+## 🚀 Documentation has **moved** 🚀  
+
+Instead of having a 1300 line `README.md` (sorry...), feroxbuster's documentation has moved to GitHub Pages. The move to hosting documentation on Pages should make it a LOT easier to find the information you're looking for, whatever that may be. Please check it out for anything you need beyond a quick-start. The new documentation can be found [here](https://epi052.github.io/feroxbuster-docs/docs/).

 ## 😕 What the heck is a ferox anyway?
 
-Ferox is short for Ferric Oxide. Ferric Oxide, simply put, is rust.  The name rustbuster was taken, so I decided on a variation.  🤷

+## 🤔 What's it do tho?
 
-## 💿 Installation
+`feroxbuster` is a tool designed to perform [Forced Browsing](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Forced_browsing).
 
-### Download a Release
+Forced browsing is an attack where the aim is to enumerate and access resources that are not referenced by the web
+application, but are still accessible by an attacker.
 
-Releases for multiple architectures can be found in the [Releases](https://github.com/epi052/feroxbuster/releases) section.  Builds for the following systems are currently supported:
+`feroxbuster` uses brute force combined with a wordlist to search for unlinked content in target directories. These
+resources may store sensitive information about web applications and operational systems, such as source code,
+credentials, internal network addressing, etc...
 
-- Linux x86
-- Linux x86_64
-- MacOS x86_64
-- Windows x86
-- Windows x86_64
+This attack is also known as Predictable Resource Location, File Enumeration, Directory Enumeration, and Resource
+Enumeration.
 
-### Cargo Install
+## ⏳ Quick Start
 
-`feroxbuster` is published on crates.io, making it easy to install if you already have rust installed on your system.
+This section will cover the minimum amount of information to get up and running with feroxbuster. Please refer the the [documentation](https://epi052.github.io/feroxbuster-docs/docs/), as it's much more comprehensive.
+
+### 💿 Installation
+
+There are quite a few other [installation methods](https://epi052.github.io/feroxbuster-docs/docs/installation/), but these snippets should cover the majority of users. 
+
+#### Kali 
+
+If you're using kali, this is the preferred install method. Installing from the repos adds a [**ferox-config.toml**](https://epi052.github.io/feroxbuster-docs/docs/configuration/ferox-config-toml/) in `/etc/feroxbuster/`, adds command completion for bash, fish, and zsh, includes a man page entry, and installs `feroxbuster` itself. 
 
 ```
-cargo install feroxbuster
+sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y feroxbuster
 ```
 
-### apt Install
-
-Head to the [Releases](https://github.com/epi052/feroxbuster/releases) section and download `feroxbuster_amd64.deb`.  After that, use your favorite package manager to install the .deb.
+#### Linux (32 and 64-bit) & MacOS
 
+Install to a particular directory
 ```
-sudo apt install ./feroxbuster_amd64.deb
+curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/epi052/feroxbuster/main/install-nix.sh | bash -s $HOME/.local/bin
 ```
 
-## ⚙️ Configuration
-### Default Values
-Configuration begins with with the following built-in default values baked into the binary:
-

