Resources

Searchable database of zines, texts and other media dealing with surveillance and operational security. The goal is to help anarchists and other rebels acquire a practical understanding of the surveillance threats they may face in their struggles and in their lives. Resources that are easy to understand and written by friends are preferred.

"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."

Highlighted resource for topic DNA.
"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."
