About this tool

CeWL (Custom Word List Generator) is a ruby app which spiders a given URL to a specified depth and returns a list of words which can then be used for password crackers such as John the Ripper.

Pro Tip: Focus on understanding the core options first. You can use the generated command directly in your terminal, and view the Command Breakdown above to see what each flag does.
