Reconnoitre VS dirsearch

Reconnoitre is an open-source SNMP tool that collects multithreaded information and service enumeration. hombre_sabio sees it as "a robust security solution… It builds directories for IT structures that store results from various sources. It automates collecting information using suggested commands and directory structures."

I am new to Python. With the help of several users (thanks u/Diapolo10 and u/shiftybyte)I've been able to install Python and the dirsearch package. Dirsearch (https://github.com/maurosoria/dirsearch) allows for checking website paths with a wordlist. For example, I have a wordlist file with words like "dog", "cat", "bird", etc and I want to check the validity of those words as extensions on a website. Something like "example.com/bird", "example.com/cat", etc. I have a test wordlist in the same directory as dirsearch, but I am confused on how to proceed with the commands. I want to have it check my wordlist as extensions on the example.com website and then save output on if the webpath is valid or not. Just need a little bit of help.

Empowered with a list of all the exposed URLs in your organization, you can then set up a process to scan these using a number of web-focused Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tools and scanners such as Zed Attack Proxy, dirsearch (Web path scanner), Aquatone, and Nikto2. The OWASP® Foundation maintains a full list of scanning tools that could be used.

Scan our domains and infrastructure to reveal if we have exposed.git repositories and other critical infrastructure. You can scan your domains and subdomains with many tools such as Amass or dirsearch to name a couple.
