## Description

TorBot is a suite of specialized tools for accessing and exploring hidden services on the Tor network. It functions as an onion crawler and web scraper that discovers hidden services by navigating onion domains to extract page titles, host names, and site descriptions.

The project distinguishes itself through link relationship mapping and hidden service verification. It generates visual trees of connectivity across the Tor network to map how different onion services relate to one another and includes a scanner to verify if specific hidden service addresses are live and reachable.

These capabilities are supported by a networking layer that routes all traffic through SOCKS5 proxies to maintain anonymity. The system uses recursive crawling to traverse anonymous domains and serializes the resulting site maps into flat files for offline analysis.
