  • Employing secure virtual operational tradecraft methods and practices when conducting research.

  • Maintaining awareness of threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures to appropriately assess quality and credibility of operators, toolsets, and other offered services.

  • Identifying current and emerging cyber threats and trends, including technical information.

What You'll Need:

  • Experience using project management tools such as JIRA, as well as experience using message traffic handling systems and databases.

  • Motivated self-starter experienced with a wide variety of underground environments, to include hidden services and forums.

  • Must have experience with the full Intelligence Cycle to include collection, dissemination, and evaluation of raw information.

  • Understanding of technical terminology, slang, tools, and tactics employed by threat actors.

  • Basic to advanced understanding of computer technology, virtual machines, Internet protocols, and services.

  • Comprehensive, practical knowledge of research/collection tradecraft and analytical methods.

  • Comfortable navigating the deep and dark web, leveraging onion search engines, using VPNs, understanding cryptocurrencies and utilizing communication platforms.

Bonus Points:

  • Foreign language skills, particularly reading and writing (ex. Russian, Farsi, multiple dialects of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc.)

  • Prior intelligence community, human intelligence (HUMINT/Collection Management), counter-intelligence (CI), or cyber threat intelligence background.
