Scenario: Spencer was having a terrible day. His girlfriend broke up with him and kicked him out of her apartment. He didn’t think that it could get any worse, after all, he could try to get over her by watching the beautiful, HIV infected women on his favorite late night website. He knew that no matter how depressed he got…. there was NOTHING that couldn’t be fixed by titties. But his night got worse when he realized that the website was shut down forever, and he had no backup to fall on!

Solution: Spencer should have downloaded the full website.

How: There are many ways to do the same thing. I will show you two.

1. BlackWidow – BlackWidow is a web site scanner, a site mapping tool, a site ripper, a site mirroring tool, an offline browser, a FTP program, a Net Spy and a Webmaster tool. In this case, we will be using the site ripping feature.

To download a website, enter the address and hit Go. Once it has completed indexing the website, click on the Structure tab and you will see the website in its folder hierarchy.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here you can choose certain files, or the whole website and click the Dnld (Download) button to download it to your computer.

 
 
 

2. To download a website on linux, you can use the WGET command.

wget  -r -p -U Mozilla http://www.MrCracker.com

-r (recursive) tells the wget command to download all the links from www.MrCracker.com ‘s front page including image, audio, and other files.

-U Mozilla tells the website that you are using a common browser – Mozilla. Occasionaly, the target server will not let you download the website if you are not coming from a browser. This option will fix this issue.
