Some things wouldn’t be different, you’d still have some instructions on how to make certain drugs, explosives and chemicals. You’d just 3D print more of the components where appropriate, and guns.
If anyone is at all curious, there are plenty of places to download the original Cookbook.
Yeah but what about an updated one for 2024?
That’s what I just covered?
I think he’s asking for to download the content of the one for 2024. Not just the topics you mentioned.
Well, considering we’re engaged in the hypothetical contents of said book were someone to create it - it doesn’t exist. Seems you’re probably right, but not a well worded question considering the context of the discussion.
But why male models?
Are you serious? I just told you a moment ago!
Probably an entire chapter dedicated to 3D printing guns.
Personally quite a fan of the idea of making my own pistol (or, well, some of it) in the comfort of my own home, but far too poor to get a 3d printer that’ll actually do a good job.
Here you go. If you’re in the US, most states have stupidly lax laws on homemade firearms. It basically boils down to don’t make them too short, don’t make them full auto, put a serial number on it, and pay your taxes.
Serial number not necessary unless you’re selling it.
They like you having it incase it gets stolen.
That said, “1” is technically a valid serial.
Not my problem what “they like.” If it gets stolen, I’ll print another.
Mfers can literally do anything in the US as long as they pay their taxes.
Defense against LRAD and the microwave stinger.
Some kind of unique digital signature containing information about exactly which set of computers it had passed through to get to you, so that every copy would contain information about who distributed it to whom and when.
I pulled out my copy of the cookbook just for reference, I keep it on my bookshelf next to my copy of the Poor Man’s James Bond 2. The 4 chapters of the book were “Drugs”, “Electronics, Sabotage, and Surveillance” (The shortest), “Natural, Nonlethal, and Lethal Weapons”, and “Explosives and Booby Traps”.
I feel like “Drugs” would get expanded upon to showcase more modern stuff like Meth, Fent, Kratom, etc. The electronics/sabotage/surveillance chapter would double or triple in size easily, becoming the biggest in the book owing to our modern times and definitely include info on anonymizing yourself online along with in rallies/protests/riots, using the dark web, and more. Weaponry would get a nod towards 3d printing, maybe stuff on neutralizing gas for protestors/rioters. Explosives and Booby Traps wouldn’t change too much.
I really hate the new cigarettes that self-extinguish. My source for delay timer fuses now has to be self-rolled!
All you need is stump remover, sugar and string. I roll my own.
That’s not NEARLY as slow as the cigarette method. The cigarette fuse was a 2 inch fuse for a 15-25 minute-ish delay.
You need time to not have to RUN away from things, you need to be able to casually stroll away so you don’t draw attention.
Rolled Cigarettes from pipe tobacco still works. I also love how you can tell the people replying to this with “Oh you can just [YouTube Video]!” – have never actually used the method I’m mentioning.
Rolled Cigarettes from pipe tobacco still works
No. It doesn’t. Pipe tobacco self-extinguishes even faster than cigarettes these days. Bogarting isn’t allowed any more.
It does when you use a cigarette roller and stuff it inside of a cigarette.
I’ve been doing that for years now - keeping the damn thing lit is as difficult as getting it lit in the first place.
Still tastes much better than normal cigarettes, though.
Fucking cheap as dirt too! :D
Slow fuse is available basically everywhere they sell fireworks.
How slow is slow fuse? Because the cigarette method was basically a 2 inch, 20-30-minute timer that was available at every corner store imaginable. You could vary the time by getting shorts, or 110s, and the filter was good at holding normal fuse in place.
These days you can’t even get cigarettes at the supermarket or gas station anymore. At least in my country.
It would probably also include how to use an Arduino and some wire to rebroadcast the proximity antenna from somebody’s wireless key fob inside of their home to their Tesla.
Probably how to clone a SIM card so that you can use the phone for free.
A handful of methods to root and jailbreak various phones to break them from carrier locks.
