Dark Web OSINT Tools

A curated GitHub list of tools for dark web OSINT and investigation, including onion search engines (Ahmia, OnionSearch, Darkdump, Onion Search Engine), crawlers/scanners (TorBot, TorCrawl, OnionScan, Onioff, Onion-nmap), CTI feed aggregators (DeepDarkCTI), and directories like The Hidden Wiki. Also links the author's own Robin tool and IACA's dark web investigation support resources, making it a one-stop reference for researchers and investigators scoping Tor hidden services.

TL;DR A hand-curated list of Tor/dark-web OSINT tools — search engines, crawlers, scanners, and CTI feeds — for dark web reconnaissance.

What it is

The page is a bare list of 23 entries, each a name and a link, with no descriptions, versions, install commands or usage notes. It is split between GitHub repositories and Tor or clearnet directory and search sites. The existing summary names about a dozen of them. This note records the rest, so the reader can go straight to the repositories.

Entries the summary does not name

GitHub repositories:

  • Katana: adnane-X-tebbaa/Katana
  • Darkus: Lucksi/Darkus
  • Darkfox: aryanguenthner/darkfox
  • VigilantOnion: andreyglauzer/VigilantOnion
  • OnionIngestor: danieleperera/OnionIngestor
  • Darc: JarryShaw/darc
  • Midnight Sea: RicYaben/midnight_sea
  • Prying Deep: iudicium/pryingdeep

Hosted services:

  • Tor66 and TorNode, both listed only as .onion addresses.
  • Onion Search Engine, with a clearnet site at onionengine.com and two .onion mirrors.
  • The Hidden Wiki, listed at 4thehidden.wiki.

Repository locations for tools the summary does name:

  • OnionScan: s-rah/onionscan
  • Onion-nmap: milesrichardson/docker-onion-nmap, a Docker-based repo
  • TorBot: DedSecInside/TorBot
  • TorCrawl: MikeMeliz/TorCrawl.py
  • DeepDarkCTI: fastfire/deepdarkCTI

  • Ahmia: ahmia/ahmia-site, plus ahmia.fi

Caveats

  • The page does not say which tools are maintained, what each one does, or how they compare. The reader has to open each repository to judge that.
  • The onion links are listed without any note on whether they are current or trustworthy.
