Simple Wap Scraper for Sensitive Information

This python project will show how web scrapers can be designed for grabbing sensitive information from public websites. The script, in short, looks for keywords relevant to personal information.

Example Code:

import requests

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

def scrape_sensitive_data(url):

response = requests.get(url)

soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')

for element in soup.find_all(text=True):

if "password" in element.lower():

print(f"Sensitive data found: {element.strip()}")

url=input("Enter URL to scrape: ")

scrape_sensitive_data(url)

Use Case: this script could be used for penetration testing website security for sensitive information exposure such as passwords or emails.

Note: Scraping has legal implications, so always ask permission from the website owners.
