Forbidden Buster is a tool designed to automate various techniques in order to bypass HTTP 401 and 403 response codes and gain access to unauthorized areas in the system. This code is made for security enthusiasts and professionals only. Use it at your own risk.
- Probes HTTP 401 and 403 response codes to discover potential bypass techniques.
- Utilizes various methods and headers to test and bypass access controls.
- Customizable through command-line arguments.
- Added API fuzzing methods, which probe for different API versions and also tamper with the data.
- Removed rate limiting feature for now. Better implementation in the future.
