The Cyber Kill Chain Stages
The research, identification and selection of targets.
Preparing and delivering malware (viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransomware, spyware etc.) into a deliverable payload for delivery to the target.
Transmission of weapon i.e. malware or ransomware to the target via email attachments, websites, USB drives, etc.
Using a vulnerability in the target system to execute code.
Installing malware on computer devices from a remote location.
The establishment of remote command and control to manipulate victims.
