"In November 2021, three anarchists from Hamburg were notified that they had been put under surveillance by the Hamburg State Security Services of the Regional Criminal Police Office for two different periods of time. [...] In what follows, we want to try to give access to the information we have. Not only because we believe that this information can be useful - but also to experiment with a collective way of dealing with the turmoil of such attacks and intrusions."

"There are many guides out there that describe everything from the best ways of building timed incendiary devices, to dealing with DNA, to anti-forensic methods and how to secure digital information against search and seizure or government surveillance. Some of them are over forty years old, others are newer, some of them still hold up while others need updating. We thought it wouldn't hurt to have some suggestions, a brief "things to consider" article, that is reasonably up-to-date in regards to the enemy's methods. Some lessons and experiences combined with technical info but in a format that hopefully doesn't feel too rigid and authoritarian."
Other languages
(fr) Pour (essayer de) tenir les flics à distance
"Il existe de nombreux guides qui décrivent toutes sortes de choses, depuis les meilleurs moyens de fabriquer des engins incendiaires à retardement à la gestion des traces ADN, en passant par les techniques pour contrer la police scientifique et les manières de protéger des données numériques face aux perquisitions, aux saisies ou à la surveillance gouvernementale. Certains d'entre eux ont plus de quarante ans, d'autres sont plus récents, certains sont encore valables, d'autres doivent être mis à jour. Nous avons pensé que ça ne ferait pas de mal de rassembler quelques suggestions, un article pas trop long avec des "trucs à prendre en considération", qui soit raisonnablement en phase avec les méthodes de l'ennemi. Quelques leçons et expériences mélangées à des informations techniques, mais dans un format qui, nous l'espérons, ne soit pas trop rigide et autoritaire."
(sv) Att (försöka) hålla snuten på avstånd
"Det finns många guider därute som beskriver alltifrån hur du bäst bygger tidsin-ställda brandbomber till hur du hanterar DNA, anti-forensiska metoder och hur du bäst säkrar digital information mot husrannsakan eller statlig övervakning. Vissa av dem är över fyrtio år gamla, andra är nyare, vissa av dem håller än medan andra behöver uppdateras. Vi tänkte att det inte skulle skada med ett litet förslag, en liten att-tänka-på-artikel, som ligger någorlunda i fas med fiendens metoder. Lite lärdomar och erfarenheter blandat med ren teknisk info men i ett format som förhoppningsvis inte känns alltför stelt och auktoritärt."

Advice from CSRC: if you're interested in this resource, you might also be interested in Organizing Against the G20 in Toronto: Interview with Mandy Hiscocks.
"This zine explores the conspiracy case that came out of the G20 summit in Toronto, Canada in 2010. It examines the role anarchists played in organizing resistance to the G20 and the ways in which the state responded to this activity. It can help sharpen our understanding of how states use surveillance, infiltration, and the legal system itself to prevent people from acting. It's an important expansion on the topics raised in other more basic security culture zines."

"What are we feeling when we are keeping secrets? Militant, bonded, closed, awkward, confused, powerful, included, privileged, strong, paranoid, stressed, exhilarated, endangered, deceitful, needy? How we do deal with all these feelings, how do we live our lives around them? How do we keep vigilant over the myriad consequences of living that kind of life and the subconscious reasons behind the choices we make? [...] What are we keeping secret and when are we keeping secrets simply for the form and the pleasure of it rather than the necessity?"

"La charla está dividida en tres fases: antes, durante y después de una manifestación. Aunque está bastante orientado a una manifestación ilegal o tensa de por si, sería importante incorporar todo eso de forma más o menos automática para ir a cualquier tipo de marcha (al menos las cuestiones más básicas) como forma de integrarlo en nuestro día a día y porque a veces una manifestación legalizada y pacífica se convierte en algo distinto."

"I want to have the kinds of security practices that allow me to be open while knowing that I've assessed the risk I face and am taking smart steps to minimize it. Security culture should make openness more possible, not less. This proposal for security culture is based on reframing: on shifting our focus from fear to confidence, from risk aversion to courage, from isolation to connection, and from suspicion to trust."

"In the 80s, an anarchist who wanted, for example, to burn some building, developed his/her plan and at the same time looked to see if there were no listening devices in his/her house.

In the 2020s, we need to reconsider our strategy, intelligence gathering has improved and we must also take this into account."

"Телефоны и телефонная связь уже давно являются рядовыми вещами в нашей повседневной жизни. И как часто случается с рядовыми повседневными вещами — сейчас сотовые телефоны (использование стационарных телефонов в вашей революционной деятельности следует исключить полностью) встроены в плотную сеть контроля, окутывающую нас со всех сторон. Уже ни для кого не секрет, что телефон — это не только удобное средство срочной связи, но и прекрасная возможность для спецслужб следить за их владельцами. Об этом сказано уже много, и многие рядовые участники анархистского движения, очевидно, уже имеют свой набор правил использования телефонов для связи с товарищами и семьей. Тем не менее, за незнанием и неследованиям некоторым правилам их использования, телефоны продолжают быть немыми свидетелями нашей деятельности и врагами культуры безопасности."

"This short zine is a discussion of security culture that argues that respect for the security needs of our comrades is an essential aspect of any movement for liberation. It identifies a concept that the authors call "the invisible ground". They use this concept to describe an imagined distinction between "under-" and "above-" ground activities. Instead the authors argue that there is a constantly shifting terrain in which the state is redefining the boundaries of "acceptable" and "unacceptable" protest."

"A security culture is a set of customs shared by a community whose members may be targeted by the government, designed to minimize risk. Having a security culture in place saves everyone the trouble of having to work out safety measures over and over from scratch, and can help offset paranoia and panic in stressful situations - hell, it might keep you out of prison, too."

Eine Sicherheitskultur ist so entworfen, dass sie für Menschen, die vom Staat verfolgt werden könnten, das Risiko senkt geschnappt zu werden.
