Hi, Yesterday, while checking the EDRI blog [1] subtitled « Digital Civil Rights in Europe » (which is quite interesting even tough a bit technocratic) I stepped upon [2] a document called « Anonymous Blogging with WordPress and Tor » [3].
It's a very basic guide on using Tor to blog with WordPress. It explains how to use the Tor Browser Bundle from Windows, create disposable webmail addresses, blog with WordPress, etc. It seems like has has received a good media coverage, it has been partly linked by the EFF [4] and the author is being pretty active at adovcating it to NGOs, organizing workshops, etc. But, honestly, reading it from a Tails perspective has been a slightly scary experience and I think it could be worth getting in touch with them and propose a review of the document. For example, suggesting them to advocate Tails instead of TBB would probably make the whole document shorter and the proposed practices more secure. For example, let me just quote two parts where I guess we could suggest worthy improvements: « Step 5: Cover your tracks a) Securely erase the rough drafts of the post you made from your laptop or home machine. [...] b) Clear your browser history, cookies and passwords from Firefox. [...] » Using Tails would definitely simplify this part and make it more secured. « A final thought on anonymity: If you don’t really need to be anonymous, don’t be. If your name is associated with your words, people are likely to take your words seriously. But some people are going to need to be anonymous, and that’s why this guide exists. Just please don’t use these techniques unless you really need to. » Explaining a bit about anonymity sets wouldn't hurt ;) I'm ready to this work if we find it interesting.
