Lab Path
Mobile security literacy path on $MOB_LAB — lab setup to report handoff with ethics gates at every station.
Visual · t27_lab_path
Lab path = visual mobile chain on YOUR $MOB_LAB. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Draw the path from lab scope to mentor handoff — with stop signs at every unauthorized shortcut.
Document literacy path: $MOB_LAB setup → Android static/dynamic/TLS stations → iOS literacy → MASVS verification → MDM enterprise mapping → report/RoE → capstone handoff. Ethics gates: stranger phones, pinning bypass unauthorized apps, covert MDM enrollment, fabricated findings, prod app without scope — refused paths labeled red. UTC milestones and artifact IDs per station. Mermaid or sketch chmod 600. Honest N/A if brief skipped iOS physical device — labeled. Defender breakpoint: where RoE stop or MASVS evidence requirement prevented bad finding.
1. Path stations
Setup, Android branches, iOS, MASVS, MDM, report, handoff — seven minimum stations.
Each station links evidence index row and module lesson ID.
Command guide
Try these commands — Path stations
═══ LINUX / macOS (Terminal Practice) ═══
Check system state and user context
Command — copy this
id whoami uname -a
Inspect network sockets listening for connections
Command — copy this
ss -tuln 2>/dev/null || netstat -tuln
Audit active processes
Command — copy this
ps aux | grep -v "\[" | head -15
═══ WINDOWS (POWERSHELL) ═══ Query user identity and system information
Command — copy this
whoami /all Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object CsName, OsName, OsVersion
Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, curl. Reference sites: MASTG repo (https://github.com/OWASP/MASTG); JADX (https://github.com/skylot/jadx); Frida docs (https://frida.re/docs/home/). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Ethics overlay
Red stops: stranger devices, bypass cookbooks, covert MDM, unauthorized prod, fabricated evidence.
RoE branch always green start — no shortcut.
3. Integrity breakpoint
Mark where scope check or evidence requirement prevented out-of-RoE test.
One paragraph uplift from YOUR $MOB_LAB path.
4. What you ship: lab path diagram
Mobile 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 phones vs lab emulator apps
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Lab path includes stranger phone bypass shortcut lane.
Right
Lab path documented for $MOB_LAB. Next: Evidence Pack.
Mission: lab path diagram
1) Map seven stations. 2) Add six ethics gates. 3) UTC milestones per station. 4) Link evidence index IDs.
