usage: urlbuster [options] -w <str>/-W <file> BASE_URL
       urlbuster -V, --help
       urlbuster -h, --version

URL bruteforcer to locate existing and/or hidden files or directories.

Similar to dirb or gobuster, but also allows to iterate over multiple HTTP request methods,
multiple useragents and multiple host header values.

                        A persistent connection on the other hand will use any additional cookie values
