Virtual machine. It is basically a program you can open that functions like a separate computer. The program dedicates some hardware resources and you install an OS of your choice. This has miltiple advantages: for the described purpose in the example above, the VM provides you with a fresh machinewhere you have not done any customization that would make you identifible. Other uses include e.g. using Windows software inside a Linux installation or experimenting with viruses (which would usually attack the sandboxed VM and not your actual OS).
As someone whos worked in IT, many government entities bypass spam rules because normal emails get blocked all the time, and Jim the police chief realllyyy wants his golf highlights weekly email (and he decides if theyre gonna employ us next quarter)
Just remember that you shouldn’t use your normal email or OS, and you shouldn’t send it from a device that you use regularly
This is what McDonald’s free wifi is for.
Last I tried ‘free’ McDonalds WiFi, they blocked every site except mcdonalds.com, so that’s a no-go, at least in my region of southern Mississippi :(
That site is AWS hosted. Chances are, Tor’s meek will function.
OR you just missed a captive portal.
TOR + disposable email + VM = way more effort to track you down than any agency is going to be willing to commit

Yep, everything sensitive i do lives in VMs using TOR that get destroyed the moment the task is completed. Pretty good general advice.
Sadly, many email anti-spam and anti-virus software check for zip bombs before the email ever reaches the targets inbox

maybe wrapping the zip bomb in a zip quine helps? https://github.com/ruvmello/zip-quine-generator
