Ten pieces of real tradecraft that intelligence services teach on day one and nobody ever teaches you.

The gray man. Kim's Game. Surveillance detection. Elicitation. The one time pad. The five second window. The ninety percent rule. Pattern of life. The neighbours in Montclair. And the tap code.

None of it needs a badge, a gadget or a budget.
