Quo, a Dark Web search engine has appeared. According to “Cybercriminals Have Started Indexing the Dark Web”:
QUO is “a dark web, full-text search engine designed to create a continuously updated index of onion pages” in order to provide its users with a way to “explore the dark web quickly and anonymously, without logs, cookies and JavaScript”.
You can locate the service at this link, but keep in mind that Dark Web search engines come and go. The system was up and running on December 28, 2020, when the research team checked our links. You can run queries for the Dark Web go to topics like carding, contraband, and crime as a service. Search results look like this:
What’s interesting is that the service indexes “eight million pages from around 20,000 thousand sites including their URLs, titles, metadata, keywords and headings.” With any Dark Web search engine, the question is, “What percentage of these indexed pages are active?”
You can also advertise on the service. Navigate to this link and get the details.
