For me I started out very small and simple. Just repurposed some old hardware and ran a linux server on it with some hard drives for storage. Nothing fancy. That was about 15 years ago. It has evolved a bit since then lol. Just a word of warning, it's VERY easy to tumble down the slippery slope of "maybe I'll just add X" or "I could use Y for this". I'm now sitting on 3 NAS, a full blown server, a couple UPSs, network gear, all sitting in a 15U rack. One recommendation I would give is to look into containers over VMs for many things. One thing I used to have was every application had its own dedicated VM and I had a Proxmox cluster running all of that. Eventually I consolidated and downsized what I had so it was a bit more reasonable in size. Now I've got a Portainer instance managing all of my containers and its much easier to keep track of and maintain.
Thank you very much for sharing! Great suggestion. I will for sure look into your suggestions and apply them to my setup & my toolkit. I'm glad to have you here Cheers
I have really loved the video... and would like to know your take on `Incus` for provisioning Linux boxes too...I have been using it to create IaaS/PaaS platform
Hi SoBatistaCyber. Please continue your good work in these cyber security video tutorials. I’m a cyber security fresher student & your RUclips channel is very practical & informative. Can you possibly make some video tutorials about AI & Cloud Computing in relation to cybersecurity. Regarding future cybersecurity, AI & Cloud Computing video tutorials can you please try to copy real-world examples as this would help greatly. Looking forward to see what you come up with. Best wishes.
Hello, Amazing suggestions!! I'll add these ideas to my list and work on them soon indeed! Stay tunned for more and thank you very much for all your support, it is truly appreciated Cheers
I have a series on it in which I go through everything: ruclips.net/p/PL_eQ4NSC2HGOrS1bHz4WTJ4Cbc2ie4RgP&si=Qhzgj7S0BIIB6-WJ Please let me know what you think, feedback is welcome Thanks for your comment Cheers
I think anyone wanting to learn Linux would find a home lab quite useful. A home lab can be as simple as having a virtual machine on a windows laptop, and gradually expanding as needed .
if you can afford equipment then buy it!! if not build a pc or use old equipment and use vmware or virtualbox. same is if you have ethernet hardwire throughout ur residence great! if not wireless can work.
Indeed, at the moment I have to use virtualization tools, maybe in the future I'll be able to make some hardware videos, let's see Thank you very much for your comment Cheers
I won't say you should instead i will say that you should give it a try. Homelab is often percieved as solution for beginners but that's misconseption. Home Lab is for everyone for beginners to experts and will do what you want it to do. If you look at what is gong on especially in open source world you'll see that you have complete suite of tools avaliable that allow you to make virtual world of your own. You can even make your own internet at home literary free of ads, free of tracking, data collection and so on.
Indeed! Great comment & thanks for sharing I've been learning and growing in this field, for the last year, I'd say that the lab was an amazing learning process & experience, I'll continue on it, and I'll for sure take your suggestion and build my own internet @ home And in my opinion an home lab is for everyone indeed Cheers
Sobre virus nas VM's, ... não depende de como tens configurada a placa de rede na VM, para ficares exposta ao virus ou não? Estou a aprender mas achei que NIC em modo Bridge, era bidirecional entre VM host, colocando-nos expostos ao virus na mesma... Obrigado 🙂
Olá @gonzalezmoreira 😊 Desculpe a demora na resposta! A forma como a placa de rede está configurada realmente influencia a exposição. O que você mencionou está correto: quando o NIC está em modo Bridge, a comunicação entre a VM e o host é bidirecional, o que pode potencialmente expor ambos a ameaças. No entanto, o risco de infecção depende muito mais do isolamento e das medidas de segurança que você implementar, como firewalls e outras regras de proteção.
few years ago, fsense when installed on vmnd other like routers/firewalls, if u used it as ur router/firewall on a lan ,packets got lost due to passing traffic to vm and then to othe lan devices and vice versa. Have u ever see any packets from ur vm to ur lan , if u configure pfsene for ur firewall/router, got lost or it now can capture all the packets??
Hey @konstantinosdms9444 😊 Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been using pfSense for about 3-4 months and haven’t experienced any packet loss so far. From what I’ve seen, packet loss can be minimized or avoided with the correct network settings and proper configuration of pfSense. Cheers.
Most professionals learn more than one programming language. Python is a good starter language because it's relatively simple but also full featured. You'll want to learn the command shell of your operating system of choice, and its scripting language, too. After that, it depends on what you want to do. C and C++ are good, but they're old and programmers get bogged down by certain details. C++ is also slowly being displaced by Rust, but Rust is still not as common. Java is also popular. The Go language (aka Golang) is relatively new and it's becoming popular in some circles, particularly dev/ops. Depending on how deep you want to get into how the hardware works, you might consider learning the assembly language for your platform of choice, be it the x86, ARM, or RISC-V architecture. You'll need this if you decide to reverse engineer any kind of software because it provides a way analyze its logic without having the original source code. If you *really* want to get into the weeds, you might check out Intercal.
@@jeffsad8391 read c++ is more difficult but it's better it will help u to understantd things like ur computer and software architecture on ur pc, like how u can manipulate the memery for ur pc, ur hd, ur network, and other stuff where python don't do this..
Absolutely you shouldn't build a home lab, complete waste of time and money. Better off to play computer games all day instead, home labs is for losers
Fair opinion 🤣 I can say it takes a long time yes, but in my case it was a positive investment. But as someone who also plays games, I understand the argument hahaha Cheers
@@SoBatistaCyber Ha ha hey I was being sarcastic, you took the bait 😄 Don't follow that bad advice that home labs are a waste of time and money, they are a great investment for your career and future
Oh, embarrassing 🤣 but good one! I initially thought it was sarcasm but to be sure I played along. To be fair I find that it is hard to notice sarcasm in writing (and in the internet) thanks for clarifying & Thanks for your comment 😊 Cheers

Well home lab is really good for beginners who is want to learn depth ❤ we learn more we know more
Exactly! It takes a lot of work but you also learn a lot.
Thanks for your comment and for your feedback, it is very much appreciated
Cheers
This lab is interesting, graphical representation was going to be very much helpful

I fully agree, by doing my own lab gradually I learned a lot, and expanded my tool kit along the way

Which language is good to start:c++ or python?
c++
C++ for architecture, but Python for simplicity & generic use. However, C++ is way more powerful and faster than Python
@@SoBatistaCyber well is recomend to start with python or c++?
