March Update

We’ve recently made progress on a number of fronts. We have been organizing a cryptoparty in Troy with several local students, slated for early April. We have also made contact with an anarchist collective in New York City, which has asked us to run a workshop there on surveillance issues and steps for personal privacy.

There have been significant updates to four software projects:

• SpeakFree (Microphone Jammer)

  • Version 1.0.1 released!

  • Lots of small improvements to the UI, and a few bug fixes

  • Now working on releasing to F-Droid

• SafeGuard (Dead Man Switch for Protesters)

  • Development initiated!

  • Starting with an Electron-based cross-platform client

    • Can be left running on a PC at home

    • Configure the app with login details and an email

    • Sends the email if not disarmed in time

• SocMap (Twitter Community Mapping)

  • Several analysis tools added

  • Lots of testing and debugging

• Where are the Eyes (Camera Map)

  • Fixed the registration bug

  • Mostly done building a web-client for viewing the map

    • Just some CSS issues left

  • Implemented several new features and bug fixes in iOS

    • Working on parity on Android

  • Approaching 1.4 release
