About:
Onionprobe is a specialized utility designed to validate the reachability and functionality of Tor Onion Services. It performs end-to-end connectivity tests to ensure hidden services are correctly configured and responsive. This tool is essential for maintaining the reliability and uptime of critical Tor-based infrastructure.
Key Features:
  • Validates Onion Service reachability and descriptors
  • Performs end-to-end connectivity tests
  • Provides detailed error reporting and diagnostics
  • Lightweight and suitable for continuous monitoring
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring the health and uptime of production hidden services
  • Debugging configuration issues with new Onion Services
  • Automated testing within CI/CD pipelines for Tor infrastructure
Alternatives:
  • curl – Generic HTTP client; lacks native Tor descriptor handling and specific Onion Service validation logic.
  • torsocks – Utility to run applications through Tor; not a dedicated testing tool for service reachability.
