Objective: Use the cewl tool to generate a custom wordlist from a website for use in password attacks when pentesting.
If you’re looking to crack a password, you’ll need a solid wordlist to start with. But not just any wordlist—one that fits the target you’re trying to crack. Kali Linux has a tool called cewl that can help you make a custom wordlist by crawling a website.
Why should you use cewl?
You can use it to gather words from the site, like blog post titles, common terms, and metadata. This custom wordlist would be way more effective than using a generic list.
