Build a Cybersecurity Homelab

A cybersecurity homelab is a small-scale environment meant to simulate different components of a business network. Implementations of a homelab vary depending on the intended size, scale, and complexity of components. The majority of homelab environments are virtualized with virtualization software (e.x. Oracle VirtualBox, VMware Workstation Player, etc).

Research and plan a cybersecurity homelab build. Common technologies used in homelab environments include:

Windows Active Directory Directory Services

Workstations (Windows 10, Linux Distributions)

Windows and Linux servers

Firewalls

VPN services or servers

Vulnerability scanner

System Information Event Management (SIEM)

Email server
