If you have news to report, ideas to share, dislike moderation, and prefer to be anonymous, then read on.

ZeroBB is based on ZeroBin which is an open-source online paste tool where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data. The exception is when you make a new post to the public forum by having “Forum index” checked, the web server will know the key for that post since it is public. The data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser using 256 bits AES.

ZeroBB is running as a Tor hidden service v3 which means you have complete end-to-end encryption, no HTTPS required (regardless what your browser states). The Tor network also provides decent anonymity, it’s not perfect, but it has great potential.

The Tor onion URL is long, but it serves a purpose as it also doubles as a key to access the site which in my opinion makes it more secure than DNS. Try to avoid using proxy services to access Tor as it compromises the security (MITM), also avoid services making the URL shorter if you want to keep the post secret. For more info about the Tor network, or to download the Tor browser, check the project site here: https://www.torproject.org/

• Search engines can’t index³ the content.
• Lean and mean minimalistic design.
• Modified to work over the Tor network.

¹ In order to delete a post and all comments associated with it the “Delete link” URL (token) is required which is given after submitting a new post.

There is no specific direction what this forum is about, personally I like hacking related stuff, programming, reversing electronics and software, and being able share info without being tracked or censored. The forum/board functionality is bare minimum at the moment, pretty far from ideal, but it is work in progress. Let me know if you find any bugs, lots of code is in flux due to active development so expect some downtime.
