# Event Forwarding Guidance
This repository hosts content for aiding administrators in collecting security relevant Windows event logs using Windows Event Forwarding (WEF). This repository is a companion to [Spotting the Adversary with Windows Event Log Monitoring](https://apps.nsa.gov/iaarchive/library/ia-guidance/security-configuration/applications/assets/public/upload/Spotting-the-Adversary-with-Windows-Event-Log-Monitoring.pdf) paper. The list of events in this repository are more up to date than those in the paper.
The repository contains:
* [Recommended Windows events](./Events/) to collect. Regardless of using WEF or a third party SIEM, the list of recommended events should be useful as a starting point for what to collect. The list of events in this repository are more up to date than those in the paper.
* [Scripts](./scripts/) to create custom Event Log views and create WEF subscriptions.
* [WEF subscriptions](./Subscriptions/) in XML format.
