"cewl": It is a command-line tool used for generating custom wordlists by spidering a target website and extracting words from it.

Options:

"--debug": This option enables the debug mode. It provides additional information while running the command, which can be helpful for troubleshooting or identifying any issues that may arise during the process.
"--email ${url}": With this option, cewl will extract email addresses from the specified URL. The "${url}" is a placeholder, typically used to represent the actual URL you want to provide as a parameter.

By executing the command, cewl will start spidering the specified URL, extract email addresses, and display additional debugging information if any problems occur. The resulting email addresses will be used to generate a custom wordlist.
