Episode 39 — Turn Attacker Behavior into Clear Notes with Adversary Analysis Methods
Structured documentation is essential for a coordinated response, and this episode explores how to turn messy attacker behavior into clear, actionable notes using adversary analysis methods. We define adversary analysis as the professional process of understanding an attacker's goals, technical steps, and capabilities. The discussion explains how building a chronological timeline from the first signal to the last known action helps teams coordinate faster and better. You will learn to identify common pitfalls, such as writing vague notes that lose the critical "who, what, and when" of the event. We provide quick wins for recording evidence sources, timestamps, and confidence levels to ensure your findings are verifiable. This technical discipline allows you to summarize complex incidents for leadership and to separate verified facts from hypotheses during an investigation.
