Month 5 Labs

Four labs. Four tools. Together they become your first public portfolio repository.

Do them in order. Each one assumes the Python the last one taught. The drafting pattern and the mandatory AI Provenance log apply to every lab (see the Month 5 README).

Lab	Folder	Time	Floor	Tool you build
5.1 Pure-Python Port Scanner	lab-01-python-port-scanner/	10 to 12 h	90 min	A concurrent TCP connect scanner (own hosts only)
5.2 Log Parser with SQLite	lab-02-log-parser-sqlite/	12 to 14 h	90 min	A log-to-SQLite pipeline and an incident summary
5.3 Password Strength Tester	lab-03-password-strength-tester/	8 to 10 h	90 min	An entropy and k-anonymity breach scorer
5.4 HTTP Fuzzer (lab only)	lab-04-http-fuzzer/	10 to 12 h	90 min	A directory and parameter fuzzer (own DVWA only)

Two labs carry hard scope rules: 5.1 and 5.4. Run them only against hosts you own. Re-read each lab’s scope section before you run anything.

All four tools ship in the public security-tools/ repository. That repository carries its own SAFETY.md. The full spec is in ../deliverable.md.
