"THC - The Hacker Chat is the most secure messaging platform ever built. Every message is encrypted with PGP — the same encryption trusted by journalists and whistleblowers for 30 years. But we didn't stop there. Your connection travels through TLS 1.3, OpenVPN, and the TOR network — three layers of military-grade tunnel encryption before your message even leaves your network. And your encryption keys? Locked in hardware security chips that even forensic tools cannot penetrate. This isn't just encrypted messaging. This is communications infrastructure built for a world where privacy is under attack."
WhatsApp:
- Owned by Meta (Facebook)
- Direct connection to WhatsApp servers — your IP address exposed
- Collects metadata: who you talk to, when, how often, your location
- Backs up messages to Google Drive/iCloud — UNENCRYPTED
- No VPN or TOR integration
- Single point of failure in transport security
Telegram:
- NOT end-to-end encrypted by default
- Direct connection exposes your IP and location
- Russian-founded, Dubai-based — unclear jurisdiction
- Custom MTProto protocol — not industry standard
- No transport layer protection beyond basic TLS
Signal:
- Good encryption, BUT...
- Direct connection to Signal servers — IP exposed
- No VPN or TOR built-in
- Encryption keys stored in software
- Single transport layer (TLS only)
iMessage:
- Direct Apple connection — they see your IP
- iCloud backup = Apple has your keys
- Only works Apple-to-Apple
- No anonymity features

✅ We cannot read your messages — PGP encryption, we don't have keys
✅ We cannot see your IP — TOR anonymity, we only see exit nodes
✅ We cannot trace your location — multi-hop routing hides you
✅ We cannot comply with impossible requests — we don't have the data
✅ We use only proven technology — no experimental cryptography
✅ We layer our defenses — if one fails, others protect you
"It's not overkill — it's defense in depth. Each layer serves a different purpose:
- TLS 1.3 secures the connection itself
- OpenVPN creates an encrypted tunnel your ISP cannot inspect
- TOR hides your IP address and adds anonymity
If one layer is ever compromised, the others still protect you. It's like having a seatbelt, airbags, AND crumple zones. Any one might save your life, but together they're much more effective."
"Modern TOR with our optimized configuration adds minimal latency for text messages. We prioritize the fastest TOR circuits and maintain persistent connections. For most users, the slight delay is imperceptible — and the anonymity benefit is enormous. You're trading milliseconds for complete IP anonymity."
"It's not about hiding — it's about protection. You lock your car even when there's nothing valuable inside. You close the bathroom door even though you're doing nothing wrong. Privacy is a right, not an admission of guilt.
More practically: today's innocent conversation could be tomorrow's leaked document. Business strategies, personal relationships, health discussions — they all deserve protection. THC - The Hacker Chat ensures your private conversations stay private."
"Three independent protections ensure we can't:
PGP encryption: Messages encrypted with recipient's key before leaving your device. We never have the private keys.
TOR anonymity: We don't even know your real IP address. We can't connect messages to identities.
Architecture: Our servers only store encrypted blobs. Even if someone breaks into our servers, they get meaningless encrypted data.
This isn't a policy — it's mathematics and architecture. We literally cannot do what we don't have the capability to do."
"Even if TOR were somehow compromised, you're still protected by:
- PGP encryption (messages still unreadable)
- OpenVPN tunnel (traffic still encrypted)
- TLS 1.3 (transport still secure)
- Hardware-backed keys (local data still protected)
That's why we use five layers. An attacker would need to break ALL of them simultaneously. That's not just unlikely — it's practically impossible."
"Absolutely. Every technology we use is legal:
- PGP: Legal since 1996 when US export restrictions were lifted
- TOR: Legal, funded partly by US government for democracy abroad
- VPN: Legal and used by every corporation
- TLS: The foundation of internet commerce
Privacy is a right, and encryption is protected speech. Banks use these same technologies. So do hospitals, law firms, and governments."

|---|---|---|
| 1 | TOR Network | IP anonymity, location hiding, traffic analysis resistance |
| 2 | OpenVPN | Encrypted tunnel, ISP blindness, network bypass |
| 3 | TLS 1.3 | Transport security, perfect forward secrecy |
| 4 | PGP Encryption | Message confidentiality, 30 years proven |
| 5 | Hardware Security | Key protection, forensic resistance |
- ✅ Messages encrypted with PGP — only recipient can read
- ✅ Connection anonymized through TOR — your IP hidden
- ✅ Traffic tunneled through VPN — your ISP sees nothing
- ✅ Transport secured with TLS 1.3 — latest standard
- ✅ Keys protected by hardware — forensic tools defeated
- Executives requiring confidential communications
