# Cansina
[](https://travis-ci.org/deibit/cansina)
Cansina is a Web Content Discovery Application.
It is well known Web applications don't publish all their resources or public links,
so the only way to discover these resources is requesting for them and check the response.
Cansina duty is to help you making requests and filtering and inspecting the responses to tell
apart if it is an existing resource or just an annoying or disguised 404.
Feature requests and comments are welcome.
Cansina is included in [BlackArch Linux](https://www.blackarch.org/), give it a try!
## Installation
```
pip install cansina
```
If you don't want to pollute your environment to try cansina just create a virtual env
## Usage

cansina -u -p
```

```

## Speed
Wanna make Cansina run faster? Grab my cup of coffee.
Cansina downloads page content for inspection by default (Yep, Cansina does not racing for speed). but you can disable GET requests and make them HEAD (no body page download). Also, do no print the fancy terminal interface (you will lost some hackish points).
- Put **-H** to make requests lighter
- Put **--no-progress** to print no fancy information in the screen
- Raise default threads to ten with **-t 10** (or even more if you don't mind noise and faulty tries)
## Star History
