history

Project history and usage

URLFinder is a Go command-line reconnaissance utility for extracting JavaScript files, URLs, API-like paths, and sensitive information from web pages. 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.
