During theReconnaissancephase of theCyber Kill Chain, attackers gather information about the target system:
* Purpose:Identify network topology, open ports, services, and potential vulnerabilities.
* Tools:Nmap is commonly used for network and port scanning during this phase.
* Data Collection:Results provide insights into exploitable entry points or weak configurations.
* Red Team Activities:Typically include passive and active scanning to understand the network landscape.
Incorrect Options:
* A. Exploitation:Occurs after vulnerabilities are identified.
* B. Delivery:The stage where the attacker delivers a payload to the target.
* D. Weaponization:Involves crafting malicious payloads, not scanning the network.
Exact Extract from CCOA Official Review Manual, 1st Edition:
Refer to Chapter 8, Section "Cyber Kill Chain," Subsection "Reconnaissance Phase" - Nmap is commonly used to identify potential vulnerabilities during reconnaissance.
