Exam 312-50v11 topic 1 question 234 discussion

Analyze Web Applications: Identify Files and Directories - enumerate applications, as well as hidden directories and files of the web application hosted on the web server. Tools such as ☆Gobuster is directory scanner that allows attackers to perform fast-paced enumeration of hidden files and directories of a target web application. # gobuster -u <target URL> -w common.txt (wordlist) (P.1849/1833)

Gobuster is a Go-programming-based directory scanner that allows attackers to perform fast-paced enumeration of hidden files and directories of a target web application. It is a command-oriented tool used to brute-force URIs in websites, DNS subdomains, names of virtual hosts on the target server, etc.

The keyword here is fastest. Brute forcing is not supposed to be fast.

You can use -w option for using a particular wordlist, for example, common.txt or medium.txt to launch a brute-force attack for extracting web directories or files from inside the target URL. gobuster -u http://192.168.1.108/dvwa -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/common.tx

in my opinion letter D) is correct guys!!!

Wrong it's A, 10 threads

Hint here is: "the fastest way", using a wordlist is the fastest method in this case

correct
