CeWL – A custom wordlist generator is a ruby program that crawls a specific URL to a defined depth and returns a list of keywords, which password crackers like John the Ripper, Medusa, and WFuzz can use to crack the passwords. Cewl also has an associated command-line app FAB, which uses the same metadata extraction techniques to generate author/producer lists from already downloaded files using information extraction algorithms like CeWL.
CeWL comes preinstalled with Kali Linux. With this tool, we can easily collect words and phrases from the target page. It is a robust program that can quickly scrape the webserver of any website. Open the terminal of Kali Linux and type “cewl -h” to see the lists of all the options it accepts, with a complete description.
