ICS/SCADA › Module 10 › Lesson 4
Lab — Capstone
Run capstone integrity review — checklist, path, evidence index, NEVER grep — on YOUR OT lab on YOUR $OT_LAB — defensive OT literacy only; no real-plant attacks, unauthorized OT scans, or exploit cookbooks.

Capstone Lab literacy. $OT_LAB only. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Capstone lab verifies full Topic 38 integrity on YOUR OT lab — defensive literacy only, all modules linked.
Capstone merges checklist completion, lab path review, evidence index verification, and grep for NEVER terms (exploit, live plant IP, Modbus attack, Stuxnet replication). Write capstone-summary.txt — not live OT testing. 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: Quiz — Capstone and Topic Quiz.
1. What Capstone Lab covers (named)
Create t38-m10-l04-capstone-lab.txt with checklist status, evidence index confirmation, NEVER grep results. Optional: curl CISA ICS recommended practices page for literacy citation. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.
Confirm all module packs exist under OT lab fictional LAB-OT-001. Zero exploit cookbooks or live target refs. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.

Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, python3, curl. Reference sites: CISA ICS (https://www.cisa.gov/topics/industrial-control-systems); NIST SP 800-82 (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-82/rev-3/final); CISA recommended practices (https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/ics-recommended-practices). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Why Capstone Lab matters for defenders
Grep entire t38-ot tree for forbidden patterns — redact if found. Capstone fails integrity if attack steps present. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.
Write one paragraph: Topic 38 means defensive OT literacy on MY OT lab. Prepare for topic quiz next. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.
3. $OT_LAB boundary
chmod 600 — topic quiz next, then Topic 39 Dark Web. Capstone complete when integrity passes. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.
Ship: capstone summary. Next: Quiz — ICS/SCADA Topic.
4. What you ship: capstone lab card for $OT_LAB
Run capstone integrity review — checklist, path, evidence index, NEVER grep — on YOUR OT lab. $OT_LAB named. NEVER real-plant attack steps. chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Date (UTC). Capstone Lab card. $OT_LAB named. File t38-m10-l04-capstone-lab.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
Submit capstone with Stuxnet replication notes included.
Right
Write capstone lab card for YOUR $OT_LAB. Next: Quiz — Capstone and Topic Quiz.
Mission: document Capstone Lab 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.
