Large data-hungry corporations dominate the digital world but with little, or no respect for your privacy. Migrating to open-source applications with a strong emphasis on security will help stop corporations, governments, and hackers from logging, storing or selling your personal data.
The Digital First Aid Kit is a free resource to help rapid responders, digital security trainers, and tech-savvy activists to better protect themselves and the communities they support against the most common types of digital emergencies. It can also be used by activists, human rights defenders, bloggers, journalists or media activists who want to learn more about how they can protect themselves and support others. If you or someone you are assisting is experiencing a digital emergency, the Digital First Aid Kit will guide you in diagnosing the issues you are facing, and refer you to support providers for further help if needed.

The CSRC provides a searchable database of resources on the topic of counter-surveillance, with a focus on targeted surveillance against people who have things to hide. We want to help anarchists and other rebels acquire a practical understanding of the surveillance threats they may face in their struggles and in their lives. We prefer resources written by friends and understandable without prior technical knowledge.

An online service that acts as a telephony middleman - you tell them what number to call, what number you want to show up on both Caller ID and the bill, and what your number is, and they'll connect the two numbers with the spoofed information of your choice.
An application which makes it easier to tunnel IP traffic through the Tor darknet. Stand-alone application. The OS you run this on must have support for IPv6 enabled, though OnionCat can be configured to use IPv4 as well. Gives hidden services IPv6 addresses to make them easier to connect to. Also makes it possible to provide hidden services as easily as one can provide public services on the Net, such as SMTP, DNS, and even VPN.
A command line utility which makes it easy to use certain applications with Tor.
A suite of shell scripts to automate the installation and configuration of FreeBSD in such a manner as to support anonymity and security. Helps with the rapid deployment of BSD machines that can then be used as Tor nodes, hidden service providers, and locked-down desktop machines.
The purpose of this document is to make recommendations on how to browse in a privacy and security conscious manner. This information is compiled from a number of sources, which are referenced throughout the document, as well as my own experiences with the described technologies.
A website that offers email addresses that are only good for ten (10) minutes at a time, though you can opt to extend their lifetime to 100 minutes if you keep refreshing it.
Anonymously and securely send files to and receive files from people. Zips up the files, starts a local web server on your computer with a link to this zip file, makes this website accessible as a Tor onion service, and shows you the URL of the web server. You send someone this .onion URL, they load it in Tor Browser and then they can download the zip file. As soon as the download is complete, OnionShare shuts down the web service. Can be used to host an entire (static) website.
A collection list of selfhosted apps to increase one's privacy and possibly anonymity. webapps tools
APAF is a set of modules for Python that make it easier to develop network applications (it's built on top of Twisted) that run inside of darknets primarily (the Tor network, in particular). Cross platform. Designed to be run portably (i.e., without installation). Tries to make it as easy as possible to set up the networking stuff so you can concentrate on the application stuff. Engineered so that the traffic runs over Tor nicely and safely, but ensuring that you don't screw up and leak data is up to you.
