🕵🌐👤🤫 ANONYMITY 🤫👤🌐🕵

"The primary threat facing someone trying to stay anonymous on the internet today is their own bad opsec, and that is precisely the same as it was in 2013. Tails and Tor reduced the number of ways anyone on my team could make dangerous mistakes, and so were crucial protections." (Edward Snowden)

Privacy vs. Anonymity

• Identity: the unique set of characteristics that can be used to identify a person and their unique physical body as themself and no one else.

• Pseudonymity: the near-anonymous state in which a person has a consistent identifier that is not their real name.

• Anonymity: the state of a person's identity being unknown to all other people than themself.

INTELLIGENCE STRATEGY

https://dni.gov/index.php/what-we-do/what-is-intelligence

Types of Intelligence

"The intelligence cycle is a process of collecting information and developing it into intelligence for use by IC customers. The steps in the process are direction, collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination. IC products can either be based on a single type of collection or “all-source,” that is, based upon all available types of collection. IC products also can be produced by one IC element or coordinated with other IC elements, and delivered to IC customers in various formats, including papers, digital media, briefings, maps, graphics, videos, and other distribution methods."

Six basic intelligence sources, or collection disciplines

SIGINT — Signals intelligence is derived from signal intercepts comprising -- however transmitted -- either individually or in combination: all communications intelligence (COMINT), electronic intelligence (ELINT) and foreign instrumentation signals intelligence (FISINT). The National Security Agency is responsible for collecting, processing, and reporting SIGINT. The National SIGINT Committee within NSA advises the Director, NSA, and the DNI on SIGINT policy issues and manages the SIGINT requirements system.

IMINT — Imagery Intelligence includes representations of objects reproduced electronically or by optical means on film, electronic display devices, or other media. Imagery can be derived from visual photography, radar sensors, and electro-optics. NGA is the manager for all imagery intelligence activities, both classified and unclassified, within the government, including requirements, collection, processing, exploitation, dissemination, archiving, and retrieval.

MASINT — Measurement and Signature Intelligence is information produced by quantitative and qualitative analysis of physical attributes of targets and events to characterize, locate, and identify them. MASINT exploits a variety of phenomenologies, from a variety of sensors and platforms, to support signature development and analysis, to perform technical analysis, and to detect, characterize, locate and identify targets and events. MASINT is derived from specialized, technically-derived measurements of physical phenomenon intrinsic to an object or event and it includes the use of quantitative signatures to interpret the data. The Director of DIA is both the “Intelligence Community Functional Manager for MASINT” and the “DOD MASINT Manager.” The National MASINT Office (NMO) manages and executes MASINT services of common concern and related activities for the D/DIA in response to National and Department of Defense requirements. If interested in learning more about MASINT, check out the NMO's primer here.

HUMINT — Human intelligence is derived from human sources. To the public, HUMINT remains synonymous with espionage and clandestine activities; however, most of HUMINT collection is performed by overt collectors such as strategic debriefers and military attaches. It is the oldest method for collecting information, and until the technical revolution of the mid- to late 20th century, it was the primary source of intelligence.

OSINT — Open-Source Intelligence is publicly available information appearing in print or electronic form including radio, television, newspapers, journals, the Internet, commercial databases, and videos, graphics, and drawings. While open-source collection responsibilities are broadly distributed through the IC, the major collectors are the DNI's Open Source Center (OSC) and the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC).

GEOINT — Geospatial Intelligence is the analysis and visual representation of security related activities on the earth. It is produced through an integration of imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information.

Telegram

Telegram Security Wiki

Be cautious of impersonators. Always verify Telegram bios as scammers may leave their own nickname blank. Beware of fake notifications about logins, phishing links, and fake bots that may DM you first. Check official Telegram news and tips channels.

“No regular Telegram chats (1:1 or group) are end-to-end encrypted. Only secret chats are E2E encrypted.”

