🔍 Search Options & Dark Web Documentation

Explore the powerful search capabilities of GeoSentinel, from surface web OSINT to the depths of the dark web. 🕵️‍♂️🔒

🌐 Advanced Web Scan

The Advanced Web Scan tool allows you to perform deep OSINT searches across multiple platforms and search engines simultaneously.

🛠️ How to Use

  • URL: /api/tools/web_scan
  • Method: POST
  • Parameters:
    • query: Your search term or target.
    • type: text, images, or all.
    • sources: A list of platforms to target.
    • aggressive: Set to true for deep scraping of result pages.

📱 Supported Sources

You can restrict your search to specific high-value OSINT sources:

  • Social Media: Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, LinkedIn.
  • Communication: Telegram, Discord.
  • Developer/Code: GitHub, StackOverflow.
  • Leaks/Dumps: Pastebin, BreachForums.
  • General Web: Multi-engine aggregation (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo).

🚀 Aggressive Mode

When Aggressive Mode is enabled, GeoSentinel goes beyond simple search results. It attempts to visit the top result links and extract the actual page content to provide a more comprehensive intelligence briefing.

🔒 Dark Web Search

GeoSentinel provides integrated access to the dark web, allowing you to search across multiple .onion search engines anonymously. 🕶️

🛡️ How it Works

  1. Tor Network: If a Tor proxy is running locally (port 9050), GeoSentinel routes queries through the Tor network to access .onion sites directly.
  2. Onion Aggregation: It queries a vast list of dark web engines, including:
    • Ahmia
    • OnionLand
    • Torgle
    • Torch
    • ...and many others.
  3. Clearnet Fallback: If Tor is not available locally, the system automatically falls back to the Ahmia clearnet proxy to fetch results.

🕵️‍♂️ Accessing Dark Web Results

Results from the dark web are flagged with the TOR_NETWORK or Ahmia_Clearnet source tag. These links typically end in .onion and require a Tor-enabled browser (like Tor Browser) to open.
