Build a Cybersecurity Homelab - A Practical Guide to Offense & Defense [Enterprise 101]

This course is designed for individuals eager to dive into hands-on practice from day one, offering a practical approach to building and securing a business network. Participants will create a functional virtual network that simulates real-world business components, including email servers, workstations, security systems, SIEM, XDR, and a security sandbox. Along the way, you'll gain foundational knowledge in setting up a business IT environment, understand the lifecycle of a cyber-attack from initial access to breach, and implement effective security detections. By the end of the course, you'll have a portfolio-worthy project that demonstrates your skills in networking, cybersecurity, and incident detection.

Build an Attack-Defend Cyber Lab [Networks & Attacks 101]

Computer networks are the backbone of modern communication, enabling devices to exchange data and connect to the Internet. To understand cybersecurity, it’s essential to first explore the fundamental components, protocols, and operations that make these networks function. In Networks & Attacks 101, we work on the essentials based off of Enterprise 101’s topology. Building the essential network infrastructure, deploying network-based attacks such as Man-in-the-Middle (MiTM), Denial of Service (DoS), Address Resolution and IP Spoofing. We then deploy defenses, such as the Suricata Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), pfSense Firewall, Active Directory Group Policy Objects (GPO), and File Integrity Monitoring (FIM).
