OnionShare - what do you think about this piece of software?

Greetings,

I use the Tor hidden services features in txtorcon that Meejah and I
worked on...
It's a Tor controller API for Twisted Python applications. In some
cases existing Twisted applications
can use our Twisted Tor hidden service endpoint and parser without
modifying a single line of code.

Here's a powerful one-liner that reuses the Twisted webserver in a new
way to service HTTP requests over a Tor hidden service:

pip install txtorcon && twistd -n web --port "onion:80" --path ~/public_html

you can read more about txtorcon here:

https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon

You might also like the "pastebin" feature of carml:

Of course txtorcon is not the only Tor controller API for python.
There is also Stem which I believe has similar features that allow you
to create Tor hidden services for non-Twisted python apps. Read more
about it here:

https://stem.torproject.org/


btw if you read the Tor Weekly News then you would have heard about
these things =-)

If you need verified end-to-end crypto and reliability of data storage
then I'd suggest combining Tahoe-LAFS with Tor hidden services. I
occasionally organize cryptoparty workshops on using Tahoe-LAFS with
Tor hidden services. I can go into great detail about this if anyone
is interested.


Sincerely,

David
