CeWL (Custom Word List generator)
• CeWL is a ruby app which spiders a given url and
returns a list of words which can then be used for
password crackers such as John the Ripper.
• CeWL also has an associated command line app, FAB
(Files Already Bagged) which uses the same meta
data extraction techniques to create author/creator
lists from already downloaded.
