Home Lab
I have created a home lab from networking equipment my previous employer was throwing away. I have created a mock small business network rack, A domain controller with users and groups. Administrators, Helpdesk and employees with access and permissions that adhere to principle of least privilege. A small network that’s starts from my ISP’s modem/router, I have it in bridge mode connecting to my Microtik router. My Mikrotik was set using unconventional ports for basic services like HTTP/HTTPS, FTP. It’s connected to a 5 port Unifi managed switch, I have my access points connected to it. I have 2 Vlans on that switch, the second Vlan is connected to a cisco router. I have turned my Mac pro into a VM workstation where I host most of them using Virtual Box. I have one in VM workstation. I have a vulnerable Vm that sits behind a PFsense firewall with no internet access to keep my hacking and practice secured.
