Lab: full AD report pack from $LAB_AD. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Ship a report blue can merge — findings, fixes verified, purple loop closed, zero stranger-domain recipes.
From Modules 6–9 $LAB_AD work: (1) ≥2 blue finding rows with ATT&CK and Event IDs; (2) remediation section with before/after proof from defense lab; (3) purple loop diagram with retest result; (4) integrity block — $LAB_AD only, no attack cookbook attachments; (5) executive summary for mentor — three sentences max; (6) chmod 600 report pack with index. Scan for Mimikatz scripts, DCSync cookbooks, Kerberoast tool output against strangers — must be zero. Gap paragraph for capstone checklist. Optional: detection rule stub names from Module 8 — not full Sigma export unless brief assigns.
