See an attack as a sequence of stages
Attacks are not single events but sequences: reconnaissance, initial access, escalation, movement, impact. This tool visualises attack chains and their kill-chain stages, so you can lay out how an attack progresses and reason about where it could be detected or stopped. Understanding the sequence is what turns defence from reactive to deliberate.
Why the chain matters for defence
The value of thinking in a chain is that an attack must complete every link to succeed, so breaking any one link stops it. Visualising the stages shows where your defences sit and where the gaps are: a chain with no detection at the movement stage means an intruder can spread freely once inside. This is a defensive modelling exercise, mapping how attacks work so you can position controls against them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a kill chain?
A model of the stages an attack passes through, from reconnaissance and initial access to escalation, lateral movement and impact. Each stage is a link that must complete.
Why break the chain?
Because an attack must complete every stage to succeed, so a control that reliably stops any one stage defeats the whole attack.
Is this offensive or defensive?
Defensive. It is a modelling exercise for laying out how attacks progress so you can position detection and controls against each stage.
What does visualising it reveal?
Where your defences sit along the chain and where the gaps are, such as a stage with no detection that would let an intruder proceed unseen.
