Torpark Privacy Browser
September 26th, 2006 by Ben Jim
How about using a web browser that was created by a hacking group and uses technology backed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (a digital rights group) to surf the web anonyously for those paranoids out there sound? We’ll the author, casting the conditioning built-in warnings in respect to using applications created by hackers, did just that for the sake of this post. An AV database, trojan & spyware detector, firewall updates and a few download minutes later, here I am happily browsing away without any security/infections warnings.

Well then you if you fall into the aforementioned category then Torpark is the browser for you. Based on a mod version of Firefox, Torpark was created by a Group calling itself Hacktivismo (the reincarnation of the renowned Texas-ased hacker organization called Cult Of the Dead Cow)and is touted to protect your privacy from governments intelligence service and data theives. Torpark uses its own network (Tor network) of net routers and encryption to anonymise the traffic and also regularly changes the net address that someone appears to be browsing from. It’s also stand alone installess but weighs in at 9.3Mb.
