WaybackLister v1.1 — by [FR13ND0x7F]
Discover potential directory listings through archived URLs from the Wayback Machine.

🕵️‍♂️ What It Does

WaybackLister is a reconnaissance tool that taps into the Wayback Machine to fetch historical URLs for a domain, parses unique paths, and checks if any of those paths currently expose directory listings. It's fast, multithreaded, and built for practical use in security assessments and bug bounty recon.

🚀 Features

• Pulls archived URLs via the Wayback Machine
• Extracts unique paths and subdomains from those URLs
• Actively checks for live directory listings
• Supports multithreaded scanning
• Can auto-discover subdomains based on Wayback data
• Works with single domain or list of domains
• Retry logic for timeouts [v1.1]

🧠 Why This Tool?

Sometimes, old URLs archived by the Wayback Machine lead to interesting places—especially when they still work. Directory listings can reveal sensitive files, backups, or even forgotten admin panels. WaybackLister helps you find them in a systematic and scriptable way.
