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:

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

Again, I appreciate any and all feedback and help.

It’s software to protect your computer while you’re working on the internet.

It provides a layer of protection from viruses, a layer of protection from people trying to see what sites you’re visiting, and a layer of protection to stop hackers from viewing files you don’t want them to.

In a word, it does what computers already should do: Look out for your privacy and security.

A DemocraKey is a portable piece of software that works on any computer. Just walk up, plug in a DemocraKey, and you can be assured your files are much safer, your computer is better protected while browsing the web, and nobody will be able to tell which site you’re visiting.

So who can use a DemocraKey?

People in Restrictive Governments

If you live in a government that tries to regulate freedom of speech or thought on the internet, a DemocraKey will help you circumvent their restrictions while making it very difficult to catch you doing so. It is possible to build a DemocraKey nobody can prove exists, but really does. Neat stuff, huh?

People Traveling the World

It’s difficult to trust the security of third world internet cafes. Carrying a DemocraKey while traveling gives you a secure way to access your financial information while on the road, and makes sure none of your email can be read by a snooping government.

College Students

It happens to every male college student who isn’t computer saavy. Their computer gets a virus when they go to an “entertainment” site that installs software on their computer without asking them. Thanks to the software, they’re constantly being asked if they want to enlarge body parts or look at interesting pictures. Using a DemocraKey while surfing provides another layer of protection from these sort of sites. The DemocraKey makes it very difficult for them to install any software, and helps remove any that’s already on the computer. Breathe easy, you can take your laptop back home to your parents.

Lawyers

Are you working with information that can’t get out? Working with a DemocraKey ensures nobody can read or access documents without having both the DemocraKey and the passcode. It also helps keep your computer clean and free of keyloggers.

Everyone!

If you use a computer, you deserve privacy, and access to any information you want. The DemocraKey helps you find what you’re looking for without letting anyone else know what you’re into. So search for llamas drinking goat milk to your heart’s content, without worry. You’re protected.

So What’s the Catch?

There is no catch! The DemocraKey is 100% free and Open Source. It was created by people who care passionately about things like freedom of thought and personal privacy. We believe this technology should be accessible by everyone, not just the people who can afford it. So make your own and then make one for your friends. Give them away for all we care!
