Month 1 Labs
Three labs, done in order. Each has its own folder with a full spec. The lab attempt floor and the no-AI rule apply to every one.
| Lab | Folder | Time budget | Floor | What you build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1 Hardware Inventory | lab-01-hardware-inventory/ |
8 to 10 h | 60 min | A Bash inventory script and the habit of enumerating any host |
| 1.2 EFI Shell and the Boot Process | lab-02-efi-shell-boot/ |
10 to 12 h | 60 min | A corrected mental model of the boot chain, firmware to kernel |
| 1.3 picoCTF General Skills | lab-03-picoctf-general-skills/ |
10 to 12 h | 45 min per stuck challenge | Bare-hands shell fluency and the no-flag-confirmation habit |
Do all three, commit a notebook entry for each, and write the end-of-month boot-process deliverable (see ../deliverable.md) before you advance to Month 2.
