The gau (Get All URLs) tool is a versatile open-source utility that collects URLs from various sources, including Wayback Machine, Common Crawl, VirusTotal, and URLScan, for a given domain. It’s commonly used in web application security testing to enumerate endpoints, discover hidden resources, or identify potential vulnerabilities.
