monsoon is a fast and flexible HTTP fuzzer that can be used for a wide variety of actions ranging from content discovery to credential bruteforcing. You can read about the various use cases in our blog posts "Introducing monsoon - a lean and versatile HTTP enumerator" and "Bringing Monsoon to the Next Level".

Installation

As monsoon is a single statically linked binary, you can simply download a pre-build binary for your operating system from the releases page.

Building from source

These instructions will get you a compiled version of the code in the main branch. First, you'll need a recent version of the Go compiler, at least version 1.18. If your compiler is set up, clone the monsoon repository and run the following command from within the checkout:

$ go build

Afterwards you'll find a monsoon binary in the current directory. It can be for other operating systems such as Windows as follows:

$ GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o monsoon.exe
