No Dumps
No exam dumps means Cyberlium refuses braindumps, leaked banks, and cheating — write the ethics card into YOUR $CERT_LAB notes; earn credentials through honest study.

Hard ban: dumps + cheating. $CERT_LAB. Original Cyberlium.
Braindumps feel fast and destroy credibility — Cyberlium documents the NEVER list so YOUR $CERT_LAB stays defensible when mentors review your prep path.
Exam dumps — also called braindumps — are collections of stolen or leaked exam items sold or shared to shortcut studying. Using them violates vendor agreements, often breaks proctoring rules, and produces credentials you cannot defend in interviews or incident response scenarios. Cyberlium maps the ethics card on YOUR $CERT_LAB — NEVER dumps, NEVER proxy testing, NEVER hidden notes during proctored exams, ALLOWED official objectives + your flashcards + authorized labs. Next: Lab Setup.
1. Named refusals (exam integrity)
NEVER: exam dumps, braindumps, 'actual questions' packs, paid cheat services, proxy test-takers, hidden notes during proctored exams, sharing live exam items in study groups.
ALLOWED: vendor objective pages, authorized practice tests from official sources, your own flashcards derived from objectives, Cyberlium labs on scoped hosts.
Command guide

Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, python3. Reference sites: CompTIA ethics (https://www.comptia.org/); ISC2 Code of Ethics (https://www.isc2.org/); Offensive Security rules (https://www.offensive-security.com/). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Why dumps fail you long-term
Interview deep-dives expose memorization without understanding. Employer incidents require skills dumps never taught. Vendor audits and proctoring AI increasingly detect dump usage — cert revocation is real.
Honest prep is slower and builds the skills the cert claims to validate.
3. Ethics card habit
Write NEVER/ALLOWED lines in $CERT_LAB/notes/no-exam-dumps.txt before Module 2 objective work.
Ship: ethics card with dump refusal + official sources allowed. Next: Lab Setup.
4. What you ship: no-exam-dumps ethics card
NEVER dumps/proxy/cheat lines + ALLOWED official objectives line. $CERT_LAB named. chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Date. Ethics card. $CERT_LAB named. File t42-m01-l03-no-exam-dumps.txt chmod 600.
6. Wrong vs right: exam dumps vs YOUR honest study plans
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
- Wrong: Add 'dump links OK if labeled research' to ALLOWED list. Skip ethics card because 'I would never cheat.'
- Right: Write ethics card refusing dumps on $CERT_LAB. Next: Lab Setup.
Mission: write YOUR cert prep ethics card
1) List five NEVER items (dumps, braindumps, proxy, hidden notes, live item sharing). 2) List three ALLOWED items (official objectives, your flashcards, authorized labs). 3) chmod 600.
