waybackpack
MIT๐ General OSINT ยท Python
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.
