Disclaimer

Authorized Use Only

DirBuster is a security testing tool created to assist developers, researchers, and IT professionals in identifying hidden directories and files on web servers. It must only be used on systems for which you have explicit permission from the owner or administrator.

Unauthorized use of DirBuster against websites, applications, or networks that you do not own or control is illegal and may violate local, national, or international laws.

No Liability

The creators, contributors, and maintainers of DirBuster are not liable for any misuse of the tool. By using DirBuster, you accept full responsibility for your actions and agree that any consequences—such as service disruption, data loss, security breaches, or legal issues—are your sole responsibility.

Accuracy of Results

DirBuster relies on wordlists, HTTP responses, and server behavior to identify potential files and directories. While effective, the tool cannot guarantee 100% accuracy.

  • False Positives: Results may show resources that do not actually exist (e.g., soft 404s).
  • False Negatives: Some hidden resources may not be detected, depending on wordlist quality or server configuration.

Users are strongly encouraged to manually verify scan results before taking any action.

Educational and Research Purpose

DirBuster is also intended to serve as a learning and research tool. It provides hands-on experience for students, educators, and cybersecurity professionals studying web application security. However, all usage must remain ethical, lawful, and within controlled environments such as labs or explicitly authorized tests.

Compliance With Laws and Ethics

By using DirBuster, you agree to:

  • Only conduct scans with proper authorization.
  • Follow all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
  • Adhere to ethical security practices, including responsible disclosure when vulnerabilities are found.

Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, or using DirBuster, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this disclaimer. If you do not agree, you should not use the tool.
