aranea

A small web crawler named aranea (Latin for spider). The aim is to gather unique domains to show what is out there.

Fetch

It starts with a given set of URL(s) and parses them for more URLs. Stores them and fetches them too. -> fetch.pl

Each URL result (Stored result from the call) will be parsed for other URLs to follow. -> parse-results.pl

After a run cleanup will gather all the unique Domains into a table. Removes URLs from the fetch table which are already enough. -> cleanup.pl

The table url_to_ignore does have a small amount of domains and part of domains which will be ignored. Adding a global SPAM list would be overkill.

A good idea is to run it with a DNS filter, which has a good blocklist.
