This folder contains my write-ups for home lab projects focused on detection, monitoring, and security research. My goal is to build a structured cybersecurity homelab to test security tools, analyze network traffic, and simulate real-world attack scenarios.
| Category | Tool/Hardware | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 💻 Hardware | MacBook Pro M2 | Primary system running VMware Fusion for virtualization |
| Proxmox | Available but not yet in use | |
| Flipper Zero | Various testing and tool experimentation | |
| Raspberry Pi | Future expansion for additional projects | |
| 🌐 Network & Security | Ubuntu Server | Acting as a firewall (Setup Guide) |
| Wireshark | Packet analysis and network forensics | |
| Nmap & Shodan | Scanning, discovery, and reconnaissance | |
| 🖥️ Virtual Machines | Kali Linux | Offensive security testing environment |
| Parrot OS | Alternative pentesting and forensic analysis platform | |
| 📊 Planned Additions | Wazuh | SIEM and log monitoring |
| ELK Stack | Log analysis and visualization |
- Installed VMware Fusion and set up Kali Linux and Parrot OS VMs
- Configured Ubuntu Server as a firewall (Setup Guide)
- Deploy and configure SIEM tools such as Wazuh and ELK Stack
- Set up vulnerable VMs for exploitation practice
- Expand monitoring capabilities within the lab
- Troubleshooting VM networking issues and firewall rules
- Optimizing resource allocation for virtualization
- Identifying and mitigating security misconfigurations
📌 More write-ups will be added as the homelab evolves! 🚀
