Security in-a-Box is a project by Tactical Tech & Frontline Defenders that I contributed to as a writer, researcher, and editor. This project includes information about various aspects of digital security (“tactics”), as well as numerous hands-on guides which explain step-by-step how to install and use various tools for digital security.
I have written the following guides:
Linux
- Tor Browser for Linux – online anonymity & censorship circumvention
- VeraCrypt for Linux – secure file storage
- Thunderbird, Enigmail and OpenPGP for Linux – secure email
- Jitsi & OTR for Linux – secure instant messaging and VoIP
- Firefox and security add-ons for Linux – secure browsing
- KeePassX for Linux – secure password manager
- Basic security for Linux
Windows
- Tor Browser for Windows– online anonymity & censorship circumvention
- VeraCrypt for Windows – secure file storage
