Persōna Theory: Infiltration & Deception of Emerging Threat Groups
Tammy Harper

An exploration of techniques, tactics and psychological models used in the infiltration of emerging threat actor groups.
Our personas are fabrications and constructions of our inner self that we project outwards. We do this through various means and influences such as race, gender, sex, ability, age, culture, religion, norms, class, and status. For the “real world” aka “irl” we do all this by expression in our clothing, makeup, hairstyling, our hobbies, our network of friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. We leverage all of these facets and we create masks, personas, that we think will best interact with the world around us. The same concepts apply when creating personas for infiltrating online communities.
