== Cyberdissidence Toolkit
== Objectives
Our goal is unfettered and untraceable access to information.
The founders fathers of the United States recognized the imperfect nature of governments and enumerated citizens' obligations to be both patriots and watchdogs. The 2nd Amendment of the [[http://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/constitution_transcript.html|US Constitution]] was written to protect citizens' right to bear arms and to form militia, enabling us to both defend our government from enemies and to defend ourselves from a tyrannous government.
In the 21st century telecommunications have replaced firearms as a citizen's primary defense of their civil liberties. Our most powerful weapons are the capability to self-organize and maintain access to information. Thus it is our goal to keep the technology behind communication networks beyond the surveillance and censorship capabilities of governments, corporations, and other potentially malicious parties.
== Work
Our [[jtunnel]] software has been successfully used to route past the "Great Firewall of China", as well as other government- and corporation-imposed Internet censors.
This project serves to house research on cyberdissidence and activism in the 21st-century -- its history, theory, tactics, technical challenges, and evolution.
=== "Politricknology" essays
Explores the technologies and the practice of political activism online, including some the history and philosophy behind dissidence and detailed overviews of Internet-based political watchdogs.

== Technology
Traffic proxying & encryption
* [[jtunnel]] -- simple ssh tunnels for Mac, Windows, and Linux
Traffic Anonymization
* [[Firefox + Tor]] using [[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2275|torbutton]] + [[http://privoxy.org|Privoxy]] -- Macs, Linux, Win
* [[http://xerobank.org|XeroBank/TorPark]] -- Windows-only Firefox-portable bundled with Tor (Privoxy/Vidalia)
* [[http://psiphon.civisec.org/|Psiphon]] -- Windows software for system-wide proxying using an extensive network of proxies, developed by the Munk Centre for International Studies
Exotic packet routing techniques
* [[NSTX tunneling]] -- aka IP-over-DNS
* [[ICMP tunneling]] -- aka ping tunneling
* [[SSH-over-HTTPS]] -- make encrypted data connections look like ecommerce
== Organizations

=== Cracking Wifi
* [[Cracking Wifi networks with Kismac]] -- using a Macbook Pro and a compatible USB wifi stick (Prism 3)
=== Dubnet
A trusted, all-volunteer botnet & darknet, which can be used as either a straight or anonymizing proxy server. The jtunnel software defaults to the central Dubnet gateway, which hands them off round-robin.
The Dubnet also serves as the development environment for the [[collusive P2P]] experiment. For more info see the [[Dubnet]] page
