There is a large body of knowledge in Video. Video inevitably is deep web as the bots can't understand it.  Infosec tends to have a lot of video therefore this knowledge is hidden from the surface web by the nature of the media.

Data Clustering Tool for deep web

Some tools for deep web work great, other tools OK. Occasionally, you'll find a tool that does wonderous things, and today we've found one.

Using this tool, we've located new deep web assets for several of our projects that we were missing before.  Do give this tool a look over.
