       Someone has reported that the spider misses some pages which are have querystrings on them.   This  issue
       isn't confirmed.

       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".
