CeWL (Custom Word List generator) is a ruby app which spiders a given
URL, up to a specified depth, and returns a list of words which can
then be used for password crackers such as John the Ripper. Optionally,
CeWL can follow external links.
CeWL can also create a list of email addresses found in mailto links.
These email addresses can be used as usernames in brute force actions.
CeWL is pronounced "cool".
