The explosive situation in Egypt has mobilized many repression-hating individuals in the world to try to do something to support the country's citizens in their efforts to down the government and president Mubarak.

The last ones to join the fray is well-known security researcher Moxie Marlinspike and his team at Whisper Systems.

Last year, the company released RedPhone and TextSecure - free voice and text encryption software - for US Android users. The situation in Egypt motivated them to speed up the pace and make the applications available to Egyptians.

"If you have an Android cellphone registered to an Egyptian carrier, you can get a copy of RedPhone and TextSecure from this website. When you enter your mobile number in the form below, we'll send you a text message that will let you download the software to your phone," it says on their website.
