rwalk

A blazingly fast web directory scanner written in Rust. It's like dirsearch but on steroids. It is designed to be fast in recursive scans and to be able to handle large wordlists.

Unlike other tools, rwalk does not provide advanced fuzzing features such as parameter fuzzing, header discovery, etc.

Quick Installation

From homebrew

brew install cestef/tap/rwalk

With cargo-binstall

cargo binstall rwalk

From crates.io

cargo install rwalk

You can also download the latest binary from the releases page.

Documentation

Task Runner

This project uses braisé as a task runner. You can find all the available tasks in the braise.toml file.

Benchmarks

The following benchmarks were run on a 2023 MacBook Pro with an M3 Pro chip on a 10 Gbps connection via WiFi. The target was http://ffuf.me/cd/basic and the wordlist was common.txt.

Each tool was run 10 times with 100 threads. The results are below:

Command	Mean [s]	Min [s]	Max [s]	Relative
rwalk	2.406 ± 0.094	2.273	2.539	1.00
dirsearch	8.528 ± 0.149	8.278	8.743	3.54 ± 0.15
ffuf	2.552 ± 0.181	2.380	3.005	1.06 ± 0.09

If you want to run the benchmarks yourself, you can use the bench command:

br bench

Arguments can also be passed to the bench command:

URL="http://ffuf.me/cd/basic" br bench

Please take these results with a grain of salt.

"There are three types of lies: lies, damned lies and benchmarks"
