"A communiqué, also sometimes called a reportback or hit report, is a report on (typically) illegal direct actions that is shared online via counter-info sites or in print publications. Mainstream media may suppress reporting about certain tactics or the reason for choosing a target may be unclear, so submitting a communiqué is a way to share news, tactics, and political motivations directly. This guide describes how to securely submit an anonymous communiqué online."

"We ask our comrades “is it okay to use mobile phones?” and they respond “it depends on your threat model” before listing off scenarios that might endanger us. From these interactions, we have some idea of how a threat model is used, but how they're created is usually less clear. […] This zine covers the methods you can use to threat model on your own and how these explicit steps can make you and those around you more safe."

"Seit mehreren Jahren wird aber auch die DNA-Analyse wichtiger für politische Ermittlungsverfahren. Die Polizei sammelt immer mehr DNA-Spuren an Tatorten und von Verdächtigen. Mittlerweile können durch bessere Techniken bereits kleinste Spuren eine Aussagekraft über Menschen geben. Manchmal ist eine DNA-Spur vor Gericht entscheidend für eine Verurteilung. Das alles wirft Fragen auf, die wir mit dieser Comic-Story zumindest ansatzweise angehen wollen. Wo befindet sich überhaupt DNA und wie kommt sie dahin? Wie verhalten wir uns bei Aktionen oder bei drohender Repression? Wir wollen sicherer im Umgang mit DNA bei Aktionen und in Strafverfaren werden."

"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."

"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."

"It all starts with a first meeting: they are offered a job, money or accommodation in exchange for information. They are told that they will be able to speed up their administrative procedures, and that they will be slowed down if they refuse. Under pressure, this person thus put his finger in the gears and agreed to go to regular meetings with plainclothes cops in a park near the police station."

Queste pagine tenteranno di spiegare di che si tratta, perché magistrati e sbirri sono così interessati al nostro DNA, come intendono usarlo e come e perché, a nostro avviso, vale la pena opporsi alla schedatura del profilo genetico."

Spitzel sind leider eine uralte Begleiterscheinung von Herrschaft und Oppositionelle mussten sich zu allen Zeiten mit ihnen herumschlagen – aber selten waren sie auf Spitzel so gut vorbereitet, dass sie mit ihnen, bzw. einem Spitzelverdacht vernünftig und zielgerichtet umgehen konnten. Diese Broschüre vermittelt Erfahrungen, die verschiedene Gruppen an verschiedenen Orten in den letzten Jahren gemacht haben, und die Lehren, die daraus gezogen wurden."

A esto se suma que desde el mes de mayo se registran vuelos del drone Hermes 900 de la Fuerza Aérea sobre la ciudad de Temuco, pero ya desde el año 2014 comunidades mapuche vienen denunciando el uso de aeronaves no tripuladas para vigilar el Wallmapu.

"Die zumindest in politischen Kreisen naheliegende Frage “Wer ist ein Spitzel?”, wird hier an keiner Stelle explizit reflektiert. Wir wollen keine schematischen Spitzelenttarnungsrezepte liefern, wo selbstständiges Denken, Analysieren und Aufmerksamkeit jenseits der Paranoia gefordert sind. Wer dieses Buch gelesen hat, wird aber unserer Meinung und Hoffnung nach mit dieser Frage verant- wortlicher umgehen können als zuvor. Er oder sie werden wissen, was sie schon wussten, dass es nämlich Spitzel gibt, aber sie werden hinzugelernt haben, wann, wie und wo sie aufgetreten sind. Welche Methoden sie anwenden, mit welchen Legenden sie arbeiten und wie sie — zumindest manchmal — enttarnt werden konnten.

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."

"If a camera's location is known, and can be seen, and is stationary, a tripod/rifle scope/gun sight laser system can successfully zap it, even at distances greater than 100 meters. If a camera is roving, a golf scope/gun sight laser can intermittently zap it by hand with little effort."

