How HIIH works
HIIH loop step: SurfaceHIIH loop step: ObserveHIIH loop step: StructureHIIH loop step: Retrieve
From hostile traffic to a Finding your tools retrieve.
Selected exposure routes hostile activity into a controlled engagement environment separate from production. HIIH records what happens on the configured target, preserves the related observations and artifacts, structures selected activity into Findings and makes the available representation retrievable from the security workflows your team already runs.
01 · THE END-TO-END LOOP
A controlled loop from question to operational use.
Before the step-by-step depth, the whole model in one view. The loop starts with a question and ends with the result in a workflow.
Define the intelligence or detection question
Select the exposure and target profile
HIIH loop step: Surface
Route hostile interaction into the Surface
HIIH loop step: Surface
Sustain the configured level of engagement
HIIH loop step: Observe
Record observations and related artifacts
HIIH loop step: Structure
Structure a Finding when the activity supports one
HIIH loop step: Retrieve
Make the available representation retrievable from the workflow
Use the result for response, hunting, detection or briefing
Not every packet, scan or touch becomes a Finding. Raw events become observations; selected observations may support a structured Finding when there is sufficient context and operational relevance.
02 · THE LOOP IN THREE CHAPTERS
The loop is described in three short chapters. Read them in order, or jump to the stage you care about.

1 · Setting up the engagement
Define the question and its exposure, route hostile interaction into the controlled environment, and engage at the depth the question requires.

2 · From observation to delivery
Record and preserve the related material, structure a Finding when the activity supports one, and make it retrievable from the workflows your team already runs.

Two composite engagements traced from question to retrieval, alongside the published Research that demonstrates comparable observation capability.
