GroundRod Level One Course in Montana


We will be having a GroundRod One course in Bozeman, MT September 7-8.

As I am sure everyone has noticed, there have been many developments in the last few months in the internet space, much of it not good. Free speech is under heavy and constant attack. Those in the patriot/conservative community are being deplatformed and silenced at an alarming rate. The Marxist left is trying desperately to control the information space and so far is doing a pretty good job of it. The skills learned in the GroundRod digital tradecraft series are more important now than ever. Things are changing rapidly, don't get left behind.

Course length: 2 days (16-20 hours classroom, lab setting)

The Insecurity of "Push Notifications" and What to Do About It

Image
 By now it has been widely circulated that the US government (and their 5 Eyes friends) has been secretly snooping on phone user's messaging in the form of Push Notifications. Not only are they snooping, but they applied a legal gag order to Apple and Google to prevent them from alerting you the customer of this fact. What's that you say? You are using an end-to-end encrypted messenger such as Signal and therefore are safe from said intrusion? Not so fast... While there are indeed some well designed and audited secure chat apps out there, that is only part of the story. Most, if not all, messaging applications employ Push notifications as a way to let you know that someone just reached out to you, even if you didn't happen to have the corresponding application open at the moment.
