Most people think Google search is the
0:01
king of the mountain, but in reality
0:03
Google only indexes about 0.03%
0:07
of the actual internet. The rest is a
0:09
sprawling unmapped wilderness known as
0:12
the deep web and the dark web. Welcome
0:14
back to Policy Point, the dark side of
0:17
YouTube channels. [music] Today we're
0:19
going beyond the surface. We're looking
0:21
at the tools used to crawl private
0:22
[music] servers, the search engines that
0:25
find things that legally shouldn't
0:27
exist, and the [music] software that can
0:29
turn a regular laptop into a
0:30
surveillance hub. We start with number
0:33
one, Shodan. Often called the search
0:35
engine for hackers, Shodan doesn't look
0:37
for websites. It looks for devices.
0:39
We're talking about unsecured baby
0:41
monitors, industrial control systems for
0:44
power plants, and even command and
0:46
control servers [music] for satellite
0:48
arrays. It's illegal in the sense that
0:50
using it to access these devices is a
0:52
one-way ticket to a federal prison, but
0:55
the search engine itself [music] is a
0:57
terrifyingly legal window into the
1:00
world's most vulnerable hardware. If
1:02
you've ever wondered how a hacker in
1:03
another country can turn [music] off a
1:05
city's traffic lights, they probably
1:07
started here. Stick around, because by
1:10
the end of this list you'll realize that
1:12
Googling something is like playing with
1:14
crayons compared to what these tools can
1:15
do. The dark web pioneer, Grams. If you
1:19
were around for the era of the original
1:21
Silk Road, you know that finding what
1:22
you needed wasn't always easy. Before I
1:25
continue, I want to use this opportunity
1:27
to introduce the [music] community of
1:29
hackers, because there's so much I can't
1:31
share on YouTube, whether it's because
1:33
of platform rules [music] or because
1:34
some skills need deeper hands-on
1:36
explanations. Many of my videos got
1:38
deleted, and that's why I created a
1:40
Policy Point learning community for you,
1:43
a place where I can share everything.
1:45
When you join, you're not just getting
1:46
another course, you're getting access to
1:48
complete ethical hacking guides, [music]
1:51
the tools and techniques I wish someone
1:53
had handed me when I was starting out.
1:55
And here's the kicker, this is the stuff
1:57
I don't teach on here. No watered-down
1:59
content, no click bait, just raw
2:01
actionable [music] knowledge. On top of
2:03
that, you'll join an exclusive community
2:05
on Discord. I pinned the link in the
2:07
comment section below, but it's not for
2:09
everyone. The link is only available for
2:11
those who are serious about the journey.
2:13
Now, back to the video. Number two,
2:16
Grams. Launched [music] in 2014, Grams
2:18
was the first search engine designed
2:20
specifically to mimic the Google
2:22
experience for the dark web's black
2:24
market. It even had a "I'm feeling
2:27
lucky" button that would take you to a
2:28
random listing for things you definitely
2:30
can't buy at local Target. Grams used a
2:33
custom-built crawler that [music]
2:34
indexed onion sites across the Tor
2:37
network, providing a unified search bar
2:39
for [music] everything from counterfeit
2:41
currency to stolen database dumps. It
2:44
was illegal by association and was
2:46
constantly targeted by international law
2:48
enforcement agencies [music] like
2:50
Europol and the FBI. The founder,
2:53
mysterious figure known as Pimp Pretty,
2:56
eventually shut it down after the heat
2:57
became too much to handle.
2:59
>> [music]
2:59
>> Grams proved that even the underground
3:01
needs organization, and its legacy lives
3:04
on in every modern dark web crawler. It
3:07
was the Google of gutter tech, a
3:09
browser-based gateway to the world's
3:11
most dangerous digital storefronts.
3:13
[music]
3:14
Using it felt like walking through a
3:15
neon-lit bazaar where every shop was a
3:18
potential felony. It's a cursed relic of
3:21
the early dark web, reminding us that
3:23
even in the shadows, people still crave
3:25
a clean user interface and a functional
3:28
search bar. [music] Number three, the
3:30
Senses. While Shodan gets all the press,
3:34
Senses is the quieter, more clinical
3:36
brother that the digital archaeology
3:38
scene is obsessed with. Developed
3:40
originally [music] by researchers at the
3:42
University of Michigan, Senses is a
3:44
search engine that constantly [music]
3:46
scans the entire IPv4
3:49
address space. It doesn't just find
3:51
devices, it catalogs their identity
3:53
through SSL certificates and [music]
3:56
open ports for a technical explorer.
