This site explains the basics of the seven steps of the Cyber Kill Chain for students and professionals new to the cybersecurity space.
Many new to the field of cybersecurity think of recon, exploitation, and command and control as isolated terms. This site organizes them into a coherent framework so readers can understand how each stage dovetails into the next and how defenders can prevent attackers from reaching the next step.
Information gathering to advance the attacker's understanding of their target. Reveals entry points around which the attackers design their payload, i.e. what they wish to use to attack their target.
How an attacker sends the payload they designed to their target and triggers it once received by the target.
The attacker runs commands after gaining control, establishes control over the target, and moves towards objectives.
This project is in no way meant to provide attack instructions. We want to help people new to the cybersecurity space recognize how adversaries think so they can better detect, prevent, and respond to malicious activity.
