Which action matches the weaponization step of the Cyber Kill Chain Model?

The weaponization step in the Cyber Kill Chain Model involves the creation or use of a specific weapon (malware, exploit) designed to leverage a vulnerability.

This phase follows the reconnaissance phase where the attacker gathers information and precedes the delivery phase where the weapon is delivered to the target.

Developing specific malware to exploit a vulnerable server is a precise example of weaponization.
