searching on URLs that are exposed via shortener services such as bit.ly and goo.gl. The project is written in Go.\n\n### How?\n\nA group named [URLTeam](https://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=URLTeam) (kudos to them) are brute forcing the URL shortener services and publishing matched results on a daily basis. urlhunter downloads their [collections](https://archive.org/details/UrlteamWebCrawls) and lets you analyze them. \n\n# Installation\n\n## From Binary\n\nYou can download the pre-built binaries from the [releases](https://github.com/utkusen/urlhunter/releases/latest) page and run. For example:\n\n`tar xzvf urlhunter_0.1.0_Linux_amd64.tar.gz`\n\n`./urlhunter --help`\n\n## From Source\n\n1) Install Go on your system\n\n2) Run: `go install github.com/utkusen/urlhunter@latest`\n\n**Note For The Windows Users:** urlhunter uses `XZ Utils` which is pre-installed on Linux and macOS systems. For Windows systems, you need to download it from [https://tukaani.org/xz/](https://tukaani.org/xz/)\n\n# Usage\n\nurlhunter requires 3 parameters to run: `-keywords`, `-date`. \n\nFor example: `urlhunter --keywords keywords.txt --date 2020-11-20`\n\n### --keywords\n\nYou need to specify the txt file that contains keywords to search on URLs. Keywords must be written line by line. You have three different ways to specify keywords:\n\n**Single Keyword:** urlhunter will search the given keyword as a substring. For example:\n\n`acme.com` keyword will both match `https://acme.com/blabla` and `https://another.com/?referrer=acme.com`\n\n**Multiple Keywords:** urlhunter will search the given keywords with an `AND` logic. Which means, a URL must include all the provided keywords. Keywords must be separated with `,` character. For example:\n\n`acme.com,admin` will match `https://acme.com/secret/adminpanel` but **_won't_** match `https://acme.com/somethingelse`\n\n**Regex Values:** urlhunter will search for the given regex value. In the keyword file, the line that contains a regular expression formula must start with `regex ` string. The format is: `regex REGEXFORMULA`. For example:\n\n`regex 1\\d{10}` will match `https://example.com/index.php?id=12938454312` but **_won't_** match `https://example.com/index.php?id=abc223`\n\n### --date\n\nurlhunter downloads the archive files of the given date(s). You have three different ways to specify the date:\n\n**Latest:** urlhunter will download the latest archive. `-date latest`\n\n**Single Date:** urlhunter will download the archive of the given date. Date format is YYYY-MM-DD. \n\nFor example: `-date 2020-11-20`\n\n**Year:** urlhunter will download the archive of the given year. Year format is YYYY.\n\nFor example: `-date 2024`\n\n**Date Range:** urlhunter will download all the archives between given start and end dates. \n\nFor example: `-date 2020-11-10:2020-11-20`\n\n### --output\n\nYou can specify the output file with `-o` parameter. For example `-o out.txt`\n\n### --rm\n\nYou can specify the `-rm` parameter to remove the downloaded archive folders after processing. This is useful to save disk space. \n\n### Demonstration Video\n\n[![Watch the video](https://i.imgur.com/J2CrvfM.png)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct086YRm7i8)\n\n## The Speed Problem\n\nArchive.org throttles the speed when downloading files. Therefore, downloading an archive takes more time than usual. As a workaround, you can download the archives via Torrent and put them under the `archive/` folder which is located in the same directory with the urlhunter's binary. The directory tree will look like:\n\n```\n|-urlhunter\n|---urlhunter(binary)\n|---archive\n|-----urlteam_2020-11-20-11-17-04\n|-----urlteam_2020-11-17-11-17-04\n```\n\n## Example Use Cases\n\nurlhunter might be useful for cyber intelligence and bug bounty purposes. For example:\n\n`docs.google.com/a/acme.com` `drive.google.com/a/acme.com` keywords allow you to find public Google Docs\u0026Drive share links of Acme company.\n\n`acme.com,password_reset_token` keyword may allow you to find the working password reset tokens of acme.com\n\n`trello.com` allows you to find public Trello addresses.\n\n## Thanks\n\nSpecial thanks to Samet Bekmezci([@sametbekmezci](https://twitter.com/sametbekmezci)) who gave me the idea of this tool. \n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Futkusen%2Furlhunter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Futkusen%2Furlhunter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Futkusen%2Furlhunter/lists"}
