Cyber Range Homelab

A step-by-step guidance to deploy a realistic and modular cyber range using pfSense, VirtualBox, and open-source tools for offense, defense, and monitoring. Then learn how to use the lab on the Attack × Detect × Defend series : A hands-on series leveraging your lab to exploit known CVEs, detect them with Wazuh and Suricata, and implement real-world defense strategies.

Building the Cybersecurity Homelab

Deploy a full-featured cyber range: pfSense for routing/firewalling, Kali for attacks, GOAD to emulate Active Directory, plus Wazuh, Suricata, OpenVAS, and EASM tools like ProjectDiscovery.

Attack × Detect × Defend

Real-world CVE exploitation scenarios using the homelab, combining offensive techniques, log-based detection with Wazuh and Suricata, and practical defensive hardening.
