Navigator Named
Navigator named literacy covers MITRE ATT&CK Navigator layers, scoring, and export — practice layer concepts on YOUR $TI_LAB notes before prod dashboards.

Navigator literacy. $TI_LAB only. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Color the matrix — literacy names ATT&CK Navigator so you visualize coverage on lab layers before production detection reviews.
MITRE ATT&CK Navigator (attack-navigator.mitre.org) overlays technique scores on the matrix — color gradients show detection coverage, adversary emulation, or data source availability. Layers export as JSON for sharing. Multiple layers compare red-team emulation vs blue-team coverage side by side. Cyberlium describes Navigator layer on YOUR $TI_LAB — paper mock of three techniques scored for fictional detection coverage. Next: Coverage Gaps.
1. Navigator concepts (named)
Layer: JSON file scoring techniques 0–100 or color-coded. Score meaning: team-defined — detection coverage, logging availability, emulation status. Export/import: share layers between hunt, detection engineering, and TI teams. Filters: platform, tactic, data source views.
On $TI_LAB, sketch Navigator mock — three techniques with scores and legend explaining score meaning.

═══ INSTALL ═══
Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):
Command — copy this
sudo apt install curl
macOS: Built-in
Windows: Built-in (PowerShell: Invoke-WebRequest)
═══ LINUX / macOS ═══
Command — copy this
export TI_LAB=${TI_LAB:-$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t33-ti}
curl -sS https://mitre-attack.github.io/attack-navigator/ | head -10
cat > "$TI_LAB/attack/navigator-named.txt" <<'EOF'
ATT&CK Navigator — NAMED LITERACY:
Web app: visualize technique coverage as heatmaps
Layer files: JSON describing color/score per technique
Use cases: purple team coverage, gap analysis, vendor tool mapping
Workflow: select Enterprise matrix → import layer → annotate YOUR detections
Export: share layer JSON with YOUR team — no stranger org data
Lab: read Navigator docs; draft layer stub in attack/ — optional local install
EOFCommand — copy this
grep -E 'Navigator|Layer files|coverage|heatmaps' "$TI_LAB/attack/navigator-named.txt"
Primary tools to practice this lesson: curl, grep. Reference sites: ATT&CK Navigator (https://mitre-attack.github.io/attack-navigator/); Navigator repo (https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-navigator); 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. Why Navigator beats spreadsheet technique lists
Visual gaps pop on the matrix — uncovered Initial Access cells stand out. Layer comparison shows red vs blue divergence. Executive briefings attach Navigator PNG exports for coverage storytelling.
Students mock layers on lab notes — production layers follow team scoring definitions.
3. Lab boundary
Forbidden: claiming 100% coverage scores without linked detection rules. Allowed: Navigator named card — layer mock with $TI_LAB fictional scores and legend.
Ship: Navigator layer mock for YOUR lab coverage story. Next: Coverage Gaps.
4. What you ship: Navigator layer mock for $TI_LAB
Three technique scores with legend. $TI_LAB named. chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Date. Navigator mock. $TI_LAB named. File t33-m05-l02-navigator-named.txt chmod 600.
6. Wrong vs right: criminal markets vs YOUR lab IOCs
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Score all techniques 100 without evidence. Skip legend explaining score meaning.
Right
Write Navigator layer mock for YOUR $TI_LAB. Next: Coverage Gaps.
Mission: mock Navigator layer on YOUR lab
1) Pick three ATT&CK techniques from lab mapping. 2) Assign scores 0–100 with legend. 3) Note one gap the mock reveals. 4) chmod 600.
