    Study Notes

    Cyber Kill Chain

    • The cyber kill chain is a term coined by a computer scientist at Lockheed-Martin Corporation to describe the stages of a cyber attack.
    • The stages of a cyber attack, from start to finish, are: reconnaissance, weaponization, delivery, exploitation, installation, and command and control.

    Reconnaissance

    • The first stage of a cyber attack, where the attacker identifies a target device and searches for vulnerabilities.

    Weaponization

    • The second stage, where the attacker uses a remote tool kit and malware (such as viruses or worms) to address the identified vulnerabilities.

    Delivery

    • The third stage, where the threat actor injects cyber weapons into the victim network through various methods, including:
      • Phishing emails
      • Drive-by downloads
      • USB drives
      • Insiders

    Exploitation

    • The fourth stage, where the malware code is used to trigger the attack, taking action on the target network to exploit vulnerabilities.

    Installation

    • The fifth stage, where malware is installed on the victim machine.

    Command and Control

    • The final stage, where the malware allows the remote threat actor to gain access to the victim machine.
