# T1119 - Automated Collection

## Description from ATT&CK

> Once established within a system or network, an adversary may use automated techniques for collecting internal data. Methods for performing this technique could include use of a [Command and Scripting Interpreter](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1059) to search for and copy information fitting set criteria such as file type, location, or name at specific time intervals.
> 
> In cloud-based environments, adversaries may also use cloud APIs, data pipelines, command line interfaces, or extract, transform, and load (ETL) services to automatically collect data.(Citation: Mandiant UNC3944 SMS Phishing 2023)
> 
> This functionality could also be built into remote access tools.
> 
> This technique may incorporate use of other techniques such as [File and Directory Discovery](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1083) and [Lateral Tool Transfer](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1570) to identify and move files, as well as [Cloud Service Dashboard](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1538) and [Cloud Storage Object Discovery](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1619) to identify resources in cloud environments.

### Atomic Test #1: Automated Collection Command Prompt

Automated Collection. Upon execution, check the users temp directory (%temp%) for the folder T1119_command_prompt_collection
to see what was collected.

**Supported Platforms:** Windows

**auto_generated_guid:** `cb379146-53f1-43e0-b884-7ce2c635ff5b`

#### Attack Commands: Run with `command_prompt`!

```cmd
mkdir %temp%\T1119_command_prompt_collection >nul 2>&1
dir c: /b /s .docx | findstr /e .docx
for /R c:\ %f in (*.docx) do copy /Y %f %temp%\T1119_command_prompt_collection
```

#### Cleanup Commands

```cmd
del %temp%\T1119_command_prompt_collection /F /Q >nul 2>&1
```
### Atomic Test #2: Automated Collection PowerShell

Automated Collection. Upon execution, check the users temp directory (%temp%) for the folder T1119_powershell_collection
to see what was collected.

**Supported Platforms:** Windows

**auto_generated_guid:** `634bd9b9-dc83-4229-b19f-7f83ba9ad313`

#### Attack Commands: Run with `powershell`!

```powershell
New-Item -Path $env:TEMP\T1119_powershell_collection -ItemType Directory -Force | Out-Null
Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Include *.doc | % {Copy-Item $_.FullName -destination $env:TEMP\T1119_powershell_collection}
```

#### Cleanup Commands

```powershell
Remove-Item $env:TEMP\T1119_powershell_collection -Force -ErrorAction Ignore | Out-Null
```
### Atomic Test #3: Recon information for export with PowerShell

collect information for exfiltration. Upon execution, check the users temp directory (%temp%) for files T1119_*.txt
to see what was collected.

**Supported Platforms:** Windows

**auto_generated_guid:** `c3f6d794-50dd-482f-b640-0384fbb7db26`

#### Attack Commands: Run with `powershell`!

```powershell
Get-Service > $env:TEMP\T1119_1.txt
Get-ChildItem Env: > $env:TEMP\T1119_2.txt
Get-Process > $env:TEMP\T1119_3.txt
```

#### Cleanup Commands

```powershell
Remove-Item $env:TEMP\T1119_1.txt -ErrorAction Ignore
Remove-Item $env:TEMP\T1119_2.txt -ErrorAction Ignore
Remove-Item $env:TEMP\T1119_3.txt -ErrorAction Ignore
```
### Atomic Test #4: Recon information for export with Command Prompt

collect information for exfiltration. Upon execution, check the users temp directory (%temp%) for files T1119_*.txt
to see what was collected.

**Supported Platforms:** Windows

#### Attack Commands: Run with `command_prompt`!

```cmd
sc query type=service > %TEMP%\T1119_1.txt
doskey /history > %TEMP%\T1119_2.txt
wmic process list > %TEMP%\T1119_3.txt
tree C:\AtomicRedTeam\atomics > %TEMP%\T1119_4.txt
```

#### Cleanup Commands

```cmd
del %TEMP%\T1119_1.txt >nul 2>&1
del %TEMP%\T1119_2.txt >nul 2>&1
