Inventory Lab
Asset inventory pack on $LAB_HOST — asset row, discovery note, scope list; lab-only discovery optional.
Visual · inventory_lab
Lab: asset inventory pack. $LAB_HOST only. Original Cyberlium.
One asset, one scope file, optional single-host nmap — zero dorm sweeps.
Module 3 lessons covered assets, discovery literacy, and scope lists. This lab ships combined evidence: asset row, discovery template or optional nmap -sV against $LAB_HOST only, scope list — merged under $HOME/cyberlium-lab. Optional: run nmap -sV on $LAB_HOST after RoE check; forbidden: any other IP range. Next: Quiz — Asset Inventory.
1. Lab contract: scope before packets
Open scope list — confirm only $LAB_HOST in-scope. Merge asset row and discovery sections into t18-m03-l04-inventory-lab.txt.
Optional nmap: single host $LAB_HOST from your workstation; save redacted output to notes — no stranger IPs.

═══ LINUX / macOS ═══
Command — copy this
source "$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t18-lab.env" nmap -oN "$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t18-inventory.txt" -sV --top-ports 20 "$LAB_HOST" grep -E '^[0-9]+/|open' "$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t18-inventory.txt" | head -15
Primary tools to practice this lesson: nmap, grep. Reference sites: Nmap output (https://nmap.org/book/man-output.html); Greenbone OpenVAS (https://www.greenbone.net/en/openvas/). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Merge module artifacts
Combine lessons 3-1 through 3-3. Update asset row service column if optional discovery ran.
Redact any accidental neighbor mentions to out-of-scope column.
3. Lock the proof
chmod 600. Quiz next — then Scanner Literacy.
Clean scope files prevent the worst VA failure: scanning the wrong network.
4. What you ship: asset inventory pack for $LAB_HOST
Asset row, discovery note, scope list. Optional nmap $LAB_HOST only. chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Date. Inventory pack on $LAB_HOST. File t18-m03-l04-inventory-lab.txt chmod 600.
6. Wrong vs right: stranger nets vs YOUR lab assets
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
- Wrong: Include dorm nmap output. Scope list with /16 campus range.
- Right: Inventory pack on $LAB_HOST. Next: Quiz — Asset Inventory.
Mission: inventory evidence pack
1) Verify scope list — $LAB_HOST only. 2) Merge asset, discovery, scope sections. 3) Optional nmap -sV $LAB_HOST. 4) chmod 600. Never scan out-of-scope IPs.

If nmap shows unexpected ports, note them — do not scan neighbors to compare.

APPLY: True or False: Scope list should be finalized before discovery packets.
