                            Open Source Intelligence Tool for the Dark Web

Status/Social links

Features

1. Onion Crawler (.onion)
2. Returns page title or host name if no page title is available and address with a short description of the site.
3. Save links to a database (Not done)
4. Output the HTML from a site or save it to an HTML file. (Not done)
5. Save the link tree as a JSON file.
6. Crawl custom domains
7. Check if the link is live
8. Built-in Updater
9. Build a visual tree of link relationships that can be quickly viewed or saved to a file

...(will be updated)

Dependencies

• Tor (Optional)
• Python ^3.9
• Poetry (Optional)

Python Dependencies

(see pyproject.toml or requirements.txt for more details)

Installation

TorBot

Using venv

• If using Python ^3.4,

python -m venv torbot_venv
source torbot_venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
./main.py --help

Using docker

docker build -t {image_name} .

# Running without Tor
docker run {image_name} poetry run python torbot -u https://example.com --depth 2 --visualize tree --save json --disable-socks5

# Running with Tor
docker run --network="host" {image_name} poetry run python torbot -u https://example.com --depth 2 --visualize tree --save json --disable-socks5

Options

usage: Gather and analyze data from Tor sites.

optional arguments:
  -u URL, --url URL     Specify a website link to crawl
  --depth DEPTH         Specify max depth of crawler (default 1)
  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit
  --host                Set IP address for SOCKS5 proxy (defaults to 127.0.0.1)
  --port                Set port for SOCKS5 proxy (defaults to 9050)
  -v                    Displays DEBUG level logging, default is INFO
  --version             Show the current version of TorBot.
  --update              Update TorBot to the latest stable version
  -q, --quiet           Prevents display of header and IP address
  --save FORMAT         Save results in a file. (tree, JSON)
  --visualize FORMAT    Visualizes tree of data gathered. (tree, JSON, table)
  -i, --info            Info displays basic info of the scanned site
  --disable-socks5      Executes HTTP requests without using SOCKS5 proxy

• NOTE: -u is a mandatory for crawling
