• Removed redundant --filter-status which filtered the status codes but also missed a ton of valid findings.
• Removed redundant --filter-body-size which filtered the response sizes but also missed a ton of valid findings.
• Implemented --drop-after-fail which will ignore requests with the same response code multiple times in a row.
• Added in a --proxy argument, so you can now perform proxy-related tasks such as sending everything to burp.
• Pathbuster will now give you an eta on when the tool will finish processing all jobs.
• Added in a --skip-brute argument, so you have the choice to perform a directory brute force or not.
• Replaced --match-status with --pub-status and --int-status so we have more control over the detection stage.
• Added in a --skip-validation argument which is used to bypass known protected endpoints using traversals.
• Added in a --header argument which is used to add in additonal headers into each request.

• Fixed a bug with the ETA, it would not produce the correct results.
• Fixed a bug with the --proxy argument as well as some other small bugs.
• Fixed a ton of performance issues and included directory bruteforcing at the end.
• Massive performance and accuracy increases using itertools instead of double for loops reducing O(n^2) time complexity.

If you find any cool bugs, it would be nice if I have some sorta appreciation such as shouting me out on your Twitter, buying me a coffee or donating to my Paypal.

I hope you enjoy