3:58
Censys is the ultimate map of the
4:00
private internet. It allows you to find
4:03
forgotten company servers that haven't
4:05
been patched since 2004 [music]
4:07
or private cloud storage buckets that
4:09
were accidentally left wide open to the
4:11
public. It's often banned from corporate
4:14
networks because it acts as a
4:15
reconnaissance tool for attackers in the
4:17
wrong hands. Censys is a weapon that can
4:20
pinpoint the exact [music] server
4:22
hosting a company's most sensitive
4:24
secrets without ever sending a single
4:26
suspicious [music]
4:27
packet to their front door. It's the
4:29
digital equivalent of having an x-ray of
4:31
every building in a city showing you
4:33
exactly where the vault is located. It's
4:35
a tool for the curious and the malicious
4:37
alike and it's the primary reason why
4:40
security through obscurity is a total
4:42
lie. If you want to see the skeleton of
4:44
the internet, Censys is the lens you use
4:46
to look through the skin of the web.
4:48
Number four, the Ahmia. Most dark web
4:51
search engines are clunky, broken, or
4:53
[music] just elaborate fishing scams.
4:55
Ahmia is different. It's an open source
4:57
search engine for [music] the Tor
4:59
network that actually tries to maintain
5:01
a sense of ethics, if that's even
5:03
possible in the dark. Ahmia is unique
5:05
because it filters out the most depraved
5:08
content making it one of the few clean
5:10
ways to explore the hidden services of
5:12
the web. However, it is still illegal in
5:15
the eyes of many authoritarian regimes
5:17
because it provides a direct path to
5:19
[music] dissident forums, leaked
5:21
government documents, and censored news.
5:23
It's the people's search engine for the
5:25
underground. Because it's open source,
5:27
its code is available for anyone to
5:29
audit [music] or mirror, making it
5:31
nearly impossible for any single
5:33
government to kill it off. It's a cursed
5:35
piece of software because it sits on
5:37
[music] the fence. It's a tool for
5:38
freedom fighters on one side and a map
5:41
for digital scavengers on the other.
5:43
It's the most reliable way to find the
5:45
hidden internet without accidentally
5:46
ending up on a federal watchlist.
5:48
Though, let's be honest, you're probably
5:50
on one just for clicking on this video.
5:52
It represents the paradox of the dark
5:54
web, a place of absolute horror and
5:56
absolute freedom, uh indexed by a search
5:59
bar [music] that refuses to be censored
6:01
by anyone. Number five, Intel X. If
6:04
you've ever wondered where your password
6:06
goes after a major data breach, the
6:08
answer is likely Intelligence
6:10
>> [music]
6:10
>> X or Intel X. This isn't your average
6:13
search engine, it's a massive archive of
6:15
leaked data. It indexes everything from
6:18
historical email dumps to the contents
6:20
of the dark web's most secret paste
6:22
[music] bins. For a digital
6:23
archaeologist, Intel X is a goldmine.
6:27
You can search by email, domain, or even
6:30
a specific Bitcoin [music] address to
6:32
see every time the data has appeared in
6:34
a leak or a hack. It's [music] illegal
6:36
in several jurisdictions because it
6:38
provides easy access to personally
6:41
identifiable information that should
6:43
have been deleted years ago. While it's
6:45
used by journalists and security
6:46
researchers to track the flow of stolen
6:48
data, it's also the first stop for
6:51
identity thieves looking for a fresh
6:53
lead. [music] It's the digital graveyard
6:54
of our personal lives, a search engine
6:57
that remembers every mistake you've ever
6:59
made online, even if you've [music]
7:01
since deleted the account. It is a
7:03
terrifying reminder that once your data
7:05
is on the web, it never truly
7:07
disappears. It just gets indexed by
7:09
tools like Intel X E, waiting for
7:12
someone to look it up. It's the search
7:13
engine that proves the internet never
7:15
forgets. And it certainly never forgives
7:17
your 2012 password choices. Number six,
7:21
the Fossa. While most people search for
7:23
names or sites, [music] Fossa was a
7:24
specialized engine designed to find
7:26
files across open directories and
7:29
unsecured FTP servers. It was the
7:32
ultimate wares hunter. If a company
7:34
accidentally left their backup server
7:37
exposed, Fossa would find the zip files.
