(The “sleep(1)” is so you don’t kill the server with traffic, remove if you like)

Should be pretty self-explainatory, go through all the words in /usr/share/dict/words and attempt to fetch webpages. At my current word dictionary size, it would take 65 hours to complete (1 second per word)

A smart person would replace “/usr/share/dict/words” in the script with a better list of website pagenames, if they actually wanted to use this

You know, I’ve always wondered if servers had a “rurigenous.html” or a “mastochondroma.php” webpage on their site…
