			CeWL is a wordlist generator. If you're not sure where to begin a password search, or if you're looking for more targeted wordlists but can't find what you're looking for, this is the perfect tool.

			I scraped a single Wikipdia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle) and set <code>--depth=1</code>. My CeWL command looked like this:

			<pre>
			$ cewl -v en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle -d 1 -w seattle.txt
			</pre>

			A word on the input flags - sometimes if you get the input flags wrong, or put them in the wrong order, or specify something incorrectly, CeWL won't catch it. Make sure you double check those input arguments.
