Cybersecurity Homelab Project
What is a homelab?
A homelab is an environment meant to simulate components of I.T. infrastructure, equipment, and configurations similar to a business or enterprise network.
The goal of a homelab is to understand the process of installing, configuring, and optimizing I.T. infrastructure at a relatively small scale so one can apply similar processes to a real-world business or enterprise network.
Homelabs range in complexity, some being completely virtualized while others have incorporated hardware. Although homelabs can appear to be complex and perhaps overwhelming to the beginner, they are relatively easy to outline with proper clarity.
Topology & Overview
My goal in this homelab environment is to configure, manage, and ultimately simulate various types of systems and services including Active Directory, Remote Desktop Protocol, Vulnerability Scanner, SIEM, VPN server, and workstations.

Besides the main PC I will be working in and the Palo Alto PANOS 8 image, all other services and systems can be virtualized through your main workstatation. 8 GB of RAM and a decently powerful CPU is recommended, but not required.
