It also checks if archived snapshots are available for each URL and saves the filtered URLs to files. Read more: Medium Watch Tool in action: Medium Community Blogs: WayBackupFinder Passive Recon Features - Fetches URLs from the Wayback Machine using the CDX API. - Filters the fetched URLs by specific file extensions (e.g., .pdf , .zip ). - Checks if a Wayback snapshot is available for each URL. - Saves the filtered URLs to text files. - Customizable file extensions to filter or use default extensions from extensions.txt . Use Case: Finding Archived Backups This tool can be especially useful for finding backups of websites or files that may no longer be available on the live site. If a resource (e.g., a PDF or image) was previously available on the website but has since been removed or is temporarily unavailable, there may still be an archived snapshot of it in the Wayback Machine. By using this script, you can: - Identify URLs that may have once been accessible but no longer are. - Check for backups on the Wayback Machine that might not be available on the current live site. - Retrieve historical versions of files or content that have been deleted or moved. The script attempts to retrieve URLs from the Wayback Machine. For each URL found, it checks if an archived snapshot is available. If a snapshot exists, the script provides a link to the backup.