There would be an entire chapter on Lora and how to set up a surveillance free local Wi-Fi network for your city with solar powered devices and QR codes to allow people to connect with their phones.
And definitely a handful of links to kiwix copies of that book and possibly a few gigabytes of other similar books that can be shared by the same network.
The anarchist cookbook is from 1971. Was there a different version put out in the 90s?
I maybe showing my age but when I was rebelling against authority in 91 I found it in a bookshop. Then in the 00s I saw it on the internet.
This book is 53 years old, it is sort of amazing how relevant it’s been over half a century. There are a lot of copy cats/ version 2 etc. But the original is 1971 and it’s how I learned how to make Napalm iirc.
LMAO ok then I got to ask before others ask how in the hell do you make napalm? I am not going to google it just incase someone or some government is watching.
I’m not tried the orange juice and kerosene mix, but you can get something that’s startlingly close by dissolving Styrofoam in gasoline.
It makes a weird sticky goop that is highly flammable and is definitely something you would not want to have on your skin regardless of whether it is currently burning or not, although I will admit it would undoubtedly be far worse if it were on fire.
you got me curious on how the hell you know that?
90’s? lol
Well, what’s the modern equivalent of an Army explosives manual to remix into dangerous misinformation?
You can already find army SOPs online.
Ripped Nile Red and Nile Blue YouTube videos. And it would be in the form of a Torrent.
Bad USBs would be on there for sure. Maybe an updated version of the floppy disk (so a USB drive) that catches fire.
Stealing someone’s phone number or reading their texts.
Card skimming, though less useful these days with chip tech.
Making and running ROMs for Nintendo Switch.
Various ways to pirate besides torrents.
Product return scamming.
Jailbreaking your vehicle.
Stealing a catalytic converter.
Lots of other stuff involving the Flipper Zero.
Ok now you got me curious what is a Flipper Zero?
It’s basically a pen testing multitool with focus on wireless media. I would highly recommend getting familiar with the local regulations (ie. FCC in the US) before obtaining and playing around with one.
The FCC doesn’t care about political philosophy when it comes to interference regs - they are happy to throw the book at you and have decades of detection equipment development to find you, if you mess with or interfere with regulated bands. For example, guitar pedal company Electro-Harmonix for slapped with a $450k fine and consent decree in 2013 for unknowingly violating FCC Part 15 regulations. Behringer was hit with a $1M fine in 2006. They don’t fuck around.
That said, I’d encourage you to learn more, maybe get involved with things line LoRa and Meshtastic. Great things for an anarchist to know about.
overpriced antenna basically
How to be rich in 5 days.
A lot is still relevant, I think. Additions would probably be on facial-recognition-avoidance and perhaps avoiding surveillance more broadly. As opposed to phone phreaking and other telco stuff, probably more internet and programming-focused things would exist.

A retraction.
He also posted an eight-paragraph note on the book’s Amazon.com sales page, calling it “a misguided and potentially dangerous publication” and expressing his wish that the book be taken out of print.
And from wikipedia:
[…] he began writing about pedagogy and conflict resolution. This led him to renounce his book and instead campaign for its withdrawal from publication. He was unable to legally stop the publication of The Anarchist Cookbook because the copyright had been issued to the original publisher Lyle Stuart, and subsequent publishers that purchased the rights have kept the title in print. Powell publicly renounced his book in a 2013 piece calling for the book to “quickly and quietly go out of print”.
I could see how he might change his opinion, and later adopt a philosophy of nonviolence. But at this point there are some valid concerns regarding global catastrophic risks that we may not be able to confront without violent action. For a deeper dive on it, consider Sophie From Mars’ video The World Is Not Ending ( on YouTube ) and How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire by Andreas Malm which confront that either we face that capitalism will kill us and collectively stop doing it, or we, as a species, perish. And the sooner we can make that change, the less stark our future will be.
And in that regard, Powell’s practical instructions might still see some proper use.
May we all become older and wiser before we have to find out.
