Description : scan webservers for hidden directories (forced browsing)

w3bfukk0r is a forced browsing tool, it basically scans webservers
(HTTP/HTTPS) for a directory by using HTTP HEAD command and brute force
mechanism based on a word list.

What is the *purpose* of w3bfukk0r?  Besides fscking up the intarweb?

I think that the description explains that the purpose is to find hidden directories on web servers, presumably either your own or other people's.

But what (besides web crawling) is the (legal) purpose of that? And why does it need a word list?
