tor-browser
Headless browser automation with Tor SOCKS5 proxy support for accessing .onion sites and anonymous browsing. Use when navigating dark web resources, scraping Tor hidden services, conducting security research on dark web forums, or when anonymity is required. Supports navigation, element interaction, screenshots, and data extraction through Tor network.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/admin4giter/tor-browserWhat This Skill Does
The tor-browser skill provides OpenClaw with specialized headless browser automation capabilities routed through the Tor anonymity network. It acts as a bridge between the AI agent and the dark web, allowing it to interact with both standard clearnet sites and .onion hidden services. By leveraging Playwright with SOCKS5 proxy support, this skill facilitates anonymous web navigation, element interaction, and structured data extraction while maintaining the privacy inherent to the Tor network.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have a local Tor service running on the standard 9050 port. Execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/admin4giter/tor-browser
Ensure your system meets the requirements: Python 3.8+ and a compatible Chromium installation. You can confirm your setup by running tor-browser check-tor to verify proxy connectivity.
Use Cases
- Dark Web Research: Accessing and navigating onion services for threat intelligence gathering.
- Anonymous Scraping: Collecting public data from websites without exposing the agent's real IP address.
- Security Auditing: Testing how internal services or external portals respond to traffic originating from known Tor exit nodes.
- Private Browsing: Executing web-based tasks where bypassing geo-restrictions or IP-based rate limiting is necessary.
Example Prompts
- "Open the onion link http://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion and extract all the visible links on the homepage into a JSON list."
- "Go to the security forum at [onion-url], find the search input field, fill it with 'vulnerability report', and click the submit button."
- "Take a full-page screenshot of the specified dark web site and save it as evidence_capture.png."
Tips & Limitations
- Latency: Expect significantly slower page loads due to the nature of the Tor network and its multi-hop routing.
- Performance: Heavy scraping tasks should be throttled to avoid triggering anti-bot mechanisms common on the dark web.
- Security: While this skill provides anonymity, it is not a complete privacy solution; always exercise caution when interacting with untrusted dark web resources. Ensure your Tor service is correctly configured for the best balance of speed and security.
