SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill maps observed intrusion activity to the seven stages of the Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain, enabling post-incident analysis, defense in depth planning, and gap identification across the kill chain.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase mapping: classify attacker actions into Reconnaissance through Actions on Objectives to produce a phase-by-phase timeline.
  • MITRE alignment: correlate kill chain phases with MITRE ATT&CK tactics to enrich incident context.
  • Structured reporting: generate a detailed kill chain analysis report with evidence, detections, and recommended defenses for each phase.
  • Automation-ready: includes a script (agent.py) that ingests incident events and outputs a reproducible kill chain analysis.

Quick Start

Run the agent on your incident log to generate a Kill Chain analysis report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map incident events to the Cyber Kill Chain phases for post-incident analysis?

Mapping incident events to the Cyber Kill Chain requires classifying attacker actions into the seven Lockheed Martin phases to determine attacker progress and identify defense gaps. This skill ingests your incident logs and generates a structured phase-by-phase timeline.

What is the relationship between the Lockheed Martin Kill Chain and MITRE ATT&CK tactics during threat hunting?

Aligning the Kill Chain with MITRE ATT&CK involves correlating the seven Kill Chain phases with MITRE ATT&CK tactics to enrich incident context. This provides a structured view of attacker behavior across SOC workflows for threat hunting.

How do I generate a structured forensics report with evidence and recommended defenses for an intrusion?

Generate a structured forensics report by running the analysis script on your incident log to produce a detailed output. This report includes evidence, detections, and recommended defenses mapped to each phase of the Cyber Kill Chain investigation.

Can I use this kill chain analysis for automated SOC workflows without manual phase mapping?

You can automate kill chain analysis for SOC workflows because the skill provides deterministic phase mapping through an included script. It ingests incident events and outputs a reproducible analysis suitable for investigation dashboards.

Does this incident analysis tool support defense in depth planning and gap identification?

Yes, this incident analysis tool supports defense in depth planning by mapping observed intrusion activity to the seven Kill Chain stages. It specifically identifies defense gaps across the kill chain to highlight security posture failures.
