A Detailed Guide on Cewl

Hi, Pentesters! In this article, we are going to focus on the Kali Linux tool “Cewl” which will basically help you to create a wordlist. Let’s explore this tool and learn about what all other options this tool provides. Table of Contents1. Introduction to Cewl
2. Default Procedure
3. Store this wordlist in a file
4. Generating a Wordlist of a certain length
5. Retrieval of Emails from the website.
6. To count the number of words repeated on the website
7. Increase spider depth
8. Verbose Mode
9. Alphanumeric Wordlist
10. Cewl with Digest/Basic Authentication
11. Lowercase all parsed words
12. Proxy Support- Introduction to Cewl CeWL – A custom wordlist generator is a ruby program that crawls a specific URL to a defined depth and returns a list of keywords, which password crackers like John the Ripper, Medusa, and WFuzz can use to crack the passwords. Cewl also has an associated command-line app FAB, which uses the same metadata extraction techniques to generate author/producer lists from already downloaded files using information extraction algorithms like CeWL.

CeWL comes preinstalled with Kali Linux. With this tool, we can easily collect words and phrases from the target page. It is a robust program that can quickly scrape the webserver of any website.

Open the terminal of Kali Linux and type “cewl -h” to see the lists of all the options it accepts, with a complete description.

Syntax: cewl Default ProcedureUse the following command to generate a list of words that will spider the given URL to a specified depth and we can use it as a directory for cracking the passwords.

cewl http://www.vulnweb.com -w dict.txt
Here dict.txt is the file name where the wordlist will be stored. Once the file has been created you can open it to see if the output is stored in the file.

https://i0.wp.com/blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5GYGWi3_iL7JfBhPX8Utf9RnHj-xlV9l8kRIbHqW7GQ0Fc5WAaOCg6TRpY8Xv8k1d0wd2PxDJLWeas64-2oRhrlnjmgWu5Y0sxZP8hIIrwaRIgzyJ4YmDvDIzpYxqvlff3GqFc6ussi_3Ido93P2hmGf2pBeF3n1PPLDnlLq74Kh82o8365y0Q3a88Q/s16000/4.png?w=640&ssl=1 Generating wordlists of a certain lengthIf you want to create a wordlist of a specific length then you can choose to use option -m and provide the minimum length for the keyword hence it will create wordlists for a certain length.
cewl http://vulnweb.com / -m 10 -w dict.txt
https://i0.wp.com/blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGLC2UtK7DL7LKF7BsDqI9BzDc96ETFv-M7bmB5S_hE7nNAOPfro-1oAWjl6trF1zM8LbqYv01wDeS3KF7jXz_CRoSm-mYGhhx_vLFbewHKaSE7HM2Nvf1dYIIZhNPg-KcHzIqYYnZRYg0aMg3NFbaECbGmm-PBhxPejuwqQz2sGjknbj2v50SNd8s3A/s16000/5.png?w=640&ssl=1

So basically, this will create a wordlist in which each word has a minimum of 10 letters and store these keywords in the file dict.txt. Screenshot is attached for your reference. Retrieval of Emails from the website:In order to retrieve emails from the website, we can use the -e option, while the -n option will hide the lists created while crawling the provided website. As you can see in the screenshot attached it has found 1 email-id from the website.
cewl https://digi.ninja/contact.php -e -n
https://i0.wp.com/blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiICKDMF7jZMeWOIOWwQwCoTY6cdiL5Sa3J-f6Pk7kd3nR4BnDfZLdMA5DUimgmHJ933944BtffkuOOfAJnIvWtDnm_7Vm2CvNW5CG2wWTNBsIRYm2hYwf_2bJftQFpH6cJQknv1JFNv2hB9IyfWwKJt8PZr7nLi7k7byNJdkbiR-h4wWIp8o2mQDZ4wA/s16000/6.png?w=640&ssl=1 To count the number of words repeated on the websiteIf you want to count the number of times a word is repeated on a website, then use the -c option that will enable the count parameter.
cewl  http://www.vulnweb.com -c
For your reference, a screenshot is added below which prints the count for every keyword repeated on website.

