PCDRA · Question #49
Which of the following represents a common sequence of cyber attack tactics?
The correct answer is D. Reconnaissance >> Weaponisation & Delivery >> Exploitation >> Installation >> Command &. The correct sequence of cyber attack tactics typically follows the stages of the cyber kill chain, starting with reconnaissance and progressing through exploitation to achieve the attacker's objective.

Why each option
The correct sequence of cyber attack tactics typically follows the stages of the cyber kill chain, starting with reconnaissance and progressing through exploitation to achieve the attacker's objective.
Reconnaissance occurs early in the attack, not after 'Actions on the objective'.
Reconnaissance is an initial stage, not occurring after 'Installation'.
Installation typically occurs after exploitation and before establishing C2, not before weaponization.
This sequence aligns with the Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain model, which describes the stages an adversary typically follows: Reconnaissance (information gathering), Weaponization (pairing exploit with payload), Delivery (transmitting weapon), Exploitation (triggering vulnerability), Installation (persistence), Command & Control (remote access), and Actions on Objective (achieving goals).
