Dark › Module 1 › Lesson 4
Lab — Setup
Pack anon scope, lab inventory, and no-marketplace ethics card — lab setup file only, dest $DW_LAB.
Visual · t39_lab_setup
Lab: write dark web setup pack. $DW_LAB only. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Lab setup before Tor and OPSEC exercises — scope paperwork mentors expect before anonymity modules.
Lessons 1–3 defined why anonymity literacy matters, lab notes only, and no marketplace access. This lab ships the combined artifact: topic scope paragraph, lab inventory row, and ethics refusal card for $DW_LAB under $HOME/cyberlium-lab/t39-dw/. No marketplace access or real breach imports required — scope and ethics paperwork first. Next: Quiz — Anon Mindset and Lab.
1. Lab contract: write the setup pack
Create $HOME/cyberlium-lab/t39-m01-l04-lab-setup.txt with date, operator, $DW_LAB placeholder, literacy vs criminal activity paragraph, lab inventory row, and ethics card with SCOPE/NEVER/ALLOWED sections.
Optional: one-line proof your t39-dw folder exists — still no marketplace access or real breach imports required in this lab.

Command — copy this
export DW_LAB=${DW_LAB:-$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t39-dw}
cat > "$DW_LAB/roe.txt" <<'EOF'
DW_LAB=$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t39-dw
scope: literacy notes + defender monitoring stubs on YOUR lab VM only
never: marketplace buys; carding; crime how-tos; tor marketplace navigation
never: present LAB notes as employer authorized dark-web operations without ticket
allowed: Tor literacy cards; OPSEC notes; hardened OS vocabulary; monitoring policy stub
allowed: leak alert template (FAKE/LAB); legal ethics card; TI handoff stub; reporting template
allowed: curl torproject.org, support.torproject.org, tb-manual.torproject.org
output: markdown/txt stubs in lab folder — educational only, not legal advice

═══ WINDOWS ═══

Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, curl. Reference sites: Tor Project (https://www.torproject.org/); Tor Browser Manual (https://tb-manual.torproject.org/); EFF SSD (https://ssd.eff.org/). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Cross-check against misuse patterns
Grep notes for 'marketplace buy,' carding steps, real victim credentials — redact or delete. Rewrite forum habits to $DW_LAB fictional placeholders before you copy templates.
Classmates build their own setup packs for their $DW_LAB — not yours.
3. Lock the proof
chmod 600 on the pack. Quiz is next — then Tor Named.
Dark web mentors archive lab setup before first Tor literacy exercise; you are practicing that habit early.
4. What you ship: dark web lab setup pack for $DW_LAB
Setup pack: scope, inventory row, ethics card. $DW_LAB named. NEVER marketplace access. chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Date. Setup pack path. $DW_LAB scope note. File t39-m01-l04-lab-setup.txt chmod 600.
6. Wrong vs right: criminal markets vs YOUR OPSEC lab
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Skip the file and browse criminal forums. Add marketplace navigation to approved list.
Right
Write YOUR lab setup pack for $DW_LAB. chmod 600. Next: Quiz — Anon Mindset and Lab.
Mission: freeze YOUR dark web lab setup pack on disk
1) Merge scope, lab inventory, ethics sections. 2) Name $DW_LAB. 3) chmod 600. Never list marketplace access as approved practice.

Setup packs are boring on purpose — boring keeps dark web literacy defensible.
