RunbooksDB Home Page
The RunbooksDB home page consists of five tabs:
Repositories: A set of processes that can be reused and have controlled access.
Procedures: A set of steps required to execute a tactic. For example, a procedure for browser extension-based persistence could describe how a malicious extension is injected to maintain persistence.
Techniques: A grouping of procedures. Techniques are added to a tactic for use in an engagement. For example, if a tactic is persistence, a technique could exist for browser extensions.
Tactics: A grouping of techniques. Tactics are added to a methodology for use in a runbook. This usually represents a type of attack, such as persistence or a privilege escalation from the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This can also be a logical grouping or structure for techniques.
Methodologies: A grouping of tactics that are put into a runbook. It contains a title, ID, description, and the series of tactics selected. Tactics can be chosen to apply to the methodology when used as a runbook. This is similar to how the MITRE ATT&CK is broken down, where the methodology represents the framework for TTPs.
Repositories Tab
PlexTrac provides a container for all instances called "PlexTrac Curated" that contains community-produced procedures on MITRE/CTI.
This repository contains over 1100 MITRE procedures from the ATT&CK matrix that can be leveraged. This repository is available to all users and cannot be deleted.
Once a test plan is imported, another repository called "Import" is created, which contains all procedures that were part of imported test plans.
The default repositories cannot be deleted.
Once added, any additional repositories will be displayed on the page alphabetically according to their title.
Each repository card provides the following information:
Repository Title
Repository Type: Open, Managed, or Private
Meatballs Menu: options to copy or delete the repository
Repository Description
Number of contained procedures
Number of added users
