It is well known Web applications don’t publish all their resources or public links, so the only way to discover these resources is requesting for them and check the response.
Cansina duty is to help you making requests and filtering and inspecting the responses to tell apart if it is an existing resource or just an annoying or disguised 404.
Cansina is included in BlackArch Linux, give it a try!

Speed
Wanna make Cansina run faster?
Cansina downloads page content for inspection by default (Yep, Cansina does not racing for speed). but you can disable GET requests and make them HEAD (no body page download). Also, do no print the fancy terminal interface (you will lost some hackish points).
- Put -H to make requests lighter
Put –no-progress to print no fancy information in the screen
Raise default threads to ten with -t 10 (or even more if you don’t mind noise and faulty tries)
Integrated tree viewer
Cansina integrates a tree viewer (thanks to asciitree package) to output a project sqlite base stored results (http 200 status code by now).
cansina -V output/http_testphp.vulnweb.com.sqlite
