-description = [[
-Tries to obtain a list of installed WordPress plugins by brute force
-testing for known plugins.
-
-The script will brute force the /wp-content/plugins/ folder with a dictionary
-of 14K (and counting) known WP plugins. Anything but a 404 means that a given
-plugin directory probably exists, so the plugin probably also does.
-
-The available plugins for Wordpress is huge and despite the efforts of Nmap to
-parallelize the queries, a whole search could take an hour or so. That's why
-the plugin list is sorted by popularity and by default the script will only
-check the first 100 ones. Users can tweak this with an option (see below).
-]]

----
--- @args http-wordpress-plugins.root If set, points to the blog root directory on the website. If not, the script will try to find a WP directory installation or fall back to root.
--- @args http-wordpress-plugins.search As the plugins list contains tens of thousand of plugins, this script will only search the 100 most popular ones by default.
--- Use this option with a number or "all" as an argument for a more comprehensive brute force.

--- @usage
--- nmap --script=http-wordpress-plugins --script-args http-wordpress-plugins.root="/blog/",http-wordpress-plugins.search=500 <targets>
