Welcome.
This is a maintained technical guide that aims to provide introduction to various online tracking techniques, online id verification techniques and guidance to creating and maintaining (truly) anonymous online identities including social media accounts safely and legally.

The guide is available at https://anonymousplanet.github.io/thgtoa/guide.html (best viewed on this link as GitHub repository markdown doesn't support the many endnotes).

The latest version (0.4.6) of the guide as well as the media files are also signed using PGP (see the .sig files).
If you don't know how to verify files with PGP signatures, you should first install gpg on your system:
- Windows: Install gpg4win from https://www.gpg4win.org/download.html
- MacOS: Install GPG Tools from https://gpgtools.org/
- Linux: gpg should be installed by default
Import the PGP key using the following command from a command prompt or terminal: "gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-keys 0xEB16B6AB4AB7BA61F33E2DFD0051E9A589DAB601"
If it doesn't work, you can also download/view it directly from here: https://github.com/AnonymousPlanet/thgtoa/raw/main/AnonymousPlanet_0x89DAB601_public.asc
And then import it manually by issuing the following command: "gpg --import AnonymousPlanet_0x89DAB601_public.asc" (or any other file you saved it to).
Finally verify the files by issuing the following commands: "gpg --verify guide.md.sig guide.md" and "gpg --verify guide.pdf.sig guide.pdf".
The result should show a good signature for each file.
You can also verify the authenticity of this gpg signature using my Keybase.io profile https://keybase.io/anonymousplanet and the PGP key is also published on http://keys.gnupg.net/, https://pgp.mit.edu/ and https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/ using the following PGP fingerprint: 0xEB16B6AB4AB7BA61F33E2DFD0051E9A589DAB601
