At a glance

Runs ffuf for DAST work: directory and file discovery, GET and POST parameter fuzzing, virtual host enumeration and filtered, recursive scans.

  • Works in 5 steps: Start with common directory wordlist → Review discovered directories (focus on… → Enumerate files in discovered directories → …
  • Discovering hidden directories and files on a web application under test
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Installation, Quick Start and Core Workflows, plus 8 more sections
  • Calls go, apt and brew

What it does

ffuf is a Go web fuzzer that replaces a FUZZ keyword in a request with entries from a wordlist. The skill covers installing it with go install and quick directory discovery, then walks through workflows: directory and file enumeration with SecLists lists, status-code matching and extensions such as .php and .bak, and parameter fuzzing of GET names and values and of POST form or JSON data, tracked with a progress checklist.

It supports the clusterbomb, pitchfork and sniper modes, recursive scanning with a depth limit and filtering by size or status to cut false positives. The listed uses also include enumerating virtual hosts and subdomains, checking authentication endpoints, finding backup files and sensitive data exposures and general reconnaissance. Findings should be validated manually and documented. The bundle adds a CI config template, a rule template, an example and a workflow checklist.

When your agent uses it

  • Discovering hidden directories and files on a web application under test
  • Finding hidden GET or POST parameters on an endpoint
  • Enumerating virtual hosts or subdomains of a target

Example prompts

  • “Run directory discovery against the staging site with the common SecLists wordlist.”
  • “Fuzz the parameter names on the search endpoint and filter out empty responses.”
  • “Enumerate virtual hosts for the test domain and list the ones that respond differently.”

Requirements

  • ffuf installed, for example with go install
  • Wordlists such as SecLists

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Start with common directory wordlist
  2. Review discovered directories (focus on 200, 403 status codes)
  3. Enumerate files in discovered directories
  4. Use recursive mode for deep enumeration
  5. Document findings and test discovered endpoints

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e25a4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • go
    • apt
    • brew

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com
    • owasp.org

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

ffuf Web Fuzzer loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 170 tokens; SKILL.md has 762 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~170
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 762 words (~3,339 tokens).

“ffuf is a fast web fuzzer written in Go designed for discovering hidden resources, testing parameters, and performing comprehensive web application reconnaissance. It uses the FUZZ keyword as a placeholder for wordlist entries and supports advanced filtering, multiple fuzzing modes…”
