Title: Tor part 6: onionshare for sharing files anonymously
Author: Solène
Date: 21 November 2018
Tags: tor unix networking openbsd
Description:
If for some reasons you need to share a file anonymously, this can be
done
through Tor using the port net/onionshare. Onionshare will start a web
server
displaying an unique page with a list of shared files and a *Download
Files*
button leading to a zip file.
While waiting for a download, onionshare will display HTTP logs. By
default,
onionshare will exit upon successful download of the files but this can
be
changed with the flag --stay-open.
Its usage is very simple, execute **onionshare** with the list of files
to
share, as you can see in the following example:
solene@computer ~ $ onionshare Epictetus-The_Enchiridion.txt
Onionshare 1.3 | https://onionshare.org/
Connecting to the Tor network: 100% - Done
Configuring onion service on port 17616.
Starting ephemeral Tor onion service and awaiting publication
Settings saved to /home/solene/.config/onionshare/onionshare.json
Preparing files to share.
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:17616/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
Give this address to the person you're sending the file to:
http://3ngjewzijwb4znjf.onion/hybrid-marbled
Press Ctrl-C to stop server
Now, I need to give the address
`http://3ngjewzijwb4znjf.onion/hybrid-marbled`
to the receiver who will need a web browser with Tor to download it.