Recommended Settings:

  • Phone Number → Who can see my phone number: Nobody
  • Phone Number → Who can find me by my number: My Contacts
  • Last Seen and Online → Who can see my timestamp: Nobody
  • Profile Photo → Who can see my profile photo: My Contacts
  • Calls → Who can call me: My Contacts (or Nobody)
  • Calls → Peer-to-peer: My Contacts (or Nobody to avoid exposing your IP)
  • When starting a call, verify the emojis at the top-right corner with the other person to prevent MitM attacks.
  • Forwarded Messages → Who can add a link to my account: My Contacts
  • Groups and Channels → Who can add me: My Contacts
  • Disable sticker loop animations. Animated stickers are a security risk.
  • Disable auto-downloading (Wi-Fi and cellular): Privacy and Security → Data Settings
  • Set up 2FA (cloud password)
  • Disable P2P calls and secret chats if you don’t want to expose your IP address.
  • Disable link and image previews in secret chats: Privacy and Security settings
  • Disable autoplay GIFs: Learn more
  • Never activate or DM any Telegram bot. Only use public chat bots via commands.
  • When opening PDFs (e.g., CVs), use Dangerzone or Google Drive's preview mode.
  • Monitor active sessions and terminate inactive ones. Be wary of session stealers.
  • If you receive a login alert, verify it through the official Telegram notification and news channels. Scammers may impersonate these to steal your account.
  • Check out this Telegram security guide.
  • Learn more about Telegram limitations: GitHub Project | Crowdin Translation

Discord

Basic Security Tips:

  • Use a randomly generated password. Use password managers like KeePassXC or BitWarden to generate and store your passwords. Learn more.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in User Settings. Discord supports apps like Aegis or Authy (disable multi-device for better security).
  • Configure privacy settings under Privacy and Safety. Choose whether to allow direct messages from server members. Note: some servers with Captcha or verification bots may require DMs to be open.
  • In Privacy and Safety, set who can add you as a friend. For higher security, you can restrict friend requests to only server members or no one.
  • Use a VPN. Alternatively, rent a VPS and set up your own open-source VPN server. Learn more.

Common Discord Scam Example:

  • A scammer selects a victim from a Discord channel.
  • The scammer creates a fake account impersonating the target.
  • He begins causing trouble in the channel, leading to a ban.
  • Using Discord Nitro tricks, the scammer fools moderators into banning the real target's account.
  • After the ban, the scammer creates a fake discussion image showing the moderators banning the target.
  • Pretending to be a moderator, the scammer contacts the target via DM, offering to help reverse the ban.
  • The scammer creates urgency and asks the target to prove innocence by joining a Discord call.
  • He instructs the target to open Discord Developer Tools and reveal their Discord token, giving full access to the account.
  • The scammer then takes control of the target’s account, potentially causing damage to the victim or their organization.

Trickery and Deception

Little traps or dirt tricks

There are many ways to circumvent the Law, in general, techniques involve coercion/power (intimidation, blackmailing, torture etc) and fraud/deception (deviation of purpose, "fortuitous meeting of evidence", manipulation of behavior, informal agreements, clandestinity, use of hidden means, paid informants, blackmailed informants, use of uninvolved third parties etc). In short, “all possible means”, as Machiavelli thought or Bentham thought.

If you are smart, knowing this techniques are implemented, you can use your acting skills like politicians do, you would be an "undercover agent of yourself" or do personal marketing.

*DNA-generated estimation and voice analysis would deserve further study.

