Lab — Capstone
Execute capstone on `$DW_LAB` — checklist, lab path, evidence pack sealed; zero crime how-tos.
Visual · t39_capstone_lab
Capstone: checklist × $DW_LAB literacy evidence. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Close the dark-web defender literacy loop — findings honest, evidence LAB-labeled, reports scoped — without marketplace access or unauthorized collection.
Walk Topic 39 checklist on YOUR `$DW_LAB`: verify org template inventory, lab path current, leak hunting through reporting packs indexed, scan for marketplace guides and crime how-tos (must be zero). Update index with capstone UTC completion. Integrity paragraph: fictional org discipline and defender monitoring key insight from YOUR path. No marketplace buys, no carding, no crime how-tos, no unauthorized collection, no rumor-as-fact on exec brief. Optional mentor review — three clarity questions. Secure notes chmod 600 after if brief requires.
1. Execute checklist
Check each row; link artifact or N/A labeled LAB; confirm zero crime how-to refs in any file.
Scan sealed pack for marketplace or carding references — remove before handoff.

Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, python3. Reference sites: Tor Project (https://www.torproject.org/); Tor Manual (https://tb-manual.torproject.org/); CISA (https://www.cisa.gov/report). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Integrity paragraph
Fictional org inventory + LAB label discipline + honest defender insight → professional handoff idea from YOUR lab path.
Name what breaks if you skip LAB labels or access marketplaces — ethics tie-in.
3. Shutdown
Notes secured chmod 600; index signed complete UTC.
Ready for Topic 40 — Zero Trust Architecture on separate authorized track.
4. What you ship: capstone evidence pack complete
Checked checklist + sealed literacy pack + integrity paragraph + zero crime-how-to scan.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Capstone pack path. $DW_LAB quiet.
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
Capstone includes marketplace navigation walkthrough as bonus exhibit.
Right
Capstone complete on $DW_LAB with full teardown. Next: topic quiz.
Mission: Topic 39 capstone
1) Walk checklist with evidence links. 2) Integrity paragraph from your path. 3) Seal pack — zero crime how-to refs. 4) Sign index UTC complete.
