cewl(1) custom word list generator cewl(1)NAMEcewl - custom word list generator
SYNOPSIScewl [OPTION] ... URL
DESCRIPTION
CeWL (Custom Word List generator) is a ruby app which spiders a given
URL, up to a specified depth, and returns a list of words which can
then be used for password crackers such as John the Ripper. Optionally,
CeWL can follow external links.
CeWL can also create a list of email addresses found in mailto links.
These email addresses can be used as usernames in brute force actions.
CeWL is pronounced "cool".

Show the help.
--count, -c
Show the count for each word found.
--depth N, -d N
The depth to spider to. Default: 2.
--email, -e
Include email addresses in the search. This option will create
an email list, after the words list, that can be used as user‐
names in brute force actions.

used, the email list created by '-e' option will be written in a
file and won't be shown in stdout.
--keep, -k
Keep the downloaded files (in /tmp or in directory specified by
'--meta-temp-dir' option). These files are acquired when using
the '-a' option.
--meta, -a
Consider the metadata found when processing a site. This option
will download some files found in the site and will extract its
metadata. So, the network traffic will be greater. The files

words list and can be used as elements for brute force actions.