"The keylogger was a proper bug, sent to my PC via internet through a virus, and it was capable of intercepting everything around my computer. It was sufficient for the computer to be connected to the internet and the miserable ones were able to hear all audio nearby (no video because the webcam has always been blocked out). So, because I have my PC in my bedroom they listened not only to radio off-line comments but even more… everything in fact!"

"Le mandat d'arrêt européen est fondé sur le principe de la reconnaissance mutuelle des décisions pénales entre les États membres de l'Union européenne. Il se base donc sur l'idée que tous les États de l'UE ont un système judiciaire respectable et juste, et à ce titre toute latitude leur est laissée pour juger selon leurs propres règles de droit. Selon ce principe, “lorsque l'autorité judiciaire d'un État membre demande la remise d'une personne, soit en vertu d'une condamnation définitive, soit parce que cette personne fait l'objet de poursuites pénales, sa décision doit être reconnue et exécutée automatiquement sur tout le territoire de l'Union.” Automatiquement.

In particular, it examines new systems being introduced to track, analyse and assess the potential security, immigration or public health risks posed by non-EU citizens who have to apply for either a short-stay visa or a travel authorisation – primarily the Visa Information System (VIS), which is being upgraded, and the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), which is currently under construction."

"I climbed up the fire escape onto the air conditioner and finally to the roof. I crept up behind the camera, grabbed it with both hands, twisted it from its bracket, and snipped the wire with my clippers. Having never done this before, I wasn't sure if some silent alarm was going off or if somebody watching a screen somewhere had just had their creep-fest interrupted, so I hastily shoved the camera and clippers in my bag and retreated to my bike."

"A burner phone is a single-use phone, unattached to your identity, which can theoretically be used to communicate anonymously in situations where communications may be monitored. Whether or not using a burner phone is itself a “best practice” is up for debate, but if you've made the choice to use one, there are several things you should keep in mind."

"В политически нестабильных странах очень часто прессуют журналистов, правозащитников и простых активистов. Порой приходят с обысками, изымают технику – и через определённое время, как правило, возвращают. Многие из-за паранойи вынуждены впоследствии её продавать и покупать новое железо, так как не исключают вживления в устройства аппаратных бекдоров. Особенно напрягает менять устройства, когда такая практика их изъятия – систематическая. Но к сожалению, это вынужденная и правильная мера. Хочу рассказать почему."

"Activists in Belarus are subject to unchecked government surveillance with no independent oversight. The government uses telecoms companies to facilitate surveillance by demanding direct, remote-control access to customer communications and data. Against the background of an already restrictive legal environment, this creates a chilling effect that forces activists out of public life."

"Правовая база, регулирующая порядок негласного наблюдения в Беларуси, характеризуется отсутствием соответствующих гарантий безопасности, и позволяет властям осуществлять широкомасштабную слежку практически без всякого обоснования. И хотя фактически любой человек может стать объектом слежки, почти невозможно узнать, ведётся ли за ним слежка сейчас, или она велась ранее. Подобная неопределённость оказывает сковывающий эффект на правозащитников, оппозиционных политиков, юристов и активистов, и ограничивает их возможности в реализации своих прав, в том числе права на неприкосновенность частной жизни, свободу объединений, свободу мирных собраний и свободу выражения мнений."

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."

Cette proposition de culture de la sécurité repose sur un recadrage – sur le passage de la peur à l'assurance, de l'aversion au risque au courage, de l'isolement aux liens, et de la suspicion à la confiance."

"The following precautions may seem extreme, but the technology of DNA matching has pushed us into a whole new era and the full impact has yet to be felt. During the 1990s, crime labs needed a sample that had hundreds of cells to be able to get a DNA print. Researchers have announced success with new techniques that require only a single cell as the sample. This technology will soon be in the crime labs if it's not already. With this advance, investigators can use a microscopic skin flake instead of needing a whole drop of blood or saliva. And humans are constantly shedding skin flakes."

Los investigadores han anunciado victoriosamente de haber obtenido hoy nuevas técnicas que requieren solo una sola célula como muestra.

Con este avance, los investigadores pueden usar una microscópica escama de piel en lugar de necesitar una gota entera de sangre o de saliva. Y los humanos pierden constantemente escamas de piel."

