Lab — Scope Sheet
00:00/02:55

Visual · bounty_scope_lab

Lab: write scope pack. $SCOPE_HOST only. Original Cyberlium.

Scope pack before probes — same discipline triage teams expect.

Lessons 3-1 through 3-3 defined scope reading, in/out classification, and rate limits. This lab ships the combined artifact: scope summary, in/out table, rate limits, forbidden actions — all for $SCOPE_HOST. No recon run required — paperwork first. Next: Quiz — Scope Literacy.

1. Lab contract: write the scope pack

Create $HOME/cyberlium-lab/t20-m03-l04-scope-lab.txt with scope date, in-scope list, out-of-scope list, in/out table, rate limits, and forbidden actions for $SCOPE_HOST.

Optional: wildcard rule note if your program uses *.domain patterns.

Command guide

Try these commands — Lab contract: write the scope pack

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

t20-scope.env — SCOPE_HOST=lab.example.invalid or joined program root httpbin.org — safe demo when program not joined

═══ INSTALL ═══

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):

Command — copy this

sudo apt install curl

macOS: Built-in

Windows: Built-in (PowerShell: Invoke-WebRequest)

═══ LINUX / macOS ═══

Command — copy this

cat > "$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t20-scope.env" <<'EOF'
SCOPE_HOST=httpbin.org
IN_SCOPE=*.lab.example.invalid
OUT_OF_SCOPE=third-party CDN, employee emails, DoS
RATE_LIMIT_NOTE=respect program rate limits
EOF

Command — copy this

chmod 600 "$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t20-scope.env"
source "$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t20-scope.env"; curl -sS "https://$SCOPE_HOST/robots.txt" | head -10

Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, curl. Reference sites: t20-scope.env; httpbin.org. Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.

2. Cross-check scope creep habits

Grep notes for random URL examples — redact to $SCOPE_HOST. If a tutorial scopes a public shop, rewrite to YOUR program before copying.

Classmates scope their own $SCOPE_HOST — not yours, not the dorm gateway.

3. Lock the proof

chmod 600 on the pack. Quiz next — then Recon for Bounty.

Clean scope packs make recon and reports defensible later.

4. What you ship: scope pack for $SCOPE_HOST

Summary + in/out + limits + forbidden. $SCOPE_HOST named. chmod 600. No random targets.

5. What you record before the next lesson

Date. Scope pack path. $SCOPE_HOST scope date. File t20-m03-l04-scope-lab.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 classmate URL as 'bonus in-scope.' Skip file and start subdomain brute force.
  • Right: Write YOUR scope pack for $SCOPE_HOST. chmod 600. Next: Quiz — Scope Literacy.
Hands-on Exercise

Mission: freeze YOUR scope pack on disk

1) Merge summary, in/out, limits, forbidden. 2) Name $SCOPE_HOST. 3) chmod 600. Never list stranger URLs as in-scope.

Scope packs are boring — boring keeps accounts and strangers safe.
