== Derivative usages == === Sabotage radio === A sabotage radio was a small [[two-way radio]] designed for use by [[resistance movement]]s in World War II, and after the war often used by [[exploration|expeditions]] and similar parties. === Cybotage === Arquilla and Rondfeldt, in their work entitled ''Networks and Netwars'', differentiate their definition of "[[netwar]]" from a list of "trendy synonyms", including "cybotage", a portmanteau from the words "sabotage" and "[[Internet-related prefixes|cyber]]". They dub the practitioners of cybotage "cyboteurs" and note while all cybotage is not netwar, some netwar is cybotage.<ref>{{cite book|title=Networks and Netwars|year=2001|publisher=RAND|isbn=0-8330-3030-2|editor1=John Arquilla|editor2=David Ronfeldt|pages=[https://archive.org/details/networksnetwars00john/page/5 5β7]|url=https://archive.org/details/networksnetwars00john/page/5}}</ref> === Counter-sabotage === Counter-sabotage, defined by ''[[Webster's Dictionary]]'', is "counterintelligence designed to detect and counteract sabotage". The [[United States Department of Defense]] definition, found in the ''Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms'', is "action designed to detect and counteract sabotage. See also [[counterintelligence]]". ==== In World War II ==== During World War II, British subject [[Eddie Chapman]], trained by the Germans in sabotage, became a double agent for the British. The German [[Abwehr]] entrusted Chapman to destroy the British de Havilland Company's main plant which manufactured the outstanding Mosquito light bomber but required photographic proof from their agent to verify the mission's completion. A special unit of the Royal Engineers known as the Magic Gang covered the de Havilland plant with canvas panels and scattered papier-mΓ’chΓ© furniture and chunks of masonry around three broken and burnt giant generators. Photos of the plant taken from the air reflected devastation for the factory and a successful sabotage mission, and Chapman, as a British sabotage double-agent, fooled the Germans for the duration of the war.<ref>{{cite book|last=Marrin|first=Albert|title=The Secret Armies|year=1985|publisher=Atheneum|location=New York|isbn=0-689-31165-6|page=24}}</ref> === Self-sabotage === {{Redirect|Self sabotage|the Graace EP|Self Sabotage}} {{further|Identification with the Aggressor|Self-destructive behavior|Self-deception|Masters of suspicion|Ethnomasochism}} In psychology, self-sabotage is defined as behaviour that undermines one's own existing or potential achievements.
