Arrange the stages of the Mandiant Attack Lifecycle in chronological order from the initial phase to the final objective.
Answer
Reconnaissance, Initial compromise, Establish foothold, Escalate privileges, Internal reconnaissance, Move laterally, Complete mission
Explanation
### The order
1. **Reconnaissance**: the attacker gathers information about the target.
2. **Initial compromise**: the attacker gains first access.
3. **Establish foothold**: the attacker creates a continuing presence.
4. **Escalate privileges**: the attacker seeks greater access.
5. **Internal reconnaissance**: the attacker learns about connected systems.
6. **Move laterally**: the attacker expands through the environment.
7. **Complete mission**: the attacker pursues the objective.
### Remember
The sequence moves from learning about the target to access, expansion, and mission activity.
