In 2022, I did a POC at a cybersecurity insurance company to scrape the dark web and compare information about breaches to what vendors offered. Basically, ransomware groups advertise which companies they attacked that wouldn’t pay up and I needed to validate we were getting good coverage.
I wasn’t able to figure out something like this from the command line, so I had IT set up me up with a whole isolated UI environmental to run Tor Browser, which was no fun. If I had to do it today I would totally reach for this, first.
