A Word of Caution
Downloading SecLists may trigger false positives from your antivirus software. This is normal due to the nature of the files it contains. Whitelist the SecLists file path to prevent interference. Also avoid storing these files on production servers because of the risk of local file inclusion vulnerabilities.
