VormWeb DarkWeb Search Engine

VormWeb DarkWeb Search Engine is a German Darknet search engine that started in November 2020 as a simple search alternative for the open Internet (Clearnet), but later failed, switched to Darknet services and adapted itself to such successfully. Because of that, we in the VormWeb project are focussing on indexing truely genuine news, E-Mail, chat, market, forum, community and software-related sites and put value on quality. This separates us from any other Darknet search engine, which are indexing plenty of clones from the Darknet daily.

Our Darknet search engine is accessible on the Clearnet, but also on the Darknet. So that people with less experience can also use our search engine, we keep all pages clear and minimalistic. VormWeb is completely free of JavaScript, ads and trackers and does not collect sensitive information of any user.We recommend you to use our hidden service, as it provides a higher anonymity thanks to 6 layers of encryption due to the connection with the Tor network.

The Search

The VormWeb search mechanism is not as developed as the known Clearnet search engines due to the way the Darknet works. We are not using a ranking system to manipulate the search results. You see what everybody else sees. We recommend you to write your queries in English if you couldn’t find any search results, as the Darknet is not very popular in other languages. We are not responsible for the content you see on third-party sites.

Security levels at VormWeb DarkWeb Search Engine

The search results you can find on our search engine are categorized into three security levels.

Verified

Verified search results do come with the possibility for users to check the PGP signatures given by site operators independently, so that trusting us is not necessary. That, however, depends on site operators providing such signatures

Warning

Darknet sites listed with this badge have been found by our crawler and might stand before a pending check for legitimacy, making it not possible to title those as genuine yet. The user must find out whether such commercial services are genuine or not by themselves in this case, if they want to use those.

Risky

Search utilities at VormWeb DarkWeb Search Engine

We have implemented small utilities in the search function to facilitate the exploration of the Darknet with VormWeb. The context of these utilities are available in both German and English.

Darklexika

Darklexika is an utility of VormWeb to summarize information about any Darknet service or known person. The information are contained in a gray box next to the search results and are similar to an encyclopedia, although we don’t provide entire wiki pages.

Darkglossary

Darkglossary is an utility of VormWeb wherewith certain words in the relevant IT spaces of the Darknet can be searched to get a definition. Words like these are those commonly used on forums.

What is Tor?

With this technology, called “onion routing”, the Tor Network protects it’s users from surveillance and control of ISPs, tech enterprises and governments.
To be able to connect into this network for the purpose of surfing, the Tor Project developed the Tor Browser.One can only enter the Darknet through a connection to the Tor Network (With the Tor Browser Bundle).
All hidden services are 56 letters long (Onion v3) and end with the Internet-TLD .onion.

Blocked contents : VormWeb DarkWeb Search Engine

We completely refuse to index sites which portray contents of the sexual abuse or raping of children, youth or women. Instead, we display a warning and support websites for people with such urges or who suffer from pedophilia/hebephilia. Under these circumstances, complete freedom applies to all other Darknet content, as we stand by the principle of freedom from censorship.
