Lab — Identity
Pack identity named, MFA conditional, and PAM cards — identity pillar file from $ZT_LAB with combined policy matrix.
Visual · t40_identity_lab
Lab: identity pillar pack. $ZT_LAB only. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Identity pack merges IdP architecture, conditional access, and PAM into one LAB-ZT-001 identity folder artifact.
Lessons 3-1–3-3 named identity components, conditional access, and PAM. Merge into identity pillar pack under $ZT_LAB/LAB-ZT-001/identity/ with cross-links to M2 principles diagram. No credential attacks, real user PII, or employer IdP exports. Next: Quiz — Identity Pillar.
1. Lab contract: identity pillar pack
Merge identity card, CA matrix, PAM checklist into identity-pillar-pack.md with LAB SAMPLE header.
Optional ASCII: User → IdP → CA → App with PAM branch for admin path.
Command guide
Try these commands — Lab contract: identity pillar pack
═══ 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: CISA ZTMM Identity (https://www.cisa.gov/zero-trust-maturity-model); NIST SP 800-207 (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-207/final). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Cross-check
Grep real emails, password hashes, MFA bypass, employer tenant GUIDs — remove.
Link M1 ethics and M2 verify-explicitly cross-refs.
3. Lock
chmod 600. Quiz next — Device Posture.
Identity pack feeds device trust module boundary.
4. What you ship: identity pillar pack
Merged identity artifacts in LAB-ZT-001/identity/. $ZT_LAB. NO credential attacks. chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Date. Identity pack path. $ZT_LAB named. File t40-m03-l04-identity-lab.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
Include credential stuffing script appendix. Paste employer CA policy export.
Right
Write identity pillar pack for $ZT_LAB. Next: Quiz — Identity Pillar.
Mission: identity pillar pack
1) Merge M3 literacy sections. 2) Combined identity diagram stub. 3) Ethics cross-refs. 4) chmod 600.
