Project history and usage

urx is a Rust command-line URL collection tool for security reconnaissance. Its official README frames it as a way to collect URLs from OSINT archives such as the Wayback Machine and Common Crawl, then normalize, deduplicate, filter, and export them for security testing and analysis.

Project history

The project entered public release as a small security CLI in 2025, with GitHub releases showing version 0.1.0 published on 2025-03-28 and rapid follow-up releases through 2026. Its design follows the modern bug-bounty and web-application recon workflow: query multiple public URL archives, merge the results, and feed the output into later testing tools.

Adoption history

The input package metadata lists urx in Homebrew and Nix, which places it in the package-manager path used by security engineers who prefer reproducible CLI installation over cloning source trees. Its README also documents Cargo, Homebrew, source, and Docker installation paths.

How it is used

Typical use is pipeline-oriented: run `urx example.com`, pass domains on stdin, choose providers, filter extensions or patterns, output plain text, JSON, or CSV, and optionally cache results. API-keyed providers such as VirusTotal and URLScan can be configured, but the README emphasizes that several archive providers work without keys.

Why package nerds care

For package nerds, urx is notable as a narrowly scoped, single-binary Rust CLI in the OSINT/recon ecosystem. It packages a workflow that was often assembled from shell pipelines and separate archive scrapers into one installable formula.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.

local files

Configuration and credential file locations

These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.
