OnionShare is a cross-platform open source application that utilizes tor network to share files, host websites and chat in a secure and anonymous manner.[1] Users can share files peer-to-peer over a tor network for privacy and anonymity. Radically Open Security has audited the software.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
