grep-backURLs is a web security automation tool to extracts important credentials in bug hunting. It uses subfinder to find subdomains and then those subdomain acts as input links for waybackurls . After that , it uses grep command and keywords.txt to sort out important credentials.
Just beacuse it uses grep command to sort out from waybackURLs link.
Approx 3 hr 48 min 58 sec