• Interrogation: build rapport or offers an advantage to see if you to produce evidence against yourself,(e.g. talks about mild subjects, like dogs and cats; says "nothing will happen if..." to obtain an informal confession).
• Interrogation: intimidation or blackmailing tactics, to pressures you to produce evidence against yourself (e.g. says that "you don't want to collaborate").
• Interrogation: left you alone and your friend with a secret recording device (e.g. while you are at the police station giving a statement).
• Evidence laundry: evidence obtained through torture, evidence obtained through backdoors in computer systems etc (Wong Sun v. United States). The judge in the case is the cuckold of the story.
• Evidence obtained through backdoors in computer systems is praised as OSINT techniques.
• Evidence laundry: put GPS in your vehicle (GSM Chip, Apple AirTag etc).
• Evidence laundry: uses trakers or spywares (e. g. FirstMile, IMSI Cachers, Drones, Kyllo v. United States etc).
• Evidence laundry: unlawfull covert agent (e. g. fake cellmate, informer cellmate).
• Evidence laundry: use facial regonition cammeras spread in the city, in CCTV or in public transport.
• Evidence bias: having possession of the evidence helps you have control of the narrative (evidence out of context).
• Human sources exploitation: forces your lawyer/doctor/priest/relatives with the right to refuse testimony to violate ethical confidentiality.
• Human sources manipulation:conversation mediated by a covert agent in which there is a provocation that leads to self-incrimination.
• Human sources manipulation: event or accident simulation so that the target leaves a safe place or to find the connection of the others evidences.
• Human sources manipulation: acting as an agent provocateur (“baits”).
• Human sources manipulation: acting to manipulate the target's behavior so that it is further harmed or rather than to prevent harm to the victim.
• Human sources manipulation: acting to manipulate third-party opinions about the target (e.g. manipulating Google searches to highlight only negative points, manipulation of evidence out of context).
General - ARTT’s Psychological Manipulation Tactics

  1. Tapping into our natural bias to find connections by using conspiratorial reasoning
  2. Deliberately encouraging a response using “bait” by intentional trolling
  3. Gaining access to a trusted community by impersonation
  4. Manufacturing doubt by distorting the scientific consensus
  5. Evoking emotion and encouraging to think with feelings instead of reason
  6. Utilizing polarization to create or expand a gap between two groups
  7. Discrediting the opponent instead of addressing the argument

Decomposition Techniques (by Stasi)
"Systematic discrediting of public reputation, the reputation and prestige on the basis interconnected true, verifiable, and discrediting, and false, credible, non-rebuttable, and thus also discrediting information, systematic organization of professional and societal failures to undermine the confidence of individuals, generating [...] Doubt the personal perspective, creating mistrust and mutual suspicion within groups [...]; local and temporal. Prevent or limit the mutual relations of the members of a group [...] [...] for example, by assigning locals to remote jobs"

WeCopwatch

• "We Need More Copwatchers, Not Cops With Cameras" - https://wecopwatch.org
• Having possession of the evidence helps you have control of the narrative.
• Your evidence loses power when you broadcast it live and allow the police to write their use of force reports around your video. Film the Police for the Victim.
• We suggest that you let the officers get their story together publicly. Your video will contradict their testimony, and it is here that you have the power to helpful.

REFLECTIONS ON RESISTANCE

👷🛠️UNDER CONSTRUCTION🚧🏗
Considerations

Considerations - Notebooks

• "Nothing is political, everything is politicizable ".
• UN doesn't work as well as the Supreme Court.
• The technical apparatuses for "social control " that a "democratic " government can use for legitimate purposes are easily co-opted by "authoritarian " efforts and practices for the political persecution of "detractors " or "dissenters ". Could it be that after taking over the technical or power apparatus for "social control " there would be a point of no return (A.I.)? Would it be like the thesis of mutual destruction of atomic power?
• Marginalized sectors cannot attack each other, exploit each other, but terrorize the powerful, the owners of state institutions, of "order "/control.
• To marginalized sectors reduce the use of violence, it is necessary to modify the economic model to a certain extent.
• To be one step ahead, only with a lot of money or military (power) from the state. Resistance will always be asymmetric. People in high positions do not want to lose the benefits of belonging to the system.
• As a rule, groups are stronger than individuals. However, there are dissidents in high positions. People in high positions do not want to lose the benefits of belonging to the system, they are entangled in the web of power.
• Organic intellectuality, institutions, economic groups and religiuous groups.
• Criminology concepts, policy of "zero tolerance ", "war on drugs/terrorism ", "enemy ".
• Analysis of fallacious speeches.
• Colonialist and neo-colonialist objectives, ‘unquestionable inferiority’, biologically "inferior ", Christian message, non-chistian, degree of ‘civilisation’, "mental illness ".

