Why?

It is hard to check waybackurls by copy & paste into the browser. Many URLs get 404. Hence, This tool helps to reduce the error links & helps to find sensitive keywords in code.

Usage

Usage: magnify [-u] <url> [-f] <file> [-r] <rate> [-o] <filename>
  -h: Help
  -u --url: URL
  -f --file: Input file containing URLs
  -r --rate: Rate limit in seconds
  -o --output: Output file name/path

git clone https://github.com/heydc7/magnify.git
cd magnify/
python3 main.py -u https://google.com

Example

Also, the rate limit in seconds can be added with the -r or --rate flag.

4. Filter out results with grep

cat Desktop/magnify.txt | grep 403
cat Desktop/magnify.txt | grep 302

5. Single URL can be passed with -u or --url flag

(0%) ['https://target.com/?ch=10489', 200, 'AIza', 'appspot', 'auth', 'config', 'firebase', 'internal', 'key', 'login', 'pass', 'password', 'prod', 'user']
