The rebranding of the web browser, xB Browser™, formerly known as Torpark, has been announced recently by XeroBank. The modified version of Mozilla Firefox, xB Browser has already gained a wildly popular reputation, showed by the free download of more than 4 million copies since its release in May. The browser can also be downloaded to a USB stick and plugged into any Internet terminal, regardless of location, making it fully portable.

    XeroBank Administrator, Steve Topletz, stated: "We rebranded Torrify to XeroBank to eliminate visitor confusion between Torrify and the Tor Project. Our friends and colleagues at the Tor Project maintain the maze of virtual circuits that assures clients of privacy when they share information over public networks. Before the rebranding and upgrade, Torpark garnered worldwide acclaim with publication in over 120 news sources, including the BBC, PC Magazine, PC World, and the prestigious German computing magazine, Heise."

    The browser works like this: it launches a Tor circuit connection, which practically anonymizes the connection between users and websites by bouncing web traffic across the Tor network. The browser also modifies the unique IP address of a user's computer every few minutes, thereby masking the requesting source and frustrating eavesdropping attempts. Furthermore, the Tor network encrypts information from the user's computer. This prevents the Internet service provider (ISP) from reading information that passes through the xB Browser.The browser, which is preconfigured and requires no technical knowledge, bypasses firewalls and website censorship, and guards against a common form of Internet surveillance known as traffic analysis. It also clears browsing histories and deletes cookies when the browser is closed.

    The company develops in turn-key solutions for Internet privacy. "All XeroBank software products are free, pre-configured, open source, and USB portable," says Topletz, "because we believe privacy and security shouldn't have to be complicated or inconvenient." Software and services include the XeroBank anonymizing browser, XeroBank e-mail client, and high-speed, anonymous Internet access. All XeroBank software is ready pre-configured for XeroBank clients to access their services. XeroBank is scheduled to release xB Machine today at DefCon in Las Vegas. xB Machine is a safe, anonymous, virtual operating system that is small enough to fit on a USB drive. It brings a secure computing environment that anonymizes all internet activity, and has portable encrypted file storage. xB Machine is compatible with virtually any computer running Windows, Mac, or Linux.
