DEADWIRE / SECURITY FIELD MANUAL

Understand the system.
Prove the technique.

Build a working model of security, test it in a bounded lab, and leave evidence someone else can reproduce. Deadwire is building a connected course from an authorized private library. Four developed lessons are available; the wider course is still being written.

02 / PRACTICE

Build your lab

Prepare a disposable environment, then reproduce the bundled web authorization exercise.

Study SCADA and OT →

03 / DEMONSTRATE

Make the evidence clear

Record observations, explain the result, and distinguish what you predicted from what you tested.

One focused session

Planned allocation, not measured progress. Carry unfinished work forward; reading alone does not demonstrate mastery. The weekly plan places each session in the wider route.

Know what is ready

The web-authorization lesson and three SCADA/OT chapters are developed, with local or offline exercises. Fourteen other chapter pages remain short outlines. Book distillation, source review, and learner validation are ongoing. The coverage map names missing topics—including mobile security, exploit development, and deeper industrial protocols—so planned coverage is not confused with published teaching material.

Label What it establishes
Outline A short scope sketch; the full lesson is still missing.
Developed An explanation and exercise are written; review and learner validation remain separate.
Generated A model draft exists; its claims still need review.
Approved A human accepted the note with source references.
Verified A technique has recorded human lab evidence.

Library processing status · Source coverage · Acceptance and evaluation

Source books and learning evidence stay in the private Hacking/Deadwire workflow. Published lessons use original explanations with provenance. Engineers can start at the Luna handoff or architecture decisions.

Lab boundary

Run exercises only on systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test. Each active exercise needs a defined scope and cleanup; Deadwire does not execute commands extracted from books.
