White Hat AI

R.A.I.D Teams

Use Case

White Hat AI’s R.A.I.D (Rapid Artificial Intelligence Defense) Teams are pre-positioned, remote-first response units built for the new class of incidents: ransomware outbreaks, coordinated disinformation, targeted harassment campaigns, and real-world emergencies where comms and intel fall apart first.

Instead of waiting until after the breach, organizations engage the R.A.I.D Team as a standing capability. Once onboarded as a Contributor, they gain access to the Red Alert Button: a hardened, encrypted escalation channel that can spin up an AI-powered response cell in minutes—not days.

R.A.I.D Teams blend OSINT experts, threat intelligence analysts, incident responders, comms leads, and edge-AI operators into a single, compartmentalized unit. Every engagement is anonymized, tightly scoped, and logged for stewardship—not marketing.

How the R.A.I.D Stack Works

Under the hood, White Hat AI runs on the same LAB0 edge architecture used in the Foundry:

  • LAB0 Edge Compute provides GPU/CPU nodes for running AI models, search tools, and secure comms gateways.
  • Reticulum MANET offers a resilient mesh backhaul for field units, mobile command vehicles, and remote analysts.
  • Secure Tooling (TAK servers, encrypted chat, OSINT dashboards and timelines, and run/playbooks) are layered on top of that edge fabric.

The result is a portable, repeatable incident response platform that can be staged in advance, then activated the moment something goes wrong.

Before R.A.I.D

Most organizations and communities face the same issues when things go sideways:

  • Ad-hoc group chats and email threads instead of a real command center.
  • Too many tools, not enough integration or logging.
  • Confusion over who’s in charge of what—and who can see what.
  • Delayed or fragmented intel: social feeds here, logs over there, rumors everywhere.

After R.A.I.D

With a R.A.I.D Team on standby as a Contributor service, they gain:

  • One pane of glass: A single encrypted environment for maps, logs, intel, and decisions.
  • Pre-built playbooks: Ransomware, targeted harassment, protest safety, wildfire / disaster coordination, and more.
  • OSINT firepower: Curated open-source intelligence AI Engine focused on local, reginal, national threats.
  • Edge-ready comms: ATAK rooms, radio / MANET integration, and offline-first tools for when infrastructure is degraded.

When the Red Alert Button is pressed, White Hat AI doesn’t improvise from scratch—it activates a pre-wired, AI-augmented incident response machine that the Contributor has already helped design and fund.

ATAK & Situational Awareness

R.A.I.D Teams treat situational awareness as a first-class problem, not an afterthought. Using ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit) as the shared map and mission workspace, they can bring field units, analysts, and decision-makers into the same live picture:

  • Blue-force tracking for vetted participants and units.
  • Map layers for hazards, safe zones, key infrastructure, and points of interest.
  • Overlays from OSINT, sensor feeds, and human reports fused into a single view.
  • Geo-tagged tasks, markers, and notes that update in real time over MANET or secure IP links.

Whether the incident is online, on the ground, or both, ATAK gives R.A.I.D operators and trusted partners a common operational picture that matches what the AI and OSINT tools are seeing.

Working with Law Enforcement

R.A.I.D Teams are not a replacement for law enforcement—they are a force multiplier. In OSINT-heavy cases such as coordinated harassment, doxxing, fraud, disinformation, or organized threat activity, White Hat AI focuses on collecting, preserving, and organizing open-source evidence in a way that can be handed off cleanly.

R.A.I.D operators:

  • Correlate public posts, domains, infrastructure, and timelines into clear, human-readable briefs.
  • Capture and timestamp volatile OSINT (social feeds, deleted posts, ephemeral content) for evidentiary support.
  • Separate speculation from facts, clearly labeling confidence levels and sources.
  • Provide law enforcement and legal teams with structured dossiers, not raw screenshots and rumor threads.

Whenever appropriate and requested by the affected party, R.A.I.D Teams coordinate with counsel and law enforcement so that the OSINT work product reinforces—not complicates—official investigations.

Why This Matters to Contributors

R.A.I.D isn’t a retail product; it’s a Contributor-only capability. It operates as a contributor-backed, open-source–driven security team you can call and deploy 24/7/365. Donors and partners help fund the research, hardware, and playbook development that make rapid AI defense possible. In return, they gain:

  • Priority access to the R.A.I.D Team during incidents.
  • The ability to shape new runbooks, tools, and play areas that match their real-world risks.
  • A way to pay-it-forward: every improvement to the R.A.I.D stack raises the baseline for the next community that needs help.

White Hat AI R.A.I.D Teams are what happens when edge compute, OSINT, and real-world comms are designed as a single system instead of a pile of disconnected tools. For Contributors, it means they don't face the next incident alone—and they don't have to build all of this from scratch.
