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".
