An Adversary's Playbook is the organized collection of the Tools, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) employed during their attack lifecycle. As adversaries do not share their playbooks with defenders, we must derive them through observations of live attacks, shared information and intelligence analysis.
Pragmatic adversaries often re-use elements of attacks, so defenders can use the tracked data to identify attacks perpetrated by the same adversary and better prepare for future attacks.
Adversaries have a limited number of techniques they can employee when targeting a network; They share TTPs with others and that means a single defense can defend against multiple adversaries.
