  - Fast!
- - Allows fuzzing of HTTP header values, POST data, and different parts of URL, including GET parameter names and values
+ - Allows fuzzing of HTTP header values, HTTP method, POST data, and different parts of URL, including GET parameter names and values
  - Silent mode (`-s`) for clean output that's easy to use in pipes to other processes.
  - Modularized architecture that allows integration with existing toolchains with reasonable effort
  - Easy-to-add filters and matchers (they are interoperable)
