That picture in the article O_o Is this a search engine for prostitutes, did the last branch of illegal activity finally make it into the deepweb ?

Oh shit

This is huge. What people don't seem to understand is that this isn't just useful for catching criminals. It will change the way we research and will help us find more useful results in our web searches. Basically, it will allow developers to create search engines that are better than Google.

Is there anything of interest here? Seems like it's a Tor-enabled crawler with some basic data analysis capabilities.

Looks like it's crawling backpage. I'll take some of those french DD's.

Anyone try installing this yet?

-If so, which distro did you use?

I'm trying ubuntu 15.04 server

caution: it's a bit of a bumpy ride, while installing
