 20

Useful filters: -fc 404 (filter out status), -fs 1234 (filter by response size – default page size ignore karayla), -fw 50 (filter by word count), -t 10 (threads), -rate 50 (requests per second – lab madhe pan soft raho).

Defence: WAF / rate-limit lava, unusual 404 floods log kara, backup files (.bak, .old) production var thevu naka, ani sensitive paths la authentication (प्रमाणीकरण) lavun theva. Samjla ka?

Ravindra Bagale's Tip

Not every row in FFUF's output is "interesting". Students use -mc all and drown in noise. First use -mc 200,301,403, then remove the default page size with -fs. Watch the Size column – where the size is different, that's a real find. Keep a rate limit (-rate) even in the lab – otherwise your DVWA will hang.
