The Dark Web is infamous for abetting criminal activity by providing some level of anonymity for its users through the use of the Tor Network. The sale of banned substances, weapons, and illegal services is frequent on the dark web, creating a significant problem for law enforcement at every level. To combat this issue, we have developed DREAD: a Dark Web search engine designed to identify banned substances, weapons, and illicit activity on the Dark Web. Additionally, we seek to provide Dark Web trends and other statistics through our DREAD web application to analyze criminal activity and act accordingly. The source for the DREAD project can be found at the GitHub repository at ^[1]