-### ferox-config.toml
-After setting built-in default values, any values defined in a `ferox-config.toml` config file will override the
-built-in defaults.  
-
-`feroxbuster` searches for `ferox-config.toml` in the following locations (in the order shown):
-- `/etc/feroxbuster/`
-- `CONFIG_DIR/ferxobuster/`
-- The same directory as the `feroxbuster` executable
-- The user's current working directory
-
-If more than one valid configuration file is found, each one overwrites the values found previously.  
-
-If no configuration file is found, nothing happens at this stage.
-
-As an example, let's say that we prefer to use a different wordlist as our default when scanning; we can
-set the `wordlist` value in the config file to override the baked-in default.
-
-Notes of interest:
-- it's ok to only specify values you want to change without specifying anything else
-- variable names in `ferox-config.toml` must match their command-line counterpart
-
-```toml
-# ferox-config.toml
-
-wordlist = "/wordlists/jhaddix/all.txt"
+Install to current working directory
+```
+curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/epi052/feroxbuster/main/install-nix.sh | bash
 ```
 
-A pre-made configuration file with examples of all available settings can be found in `ferox-config.toml.example`.
-```toml
-# ferox-config.toml
-# Example configuration for feroxbuster
-#
-# If you wish to provide persistent settings to feroxbuster, rename this file to ferox-config.toml and make sure
-# it resides in the same directory as the feroxbuster binary.
-#
-# After that, uncomment any line to override the default value provided by the binary itself.
-#
-# Any setting used here can be overridden by the corresponding command line option/argument
-#
-# wordlist = "/wordlists/jhaddix/all.txt"
-# statuscodes = [200, 500]
-# threads = 1

-# depth = 1
-# sizefilters = [5174]
-# queries = [["name","value"], ["rick", "astley"]]
-
-# headers can be specified on multiple lines or as an inline table
-#
-# inline example
-# headers = {"stuff" = "things"}
-#
-# multi-line example
-#   note: if multi-line is used, all key/value pairs under it belong to the headers table until the next table
-#         is found or the end of the file is reached
-#
-# [headers]
-# stuff = "things"
-# more = "headers"
-```

-### Command Line Parsing
-Finally, after parsing the available config file, any options/arguments given on the commandline will override any values that were set as a built-in or config-file value.

-There are quite a few similar tools for forced browsing/content discovery.  Burp Suite Pro, Dirb, Dirbuster, etc... 
-However, in my opinion, there are two that set the standard: [gobuster](https://github.com/OJ/gobuster) and 
-[ffuf](https://github.com/ffuf/ffuf).  Both are mature, feature-rich, and all-around incredible tools to use.

-So, why would you ever want to use feroxbuster over ffuf/gobuster?  In most cases, you probably won't.  ffuf in particular
-can do the vast majority of things that feroxbuster can, while still offering boatloads more functionality.  Here are
-a few of the use-cases in which feroxbuster may be a better fit:

-- You want a **simple** tool usage experience
-- You want to be able to run your content discovery as part of some crazy 12 command unix **pipeline extravaganza**
-- You want to scan through a **SOCKS** proxy
-- You want **auto-filtering** of Wildcard responses by default
-- You want **recursion** along with some other thing mentioned above (ffuf also does recursion)
-- You want a **configuration file** option for overriding built-in default values for your scans

+## Contributors ✨
 
-Of note, there's another written-in-rust content discovery tool, [rustbuster](https://github.com/phra/rustbuster). I 
-came across rustbuster when I was naming my tool (😢). I don't have any experience using it, but it appears to 
-be able to do POST requests with an HTTP body, has SOCKS support, and has an 8.3 shortname scanner (in addition to vhost
-dns, directory, etc...).  In short, it definitely looks interesting and may be what you're looking for as it has some 
-capability I haven't seen in similar tools.

+    A simple, fast, recursive content discovery tool written in Rust
+[![Feroxbuster](https://github.com/epi052/feroxbuster/raw/main/img/logo/default-cropped.png)](https://github.com/epi052/feroxbuster)
+
+## What the heck is a ferox anyway?
+
+Ferox is short for Ferric Oxide. Ferric Oxide, simply put, is rust. The name rustbuster was taken, so I decided on a
+variation. 
+
+## What's it do tho?
+
+`feroxbuster` is a tool designed to perform [Forced Browsing](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Forced_browsing).
+
+Forced browsing is an attack where the aim is to enumerate and access resources that are not referenced by the web
+application, but are still accessible by an attacker.
+
+`feroxbuster` uses brute force combined with a wordlist to search for unlinked content in target directories. These
+resources may store sensitive information about web applications and operational systems, such as source code,
+credentials, internal network addressing, etc...
+
+This attack is also known as Predictable Resource Location, File Enumeration, Directory Enumeration, and Resource
+Enumeration.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+This section will cover the minimum amount of information to get up and running with feroxbuster. Please refer the the [documentation](https://epi052.github.io/feroxbuster-docs/docs/), as it's much more comprehensive.
+
+### Installation
+
+There are quite a few other [installation methods](https://epi052.github.io/feroxbuster-docs/docs/installation/), but these snippets should cover the majority of users. 
+
+#### All others Docs
+
+Please refer the the [documentation](https://epi052.github.io/feroxbuster-docs/docs/).
+
+## Example Usage
+
+Here are a few brief examples to get you started.  Please note, feroxbuster can do a **lot more** than what's listed below.  As a result, there are **many more** examples, with **demonstration gifs** that highlight specific features, in the [documentation](https://epi052.github.io/feroxbuster-docs/docs/).
+
+### Multiple Values
+
+Options that take multiple values are very flexible. Consider the following ways of specifying extensions:
+
+```
+./feroxbuster -u http://127.1 -x pdf -x js,html -x php txt json,docx
+```
+
+The command above adds .pdf, .js, .html, .php, .txt, .json, and .docx to each url
+
+All of the methods above (multiple flags, space separated, comma separated, etc...) are valid and interchangeable. The
+same goes for urls, headers, status codes, queries, and size filters.

+summary: A simple, fast, recursive content discovery tool written in Rust
+description: |
+  feroxbuster is a tool designed to perform Forced Browsing.
+
+  Forced browsing is an attack where the aim is to enumerate and access resources that are not referenced by the web application, but are still accessible by an attacker.
+
+  feroxbuster uses brute force combined with a wordlist to search for unlinked content in target directories. These resources may store sensitive information about web applications and operational systems, such as source code, credentials, internal network addressing, etc...
+
+  This attack is also known as Predictable Resource Location, File Enumeration, Directory Enumeration, and Resource Enumeration.
