Overview
Developed during the 2014 Google Summer of Code with support from the Tor Project, the open source[1] search engine was initially built in Django and PostgreSQL. It indexes .onion URLs from the Tor network, excluding those containing a robots.txt file.[2] The search engine also filters out secret files of the Afghanistan war also activities such as drug trafficking, arms trafficking.[3]
The service partners with GlobaLeaks's submissions and Tor2web statistics for hidden service discovery[4] and as of July 2015 has indexed about 5000 sites.[5] Ahmia is also affiliated with Hermes Center for Transparency and Digital Rights, an organization that promotes transparency and freedom-enabling technologies.[6]
In July 2015 the site published a list of hundreds of fraudulent clones of web pages (including such sites as DuckDuckGo, as well a dark web page).[7][8] According to Nurmi, "someone runs a fake site on a similar address to the original one and tries to fool people with that" with the intent of scamming people (e.g. gathering bitcoin money by spoofing bitcoin addresses).[9]