https://i0.wp.com/blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvqjUfg-iIHpXE5Xe0Y3YMRT5JmFYRn6GI4WlRXrEKddXhPn_YcAFfIHV_iBpdEWxssZo5saUyDnV7V_2BtEnsrE2MiADNvlNn7tpNRmXW0hx94rvxm3xS3K4712HV6G_F6jTkO34G6BrMm0ZA3CffWJxuXmPuQd5T9FVqtG94UqYnUqeVGMRLl3dgzw/s16000/7.png?w=640&ssl=1 Increase Spider depthYou can use -d option with the depth number to activate depth parameter for more quick and intense crawling so that a large list of words is created. The depth level is set to 2 as default.
cewl http://vulnweb.com -d 3
https://i0.wp.com/blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv_k2Uh7TZn4kXmoCqG6MNqh8n_grREy5cLh8s83sYXssvKlyMfByAGSrM1_BoY65OhcEq11TfSc4uUW_Fc3ibkj-ZntqwePYRNhstATFxG6GNaAA2Pd1b2ZnaVhRFh8n-L1E6OGSt_SNq2ktctYAyJCzqdPfFpzqEv4goxvmMj_18lStAPKKp5TpjxA/s16000/8.png?w=640&ssl=1 Verbose ModeWe have a -v option for the verbose mode to extend the website crawling result and retrieve complete detail of the website.
cewl http://vulnweb.com -v
So, this will display extended website crawling results. Below we have attached a screenshot so that you will get a clear idea.

need an alpha-numeric wordlist that you can use –the with-numbers option to get an alpha-numeric wordlist.

So for that, you need to bypass the authentication page by using the command given below.
cewl http://testphp.vulnweb.com/login.php --auth_type Digest --auth_user test –auth_pass test -v
In this command we have used the following options:

–auth_type:                                                            Digest /Basic

–auth_user:                                                       Authentication Username

–auth_pass:                                                       Authentication password

https://i0.wp.com/blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrSTDcFtoDH2CJRW9UaY3ww2ZEOFFX3gCdINlHpnqqI5GyemORwiUhOVxg_YPSUqfavMMMSdvns5_w5PmDv0dkHSi10YAL9rqz_1TSk65Pz8QB8t-ycXSdzZf1Dj7anMLJ5FUOpvct7AvJIeWClFT97QPMBXqhXUo30VRvFWTlD2GRZ3vhUEjwVbXFEg/s16000/12.png?w=640&ssl=1 Lowercase all parsed wordsWhen you need the keywords to be generated in lowercase for that you can use the –lowercase option to generate the words in lowercase.

https://i0.wp.com/blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL072NNaPeY-OVmbXG4mjieYQJ8QW2wycnOILG0taWLYslVx3NsXPOX0cU6bT_DRLdBNMQsIfigSO01KeplTfeDGuGxifTgAzLPBQVTPu5lWU2IbtGDSUb409kRnhj6b_4Ek8fjVFLz7c9G6io1LMpBOgIcLb_jHqYw_BGJA1osnY9HJcRVbKtObaE1w/s16000/14.png?w=640&ssl=1 Proxy SupportThis default command for cewl will not work properly if you have attached a proxy server. We tried to access the application through ip address but the proxy server is attached hence this gave us a Forbidden Error page.

https://i0.wp.com/blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5bL5TAzbPwGf_l6Qr8c0_hzoFyE83QuNDZNAe7GOrgsJH_HqpiqlY7tsOBia1HzfQMxQdoMrDGfjpf_2w9zY2IvVmGohC-UE0-TcPgnR0YMIBB1-Rv2yPiV58b8g-O3yoMrq14qERcfbjrJM_HRVwfgoC4hPJcGYapGTTSuqAuk_QeMsiJWz_u1xjRg/s16000/20.png?w=640&ssl=1

And here if we apply the default cewl command so it will generate the error page wordlist. Hence to get the appropriate wordlist of the web application we have used commands as:
cewl http://192.168.1.141 --proxy_host 192.168.1.141 --proxy_port 3128
In this command we have used the following options:

–proxy_host:                          Your Host

–proxy_port:                          Port number of your proxy
