Open Source Intelligence Tool for the Dark Web
The basic procedure executed by the web crawling algorithm takes a list of seed URLs as its input and repeatedly executes
the following steps:
URLs = input(url)
while(URLs is not empty) do
dequeue url
request page
parse for Links
for(link in Links) do
if (link islive && link is not visited) then
add link to URLs
store page content
- Onion Crawler (.onion).(Completed)
- Returns Page title and address with a short description about the site.(Partially Completed)
- Save links to database.(PR to be reviewed)
- Get emails from site.(Completed)
- Save crawl info to JSON file.(Completed)
- Crawl custom domains.(Completed)
- Check if the link is live.(Completed)
- Built-in Updater.(Completed)
- Visualizer module.(Not started)
- Social Media integration.(not Started) ...(will be updated)
Contributions to this project are always welcome.
To add a new feature fork the dev branch and give a pull request when your new feature is tested and complete.
If its a new module, it should be put inside the modules directory.
The branch name should be your new feature name in the format <Feature_featurename_version(optional)>. For example, Feature_FasterCrawl_1.0.
Contributor name will be updated to the below list. 😀
NOTE : The PR should be made only to dev branch of TorBot.
- Tor
- Python 3.x
- Golang 1.x (Not Currently Used)
- beautifulsoup4
- pyinstaller
- PySocks
- termcolor
- requests
- requests_mock
- yattag
Before you run the torBot make sure the following things are done properly:
-
Run tor service
sudo service tor start -
Make sure that your torrc is configured to SOCKS_PORT localhost:9050
-
Install TorBot Python requirements
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
On Linux platforms, you can make an executable for TorBot by using the install.sh script.
You will need to give the script the correct permissions using chmod +x install.sh
Now you can run ./install.sh to create the torBot binary.
Run ./torBot to execute the program.
An alternative way of running torBot is shown below, along with help instructions.
python3 torBot.py or use the -h/--help argument
usage: torBot.py [-h] [-v] [--update] [-q] [-u URL] [-s] [-m] [-e EXTENSION]
[-l] [-i]
optional arguments:
-h, --help Show this help message and exit
-v, --version Show current version of TorBot.
--update Update TorBot to the latest stable version
-q, --quiet Prevent header from displaying
-u URL, --url URL Specifiy a website link to crawl, currently returns links on that page
-s, --save Save results to a file in json format
-m, --mail Get e-mail addresses from the crawled sites
-e EXTENSION, --extension EXTENSION
Specifiy additional website extensions to the
list(.com or .org etc)
-l, --live Check if websites are live or not (slow)
-i, --info Info displays basic info of the scanned site (very
slow)`
- NOTE: All flags under -u URL, --url URL must also be passed a -u flag.
