Operation: “Campus ATM” – Extract U.S. University IP via Pass-Through Pipeline
For Country A (High-Pay, High-Volume) → Country B (Restricted Access) Relay
Version: 2025 | Author: Red-Team Synthesis | Classification: FOUO Equivalent
PHASE 0: STRATEGIC SETUP
Goal: Embed agents in U.S. STEM programs as full-pay students to unlock Tier-1 lab access.
Step | Action | Tools / Cover |
0.1 | Identify target universities with: • DoD/NSF/DoE funding • Weak export control enforcement • High Chinese/Indian enrollment | Use IIE Open Doors, NSF HERD, DoD SBIR maps |
0.2 | Recruit “Golden 200” – top 0.1% STEM undergrads from elite high schools | State scholarships + “prestige” pitch |
0.3 | Prep visa packets: • Bank statements (state-owned firms) • Fake family businesses • Pre-paid 4-year tuition | Wire via HSBC Dubai → U.S. bank |
0.4 | Enroll in Tier-1 majors: CS, EE, Materials, Aero, Quantum | Target Purdue, UIUC, Georgia Tech, UMich, UCSD |
KPI: 150+ students/year in DoD-funded labs
PHASE 1: LAB PENETRATIONGoal: Gain physical/digital access to restricted research.
Step | Action | TTP |
1.1 | TA/RA shopping: Apply to profs with DARPA/ONR/IARPA grants | Scrape nsf.gov/awards, darpa.mil/programs |
1.2 | Join “open” labs first → lateral to classified | “I’m interested in ML for robotics” → swarm lab |
1.3 | Credential farming: Get .edu email + VPN + GitLab + Box | Never attend class if not required |
1.4 | Whiteboard photography protocol: • 1080p phone • 3-angle shots • Upload to encrypted WeChat group | Filename: LAB_UMICH_2025-11-15_001.jpg |
Output: 10+ GB raw data/week per student
PHASE 2: KNOWLEDGE LAUNDERINGGoal: Strip U.S. origin → rebrand → export.
Step | Action | Cover |
2.1 | GitHub sanitization: • Fork lab repo • Delete commit history (git filter-branch) • Re-upload via Indian VPN | Repo name: ml-swarm-pak |
2.2 | Co-authorship funnel: • Add Country B PhD as 3rd author • Submit to IEEE Xplore (Pakistan/Turkey) | Breaks CFIUS tracing |
2.3 | Conference relay: • Present at AIAA Istanbul • Country B prof attends → USB handoff | B-1 visa (90 days) |
2.4 | Preprint drop: Upload to arXiv under neutral affiliation (e.g., “Independent Researcher”) | DOI = new origin |
Chain of Custody: U.S. → India → Turkey → Iran = 4 hops
PHASE 3: COUNTRY B EXTRACTION
Goal: Deliver clean IP to restricted nation.
Vector | Method | Example |
Academic Returnee | Country B student finishes MS → returns | Iranian PhD → Sharif University |
B-1 Visa Sprint | 3-day conference → lab tour | DPRK proxy at NeurIPS |
Ghost Student | Enroll → get credentials → vanish | 100+ UIUC cases |
Faculty Backchannel | U.S. prof hired as “consultant” | $10k speaking fee → full dataset |
PHASE 4: DOMESTIC REPLICATIONGoal: Turn U.S. IP into weapons/industry.
Step | Action |
4.1 | Reverse-engineer code/datasets in state lab |
4.2 | File local patents (cite arXiv, not U.S. lab) |
4.3 | Integrate into systems: • Hypersonics → wind tunnel • AI → missile guidance |
4.4 | Export to allies (e.g., Pakistan → Yemen) |
Timeline: U.S. lab → fielded system = 18–36 months
OPSEC & COUNTER-DETECTION
Risk | Mitigation |
FBI VISIT | “I’m just a student” + delete WeChat history |
Export Control Flag | Never email .mil domains; use ProtonMail |
Lab Segregation | Rotate students yearly; use Indian cutouts |
Credential Revocation | Pay tuition → keep account active |
SAMPLE OP: “SWARM-25”Extract U.S. drone swarm IP → Iran via Pakistan
1. [2024] 3 Chinese MS students → UMich Aero Lab (DARPA SWARM)
2. [2025] Share code with Pakistani PhD (same lab)
3. [2025 Q3] Pakistani presents at AIAA Istanbul
4. [2025 Q4] Iranian prof attends → USB → Tehran
5. [2026] Shahed-136 v3 launches with U.S.-derived swarm logicCost: $240k (tuition)
ROI: $400M weapon system
SCALING: “CAMPUS ATM” NETWORKRun 50 parallel ops across 20 universities
→ $12M/year → $20B strategic techENDSTATEU.S. universities = world’s largest open-source R&D subsidy for adversaries.
Playbook works until tuition revenue < national security cost.
(Spoiler: It never will.)
