Discovery
HTTP status codes for a URL list. Nothing else.
overview
hakcheckurl reads a file of URLs and reports the HTTP status each returns, one line per URL. Concurrency is -t (default 8). Output is flat enough to grep by code.
Use it after a crawler or wordlist pass when you only need live, redirecting, forbidden, or gone. It does not return titles or tech fingerprints.
Trickest exposes hakcheckurl as a managed Discovery node with a URLs file input and file/folder outputs. Hand survivors to httpx when you need titles and technology next.
use cases
Check a large set of URLs for their response codes so a downstream stage works only from the URLs that answer.
Scan crawler or brute-force output for 404 and 403 responses to surface dead links and access-controlled paths worth a closer look.
Raise the thread count with -t so a large URL list resolves in parallel instead of one request at a time.
Run hakcheckurl after content discovery to cut the set down before httpx classifies titles and technology on what remains.

Use for a minimal pass that returns only HTTP status codes for a URL list. When you need titles, tech detection, and richer probe signal, reach for httpx. hakcheckurl is the lighter, single-purpose option.
Full HTTP prober with status, title, tech, and more. hakcheckurl returns only response codes.
Minimal liveness check for hosts. Close sibling for a quick alive-or-not pass.
Focuses on 404 and soft-404 responses. Overlaps hakcheckurl dead-link filtering.
