DESCRIPTION
onionsearch is a command-line tool for searching for onion services (Tor hidden services) on the Tor network.
It automates the process of querying various online resources (like onion index sites and databases) to discover active onion addresses. It can be used for security research, threat intelligence gathering, or simply to find interesting content on the dark web.
The tool typically uses a combination of techniques, including scraping known onion directory listings and employing search algorithms to find newly indexed or relatively unknown services. It provides options for filtering results based on keywords, content types, and other criteria, allowing for more targeted searches.
onionsearch is a valuable tool for anyone wanting to explore the Tor network in a structured and efficient manner.
CAVEATS
The effectiveness of onionsearch heavily relies on the availability and accuracy of onion index sites. Search results may vary depending on the sources used by the tool. It is important to use this tool responsibly and ethically, respecting the privacy and security of onion services. Also be aware of the dangers of the dark web.
ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Using onionsearch to discover and interact with onion services raises ethical concerns. Always prioritize responsible and ethical behavior. Avoid engaging in illegal or harmful activities while exploring the Tor network. Respect the privacy of onion service operators and users.
