This communication method is used across the Internet, including the deep web and dark web.

Facebook (Computer B) then gives Computer A the information it searched. For example, when you type “,” your Internet Service Provider takes that request (from Computer A) and translates that domain name to the IP address corresponding to a Facebook server (Computer B). IP addresses aren’t very memorable, so they appear in the form of a web address. That name is an IP address (IP stands for Internet Protocol, it is formatted like this: 29.75.148.222). This piece of information could be a webpage, an advertisement, a calculation-pretty much anything.Įach computer uses a unique name during this communication. Computer A asks Computer B for a piece of information, and Computer B sends it back. The Internet, in its simplest form, is a group of computers talking to each other. To really understand what the deep web is, it helps to talk about what the Internet actually is.

The Deep Web is Where All the Criminals Hang Out, Right? we have to use Tor for DNS resolution of onion websites (as normal ISP DNS don't provide for the resolution of websites with.we have to configure Jupyter (the Python environment) to use Tor as a socks5 proxy (Tor has to be installed or otherwise accessible).To scrape Onion websites we have to overcome two obstacles:

The full source code is available on my GitHub site. As an example scraping the Hidden Wiki and extracting all onion links from its content is given. The following step by step guide is showing a very basic approach on how to scrape onion websites using Python. There are plenty of tutorials on the web on how to use Python and Tor to anonymously scrape the 'normal' web, but there is very scarce information about how to scrape onion websites that are native to the Tor / Dark Web environment. Now I have finally found some time to get this going: I wanted to find a way to scrape onion websites using Tor for quite a while already.
