## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

getallurls, commonly packaged as `gau`, is a reconnaissance CLI that fetches known URLs for domains from AlienVault Open Threat Exchange, the Wayback Machine, Common Crawl, and URLScan. It is aimed at security researchers and bug bounty workflows that need historical and third-party URL discovery.

### Projektgeschichte

The project was created in February 2020 and reached a v1.0 release in April 2020. The README says gau was inspired by Tomnomnom's `waybackurls`, and the v2.0.4 release in November 2021 introduced a rewrite with speed improvements, a new URLScan provider, configuration-file loading, new filters, and SOCKS5 proxy support.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

Official installation options include `go install`, cloning and building from source, downloading GitHub release binaries, and Docker. The input curation also records Homebrew, MacPorts, and Nix package availability, showing the tool's spread through common security-tool package channels.

### Wie es verwendet wird

gau accepts domains from arguments or stdin and can run with worker threads, write results to a file, filter by extensions, status codes, MIME types, date ranges, providers, and proxy settings, and output JSON. It automatically looks for `$HOME/.gau.toml` or `%USERPROFILE%\.gau.toml` unless an alternate config is supplied.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

gau is package-nerd-significant because it turns multiple web-archive and threat-intelligence sources into a composable Unix-style CLI. Its short name also collides with an oh-my-zsh git alias, a small but memorable packaging and shell-environment wrinkle documented by the project.

### Zeitleiste

- 2020: Public GitHub repository created.
- 2020: v1.0 released.
- 2021: v2.0.4 rewrite release added URLScan, config loading, filters, and SOCKS5 proxy support.
- 2024: v2.2.4 release published.

### Related projects

- gau is inspired by Tomnomnom's `waybackurls` and depends conceptually on AlienVault OTX, the Wayback Machine, Common Crawl, and URLScan as URL providers.
