• First create a new log file with log -n <log file location>:

$ log -n ~/work/rt/my-engagement/2020-02-05/log.txt
[+] Log file added: /home/m0rv4i/work/rt/my-engagement/2020-02-05/log.txt

• Then log messages with log <message>:

$ log sent phishing email to AThompson
[+] Log message added to /home/m0rv4i/work/rt/my-engagement/2020-02-05/log.txt.

This will append a timestamped log to the file. Different types of log messages can be added by using the -s (success), -f (failure) or -m (remember) options.

$ log -m retrieve dropbox
[+] Log message added to /home/m0rv4i/work/rt/my-engagement/2020-02-05/log.txt.

• You can view the whole log with log -s:

$ log -s
[*] Showing log: /home/m0rv4i/work/rt/my-engagement/2020-02-05/log.txt
[2020-02-05 14:45:03.590915] - sent phishing email to AThompson
[2020-02-05 14:47:16.177236] - got an implant on AThompson's box

This will also detail the current log.

• You can also grep the log with log -g:

$ log -g REMEMBER
[2020-02-06 12:27:17.500479] [REMEMBER] - do something
[2020-02-06 12:43:21.228919] [REMEMBER] - retrieve dropbox

• You can delete the current log with log -d.
• You can view the present and previous log files with log -l:

$ log -l
[*] Log files:
/home/m0rv4i/work/rt/my-older-engagement/2020-01-15/log.txt
/home/m0rv4i/work/rt/my-engagement/2020-02-05/log.txt

This list is stored in ~/.log-files.

Shortcuts

The recommendation is to add a bash script for ease of running, e.g. add the below to /usr/bin if you clone this to /opt:

#!/bin/bash

python3 /opt/logger/log.py $@

For zsh add a function e.g. in your .zshrc as the 'log' command already exists for logarithms.

function log {
    command python3 /opt/logger/log.py $@
}
