HUMINT

Human intelligence. Collection through direct contact with people: agent recruitment and handling, debriefing, interrogation, elicitation, surveillance, cover, source meetings.

HUMINT covers the long-running case-management around recruited sources, walk-ins, defectors, public officials, and informants; for the cyber operator, the social-engineering pretext development and insider-threat surfaces around the target.

The pages under this section follow the operator’s standard working set:

• HUMINT Tools for the operator’s daily kit.

• HUMINT Sources for the data sources collection draws from.

• HUMINT Techniques for the tradecraft applied to those sources.

• HUMINT Intel for the finished-product side, production cycle, and consumers.

• HUMINT APIs for the programmatic data sources the operator pulls from.
