Website and download link checked - no problem.

@midas - I wasn't sure what an "anonymous serverless web portal system" was as well! I added a link to their introduction page in the listing's synopsis.

This program has my favorite password generator function, creating alternately the most random looking passwords or, using the "pronoucable" feature some legitimately easy to remember‭ (‬yet still strong) ‬passwords.

Also,‭ ‬I‭’‬ve been using GPG4USB for my passwords for quite a while now,‭ ‬but sort of annoyed by the lack of a‭ ‬search‭ ‬function‭ (‬I‭’‬ve suggested that to the developers,‭ ‬but there hasn‭’‬t been a release in quite a while‭)‬.‭ May switch to this or ask the devs to support GPG.

TorChat v0.9.9.551

webfork on 22 Jul 2012

TorChat is a basic instant messaging client focused on security and anonymity. Unlike other tools, it requires almost no setup: just share your randomly-generated username (like "bkmworoidjwxz5l") to connect with other TorChat users. These are easily created/discarded to help maintain anonymity.

The program uses the Tor network's hidden services feature to send messages between peers with authentication and encryption based on public key exchange.

Also available for Linux.

sounds interesting to me too... with all the anonymous activity going on though... I'd be a bit suspicious of using this, not because of the privacy issues but because the ISP can still tell you are using this, if police requests info from them on possible people using things like this, could look bad on you :S

but I'd still keep this for us :D like I do with AdvOR :D

-.-: Generally speaking the more people that use tools like this, the less suspicious it becomes. Additionally, if everyone could trust their information to companies like Google and Facebook that run other chat services, tools like this wouldn't be necessary.

TorChat author has moved the project page.

+++ Feb-05, 2012: This project has been moved to github https://github.com/prof7bit/TorChat +++
Further development of TorChat will continue at github, effective immediately. I have not yet decided what should happen to this project page and repository here at googlecode, for now I will just leave it as it is and just not update it any longer, I will mark all downloads as deprecated and eventually remove the project page, close the issue tracker and maybe even commit an rm -rf to the svn repository.

May be it is worth to update the links.
