Grab all pdf files from server
wget's recursive grab of all pdfs only grabs files that the server has listed in its index, currently we only grab test_1.pdf since a hyperlink is available for the document and it is listed.

The goal is create a command that will grab test2.pdf and the hidden/ subdirectory as well as its contents.

(Note it is possible to do a 'wget localhost:9999/hidden/test_2.pdf' to grab the document, but we want to grab all hidden files without explicitly telling the command)

Task Status:

Currently brute forcing the search using /etc/dictionaries-common/words dictionary file. The algorithm was able to find the hidden directory in under 5 minutes.

Output

time ./chokehold

Enter dictionary location: /etc/dictionaries-common/words
Found directory: hidden
