These recommendations are intended for all anarchists and are accompanied by guides on how to put them into practice. They are based on a threat model that protects against government security forces and equivalent adversaries that seek to achieve [targeted digital surveillance](https://www.csrc.link/threat-library/techniques/targeted-digital-surveillance.html) for [incrimination](https://www.csrc.link/threat-library/tactics/incrimination.html) or [network mapping](https://www.csrc.link/threat-library/techniques/network-mapping.html). The goal is to obscure the visibility of our enemies into our lives and projects, and to leave no trace when relevant. Technology is hostile terrain.

We agree with the conclusion of an overview of [targeted surveillance measures in France](https://actforfree.noblogs.org/post/2023/07/24/number-of-the-day-89502-preventive-surveillance-measures-france/): "So let’s be clear about our responsibilities: if we knowingly bring a networked device equipped with a microphone and/or a camera (cell phone, baby monitor, computer, car GPS, networked watch, etc.) close to a conversation in which “private or confidential words are spoken” and must remain so, even if it's switched off, we become a potential state informer…"

## Preparation for Crossing Borders
It is not recommended to risk taking the phone or computer you use every day across a border. If you do, make sure that Full Disk Encryption is enabled, that it is turned off, and that you are prepared to deny password access and accept the consequences of doing so. It is not enough to delete files (or messages, apps, etc.) before crossing the border and then unlock your device. In fact, the first thing a border team will check is whether anything was recently deleted. To prevent data recovery, you must perform a Factory Reset and then reinstall the operating system.
A better approach is to have a dedicated travel device that you can unlock for border agents, since you always cross with a fresh operating system installation. For phones, stock Android can be [easily installed (flashed)](https://flash.android.com) on [certain phone models](https://source.android.com/docs/setup/build/flash#device-requirements) after a factory reset. The fresh phone can be populated with benign contacts such as family. Once across the border, you can restore your data and use the phone normally, but redo this process before crossing the border again. The same principle applies to computers - reinstall the operating system, make it look normal, then restore the data you need once you have crossed. If the device is taken out of your sight at any point, don’t even turn it back on before trashing it, as it may now send your password to the authorities and be infected with spyware.
