About CeWL

Builds a custom wordlist by spidering a target website. Wordlists drawn from the target's own site are far more effective in authorised password audits than generic dictionaries, and a companion tool extracts author names from documents.

It spiders a live site, so it must only be pointed at systems you are permitted to test, and deep crawls can drift onto other domains.

Limitations
