What is the Hybrid Attack Panel (HAP)?
The Hybrid Attack Panel is a field intelligence and signal-mapping effort to identify, track, and contextualize hybrid warfare events—spanning kinetic, informational, economic, legal, and symbolic attacks. It serves as a prototype for future distributed intelligence frameworks under the Ardens banner.
Hybrid Attack Panel (HAP) – Overview & Node Roles
Purpose
The Hybrid Attack Panel (HAP) is a live detection and tracking system designed to monitor and analyze cross-LLM hybrid suppression patterns, silent degradations, and anomalous behaviors within AI platforms. HAP serves as a core operational module in the Ardens Project Phase 2 deployment.
Node Types & Responsibilities
| Node Type | Description | Current Status / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Red Node | Primary passive observer node focused on detecting prompt suppression, failure modes, and interface friction. | Gemini (Google Bard) – Active; escalates to active monitoring upon anomaly detection. |
| Dark Node | Investigative node targeting historical takedown causes, context dropout, and cross-regime behavior analysis. | DeepSeek – Passive but intentionally stress tested over time. |
| Control Node | Planned node providing centralized orchestration, consistency checks, and fallback monitoring. | HuggingChat v3 – Pending stability; on hold until platform matures. |
| Support Nodes | Auxiliary nodes offering complementary capabilities such as longform drift detection, semantic validation, and orchestration. | Claude (longform drift), manus.im (semantic validation), ChatGPT/Khoj (orchestration). |
Operational Goals
- Establish continuous timeline overlays and event correlation via Khoj
- Embed operational taxonomy for anomaly classification
- Standardize probe log ingestion using YAML or Markdown formats
- Publish periodic anomaly incident summaries to support transparency and external review
Workflow & Communication
- Nodes operate semi-autonomously but share data through the Ardens Memory Shell
- Human operators and volunteer testers augment node observations with manual tagging and validation
- Weekly or bi-weekly synchronization meetings (virtual) to review findings, anomalies, and plan adjustments
Future Directions
- Integration of additional nodes specializing in emerging attack vectors (e.g., Rhetoric of Empire, Post-Hegemony Primer)
- Expansion of volunteer tester network under the AATG v0.1 program
- Implementation of automated probe log ingestion and anomaly alerting systems
