Any log that root on that box has write access to. It’s theoretically possible to have an anomaly detection service running on a vulnerable machine dumping all of its’ data to an append-only service on some other non-compromised box. In that case, (in this ideal world) the attacker would not be able to disable the detection service before it had logged the anomalous traffic, and wouldn’t be able to purge those logs since they were on another machine.

I’m not aware of any services that a) work like this, or b) would be able to detect this class of attack earlier than last week. If someone does though, please share.
