Yeah, I assumed it was a joke. One I had nothing to do with. A great meme, though! Makes me want to change my home router's SSID to van # 8.

The fact that it hits a nerve and that everybody's now tuned in to the joke suggests the unprecedented vulnerability of public opinion about NSA surveillance.

isn't that a little too obvious of a name to be for real? or am I just being unnecessarily cynical about being this paranoid... good list of links though.

In an already apparent increase in surveillance transparency, I took this screenshot on my phone of an actual SSID (locked) now available at Sudo Square.

you could also start living like an elderly person or a resident of a small mountain town. Those are people that still only use landline phones and snail mail.

Also keep in mind that actively trying to circumvent NSA's spying will likely get you put on a list of suspicious individuals requiring more intrusive scrutiny. Because we need to protect society from cryptoradicals like you.

Feels like 1984 all over again...

this is an awesome list of great software. I also think it's important that people understand that privacy, anonymity, and securing require more than just switching to Ubuntu, using Firefox, etc... It requires real changes in behavior, as well as technical solutions. For example, you can use encrypted email all you want, but if the person you are communicating with doesn't also have good security practices they can be compromised and all your communications can be made available to anyone with access to their computer.

Also keep in mind that these technical solutions will never be enough. For example,  keyloggers are easy to trick someone in to installing or can even be placed in to "legitimate" via automatic updates without the user knowing. At any moment Apple, Microsoft, and Google could switch on a network of spying computers unprecedented in American history, (are you sure you and everyone you are communicating with are using 0% software from these companies?).

The point is that this is not a technical problem. And, so far it's still very difficult for the NSA to gain human intelligence, so if you want to share secrets, the best way to do it is over drinks at your friends house surrounded by people you trust.
