Opsec Measures

Recommended Measures

Here you will find resources that will help you from a technological operational security perspective. OPSEC is much more than simply what networks and technology you use.

Make sure that you use a separate and fully encrypted computer to work from. This can be a virtual machine, USB, external drive or a throw away laptop. All of your network traffic should be routed entirely over Tor (whonix is the best for this). See Phineas fishers operational security practices.

• The whonix wiki has lots of great info on anonymity even if you're not using whonix: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Documentation
• https://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/wikis/doc/TransparentProxy
• Use veracrypt to encrypt your virtual machines and hard drive. https://veracrypt.fr/
• https://www.torproject.org/
• Disable javascript (set Security Level to "Safest" in Tor Browser)
• If you plan on transacting you should always start from monero and swap your XMR to another coin. This reduces traceability (over Tor). https://www.getmonero.org/
