About

Anonymous Planet are the maintainers of The Hitchhiker's Guide and the PSA Community. This project is part of our ongoing efforts to provide open-source tools and resources for the community, made by people with extensive knowledge in signals and forensics, and expertise in various distributions of Linux. We are providing an introduction to various online tracking techniques, online ID verification techniques, and detailed guidance to creating and maintaining (truly) anonymous online identities. It is written with the hopes that good people (e.g., activists, journalists, scientists, lawyers, whistle-blowers, etc.) will be able to fight oppression, censorship and harassment! The website and projects are free (as in freedom). We are high at risk individuals. We are not simply hackers with a bunch of recommendations and affiliate links like privacytools. To be blunt like Linus Torvalds with a bullshit Merge Request, we don't do that. Here, you will find a trove of information compiled into a single, cohesive set of instructions and sub-guides.

Notes on the journey

This guide is a work in progress. It will probably never be "finished". You may find broken links when you click on some search results and during some navigation steps. Please report these. Otherwise, most of the search functionality is a great experience and can help you find linked topics. Try to search for something in one section of the reading. It will show up in many other places.
