How does web crawling/spidering works? I want to know if this will help in web scanning and hack prevention. Your input will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
A web crawler is a program that most search engines use to find the latest on the Internet. Likewise, it is also a scanner to identify vulnerabilities and this also help to find the next threat.
Thanks for your input. I'm still trying understand it better before I make any recommendation for our business use.
Hello! I'm just updating this thread to let you know that I've already found a good scanner. We're having it installed this week.
Web crawling can be a very complicated and technical subject to understand. Every web page on the Internet is different from the next, which means every web crawler is different from the next.
