Back in February, a thread was made on applechan by a user with the alias of "clippng" regarding the start of a security related zine, and the search for people interested in working on said zine. The zine was hosted on an etherpad instance, which after a month or so of inactivity, was deleted. But before the etherpad was deleted, I (903) copied the zine's content, removed all of the identifying information and uploaded it to gitlain[1]. A month ago clippng emailed me hoping to get the zine back up and running again, as he had heard I had a copy. Unfortunately, it seems like I responded too late to the email and now it looks like they don't check their email anymore. In the same way as the original project, I'd like to start to look for people interested in working on the zine. If you're interested in what needs to be written, or would like to see what has been written already, have a look at the gitlain repo below. I currently don't have any ideas on how to host the zine in a way other than maybe an etherpad instance or a gitlain repo, so feel free to suggest ideas in that regard. I can be contacted at nineohthree<at>airmail<dot>cc and my PGP key can be found here: https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x8010C263FB36154F [1] https://gitla.in/903/Security-Culture-In-An-Age-of-Cyber-Repression-Zine Reposted here because sephchan is a wreck.

I don't know, seems like it would take a lot of effort to get it into a usable form, and to be perfectly honest there's no information here that's not available elsewhere. Maybe it should be condensed into a pamphlet-like form. Something you can print out and stick on a wall.

It isn't really obvious what's left to do if someone wanted to get involved. Maybe put some sort of todo list into the readme? I might write an article or two, depending on if there still is something left that I know enough about.

What's the plan on how/where to distribute the zine? As >>1962 points out, pretty much every chan user is tech-savvy enough to search the internet for this kind of information, so making this zine for them would be a huge waste of time. Do you have any concrete groups of non-technical people you plan on spreading this to?

>>1963 I'll organize what needs to be done in the readme. Please keep in mind I will be moving the project to another medium (github?) so do not rely on the gitla.in instance. >>1962 >>1964 >What's the plan on how/where to distribute the zine? Anontrust/clippng (whom has tried to contact me since the OP) originally proposed distributing the zine in physical form, much like a magazine, since he had the ability to reach out to a large amount of people, due to him moving around a lot. Another way the zine could be distributed would be in digital form, hosted on various distributed platforms (torrents, free hosting sites, ipfs, etc.) and then linked to via QR code or maybe another easy to use linking format. Another, more cryptic possibility would be to set up a phantom-ap[1] like node and distribute the zine that way. >pretty much every chan user is tech-savvy enough to search the internet for this kind of information, so making this zine for them would be a huge waste of time The zine tries to compartmentalize the skills explained to make them the most user friendly and straightforward as possible. Instead of looking at ten different sources and a man page to figure out how to use a program, they can look at the page in the zine instead. It's built in a way to get projects that require OPSEC off the ground as soon as possible, regardless of prior knowledge. In essence, the zine can be used and interpreted by anyone that needs it, so really it caters to user friendliness more than anything. >Do you have any concrete groups of non-technical people you plan on spreading this to? Although the zine has an anti-capitalist slant, really it can be used for any purpose relating to OPSEC. It seems that most security guides today are bent on a sort of libertarian ideology (see anything relating to tor and dark net markets) that isn't present in the zine, where it has a more of anti-capitalist theme, if anything. Anontrust originally outlined how he could distribute the zine directly to leftist groups as well. [1] https://gitla.in/CBurner/phantom-ap

>>1963 There is now a to-do list: https://github.com/nineohthree/seczine

Is this still going? Maybe we should merge this project with Lainzine 5.
