This is very useful, thanks for sharing.  I'd also add MATLAB to the
list of tools used -- keep in mind that "intelligence analyst" is
extremely broad as a descriptor.  Some of these people are low-level
ex-military 35F types, some have a classical statistics research
background, some are social scientists, some are dataviz experts, some
are linguists.  So try to distinguish between these and offer sources
when you can.
Oh, and Cellebrite devices for mobile data collection.
best,
Griffin

I use Tor for just about all my daily web browsing.
I also run a Tor relay from home. Even run my own mail server, XMPP and
Friendica nodes from home.
Guess that makes me an ultra-extremist.
The irony? I only decided to start using Tor by default for everything
once I became aware of the near total nature of passive surveillance.
So if using Tor makes me an 'extremist' well, please accept this heartfelt;

Really there's nothing to lose at this point by encrypting and anonymizing
every bit that leaves every computer you own.
If NSA wants to own my devices I'll keep cycling them out on a regular
basis with new and used gear I pay for in cash and pick up in person.
...
Conclusion: the world needs way more extremists. If they want cake, they
should get it in abundance.
I remember reading somewhere that on any given day in the 'United State'
there are a couple hundred thousand active Tor users. We should add
GnuNET, I2P, CJDNS, CurveCP and many more to that list.
I am Spartacus!!!
