The Tor Browser is a free software project that enables users to browse the web anonymously by routing internet traffic through a worldwide volunteer overlay network. The use of Tor aims to protect users' online identities, enhance privacy, and circumvent internet censorship.
"Night crawling" implies off-hours scanning. Configure your network monitoring (e.g., Zeek/Bro) to flag any connection attempts to non-standard ports between 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM local time. Correlate with Tor exit node lists.
If you are a red teamer or bug bounty hunter trying to simulate an FU10-style crawl, you cannot use your home IP. You need a rotating exit node. Tor provides: brew install tor brew services start tor
Warning: Do not use Tor for illegal activity. Using FU10 scripts against a site you do not own is a federal crime in most jurisdictions.

Before any night crawling, verify Tor is routing traffic. FU10 scripts usually rely on proxychains or setting http_proxy.
Install proxychains:
sudo apt install proxychains4
sudo nano /etc/proxychains4.conf
At the bottom, set:
socks4 127.0.0.1 9050
Test the exit IP:
proxychains curl https://httpbin.org/ip
If you see an IP not belonging to your ISP, Tor is functional. When installing Tor for FU10 crawls, users frequently
Look for GET /api/auth/jwt with missing Referer headers. Tor exits rarely send Referer.
