kill-chain-analysis

kill-chain-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from PurpleAILAB/Decepticon. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,396 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A decision framework for choosing the next step in an authorised penetration test. It uses the operational plan, existing findings, expected risk, and operational exposure to prioritise attack paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to interpret reconnaissance results, select web, directory-service, credential, cloud, VPN, or social-engineering paths, and manage phase transitions.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from pursuing every possible lead and helps them choose lower-noise actions supported by evidence.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kill-chain-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Kill Chain Analysis & Attack Path Decision-Making

Decision Framework

When selecting the next action, evaluate in order:

  1. What does the OPPLAN say? — Prioritized objectives drive decisions
  2. What do findings tell us? — Previous phase results constrain options
  3. What's the risk/reward? — Lower noise approaches first
  4. What's the OPSEC impact? — Consult opsec skill before noisy actions

Findings Analysis

After Recon Phase — Selecting Attack Vectors

Read recon/ outputs and categorize:

Finding Type Indicates Next Action
Web apps with known CVEs Web exploitation path exploit → web techniques
AD services (88/389/636) AD attack surface exploit → AD techniques (after initial access)
Exposed credentials (OSINT) Credential-based access exploit → credential stuffing/spray
Cloud misconfigs (S3/blob) Cloud attack path exploit → cloud-specific techniques
VPN/remote access services Network perimeter entry exploit → VPN/RDP exploitation
Employee emails + breach data Social engineering path exploit → phishing (if in scope)

Attack Vector Prioritization

Rank available vectors by:

Score = (Success Probability × Impact) / Detection Risk

1. Valid credentials from OSINT        → High prob, High impact, Low noise
2. Known web CVE (public exploit)      → High prob, Med impact, Med noise
3. AD misconfiguration (no patch)      → Med prob,  High impact, Med noise
4. Password spray against O365         → Med prob,  High impact, High noise
5. Zero-day or custom exploit          → Low prob,  High impact, Low noise

Always prefer: credentials > misconfigurations > known CVEs > brute force

After Exploitation — Deciding Post-Exploit Strategy

Once a foothold is established, analyze:

Context Decision
Low-privilege user on workstation Prioritize: privesc → cred dump → lateral to server
Service account on server Prioritize: cred dump (may have cached admin creds) → lateral
Domain user credentials Prioritize: AD enumeration → Kerberoasting → DCSync path
Local admin on single host Prioritize: cred dump → check for cached domain creds → lateral
Already domain admin Prioritize: objective completion → evidence collection → reporting

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
