Z-Library
One of the largest shadow libraries on the internet, offering millions of books and academic papers. For researchers, students, and readers in regions with restricted or unaffordable access to academic publishing, it functions as an uncensored knowledge archive, and it maintains a Tor onion service to stay reachable despite repeated clearnet domain seizures. Copyright status varies by jurisdiction — understand your local law before use.
Access: Z-Library's clearnet domains change frequently after takedowns; locate the current verified entry point via its Tor onion service (search through a trusted Tor search engine such as Ahmia) and the project's official announcement channels rather than relying on third-party mirror lists.
The CryptoParty Handbook
A free, community-authored guide to digital self-defense, born from the grassroots global CryptoParty movement. It turns complex privacy concepts — Tor, full-disk encryption, PGP, secure messaging, and safe browsing — into practical, beginner-friendly steps. An excellent starting point before configuring the tools listed on this page.

Bitcoin Privacy & Wallets
Spending Bitcoin without leaking your identity requires a wallet built for privacy. For the full methodology — CoinJoin, atomic swaps, and avoiding chain-analysis — see our Cryptocurrency Mixers guide and Crypto Privacy guide.
Wasabi Wallet
Wasabi is an open-source, non-custodial Bitcoin wallet with native CoinJoin. It combines your transaction with those of many other users into a single on-chain transaction, breaking the deterministic link between inputs and outputs so chain-analysis firms cannot tell which coin went where. All traffic is routed over Tor by default, and the wallet enforces coin control and labeling so you never accidentally merge mixed and unmixed UTXOs. The most accessible desktop entry point into serious Bitcoin privacy.
