My apologies for spamming everyone on this thread, but I thought it might be a good way to get some discussion started.

I can foresee a time when a forum like FreeRepublic could be an extremely useful place to establish covert communications between like-minded folk. For instance, one might generate a PGP key for use here on FR and post the public key here, where anyone could pick it up, or you could export it to any number of public keyservers.

To that end, you'll find the following key at the end of this post...

pub  4096R/928D5DCD 2012-11-24 Zeugma (FreeRepublic) 
sub  4096R/F453329B 2012-11-24 [expires: 2014-11-24]

Granted, normal key validation is not really practical here without physical meet-ups, and you have to take into account that a Fed is normally the 2nd or 3rd person who will show up anywhere where people would like to discuss goings on privately. They are sometimes pretty easy to identify, as they are the first and loudest person who wants to blow something up. Hell, you can tell that just by reading any number of news accounts. I also realize that just bringing this topic up casts a certain amount of suspicion my way.

Because of the way FR operates, it would also be really easy to employ steganography here. Post a pic with a message embedded into it, and ping the appropriate parties, and a message can quietly go out. If something important were going on, you could have someone that posts pics regularly be posting daily sitreps without drawing attention to it at all.

I realize that a public post like this isn't really the best initial comsec, but I'm more just kinda thinking aloud at the moment, and would be interested in feedback.

I guarantee there are informants in any group of people especially one from FR.

Thanks for the informative message and agree that you’d have to absolutely know your contacts in person...and not knowing a thing about PGP keys, I’d require a lot of training. Hope things don’t get to that point, but every day, things seem just a little bit worse.
