'''HTTrack''' is a [[free software|free]] and [[open-source software|open-source]] [[Web crawler]] and [[offline browser]], developed by Xavier Roche and licensed under the [[GNU General Public License Version 3]].

HTTrack allows users to download [[World Wide Web]] sites from the [[Internet]] to a local computer.<ref name=Engebretson>{{cite book|last=Engebretson|first=Patrick|title=The Basics of Hacking and Penetration Testing|year=2011|publisher=Elsevier|isbn=9781597496568|pages=19–22|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TNA8CuLXL70C&q=%22HTTrack%22+-wikipedia}}</ref><ref name=Beaver>{{cite book|last=Beaver|first=Kevin|title=Hacking For Dummies|year=2012|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|isbn=9781118380963|pages=278, 280–281|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BDGfk84D2QsC&q=%22HTTrack%22+-wikipedia}}</ref> By default, HTTrack arranges the downloaded site by the original site's relative link-structure. The downloaded (or "[[website mirror|mirrored]]") website can be browsed by opening a page of the site in a browser.

HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is configurable by options and by filters (include/exclude), and has an integrated help system. There is a basic command line version and two [[GUI]] versions (WinHTTrack and WebHTTrack); the former can be part of scripts and cron jobs.

HTTrack uses a [[Web crawler]] to download a website. Some parts of the website may not be downloaded by default due to the [[Robots Exclusion Standard|robots exclusion protocol]] unless disabled during the program. HTTrack can follow links that are generated with basic [[JavaScript]] and inside [[Applet]]s or [[Adobe Flash|Flash]], but not complex links (generated using [[Subroutine|functions]] or [[expression (programming)|expressions]]) or server-side [[image map]]s.
