Ethical steps in security labs

  • Written permission only

    Test on lab networks and accounts mentors create. Never scan cafés, colleges, or neighbors without approval.

  • Stay inside scope

    If the assignment covers one practice app, do not expand to other hosts out of curiosity.

  • Document and report

    Timestamps and screenshots show professional judgment—not secret bragging online.

  • Stop when unsure

    Ask mentors before tools that could affect others. Illegal use ends training and can have legal consequences.

What to do when a practice alert appears

  1. 1Pause and confirm the alert is from a mentor-approved drill—not a surprise test
  2. 2Note time, user, device, and what you were doing in the incident log
  3. 3Contain: disable account or isolate VLAN per script mentors provide
  4. 4Collect screenshots and log lines before changing settings
  5. 5Escalate to mentor before touching production-style configurations

  • Change default router passwords in demo—discuss why shops must do the same
  • Separate guest Wi-Fi from staff VLAN in Satyam Plaza lab exercises
  • Backup mentor-provided data before patch day
  • Review who has admin rights on shared practice servers
