### Key Features

#### Data Extraction
Photon can extract the following data while crawling:

- URLs (in-scope & out-of-scope)
- URLs with parameters (`example.com/gallery.php?id=2`)
- Intel (emails, social media accounts, amazon buckets etc.)
- Files (pdf, png, xml etc.)
- Secret keys (auth/API keys & hashes)
- JavaScript files & Endpoints present in them
- Strings matching custom regex pattern
- Subdomains & DNS related data

The extracted information is saved in an organized manner or can be [exported as json](https://github.com/s0md3v/Photon/wiki/Usage#export-formatted-result).

#### Flexible
Control timeout, delay, add seeds, exclude URLs matching a regex pattern and other cool stuff.
The extensive range of [options](https://github.com/s0md3v/Photon/wiki/Usage) provided by Photon lets you crawl the web exactly the way you want.

#### Genius
Photon's smart thread management & refined logic gives you top notch performance.

Still, crawling can be resource intensive but Photon has some tricks up it's sleeves. You can fetch URLs archived by [archive.org](https://archive.org/) to be used as seeds by using `--wayback` option.
