The crawler project was a project on its own but after discovering that the many of the discovered sites were pedophile-related, I started to shut down the spider. Then I figured, what the heck, maybe I can hack around on Tor and see how close I can come to determining their real identity. For those that chose to run the scanner, their identity was revealed (name, IP, and enough of a hardware footprint to identify their machine).
