[](https://github.com/cestef/rwalk/releases/latest)
A blazingly fast web directory scanner written in Rust. It's like [dirsearch](https://github.com/maurosoria/dirsearch) but on steroids.
It is designed to be fast in [**recursive scans**](https://rwalk.cstef.dev/docs/modes) and to be able to handle large wordlists.
Unlike other tools, rwalk does **not** provide advanced fuzzing features such as **parameter fuzzing**, **header discovery**, etc.
## Quick Installation
### On [Nix](https://nixos.org)
```bash
# without flakes:
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.rwalk
# with flakes:
nix profile install nixpkgs#rwalk
```
### From [homebrew](https://brew.sh)
```bash
brew install cestef/tap/rwalk
```
### With [cargo-binstall](https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall)
```bash
cargo binstall rwalk
```
### From [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/rwalk)
```bash
cargo install rwalk
```
You can also download the latest binary from the releases page.
## Documentation
The full documentation can be found at **[https://rwalk.cstef.dev](https://rwalk.cstef.dev)**.
## Task Runner
This project uses [`braisé`](https://github.com/cestef/braise) as a task runner. You can find all the available tasks in the [`braise.toml`](braise.toml) file.
## Benchmarks
The following benchmarks were run on a 2023 MacBook Pro with an M3 Pro chip on a 10 Gbps connection via WiFi. The target was [http://ffuf.me/cd/basic](http://ffuf.me/cd/basic) and the wordlist was [common.txt](https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/blob/master/Discovery/Web-Content/common.txt).
Each tool was run `10` times with `100` threads. The results are below:
| Command | Mean [s] | Min [s] | Max [s] | Relative |
| :---------- | ------------: | ------: | ------: | ----------: |
| `rwalk` | 2.406 ± 0.094 | 2.273 | 2.539 | 1.00 |
| `dirsearch` | 8.528 ± 0.149 | 8.278 | 8.743 | 3.54 ± 0.15 |
| `ffuf` | 2.552 ± 0.181 | 2.380 | 3.005 | 1.06 ± 0.09 |
If you want to run the benchmarks yourself, you can use the `bench` command:
```bash
br bench
```
Arguments can also be passed to the `bench` command:
```bash
URL="http://ffuf.me/cd/basic" br bench
```
Please take these results with a grain of salt.
