About wordlists
Dictionaries must be text files. Each line will be processed as such, except that the special word %EXT% is used, which will generate one entry for each extension (-e | –extension) passed as an argument.
Example:

  • example/
  • example.%EXT%

Passing the extensions “asp” and “aspx” will generate the following dictionary:

  • example/
  • example.asp
  • example.aspx

You can also use -f | –force-extensions switch to append extensions to every word in the wordlists (like DirBuster).
