Onionshare: Share files of any size securely over the Tor network

H Onionshare σας επιτρέπει να χρησιμοποιήσετε το δίκτυο Tor για να στείλετε αρχεία οποιουδήποτε μεγέθους με , without having to upload them to a service like Dropbox or allow a third party to access your private cloud.

Onionshare

Η Onionshare works by creating a temporary ".onion" web address on the Tor network that you can share with a friend. When you're done, you can stop sharing, and the address will no longer work. Of course, if you are interested in security, be sure to encrypt the message with the .onion address you send to your friend.

The service requires you to install the corresponding one on your computer. This installation is very simple. Those of you who have Windows can download this installer from github and all you need to do is run it. Respectively there is an instaler for them as well Mac OS X users. Τέλος υπάρχουν οδηγίες για τους χρήστες των Linux Debian, Ubuntu, και Fedora. Αν δεν τρέχετε καμία από τις παραπάνω linux διανομές, η εφαρμογή είναι ανοικτού , so you can always build it yourself following the relevant instructions.

The Onionshare it is a simple graphical program and has a basic interface. When you open it you will be taken to the main window which has an area where you can transfer your files you want to share as well as a button where you can to add them. Once you've gathered everything you want to share, click the 'Start Sharing' button.

It will take Onionshare a few seconds to generate a url. When everything is ready, a URL will appear so you can send it to your friends. When you have finished sharing, simply click the "Stop Sharing" button and the ".onion" link will no longer be available.

Once you have the URL of an Onionshare file, you can browse to that address using the Tor Browser. The page you will see is quite simple, and has in addition to a download link for your file and various information.

In fact, with Onionshare, you create one on your computer web server, and share as many large files as you want directly from your computer. This means that the download speed of the recipient of the files depends on your upload speed. However, compared to a traditional web or with a simple ftp, the entire connection goes through the Tor network and so is relatively anonymous and secure.
