How to find all occurences of an email address on a website

  • 772

Let's say I have a large website which may have a number of email addresses on it that are getting picked up by spammers. I plan to obfuscate or remove them all.

What's the easiest way to crawl my website to find any email addresses I may be exposing?

Either through on-page text (which Google can pick up, but not very well) or mailto: links (which Google can't).

    Something like:

    wget --mirror --html-extension http://www.mydomain.org/ -o /home/user/temp_site/

    then

    grep -Hinr "@mydomain.org" /home/user/temp_site/ > /home/user/list_of_pages_with_email

    Should return a list of all pages (with line numbers) that contain your domains email addresses.

    Might need tweaking.
