CheatSheet - Dirbusting
Description:
Dirbusting comes into play onto webservers (port 80 by default) using directory wordlists. While it can be considered as vital onto low-security websites, it is usually rendered useless if the webserver can automatically blacklists your ip after too many requests. The best case scenario for dirbusting, is when the webserver has a good bandwidth, and is running http. In most cases, targeted websites have HTTPS enabled, which renders the dirbusting process extremely slow. The worst case scenario is obviously the webserver being able to blacklist your ip after too many attempts.
