Operational Security: Privacy, Anonymity and Deniability

BREAKING NEWS: Welcome to the Nihilism Opsec Blog v2.0! We are now running mkdocs-material and all of our blogposts have been converted to Markdown to make it simplify the contribution process in the long run.

SHOWCASED TUTORIAL: Learn how to audit your own setup, to determine your Operational Security (OPSEC) Level, and find out what is the most appropriate internet use for it.

With this new mkdocs blog version, we have completely changed how you can find blogposts that are relevant to your own situation. Thanks to the Mkdocs search plugin, you can now search for specific terms (ex:Tor, Monero, Anonymity, Deniability) in the search bar at the top to find the blogposts that are relevant to what you wish to know. Don't hesitate to combine search terms together to try and find what you need.

What is the goal of the Opsec blog ?

In short, we're here to tell you why and how you can become ungovernable.

  • Priority number 1: Solving the lack of education
  • Priority number 2: Advice applicable to 90% of the people out there, to defeat 99% of the risks
  • Priority number 3: Simplifying the advice as much as possible
