Its official README presents it as a fast and easy page-information extraction tool aimed at finding hidden sensitive information or unauthorized API interfaces in page JavaScript and URLs. ### Project history The public GitHub repository was created in June 2022 and the README changelog shows active development beginning later that year with crawl modes, export formats, proxy support, status-code filtering, fuzzing, and YAML-based rule configuration. By 2026 the project had added GitHub Actions and GoReleaser-based release automation, alongside validation for regular expressions and runtime parameters. ### Adoption history The package-manager evidence in this batch lists Homebrew and Nix packaging, which suggests niche but real package-manager availability rather than broad distribution packaging. Its use case aligns with web reconnaissance and bug-bounty workflows more than general-purpose URL browsing. ### How it is used Typical use is to point URLFinder at one target URL or a batch file, choose a crawl mode, optionally supply cookies, proxy settings, custom headers, or a YAML config file, and export discovered links and findings as CSV, JSON, or HTML. ### Why package nerds care For package nerds, URLFinder is a compact example of modern security-tool packaging: a single Go binary, CLI flags, generated config, and cross-platform release automation added after the project was already useful. ### Timeline - 2022-06-06: Public GitHub repository created. - 2022-09-05: README changelog records early config-file support. - 2023: README changelog records export, crawl-depth, and detection refinements. - 2026-06-17: README changelog records CI, GoReleaser, validation, and security-oriented fixes. ### Related projects - The repository topics include jsfinder, infofinder, and urlfinder, placing the project in the JavaScript URL discovery and web reconnaissance tool niche. ### Sources - GitHub repository metadata: https://api.github.com/repos/pingc0y/URLFinder - Input source_facts.package-manager lists brew and nix packaging. - Official README: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pingc0y/URLFinder/master/README.md ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** urlfinder - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - urlfinder: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ur/urlfinder/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://pkg.so/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://pkg.so/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [subfinder](https://pkg.so/brew/subfinder/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security, subdomain-enumeration. - [findomain](https://pkg.so/brew/findomain/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security, subdomain-enumeration. - [shuffledns](https://pkg.so/brew/shuffledns/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security, subdomain-enumeration. - [opendoor](https://pkg.so/brew/opendoor/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security, web-reconnaissance. - [scilla](https://pkg.so/brew/scilla/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security, subdomain-enumeration. - [dnsmap](https://pkg.so/brew/dnsmap/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security, subdomain-enumeration. - [chaos-client](https://pkg.so/brew/chaos-client/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security, subdomain-enumeration. - [urx](https://pkg.so/brew/urx/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security, url-extraction. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
