My Homelab Setup:

The topology above is supposed to be my homelab, although my artistic efforts are questionable to say the least, I hope it gives you an idea as to what technologies I’ll be dealing with. Credit goes to Marko Andrejić , from whom I drew inspiration to build this lab.

This homelab is my attempt at various cyber operations like Offensive Security & DFIR.

My current Cyber Security Homelab configuration:

Corporate LAN (Critical servers):

• Active Directory 2019 Server + Windows Hosts
• Metasploitable 2 (Represents a vulnerable server in an org)
• Any other Vulnerable server would be added into this VLAN
• Other servers & databases shall be added in the future

Corporate WAN (Fake Internet):

• Blackarch/Kali Machine (Threat actor’s presence within the “Intranet” of an org)

DFIR & SIEM:

• Tsurugi
• Security Onion (Mainly Sucirata & Wazuh for SIEM as I’m still getting used to SO)

Malware Analysis:

• REMnux
• Flare OS

The main goal of this Homelab is to gain experience in many areas in cyber security like malware analysis, working with a SIEM, Pentesting & general IT knowledge of AD to maintain good security practices.

All my CTF challenges will be done within this homelab environment too.
