> Who we are

0xche is a horizontal and self-organized collective of technologists committed to strengthening the information security of activist organizations and civil society in Latin America. Our identity combines a commitment to social transformation with solid technical expertise.

We believe that offensive security strategies are essential tools for understanding the vulnerabilities of systems used by organizations working with sensitive information. Our goal is to democratize access to technical knowledge in information security through diverse communication that is respectful of all genders and interdisciplinary knowledge.

> Lines of work

Technical Research. We aim to understand the security threats facing organizations in Latin America to respond responsibly and contextually to regional issues, contributing to threat intelligence for human rights defenders.

Security Analysis. We conduct security analyses of infrastructure and devices through realistic and consensual scenarios. We provide organizational-level threat modeling services, map an organization’s attack surface, identify security vulnerabilities in its infrastructure and technology, perform controlled exploitation of these vulnerabilities to understand their impact, and share key findings and actionable recommendations for mitigation. We have been working with activist organizations in Ibero-America since 2018.

Workshops and Technical Mentoring. We have conducted security workshops aimed at civil society organizations and human rights defenders. As part of these workshops, we generate documentation under a software libre license and in Spanish for the community, aiming to create autonomy with the shared knowledge and promote future research and practices. We work specifically with organizations that can capitalize on this technical knowledge for their own security strategy.
