Verify ReleasesSignatures. Hashes. Trust nothing blindly.
Every release is GPG-signed and hashed. Verify before you read.
What We Publish
PDF Guide
thgtoa.pdf and thgtoa-dark.pdf — the full guide in light and dark mode. The only canonical single-file export.
Detached Signatures
.asc files for every PDF and hash file, signed with the Release Signing Key (RSK). Verify with gpg --verify.
Hash Files
sha256sums.txt and b2sums.txt for integrity. Both are also signed. Check with sha256sum -c or b2sum -c.
Quick Verification
Using the Python Script (Recommended)
# Verify everything — hashes, signatures, and optionally VirusTotal
python scripts/verify_pdf.py --all
# Hashes only
python scripts/verify_pdf.py --hashes
# GPG signatures only
python scripts/verify_pdf.py --signatures
# VirusTotal scan status (requires VT_API_KEY env var)
python scripts/verify_pdf.py --vt
Manual Verification
1. Import the key
gpg --import pgp/anonymousplanet.asc
Verify the fingerprint against our PGP page and GitHub releases before trusting it.
2. Verify the PDFs
gpg --verify export/thgtoa.pdf.asc export/thgtoa.pdf
gpg --verify export/thgtoa-dark.pdf.asc export/thgtoa-dark.pdf
Expected output:
gpg: Signature made Sun 31 May 2026 03:23:26 AM EDT
gpg: using EDDSA key C3023DBEA3FB38C438BA1EEDCEC60AEDE8B992A2
gpg: Good signature from "Anonymous Planet Release Signing Key" [ultimate]
Primary key fingerprint: C302 3DBE A3FB 38C4 38BA 1EED CEC6 0AED E8B9 92A2
!!! note "About the WARNING"
WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature is expected. It means the key has not been co-signed by another key in your web of trust — not that the signature is invalid.
3. Check hashes
=== "Linux / macOS"
```sh
sha256sum -c sha256sums.txt
b2sum -c b2sums.txt
```
=== "Windows (PowerShell)"
```powershell
Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 export\thgtoa.pdf | Select-Object Hash
# Compare with the value in thgtoa.pdf.sha256
```
4. VirusTotal (optional)
export VT_API_KEY=your_vt_api_key
python scripts/verify_pdf.py --vt
Or open the VirusTotal report URLs listed in the release notes directly.
Troubleshooting
"Good signature" but wrong owner?
Ensure you imported the correct key from pgp/. Check the fingerprint matches the RSK: C302 3DBE A3FB 38C4 38BA 1EED CEC6 0AED E8B9 92A2.
Hash mismatch? Re-download the file. Verify you are using the correct hash file for the edition (light vs dark). Check for disk errors.
