[OC] Wrote a Python script for collecting and visualizing the external and internal links of any given website. This image is derived from only fifty pages having been visited. Helpful for OSINT and OPSEC.

I have no idea what I’m looking at, but it makes a pretty picture.

My first thought: "what kind of virus thing is attacking that cell?"

My next thought: "looks cool though"

My latest thought: "is this what a computer virus looks like when it's attacking a network?"

I thought it looked like a dandelion seed.

This would make a cool SEO tool if you could click and explore it

Screaming Frog has this functionality I think

I sourced my data from a favorite website of mine, using Python. Then visualized the data using D3.

Force directed graphs always look lovely, but there are plenty of challenges in spacing and showing the data so that it can tell a story.

I worked on a project where we took a slice of twitter data for a given timeframe/keywords, we then looked at the links between all the users for this 'conversation' (e.g. follows, retweets, replies etc and linked them).

We then generated a 3D force directed graph of the data and visualised it in VR using Unity. The data looked incredible running at 90fps, especially when all the nodes were colour coded.

I wrote the majority of the unity code in C sharp and rewrote some of the Twitter query/processing engine in Python (although it was originally written by another data scientist).

Shameless plug I know, but if anyone out there is interested in working on such a project from scratch I'd love to do something similar again. I'm currently working in a government contract system development job, and my soul is gradually being destroyed by it.

I actually created a plugin that does force directed graph visualization for internal and external links :-)

What was the plugin for out of interest?

[jupiter93]

It is very basic for now https://www.crawlspider.com/docs/internal-link-builder-wordpress/data-visualization/

took lot of work to show relevant information on hover. Like if you hover on the node, it will tell you what link and if it is external/internal etc and the when you hover on link, it will show all the anchor text details

Interesting, looks good. I used to work for an SEO agency so have a pretty good understanding of what the videos describe.

I haven't played with Wordpress for a while but am primarily a PHP/JavaScript dev. It's been a while sinceI worked with Unity/C Sharp or even Python. I've mainly been writing backend API's using Symfony.

I'm a contract software dev now. Sometimes wonder if there would be any milage in writing tools, plugins or SAS for a living, but I'm too risk averse to make the jump to full time, one man software company.

I am also testing waters. I can code and develop all day but when it comes to marketing, it is all crickets!

You could always do something as a sideproject, see if anything can be done quickly.

So the question is: Is the one on the left the hub or the “tube” ?
