Waybash

The Wayback URLs Crawler is a Bash script designed to automate the process of collecting archived URLs from the Wayback Machine for a specified target domain. By leveraging the Wayback Machine's API, the script fetches historical data about a target website, which can be particularly useful for security researchers, penetration testers, digital archivists, or anyone interested in examining past versions of a website.

The script retrieves a list of URLs that have been archived over time, offering a snapshot of the site's historical content. This data can help identify past security vulnerabilities, track content changes, or recover lost web pages. The resulting list of URLs is saved to a text file, allowing for easy analysis and further processing.

Key Features

• Automated URL Crawling: Fetches archived URLs from the Wayback Machine based on the target domain.
• Historical Data Analysis: Allows users to explore past versions of a website for research or vulnerability assessment.
• Output Filtering and Formatting: The retrieved data is processed to remove duplicates and format the output for better readability.
• Simple to Use: Written in Bash, the script is straightforward and can be run on most Unix-based systems (Linux, macOS).

Installation and Setup

Prerequisites

• The script requires a Unix-based operating system (Linux, macOS, or WSL on Windows).
• curl, sed, and tee should be installed on the system (most Unix-based systems come with these tools by default).

Steps to Install and Run

You can now use ./wayback.sh -help to display the help menu and description for each feature. Each feature is now modular and easy to maintain or expand.

1. Clone or Download the Script

git clone https://github.com/lamcodeofpwnosec/Waybash.git
cd Waybash

2. Make the Script Executable Ensure the script has executable permissions.

chmod +x wayback_crawler.sh

3. Run the Script Execute the script and provide the target domain when prompted.

./wayback_crawler.sh

Enter the domain name (e.g., example.com) when prompted. The script will retrieve archived URLs and save the results in a file named example.com.txt. 4. Check the Output

• After the script finishes running, the results will be stored in a text file named after the target domain (e.g., example.com.txt).
• You can open this file with a text editor or use command-line tools to analyze the data.

cat example.com.txt
