The Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain describes seven sequential phases of a targeted cyber intrusion. During which phase does the attacker establish a persistent foothold on the victim system, typically by installing malware such as a backdoor?
Delivery
Weaponization
Exploitation
Installation
In the Installation phase, the attacker's payload configures itself to run persistently-often by creating services, modifying startup items, or dropping additional malware. This foothold allows later Command and Control traffic and ultimately the attacker's Actions on Objectives. Weaponization occurs earlier (building the payload), Delivery transmits it to the target, and Exploitation triggers the code; none of these phases focuses on establishing long-term persistence.