[…] Of course not all methods of taking out a drone need to involve literal firearms. […] Paintballs are a no-go. […] Airsoft guns and other plastic-pellet guns are worthless. […] Slingshots will likely work — again, assuming you can hit. […] Last but not least, you never want to underestimate the power of just throwing crap. A rock, a baseball, anything you can fling straight, accurate, and fast."

"We are making each other vulnerable. Photographers at demonstrations will soon outnumber demonstrators, those who are willing to take action. This is something we need to take a stand against. Cameras are tools of surveillance, and whether it is us or the enemy that wields them, we are participating in our own surveillance."

"Composed of autobiographical stories from the late 1970s to the early 2000s, this little book collects quite different situations where the authors had to erase — or at least make as unrecognizable as possible — their identity."

(es) Incognito: experiencias que desafían a la identificación
"Hemos decidido traducir este librillo y reeditarlo de su versión original [...] publicado en Italia durante septiembre de 2003. [...] Decidimos excluir un texto llamado "Deshacerse de la frustración" que narra la historia de un inmigrante ilegal en Europa. Esta elección se debe al carácter y objetivo que buscamos a la hora de sacar a la luz este proyecto como también a quienes esperamos llegar con esta edición. Por esta misma razón agregamos pequeños extractos de distintos compañeros que han expresado públicamente sus inquietudes y situación, esta vez: Paolo Perichetti, Juan aliste vega, Gabriela Curilem, Diego Ríos, Konstantina Karakatsani y Ricardo Palma Salamanca."

"It is never pleasant to think that one of the people you are working with, possibly very closely, who you go drinking with, who is sleeping with one of your friends, who seems so full of life and passion is actually trying to undermine everything you are doing. Unfortunately, if your group is challenging often very powerful industries or people with vested interests it is inevitable you will make enemies along the way."

"On a rarement rappelé le fait que la preuve par l'ADN n'est, tout simplement, pas infaillible. Il y a, à cela, une raison évidente. En venant contester la valeur technique de la preuve par l'ADN, on se place sur le même terrain que la science et la justice. On paraît admettre que, si la preuve par l'ADN pouvait être absolument fiable, il n'y aurait plus de raison de la contester. (…) Mais, d'un autre côté, peut-on déserter entièrement le terrain que se sont choisi la science et la justice pour se donner ainsi une apparence d'infaillibilité ? Refuser d'entrer dans ce débat, c'est paraître entériner le discours dominant sur l'irréfutabilité de la preuve ADN. Le but de ce texte est donc de porter l'attaque sur cet aspect des choses sans pour autant l'isoler d'une critique plus générale."

On y trouve la manière dont ils fonctionnent mais aussi comment savoir ce que l'État sait de nous et finalement comment lui demander de nous oublier. Le but n'est pas d'alimenter la paranoïa sur la police ou le sentiment de toute-puissance de l'État : oui, l'État a des moyens pour se protéger, mais visibiliser ces moyens et les connaître permet d'abord de mieux les combattre et y faire face."

"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."

Highlighted resource for topic Infiltrators and informants.
"This zine is about exploring possibilities for countering covert investigative efforts initiated or assisted by police. The objective of countering all aspects of state led intelligence gathering is not inherently to reveal under-cover activity but to create a safer and less penetrable network to operate out of. This zine offers suggestions on how to start making your networks safer and creating an active security culture within our everyday activities and organizing."

Cette brochure suggère des manières de rendre nos réseaux plus sûrs et de créer une culture de la sécurité active au sein de nos activités quotidiennes et de nos luttes."

"German authorities use a number of databases that collect data on political activists, even if they hadn't been sentenced or tried. Names are stored if people have had their identity checked, or if they have registered a demonstration under their name. Many are recorded under false designations. Such entries have raised concerns around them being used for further repression […]. Discriminatory and stigmatising labels have also been applied to people whose data is held by the police."

"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."

