## Singularity.getDarkwebProgramCost() method

Check the price of an exploit on the dark web

**Signature:**

```typescript
getDarkwebProgramCost(programName: string): number;
```

## Parameters

|  Parameter | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
|  programName | string | Name of program to check the price of |

**Returns:**

number

Price of the specified darkweb program (if not yet purchased), 0 if it has already been purchased, or -1 if Tor has not been purchased. Throws an error if the specified program/exploit does not exist

## Remarks

RAM cost: 0.5 GB \* 16/4/1

This function allows you to check the price of a darkweb exploit/program. You MUST have a TOR router in order to use this function. The price returned by this function is the same price you would see with buy -l from the terminal. Returns the cost of the program if it has not been purchased yet, 0 if it has already been purchased, or -1 if Tor has not been purchased (and thus the program/exploit is not available for purchase).

If the program does not exist, an error is thrown.

## Example


```js
const programName = "BruteSSH.exe";
const cost = ns.singularity.getDarkwebProgramCost(programName);
if (cost > 0) ns.tprint(`${programName} costs $${ns.formatNumber(cost)}`);
```
