ffuf – Fast Web Fuzzer Linux Tool Written in Go
Fuzzing is the automatic process of giving random input to an application to look for any errors or any unexpected behavior. But finding any hidden directories and files on any web server can also be categorized under fuzzing. If we try to perform this process manually then it can take dozens of months to find the directories on the server. So the automation approach is the best for performing fuzzing.
