GlobaLeaks vs WhistleB

GlobaLeaks is free, open-source software for organizations setting up and maintaining a whistleblowing platform. It supports anonymous two-way messaging, file exchange, configurable reporting channels, labels, and case statuses. Administrators can create multi-step questionnaires to structure submissions and manage the system through a web interface; one installation can host multiple virtual whistleblowing sites. The software encrypts reports and communications with recipients, supports Tor, and states that it does not log IP addresses. Listed controls include TLS 1.3, two-factor authentication, AppArmor, network sandboxing, and PGP for email notifications and file downloads. The project says it has received independent security audits since 2011 and publishes the reports. GlobaLeaks documents Debian and Ubuntu Linux support, package updates, and Docker installation. The default file attachment limit is 30MB, though administrators can configure it higher. It lists support for more than 90 languages, right-to-left languages, and WCAG 2.2 accessibility recommendations. Its intended users include independent media, activists, public agencies, corporations, and other organizations.
