# DarkShare # OnionShare
A program to securely share a file of any size with someone, designed to be run in Tails. It works by starting a web server, making it accessible as a Tor hidden service, and making it require a password to access and download the file. It doesn't require setting up a server on the internet somewhere or using a third party filesharing service. It all just runs inside Tails and uses the Tor network.

## Quick Start
Boot to Tails, setting an administrator password. Clone this repository. Install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python-flask
Then run onionshare.py, and pass it a filename. It will look something like this:
amnesia@amnesia:~/Persistent/code/onionshare$ sudo ./onionshare.py ~/Persistent/file_to_send.gpg
[sudo] password for amnesia:

Securely send the URL, username, and password to the person you are sending the file to (like by using Jabber and OTR). When they load the website, they will be connecting directly to your computer. They'll need the username and password to authenticate. You can watch all the web requests that are getting made.
Once you confirm that they have downloaded the file you're sending (ask them), press Ctrl-C to shut down the server and clean up your Tails setup.
