ExecutionIn the execution phase of an attack, the attacker runs malicious code on a system to achieve their objectives, which may include establishing persistence, gaining privileges, or preparing for lateral movement. Execution techniques range from using various shells and interpreters to leveraging scheduled tasks or system management tools like WMI on Windows systems.1. Shells & Interpreters..

Initial AccessInitial access is the phase in which attackers first gain unauthorized entry into a target environment. This stage sets the foundation for further exploitation and persistence within the system. Attackers use a variety of methods to achieve initial access, including phishing, hardware placements, supply chain compromise, and exploiting public-facing applications.1. PhishingDefiniti..

Resource DevelopmentIn the attack structure, resource development is a preparatory phase where attackers gather or create the tools, infrastructure, and credentials needed for an attack. This phase equips attackers with the resources necessary to initiate and sustain their operation. Here’s a look at specific tactics within resource development, including getting infrastructure, building malware..

ReconnaissanceIn the attack structure, reconnaissance is the initial stage where attackers gather information about a target to plan their approach. This stage is crucial, as it helps attackers understand the target’s systems, personnel, and potential vulnerabilities without directly interacting with the systems. Here’s a closer look at reconnaissance and some specific methods like OSINT, Google..
