Seems nice. I've tried a couple examples and compared them to other websites like it, it works better. I don't have a Shodan account so I can't check it works well with it.

What do you guys think?

I used to use this method, among others, to fingerprint Tor nodes. I used murmurhash3 so it was compatible with shodan, too.

> i'm curious, fingerprint in what way/purpose? all the relays are publicly listed by the Tor Project, so i'm guessing you mean something other than "x computer is a tor node"

I understand the confusion. I was typing fast. I meant Tor hidden services. I ran a service called torwhois that collected data and shared it.

I thought Tor hidden services couldn't be enumerated?

I was able to enumerate them in a few ways: Public repositories, DNS leaks, and people searching the service for onions.
