Lab: write access pack. $LAB_RT only. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Access pack before any lab lure — vectors and defender checklist on paper first.
Lessons 4-1 through 4-3 covered access vectors, phishing defender view, and explicit kit refusal. This lab merges them into one initial access literacy pack for $LAB_RT — no kit downloads, no stranger email. Optional: note lab mail fixture test if RoE explicitly allows — still no live stranger phishing. Next: Quiz — Initial Access Literacy.
1. Lab contract: write the access literacy pack
Create $HOME/cyberlium-lab/t21-m04-l04-access-lab.txt merging access vector table, T1566 defender checklist, NEVER weapon list, and RoE cross-reference.
Optional: lab fixture test line for $LAB_RT mail — placeholders OK if offline.

Primary tools to practice this lesson: curl, nmap. Reference sites: CISA social engineering (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/news/avoiding-social-engineering-and-phishing-attacks); Initial Access lab (https://attack.mitre.org/tactics/TA0001/); 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. Cross-check kit and phishing misuse
Grep pack for kit URLs, mass email language, or classmate targets — delete. Tutorials showing real phishing get rewritten to defender detection notes only.
Classmates write their own access packs for their $LAB_RT.
3. Lock the proof
chmod 600 on the pack. Quiz next — then C2 Literacy.
Access literacy feeds C2 module — initial access stays lab-bound.
4. What you ship: initial access literacy pack for $LAB_RT
Vectors + defender checklist + NEVER list merged. $LAB_RT named. No kits. chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Date. Access pack path. $LAB_RT named. File t21-m04-l04-access-lab.txt chmod 600.
6. Wrong vs right: stranger phishing vs authorized RT lab
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Attach phishing kit link to pack. Add classmate emails as targets.
Right
Write YOUR access literacy pack for $LAB_RT. chmod 600. Next: Quiz — Initial Access Literacy.
Mission: freeze YOUR access pack on disk
1) Merge vector table, defender checklist, NEVER list. 2) Name $LAB_RT. 3) chmod 600. Never include kit links or stranger targets.
