OWL Cybersecurity Releases Tor-Pi-do Version 1.0.1 for Raspberry Pi 3


OWL Cybersecurity, a Denver-based cybersecurity company offering what it believes to be the world's largest commercially available database of dark net content, today announced the release of Tor-Pi-do Version 1.0.1 for Raspberry Pi 3. Tor-Pi-do Version 1.0.1 is a Linux distribution, also known as a distro, which enables the anonymous use of Tor with Mozilla (News - Alert) Firefox on the Raspberry Pi 3.

This Linux distro brings together tools that enable secure Tor use on the Raspberry Pi 3, the most recent version of a series of credit card-sized, single-board computers developed to promote the teaching of basic computer science and computing in poor or developing nations. The idea for Tor-Pi-do Version 1.0.1 arose when the OWL Cybersecurity team needed an easy way to provide IT support during a workshop in which they would be taking more than a dozen IT executives onto Tor, free software that enables anonymous communication over the internet.

"We are incredibly excited by the release of Tor-Pi-do," said Andrew Lewman, OWL Cybersecurity Board Member. "The Raspberry Pi is an ideal device to leverage in an educational setting, and Justin's work will allow a wider audience to explore the idea of internet anonymity."

Jusin Whitehead, OWL Cybersecurity Red Team lead, led the Tor-Pi-do project.



On Tor-Pi-do Version 1.0.1, DuckDuckGo is the default landing page for the browser, providing a starting point from which users can further explore Tor. Additionally, Wicd, an open-source network manager, is included to provide a simple interface from which users can connect to wired or wireless networks with a wide variety of settings.

This project is open-source, and OWL Cybersecurity encourages others to study, collaborate and improve upon the software.
