Historical software reference — discontinued

LinkChecker

A resumable URL-status checker from 2001. It survives as a reference, not as an executable. No download or support is offered.

Documented purpose

The archived page says LinkChecker sorted URLs into redirects, successful responses, forbidden responses and missing pages, and could resume progress through a DBM store. That is a concise historical description, not a security assessment.

What a current checker needs

Network policy: Reject local and private destinations to prevent server-side request forgery.
Limits: Bound redirects, response bytes, concurrency and total runtime.
Meaning: Record the observed status and final URL; do not silently call every redirect healthy.
