The old surface is still evidence.
An archived URL is a record that a page, an environment or a login screen existed. Group captures by folder, filter to one host, and inspect what the Wayback Machine kept.
What this gives you
- Wayback CDX index read on demand
- Folders grouped with capture counts and newest year
- Filter the archive to any hostname in the scan
- Original URLs open in a new tab
From hostname to the pages it served
The Subdomains tab tells you which host exists. The Paths tab tells you what the archive remembers about it, without treating an old capture as proof of a live service.
CDX query
One request per apex or selected host. The response is parsed into URL, capture year and folder.
Folder groups
Captures are grouped by the first path segment so a careers tree or a docs tree reads as one unit.
Host filter
Choose any hostname from the scan and the path list narrows to its captures. The host is carried in the share URL.
- 01
Open the Paths tab
The archive is fetched only when you ask for it, not during the subdomain scan.
- 02
Pick a host or the apex
All hosts are available, including ones added by a deep scan.
- 03
Read the folders
Capture counts and years are shown per folder; each original URL opens separately.
Why archived paths are useful
Forgotten environments
Old staging pages often expose the shape of a system that still exists.
Migration evidence
Compare what the archive kept with the hostnames that remain in certificates.
Report context
Pair a current hostname with a dated capture instead of a bare assertion.
