Espionage
The DSI, SSB, AMR and OFI penetrated the VLA and other Victorian militant groups through the successful infiltration of undercover agents into the membership of separatist organisations, hacking and monitoring insurgent communication channels, planting of spyware on insurgent electronics and communication lines, and constant surveillance and monitoring of known insurgents with access to sensitive information. Through these tactics, CODEC intelligence succeeded in heavily penetrating a large number of resistance groups throughout the colony, allowing the SSB and OFI to thwart hundreds of planned attacks, while the DSI and AMR used the intelligence gathered in the planning of search-and-destroy operations, with conventional CDF forces able to effectively target base camps, supply caches, and support networks using the intelligence provided by infiltrators, double agents, informants and defectors. The intelligence gathered was also used to create a list of Victorians marked as high-value targets, including commanders, recruiters, fundraisers, smugglers, and terrorists.

Undercover agents were a highly effective method of gathering intelligence on VLA forces. A DSI field agent simply approached a known VLA recruiter, expressed an interest in joining, and was usually able to bypass the screening process due to the lack of an extensive background check and the inability of VLA recruiters to detect forged documents. Once in place, the agent activated an embedded tracking implant that constantly recorded their location, allowing their handler to constantly track the movements of the VLA unit they had penetrated.
