# goCeWL version 0.2

Clone of digininja's [CeWL](https://github.com/digininja/CeWL) written in Golang.

- Crawl websites concurrently and extract words into a wordlist
- Should be faster as the original CeWL, as requests and parsing are performed concurrently. 
- static binary available, so no dependencies required
- lower memory fooprint

**Note**: This repo is experimental. Cosider it pre-alpha. The api / cli can change at any time.

## Installation

Note: Currently there are no tagged releases or pre-compiled binaries. This will change in the future.

To compile and and install goCeWL, Go needs to be installed on your system. If that's not yet the case, please follow the installation instructions [here](https://golang.org/doc/install).

If you have Go installed, run `go get github.com/shellhunter/gocewl`. This will download all dependencies and install the binary to `$GOPATH/bin`.

## Usage
Run `gocewl --help` to display the commandline options.
