ffuf-web-fuzzing

ffuf-web-fuzzing is a skill for Claude Code from danielmiessler/PAIPlugin. It costs 34 tokens per session (4,997 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for using FFUF, a web-fuzzing tool that sends many variations of requests to find hidden website content and test for weaknesses. It is intended for authorised penetration testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps configure wordlists and replacement points, test authenticated requests, try multiple input combinations, automatically adjust results, and analyse findings.
Why use it?
It helps security testers systematically explore directories, files, subdomains, requests, and inputs that may be missed by manual checks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ffuf-web-fuzzing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (ffuf_helper.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

FFUF (Fuzz Faster U Fool) Skill

Contributed by: Joseph Thacker (@rez0)

Overview

FFUF is a fast web fuzzer written in Go, designed for discovering hidden content, directories, files, subdomains, and testing for vulnerabilities during penetration testing. It's significantly faster than traditional tools like dirb or dirbuster.

Installation

# Using Go
go install github.com/ffuf/ffuf/v2@latest

# Using Homebrew (macOS)
brew install ffuf

# Binary download
# Download from: https://github.com/ffuf/ffuf/releases/latest

Core Concepts

The FUZZ Keyword

The FUZZ keyword is used as a placeholder that gets replaced with entries from your wordlist. You can place it anywhere:

  • URLs: https://target.com/FUZZ
  • Headers: -H "Host: FUZZ"
  • POST data: -d "username=admin&password=FUZZ"
  • Multiple locations with custom keywords: -w wordlist.txt:CUSTOM then use CUSTOM instead of FUZZ

Multi-wordlist Modes

  • clusterbomb: Tests all combinations (default) - cartesian product
  • pitchfork: Iterates through wordlists in parallel (1-to-1 matching)
  • sniper: Tests one position at a time (for multiple FUZZ positions)

Common Use Cases

1. Directory and File Discovery

# Basic directory fuzzing
ffuf -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -u https://target.com/FUZZ

# With file extensions
ffuf -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -u https://target.com/FUZZ -e .php,.html,.txt,.pdf

# Colored and verbose output
ffuf -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -u https://target.com/FUZZ -c -v

# With recursion (finds nested directories)
ffuf -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -u https://target.com/FUZZ -recursion -recursion-depth 2

2. Subdomain Enumeration

# Virtual host discovery
ffuf -w /path/to/subdomains.txt -u https://target.com -H "Host: FUZZ.target.com" -fs 4242

# Note: -fs 4242 filters out responses of size 4242 (adjust based on default response size)

3. Parameter Fuzzing

# GET parameter names
ffuf -w /path/to/params.txt -u https://target.com/script.php?FUZZ=test_value -fs 4242

# GET parameter values
ffuf -w /path/to/values.txt -u https://target.com/script.php?id=FUZZ -fc 401

# Multiple parameters
ffuf -w params.txt:PARAM -w values.txt:VAL -u https://target.com/?PARAM=VAL -mode clusterbomb

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ffuf-web-fuzzing is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielmiessler/PAIPlugin (58 stars, last pushed 11mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 4,997 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
