Building my security homelab

This is an example post. Replace it with your own content or delete it.

A homelab is the best investment a security professional can make: a private environment where you can break things without breaking anything real.

What I run

• Proxmox as the hypervisor for virtual machines
• Kali Linux and vulnerable targets for offensive practice
• Wazuh as a SIEM to see what the attacks look like from the blue side
• pfSense as a hardened firewall between the lab and my home network

What I practice

1. Recon and enumeration with Nmap and OSINT
2. Web exploitation with Burp Suite against intentionally vulnerable apps
3. Detection: checking SIEM alerts and writing my own rules

Start small. One host, one target, one tool. Add pieces as you learn.
