dirsearch VS steampipe

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.

dirsearch:

Steampipe is a tool for querying cloud APIs and other data sources using SQL in a zero-ETL manner.

Readers may also enjoy Steampipe [1], an open source CLI to live query Google Sheets [2] and 140+ other services with SQL (e.g. AWS, GitHub, etc). It uses Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers under the hood and supports joins etc across the services. (Disclaimer - I'm a lead on the project.)

be mindful of its AGPLv3 https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.21.8/LICENSE (AFAIK v0.4.3 is the last MIT release https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.4.3/LICENSE ) and the actual providers are Apache 2 <https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-plugin-aws/blob/v0.131.0...> (but I don't know if provider drift makes them compatible with 0.4 or not)

iasql seems to be AWS only, but good for them for taking this on:

In a prior post I showed how to install Steampipe in AWS CloudShell to instantly query over 460+ resource types from your AWS APIs using SQL, and another post on how to use the Steampipe AWS Compliance mod to assess over 25+ security benchmarks across your AWS accounts.

Readers may find Steampipe's [1] AWS Thrifty Mod [2] useful. It will automatically scan multiple accounts and regions for 50 cost saving opportunities - many of which are looking for over-provisioned or unused resources. For example, it's crazy how much you can save by doing things like just converting your EBS volumes to the newer gp3 type. Combine with Flowpipe [3] to automate checks and actions. It's all open source and extensible.

Steampipe [1] is an open source project [2] that includes an embedded Postgres to instantly query cloud, code & more with SQL. This release expands our plugin ecosystem [3] to be a full Zero-ETL platform. Steampipe plugins can now run natively in your own Postgres as Foreign Data Wrappers [4], as SQLite extensions [5] or as simple data export tools [6]. Please give it a try, we'd love your feedback and contributions!
