IRC it's still freely available on the internet archive, although you should probably use do a quick google on how to stay genuinely private online if you're going to download it. Also, seem to remember there being some mistakes in it and far more interesting works out there.
My conclusion from some of much of what I read, and from talking with family who have lived under fascism, is that you're often better off working to rule, being a stickler, weaponized incompetence, malicious complaince, spreading gossip and dissent, and stuff like that. Less likely to endanger you or your family. Especially true if you're in a full blown authoritarian regime.
For example, blatant sabotage in Russia would quite probably result in your premature death. However, doing a sloppy job on maintenance, scraping stuff by accident, putting too much pressure on tools or wearing out the head and thread of screws and bolts, forgetting to lock a door, not oiling stuff properly so locks or machines seize, 'accidentaly' giving the enemy the location of important facilities, over tightening or under tightening screws and electrical contacts, letting the rain get in where it shouldn't, running engines full blast when they've not warmed up, and similar oopies might lead to a similar result without much of the risk.
US example: deliberately leaking files? Possible jail sentence or severe career consequences. Pretending to be an idiot who doesn't know how to properly censor stuff and simply uses a black highlighter or where they can easily be accessed? Likely you'll face far less issues.

Don't do that. Ask your chemist or ex military friend.
Though jokes aside the modern editions of the cookbook have a lot of mutual aid/how to organize a resistance type stuff in them

As others have said, this is generally not a helpful book. But if you like the idea of a book that can help build a better anarchistic future and resist our current predicament, I'd recommend reading Full Spectrum Resistance (available free on Archive.org)

The only people who ever ordered that crappy tome back in the 80s was the same kind of people who thought Soldier Of Fortune magazine was the height of journalistic integrity - ie, not self-respecting anarchists.
