XeroBank Browser, previously called Torpark,[1][2] is a source available (but not technically open source),[3] portable browser originally forked from Portable Firefox web browser with Tor access built into it. XeroBank Browser is designed for use on portable media such as a USB flash drive but it can also be used on any hard disk drive. As such, a secure and encrypted connection to any of the Tor routers can be created from any computer, and the browser clears all data that was created on the portable drive upon exit or on demand. The original Torpark was created by Steve Topletz using the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System. The current version is 2.0.0.4a and does not allow one to run another version of Firefox concurrently for security reasons. Open source refers to projects that are open to the public and which draw on other projects that are freely available to the general public. ...

Tor network

XeroBank Browser works by routing Internet traffic through several "onion" servers, obscuring the originating address. This does not naturally provide anonymity for other Internet programs, only the xB Browser. However, other applications data such as Pidgin can be routed through the Tor network via XeroBank Browser by directing the applications traffic to a SOCKS proxy at localhost, port 9050. This port can be changed via Xconfig, an INI generator for XeroBank Browser located in its App/ directory. For a more complete explanation of the functioning of the system, see Tor. Tor (The Onion Router) is a free software implementation of second-generation onion routing — a system enabling its users to communicate anonymously on the Internet. ...

Reading the Tor documentation is highly recommended to prevent configuration mistakes that could compromise the user's anonymity. XeroBank Browser is preconfigured, and the settings, especially within the browser, should not be modified unless done by an expert familiar with onion routing, and the workings of XeroBank Browser itself. Onion routing is a technique for pseudonymous (or anonymous) communication over a computer network, developed by David Goldschlag, Michael Reed, and Paul Syverson. ...

License

XeroBank Browser is released under the Torrify Ethical Software License Agreement, or TESLA for short. This license is derived from the Hacktivismo Enhanced-Source Software License Agreement, which is employed by Hacktivismo. This type of license states that private use is unlimited, except that unlike GPL, it may not be modified to include trojans, security compromising programs, spyware, or other malwares. It also prohibits modification of XeroBank Browser for use with commercial proxy services other than XeroBank. The Hacktivismo Enhanced-Source Software License Agreement (HESSLA) is a software license proposed by Hacktivismo that attempts to put ethical restrictions on use and modification of software released under it. ... Hacktivismo logo Hacktivismo is an offshoot of the CULT OF THE DEAD COW, whose beliefs include access to information as a basic human right. ...


XeroBank Browser's developers state that TESLA is free/open source software license, but critics state that TESLA doesn't satisfy either Free Software Definition or Open Source Definition due to restrictions on modifications, and thus Torpark is not FOSS.[7] This article is about free software as defined by the Free Software Foundation. ... The Open Source Definition is used by the Open Source Initiative to determine whether or not a software license can be considered open source. ... FOSS is an acronym for free and open source software that is most often used in English-speaking military software communities. ...

The Torpark Easter egg showing the black cross with Cult of the Dead Cow symbols.
