In this post, I will show how we can use Burp to spider/ scrape a website and build a wordlist from the website content. The trick to online password guessing is getting the right word list. This method is a very quick way of achieving it. Here is the Burp Extender:

Apply this extender, by navigating to “Extender” > “Extensions” and Click “Add”. You will see the compiled word list in the Output window.

My test website is http://testphp.vulnweb.com. After spidering the site, I can invoke the “Create WordList” extender from the menu:

This produced the following word list:

Here is a sample of the output:

Consectetuer!
consectetuer1
Consectetuer1
consectetuer2017
Consectetuer2017
firstchild
