So, Today in this blog i will going to talk about How to clone any website using httrack tool. This tool collects all the all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer.
so, first of all we know what is Httrack and Installing with working process ?


HTTrack is a free and open-source Web crawler and offline browser, developed by Xavier Roche and licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 3. HTTrack allows users to download World Wide Web sites from the Internet to a local computer.


It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack takes any website and makes a copy to your hard drive. This can be useful for searching for data on the website offline such as email addresses, information useful for social engineering, hidden password files (believe me, I have found a few), intellectual property, or maybe replicating a login page for a Evil Twin site to capture login credentials.

Download 


Step 1 :- WinHTTrack is the Windows (from Windows 2000 to Windows 10 and above) release of HTTrack, and WebHTTrack the Linux/Unix/BSD release. See the download page.


Install & Run 

Step 2 :- After downloading, That will open a screen like the one below. Notice the window in the upper left-hand corner next to the "Find" button. Enter "httrack" there and it will find the packages you need to install HTTrack.

Step 3 :-  Use HTTrack

Now that we have installed HTTrack, let's start by looking at the help file for HTTrack. When you downloaded and installed HTTrack, it placed it in the /usr/bin directory, so it should be accessible from any directory in Kali as /usr/bin is in the PATH variable. Let's type:

    kali > httrack --help

I've highlighted the key syntax line in the screenshot above. The basic syntax is the following, where -O stands for "output." This switch tells HTTrack where to send the website to.

    kali > httrack <the URL of the site> [any options] URL Filter -O <location to send copy to>

Using HTTrack is fairly simple. We need only point it at the website we want to copy and then direct the output (-O) to a directory on our hard drive where we want to store the website. One caution here, though. Some sites are HUGE. If you tried to copy Facebook to your hard drive, I can guarantee you that you do not have enough drive space, so start small.

Step 4 :- Test HTTrack

In an earlier tutorial on hacking MySQL databases behind websites (MySQL is the most widely used database backend behind websites), we used a website that we could hack with impunity called webscantest.com. Let's try to make a copy of that site to our hard drive.

    kali > httrack httrack http://www.webscantest.com -O /Desktop/Httrack-Test

As you can see, we successfully made a copy of all the pages of this site on our hard drive.




Step 5 :- Explore the Site Copy

Now that we have captured and copied the entire site to our hard drive, let's take a look at it.

We can open the Mozilla browser (or any browser) and view the contents of our copied site to the location on our hard drive. Since we copied the web site to /Desktop/Httrack-Test, we simply point our browser there and can view all the content of the website! If we point it to /tmp/webscantest/www.webscantest.com/login.html, we can see that we have an exact copy of the login page! How to clone any website using httrack

Step 6 :- Copy Our Favorite Web Site



Now, let's try HTTrack on our favorite website, hackingtruth. Let's try to make a copy of a forum post I wrote last week about the How to track people using trape. First, let's open that page right here and copy the address into Kali after the HTTrack command and then the location where you want send the copy to.

    kali> httrack https://www.hackingtruth.in/2019/12/how-to-track-peoples-device-using-trape.html  -O /Desktop/Httrack-HackingTruth

You can send the copied website to any location, but I sent mine to /Desktop/Httrack-Test. When we do so, HTTrack will go into Hacking Truth, grab that webpage, and store an exact copy of it on your hard drive. Notice it also tells us that it is 427395 bytes. httrack tool
