Reconnaissance

A SPARTA tactic: the objective an adversary is pursuing. SPARTA files 36 techniques under this one. See every tactic at once on the tactic matrix, or all techniques in the technique index.

Description

Threat actor is trying to gather information they can use to plan future operations.

Reproduced verbatim from SPARTA v4.0, including its own citation markers, spelling and formatting. Nothing in the text above is SafeMode Space's wording, and nothing has been corrected.
