dirb
Web directory brute forcer with bundled wordlists; the classic before gobuster.
Dictionary-based web content discovery tool, older than gobuster and ffuf and still shipped with any Kali. It brings its own lists in `/usr/share/dirb/wordlists/` (`common.txt` being the reference one) and recurses into the directories it finds by default. It is slower than the Go alternatives, but there is nothing to install and its lists make a good first sweep. DirBuster is its Java GUI cousin.
