# OnionClaw — Tor / Dark Web Access

**by JacobJandon** · MIT License · [github.com/JacobJandon/OnionClaw](https://github.com/JacobJandon/OnionClaw)

OnionClaw routes all requests through the Tor network. It searches 12 verified-live dark web search engines simultaneously, fetches .onion hidden service pages, rotates Tor circuits, and produces structured OSINT reports using the Robin investigation pipeline.

## Setup (run once after install)

Install Python dependencies:
```bash
pip3 install requests[socks] beautifulsoup4 python-dotenv stem
```

Run the interactive first-run wizard (sets up `.env` and torrc in one step):
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/setup.py
```

Or set up manually:
```bash
cp {baseDir}/.env.example {baseDir}/.env
# Edit {baseDir}/.env — add LLM_PROVIDER + API key (optional; search and fetch work without one)
```

Start Tor (required before any command):
```bash
# Linux:  sudo apt install tor && sudo systemctl start tor
# macOS:  brew install tor && brew services start tor
# Custom: tor -f /tmp/tor_data/torrc &   (setup.py creates this)
```

Enable circuit rotation (ControlPort) — required for `renew.py`:
```
Add to /etc/tor/torrc:
  ControlPort 9051
  CookieAuthentication 1
Then restart Tor.  setup.py does this automatically.
```

---

## Commands

### Check Tor is running

**Always run this first** before any search or fetch.

```bash
python3 {baseDir}/check_tor.py
```

Output: exit IP address and `tor_active: true/false`. If tor_active is false, tell the user to start Tor and stop.

---

### Rotate Tor identity

Get a fresh exit node and new identity. Use between investigation sessions or when you need a new IP.

```bash
python3 {baseDir}/renew.py
```

Output: `success: true/false`. If false, the user needs to ensure ControlPort 9051 is enabled and `TOR_DATA_DIR` is set in `.env`.

---

### Search the dark web

Search all 12 verified-live dark web engines simultaneously. Returns deduplicated `{title, url, engine}` results.

**Basic search:**
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/search.py --query "SEARCH_TERM"
```

**With result limit:**
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/search.py --query "SEARCH_TERM" --max 30
```

**Specific engines only:**
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/search.py --query "SEARCH_TERM" --engines Ahmia Tor66 Ahmia-clearnet
```

Available engines: Ahmia, OnionLand, Amnesia, Torland, Excavator, Onionway, Tor66, OSS, Torgol, TheDeepSearches, DuckDuckGo-Tor, Ahmia-clearnet

**Tip:** Use short keyword queries (≤5 words). Dark web indexes respond better to focused keywords than natural-language questions.

---

### Fetch a .onion page

Fetch the full content of any .onion URL or clearnet URL through Tor.

```bash
python3 {baseDir}/fetch.py --url "http://SOME.onion/path"
```

Output: title, text (first 3000 chars), link list, HTTP status. If status is 0 or error is set, the hidden service is unreachable.

---

### Check which search engines are alive

Ping all 12 engines via Tor and get latency + status for each.

```bash
python3 {baseDir}/check_engines.py
```

Output: per-engine up/down status, latency in ms. Use this before a large search run to pass only alive engines to `--engines`.

---

### OSINT analysis

Analyse scraped dark web content with an LLM. Produces a structured sectioned report.

**From a string:**
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/ask.py --query "INVESTIGATION_QUERY" --mode MODE --content "RAW_TEXT"
```

**From a file:**
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/ask.py --query "INVESTIGATION_QUERY" --mode MODE --file /path/to/content.txt
```

**From stdin (pipe):**
```bash
echo "CONTENT" | python3 {baseDir}/ask.py --query "QUERY" --mode MODE
```

**Analysis modes:**

| Mode | Use for |
|---|---|
| `threat_intel` | General OSINT (default) — artifacts, insights, next steps |
| `ransomware` | Malware/C2/MITRE TTPs, victim orgs, indicators |
| `personal_identity` | PII/breach exposure, severity, protective actions |
| `corporate` | Leaked credentials/code/docs, IR recommendations |

**With custom focus:**
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/ask.py --query "QUERY" --mode threat_intel --custom "Focus on cryptocurrency wallet addresses"
```

---

### Full OSINT pipeline (one command)

Runs the complete Robin pipeline: refine query → check live engines → search → filter best results → batch scrape → OSINT analysis.

