Leak sites = named monitoring rows. $DW_LAB. Original Cyberlium.

Opening

Defenders monitor breach mentions — name leak site categories on YOUR lab notes before browsing criminal marketplaces or downloading stranger credential dumps without authorization.

Leak site literacy names: public paste site mention category, breach aggregator alert category, dark-web forum mention stub category, ransomware leak blog category, and defender monitoring workflow stub category. Analyst documents leak site taxonomy card on `$DW_LAB` fictional org — five category rows with defender-only monitoring literacy stubs linked to Module 5 brand monitoring — without accessing criminal marketplaces, without downloading live credential dumps for 'research,' without carding or purchase how-tos, without scraping stranger org employee PII without authorization. Cyberlium teaches defender leak-hunting vocabulary on YOUR labeled notes under $HOME/cyberlium-lab/t39-dw/ — educational literacy only, not legal advice. Refused: marketplace buys, carding recipes, unauthorized credential harvesting. Lab row: leak site taxonomy card (five categories, monitoring stub, LAB label). chmod 600.

1. Named leak site rows

Paste sites, breach aggregators, forum mentions, ransomware blogs, monitoring stub — five literacy anchors.

Each row cites `$DW_LAB` fictional org monitoring scope — not live criminal marketplace navigation.

═══ 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

export DW_LAB=${DW_LAB:-$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t39-dw}
cat > "$DW_LEAKS/leak-sites-named-literacy.txt" <<'EOF'
Leak hunting literacy — DEFENSIVE:
  Breach corpus: authorized services (HIBP enterprise, vendor feeds) — not criminal shops
  Paste sites: monitor brand/domain mentions via legal tooling or vendor
  Lab: FAKE email [email protected] in stub — never real employee emails without authorization
  Refused: purchasing stolen credential dumps from marketplaces
EOF

Command — copy this

grep -E 'DEFENSIVE|FAKE|Refused' "$DW_LEAKS/leak-sites-named-literacy.txt"
curl -sS https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/v3 | head -8

Primary tools to practice this lesson: curl, grep. Reference sites: CISA breaches (https://www.cisa.gov/topics/cyber-threats-and-advisories); Have I Been Pwned API docs (https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/v3); NIST IR (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-61/rev-2/final). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.

2. Defender monitoring link

Leak site categories feed Module 5 dark-web monitoring literacy — same org thread.

Taxonomy supports alert triage — not unauthorized data collection.

3. $DW_LAB boundary

Monitoring notes from YOUR fictional org templates only — not stranger employee PII harvesting.

Refused: marketplace access, carding, crime how-tos, unauthorized dump downloads.

4. What you ship: leak site taxonomy card

Five category rows + monitoring stub + LAB label + NEVER marketplace access line.

5. What you record before the next lesson

Leak site taxonomy card path.

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

    Browse criminal marketplace and download live credential dump as 'leak site research' without authorization.

  • Right

    Leak site taxonomy card from `$DW_LAB` fictional org template. Next: Credential Stuffing Defense.

Mission: leak site taxonomy card

1) Name five leak site literacy rows. 2) Map each to defender monitoring stub on lab org. 3) LAB label on every sample row. 4) Write NEVER marketplace access line.
