Building a Home Lab for Offensive Security & Security Research

When I wrote my “getting started” post on offensive security, I promised I’d write about building a lab you can use to practice your skillset. It’s taken a little while for me to get to it, but I’m finally trying to deliver.

Much like the post on getting started, I’m not claiming to have all the answers. I’ll again be focusing on an environment that helps you build a focus in the areas I most work in – penetration testing, black box application security, and red teaming. (And if you’re wondering about the difference between a penetration test and red team, there will be a post for that too – I promise they’re very different.)
