1 Joe Vest, James Tubberville Red Team Development and Operations
Data Collection
The collection of data drives the value of the engagement itself. Data collection should be complete,
enable the replication of activities and results, and identify items of significant interest to the operators. Final data sets should include:

Pre-event data (OSINT, ROE, POC list, etc.)

Execution data
Operator logs (manual data collection)
Automated data collection and logs
Screenshots

Post-event data (data archive, closeout brief if performed, and final report)
Activity Logs
All activities related to the Red Team operation should be logged as soon as the engagement begins and only terminate after all activity related to the engagement is completed.
Examples of events to be logged include:

Scanning activities

Exploit events

Stimulation efforts

Deconfliction requests

Target information discovered

Targets acquired and lost

System events (outages, downtime, etc.)

Login attempts

Credentials captured

Credentials used

Files system modifications

Modifying or disabling security controls

Modification or suppression of security alerts or logs

Methods of access

Methods of persistence employed

Command and Control channels established

Requests to increase, decrease, or pause activity

ROE conflicts, requests, and modifications
All data collected during the engagement should be logged, filed according to datatype, and stored in an engagement-specific file share, preferably in real time. As discussed in the Handling Client Data section, this file share should be located on a mountable, encrypted volume within a centralized server or NAS.
Focus Point

Its important to impose the value of failed actions. Many operators capture only successful actions performed during the engagement. In many instances, the failure of a specific action (and its associated details) provides more value to the target as well as to the Red Team than many successes.
