Anonymous Blogging Guide Updated (re Tor) and Security Links

fyi | 10.06.2009 12:26 | Indymedia | Technology

In case you missed it the guide to anonymous browing published by Global Voices was updated in March this year to take account of the changes in TOR.

 http://advocacy.globalvoicesonline.org/projects/guide/

The simple to understand guide is online as html or downloadable as a pdf.

With all the raids a going on where police seem to increasingly favour taking all computer equipment and the rise of online social networking use, maybe it's time people review their attitudes towards security. See links below...


An early draft of this guide was written by Ethan Zuckerman on April 13, 2005 and updated on October 1, 2006.

On August 8, 2007 Global Voices Advocacy published an updated and linkable, blogging-friendly, HTML version of the guide, along with a downloadable PDF file.

On March 10th, 2009, the guide has been updated once again so that all the tips are also compatible with Tor's recent update.

SECURITY LINKS:

RiseUp: Digital Security for Activists
It is all in our new, 60 page zine, which is full of daring tales of adventure and geeky narratives about how we can protect and advance our movement.

Exceelent and timely post that really needs very little effort from keyboards warriors IF you're using a non-NWO operating system.

Yes, good work but WHY are you still using eugenics-backed Windows OS's when you can use bomb-proof Linux???

There is a far better system now - check out www.ubuntu.com. Select a version that's already tried and tested, eg 8.10, download and burn the CD imagefile and follow install instructions. It really is just 'point and click' these days, even disk repartitioning - g'wan - escape from the corporate programming sucking you into their fantasy and making you work hard (and fearfully?) for your computing experience...

Ubuntu means Humanity in Matabele.

What you waiting for? Everything you can do in Windoze you can do much easier in Ubuntu, even video-editing and of course all the programmes are not only totally free and open source code, they download automagically through something called Synaptic Package Manager - no fuss, no flippin wizzzzards.

"Microsoft just sells you windows; Linux gives you the whole house"

www.ubuntu.com - great helpful community, too...
