Allow editing configuration in the middle of the scan

[0xalwayslucky]

What is the feature?

Decide while scanning which directories should be added to the list of recursively brute forced directories

Why?

Gives more control to the user and decide on the get-go whether a directory looks interesting to be brute forced or skipped.

Especially useful if you do not know beforehand which directories will likely be there, but can be useful at anytime the tool is used. Saves time and generates less traffic against the target.

Example

img1/, img2/, img3/ may not look interesting, but backup/ does. So you can deny recursion on the occurrences of img1/, img2/ and img3/, but add the backup/ for recursive brute force.

Example implementation

See tool dirb (-R option)

There are several ways here:

• CTRL-C when it starts scanning the unwanted sub-directories
• Add well-known uninteresting sub-directories to /default.conf file (the exclude-subdirs part)

Allowing doing this interactively is always the best, but they are alternative solutions you can do while we implementing the feature

Awesome thanks for implementing this! Did not know about the trick with CTRL-C yet :)
