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.**

## Features

- 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.

### 🚀 Updates

- 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.

## Installation & Usage

Install requirements

`pip3 install -r requirements.txt`

Run the script

`python3 forbidden_buster.py -u http://example.com`

                        Use Proxy
  --include-unicode Include Unicode fuzzing (stressful)
  --include-user-agent Include User-Agent fuzzing (stressful)
  --include-api Include API fuzzing

```
