WEBVTT 00:00.510 --> 00:05.070 So the Tor browser is a modified version of ESR Firefox. 00:05.100 --> 00:09.450 It is configured to route all traffic through the Tor network. 00:09.480 --> 00:15.840 Therefore, it improves our privacy and anonymity and because it routes all traffic through the Tor 00:15.840 --> 00:16.510 network. 00:16.530 --> 00:22.320 Using it, we can access Tor hidden services or what's commonly known as darknet websites. 00:22.920 --> 00:28.410 Now the browser itself is usually patched from all the known vulnerabilities to make sure that it is 00:28.410 --> 00:29.850 as secure as possible. 00:30.030 --> 00:35.670 It also comes with a number of plugins disabled to make it more secure and more private, and it also 00:35.670 --> 00:43.170 has a number of extra plugins to improve the privacy and anonymity of the user, such as HTTPS Everywhere, 00:43.170 --> 00:46.310 which forces HTTPS traffic through all websites. 00:46.320 --> 00:52.830 Fixing the exit node problem that I spoke about earlier and it comes with no JavaScript which prevents 00:52.860 --> 00:58.410 JavaScript from running on websites because JavaScript can be used to anonymize you. 00:59.250 --> 01:01.590 So all in all, it's a pretty nice package. 01:01.620 --> 01:06.960 Like I said, we will still be using it in the future in the other operating systems, and you can just 01:06.960 --> 01:09.540 install it on any operating system that you want. 01:09.540 --> 01:12.550 And if you do that, you'll still get some basic protection. 01:12.570 --> 01:18.870 It will improve your privacy and anonymity, and you'll also be able to access the darknet or onion 01:18.870 --> 01:19.920 hidden services. 01:20.610 --> 01:26.310 So let's go ahead and see how we can first download Tor and then we'll discuss how we'll install it 01:26.310 --> 01:29.190 on Windows, OSX and Linux. 01:29.580 --> 01:32.550 Right here I have the download page of Tor. 01:32.580 --> 01:36.300 I will include the link for this page in the resources. 01:36.300 --> 01:41.700 And as you can see, you can download Tor for Windows, for OS X and for Linux. 01:42.270 --> 01:49.320 Now if you load this page and it doesn't work for you, then your network or your internet service provider 01:49.320 --> 01:51.330 might be blocking this page. 01:51.390 --> 01:57.540 So what I'm going to do is I'm going to include another link, which is the link of the Tor's project 01:57.540 --> 02:00.480 repository, where you can download Tor as well. 02:00.480 --> 02:04.110 And as you can see, we have links for Windows, OSX and Linux. 02:04.980 --> 02:11.190 It's highly unlikely that this will be blocked because this is part of GitHub, which is a huge platform 02:11.190 --> 02:14.430 that contains programs for all sorts of things. 02:14.430 --> 02:17.600 So it's highly unlikely that this is blocked. 02:17.610 --> 02:24.420 But if this is blocked, if you try to load this page and it still didn't work, then you can use any 02:24.420 --> 02:33.000 of the methods listed in here to get Tor, so you can send an email to get to a Tor project dot org 02:33.000 --> 02:39.210 and just tell them the operating system of your computer so you can type windows to get Windows OS X 02:39.210 --> 02:42.510 to get an OS X version or Linux to get a Linux version. 02:42.510 --> 02:47.010 And they will send you a download link as a response. 02:49.400 --> 02:55.160 You can also use XRP or Twitter in a similar fashion to get Tor. 02:55.850 --> 03:02.460 Obviously you only need to do this if the Tor website and their git repo right here are blocked. 03:02.480 --> 03:04.310 So first try these things. 03:04.340 --> 03:07.220 If that didn't work, then you can try this method. 03:08.120 --> 03:10.160 This is actually very, very simple. 03:10.400 --> 03:13.130 I have an example right here that I've just tested. 03:13.130 --> 03:21.710 So all I did is I sent an email and I literally just said Windows n to get the English version to get 03:21.710 --> 03:23.900 to a third project dot org. 03:24.050 --> 03:30.680 And a few minutes after that, I got it in my inbox right here with two download links for the latest 03:30.680 --> 03:31.790 version of Tor. 03:32.770 --> 03:38.860 So once you download the relevant version to your operating system, you can just double click it and 03:38.860 --> 03:41.230 go ahead with the installation process. 03:41.350 --> 03:48.160 But I want to show you how to verify the download first to make sure that the file has not been modified 03:48.160 --> 03:49.960 before you received it. 03:50.260 --> 03:54.890 So right now just go ahead and download Tor for your operating system. 03:54.910 --> 03:56.080 Do not run it. 03:56.080 --> 04:01.570 And in the next lectures I'm going to show you how to install it for Windows, OSX and Linux. 04:01.570 --> 04:04.200 So the next lecture will be for Windows. 04:04.210 --> 04:10.120 The lecture after that is going to be for OS X and the third lecture after this is going to be for Linux. 04:10.150 --> 04:12.550 Feel free to skip any of these lectures. 04:12.550 --> 04:16.420 Just go to the lecture that'll cover your operating system. 04:16.630 --> 04:21.100 You won't lose any information if you skip any of these lectures.
