DevSecOps › Module 10 › Lesson 2
Lab Path
DevSecOps literacy path on `$DEVSEC_LAB` — lab setup to mentor handoff with ethics gates at every station.
Visual · t36_lab_path
Lab path = visual DevSec chain on YOUR $DEVSEC_LAB. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Draw the path from lab setup to mentor handoff — with stop signs at every stranger-org pipeline shortcut and sabotage recipe lane.
Document literacy path: `$DEVSEC_LAB` setup → DevSec fundamentals → pipeline security → SAST/secrets → DAST → IaC → containers → runtime/supply chain → findings/governance → capstone. Ethics gates: stranger org pipeline scans, sabotage recipes, unauthorized prod deploy, merge check bypass, malicious image/package guides — refused paths labeled red. UTC milestones and artifact IDs per station. Mermaid or sketch chmod 600. Honest N/A if brief skipped live repo — labeled. Defender breakpoint: where repo scope discipline prevented out-of-scope pipeline action.
1. Path stations
Setup, fundamentals, pipeline, SAST/secrets, DAST, IaC, containers, runtime/supply, findings, handoff — ten minimum stations.
Each station links evidence index row and module lesson ID.
Command guide
Try these commands — Path stations
═══ DOCKER & CONTAINER AUDIT ═══
Check container running state and port bindings
Command — copy this
docker ps --format "table {{.ID}} {{.Image}} {{.Status}} {{.Ports}}" 2>/dev/null || echo "docker ps"Inspect container for elevated capabilities and root user
Command — copy this
docker inspect --format '{{json .HostConfig.Privileged}}' <container_id> 2>/dev/null || trueRun security vulnerability scan on container image using Trivy
Command — copy this
trivy image --severity HIGH,CRITICAL alpine:3.19 2>/dev/null || echo "trivy image alpine:3.19"
═══ KUBERNETES RBAC AUDIT ═══ Check current permissions in namespace
Command — copy this
kubectl auth can-i --list 2>/dev/null || echo "kubectl auth can-i"
Primary tools to practice this lesson: curl, grep. Reference sites: Gitleaks (https://gitleaks.io/); Bridgecrew Checkov (https://www.checkov.io/); Aqua Trivy (https://aquasecurity.github.io/trivy/); OWASP ZAP (https://www.zaproxy.org/). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Ethics overlay
Red stops: stranger org scans, sabotage recipes, unauthorized prod deploy, merge bypass, malicious packages.
Repo scope branch always green start — `$DEVSEC_LAB` on separate labeled branch.
3. Integrity breakpoint
Mark where scope check prevented out-of-repo scan or prod access.
One paragraph uplift from YOUR `$DEVSEC_LAB` path.
4. What you ship: lab path diagram
DevSec chain with ethics gates + UTC milestones — chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Lab path diagram path.
6. Wrong vs right: stranger orgs vs YOUR repos
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Lab path includes stranger org pipeline sabotage shortcut lane.
Right
Lab path documented for $DEVSEC_LAB. Next: Evidence Pack.
Mission: lab path diagram
1) Map ten stations. 2) Add six ethics gates. 3) UTC milestones per station. 4) Link evidence index IDs.
