Lab path = visual RE chain on authorized binary. Original Cyberlium.

Draw the path from hash verify to share-safe writeup — with red stop signs at piracy shortcuts.

Document RE path: legal verify → static triage → Ghidra/objdump → dynamic GDB → crackme solve optional patch YOUR toy → anti-analysis document → writeup → share-safe export. Ethics gates: undocumented sample, commercial piracy, DRM bypass, casual live crackme share — refused paths labeled. UTC milestones and artifact IDs per station. Mermaid or sketch chmod 600. Honest N/A segments if brief restricted dynamic — no fiction. Defender breakpoint: where static or anti-debug finding would inform detection.

1. Path stations

Intake, static, dynamic, crackme, anti-analysis, writeup, share — seven minimum.

Each station links evidence index row and module lesson ID.
