## What it is
Darkdump is an open-source OSINT tool for querying multiple dark web search engines and scraping onion site results for emails, metadata, keywords, documents, and images. It offers both a terminal CLI and a local browser-based interface, routing traffic through Tor and filtering results against Ahmia's abuse blacklist.

## Use cases
- search the deep web for a keyword from the terminal
- scrape onion sites for emails and documents during an investigation
- run OSINT reconnaissance on dark web marketplaces
- query multiple dark web search engines like ahmia, tor66, and tordex
- monitor dark web mentions of a domain or organization
- collect metadata and images from .onion sites

## When to choose
- you need a scriptable CLI for dark web OSINT investigations
- you want aggregated results from multiple dark web search engines in one tool
- you need automatic abuse-content filtering via Ahmia's blacklist
- you prefer a local browser interface alongside terminal output

## When to avoid
- you need a fully managed SaaS threat-intelligence platform with alerts and reporting
- you cannot or will not configure and run a Tor control port
- you want clearnet-only web scraping without dark web focus
- you need guaranteed uncensored results without confirmation prompts
