I am a new user here, just starting to go through some “starting-point” machines, I get to Preignition, when you get to the point where you have to use a wordlist from /dirb but in my htb instance apparently its non existent.
so naturally i went with the /dirbuster wordlists… but none worked.
so i guess find the “common.txt” wordlist or skip the machine?
any advice would be appreciated. thanks

I have this same issue too - In fact the dir. /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/ doesn’t exist
There is a /usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/ folder, which doesn’t have the common-txt file in it.
I searched in terminal for common.txt and can only find one in the file system and it doesn’t have index.php in it. For now I’ll make a test.txt file with index.php so I can continue I guess, but be good if this was fixed?! Considering it’s been reported already?
the link is bad that the course provides for the common.txt do this to get it work
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/master/Discovery/Web-Content/common.txt -O/usr/share/wordlists/common.txt
then execute the line below
sudo gobuster dir -w /usr/share/wordlists/common.txt -u {your target IP}
it will work. thats how i got past it, it actually was pretty fun figuring it out.
