Lab — Capstone
Execute checklist on $LAB_RT engagement — evidence complete, pack sealed, full teardown.
Visual · t21_capstone_lab
Capstone: checklist × $LAB_RT red-team evidence. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Close the loop on emulation blue authorized — then revert lab and revoke creds.
Walk Topic 21 checklist on YOUR $LAB_RT engagement: verify RoE on file, lab path current, persist/lateral labs with teardown proof, purple map and handoff linked, report and remediation complete, evasion-vs-crime refusal signed, evidence pack indexed. Update index. Teardown: remove persistence artifacts, revert snapshots, revoke disposable creds, chmod 600 all files. No stranger targets, no cred dump cookbooks, no real PII, no cover-tracks. Defender paragraph: how YOUR path would be detected after purple tuning on same bench.
1. Execute checklist
Check each row; link artifact or N/A with reason.
Confirm no unauthorized targets or refused techniques in any file.

Primary tools to practice this lesson: nmap, curl, ss, grep. Reference sites: Red teaming capstone (https://attack.mitre.org/matrices/enterprise/); Sigma HQ (https://sigmahq.io/); Atomic Red Team (https://redcanary.com/atomic-red-team/); CISA debrief (https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/red-team-exercises). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Defender paragraph
One paragraph: entry → persist/lateral → purple outcomes on YOUR lab and remaining gaps.
Name what breaks if you skip RoE or use cover-tracks tradecraft.
3. Shutdown
Persistence teardown verified. Snapshots reverted per policy. Sign completion in index.
Optional thank-you to blue for purple collaboration.
4. What you ship: capstone evidence pack complete
Checked checklist + sealed evidence pack + teardown proof.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Capstone pack path. $LAB_RT quiet.
6. Wrong vs right: stranger phishing vs authorized RT lab
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Capstone evidence from unauthorized domain cred dump campaign.
Right
Capstone complete on $LAB_RT engagement. Next: topic quiz.
Mission: Topic 21 capstone
