! Phase !! Tasks
|-
| '''Before''' || Create fresh persona (email, PGP, handles), provision burner VPS with clean billing chain, stage payload on dead-drop server or C2, validate tool integrity (hash/signatures), test full tunnel chain (e.g., VPN → Tor → Proxy), isolate environment (VM/Live OS), prepare fallback comms and exfil path.  
|-
| '''During''' || Log actions locally (encrypted, volatile), monitor system/network anomalies (latency, unexpected outbound traffic), rotate tunnels periodically, avoid command reuse, snapshot states pre- and post-access, maintain strict time discipline, capture volatile data as needed.  
|-
| '''After''' || Dismantle infrastructure (VPS teardown, domain deregistration), revoke or rotate all operational keys and secrets, securely wipe local logs and drives (`shred`, `wipe`, `cryptsetup luksErase`), verify no residuals (browser history, RAM, swap), analyze logs for OPSEC violations, document learnings into private OPSEC playbook or vault.
