## 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.

### Timeline

- 2025-03-28: GitHub release 0.1.0 published.
- 2026-06-27: GitHub release 0.10.0 published.

### Related projects

- The official README names Wayback Machine, Common Crawl, OTX, Arquivo.pt, VirusTotal, URLScan, and GitHub Code Search as URL sources or providers.
