Lab — Capstone
Execute capstone on $ZT_LAB — checklist, lab path, evidence pack sealed; zero attack tool refs.
Visual · t40_capstone_lab
Capstone: checklist × $ZT_LAB literacy evidence. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Close the ZT literacy loop — pillars linked, diagrams sealed, roadmap honest — without attack tools or fake maturity fraud.
Walk Topic 40 checklist on YOUR $ZT_LAB: verify org inventory, all pillar packs, policy master diagram links, NIST SP 800-207 cited, scan for attack tool keywords (must be zero). Update index with capstone UTC completion. Integrity paragraph: fictional org discipline and key insight from YOUR path. Optional mentor review — three clarity questions. chmod 600 after.
1. Execute checklist
Check each row; link artifact or N/A labeled LAB; confirm zero attack refs in any file.
Scan sealed pack for unauthorized employer data — remove before handoff.
Command guide
Try these commands — Execute checklist
═══ 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, python3, curl. Reference sites: NIST SP 800-207 (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-207/final); CISA ZTMM (https://www.cisa.gov/zero-trust-maturity-model); NIST Cybersecurity Framework (https://www.nist.gov/cyberframework). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Integrity paragraph
Fictional org inventory + LAB label discipline + honest maturity gap + policy diagram as integration hub → professional handoff from YOUR lab path.
Name what breaks if you skip LAB labels or use attack tools — ethics tie-in.
3. Shutdown
Notes secured chmod 600; index signed complete UTC.
Ready for Topic 41 Security Architecture & Design on separate track.
4. What you ship: capstone evidence pack complete
Checked checklist + sealed literacy pack + integrity paragraph + zero attack scan.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Capstone pack path. $ZT_LAB quiet.
6. Wrong vs right: bypass cookbooks vs YOUR ZT design
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Capstone includes nmap internal scan walkthrough as bonus exhibit.
Right
Capstone complete on $ZT_LAB with full teardown. Next: topic quiz.
Mission: Topic 40 capstone
1) Walk checklist with evidence links. 2) Integrity paragraph from your path. 3) Seal pack — zero attack refs. 4) Sign index UTC complete.
