Post compromise tool development

After compromise, an adversary may utilize additional tools to facilitate their end goals. This may include tools to further explore the system, move laterally within a network, exfiltrate data, or destroy data. [1]

Detection

Detectable by Common Defenses (Yes/No/Partial): No

Explanation: Adversary will likely use code repositories, but development will be performed on their local systems.

Difficulty for the Adversary

Easy for the Adversary (Yes/No): Yes

Explanation: Post compromise tool development is a standard part of the adversary's protocol in developing the necessary tools required to completely conduct an attack.
