Inventory

Asset inventory lists hosts, apps, and endpoints from recon — map only in-scope $SCOPE_HOST findings.

Inventory literacy. $SCOPE_HOST only. Original Cyberlium.

Inventory turns recon noise into a test plan — scoped rows only.

Asset mapping starts with an inventory: hostnames, apps, endpoints, technologies, and auth requirements discovered on in-scope $SCOPE_HOST assets. Each row links back to scope confirmation and recon source. Inventories exclude out-of-scope neighbors and third-party widgets. Cyberlium teaches inventory discipline without cataloging classmate deploys or random sites. You build rows from YOUR recon pack only. Next: JS and APIs.

1. Inventory columns that matter

Hostname, in-scope Y/N, app type (web/API/mobile), tech hints, auth required, recon source, next test idea. Start with $SCOPE_HOST root and confirmed subdomains only.

Empty rows beat fabricated findings. Honest gaps invite targeted recon — not scope violations.

Command guide

Try these commands — Inventory columns that matter

═══ TOOLS & WEBSITES ═══ Browse / read these (authorized learning only — stay in YOUR lab / program scope)

GAU — https://github.com/lc/gau (archived URLs — in-scope domain) Wayback literacy — historical endpoints in scope

═══ INSTALL ═══

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):

Command — copy this

go install github.com/lc/gau/v2/cmd/gau@latest
sudo apt install curl

macOS:

Command — copy this

go install github.com/lc/gau/v2/cmd/gau@latest

Windows:

Command — copy this

go install github.com/lc/gau/v2/cmd/gau@latest

Built-in (PowerShell: Invoke-WebRequest)

═══ LINUX / macOS ═══

Command — copy this

source "$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t20-scope.env"
gau --subs "$(cat "$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t20-root-domain.txt" 2>/dev/null || echo httpbin.org)" 2>/dev/null | head -20 || curl -sS "https://$SCOPE_HOST/links/10/0" | head -10

Primary tools to practice this lesson: gau, curl. Reference sites: GAU (https://github.com/lc/gau); Wayback literacy. Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.

2. One inventory per program

Keep separate inventories per enrolled program. Mixing $SCOPE_HOST rows with classmate URLs creates audit nightmares and policy violations.

chmod 600 inventory files under $HOME/cyberlium-lab — same as recon notes.

3. Inventory feeds bug class testing later

Module 6 bug classes attach to inventory rows — XSS on listed forms, IDOR on API paths you mapped here. Out-of-scope rows never get test ideas.

Ship: inventory table header for $SCOPE_HOST. Next: JS and APIs.

4. What you ship: inventory table template for $SCOPE_HOST

Columns: hostname, in-scope, app type, tech, auth, source, next step. $SCOPE_HOST only. chmod 600.

5. What you record before the next lesson

Date. Inventory template. $SCOPE_HOST named. File t20-m05-l01-inventory.txt chmod 600.

6. Wrong vs right: random sites vs in-scope program

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

  • Wrong: Add every Shodan host to inventory. Mix classmate deploy rows 'for comparison.'
  • Right: Write inventory template for $SCOPE_HOST. Next: JS and APIs.
Hands-on Exercise

Mission: template asset inventory

1) Define inventory columns. 2) Add $SCOPE_HOST as first row placeholder. 3) chmod 600. Never inventory stranger hosts.
