 Spider is a web crawler and wordlist/ngram generator written in Go that crawls specified URLs or local files to produce frequency-sorted wordlists and ngrams. Users can customize crawl depth, output files, frequency sort, and ngram options, making it ideal for web scraping to create targeted wordlists for tools like hashcat or John the Ripper. Since Spider is written in Go, it requires no additional libraries to download or install.
 *Spider just works*.

 Wordlist & ngram creation tool to crawl a given url or process a local file to create wordlists and/or ngrams (depending on flags given).
 ### Usage Instructions:
-- To create a simple wordlist from a specified url (will save deduplicated wordlist to url_spider.txt):
+- To create a simple wordlist from a specified url (will save deduplicated wordlist to url_spider.txt if `-o` is not set):
   - `spider -url 'https://github.com/cyclone-github'`
-- To set url crawl url depth of 2 and create ngrams len 1-5, use flag "-crawl 2" and "-ngram 1-5"
+- To set url crawl depth of 2 and create ngrams len 1-5, use flag "-crawl 2" and "-ngram 1-5"
   - `spider -url 'https://github.com/cyclone-github' -crawl 2 -ngram 1-5`
 - To set a custom output file, use flag "-o filename"
   - `spider -url 'https://github.com/cyclone-github' -o wordlist.txt`
 - To set a delay to keep from being rate-limited, use flag "-delay nth" where nth is time in milliseconds
   - `spider -url 'https://github.com/cyclone-github' -delay 100`
-- To set a URL timeout, use flag "-timeout nth" where nth is time in seconds
-  - `spider -url 'https://github.com/cyclone-github' -timeout 2`
+- To set a URL timeout, use flag "-timeout nth" where nth is time in seconds (default 10)
+  - `spider -url 'https://github.com/cyclone-github' -timeout 10`
 - To create ngrams len 1-3 and sort output by frequency, use "-ngram 1-3" "-sort"
   - `spider -url 'https://github.com/cyclone-github' -ngram 1-3 -sort`
-- To filter crawled URLs by keyword "foobar"
-  - `spider -url 'https://github.com/cyclone-github' -url-match foobar`
+- To filter crawled URLs by keyword "spider" (only follow/crawl matching URLs)
+  - `spider -url 'https://github.com/cyclone-github' -url-match 'spider'`
+- Only match pages containing text keyword (all URLs are still crawled, but only pages containing keyword are added to wordlist)
+  - `spider -url 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2' -text-match 'pbkdf2'`
 - To specify a custom user-agent
-  - `spider -url 'https://github.com/cyclone-github' -agent 'foobar'`
+  - `spider -url 'https://github.com/cyclone-github' -agent 'foobar user agent'`
 - To process a local text file, create ngrams len 1-3 and sort output by frequency
   - `spider -file foobar.txt -ngram 1-3 -sort`
 - Run `spider -help` to see a list of all options
