  • Project mention: Looking for some help with this Python package | /r/learnpython | 2023-08-19

    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.

  • Project mention: Show HN: Hydra - Open-Source Columnar Postgres | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-19

    Nice tool, only unfortunate name, consider changing it. Already very well know security tool named hydra https://github.com/vanhauser-thc/thc-hydra been around since 2001. Then facebook went ahead and named their config tool hydra https://github.com/facebookresearch/hydra on top of it. Like we get it, hydra popular mythology but we could use more original naming for tools

  • Project mention: facebook hack | /r/Kalilinux | 2023-06-28

    If the tattoo studios aren't necessary to have been from facebook specifically, Osintgram is a pretty effective tool for scraping shit from Instagram really quickly that could theoretically be used to achieve this, if not perhaps in a roundabout sort of way like starting from one business you know and getting shit from their friends' info and so on. I could swear that I had known about a similar tool for facebook, but I'm drawing a blank right now...
