The good folks at Hacktivismo have unleashed Torpark - a portable web browser based upon everyones favorite Mozilla Firefox, the news is fresh out via PRWeb. This portable browser can be run from a USB stick thus making it more convenient and safer when using another persons computer ( friends or public ) to access websites as it leaves no information on the host computer. I haven’t tried Torpark out yet, but the original portable browser allowed you to keep your bookmarks and saved passwords with you.
Additionally Torpark offers a layer of anonymity via what is known as The Onion Router (TOR). A secure connection between you and TOR are made, at that point you are hopefully using a secure connection to an online service as normal, such as when logging into your gmail account or financial institution.
You can read more press releases from the Cult of the Dead Cow via their cDc news feed at PRWeb. I’ve also spotted this press release on Yahoo! News and via Google News.
