Blue Backlog
Blue backlog literacy — finding to ticket, owner stub, detection engineering task, validation criteria — backlog rows on YOUR `$PURPLE_LAB`.
Visual · t35_blue_backlog
Blue backlog = named ticket rows. $PURPLE_LAB. Original Cyberlium.
Findings die in chat without backlog — name ticket and owner rows on YOUR lab before unauthorized prod SIEM pushes.
Blue backlog literacy names: finding-to-ticket mapping category, owner/team stub category, detection engineering task category (new rule, tune, telemetry uplift literacy), acceptance criteria category, and target sprint stub category. Analyst documents blue backlog stub on `$PURPLE_LAB` finding register from 9-1 — three backlog items with task type and validation criteria — without creating unauthorized prod tickets, without vague 'fix SIEM' tasks, without skipping acceptance criteria. Cyberlium teaches handoff vocabulary — purple to blue coordination on YOUR notes. Refused: unauthorized prod ticket creation, vague tasks, skip validation criteria. Lab row: blue backlog stub (three items, owner, task, acceptance criteria).
1. Named backlog rows
Finding-to-ticket, owner, DE task, acceptance criteria, sprint stub — five literacy anchors.
Each item links finding ID from 9-1 — not orphan tasks.
Command guide
Try these commands — Named backlog rows
═══ LINUX / macOS (Terminal Practice) ═══
Check system state and user context
Command — copy this
id whoami uname -a
Inspect network sockets listening for connections
Command — copy this
ss -tuln 2>/dev/null || netstat -tuln
Audit active processes
Command — copy this
ps aux | grep -v "\[" | head -15
═══ WINDOWS (POWERSHELL) ═══ Query user identity and system information
Command — copy this
whoami /all Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object CsName, OsName, OsVersion
Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, python3. Reference sites: Elastic backlog (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/rules-ui.html); Splunk ES (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ES); MITRE ATT&CK (https://attack.mitre.org/). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Acceptance discipline
Criteria cite atomic retest or log replay validation — lab or ticket path literacy.
Task type specific: new rule, tune existing, telemetry source — not generic fix.
3. Refused
No unauthorized prod tickets; no vague backlog items; no skip acceptance criteria.
Backlog literacy supports delivery — not finding graveyard.
4. What you ship: blue backlog stub
Three items + owner + task + acceptance criteria + NEVER unauthorized prod ticket line.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Blue backlog stub path.
6. Wrong vs right: stranger networks vs YOUR purple lab
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
- Wrong: Create employer prod Jira tickets from unauthorized lab finding notes without org approval.
- Right: Blue backlog stub from `$PURPLE_LAB` finding register. Next: Retrospectives.
Mission: blue backlog stub
1) Name five backlog literacy rows. 2) Three items from finding register. 3) Task type and acceptance criteria each. 4) Write NEVER unauthorized prod ticket line.
