Hidden Pod

Static hidden services with no effort

A simple application to serve static content (simple HTML websites, images, videos, and whatever file you want) hosted directly on your PC and publishing it on a .onion address, accessible only through the Tor network.

Installation

• Make sure to have tor executable in your PATH (it will not be necessary in the next releases)

  • On Linux just install Tor from the package manager
  • On Mac you can install it through Macports
  • On Windows download the Tor Browser Bundle and add to the PATH variable the folder containing the tor.exe file

• Download the latest release and extract the .jar file

Usage

$ java -jar hidden-pod-0.1.0-standalone.jar "folder to serve"

It will print something like:

Serving at: t4xuexgzra2rizfk.onion

Then you can share this URL (better via something end-to-end encrypted).

When you close the application or turn off the computer the site will go down.

Warnings

This is an alpha software, do not use it for anything critical.

TODO

• Search for Tor binaries in default paths (or directly download the Tor Browser Bundle)
• Directory indexing
• GUI (chose-folder dialog and maybe a tray-icon)

Contributions are welcome!
