HTML Comments Extracter

Question

Hey Dudes,

I am well aware that parsing HTML with regex has its many caveats and vociferous opponents. So rather than trying to re-invent the wheel, I'm looking for a tool that I can point to a web page and say "Get me the comments, b*tch".

Anyone able to advise?

I was reading some OWASP documentation or a security blog, and I'm almost certain I saw a tool performing this task. Google has been zero help unfortunately.

Cheers

Answer 1

If you want a Java solution try HTMLParser and look for RemarkNodes.

Answer 2

Mhhhhh...I think a search in Google with the OS you use and some clever keyword gives you all you want. For UNIX based system looks at: parse HTML with SED and PERL

For Windows OS I think you can search something with VBS (VBScript).
