🎯 What You'll Learn
- Brute force directories and files
- Discover hidden GET/POST parameters
- Enumerate virtual hosts
- Filter and calibrate results
Overview
Most of an application’s attack surface is not linked from the home page. You learn to fuzz paths, parameters, and vhosts efficiently and to read results without drowning in noise.
Core Topics
- Wordlist selection
- Recursion and extensions
- Parameter mining
- Response filtering
Prerequisites
A working KaliRange lab environment and comfort with the Linux command line.
Recommended Workflow
- Spin up the target in your KaliRange lab environment and confirm connectivity.
- Enumerate the target thoroughly before touching any exploit — information first.
- Reproduce each technique by hand so you understand why it works, not just the command.
- Capture evidence (commands, output, screenshots) as you go.
- Write a short note on how a defender would detect or prevent what you just did.
Only ever run these techniques against systems you own or have explicit written permission to test. Practise inside your own KaliRange lab.
Your Goal
Work through every task in your own lab, document your findings as you would on a real engagement, then note the defensive takeaways.
