Thema: Anonymisierte und sicherere Chatclients/Messenger etc.

[mtron]

Hallo!

Verwendet eigentlich jemand von euch Torchat (python app; lauffähig auf Mac, Lin & win)?

Das ist laut homepage ein chat-client der das anonymisierungsnetzwerk Tor verwendet und den Traffic client-client verschlüsselt, also von der Theorie her sehr interessant, nur würd ich es gerne Testen .

Falls es jemand verwendet oder ausprobieren möchte, schicke ich gern meine .onion ID per pn .

cheers,
mtron

Hast PN

Nice

Bist du schon online? i.e. ist der icon vor deiner onion id schon grün?

EDIT: Das kann wirklich 15 min dauern bis ich online war... Aber sonst verlief der Test sehr positiv. Scheint soweit alles wie angekündigt zu funktionieren (auch wenn das UI anfangs sehr schlicht erscheint)
und das nette: alles funzt dank portable tor out-of-the-box nach dem install auf Linux

Nach dem ersten start ist eine tor .onion ID mit (myself) gekennzeichnet. Das ist die eigene "Adresse" im Tor netzwerk die man an bekannte weitergeben muss.

Ausserdem hat der Client auch eine File-Transfer funktion (nur für kleinere Sachen da Datenaustausch im Tor netzwerk sehr langsam ist) die gegebenenfalls von nutzen sein kann.

Kurzum: Sicherer, anonymisierender Chatclient, ohne aufwändige Konfiguration sofort einsetzbar und kinderleicht zu bedienen.

2 x jepp...funktioniert ja prima das Ganze  

EDIT: Das kann wirklich 15 min dauern bis ich online war...

Hmm...ging bei mir ratz-fatz...
