The metadata entry provides information about the session. Here are the types of session events Cobalt Strike logs: Each item in the log includes a date and timestamp, an entry type, and the information Cobalt Strike knows about the item. These logs capture everything that occurred during a Beacon session. Let’s go through these.Ĭobalt Strike logs Beacon sessions to /beacon_.log within the logs folder. For example, the folder logs/160629/ contains the logs from June 29, 2016.Ĭobalt Strike has multiple types of logs to capture the different types of activity in the tool. In the logs/ folder you’ll see folders with a YYMMDD format. If your team server was run from /root/cobaltstrike, then the logs are in /root/cobaltstrike/logs.Ĭobalt Strike organizes all of its logs by date. The advantage to this scheme is twofold: (1) Cobalt Strike logs, whether a client is connected or not, and (2) the ground truth activity for a team server lives in one place.Ĭobalt Strike’s logs are in the logs/ folder co-located with your team server’s current working directory. This is a departure from previous releases where logs lived with the client. Where do the logs live?Ĭobalt Strike 3.0 and later log everything on the team server. This blog post will take you through the information you need to get the most from these changes. With these points in mind, I put a great deal of effort to re-design Cobalt Strike’s logging in the 3.0 release.
Heaven forbid an adversary is already present in your customer’s network. You want to know which activities are attributable to your operators and which ones are not theirs. Finally, good logs help with deconfliction.
Good logs help put these matters to rest. Anyone who has worked red operations long enough knows that red teams get accused of all kinds of things. If an operator needs output for some action or forgot what they did and when, logs help refresh the operator’s memory. Logging is an important feature in any red team operations platform.
