## Overview

This repository is a README-based directory of external OSINT resources for dark-web investigation, not an application with an executable workflow. A user consults the catalog, chooses a capability area, and follows a listed resource. The README documents search, onion-link discovery, scanning, crawling, and miscellaneous tools. Only the README and CONTRIBUTING.md appear in the supplied tree, so implementation details and runtime connections between the external tools cannot be established.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/apurvsinghgautam/dark-web-osint-tools/blob/main/README.md) (Search Tools)
