When performing web penetration testing, having an all-in-one tool can save time and streamline the reconnaissance process. Web-Scraper is a powerful Python-based terminal tool that combines multiple functionalities into a single framework.

🔍 Key Features of Web-Scraper

  • ASN Lookup – Identify Autonomous System Numbers linked to a target.
  • HTTP Header Analysis – Extract server info, cookies, and security headers.
  • Subdomain Enumeration – Discover hidden subdomains.
  • Web Technology Detection – Identify frameworks (e.g., WordPress, Django).
  • Admin Panel Discovery – Locate login portals.
  • Directory Bruteforcing – Find hidden paths (e.g., /admin, /backup).
  • WHOIS Lookup – Retrieve domain ownership details.
  • Port Scanning (TCP/UDP) – Check open ports.
  • External Link Extraction – Find third-party dependencies.
  • WAF Bypass & Detection – Test firewall evasion techniques.
  • Geolocation Tracking – Pinpoint server locations.
  • DNS Record Analysis – Fetch MX, TXT, A records.
  • Vulnerability Scanning – Detect common web flaws.
  • Zone Transfer Testing – Check misconfigured DNS.

You Should Know: Practical Commands & Usage

1. Installing Web-Scraper

git clone https://github.com/[bash]/web-scraper.git 
cd web-scraper 
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Basic Reconnaissance

python web-scraper.py -u https://example.com -s

– -u: Target URL
– -s: Subdomain scanning

3. Detecting WAF & Bypassing It

python web-scraper.py -u https://example.com --waf-detect --bypass-waf

4. Directory Bruteforcing

python web-scraper.py -u https://example.com --dirs -w wordlist.txt

– -w: Custom wordlist (e.g., common.txt, dirbuster.txt)

5. Port Scanning (TCP/UDP)

python web-scraper.py -u example.com --tcp-scan -p 80,443,22 
python web-scraper.py -u example.com --udp-scan -p 53,161

6. Vulnerability Scanning

python web-scraper.py -u https://example.com --vuln-scan

7. Extracting External Links

python web-scraper.py -u https://example.com --external-links
