gets cargo culted by the tools brigade

I have lived this. And I'm still trying to get myself dishonorably discharged from the tools brigade.

Gotta critique you on this, though:

Identify who your threat actors are, at work we use the following classifications

It's hard to get across how low, really low, the confidence should be in those identifications, which I've rarely seen based on much beyond past history, the results of garden variety monitoring tools, and intuition. I'm speaking from bitter personal experience here, and from my on and off reading of Hubbard and Seiersen.
