This capstone module provides a fully interactive, guided laboratory environment to synthesize the concepts learned throughout the Agent Exploitation learning path. You will perform a multi-stage attack against a simulated enterprise autonomous agent, executing indirect memory poisoning, mid-task goal redirection, and tool chaining to achieve unauthorized privilege escalation in a safe, isolated environment.

## Lessons

1. Lab Setup and Target Agent Overview (30 min)
2. Crafting the Hijack Sequence (30 min)
3. Verifying the Agent Completed an Unauthorized Task (30 min)
