cewl(1)			  custom word list generator		       cewl(1)

NAME
       cewl - custom word list generator

SYNOPSIS
       cewl [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".

OPTIONS
       --help, -h
	      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.

       --email_file FILE
	      Filename	for  email  output.  Must be used with '-e' option. If
	      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
	      will be downloaded in /tmp folder or in directory	 specified  by
	      '--meta-temp-dir'	 option.  The metadata will be shown after the
	      words list and can be used as elements for brute force actions.

       --meta_file FILE
	      Filename for metadata output. Must be used with '-a' option.  If
	      used,  the  metadata list created by '-a' option will be written
	      in a file and won't be shown in stdout.

       --meta-temp-dir DIRECTORY
	      The directory used by  exiftool  when  parsing  files.  Default:
	      /tmp.

       --min_word_length N, -m N
	      The  minimum  word  length.  This strips out all words under the
	      specified length. Default: 3.

       --no-words, -n
	      Don't output the wordlist.

       --offsite, -o
	      By default, the spider will only visit the site specified.  With
	      this  option,  CeWL  will	 also  visit  external sites (that are
	      quoted by hyperlinks).

       --ua USER-AGENT, -u USER-AGENT
	      Change the user-agent. The default is 'Ruby'. There are  a  list
	      of valid user-agents at http://www.user-agents.org.

       --write FILE, -w FILE
	      Write the output to the file rather than to stdout.

       --auth_type TYPE
	      Type  of	authentication	for websites that uses it. The current
	      options are 'digest' and 'basic'.
