Usage

Command-Line Interface

torspy allows you to interact with .onion sites from the command line:

Command 01

  • To display the content of a .onion site:
torspy http://example.onion
  • When the above command is run, a request goes through the Tor network to that onion site, and then the HTML page of the onion site is displayed on your terminal.

command 02

  • To save the displayed content to a file:
torspy http://example.onion -s file.html
  • The -s flag indicates saving, and you can specify any file name.

  • The above command transfers the entire HTML code that were printed on your terminal to another file

  • Also you can change the name of file.html to any name of your choice

command 03

  • How to move this file to a directory of your choice
torspy http://example.onion -s file.html -d /path/home/
  • -d stands for directory

  • Given after -d is your path and if you run the above command your file will move to the given path

command 04

  • Search only the content you need from Onion sites
torspy http://example.onion --find “search query”
  • If you enter the above command it will search only the content you need from the given onion site and print it.

  • The command --find means to search

command 05

    • To search for specific text within the content and save the results to a file
torspy http://example.onion --find “search query” -s search_results.html
  • If you enter the above command it will search for the content you need from the site you provided and then transfer all that content to another file.

command 06

  • How to search for content and move it to another directory
torspy http://example.onion --find “important information” -s results.html -d /path/to/directory
  • If you run the above command it will search for the content you need from the given onion site and then move it to a file and then move it to the directory you specified.

Message

  • important Remember that when trying to find subdomains, as well as trying to find directories, the success rate is only 20%.
  • Finding directories and subdomains for onion sites is more challenging than for regular websites because onion sites are part of the dark web, which is intentionally designed to be less accessible and more private.

command 07

  • Command that finds the directories on the onion site
torspy http://example.onion --dir directories-list.txt
  • This process may take some time

  • If you run the command above it will search for directories from the onion sites you provided

  • The command --dir stands for directories

  • This command performs directories scanning on the .onion site using the list of directories provided in the directories-list.txt file.

command 08

  • How to move all the lists of directories you got into another file
torspy http://example.onion --dir directories-list.txt -s output.txt
  • If you run the above command all the directory lists you get will be moved to another file

  • Also you can move this file to other directory or other path using -d command

command 09

  • Command that finds subdomains in onion site
torspy http://example.onion --sub subdomain-list.txt
  • This process may take some time

  • If you run the command above it will search for subdomains from the onion sites you provided

  • The command --sub stands for subdomains

  • This command performs subdomains scanning on the .onion site using the list of subdomains provided in the subdomains-list.txt file.

command 10

  • How to move all the lists of subdomains you got into another file
torspy http://example.onion --sub subdomain-list.txt -s output.txt
  • If you run the above command all the subdomains lists you get will be moved to

  • another file

  • Also you can move this file to other directory or other path using -d command

command 11

  • Command that analyzes content of an onion site
torspy http://example.onion --analyze
  • If you run the command above it will analyze the content of the onion site you provided.
  • The command –-analyze performs content analysis on the .onion site.

command 12

  • How to transfer the analyzed data to a file
torspy http://example.onion --analyze -s file-name.html
  • You can name the file whatever you want { chnage file-name.html }

command 13

#!/bin/bash

# List of .onion URLs
urls=("http://example1.onion" "http://example2.onion" "http://example3.onion")

# Loop through each URL
for url in "${urls[@]}"; do
    # Fetch content and save to a file
    torspy "$url" -s "${url##*/}.html"
done

        console.error(`Error: ${error.message}`);
        return;
    }
    if (stderr) {
        console.error(`Stderr: ${stderr}`);
        return;
    }
    console.log(`Output: ${stdout}`);
});

How torspy Works

torspy utilizes the following process to interact with .onion sites:

  • Checking Site Existence: It verifies if the .onion site exists and is reachable through the Tor network.
  • Fetching HTML Content: It retrieves the HTML content of the .onion site using Tor for anonymity.
  • Scraping and Searching: If specified, torspy searches for specific text within the content and extracts matching results.
  • Saving Results: Optionally, torspy allows you to save the retrieved content, either the entire HTML or the search results, to a file.
