I think a section for meshnets might also be warranted (see: Hyperboria) They do not qualify as darknets, however meshnets are decentralized and offer privacy as well as protection from censorship.

If needbe, I'd be willing to work on this.

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on prism-break. The gaming community was recently heard on the matter of DRMs and it's a great feeling to see voices make a difference. I'm sure the same can be done in matters of privacy.

I'd be happy to do a pull request to include Linux Mint in the OS section, but I wanted to make sure you were ok with it first.

Let us know if you need more information about us in terms of privacy or even in terms of Libre/Free Software.

Midori is a fast and lightweight browser, GTK, free and open source

PS: DuckDuckGo is the default search engine

iOS is a nonfree OS, but there is GNU/Linux that one can install on a freedom friendly smartphone such as the gta04.

What do you think about a providing links on how to migrate from existing services to safe ones? Especially email and OS wise it would be helpful i guess.

How about adding Namecoin? I tried it out recently, and it's working really well.

http://namecoin.com/ (This page has browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox too)

Maybe use this icon:

I've added a "notes" section to the page in order to clarify some of the free software projects, and why some proprietary projects didn't make the cut.

Feel free to add to or translate the notes that are already there, but please bear in mind that they're a work in progress, and will change frequently.

You'll notice that the notes sections don't have JSON stubs yet. You can make your own.

Example HTML:

<span class="i18n-autistici-desc">A full range of free, privacy-aware services.</span>

Example JSON:

"i18n-autistici-desc": "YOUR TRANSLATION HERE."

Hope that helps!

How can RSS appear to be promoted as a way to stay informed, seems that there are interest to make it disappear, in the benefit of the use of surveillance social networks

Some people would probably prefer a Chrome based browsed, because of the plug-ins or the performance.

Ubuntu is by far the newbie-friendly transition to a Linux OS that anyone could make. Is there any reason why it wouldn't even be on the list?

Thanks for the list. I was really hoping to find an alternative to google calendar for small groups who can't manage their own caldav server. Any ideas?

Both iOS and Android are non-free and insecure Operating Systems. A good alternative to Android is Replicant, but iDevices have hardware tracking and are therefore completely insecure.

I2P supports both eMule (iMule) and Bittorrent (I2Psnark). They should be added.

I’m putting this here for other who know more about it to comment on.

All work on the prism-break.org project is released to the public domain as per CC0 (creativecommons.org). However it should be made clear that this is only applicable to the original code and the translations. (The list itself might not even be copyrightable.)

The non-original code is not released under CC0:

• normalize.css is used and is covered by a MIT licence: LICENSE.md (GitHub.com). Honestly this file shouldn’t be needed as the few resets we need can be managed by prism-break.org’s own CSS file.

• html5.js is used and is covered by a dual MIT and GPL2 licence. Again, I wonder if this file is needed for the site. The only HTML5 that is used it the footer-element, so we could just add it with document.createElement('footer');.

• jquery-1.10.1.min.js and jquery.color-2.1.2.min.js are both covered by a MIT licence: MIT-LICENSE.txt (GitHub.com). These are probably harder to stop using as it would require a complete rewrite of the scripting. To comply with the licence the file should be included, as per:

  The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

The project also includes logos of the software that is being mentioned. These logos cannot be licensed by prism-break.org to the public domain either.

As an example, the Mozilla trademark policy (Mozilla.org) makes the following two points:

• Accompanying Symbol - The first or most prominent mention of a Mozilla trademark should be accompanied by a symbol indicating whether the mark is a registered trademark ("®") or an unregistered trademark ("™"). See our Trademark List for the correct symbol to use;
• Notice - The following notice should appear somewhere nearby (at least on the same page or on the credits page) the first use of a Mozilla trademark: "[TRADEMARK] is a ["registered", if applicable] trademark of the Mozilla Foundation";

I might be interpreting this wrong – IANAL – but it seems to say prism-break.org must write ‘Firefox®’ and include a notice at the bottom: ‘Firefox is a registered trademark of the Mozilla Foundation’.

Several other companies might hold trademarks on other names that are being used on the page. Logos might also be protected by different licenses and registrations. (The Firefox logo has a special page on dos and don’ts (Mozilla.org).)

Adding a licence file containing all trademark notices and dependency licences will make it easier and safer for people to actually share and redistribute this list.

• Firefox logo is a registered trademark of the Mozilla Foundation.
• IceCat logo is released under a MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license.
• etc.

Tormail is webmail that is basically just riding on The Tor Project's trademark. It doesn't require Tor in any meaningful sense and it isn't secure socially or likely technically. Compared with riseup for social related security or secure mail provider for technical security. If hushmail is off the table, I'd encourage people to not use misleading services like tormail.

Yunohost is a fully-automated personnal server distribution.
It provides by default a preconfigured mail, instant messaging, and web server, with a web-application portal to simply access and add services through your web browser.

Internet was made as a decentralized network. But the last 10 years were the theater of a its great metamorphosis, where the biggest private companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft or Apple became stronger by centralizing a considerable amount of datas into huge data-centers. By giving them your datas, you allow them to exploit, analyse, censor or sell them. You have the choice to be out of this, because that is what Internet is made for.

Self-hosting is to:
Unshackle from private platforms.
Become the owner and the only person in charge of your datas.
Fight against restriction of the expression and sharing freedom.
Contribute to Internet independence and neutrality.

Could somebody add share and like buttons for all the major social network sites, Or is there a security threat with that?

BitTorrent Sync by BitTorrent, Inc is a proprietary peer-to-peer file synchronization tool available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It can sync files between devices on a local network, or between remote devices over the Internet via secure, distributed P2P technology.

