This project develops a versatile tool which is especially useful over the Tor Network, being characterized by anonymity, privacy and fast retrieval of the data from the onion domains. The method is efficient as it can perform the task of searching on the dark web using different search engines while at the same time prioritizing on user privacy. Data anonymization and the protection of privacy are achieved by the identification of network entry and exit points as well as through network reconstruction procedures that include the implementation of continuous security measures while interacting with the onion domains. The core functionality covers WHOIS information extraction for onion domains, and thus providing users with data like legitimacy and ownership for the hidden services. On the other hand, the device assists in the acquisition of screenshots as well as response headers. explain techniques onion sites, enhancing the productivity with visual displays and technical details. Moreover, the system supports directory enumeration at a high level and allows users to list and enumerate subdirectories of onion web-servers. The availability of this functionality boosts the onion domain exploration where the whole assimilation of information and the extensive data aggregation processes are simplified.
