If war comes to your country and you plan to be part of the resistance, you may wish you had a copy of The Anarchist Cookbook.

@redenigma After seeing your reply I reviewed the explosives section, and I can see the validity in your warning. Using the section on homemade detonators as an example, the book contains simple line drawings with very little explanation. I have the formal electronics training and years of experience so I didn't think about it much, but you're right. A novice could blow themselves to smithereens trying to follow those instructions.
@paxterrarum my dad was an electrical engineer & i grew up putting stuff together (including parts to missile guidance systems when i was 9. nothing like a small family business). that section scared me when i was 15... it was so bad.
@redenigma ^^^^^^^^^^ BTW, I don't mean "years of experience" building explosives, lol! I meant years of experience with electronics fabrication and maintenance.
@naikarrah that's a browser function block notice. some add on you're running doesn't like it, maybe because it downloads a .pdf
yea, mbam def doesn't like it, but it's nothing to do with down loadíng pdfs. i download them all the time from libraries, court systems, online appliance manuals, etc. most likely some person or group decided to mass report the site 😡
@naikarrah i've had so many copies of that get borrowed & never returned over the past 50 years... it's pretty dated now & as i said, some of the info in there is downright dangerous to whoever tries to follow the instructions.
@redenigma
this is the World Wide Web...
if it has ever been pllaced on the web-it exists on the web--ad infinitum.😉
@naikarrah
Interesting. I use Microsoft's Defender on Windows 11, and it didn't give me any warnings. The link I provided directly downloads the PDF file, without exploring the website or clicking on links.
@paxterrarum yeah, i have a couple early warning systems on my browser & had no issues.. appreciate the pdf, since my hardcopy seems to have gone walkabout once again...
@paxterrarum wonder if this flags me for the FBI again... i miss those guys ;)
@redenigma In my cybersecurity classes for the IT people at public utilities I explain how astonishingly difficult it is to remain truly anonymous on the web. To your point, there are websites I just won't visit for risk of compromising my TSA clearance.
@paxterrarum @redenigma
seems likely that may have something to do with triggering it.
No worries though, got a free PDF of the circa 2000 edition free from archive.org
😀
@paxterrarum be VERY careful with the Anarchist's cookbook. some of their instructions are not exactly correct & will hurt you more than your target.
