Analysis of the Stages and Phases of Typical Network Attacks Based on Security Events

Abstract

The paper presents and analyzes the stages and phases of typical network attacks. Successful attacks on computer networks represent a rather complex sequence of actions pre-formed and prepared by the attacker. The implementation of an attack is often a multi-stage process, in which each stage is characterized by its own characteristics. Studying the "anatomy" of a computer attack allows us to assess the attacker's capabilities in carrying out malicious actions and also to develop an adequate protection system.
