Defensive Security (Blue Team) / Response and recovery

A home lab is the best way to learn defence: a few virtual machines, a firewall, a SIEM like Wazuh, and an intentionally vulnerable machine to practise on, all on your own computer.
Key points
- VirtualBox or Proxmox for VMs
- Wazuh or Security Onion for monitoring
- Keep the lab isolated from your home network
