## What it is
pwndb.py is a Python command-line tool for searching leaked credentials via the pwndb Onion service through a Tor proxy. It supports searching by email, domain, or a list of emails and outputs results as JSON or text.

## Use cases
- check if my email appears in data breaches
- search leaked credentials for a domain
- check a list of emails for exposed passwords
- query pwndb onion service from the command line
- audit whether corporate emails were compromised

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight CLI to query the pwndb Tor hidden service
- you want to check breach exposure for emails or whole domains
- you need JSON or text output for scripting

## When to avoid
- you need a local breach database without Tor
- you want a GUI or web dashboard
- you require ongoing maintenance and updates (last release 2021)
