HiddenBot

Dark web crawler.

Prerequisites

Tor

Access to onion services, we need to use Tor proxy.

# If tor is not installed...
sudo apt install tor

tor &

To check if you're using Tor from command line, run the following command:

curl -fsSL -x socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 check.torproject.org | grep Congratulations

If the content "Congratulations. This browser is configured to use Tor." appeared, your Tor proxy configuration is correct.

Virual Machine (Optional)

It's recommended to use a virtual machine for more securely connecting to dark web.
