Cybersecurity Tip: Build A Basic Home Lab (1/3)

💡 What's a Home Lab?: Think of it as your digital workshop, a safe haven to tinker, test, and refine your cybersecurity skills. A Home Lab is a personalized setup where you can build virtual environments, play with cutting-edge tools, and simulate real-world scenarios, all from the comfort of your home. 🏠💡

🔍 The Power of Practical Learning: Theory is essential, but the Home Lab takes you beyond the textbooks. Hands-on learning allows you to grasp complex concepts, fortify your technical abilities, and face cyber challenges head-on! 🧠🔍

I must say this is all time one of the most important video for beginners.

[DubThaDetailer]

Glad I stumbled across your channel. I love your enthusiasm, you sound genuine in your efforts to want to help others become SOC analysts. Thank you for the good content.

[victormokut]

All of the three parts are excellent with crystal clear explanations. You are a blessing.

[ibrahimYODA-qkng]

One of the realest blue teamer out here no BS only good stuffs. Mucho gracias 🙏🏿

[Miracle]

Watched just one video and couldn't stop myself from liking and subscribing. I must say u know the pain of a beginner very well. Hoping to get more lab based videos in future. Thanks a ton!!!

[chengbiz]

This is a great video.... for next video may I suggest, you show us how to run both virtual machine Window & Kali and simulate attacks (Blue & Red team simulation)

[datag]

Fantastic walkthrough. I wish we had more walkthroughs like this for true beginners. So many get discouraged or feel overwhelmed when the YouTuber expects viewers to just "know" how to do something. Not always the case. Thanks again. Subscribed

I am a beginner in cybersecurity field. This is very helpful for the beginner I think.

[techhoppy]

Great video! You eluded to proper configuration of your virtual machines. I'm surprised you didn't mention about setting up a separate isolated local network for the lab so that, whatever you're doing, doesn't escape the VM network. Might be a good idea for a second deep dive video. :)

Addition for 0:55
If you use Linux and your processor supports hardware virtualization, you can use Qemu-KVM + Virtmanager. Alternatively you can also run Qubes OS which is essentially a Xen hypervisor to run Linuxes

1 small correction: you don't need a valid licence to install Windows 10. I have several times used the Microsoft media creation tool on an inactivated Windows 10 machine to create a Windows 10 iso and managed to install Windows 10 on about 40 other PCs without incident. The limitations of an inactivated Windows 10 version are very minor.

love your videos! actually giving beginners into cyber things to try and get experience with and things we can put into a CV.

[joshuaspeshock]

Always great content! Definitely one of the best cybersecurity YouTubers! Looking forward to more content! Amazing job!

[Marcus-dxfc]

Amazing man I am studying in college and trying to get ahead, this is extremely helpful thank you for your hard work and consistency!

[zenmoto]

Man did you send me to the rabbit hole! I’ve watched you video on CS projects and decided to make a simple project with Wazuh, well Wazuh doesn’t support ARM, since I am with a Macbook I bought an old Dell Optiplex 6 core, 16gb. And now using this video to set it up, took a week off work, just to install and setup the Windows and its updates alone 😂 The rest should be quick. Thanks for the well made tutorial, great channel with huge potential!

I've also used Gnome Boxes and Oracle Virtual Box in my Big Linux OS distro and KDE Neon Plasma from the makers of Smart Plasma (Linux) TV which we called Smart TV. Gnome is so easy to use. Gnome Boxes is so easy for beginners with no experience needed. Even it has no complicated configurations needed too. My episode regarding virtual machines installation and introduction will be in public maybe next week as I always set it and I focus only in GNU/Linux or simply refereed to use Linux. As I use Linux in video & layout editing, lectures, documents, slideshow presentation and so on.

I finally downloaded both virtual machines thanks to you. You are awesome!! Where do I send the money? lol
I am very excited to begin the cybersecurity journey with you. I applied for some entry level cybersecurity jobs, but I know I won't get it because I don't have hands on experience. Because of you I am feeling like I am getting that hands on exposure to cybersecurity. Thank you!

[garyhalsey]

Stumbled across this video today. I have Sec+ & PenTest+ and am hoping that by watching your videos, I can learn to be proficient in using what I have learned! New subscriber!! Looking for to your future videos!!

[ismayilmammadov]

Clear explanation. Valuable video content to get into cyber world. Thank you, buddy.

[ayobamiowolade]

Hello brother, you deserve my appreciation for this video... May the FORCE always be with you..
