crawler is a collection of web scraping and JavaScript reverse engineering examples designed for learning how modern websites protect their data and how those protections can be analyzed. It contains many case studies that demonstrate how to analyze and replicate request parameters, cookies, and encryption logic used by real websites. Each directory in the project focuses on a specific target service or scenario, showing how browser network requests and JavaScript code can be studied to...

Trafilatura is a Python package and command-line tool designed to gather text on the Web. It includes discovery, extraction and text-processing components.

...XSRFProbe performs numerous systematic checks to determine whether a web endpoint is vulnerable, including inspection of anti-CSRF tokens, cookie validation behavior, and request forgery scenarios. It also analyzes the strength and randomness of security tokens using algorithms such as entropy calculations to determine whether tokens can be predicted or forged. When a vulnerability is discovered, it can automatically generate proof-of-concept payloads that demonstrate how the flaw could be exploited in a real attack scenario. XSRFProbe provides a highly automated workflow while still allowing users to customize scanning behavior and configuration settings.
