Telecomix Crypto Munitions Bureau is part of Telecomix. This wiki is used for discussing technology and philosophy. For other projects, see the WeRebuild(Heavily outdated) and the Blue Cabinet (monitoring surveillance companies).
If you find anything interesting and want to talk about it (we don't bother with e-mails) join us at irc.telecomix.org Port 6667 (6697 for SSL). We can also be reached at WNH. IRC is irc://irc.wnh.me Port 6667 (6697 SSL).
[edit] Telecomix Crypto Munitions Bureau?
A decentralized organization without membership. The bureaus goals are described in this paper issued by Cameron. Beyond that, we also do whatever we want.
