CWFF – High Quality Fuzzing Tool in Linux
The fuzzing process is an important process while doing penetration testing, Bug Bounty or even playing CTF challenges. Fuzzing is the very initial step for extracting sensitive data like password files, username files, directories, vulnerable locations, etc. We often make use of various tools for getting this information. We have to pass our custom word list for performing brute-forcing sometimes. But we have an amazing tool names CWFF which fuzzes the sensitive endpoints and parameters without providing any word list. CWFF tool is developed in the Python language and has many key features like recursive scanning, juicy info, js-info, and many more. CWFF tool is an open-source tool and free to use.
