OPSEC (Operational Security) is the discipline of protecting critical information and minimizing digital footprints. It is not about paranoia, but about establishing repeatable practices that reduce exposure to surveillance, phishing, and metadata leaks.
According to leading security organizations including the Tor Project, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), strong OPSEC combines encrypted communications, compartmentalization of identities, secure cryptographic protocols (e.g., PGP/GnuPG), and anonymity networks like Tor. The goal is simple: prevent adversaries from correlating activities and identities.
This handbook provides step-by-step instructions, checklists, and reference material on topics such as mirror verification, PGP authentication, Monero privacy, and layered encryption models. Every guideline is grounded in best practices recommended by NIST and modern threat intelligence research.
Zero-Trust Mindset
Verify every component independently, never assume trust by default.
Global Resilience
Use distributed mirrors and redundant entry points for reliability.
Efficient Practices
Streamlined security routines that protect without slowing you down.
