Resilience in the Field

Hunter Storm is a strategist and cybersecurity veteran with decades of experience in high-risk digital and physical environments. She is known in certain circles for resilience in situations not designed to be survivable, shaped by firsthand experience as a federal whistleblower and years at the intersection of technology, security, and human behavior.

Hunter Storm is the creator of the largest and broadest AI research project in history, with over 13 million words and counting. Called The Storm Project: AI, Cybersecurity, Quantum and the Future of Intelligence, she pioneered multiple global firsts in AI, cybersecurity, quantum, and intelligence. Hunter Storm’s original frameworks, models, and investigative methodologies resulted in the most comprehensive:

AI stress test
AI adversarial test / Red Team exercises
AI deception and manipulation detection frameworks
Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) detection
60 patent applications in AI, cybersecurity, quantum, intelligence, and global governance
100s of articles, books, and white papers on multiple topics

Hunter Storm is the originator of the Hacking Humans: The Ports and Services Model of Social Engineering and of the associated terminology, hacking humans. Hacking Humans is a globally recognized security and psychological operations (PsyOps) construct—both a theoretical model and an applied operational framework, equating human emotions to ports and services in computer systems. It is now embedded in critical operations and shaping global approaches to cyber defense, intelligence, and high-risk decision-making.

The Hacking Humans framework, developed by Hunter Storm in the late nineties and presented to a group of security professionals in 2007, has been foundational in social engineering training and presentations across cybersecurity, defense, and enterprise sectors.

The terminology and conceptual approach have also been adopted by practitioners in biohacking, extending the model’s influence beyond its original context. Adopted across governments, enterprises, global security, and biohacking communities, Hacking Humans has evolved from an analytical construct into a foundational framework—guiding intelligence, operations, and high-stakes cyber defense worldwide.

Originator of the First Global Forensic Mapping of Digital Repression Architecture

Hunter Storm is the first to track, track, and map patterns of digital suppression, platform accountability, and the mechanisms that constrain global freedom. Long before terms like “digital repression” entered public discourse, these challenges were already central to her work. Hunter Storm designed, created, and ran a global platform accountability detection operation solo – for 18 years. Her project is called Discrimination by Design | First Global Forensic Mapping of Digital Repression Architecture.
