📜 Playbook — Technical Intelligence collection

  1. Direction — frame the requirement for Technical Intelligence: what decision does this support, by when?
  2. Collection — collect from the 7 mapped sources (7 free) — filter the catalog by TECHINT; capture provenance and observe OPSEC.
  3. Processing — normalize, de-duplicate and enrich the collected data.
  4. Analysis — correlate against local holdings; apply ACH; assign confidence.
  5. Dissemination — open a case, draft a report, share via STIX/MISP.
  6. Feedback — set an alert rule / watchlist to monitor for change.

🎯 Mission

Technical Intelligence exploits foreign materiel, hardware, components and supply chains — through teardowns, component markings, datasheets and trade-flow records — to characterize the performance and provenance of adversary systems. It answers what a captured or observed system can do, where its components come from, and which supply-chain chokepoints it depends on.

📡 Collection methods

  • Teardown and bill-of-materials analysis of boards and components to fingerprint suppliers
  • Component marking and datecode decoding for manufacturing provenance
  • Import/export trade-flow analysis via HS codes and bills of lading
  • Firmware and technical-manual exploitation for specifications
  • Photogrammetry and dimensional measurement from equipment imagery
  • Serial number, nameplate and FCC ID exploitation
  • Vendor datasheet and standards correlation to confirm part identity

🔧 Tools & frameworks

  • ImportYeti
  • UN Comtrade Explorer
  • FCC ID Search
  • Octopart
  • QGIS
  • Maltego
  • OpenRefine

📜 Technical Intelligence Tradecraft

  1. Acquire teardown imagery, component markings and matching trade records for the target system
  2. Decode part numbers, datecodes and FCC IDs to identify manufacturers and production lots
  3. Reconstruct the bill of materials and map the supplier and supply-chain dependency graph
  4. Trace components to real manufacturers and shipment routes via HS codes and bill-of-lading data
  5. Issue a capability and supply-chain vulnerability assessment
  6. Cue sanctions and GEOINT collection on chokepoint suppliers and their facilities
