Lab — PIR

PIR lab on $HUNT_LAB — PIR outline, detection gaps, L3 handoff bundled as post-incident pack.

Lab — PIR
00:00/02:46

Visual · t30_pir_lab

Lab: PIR and handoff pack from YOUR $HUNT_LAB closed incident. Original Cyberlium.

Ship post-incident artifacts from YOUR closed lab incident — PIR, gaps, L3 handoff — zero unauthorized prod publication or attack repro.

From $HUNT_LAB labs Modules 6–8: (1) report cover — scope, RoE reference, analyst, UTC; (2) PIR outline from Module 9-1 on closed incident; (3) detection gap table three rows; (4) L3 handoff block ten fields; (5) PICERL Lessons Learned summary; (6) limitations paragraph (practice vs prod, brief gaps); (7) integrity — $HUNT_LAB only, no prod PIR publish, no attack-for-gap, no unauthorized L3 page; (8) chmod 600 index.md. Professional tone — L3-readable. Cross-link IR, containment, eradication packs.

1. Lab deliverables

PIR + gaps + L3 handoff + PICERL Lessons summary — single closed incident thread.

Limitations paragraph mandatory — honest gaps.

Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, python3. Reference sites: PIR best practices (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-61/rev-2/final); SANS (https://www.sans.org/); Elastic cases (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/cases-ui.html). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.

2. Quality bar

Action items have owners; gap fixes measurable at category level.

Zero attack cookbooks in handoff next steps.

3. Integrity scan

Scan for prod PIR paste, unauthorized L3 escalation, attack repro — zero hits.

Practice label if brief requires.

4. What you ship: PIR lab pack

PIR + gaps + L3 handoff + index + integrity — chmod 600.

5. What you record before the next lesson

PIR lab pack path.

6. Wrong vs right: stranger prod vs YOUR hunt telemetry

Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.

  • Wrong: PIR lab includes unauthorized prod case export and attack gap demo.
  • Right: PIR lab pack on $HUNT_LAB. Next: quiz.
Hands-on Exercise

Mission: PIR lab
