How InfiNet Spectre Works

From a plain-English question to a verified dark-web brief in six steps. No scraping scripts, no bespoke tooling — just a workflow designed for analysts who value speed and safety.

Step 1 — Sign In

Sign in with email or Google. Every session is tied to your account so queries, briefs, and source notes stay organized over time.

Step 2 — Describe Your Research Question

Type what you are looking for in natural language. Examples: "mentions of a new infostealer targeting a bank in the MENA region", "leaked credentials from a specific SaaS vendor in the last 30 days", or "threat-actor advertising access to a European logistics company".

Step 3 — AI Refines the Query

Instead of making you hand-craft keyword combinations, Spectre's AI rewrites your question into several targeted dark-web search strategies. This captures slang, common misspellings, and actor aliases you might miss.

Step 4 — Spectre Searches Indexed .onion Sources

Queries are executed in parallel across indexed Tor sources — forums, paste sites, marketplaces, and structured intel feeds. Spectre never loads raw .onion pages in your browser. All retrieval happens server-side.

Step 5 — Triage With Summaries

Every result comes with a short AI-generated summary and a source attribution. You skim, flag, and reject in minutes rather than reading forum threads top-to-bottom.

Step 6 — Verify in Tor Browser

When you find something worth documenting, click through to open the original source inside Tor Browser. Verification always happens in Tor — Spectre never tries to replace the trust boundary.
