Information
-----------
This is a tool I wrote to collect information from web servers.
This was written for the Open Source Security Testing Methodology (OSSTM) 
located on http://www.ideahamster.org/osstmm-description.htm.

If you get OutOfMemory errors, it means that the site you are scanning is quite big and you need to 
grow the heap size by using the -Xms<size> option. By default, the metis.bat will set it to 150.

Please read the user documentation in the doc directory.


Upcomming features in 1.4
-------------------------
- Multiple site spider in parallel
- Starting support for Flash content (this was suppose to be in 1.3 but got delayed)
- Better support for Javascript

If you wish to contribute to this project, e-mail me at sacha@severus.org.
