Passing "[Tryhackme CC: Pen Testing](https://tryhackme.com/room/ccpentesting)" room "final exam" I noticed that "dirsearch" can't find a "secret.txt" file compared to "gobuster" I tried with "-e" flag, also add "txt" to config file but still no results. Tried standard dictionary, also tried the same dictionary for "gobuster" and "dirsearch" but with "dirsearch" still no results

Hi @No0ob1e, you didn't use the same wordlist for both scans, what did you expect? Try running dirsearch again with this command and see the result:

dirsearch.py -u http://target -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/common.txt -r

Hi @No0ob1e, please read the documentation carefully before using dirsearch: https://github.com/maurosoria/dirsearch#wordlists-important

The wordlist you used contains secret, so to find secret.txt, you need the extension txt. As the document part I linked above (please read it), you need the flag -f