```bash
python3 {baseDir}/pipeline.py --query "INVESTIGATION_QUERY" --mode MODE
```

**With more results:**
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/pipeline.py --query "INVESTIGATION_QUERY" --mode ransomware --max 50 --scrape 10
```

**Without an LLM key (raw results only):**
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/pipeline.py --query "INVESTIGATION_QUERY" --no-llm
```

**Options:**
- `--query` — investigation topic (natural language OK — it gets refined automatically)
- `--mode` — `threat_intel` (default), `ransomware`, `personal_identity`, `corporate`
- `--max` — max raw results from search (default 30)
- `--scrape` — how many pages to batch-fetch (default 8)
- `--custom` — custom LLM instructions appended to the mode prompt
- `--out FILE` — write final report to a file
- `--no-llm` — skip refine/filter/ask steps; dump raw scraped content (no API key needed)

---

## Typical investigation flows

### "Search the dark web for X"
1. `python3 {baseDir}/check_tor.py` — verify connected
2. `python3 {baseDir}/search.py --query "X"` — search all engines
3. `python3 {baseDir}/fetch.py --url "URL"` on 2-3 top results
4. `python3 {baseDir}/ask.py --mode threat_intel --query "X" --content "..."` on combined text

### "Has company.com been leaked on the dark web"
1. `python3 {baseDir}/check_tor.py`
2. `python3 {baseDir}/pipeline.py --query "company.com data leak credentials" --mode corporate`
3. Present the structured report to the user

### "Investigate ransomware group X"
1. `python3 {baseDir}/check_tor.py`
2. `python3 {baseDir}/pipeline.py --query "GROUP_NAME ransomware" --mode ransomware`

### "Fetch this .onion URL"
1. `python3 {baseDir}/check_tor.py`
2. `python3 {baseDir}/fetch.py --url "URL"`
3. Show the user the title + text content

---

## Important notes

- All traffic routes through Tor — tell the user this when relevant.
- .onion sites are frequently offline — if fetch returns `status: 0`, the site is temporarily down.
- Dark web search indexes go down often — run `check_engines.py` first and filter by alive engines.
- LLM tools (`ask`) require an API key in `{baseDir}/.env`. Search and fetch work without any key.
- Use responsibly and lawfully — OSINT, security research, and threat intelligence only.

## Maintenance

### sync_sicry.py — update bundled sicry.py from upstream

`sync_sicry.py` fetches the latest (or a tagged) `sicry.py` from the upstream
[SICRY™ GitHub repo](https://github.com/JacobJandon/Sicry) and overwrites the
bundled copy inside OnionClaw. Run it after a new SICRY™ release is published.

### Checking for OnionClaw updates

OnionClaw will **automatically notify you** whenever a newer release is
available — a one-line message is printed at startup of `pipeline.py` if an
update exists. You can also check on demand:

```bash
# Quick CLI update check (prints latest version, release URL, upgrade command):
python3 {baseDir}/pipeline.py --check-update

# Programmatic check from any Python environment:
import sicry
r = sicry.check_update()
if not r["up_to_date"]:
    print(f"Update: {r['current']} → {r['latest']}  {r['url']}")
```

Upgrade after a new release:

```bash
git -C {baseDir} pull                          # update the whole repo
python3 {baseDir}/sync_sicry.py               # re-sync sicry.py from SICRY™
```

The check is clearnet-only (not through Tor), uses a 4-second timeout, and
is always silent on network errors.

```bash
# Pull latest main branch:
python3 {baseDir}/sync_sicry.py

# Pull a specific release tag:
python3 {baseDir}/sync_sicry.py --tag v1.2.0

# Preview without writing (dry run):
python3 {baseDir}/sync_sicry.py --dry-run
```

**Development workflow** (when editing sicry.py locally):
1. Edit `OnionClaw/sicry.py`.
2. Copy to parent repo: `cp OnionClaw/sicry.py Sicry/sicry.py`
3. Commit + tag both repos, then push.
4. Once the tag is live on GitHub, users can run `sync_sicry.py --tag vX.Y.Z`
   to update their OnionClaw copy.

Flags:
- `--tag REF`   — git ref or tag to fetch (default: `main`)
- `--dry-run`   — show what would happen without writing anything
