I recently read the "How I do my Computing" by RMS. And I wonder, is there any internet article which have information about which Software Mr. Edward Snowden uses? Operating System, EMail Service, Phone, Etc. I'm getting paranoic about all this privacy talk.
I would imagine he uses Tails and TOR.<p>He used to use Lavabit for email. The founder of Lavabit chose to shut the company down rather than comply with subpoenas from the US government. There is probably pending litigation to this day. He's obviously not going to disclose his current email provider as it would suffer the same fate.<p>I'd be curious to know his choice of OS. It's probably a Linux distro, but it could also be a BSD.<p>If he uses a cellphone at all, it's probably a blackphone: <a href="https://blackphone.ch/phone/" rel="nofollow">https://blackphone.ch/phone/</a> I believe Glenn Greenwald has talked about the Blackphone and was a beta user.<p>It's unlikely that Snowden would reveal any details about his computing as they could potentially be used compromise his comsec.<p>Here are some resources for surveillance self-defense: <a href="https://ssd.eff.org/" rel="nofollow">https://ssd.eff.org/</a>.
For most of his work, he is probably using a PC without a video camera (webcam / mic) operating under a fake identity. Good chance he is just using a normal OS / setup.<p>Phone, I agree he probably has to have some sort of blackphone unless he is altering his voice.<p>Now, when he goes to communicate with his family / reporters I'm sure he has a whole setup with Tor / Tails and a whole lotta encryption.<p>If you watched the recent documentary you will see he did a lot of command line stuff and was a huge advocate of PGP.
