Intrusion Kill Chain

Lockheed Martin, 2011

Seven phases from reconnaissance through weaponization, delivery, exploitation, installation, command and control, and actions on objectives.

Use

A first sequencing frame when you need to know what stage you are looking at.

Limit

Assumes a linear, malware-delivered, perimeter intrusion. It handles insiders, stolen credentials, and web-application attacks poorly.
