📘 Introduction

This page documents my personal cybersecurity lab setup. It’s built for practicing penetration testing, simulating networks, and hosting vulnerable machines for educational and research purposes.

🎯 Objective

To create a private and flexible lab where I can learn advanced exploitation techniques, simulate attacks, and test blue/red team strategies.

🧰 Tools & Platforms

• Kali Linux / Parrot OS
• Metasploit Framework, Burp Suite
• Active Directory Lab (Windows Server 2022 + Clients)
• DVWA, Juice Shop, TryHackMe Machines
• VirtualBox / VMware, pfSense, Nmap, Wireshark

🔧 Architecture

The lab consists of multiple VMs connected via internal networks, isolated from the host. VLANs are simulated with pfSense. I use NAT and port forwarding for controlled access.

🚀 Development Rate

Currently at 30% — working on integrating logging via ELK Stack and building automation scripts for VM resets and vulnerability deployment.
