Building a Cybersecurity Home Lab (Overview)
A home lab is an environment meant to simulate components of I.T. infrastructure, equipment, and configurations similar to a business or enterprise network. This aims to understand the process of installing, configuring, and optimizing I.T. infrastructure at a relatively small scale.
The purpose of this lab is to practice setting up and configuring a virtual network with a variety of cybersecurity tools and services. I hope to use this lab as an environment to learn more about these popular tools and gain practical knowledge/experience.
More videos will be made to further document the setup and configuration of each service, so stay tuned for future content!
