MITRE ATT&CK Phases ### Attack Lifecycle ``` RECONNAISSANCE → INITIAL ACCESS → EXECUTION → PERSISTENCE ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ PRIVILEGE ESC → DEFENSE EVASION → CRED ACCESS → DISCOVERY ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ LATERAL MOVEMENT → COLLECTION → C2 → EXFILTRATION → IMPACT ``` ### Phase Objectives | Phase | Objective | |-------|-----------| | **Recon** | Map attack surface | | **Initial Access** | Get first foothold | | **Execution** | Run code on target | | **Persistence** | Survive reboots | | **Privilege Escalation** | Get admin/root | | **Defense Evasion** | Avoid detection | | **Credential Access** | Harvest credentials | | **Discovery** | Map internal network | | **Lateral Movement** | Spread to other systems | | **Collection** | Gather target data | | **C2** | Maintain command channel | | **Exfiltration** | Extract data | --- ## 2. Reconnaissance Principles ### Passive vs Active | Type | Trade-off | |------|-----------| | **Passive** | No target contact, limited info | | **Active** | Direct contact, more detection risk | ### Information Targets | Category | Value | |----------|-------| | Technology stack | Attack vector selection | | Employee info | Social engineering |...
