A Guide to Paranoia

|
You are not doing anything dangerous, but some people think you are extremely
|
|
hazardous to the society. They will do just about anything, whether it is
|
|
illegal or not. They may be old friends who turned into enemies, or
|
|
authorities that spend the tax payers' money just to make your life
|
|
miserable.
|
|
Perhaps you do not even know who is after you, but you do know that
|
|
someone is! Maybe something in the past is hunting you, something you almost
|
|
had forgotten.
|
|
To frame, scare, hurt or just waiting for you to make a mistake.
|
|
|
|
If they are out to get you, why make things easier for them? Here are some
|
|
hints to have in mind, but as always; be innovative and use your imagination.
|
|
Methods never been described somewhere are always the best.

|
|
|
|
|
|
Visiting.
|
|
|
|
Never do anything by habit. Don't be at a place at a specific time regularly.
|
|
That includes the time you arrive and when you leave. If you have to go
|
|
somewhere every week, then never arrive nor leave at the same time as last
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At home.
|
|
|
|
Have all your windows covered with curtains when you are at home, most of the
|
|
time. When you leave home, remove the curtains. But not every time. Be very
|
|
irregular about this, as with everything.
|
|
When you leave home, put up some traps for unwanted guests while you are
|
|
away. Try the classics; glue or tape single hairs on drawers, windows and
|
|
doors. Disguise them well inside paint cracks, corners et cetera. Be sure to
|
|
remember exactly how you put it up so they get impossible to recreate.
|
|
Keep a, harmless, flour bomb in a drawer, set up to go off in the face
|
|
of the sucker who opens it.
|
|
Regularly check your home for miniature microphones or cameras.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your computer.
|
|
|
|
Have everything you have written or constructed yourself in an encrypted
|
|
format. One of the best on the market today is Pretty Good Privacy, PGP. Be
|
|
sure to use PGP version 2.1 or _below_. Later versions should be considered
|
|
unsafe! Only use 1024 bit keys. Never trust applications with built-in
|
|
encryption such as word processors and spread sheets.
|
|
Keep a record of every time your computer is switched on. Write your
|
|
own, or ask someone to program it for you.
|
|
Never have backups of your system anywhere near the computer. A good
|
|
place to store backups are at a good friend's place, preferably someone
|
|
without a computer himself. Do however keep backup media locally, filled with
|
|
nonsense (random) data, the more the better.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Work.
|
|
|
|
Never arrive at work at the same time two days in a row. If it is impossible
|
|
to arrive later than you are supposed to, then be there more or less early
|
|
every day. Going to or from work is the most likely occasion for you to get a
|
|
look at the ones following you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Work/school computer.
|
|
|
|
Never keep anything personal on your computer at work/school. Encrypted or
|
|
not, keep it away from work/school.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Phone.
|
|
|
|
Common phones are probably the most unsafe way of communicating there is.
|
|
If you want to speak freely with someone, meet at a restaurant you've never
|
|
been to before. Maybe rent a car and drive around while discussing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cellular phone.
|
|
|
|
These can be monitored even if some of them really are transmitting encrypted
|
|
data digitally.
|
|
They are also useful when locating someone. Since the phone transmits
|
|
signals, it is quit easily connected to a geographic location. Therefore you
|
|
are not safe even if you use a phone registered to someone else. Since if
|
|
your opponents know where you are, they can find out which phones are active
|
|
in your area and that way figure out which one you are using. A good rule to
|
|
have in mind is; "What I am saying now is broadcasted throughout the
|
|
country."
|
|
Unencrypted cellular phones are just like walkie-talkies, anyone can
|
|
listen to them with a cheap scanner.
|
|
When talking in code, try not to make it too obvious it is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pager.
|
|
|
|
Probably the best way to communicate with your contacts. Since it is only
|
|
receiving signals, it is impossible to trace. Have your friends call your
|
|
pager from a pay phone, and you will be untouchable. Do change your pager
|
|
regularly though.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Business.
|
|
|
|
No matter what business you are in, there are many mistakes easily made if
|
|
one's not careful enough. Never keep names, phone numbers, products, digits
|
|
in a note pad. The best way is to memorize as much as possible and have the
|
|
rest in a safe place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Electronic notepad.
|
|
|
|
No matter what the companies claim in their brochures, they are not safe.
|
|
Practically anyone can download any stored information in plain text from
|
|
these.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Meetings.
|
|
|
|
Avoid planning meetings over any media or way of communication besides
|
|
talking face to face. When you actually meet, that is the time and place to
|
|
make up plans for the next meeting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
General, talk.
|
|
|
|
Try not to lie to anyone, friend or foe. Leave out important parts and/or
|
|
emphasize unimportant details instead. Lying requires a good memory, and is
|
|
tougher to maintain in the long term.
|
|
|
|
|
|
General, walking.
|
|
|
|
When going around a corner, be sure to be on the safest possible distance
|
|
from the other side of the wall you are walking to.
|
|
If you are at a door that opens away from you, use your foot instead of your
|
|
hand to push it open. When pulling a door open, stand behind the door and use
|
|
the door as a shield when opening it.
|
|
When waiting for an elevator, never stand in front of the door when the
|
|
door is about to open.
|
|
Unlocking doors should be carried out standing so that only your hand
|
|
is in front of the door. Practice the same procedure when opening it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Friends.
|
|
|
|
Never use a friend's name when appearing as someone else, it will only help
|
|
them find you.
|
|
Look for signs of changes in your friends' behaviour, it may be because
|
|
they have changed side.
|
|
When you are about to answer a question, think; "does he/she really
|
|
need to know this?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Relatives.
|
|
|
|
Knowing someone for years could make you feel safe. Don't be. Your enemies
|
|
have a very easy job convincing someone in your family that you are up to no
|
|
good, and have to be observed every minute. If you already have relatives you
|
|
don't like, your opponents will have an even easier job.
|
|
|
|
|
|
New friends.
|
|
|
|
People you meet who act too nice and too friendly, obviously trying their
|
|
best to make friends with you, could be someone they have sent to set you up
|
|
in one way or the other. Even if they do the same things you do, they might
|
|
be out to get you when the time is right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Suspicious people.
|
|
|
|
People sitting in cars when you pass by. People waiting at the same bus stop
|
|
as you. New people at work. People calling the wrong number.
|
|
Old business partners you haven't heard from in years suddenly have a
|
|
lot of tempting offers for you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Public places.
|
|
|
|
When in pubs, bars, clubs or similar, always be on the look out for unknown
|
|
people acting strange or paying you a lot of attention.
|
|
Never get so drunk you do not know what you are doing. Someone might be
|
|
listening, or even asking the questions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Final advice.
|
|
|
|
Be innovative. Be irregular. Be suspicious.
|
|
|
|
Pay attention to others true intentions.
|
|
|
|
Do not rely on people. Do not trust people.
|
|
|
|
Be paranoid.