Brainstorm

Brainstorm: strategy, techniques and skills

Strategy
• Foucault perspective: • Basic strategic ambiguity/mimicry, copy the oppressor's speech.
• Analysis of fallacious speeches justified on the basis of high moral values/democracy/terrorism/fear.
• It is necessary to create a form of political innovation, political creation and political experimentation outside the large political parties, and outside the normal or common program. Is it possible to do politics without being a politician? Is revolution desirable? By whom? Is he who rebels right?
• The possibility of building a new law, supported by a post-identity perspective and able to foster practices of resistance to heteronormalizing and excluding technologies.
• To resist or destabilise government from an immanent vantage point and thus seeks to open "govern­mental " arrangement to new creative possibilities. To produce something that doesn’t exist yet -- without being able to know what it will be.
• We need to facilitate the conditions of power to create a society organized in defense of its rights.
• Gradually shift the limit of social exclusion, increasing the power of excluded agents (minorities) by creating marginal spaces in which they can articulate themselves.
• To be critical is to pose questions of the government of conduct, principles, objectives and methods using the available political resources and repertoire furnished by government itself, a kind of refractory turning of government against itself from within the discursive and political field of possibilities opened up by government.
• BUT force/power decides between equal rights. The projects that seek to gain political traction collapes themselves into the idiom of the "human rights ".
• Three types of social struggles: those that confront forms of domination (ethnic, social and religious); those that contest the forms of exploitation that separate individuals from what they produce; and the struggles against subjection, against forms of subjectivation and submission, which face everything that connects the individual to himself and subjects him to others.
• We don't have politicians talking to the people; everything is through the media. Politicians are tied to the mass media, out of opportunism or fear, they adopt the media's unique discourse (because of votes, power!).
• Voter-oriented policies based on "governing by fear of crime ".
• Analysis of forms of resistance by dominated groups using means that do not disturb their internal unity.
• Deconstruct Carl Schmitt, deconstruct the image of the enemy. Deconstruct the concrete tangible characteristics that make it a suitable target for hatred and struggle. Nothing is political, everything is politicizable !
• Crime is fundamental, as it is the nucleus through which the process of panoptization of society and, therefore, the exercise of power/control by the government becomes possible. The feeling of “threat” must be constant so that control can be exercised to “combat” such delinquency.
• For the presence of the police or army in society to be seen as necessary and even desired, there must be legitimization for this, which will occur through fear.
• Crime is also based on capitalism, the "war on drugs " fuels a market for weapons, vehicles, cameras, personnel, private prisions.

• We the people have a legitimate interest in preserving our ability to investigate and prosecute the distribution of government hacking tools that creates the market and fuels the demand for creating more panoptization and manipulating society (surveillance capitalism, technocolonilism, technofeudalism). The government's investigative efforts would be severely hampered if a copy of hacking tools got into the wrong hands.
• "The existence of rights against the Government would be jeopardized if the Government were able to defeat such a right by appealing to the right of a democratic majority to work its will. A right against the Government must be a right to do something even when the majority thinks it would be wrong to do it, and when the majority would be worse off for having it done. If we now say that society has a right to do whatever is in the general benefit, or the right to preserve whatever sort of environment the majority wishes to live in, and we mean that these are the sort of rights that provide justification for overruling any rights against the Government that may conflict, then we have annihilated the later rights. " (Ronald Dworkin, Taking Rights Seriously)

Mobsters and Drug Traffickers
Subversion, Mimicry, and Criminality
  • Criminal populism

Protection from Totalitarian and Police States

Differences Between Totalitarian and Police States

Aspect Totalitarian State Police State
Definition A political system where the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever feasible. A political system characterized by the government's pervasive use of police power to control the populace, often with extensive surveillance and repression.
Ideology Often has a guiding ideology (e.g., communism, fascism) that seeks to transform society according to specific principles. May lack a coherent ideology, focusing instead on maintaining order and the power of the ruling regime.
Control Mechanisms Uses propaganda, censorship, mass surveillance, and political repression to enforce its ideology and maintain control. Relies heavily on police and security forces to monitor and suppress dissent, often without concern for legality or civil rights.
Leadership Typically led by a single party or leader with absolute power and authority. Can be led by a single ruler or a group, but the focus is on the enforcement of laws and orders by police and security forces.
Public Life Seeks to control nearly every aspect of public and private life, including politics, education, and social relationships. Primarily concerned with public order and political stability, allowing some private autonomy as long as it doesn't threaten the state.
Opposition Eliminates all opposition through extreme measures, including purges, forced labor camps, and executions. Suppresses opposition primarily through police actions, arrests, and intimidation.
Examples Nazi Germany, Soviet Union under Stalin, North Korea. East Germany (GDR), modern-day Belarus, China.

