A fast web fuzzer written in Go.
Heavily inspired by the great projects gobuster and wfuzz.
Features
- Fast!
- Allows fuzzing of HTTP header values, POST data, and different parts of URL, including GET parameter names and values
- Silent mode (
-s
) for clean output that's easy to use in pipes to other processes. - Modularized architecture that allows integration with existing toolchains with reasonable effort
- Easy-to-add filters and matchers (they are interoperable)
Example cases
Typical directory discovery
By using the FUZZ keyword at the end of URL (-u
):
ffuf -w /path/to/wordlist -u https://target/FUZZ
Virtual host discovery (without DNS records)
Assuming that the default virtualhost response size is 4242 bytes, we can filter out all the responses of that size (-fs 4242
)while fuzzing the Host - header:
ffuf -w /path/to/vhost/wordlist -u https://target -H "Host: FUZZ" -fs 4242
GET parameter fuzzing
GET parameter name fuzzing is very similar to directory discovery, and works by defining the FUZZ
keyword as a part of the URL. This also assumes an response size of 4242 bytes for invalid GET parameter name.
ffuf -w /path/to/paramnames.txt -u https://target/script.php?FUZZ=test_value -fs 4242
If the parameter name is known, the values can be fuzzed the same way. This example assumes a wrong parameter value returning HTTP response code 401.
ffuf -w /path/to/values.txt -u https://target/script.php?valid_name=FUZZ -fc 401
POST data fuzzing
This is a very straightforward operation, again by using the FUZZ
keyword. This example is fuzzing only part of the POST request. We're again filtering out the 401 responses.
ffuf -w /path/to/postdata.txt -X POST -d "username=admin\&password=FUZZ" -u https://target/login.php -fc 401
Using external mutator to produce test cases
For this example, we'll fuzz JSON data that's sent over POST. Radamsa is used as the mutator.
When --input-cmd
is used, ffuf will display matches as their position. This same position value will be available for the callee as an environment variable $FFUF_NUM
. We'll use this position value as the seed for the mutator. Files example1.txt and example2.txt contain valid JSON payloads. We are matching all the responses, but filtering out response code 400 - Bad request
:
ffuf --input-cmd 'radamsa --seed $FFUF_NUM example1.txt example2.txt' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -u https://ffuf.io.fi/ -mc all -fc 400
It of course isn't very efficient to call the mutator for each payload, so we can also pre-generate the payloads, still using Radamsa as an example:
# Generate 1000 example payloads
radamsa -n 1000 -o %n.txt example1.txt example2.txt
# This results into files 1.txt ... 1000.txt
# Now we can just read the payload data in a loop from file for ffuf
ffuf --input-cmd 'cat $FFUF_NUM.txt' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -u https://ffuf.io.fi/ -mc all -fc 400
Usage
To define the test case for ffuf, use the keyword FUZZ
anywhere in the URL (-u
), headers (-H
), or POST data (-d
).
Usage of ./ffuf:
-D DirSearch style wordlist compatibility mode. Used in conjunction with -e flag. Replaces %EXT% in wordlist entry with each of the extensions provided by -e.

-input-num int
Number of inputs to test. Used in conjunction with --input-cmd. (default 100)
-k TLS identity verification
-mc string
Match HTTP status codes from respose, use "all" to match every response code. (default "200,204,301,302,307,401,403")

-p delay
Seconds of delay between requests, or a range of random delay. For example "0.1" or "0.1-2.0"
-r Follow redirects
-s Do not print additional information (silent mode)
-sa
