I would recommend a tool like Webreaper. This will mirror the website onto your machine and allow you to inspect it closely.

Nessus can tell you the directories in the root of your

mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
