deepdir-cli 0.4.7

A modified version of dirsearch

DeepDir-CLI - Web Path Discovery (Modified Version)

Note: This is a highly modified version of the original dirsearch. It has been enhanced with forensic-grade output, advanced WAF detection, and a completely modernized codebase for better performance and reliability.

Key Features

1. Forensic-Grade Output

This version features a strict, pipe-separated table designed for professional analysis.

• TIME: Timestamp of the request.
• CODE: HTTP Status Code (Colored by category).
• TYPE: 3-Letter Classification Code.
  • WAF: Active WAF Block (Red).
  • APP: Application Logic / False Positive (Cyan).
  • SYS: Server/Infrastructure Message (Grey).
  • OK : Successful Response (Green).
• SIZE: Response size.
• SOURCE: Specific detection (e.g., "Cloudflare WAF", "AWS (App Logic)", "Nginx Default").
• URL: The discovered path (Redirects highlighted with ->).

2. Advanced WAF Fingerprinting

Instead of just saying "403 Forbidden", this tool analyzes the response body and headers to tell you why it was blocked:

• Infrastructure vs. App Logic: Distinguishes between a block from Cloudflare/AWS and a standard 403 from the backend application.
• Server Detection: Identifies default pages from Nginx, Apache, and IIS.
• External Signatures: WAF detection logic is now stored in db/waf_signatures.json, allowing for easy updates without changing the code.

3. Smart Capabilities

• --calibration: Automatically detects "Soft 403/404" responses (wildcards) to reduce false positives.
• --mutation: Automatically generates variations of found paths (e.g., finding admin, it checks admin.bak, admin.old, v1 -> v2).
• --bypass-waf: Integrated cloudscraper to bypass anti-bot protections.
• Smart User-Agents: Uses fake-useragent library to generate realistic, up-to-date User-Agent strings.

Architectural & Code Quality Improvements

This version includes a major backend overhaul to adopt modern Python practices, resulting in a faster, more reliable, and more maintainable tool.

• Robust Configuration: The project no longer relies on a global dictionary for settings. It now uses a central Config dataclass, eliminating side effects and making the codebase more predictable.
• Modern Concurrency: The threading model has been upgraded from manual thread management to Python's concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor for cleaner, more efficient, and safer execution.
• High-Performance Wordlist Handling: Wordlists are now streamed from disk instead of being loaded into memory. This drastically reduces RAM usage, allowing DeepDir-CLI to handle massive wordlists (e.g., rockyou.txt) with a minimal memory footprint.
• Test Suite: A comprehensive test suite has been introduced (tests/), including unit tests for core logic and integration tests against a live mock server. This ensures new features and bug fixes do not introduce regressions.
• Modern Path Handling: All file and path operations have been migrated from os.path to pathlib, making the code more readable and cross-platform compatible.
• CI/CD Friendly: The dependency check now supports a non-interactive mode (DEEPDIR_CLI_NON_INTERACTIVE=true), preventing it from blocking automated workflows.
• Optimized Parsing: The web crawler now uses lxml for faster HTML parsing when available.