General Strategies for Protection from Totalitarian and Police States

  • Maintain a Low Profile:
    • Avoid drawing attention to yourself or your activities.
    • Do not openly criticize the government or its officials.
    • Dress and behave in ways that do not attract undue attention.
    • Avoid Bragging: don’t boast about your activities, connections, or capabilities, as this can draw unwanted attention.
  • Stay Informed:
    • Listen to news from foreign radio stations or other underground sources to stay informed about political developments and potential threats.
    • Share information discreetly with trusted friends and family.
    • Stay Informed about Surveillance Practices: educate yourself about common surveillance techniques used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies, so you can take appropriate precautions to protect your privacy.
  • Build Trusted Networks:
    • Develop and maintain a close-knit group of trusted friends and family.
    • Form or join underground resistance groups if necessary.
    • Exercise Caution with Trust: be wary of trusting anyone, and never allow yourself to be blackmailed.
  • Utilize Community Support:
    • Engage in mutual aid with trusted community members.
    • Support and be supported by others facing similar threats.
    • Avoid nosy neighbors.
    • Keep Personal and Professional Separate: Don't mix your personal life with any potentially sensitive or illegal activities.
  • Create and Use Safe Spaces:
    • Establish safe meeting places where you can discuss sensitive matters.
    • Use homes of trusted friends or remote locations to avoid surveillance.
    • Operate Discreetly: avoid conducting any sensitive activities from your home or easily traceable locations.
  • Secure Communication:
    • Use coded language or signals to communicate sensitive information.
    • Write letters using invisible ink or steganography.
    • Use face-to-face communication in secluded areas to avoid interception.
    • Be Mindful of Metadata: understand that even seemingly harmless metadata (e.g., location data, timestamps) can be used to track your activities, so be cautious about what information you share and how it can be interpreted.
    • Maintain OpSec: operational Security is crucial; don't reveal your plans, strategies, or tactics.
  • Travel Discreetly:
    • Avoid traveling frequently or taking predictable routes.
    • Use aliases and travel documents that do not reveal your true identity.
    • Stay Silent: avoid discussing sensitive information, especially online or in public.
  • Financial Caution:
    • Avoid transactions that could be traced or arouse suspicion.
    • Use cash and barter systems rather than banks or official financial channels.
  • Document Security:
    • Keep important documents hidden or disguised.
    • Destroy incriminating evidence that could be used against you or others.
    • Use false identities or forged documents when necessary.
    • Keep Operational Details Confidential: never disclose specific details about your operations or plans to anyone.
  • Document and Share Truths Discreetly:
    • Keep a record of injustices and human rights abuses.
    • Share these records with trusted sources, both locally and internationally, when safe to do so.
  • Prepare for Searches:
    • Keep your home clean of any incriminating materials.
    • Have hiding places for important documents or objects.
    • Be prepared to answer questions convincingly if interrogated.
  • Plan Escape Routes:
    • Have a plan for quickly leaving your home or country if necessary.
    • Keep emergency supplies and documents ready for a quick departure.
  • Stay Physically and Mentally Fit:
    • Maintain your health to endure physical and mental stress.
    • Practice stress-relief techniques and maintain a positive mindset.
  • Learn Self-Defense and Survival Skills:
    • Acquire basic self-defense skills to protect yourself physically.
    • Learn survival skills in case you need to flee or live off the grid.
  • Observe and Adapt:
    • Stay alert to changes in the political environment and adapt accordingly.
    • Learn from the experiences of others who have successfully evaded state scrutiny.
    • Cultivate Safe Habits: practice cautious behaviors online and offline to minimize risks.
  • Know Your Rights:
    • Familiarize yourself with your legal rights and protections regarding surveillance and privacy (search warrant rules), so you can assert them if necessary.
