Your biggest challenge will be to actually find the icons consistently.
Internet Explorer uses a proprietary icon scheme that I don't know anything
about, except that other icon formats do not render in IE.
Other browsers use a standard scheme looking like this:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/path/image.png" />
In the absence of any specified icon the browser looks for one it the
document root called " favicon.ico"
Looking for the default icon in the root folder would get you some
percentage of favicons, but to get missing ones you would have to scan the
page looking for the above HTML tag and extract the path to the icon.
You can download the favicon from my website by pasting this in Terminal:
ftp http://Gnarlodious.com/favicon.ico
It will end up in your home folder.
