    • The first steps of the MITRE ATT&CK chain focus on learning about a target and gathering information for future attacks. This sort of information gathering can be instrumental to the success of future operations. For example, learning that a target uses a standard IT management software could cause an APT to target this software in a supply-chain vulnerability attack later on. 

      In this lab we’ll take a look at some of the social engineering techniques and tools that can help aid Reconnaissance and Resource Development.
