You could probably hobble something together pretty quick using wget: http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Jenkins, Matthew Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 3:27 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] External link checks Does anyone know of a tool that would scan a website for external links, and then check each of those links to a specified depth for specific content? Example use: Someone has a weblink on the organization's website. The page the weblink points at is compromised and malware, inappropriate content, etc. are placed on the site. If there was a tool to scan the external links to check content, this would be caught and an administrator noticed so the link could be removed from the organization's website.
