Tradecraft is a way of doing things that helps you keep things secret or get information that you need. It’s like a bunch of secrets that people use to do things without others finding out.
Think of it like playing a game of hide and seek. You want to find your friend, but you don’t want anyone else to know where he’s hiding. So you use some tricks to find him without letting anyone else know. Maybe you sneak around quietly, listen for sounds or clues, or use codes to communicate with him without others understanding.
In the same way, people use tradecraft to keep secrets or gather information without others finding out. They might use secret codes to talk, disguise themselves to blend in, or use gadgets like a spy camera or bugs to listen to what others are saying.
But remember, just like in a game of hide and seek, it’s important to use tradecraft responsibly and not to hurt others or break rules.
