What is HWB?

Hackers Without Borders is an international technical humanitarian cluster organization, working all over the internet to assist people whose communication is threatened by government, militia, corporations or by others in power.

What do HWB do?

What we can to make sure as many as possible have access to uncensored means of communication. For example creating live CD's to simplify setting up a secure proxy, communication tools like IRC and Twitter bots to simplify the spreading of information, etc.

How can I help?

Look at our projects and see if there's something that you can help with. We're of course always interested in new problems and solutions, so feel free to add what you think is missing to this wiki! Or jump into #hackerswithoutborders @irc.freequest.net to chat with us directly.

About us

We gather under a few simple ideas:

• Communication is a human right.
• We don't take sides in conflicts.
• We provide any person, regardless of side and intent with means for communication.
• We protect the means for communication for anyone.
• We don't destroy means for communication for anyone (e.g. DDoS:ing servers). Ever.

Still building...

We've just started, so it'll probably happen a lot in the coming days. Check out the todo and the Thinktank if you're looking for something to do or have some cool ideas!

Want to join?

We're building, and we need hands! (and heads, and feet, and...) but be prepared for a lot of chaos now in the beginning.
