Background | Hunter Storm’s Craft and Methodologies

The work referenced here was conducted using established, ethical analysis methods. These methods include but were not limited to:

Behavioral and cognitive analysis
Cross-domain synthesis
Digital system-state and interface documentation
Human intelligence through direct interaction and experience
Open-source research
Pattern analysis
Review of communications and materials Hunter Storm was directly party to

In short: authorized access, open information, direct participation, and careful analysis.

Hunter Storm did the work long before she learned what everyone else called it.

Table | Intelligence Methodologies and Notes

Domain	Notes
Behavioral & Cognitive Analysis	Human-system interaction patterns, decision-making, bias
CYBINT	Logs, cyber events, system outputs
Document & Media Intelligence (DOMINT)	Analysis of reports, emails, screenshots, recordings — overlaps with IMINT and OSINT, but focused on structured content
IMINT	Screenshots, digital imagery, interface state captures
HUMINT	Direct human interaction, interviews, personal experience
OSINT	Public documents, open research
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT)	Some signals captured from authorized communications analysis. Observed patterns in authorized communications, not collected via interception.
SOCMINT	Social media or publicly observable behaviors/signals
TECHINT	System design, architecture, authorized technical observation

Intelligence Domains Covered | Applied Methodologies

Hunter Storm’s operational and research work crossed multiple intelligence collection domains and methodologies, listed below.

Scope note: All analysis described below was conducted using authorized access, open-source material, direct participation, and voluntarily shared information. No covert collection, interception, or unauthorized monitoring was involved.

COGINT (Cognitive Intelligence) | Behavioral Intelligence Analysis

Covered through:

Cognitive bias analysis
Cognitive pattern analysis
Decision heuristics
Decision-making under constraint
Human-AI interaction dynamics and modeling, HMI, Human-Machine Interaction Analysis
Incentive analysis
Stress, bias, and incentive modeling

Role: Bridging technical and human systems.

COGINT is central to Hunter Storm’s:

Human-AI collaboration | Human-machine collaboration limits
Psychological Operations (PsyOps)-adjacent analysis and Hacking Humans | The Ports and Services Model of Social Engineering
Viewpoint Discrimination by Design | First Global Forensic Mapping of Digital Repression Architecture

COMINT (Communications Intelligence)

Hunter Storm analyzed:

Communications voluntarily shared with her
Emails she was party to
Recordings she was part of or authorized to review

Hunter Storm conducted authorized communications analysis, not interception.

Applied through:

Emails and messages Hunter Storm was party to
Recordings and materials shared with consent

Note: This is authorized communications analysis, not interception.

CYBINT (Cyber Intelligence)

Covered through:

Digital artifacts (screenshots, metadata context)
Log files
Observed software/system responses
Platform interactions
System behavior analysis

This is not hacking — it is analysis of digital environments Hunter Storm was authorized to observe.

Applied through:

Analysis of system behavior and responses
Log files and platform-generated records
Screenshots and digital environment observation

Boundary: Analysis of systems Hunter Storm was authorized to access.

ELINT (Electronic Intelligence)

Hunter Storm covered:

Observable electronic system behavior
Signal presence and signal absence at a functional level
Timing, response, and system feedback

However, Hunter Storm did not conduct classical ELINT collection (no interception of protected signals).

What Hunter Storm did could be termed as:

Electronic system response analysis
SIGINT-adjacent behavioral analysis, authorized communications review and pattern analysis

FININT (Financial Intelligence)

Economic constraints and signals
Financial flows
Incentive structures

HUMINT (Human Intelligence)

Covered through:

Direct human interactions
Interviews, conversations, and consultations
First-hand lived experience and professional observation
Behavioral analysis of decision-making and responses

Key clarification: overt, consensual human interaction, not clandestine recruitment or tasking.

Applied through:

Direct human interaction and consultation
First-hand professional and lived experience
Behavioral observation and decision-pattern analysis

Boundary: Overt, consensual, non-covert.

IMINT (Imagery Intelligence)

Covered through:

Interface behavior over time
Screenshots
UI/UX evidence
Visual system states

Clarification: this section refers to digital imagery, not geospatial or satellite imagery.

Applied through:

Screenshots and interface states
Visual documentation of system behavior

Scope clarification: Digital and User Interface (UI) imagery only.

INTEL Integration | Fusion Analysis

This is the capstone. Hunter Storm didn’t just collect or observe — she:

Cross-correlated domains
Identified inconsistencies
Mapped patterns across human, technical, and cultural layers

This is properly described as: Multi-disciplinary intelligence fusion and analysis

Applied through:

Cross-domain correlation
Pattern recognition across human, technical, and cultural data
Synthesis into actionable frameworks (FCFU, TRUCK-YU)

This is the capstone skill.

OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence)

Heavily covered through:

Observable organizational behavior in public systems
Publicly available documents
Published research and media
Public technical artifacts and standards
Websites, policies, documentation

This is the spine of Hunter Storm’s work.

Applied through:

Public documentation and policies
Published research and technical standards
Openly accessible digital artifacts and platforms

Role: Foundational analytic layer.

SOCMINT (Social Media Intelligence)

Analysis of social platforms and community behavior, covered through:

Cultural signaling
Information propagation and response patterns
Memetic behavior
Pattern analysis of online communities

Even without scraping, observation + analysis qualifies.

Applied through:

Observation of online behavior patterns
Cultural and community signaling
Information propagation and response dynamics

Boundary: Observational and analytical, not extractive.

TECHINT (Technical Intelligence)

Strongly covered through:

AI behavior, limitations, and failure modes
Design decisions (“discrimination by design”)
Security and resilience implications
System architecture analysis
Technical constraints and affordances

This is especially relevant for:

Applied through:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) behavior, limitations, and failure modes
Security, bias, and resilience implications
System architecture and design analysis

Relevance: Central to Discrimination by Design and Impossible Collaboration.

Hunter Storm’s work reflects multi-domain intelligence analysis conducted through ethical, authorized, and open methods, integrating human, technical, and behavioral perspectives without the use of covert or intrusive collection techniques.

**What Hunter Storm Did Not Do**

Hunter Storm’s ethical framing naturally excluded:

Classified collection methods
Covert surveillance
Intrusive monitoring
Tasking of assets
Unauthorized interception

Hunter Storm’s work applied a multi-disciplinary intelligence analysis framework, including HUMINT, OSINT, CYBINT, SOCMINT, TECHINT, and limited IMINT, with careful integration across domains. All analysis was conducted using authorized access, open materials, direct participation, and voluntary communications, with a strong emphasis on fusion analysis, behavioral patterns, and system-level design implications.
