A Technical Look at Verified Onion Links & Trust-Scoring for Tor Hidden Services

Anyone who has researched Tor knows that onion URLs are extremely volatile. Services disappear, domains rotate, clones appear — and phishing attempts are everywhere.

To help simplify the verification process, I created a technical directory of verified onion links, which is updated frequently.

The article also covers trust indicators, verification methodology, security considerations, and safe research practices for anonymous networks. It’s especially useful for cybersecurity practitioners, OSINT researchers, and threat-intel analysts who need reliable reference points inside Tor.

Feedback and contributions from fellow researchers are welcome.