7:39
If a government contractor left a PDF of
7:42
a blueprint on an unprotected port,
7:45
Fossa would index it immediately. It was
7:48
a scavenger engine that thrived on human
7:50
error and the laziness of sysadmins. It
7:53
was eventually banned and taken offline
7:55
after it was used in a string of
7:57
high-profile data thefts, but its spirit
7:59
lives on in various docking tools used
8:02
by the hacking community today. It
8:04
proved that the most illegal things
8:06
aren't always hidden behind complex
8:09
passwords. Sometimes they're just
8:11
sitting on a server waiting for the
8:12
right crawler to stumble upon them. It's
8:15
the trash picker of the internet,
8:17
finding massive value [music] in the
8:18
things we forget to lock up. Using a
8:20
tool like this today is essentially
8:22
digital trespassing and it's the reason
8:25
why IT departments have actual
8:27
nightmares about open directories. It's
8:30
a reminder that on the internet, hidden
8:31
is a relative term that only lasts until
8:34
a crawler like Fossa decides to take a
8:36
look. Number seven, the EXIF search.
8:39
This is where things get tech noir. EXIF
8:42
[music] search wasn't a search engine
8:43
for words, it was a search engine for
8:45
metadata. Every photo you take with your
8:47
phone [music] has EXIF data, GPS
8:49
coordinates, the time of day, and the
8:51
specific device model used. EXIF search
8:54
allowed users to crawl social media and
8:56
public forums to find photos taken at
8:59
specific coordinates.
9:00
>> [music]
9:00
>> If you want to see every photo taken at
9:02
a secret military base or a private
9:04
[music] celebrity estate, this was the
9:07
tool that made it possible. It was
9:08
illegal because it was a stalking tool
9:11
on steroids. It allowed anyone with a
9:13
computer to track people's movements
9:15
through their digital footprints with
9:17
terrifying accuracy. Most major
9:19
platforms like Twitter and Instagram
9:21
[music] now strip EXIF data from photos,
9:24
but the legacy of EXIF search lives on
9:27
in specialized OSINT tools [music] used
9:29
by private investigators and state
9:31
actors. It's a cursed reminder that
9:33
every time you click upload, you're
9:35
giving away more than just a picture.
9:37
[music]
9:38
You're giving away your exact location
9:40
in time and space. It turned every
9:42
vacation photo into a tracking beacon,
9:44
and for a long time, it was the most
9:47
dangerous search bar on the surface web.
9:49
Number eight, the end boss torch and the
9:52
deep sea. Finally, we have torch, short
9:55
for tour search, is one of the oldest
9:57
and most resilient search engines on the
9:59
Tor network. It indexes over a million
10:02
onion pages, making it the nuclear
10:04
option for finding the deepest layers of
10:06
the web. It's completely uncensored.
10:08
There are no filters, no safe [music]
10:10
search, and no mercy. Because of this,
10:13
it is the primary target for every cyber
10:16
task [music] force on the planet. Torch
10:18
represents the raw, unfiltered heart of
10:21
the internet. It's where digital
10:22
archaeology ends and digital danger
10:24
begins. Using a torch is like diving
10:27
into an ocean of static. Most of it is
10:29
noise, but buried in that noise are the
10:32
most illegal and cursed files in
10:34
existence.
10:35
It's the final boss because it refuses
10:38
to die. No matter how many times the
10:40
servers are seized or the nodes are
10:42
taken down, a new version of torch
10:44
always appears shortly after. It is the
10:46
eternal search bar of the underground,
10:48
and the reason why the dark web remains
10:50
a mystery to the average [music] user.
10:52
If the internet is a library, the torch
10:55
is the section where the books are
10:56
written in blood, and the lights never
10:58
turn on. Stay human, stay curious,
11:01
[music] and subscribe to Policy Point.
