    information itself is a liability. best to have a policy of ‘we keep no IPs in logs, so are happy to hand over whatever’… dump data the moment you dont require it

      yeah, this sounds like a much more sustainable solution. Do it the way signal does it. Collect as little as necessary, and delete it as soon as you dont need it.

      Just store what logs you need on a ram drive. The logs will be gone the instant the server shuts down and there is no way to recover them.

        Downsides include : if any intrusion happens on the server, red team just needs to reboot it to wipe evidence.

          If they have the root access typically needed to reboot a server1 they could also just wipe the logs without rebooting.

          1: GUIs typically have a way to reboot without such privileges, but those are typically not installed on machines just used as servers.
