OPSEC

Operational Security is not paranoia — it's pattern awareness.

This page serves as the main hub for OPSEC practices and philosophies across both physical and digital environments. Whether you're an activist, sysadmin, whistleblower, or just someone who values sovereignty in the modern surveillance state — this is your jump-off point.

What is OPSEC?

OPSEC (Operational Security) is the practice of identifying and protecting critical information from adversarial observation. It’s not just about encryption or burner phones — it’s about behavioral patterns, hardware trust, environmental awareness, and long-term risk reduction.

Modern threats are persistent and often built into the tools we use every day. True OPSEC starts by understanding the entire surface: from BIOS to browser, from speech patterns to USB ports.
