 ====== Security warning ======
-Note however, that security is a process, not a tool. You need at least basic understanding to assess the degree of security or [[:connect:resources#why_there_is_no_100_anonymity|anonymity]] a tool can give you. That said, treat it like a game.

 The use of security sensitive activity (which is both prohibited and can be persecuted by society and/or government) without deep understanding is **strongly** discouraged.
