Vulnerability › Module 7 › Lesson 4
Triage Lab
Full triage pass on YOUR $LAB_ASSETS scan — verify, prioritize, dedupe, document.
Visual · t18_triage_lab
Lab: triage workflow on $LAB_ASSETS export. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
One clean triage spreadsheet from your lab scan beats ten hot takes about stranger CVEs.
On YOUR $LAB_ASSETS scan export: (1) dedupe plugin rows; (2) verify safely at least eight findings — mix of Confirmed, FP, Needs Patch; (3) assign P1/P2/P3 to confirmed; (4) write executive summary counts (confirmed vs FP vs open). Store triage workbook chmod 600 in $HOME/cyberlium-lab. No exploit PoCs, no scanning new unauthorized hosts to pad row count, no sharing raw classmate scan files. This pack feeds VA reporting module.
1. Dedupe and verify
Collapse duplicate CVE/plugin on same host. Safe-check per verify lesson.
Evidence column: command or config path — redact secrets.

2. Priority pass
P1/P2/P3 on confirmed only. Note environmental adjustments from Module 6.
Executive summary: X confirmed, Y FP, Z open by priority tier.
3. Teardown
chmod 600 workbook. No public gist with live lab IPs.
Handoff note for reporting module: top three P1 titles only.

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
Add findings from unauthorized internet scan to look thorough.
Right
Triage complete on $LAB_ASSETS. Next: quiz.
Mission: triage lab