What's the reason of listing Firefox and Thunderbird as "mostly free" when they are both licensed under free/open/libre licences GPL/LGPL/MPL?

?!

Nothing happens when clicking the dropdown menu

I think, personally, that the assumption that AWS, Rackspace, HP Cloud etc are in any way 'safe' is a dangerous assumption. Who has access to the live systems of my business or personal software running on these services? Who has access to snooping data in transit? Who has access to whats in RAM or on HDD?

Are there alternatives that provide some or any assurance of data security both on disk, in memory and in transit?

Is it possible to translate the notes, next to the listed alternatives?
For example: i18n-operating-system-note?

I ask, because I haven't seen any language files doing that.

It is a good idea to use open source software, but if we upload our data like contacts, appointments etc. to google or apple it wouldn't help at all. I use the service of http://wk3.org, which is basically a diaspora pod but the founder set up a lot of other services for his users for free. If you sign up there, you will get an email account, jabber account, caldav (calendar) and carddav (contact) server etc.

It is not quite well documented yet. But I asked for that and he is working on that at the moment. I think, this could complete your list.

Greetings, paul

I think adding IRC protocol and some free and open client (as Irssi, WeeChat etc) is a good idea :)

Hello,

openmailbox.org runs explicitly on Free Softwares and protect your privacy.

Can you add it ?

Thanks.

• Zoho Docs
• Office Web Apps

Maybe someone know some more prop software? :)

btw, maybe there are (as in Windows) some backdoors in local office suites, so add a category for Libreoffice

Tor chat is a popular working-out-of-the-box chat over Tor Hidden services (.onion).

What is Freelan ?

A free, open-source, multi-platform, highly-configurable and peer-to-peer VPN software, designed to easily connect remote hosts and mainly focused on security and performance.

It can be used to create from small to very large virtual private networks which can be dynamically modified.

Freelan works on top of UDP and implements a simple yet pretty secure VPN protocol that can create Ethernet tunnels over both IPv4 and IPv6.

Freelan is available as end-user binary packages and as a C++ library to ease its integration into other softwares.

I feel that TOR should not be the recommended choice for a web browser (especially it comes to general web browsing and downloads done by most individuals)

"Try to use Tor Browser as often as possible. Browsing is slower with Tor, but far more secure."

TOR is slow as it isn't designed for massive traffic. I feel that it should be reserved to activists and others in genuine danger from their governments, etc.

To recommend TOR as often as possible, in my opinion, is contrary to TOR's purpose.

TOR is also not perfect, and has several known weaknesses. Instead, a browser such as GNU IceCat should be the recommended default.

I'm fine with TOR being listed though, as long as the comment is changed and it is NOT made the default.

That's it. I'm from a hacklab on Buenos Aires and we're happy to help people use the software recommended on prism-break. I'm guessing other hacklabs too, it would be good to have a section linking to them :)

Make the bar for language choose and BTC donate a fixed bar that you see continuously while scrolling. Then you can remove the BTC adress and the Github link in the footer.

Hello, I'm sorry that I'm posting this under 'Issues', I don't know a better way for this. I can translate the site into Dutch if you want this. If so, please let me know in which way/format you want to have it.

Hi,

how do I publish the link in another language than English?

Thanks.

What about this site: http://tosdr.org/

Rating sites in concordance with the pros and cons for the users found in the TOS

About: “Terms of Service; Didn't Read” (short: ToS;DR) is a young project started in June 2012 to help fix the “biggest lie on the web”: almost no one really reads the terms of service we agree to all the time.

Some Services on http://prism-break.org have servers or offices or both in the united states. Maybe prism-break.org needs some rules and only allow services that completely comply with these rules. Tracing the locations of the servers would be a good start!

A friend of mine is developing an End-to-End fully encrypted social network/feed aggregator. It will launch later this year (Aug-Sep), but maybe worth to add:

http://blog.whispeer.de/en/

In contrast to diaspora all data will be encrypted as they leave the browser and only decrypted after the appear in the browser of persons having access to the right key.

Similar to Riseup.net

I would add the Xabber Android app (GPL and OTR-capable). I like it a lot.

Liberté Linux is a lightweight linux distribution for anonymity, with IMHO better security than Tails.

Your assertion that Ubuntu contains spyware is incorrect.

1. The shopping lens makes it clear Amazon results are queried and displayed
2. It can simply be removed if not desired.
3. It's not less spyware than visit Amazon and searching for products there

You could put a note in with Ubuntu to the effect that "Some people consider the shopping lens to be spyware", which would be much more accurate than what you currently have.

The aforementioned operative systems, even though are mostly composed by free software, do include or recommend non-free software, and ought to be tagged as such.

What about http://buddycloud.com/?

Like Tor the commercial JonDonym project offers software for anonymous surfing.

A patch is ready for download here: https://www.awxcnx.de/0001-Added-JonDonym-Software-for-anonymous-surfing.patch

(Seems I can not upload a patch here.)

Can you add on www.prism-break.org libre.fm, something like last.fm, but it is open source?

I found an issue about Startpage.

http://zw3crggtadila2sg.onion/imageboard/fbi/
"Startpage seems using user's IP address to serve Ads.
Search something on startpage -> Show Ads near user's IP, or show Ads in user's IP language
Search via Tor -> Show ads in English"

I can confirm this: maybe startpage is a bad selection.
(I didn't search anything to Startpage, except query string. No JS. No Cookie, What else? IP, of course.)

Title say enough :P

Linphone is a free and open source software, good alternative to Skype for voip call.

StatusNet is a free web platform for microblogging social networks (think of Twitter). identi.ca is the most popular installation of StatusNet, and the FSF and EFF recommend it extensively. I keep wondering why it hasn't been added.
