Since the Priate Browser has only been released for Windows so far, some people who don't use Windows have been wondering what's in it. I put a copy of Windows XP on a virtual machine to examine the contents of the Pirate Browser package.
I used the microsoft utility FCIV to compare the md5 and sha1 sums of the contents of the App folder for the Pirate Browser 0.6b and the Tor Browser Bundle 2.3.25-12(en-US). Here are my results: Tor Browser\App\libeay32.dll PirateBrowser 0.6b\App\libeay32.dll ---- match Tor Browser\App\libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll PirateBrowser 0.6b\App\libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll ---- match Tor Browser\App\libssp-0.dll PirateBrowser 0.6b\App\libssp-0.dll ---- match Tor Browser\App\mingwm10.dll PirateBrowser 0.6b\App\mingwm10.dll ---- match Tor Browser\App\QtCore4.dll PirateBrowser 0.6b\App\QtCore4.dll ---- match Tor Browser\App\QtGui4.dll PirateBrowser 0.6b\App\QtGUi4.dll ---- match Tor Browser\App\QtNetwork4.dll PirateBrowser 0.6b\App\QtNetwork4.dll ---- match Tor Browser\App\QtXml4.dll PirateBrowser 0.6b\App\QtXml4.dll ---- match Tor Browser\App\ssleay32.dll PirateBrowser 0.6b\App\ssleay32.dll ---- match Tor Browser\App\tor.exe PirateBrowser 0.6b\App\tor.exe ---- match Tor Browser\App\vidalia.exe PirateBrowser 0.6b\App\vidalia.exe ---- match >From this I conclude that the Pirate Browser includes unmodified versions of Tor 0.2.3.25 and Vidalia 0.2.20 I also compared the md5 and sha1 sums of 'Start Tor Browser.exe' and 'Start PirateBrowser.exe'. They do not match. The Pirate Browser does not include the Docs folder that Tor Browser Bundle has. The torrc file looks like this: """Begin torrc file""" # If non-zero, try to write to disk less frequently than we would otherwise. AvoidDiskWrites 1 # Store working data, state, keys, and caches here. DataDirectory .\Data\Tor GeoIPFile .\Data\Tor\geoip # Where to send logging mesages.
