Yes, I meant that also, the directory list should be an external txt
file. It shouldn't be a python list inside the code. By convention, if
the plugin is called "directory_bruteforce", and it's a discovery
plugin, the files that are related to it should go in:

plugins/discovery/directory_bruteforce/
