# `xecrap`

> [!warning]

> For the love of humanity, **DO NOT RUN THIS PROGRAM!**

> [!important]

> If you ignored the 1st warning then *please* only use the program as a "[pentest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_test)", to check how easily a bot can get your email from an arbitrary text-file.

## Name

It stands for "e**x**perimental **e**mail s**crap**per.

Notice the suspicious emphasis on "crap". It's a sign that you should feel like that, if you ever include similar code into a web-crawler that feeds a spam-bot.

## Why

I've been wondering "How advanced can an email scrapper get... *without AI*?", so I made this as a challenge to myself!

This is just a "personal project" made for fun, and learning/research. It's also intended to raise awareness about [data brokers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_broker).

For the reasons mentioned above, **I won't**:

- distribute executables/binaries (compile it yourself, MF)

- release a `1.x` version (always unstable)

- publish to a package registry, market/store, or repository.

## Other

This is probably the most ethically-questionable software I've ever written. If you believe I'm doing more harm than good, please explain why. I may archive this repo if I feel "guilty enough"

## CONTRIBUTING

Contributions are welcome (and "unwelcome"), but please don't contrib until I choose a license
