ICS/SCADA › Module 10 › Lesson 1
Checklist
Capstone checklist literacy names all Topic 38 artifacts across modules on YOUR OT lab on YOUR $OT_LAB — defensive OT literacy only; no real-plant attacks, unauthorized OT scans, or exploit cookbooks.

Checklist literacy. $OT_LAB only. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Capstone starts with a checklist — verify every module artifact exists on YOUR OT lab before claiming topic completion.
Topic 38 capstone checklist verifies M1 setup, M2 ICS fundamentals, M3 OT/IT pack, M4 protocols, M5 threats, M6 segmentation diagram, M7 monitoring, M8 hardening, and M9 incident pack — all on OT lab with NEVER boundaries respected. Cyberlium Topic 38 practices on $OT_LAB — YOUR fictional OT templates, zone diagrams, and labeled checklists under $HOME/cyberlium-lab/t38-ot/ no real-plant attacks, unauthorized OT scans, or exploit cookbooks. Next: Lab Path.
1. What Checklist covers (named)
Checklist literacy: module artifact paths, chmod 600 confirmation, NEVER list reviewed, LAB-OT-001 label present. Mark each module pack complete before capstone lab. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.
Write capstone checklist file with bracket items for modules 1–9. Fictional plant scope only. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.

2. Why Checklist matters for defenders
Checklists prevent gap-filled capstone submissions. Mentors grade integrity — not attack skill. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.
Students maintain checklist on lab notes. Production programs use similar maturity assessments. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.
3. $OT_LAB boundary
Forbidden: checkbox complete without artifacts on disk. Allowed: capstone checklist on OT lab. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.

4. What you ship: checklist card for $OT_LAB
Capstone checklist literacy names all Topic 38 artifacts across modules on YOUR OT lab. $OT_LAB named. NEVER real-plant attack steps. chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Date (UTC). Checklist card. $OT_LAB named. File t38-m10-l01-checklist.txt chmod 600.
6. Wrong vs right: plant attacks vs YOUR OT lab sims
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Mark all modules complete with empty lab folder.
Right
Write checklist card for YOUR $OT_LAB. Next: Lab Path.
Mission: document Checklist on YOUR OT lab
1) Name literacy rows on $OT_LAB. 2) Write NEVER list (no real-plant attacks, unauthorized OT scans, or exploit cookbooks). 3) chmod 600. Never scan or exploit real industrial networks.
