Imagine carrying a portable security suite with you wherever you go. Walk up to any computer, quickly scan it for viruses, and then defeat any internet access blocks to view any website you want anonymously. It’s here, and the DemocraKey 2.0 Lite let’s you have it on your iPod.

First, download the DemocraKey software (50 meg download) here.

Plug in your iPod. It will take a few seconds, and iTunes will pop up. Close it, and run the DemocraKey installer.

Click next, and then click browse. Click on the My Computer button, and then find your iPod. Then click install. Let everything finish.

Double click My Computer, and then open up your iPod. The Portable Apps software will be installed. Run StartPortableApps. That’s it, the DemocraKey has been installed!

The Portable Apps icon will be in your system tray now. Click it, and then a menu will pop up that looks like this:

You now have three programs:

Clamwin
This is the anti virus software. Run this program to scan any computers you don’t trust. It will take a while to scan, but it’s very effective. You’ll usually want to select the C drive.

Thunderbird
This is the portable, secure email client. It uses GPG to encrypt emails you want to keep secure. Clicking it will start a wizard to walk you through its setup.

Torpark DemocraKey Mod
Finally we come to the meat and potatoes of the DemocraKey. This is a security enhanced version of the Mozilla 2.0 web browser, incorporating TOR seamlessly. Click this link, and you’re presented with a very familiar interface, after you connect to the TOR network:

Clicking the onion icon enables TOR and lets you circumvent your school/employer’s web blocker. It also allows you to surf anonymously, and doesn’t leave a trace of the websites you visit. In addition, you can visit “questionable” sites safely, because Firefox 2.0 has layers of protection from unscrupulous sites. You know you’re surfing anonymous when the tool bar looks like this:

This is a BETA version of the DemocraKey 2.0 Lite. It works flawlessly for me, but I’d like to get feedback from everyone. So download it, try it out, and let me know what you think. It’s a work in progress, but I’m really excited about its potential.

Download from SourceForge here. (Or, you can help out and download the torrent here.)
