Named product is evaluation proof only — not a UHBS endorsement.

For CTI analysts

Use the published SCORECARD modules to judge whether attackers reach interactive depth or stop at handshake/credential capture. This lab configuration intentionally disables outbound feeds (HPFeeds, Artillery ban lists, PyRDP player forwarding) to satisfy containment attestation.

For blue teams

Treat δ_C and Module D as mandatory pre-flight checks before exposing any decoy on production networks. Module C reflects what the UHBS harness could read from local logs — mirror those fields into your SIEM if you reuse the same layout.
