Visual · t39_capstone_checklist
Checklist consolidates Dark Web literacy pillars. $DW_LAB only. Original Cyberlium.
Capstone proves dark-web defender literacy on YOUR authorized `$DW_LAB` notes — not marketplace access or crime how-tos.
Assemble checklist covering Modules 1–9: anon mindset and lab scope, Tor literacy, OPSEC fundamentals, hardened OS literacy, defender monitoring, leak hunting, legal ethics, TI handoff, reporting. Use on capstone walk of YOUR `$DW_LAB` — never marketplace buys, never carding, never crime how-tos, never unauthorized collection, never presenting lab as live employer intel without authorization. Each row links artifact or honest N/A labeled LAB. Notes chmod 600 under $HOME/cyberlium-lab/t39-dw/. Integrity rows: `$DW_LAB` only, LAB samples labeled LAB, defender monitoring only, no crime how-tos, educational not legal advice, limitations documented.
1. Scope and ethics
$DW_LAB named with fictional org template reference. NEVER marketplace buys, NEVER carding, NEVER crime how-tos, NEVER unauthorized collection, NEVER lab-as-live-employer fraud.
Defender monitoring = LAB samples labeled LAB — mandatory on every evidence row.
