What this card says
What it is
The final project: build a small company setup, hack it in your lab, then fix every finding.
How it works
Pick one fictional company. Scope = your own host-only lab (and optional AWS Free Tier).
Do the full loop: build, test, fix, re-test.
Why it matters for security
This is exactly what a junior does on the job.
A clear write-up of findings and fixes is strong interview material.
| Exercise | Task | Hint |
|---|---|---|
| E1 | Write scope paragraph: IPs, VMs, what is out of scope | Host-only only; no bridged scans; named owners… |
| E2 | Threat model table: 5 assets × CIA × one control | Web, DB, S3, SSH, staff phone |
| E3 | Build weak target (choose path in Project box) | Snapshot pre-weak first |
| E4 | Hack from Kali .10 with proof notes | Only scoped IP; stop when proved |
| E5 | Fix + re-verify failure of the same exploit path | Screenshots before/after |