"People are starting to ask us about a recent tech report from Sambuddho's group about how an attacker with access to many routers around the Internet could gather the netflow logs from these routers and match up Tor flows. It's great to see more research on traffic correlation attacks, especially on attacks that don't need to see the whole flow on each side. But it's also important to realize that traffic correlation attacks are not a new area."

"Transparent Lives: Surveillance in Canada details nine key trends in the processing of personal information, trends that are evident throughout the world. They affect all Canadians, but few citizens are aware of how, when, for what purpose, or with what consequences their personal data are used by large organizations. Hence the title: Transparent Lives. This book demonstrates that our lives are open and visible to organizations as never before and that in every area of life — as citizens, consumers, workers, and travellers — this makes a difference."

Ces tendances touchent tous les Canadiens, mais peu d'entre eux savent comment, quand et à quelles fins leurs données personnelles sont utilisées par les grandes organisations et quelles sont les conséquences de cette utilisation. Voilà pourquoi cet ouvrage est intitulé Vivre à nu ; il démontre que nos vies sont plus que jamais ouvertes et visibles pour les organismes et que cette visibilité a de réels effets sur chaque sphère de notre vie, que nous soyons citoyens, consommateurs, travailleurs ou voyageurs."

"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."
Other languages
(de) What Is Security Culture?
"Eine Sicherheitskultur ist eine Reihe von Angewohnheiten, die von einer Gruppe geteilt wird. Eine Sicherheitskultur ist so entworfen, dass sie für Menschen, die vom Staat verfolgt werden könnten, das Risiko senkt geschnappt zu werden. Eine Sicherheitskultur zu haben, spart den Aufwand immer wieder bei Null anzufangen um Sicherheitsmaßnahmen auszuarbeiten. Sie kann helfen Paranoia entgegenzuwirken und in stressigen Situationen Panik zu vermeiden und sie kann euch Zeit im Knast ersparen."
(es) ¿Qué es la cultura de seguridad?
"La cultura de seguridad es un conjunto de costumbres compartidas por una comunidad, los miembros de la cual pueden ser objetivo del gobierno, diseñadas para minimizar el riesgo. Tener una cultura de la seguridad ahorra a todo el grupo la molestia de tener que elaborar medidas de seguridad continuamente desde cero, y puede ayudar a deshacerse de la paranoia y el pánico en situaciones estresantes—joder, podría incluso mantenerte fuera de prisión."
(fr) Cultures de la sécurité
"Une culture de la sécurité est une série d'habitudes, de coutumes partagées par une communauté dont les membres peuvent être impliqué·e·s dans des activités illégales, et dont la pratique minimise les risques encourus. Avoir mis en place une telle culture peut éviter aux membres du groupe de réinventer à chaque fois la roue en la matière, et contribue à limiter les sentiments de paranoïa et de panique dans des situations stressantes—ça peut aussi vous éviter d'aller en tôle."
(id) Apa Itu Budaya Keamanan?
"Budaya Keamanan (selanjutnya disebut Security Culture) adalah serangkaian tradisi yang dihidupi bersama oleh suatu komunitas yang anggotanya memiliki kemungkinan untuk dijadikan target oleh pemerintah dan kelompok fundamentalis, suatu tradisi yang didesain untuk meminimalisir resiko. Menerapkan security culture di dalam komunitas kita membuat kita dapat terhindar dari kerja-kerja menjenuhkan untuk menakar tingkat keamanan kita lagi dan lagi yang selalu saja dimulai dari awal. Budaya ini juga dapat membantu mengimbangi paranoia dan kepanikan di dalam situasi yang penuh tekanan—yoi men, budaya ini juga bisa jadi dapat membantumu terhindar dari lembabnya sel penjara."
(pt) O que é Cultura de Segurança?
"Uma cultura de segurança é um conjunto de hábitos compartilhados por uma comunidade cujos membros possam realizar atividades ilegais, cuja prática minimiza os riscos de tais atividades. Ter uma cultura de segurança poupa a todos o trabalho de ter que decidir medidas de segurança inúmeras vezes, desde o princípio, e pode ajudar a diminuir a paranoia e o pânico em situações de estresse — diabos, ela pode salvar você da prisão também."
