Some examples for how to use Afuzz – those are the most common arguments. If you need all, just use the -h argument.
afuzz -u https://target
afuzz -e php,html,js,json -u https://target
afuzz -e php,html,js -u https://target -d 3
The thread number (-t | –threads) reflects the number of separated brute force processes. And so the bigger the thread number is, the faster afuzz runs. By default, the number of threads is 10, but you can increase it if you want to speed up the progress.
In spite of that, the speed still depends a lot on the response time of the server. And as a warning, we advise you to keep the threads number not too big because it can cause DoS.
afuzz -e aspx,jsp,php,htm,js,bak,zip,txt,xml -u https://target -t 50
