About gau
gau (Get All URLs) is a tool designed to fetch known URLs from multiple sources like AlienVault OTX, the Wayback Machine, Common Crawl, and URLScan. It provides a comprehensive view of a domain's URL footprint by aggregating historical and current data from these services. Written in Go, gau is optimized for speed and is a popular choice for security researchers looking to identify potential attack vectors in web applications.
About waybackpack
waybackpack is a command-line tool that downloads the complete archive of a URL from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It retrieves all available historical snapshots of a webpage or entire domain, organizing them by capture date. Researchers use it to recover deleted content, track how websites changed over time, find exposed credentials or configurations in historical snapshots, and discover removed pages that may contain sensitive information. waybackpack supports date range filtering, concurrent downloads, and uncompressed/raw content retrieval. It is a focused alternative to the broader Wayback Machine API.
