A non-technical collection of resources on privacy applications and services, as well as best practices. I started this repo as a way to share some markdown files I was working on and passing around.
Nothing in this repo requires any knowledge of how to code, only a basic sense of how to install things on your device operating system. Less emphasis will be placed on the "crypto" space (Bitcoin, altcoins, dApps, etc) because that space is evolving too quickly for most newcomers to keep up. More emphasis however will be placed on tools and services that require no subscription fees, and are likely to be useful years from now.
Here are the documents (available as both markdown files and printer-friendly PDFs):
-
Applications & Services: This contains both a summary of why government surveillance and current data broker practices are worth defending against, and a list of tools/services that are free to use as well as easy to install.
-
Protocols & the Deep Web: Anything from Tor, to IPFS, to Freenet, and so on. This is an overview of secure alternatives to the "normal" internet. Mainstreaming deep web tools is a must for privacy advocates.
-
Personal Firewall Checklist: This contains a condensed summary of information from the previous two sections, organized with emphasis on how to put such knowledge into practice. The goal is to add one or more layers between exploitable information about yourself that can't be easily changed, and those who might seek to find it.
