TorChat is a peer to peer instant messenger with a completely decentralized design, built on top of Tor's location hidden services, giving you extremely strong anonymity while being very easy to use without the need to install or configure anything.
TorChat just runs from an USB drive on any PC.
Tor location hidden services basically means:
· Nobody will be able to find out where you are.
· If they are already observing you and sniff your internet connection they will not be able to find out what you send or receive, to whom you are sending or receiving from, where your contacts are located.
Note
You can run TorChat from an USB-Drive and no matter where you are, you always have the same address as long as you don't delete the files in the folder torhidden_service.
The contents of this folder are your key. They must always be kept secret. If someone wants to impersonate your identity he must and will try to steal the contents of this folder from you. Keep this always in mind. It would probably be a good idea to use TorChat in conjunction with something like TrueCrypt or at least a password protected USB-Drive to protect your key file.
