...(will be updated)

Dependencies

• Tor (Optional)
• Python ^3.9
• Poetry (Optional)

Python Dependencies

(see pyproject.toml or requirements.txt for more details)

Installation

TorBot

Using poetry

• TorBot dependencies are managed using poetry, you can find the installation commands below:

poetry install # to install dependencies
poetry run python torbot -u https://www.example.com --depth 2 --visualize tree --save json # example of running command with poetry
poetry run python torbot -h # for help

Using venv

• If using Python ^3.4,

python -m venv torbot_venv
source torbot_venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python torbot -u https://www.example.com

Options

usage: Gather and analyze data from Tor sites.

optional arguments:
  -u URL, --url URL     Specify a website link to crawl
  --depth DEPTH         Specify max depth of crawler (default 1)
  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit
  -v                    Displays DEBUG level logging, default is INFO
  --version             Show the current version of TorBot.
  --update              Update TorBot to the latest stable version
  -q, --quiet           Prevents display of header and IP address
  --save FORMAT         Save results in a file. (tree, JSON)
  --visualize FORMAT    Visualizes tree of data gathered. (tree, JSON, table)
  -i, --info            Info displays basic info of the scanned site
  --disable-socks5      Executes HTTP requests without using SOCKS5 proxy

• NOTE: -u is a mandatory for crawling
