AnarSec: Tech Guides for Anarchists

AnarSec is a new resource designed to help anarchists navigate the hostile terrain of technology — defensive guides for digital security and anonymity, as well as offensive guides for hacking. All guides are available in booklet format for printing and will be kept up to date.

As anarchists, we must defend ourselves against police and intelligence agencies that conduct targeted digital surveillance for the purposes of incrimination and network mapping. With the defensive series, our goal is to obscure the State’s visibility into our lives and projects. Our recommendations are intended for all anarchists, and they are accompanied by guides to put the advice into practice.

With the upcoming offensive series, we hope to contribute to the practice of hacking the State and capital. Astute readers may notice that the art featured on our homepage and booklets is taken from communiqués detailing how anarchists robbed a bank (Phineas Fisher) and destroyed police servers (AntiSec) using only a keyboard.

The defensive series currently includes:

Tails

Tails for Anarchists

Tails Best Practices

Qubes OS

Qubes OS for Anarchists

Phones

Kill the Cop in Your Pocket

GrapheneOS for Anarchists

General

Linux Essentials

Remove Identifying Metadata From Files

Encrypted Messaging for Anarchists

A word that is not in the genitive or plural should not end in a single sibilant.

‘Z’ is used for the voiced sibilant in all instances except the plural

A word should not end in an ‘I’

Two ‘I’ cannot follow each other

Harmonisation with English

Concerning the use of digraphs verses silent-E, where a digraph is used in English so too should it be in Scots and silent-E likewise.

So,

English Dream, Soon, Please, Week, Weak, Great Scots Dreem, Suin, Pleeze*, Week, Week**, Greet NOT Dreme, Slepe, Plize, Weke, Weke, Grete

*see General Spelling Rule 2. & see **3.

Declension

Declension does not alter terminal ends of words (hence day -> days dais). Nouns are declined for Number (Single & Plural) and Case (Nominative & Genitive).

Conjugation

conjugation does alter terminal ends of words (hence say -> said, sain)

Anon I will answer your ask properly later but: steamos is arch based, so reload into desktop mode, download the unofficial patch and install as you would on a desktop linux system (you can install protontricks from the app library and do it that way, it's super easy) then reload into steam mode and launch from there! The latest version of the patch (11.5) supposedly has issues on steam deck but I installed 11.4 and it works perfectly!

My Take on Generative "AI"*

Recently I was doing some research into a pentesting technique and I stumbled across a blog supposedly containing a tutorial for the particular tool I was looking into. As I read through this "guide" it started to become clear that it was completely generated via an LLM such as ChatGPT - it had the stilted writing style distinctive of "AI" generated text. What's worse is that even the "screenshots" that the piece featured were generated with an "AI" - something like DALLE or whatever it's called. You'll understand immediately why I could recognise this was generated if you've ever seen one of these image generators try to write text, as it can't actually write text well. The screenshots were garbled. They were total gibberish!

(In my shock I forgot to take a screenshot or even take a copy of the site URL, so you will have to use your imagination as to how the so-called "tutorial" in the previous paragraph looked)

The entire "guide" was useless. None of the text was insightful enough to be of any use, and the images were of nothing.

This made me want to make something clear: none of my tutorials have been, or ever will be, generated by an LLM. None of the images I use have been generated by an image model. My original intention when creating this blog was to strengthen the skills I'm learning by writing about it. I carry out the techniques I teach and any screenshots are taken by me during this process. Truth be told I hardly even use autocorrect while writing (I do try to proofread and correct any errors but I'm sure some slip through - sorry!)

Someone somewhere said this more succinctly than me so to paraphrase:

"Why should I take the time to read this, if someone hasn't taken the time to write it?"

I may one day write some tutorials on hacking LLMs and jailbreaking them, but the actually body of my work is still written by me. Otherwise I don't see the point in writing this. My writing skill isn't the best but I do what I do because I enjoy it and it helps me learn as it hopefully helps you too.

*Throughout this post I have taken care to put certain words in "scare quotes". These should be read in a sarcastic - bordering on mocking - tone. I don't like calling LLMs and image generators "AI" as there is no intelligence to speak of. I use the word for brevity and simplicity however I don't want to lend credence to the idea that a hopped up predictive text is in anyway intelligent.
