Archaeologist of the Dark Web - Because Manual Dark Web OSINT is So Last Season
Presenter: Apurv Singh Gautam

Dark Web OSINT and cyber threat intelligence investigations can get overwhelming fast. Investigators deal with endless onion links, unreliable marketplaces, scattered search engines, and constant time pressure. This talk introduces Robin, an AI powered Dark Web OSINT tool built to streamline and speed up your entire investigative workflow.

Robin automatically searches multiple Dark Web search engines, scrapes relevant onion sites, validates results, and uses AI to produce clear, actionable summaries. No more juggling multiple tools or wasting hours checking dead links. In this session, we break down the biggest challenges in Dark Web OSINT, how Robin’s architecture works, and how its scraping and summarization pipeline fits into real world CTI and investigation workflows.

If you work in OSINT, CTI, cyber investigations, threat intelligence, or Dark Web research, this talk gives you a practical tool you can start using immediately and a clearer understanding of how AI can simplify the investigative process.
