Purpose

It is the intent of this repository to inform and instruct users wanting to protect themselves from prying eyes when communicating day to day. Each walkthrough is framed in a way that tells you upfront what data of yours is at risk, how it's collected, and how it can be exploited.

Those looking to contribute:

• Present the content in small digestible portions
• Walkthroughs should have the following sections:
  1. The action (email, sms, sending a file, sharing a password)
  2. How's the information vulnerable? How is it exploited?
  3. How to protect yourself
  4. [Optional] The technical details
