Evidence Pack

Index redacted lab artifacts — OS logs, central test, policy, backup restore proof.

Evidence Pack
00:00/02:30

Visual · t16_evidence_pack

Evidence pack = table of contents for YOUR lab work. Original Cyberlium.

Investigators trust indexed evidence — not a folder called stuff_final2.

Build evidence pack index listing each capstone artifact: path, date, one-line description, redaction note. Include OS log lab, central forward confirmation, policy lab file, backup restore log, hardening checklist references from earlier modules. All from $LAB — no employer tickets, no classmate logs, no production screenshots without authorization. chmod 600 index.

1. Index fields

Artifact name, module lesson, file path, UTC date, description, redactions applied.

Cross-link checklist item to artifact row.

Command guide

Try these commands — Index fields

═══ LINUX / KALI (Penetration Testing & Service Audit) ═══

Port scan and service banner grabbing against authorized target

Command — copy this

nmap -sV -sC -Pn -T4 -p 21,22,80,443,445,3389 ${LAB_HOST:-127.0.0.1}

Enumerate web directories and hidden endpoints

Command — copy this

gobuster dir -u http://${LAB_HOST:-127.0.0.1} -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/common.txt -q -t 20 2>/dev/null || head -5 /etc/hosts

Metasploit framework module inspection (Safe lab syntax)

Command — copy this

msfconsole -q -x "use auxiliary/scanner/portscan/tcp; set RHOSTS 127.0.0.1; set PORTS 80,443; run; exit" 2>/dev/null || echo "Run in Kali msfconsole"

═══ WINDOWS (Audit Target) ═══ Enumerate open listening ports with process mappings

Command — copy this

netstat -ano | findstr /i "LISTENING"

Primary tools to practice this lesson: journalctl, python3, ss. Reference sites: Evidence pack (https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Logging_Cheat_Sheet.html); NIST SP 800-92 (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-92/final). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.

2. Redaction rules

Remove real names, IPs outside lab range, serial numbers if sharing mentor.

Keep enough to prove you did the work on YOUR hosts.

3. Integrity habit

Optional: hash index file after final edit for personal record.

No uploading pack to public repos.

4. What you ship: evidence pack index

Index table with ≥5 artifacts from $LAB modules.

5. What you record before the next lesson

Evidence index path.

6. Wrong vs right: stranger hosts vs YOUR lab hosts

Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.

  • Wrong: Include employer incident ticket in student pack without permission.
  • Right: Index redacted artifacts. Next: walkthrough.
Hands-on Exercise

Mission: evidence index

1) List OS log + central + policy + backup artifacts. 2) Add path and date each. 3) Note redactions applied.
