What makes it production-grade

Every module is built for pipelines that run without you watching.

🧅

Tor Network Access

CrawlHQ operates managed Tor exit nodes. No need to run Tor infrastructure, manage exit node reputation, or deal with CAPTCHAs on .onion sites.

🔍

Dark Web Search

Search across indexed dark web forums, marketplaces, and paste sites for any keyword, domain, or identifier. Structured results returned.

📡

Continuous Monitoring

Register a keyword or domain for ongoing monitoring. Get webhook alerts when new mentions appear on monitored dark web sources.

⚠️

Risk Classification

Findings are classified by risk level — data for sale, breach discussions, impersonation attempts, or general mentions. Prioritise your response.

🔒

Redacted Safely

Sensitive content is redacted before delivery. You get enough context to understand and act on the finding without CrawlHQ storing raw criminal content.

📋

Compliance Reporting

Generate dark web monitoring reports for DPDPA, ISO 27001, and cyber insurance requirements. Evidence of proactive threat intelligence.
