*ZenBuster is a multi-threaded, multi-platform URL enumeration tool written in Python by Zach Griffin* (@0xTas).
I wrote this tool as a way to deepen my familiarity with Python, and to help increase my understanding of Cybersecurity tooling in general.
ZenBuster may not be the fastest or most comprehensive tool of its kind. It is however, simple to use, decently flexible, and in practice only marginally slower than other "tried-and-true" tools like Gobuster.
Personally, I have been using it to help me solve CTF challenges on platforms like TryHackMe, and ha my implementation to be satisfactorily reliable.
This software is intended for use in CTF challenges, or by security professionals to gather information on their targets:
*ZenBuster is capable of producing a potentially unwelcome number of HTTP requests in a short amount of time.*
The de and contributors are not liable or responsible for any damage caused by misuse or abuse of this software.
*Please Enumerate Responsibly!*

Firstly, ensure that Python >= 3.6 is installed, then clone the repository with:
git clone
Next, cd zenbuster and, if on Linux: chmod +x zenbuster.py.
ZenBuster relies on 3 external libraries to function, and it is recommended to install these with:
pip install -r requirements.txt
The modules that will be installed and their purposes are as follows:
1. Python requests
- The backbone of each enumeration request. Without this, the script will not function.
2. termcolor
- Enables colored terminal output. Non-critical, the script can still run without color if this is not present.
3. colorama (Windows only)
- Primes the Windows terminal to accept ANSI color codes (from Termcolor). Non-critical.
These dependencies may be installed manually, with pip using requirements.txt, or with the script upon first run.
---
Once dependencies have been installed, you can run the program in the following ways:
./zenbuster.py [options] or python3 zenbuster.py [options]
python zenbuster.py [options]
Short Flag |Long Flag |Purpose
