About Ahmia.fi
Ahmia’s mission is to create the premier search engine for services residing on the Tor anonymity network. In doing so, we hope to share meaningful statistics, insights, and news about the Tor network and the Tor project.
Contributors to Ahmia believe that the Tor network is an important and resilient distributed platform for anonymity and privacy worldwide. By providing a search engine for what many call the “deep web” or “dark net”, Ahmia makes onion services accessible to a wide range of people, not just Tor network early adopters.
It has also a function called Add Service where you can add your onion link to be indexed by it’s search engine.
Indexing and crawling:
Ahmia is mainly divided into three parts. Codes for these parts are open source and available on Github. You can click on respective links to access them.
- Index: It refers to the data that Ahmia has collected. We use Elasticsearch to maintain this data.
- Crawler: It is the part that crawls onions on the Tor network and feed it to the index. Scrapy is one of the crawlers that we use.
- Site: It is the backbone of Ahmia that includes the design of the website and makes the search engine work.
Ahmia collects a list of known .onion sites, information about these sites and saves it to its database. Collected data is filtered to remove child abuse content (Refer: Blacklist).
Once data is filtered, it is available for search at Ahmia.
