See the Torproject's site for detail: Tor repositories. Linux installs of torchat should not have this problem as they use their Linux system's Tor which users should cause to be upgraded automatically using the Torproject's own repositories. It is remedied using the same general principles described above.

Users of the Mac fork of Torchat have a similar problem as that install also contains a tor executable in its installation. **If your torchat install folder is located somewhere other than C:\torchat, say on a USB stick, adjust the drive letter and folder location accordingly to wherever your torchat is installed, eg, F:\Doris\torchat\tor\ (c) Copy that tor.exe file to the correct location of your torchat's existing tor.exe file, eg: ** C:\torchat\bin\Tor\ Windows should then ask you if you want to overwrite your old tor.exe say YES. (b) Find the file tor.exe in the Torbrowser installation, eg, C:\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe -your location may vary depending on where you installed it and which install folder name you used.

The solution is to go to and download the latest Torbrowser for your version of Windows and then:.

The Tor binary in the Windows version of Torchat now dowloaded from this site is fatally outdated, so Torchat cannot connect to the Tor network.

Torchat runs over the Tor network, without a working Tor network connection, Torchat is dead.

Consequently, as of this date there are now very many thousands of dead Torchat for Windows installs. I'm sure an intrepid security researcher with some free time can find some interesting around their RichTextBox usage )Īnyway, it sure would be nice if y'all restored the AUTHORS.This site has not been maintained for a long time now. However, in terms of code-quality, the new features are implemented very amateurishly and almost certainly contain bugs if not outright security and or privacy vulnerabilities. I did not find anything actively malicious (eg backdoors, broken crypto, etc). I may make a future post outlining the sketchy things found, but the takeaway is don't use Speek.App if you care about your anonymity and safety. I have created a separate branch with additional (increasingly snarky) comments in the git commit messages here: You can find this branch in my own github repo with Speek.App's original commit messages here:įor the aforementioned turbo-nerds: I did restore the submodule relationship to libfmt and tor in my branches.įinally, I went through and audited the source (and it did not disappoint).

Ok, so the other day I rebased Speek.App onto the aforementioned commit and restored the entire git history.

Copying and pasting breaks this link so the version of tor in the Speek.App repo is now several months old

Torchat unsafe update#

We include these external dependencies as a git submodule, which is basically a soft-link to an external git repo to make it easy to update versions (for instance if we need a new feature or if there has been a critical bug-fix).

Side note (you can skip this paragraph if you're not a turbo-nerd): a side effect of this approach is that they have essentially copied all of the source of (a now old) version of tor (which Ricochet-Refresh uses for ed25519 encryption primitives) and the fmt library (which we use for debug logging, only enabled by a compile-time flag not set in our official releases). I'll leave it to the community to speculate as to whether this is due to maliciousness or incompetence.

Instead, the Speek.App team essentially copy+pasted the code into a new git repo, and made a v large 'initial commit'. So, the normal way of going about this is to create a clone of a git repo, and start a new branch with your commits on top. So despite their omissions, Speek.App is based off of Ricochet-Refresh as best as I can figure commit 56b33faa70337a812b57f8f19f8475af282eb6c0 from October 21: Github: web: AppImageHub: MacStore: WinStore: We want to create the best privacy messenger out there!įor more information please check out the following links: Please check it out and send us your feedback.

We also already have versions in the Mac Store, Windows Store and on AppImageHub and we also want to release versions for Android and iOS.

We are also working on multiple new features like: Emoji support, better file sharing and image sharing, multiple identities, backing up identities, password protection and much more is planned. The old Ricochet was not very attractive for most users and we think that it is important to onboard as many people as possible, because privacy becomes a bigger topic everyday (banning of E2E encryption, client side banning, etc.). Our main goal is to create a user friendly messenger based on Ricochet. The messenger is of course open-source and available on GitHub. We are developing a privacy messenger that is based on the good old Ricochet messenger ( (software)).
