# Deadsniper

Dead link (broken link) means a web page you have previously linked to is no longer available.

These dead links have a negative impact on SEO, Security and user experience.

This tool, inspired by [DeadFinder](https://github.com/hahwul/deadfinder), makes it easy to hunt them down.

Note that this tool is much more limited in scope, only allowing use with a sitemap and only checking http/https links.

For customization and a slower, but broader tool, use [DeadFinder](https://github.com/hahwul/deadfinder).

## Usage

```

Usage: deadsniper [options] 

Options:

  -h | --help    print this help text

  -V | --version print the version number

  -s | --strict  allow only HTTP 200 response codes

  -t | --timeout set the request timeout in seconds (default 5)

Examples:

  deadsniper https://port19.xyz/sitemap.xml

  deadsniper -V

  deadsniper --strict https://port19.xyz/sitemap.xml

  deadsniper -t 1 -s https://port19.xyz/sitemap.xml

```

## Usage via Github Actions

I recommend you download and run the binary, as building a whole docker container slows things down drastically

```

steps:

- name: Run Deadsniper

  run: |

    wget -q "https://github.com/port19x/deadsniper/releases/download/v1.4/deadsniper" && chmod +x ./deadsniper && ./deadsniper https://port19.xyz/sitemap.xml

```

Alternatively, you can use the classical github actions approach at a 10-20s speed cost

```

steps:

- name: Run Deadsniper

  uses: port19x/deadsniper@master

  with:

    sitemap: "https://port19.xyz/sitemap.xml"

```
