Lab: full AD report pack from $LAB_AD. Original Cyberlium.

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.

Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, python3. Reference sites: Report lab (https://attack.mitre.org/); CISA reporting (https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/active-directory-security-best-practices); Microsoft audit events (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/auditing/).

Findings + remediation + purple + integrity — chmod 600.

5. What you record before the next lesson

6. Wrong vs right: stranger-domain attacks vs lab AD literacy

Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.

  • Wrong: Report lab zip includes stranger-domain DCSync transcript.
  • Right: AD report lab pack from $LAB_AD. Next: quiz.
