Map the kill chain

Linux lab Intermediate 4 tasks 20 points

Write up the intrusion in MITRE ATT&CK terms so the detection team can build coverage. Identify the techniques for the key behaviours and record your mapping.

How it works: the terminal below is a real Linux machine running in your browser. Click it and type. Tasks tick themselves off as you complete them; questions are answered in the box under each task. Press Reset any time for a fresh machine. Your password on this machine (for sudo) is student.

Hints

You recognise the behaviour and look up the ID; you don't memorise them.

Brute Force = T1110, Web Shell = T1505.003, PowerShell = T1059.001.

Solution explanation

You translated the raw findings into a MITRE ATT&CK map — brute force (T1110), valid accounts (T1078), discovery (T1046), web shell (T1505.003), PowerShell (T1059.001) and account creation (T1136). That mapping is what a detection team turns into coverage, and what lets another analyst instantly grasp the whole attack.
