You can contact National Radical via our contact page at http://jymfasyfmxn2ytc5poswetilpplct6h54y7ih3enyn46tqvssegxvlqd.onion/contact/home

For the safety and security of submitters, this page is only accessible via the Tor Browser, which can be obtained at https://torproject.org/download/ . The Tor Browser is Firefox-based browser that gives users access to secure private network that conceals IP addresses and other fingerprinting issues that are common with standard web browsers.

We recommend using a secure operating system such as Tails or Whonix, especially if what you are sending us is sensitive in nature.

What should you send National Radical?

• News stories

  • We want to highlight and spread the word on those taking radical action. If you see a story about someone doing so, send it to us so we can post about it.

• Communiques & Claims of responsibility

  • If you or a someone you're in contact with took action and want to make a public statement ('Communique') or make a general claim of responsibility, we'll be happy to share it here.
  • NOTE : Due to nature of sharing this information, we strongly encourage you to use a secure Tor-integrated operating system (Tails/Whonix) to submit any information of this kind.

• DIY, How-to's & Guides

  • Have you developed a skill or knowledge that may be useful to other radicals? Write up a guide on that skill/knowledge and send it to us.
  • This skill/knowledge can be a real world skill or a technically focused item (eg. How to keep clean opsec while doing a specific activity online)

• Insider information

  • If you have access to limited information that relates to Nationalism or revolutionary action and you can safely retrieve that information, send it to us. Any information shared with us would be used with whistle-blowing and journalistic purposes as the core focus.
  • NOTE : Due to nature of sharing this information, we strongly encourage you to use a secure Tor-integrated operating system (Tails/Whonix) to submit any information of this kind.

• Analysis

  • If you have an interesting point-of-view to share on a news story or action, send it to us. We're particularly interested in content like improving the tactics, security, efficiency, and effectiveness of an action.
  • NOTE : Any analysis should be action oriented, we're not interested in the 10,000th analysis of Nietzsche or Spengler here.

• Miscellaneous

  • We're not interested in doxes of specific persons, however How-to/DIY material that teaches others how to find specific information is more than welcome.
  • If you're not sure, you can always send it to us, worst that happens is we say no thanks.

Note on sending files

If you'd like to send us file(s), please use the Chat option and give some background on the contents the file(s) you would like to send (What it is, file size, format, etc). For security reasons we don't have a file upload in this chat. We have a secure anonymous end-to-end process for receiving files which includes reading them on an airgapped device. Once we have established that the files you're sending are relevant and would be included in a post or otherwise used by National Radical we will send instructions on uploading.

What should you NOT send National Radical?

• Any information that can identify you

  • We want all users of this site to remain anonymous

• Anything about specific organizing plans

  • If you're organizing for an action -- we don't want to have any advance knowledge of any actions you take.

• Requests for in-person networking

  • This is a news and information platform, not a networking hub.

Contact technical information

This is section is for technical information on how the contact component of this site works and why it is secure. This section requires some technical knowledge to understand (PGP, Hashing, Databases, Browsers, Javascript, etc), as such it may be useful to research these topics.

At a high level the contact page uses PGP via the Protonmail maintained Javascript library OpenPGP.JS. OpenPGPJS is an implementation of PGP, the most time tested public private key encryption implemention, the library has also been audited by a security research firm. This PGP library creates public/private keys and encrypts/decrypts messages. No other libraries are used, we use vanilla Javascript for operations and have made an effort to make this code as easy as possible to view and analyze (Right click View Source and scroll to the bottom of any page). This is done to keep the ability to create submissions accessible to individuals of all technical backgrounds. If there is interest in a non-javascript version where individuals must create/use their own PGP keys on their own we may add that.

There are two types of messages you can send us a Single Message or a Chat. Single messages are one time send, with no ability to reply. In Chats, admins can reply and communicate with a user. Chats have a seed phrase that's used as a pseudo username and a password that decrypts that chat specific private key. The seed is hashed in the browser and is never known by the admin's or database. The password is also not saved by the database, but is used to encrypt that chat's PGP private key on the client side/browser so the unencrypted private key is never saved on our end or sent to us.

We're being very transparent with how technical information pertaining to contacting us as security and privacy of users is very important to us. If you see a security vulnerability in our encryption approach or code implementation, please feel free to message us so we can fix it ASAP. Below is what is saved within our database for single messages and chats.

Single Message

Single messages are as they sound, one time messages without any ability for us to reply back. These are useful for small snippets of information that doesn't need additional context.

The information stored in our database from single messages :

• Encrypted message content - This content is encrypted in the user's browser using OpenPGP.JS with our public key. This content is only decrypted and read on an admin's computer.
• Date sent - when our server received the message
• Message read - tracks if the message has been opened by admins

Chat

Chats are a back and forth premise where administrators can reply to a user. These are useful when more context or information may be needed or if you want to continually send us information.

The information stored in our database for chats is in two tables:

Chats

• Chat Hash - A MD5 hash of the user's seed phrase (this acts like a username). The seed phrase is hashed in the browser via Javascript, so administrators can never know your seed phrase.
• User Public Key - The user's chat specific public key
• User Encrypted Private Key - The user's chat specific private key that has been encrypted with their password in the browser using OpenPGP.JS
• Date started - Date the chat was opened
• Message Allocation - The number of messages that you can send to us currently. This is an anti-spam mechanism. If you send us non-spam messages we will continually increase your allocation.

Chat Messages

• Admin Encrypted message - the message encrypted with National Radical's public key
• User encrypted message - the message encrypted with the user's public key
• Date sent - when our server received the message
• Message read - tracks if the message has been read
