Wfuzz is a web application fuzzer and Python library for security assessments.
It works by replacing FUZZ keywords in HTTP requests with payload values, which makes it useful for testing parameters, forms, authentication fields, directories, files, cookies, headers, and other request components. The project also includes companion tools for payload generation and encoding, giving testers a flexible toolkit for manual and semi-automatic web application testing.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Injects payload data into many parts of an HTTP request, including URLs, POST data, cookies, headers, and authentication fields.
- Supports plugins for extending scanning and parsing functionality.
- Provides multiple payload sources and iterators for combining wordlists and generated values.
- Includes filtering options and baseline comparisons to reduce noisy results.
- Ships with companion utilities such as wfpayload for payload generation and wfencode for encoding and decoding tasks.
- Can be installed with pip or run from an official Docker image.
