In this video I'm going to show you how to verify Tor Browser and install it on an Apple OS X computer.
If you have a windows computer then Please revise the previous lecture.
And if you have a Linux computer then skip this video and watch the next video.
Only watch this lecture if you want to install tor browser on an Apple OS X computer.
Otherwise just skip it.
You will not lose any information if you skip this video.
So right now I have the tour download page right here.
And as you can see I can download tour for any operating system Windows Apple and Linux.
And right now we want to install tor browser on an OS X computer.
So I'm gonna download the English version from the Apple OS X column one click here will download it
for you.
What I already have it downloaded here so I'm not going to click that.
And right now I can literally just double click it to install it.
But before doing that it's a very good idea to verify that the file we downloaded here did not get modified
as it was being downloaded.
Because when you download something from the internet it passes through a number of nodes in which it
can be modified so it can be modified by your Internet service provider.
It can be modified by your network administrator and it can even be modified by hackers who managed
to intercept the connection.
So in order to verify that this file did not get modified we're going to use a signature provided to
us by the Tor developers.
So as you can see on this page each download has a sig this sig stands for signature.
And this is a file that is unique to this download to the installer.
It was generated by the developers when they packaged the installer and it can be used to verify that
the installer did not get modified since it was packaged by the developers.
So to verify the installer the first step is to download its signature.
So like I said as you can see each file has its own signature.
I downloaded this file right here so I'm going to download this signature and here I'm going to right
click the signature file and I'm going to click on Steve link us to download it and I'm going to store
it in Tor in the same directory that I have here.
I'm going to click on Save and as you can see I have the signature file right here.
Now all we need to do is verify the signature and make sure that this signature corresponds to this
to this installer.
And if it does then that means this installer was not modified since this signature was made which means
that the installer was not modified since the publisher of Tor has published the file.
Now we'll need to use a special program to do this verification on OSX we can download this for free.
It's called GP G suit so it can click on download here to download it and I already have it downloaded
right here and to install this all you have to do is literally just double click it just like any other
application
we're going to double click the installer here we're going to continue keep the language at English.
We're going to agree we're going to click on install to install it.
I'm going to put my password
and that's it.
It's installed so I'm going to click on close and I'm going to move this to Trish.
This will just move the installer to Trish and I did this because I don't really need it anymore because
I've installed the program so I'm going to close this I won't need to use any of this.
This is just the program it got opened automatically and we're going to use the program that we just
installed from the command prompt to verify the signature and see if this installer was modified or
not.
As we downloaded it to do this first we need to add the key.
The third developers use to sign their installers.
We can get the key from their web page right here and I'm going to include this in the resources of
this lecture as well and as you can see if we just crawl to the top a little bit right here to the Mac
OSX you can see that they're given us the keys so this is basically their key and the command that we
need to use in order to add the key is this command right here.
So G is the name of the program that we just installed that I said we need to use in order to verify
the signature we're giving it a key server.
So this is a server where we are going to pull the key from and then we're using the receive key argument
to specify the key that we want to get.
So I'm going to copy all of this and I'm going to paste it here and give this a few seconds and might
actually take some time and it might even fail.
So just try it a few times because when you try it the servers might be under a lot of pressure and
they just will time out and they won't allow you to get the key.
But as you can see in my case I got it from the first try in a relatively short time.
So now the key is added.
And before we actually verify the file I want to make sure that I got the correct key and to do that
again I'm going to use the same command the same program that we just installed and I'm going to say
I want to see the fingerprint of the key that we just got.
So this is the key that we just got so I'm going to copy it and pasted and I actually didn't copy the
full key.
This is the full key.
So again I'm just going to copy it and run the same command and perfect.
I got the fingerprints.
So the fingerprint is right here and you want to check this against the fingerprint that you have on
their Web site.
So this is the fingerprint that they have.
And as you can see the two fingerprints March which means that we have the correct key added.
And now we can go ahead and try to verify the installer that we just downloaded which is this installer
so before we do this we need to navigate to the location where this is.
And as you can see it's in downloads t o r so right now if I do P.W. d to get my current working directory
you can see I am in users zoos and what I want to go is users zoos downloads t o r so I'm gonna do C
D to change my working directory and I want to go to downloads forward slash T O R.
So in your case if you just downloaded the files and your downloads you wouldn't need to go into the
T O R directory.
In my case because I have them in t t o r I'm gonna put t o r.
I'm going to hit enter and if I do p WD to get my current working directory you can see I'm in user
zoos downloads T O R and if I do Ellis to list all the files that I have in the current working directory
you'll see that I have two files the first one is the installer deter browser installer and the second
one is the signature that we can use to verify this installer now to verify the installer.
All we have to do is again use the same command.
P GP we're going gonna say that I want to verify and give it the name of the signature file.
This file right here and we have it right here so you can just copy and paste it and we're going to
hit enter and I typed BGP and actually should be CPG.
So another spelling mistake that I made here.
So I'll fix that.
I'm going to hit enter and perfect as you can see it's telling us that this is a good signature from
the top browser developers.
So what we did right now is we use the signature to validate that this file right here did not get modified
since the signature was created.
Like I said this is not a necessary step.
But if you want to make sure that you're using a clean version of the Tor browser then this is the best
way to do it.
So now that we are happy with the installer and know that it did not get modified we can just double
click it to install it just like you install any other application on your system.
So as you can see we have the third browser right here.
You just have to drag and drop it to the applications in here.
And once it's copied it will go into your applications where you can launch it from here.
So if I just click on it in here I'm going to trust it.
So I'm going to say open and this will first connect to the tour network and launch a normal web browser
for me.
But like I said anything you do on this web browser will go through the tour network and we'll talk
more about how to use this browser how to configure it and all of that in the next lectures.
But right now we managed to install a clean and unmodified version of detour browser.
