Hey #OSINT🕵, let's create our OWN Internet Archive/The Wayback Machine. Shall we?

Today the Internet Archive has a collection of nearly 625 billion web pages, 38 million books and texts, 14 million audio recordings, 7 million videos (including 2 million Television News programs), 4 million images, 790,000 software programs and more.

With all due respect, we don’t need all the data that’s been recorded by the Internet Archive. Usually people save pages on the Wayback Machine that are relevant to them.

So let's use 'Archive Box' @ArchiveBoxApp to make our own archive.

#Fact #FactCheck #Factcheckers

ArchiveBox is an open source internet archiving solution to collect and save the relevant web pages of our choice offline. It comes in many forms, we can set that up on Windows, GNU/Linux and MacOS. It can be used as a command line tool, a web app and a desktop app(alpha). #OSINT

SETUP

1. Open the terminal and type:
curl -sSL 'get.archivebox.io' | sh

2. Change the directory.

#Fact #FactCheck #Factcheckers #OSINT

3. Now let’s run our archivebox server locally. Type the following command inside /archivebox directory.

archivebox server 0.0.0.0:8000

4. As we can see in the image, we’ll copy and paste(or click) http://0.0.0.0:8000/ to our favorite browser.

5. Now we can type any URL on the search bar, here we have already archived ‘example.com’. If we click on the ‘Example Domain’ at the left, we can see all the contents of example.com that are archived.

6. All the contents that are archived will be stored in the /archive directory.

7. We can also import URLs regularly on schedule.

archivebox schedule --every=day --depth=1 example.com/rss.xml
