"Surveillance Countermeasures is a 2019 book on physical surveillance and the mitigations one can take to protect against it, written by former U.S. spy Aden C. Magee. It extensively covers topics such as the principles and tactics of surveillance operations, surveillance detection, and anti-surveillance."

"Ce texte recense soixante fichiers actifs d'identification administrative, fichiers de police, fichiers de justice et fichiers de renseignement, en somme tous les outils dont l'État s'est doté pour le contrôle des populations. 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."

"This is a practical zine, but we'll take (brief) detours through theory. First, we'll talk about how cops work with DNA. Then we'll offer ideas for how to make their job as difficult as possible, both by giving tips to develop your own security protocols and by proposing a protocol that we consider appropriate. At the end, we've added more theoretical appendices on the biology of DNA and on some technical aspects of its use by scientists."

"C'est une brochure à vocation pratique, mais on va faire des détours (pas trop longs) par des trucs théoriques. On va d'abord parler de comment les keufs travaillent avec l'ADN. Ensuite on va donner des pistes sur comment rendre leur taf le plus difficile possible, aussi bien en donnant des clefs pour se faire ses propres protocoles de sécurité qu'en proposant un protocole qui nous parait pertinent. À la fin, on a rajouté des annexes plus théoriques sur la biologie de l'ADN et sur certains aspects techniques de son utilisation par les keufs scientifiques."

"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."

"What exactly does it take to not get caught carrying out heavy actions like arson? […] For anyone who wants to carry out actions like this, but isn’t doing so yet, I’ve sketched an outline of the steps I think are necessary to sustain hard-hitting attacks on domination."

"This book appears at a time in which revolutionary comrades are confronted with the problem of doing actions which could leave traces. As a result, it is important to know how such traces can be found, how they can be used as evidence, how to learn to avoid leaving them."

"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."

"Cars, especially newer vehicles with built-in computer systems, know everything about their users and, consequentially, the people around them. Tesla is taking this a step further, turning cars into mobile, high-definition video surveillance systems. […] What should anarchists take away from this? How can we continue to attack this panoptic hellscape and get away with it?"

Comment continuer à attaquer cet enfer panoptique sans se faire attraper ?"

"This zine is written by anarchists for people who face legal investigation or repression in the United States. However, it may be helpful for anyone who wants to reduce the data that cops or companies have about them. It should also be considered a 101-level document; the tips in this guide are the most basic steps you can take to protect yourself and your data."

"In our experience, most of us in North America aren't in the habit of thinking very much about DNA traces. […] [Y]ou can be pretty certain that whenever arson is involved, a DNA forensics team will be involved too. […] We want to briefly summarize some practical considerations. By arming ourselves with some preparation and an accurate understanding of how DNA is transferred, it is possible to drastically limit the amount of DNA we leave behind."

Οπλίζοντας τους εαυτούς μας με λίγη προετοιμασία και μια ακριβή κατανόηση του τρόπου με τον οποίο μεταφέρεται το DNA, είναι δυνατό να περιοριστεί δραστικά η ποσότητα του DNA που αφήνουμε πίσω."

[...] On voudrait résumer ici quelques considérations d'ordre pratique. En se préparant et en comprenant bien comment l'ADN est transféré, il est possible de limiter considérablement la quantité d'ADN qu'on laisse derrière soi."
