Cyber Kill Chain

Cyber Kill Chain is a series of steps for tracing the stages of a cyberattack. The Steps include:

1. Reconnaissance: Attackers assess the situation to identify targets and tactics.
2. Intrusion: with malware or security vulnerabilities.
3. Exploitation: of vulnerabilities to deliver malicious code into the system.
4. Privilege Escalation: Attackers escalate their privileges to the level of Admin to gain access to data and permissions.
5. Lateral Movement: Attackers move laterally to other systems and accounts, gaining leverage, higher

permissions and more data and access.

1. Obfuscation/Anti-forensics: Attackers cover their tracks with false trails, compromise data, and clear logs to confuse forensics teams.
2. Denial of Service: Attackers disrupt access for users and systems to evade monitoring, tracking, or being blocked.
3. Exfiltration: Attackers extract data from the compromised system.
