This is so well written. Great explanation and step-by-step guide.

Love the inclusion of...

Once you've defined what your threat model looks like, you will be ready to start creating a pseudonymous identity from scratch in Section Three.

The level of detail is very helpful.

haven't managed to read through the entire material yet but i find most of them severely lacking

take a look at a known recent example of how they doxed Beff Jezos in the name of public interest https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilybaker-white/2023/12/01/who-is-basedbeffjezos-the-leader-of-effective-accelerationism-eacc/

A voice analysis conducted by Catalin Grigoras, Director of the National Center for Media Forensics, compared audio recordings of Jezos and talks given by Verdon and found that it was 2,954,870 times more likely that the speaker in one recording of Jezos was Verdon than that it was any other person. Forbes is revealing his identity because we believe it to be in the public interest as Jezos’s influence grows.

good opsec is a lifestyle.

If you only want to shitpost anonymously on the internet its doable, but you still have stylometry to worry about if you also have a public identity https://serhack.me/articles/unveiling-anonymous-author-stylometry-techniques/

if you are doing more nefarious things where your threat model includes state actors then think twice before you embark on the journey because it goes far beyond what is covered there.
