Lab Path
Capstone lab path — walk Topic 40 module order on $ZT_LAB — verify cross-links from mindset through roadmap.

Capstone lab path. $ZT_LAB. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Walk the path you built — grep cross-links from principles through policy master diagram before sealing evidence pack.
Execute path review: M1 ethics → M2 NIST/principles → M3 identity → M4 device → M5 microseg → M6 ZTNA → M7 data → M8 policy glue → M9 roadmap → M10 seal. curl NIST SP 800-207 once more for citation freshness date. Log path completion in lab-path-review.md with UTC timestamp. Next: Evidence Pack.
1. Path walk order
Follow module order; at each pillar verify pack exists and links forward/backward in diagrams.
Policy engine pack must reference all prior pillars — capstone integration test.
Command guide
Try these commands — Path walk order
═══ 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: curl, grep. 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). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. curl NIST verification
Re-run curl NIST SP 800-207 publication page; update citation date in principles or policy pack footer.
Educational literacy — not claiming NIST certification.
3. Path log
lab-path-review.md: module | pack path | cross-link OK? | UTC note.
Ship: path review log. Next: Evidence Pack.
4. What you ship: lab path review log
Module walk log with cross-link verification + NIST curl date. $ZT_LAB. chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Date. Path log. $ZT_LAB named. File t40-m10-l02-lab-path.txt chmod 600.
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
Skip M8 policy pack in walk. Claim NIST certified lab org after curl.
Right
Write lab path review with all ten modules logged. Next: Evidence Pack.
Mission: lab path walk
1) Walk M1–M9 pack paths in order. 2) Verify policy pack links all pillars. 3) curl NIST SP 800-207 and note date. 4) chmod 600.
