About OnionScan
OnionScan is a tool for investigating dark web hidden services (.onion sites) for operational security weaknesses. It identifies information leaks that could deanonymize hidden service operators, including exposed server status pages, analytics tracking codes, EXIF metadata in images, SSH fingerprints, email addresses, Bitcoin addresses, leaked IP addresses in headers, and linked clearnet infrastructure. OnionScan correlates findings across multiple hidden services to identify common operators. It is used by researchers and law enforcement to investigate dark web infrastructure and by operators to audit their own hidden services for OPSEC failures.
