In a VM environment, RAM above all. 8Gb will not cut it. Consider 32Gb+

[@ny1stclass]

I was thinking the same wonder how it worked out

[@RobertVíquez]

With a hypervisor like proxmox you can kinda get away with 8

[@teawithc8303]

Thank you for this video! My school has been cancelled for the rest of the school year, and this project could help keep me occupied! Keep up the great work!

[@RodrygoDeSilva]

Dang, this comment was 4 years ago. Only if you knew that was the last time you attended in person at school

[@binBashskillz1337]

This is really cool I'm gonna try and replicate this project myself. Keep the good vids coming and it's actually really cool to see you grow from when you 1st started the channel as a semi awkward cyber student to someone whose more than confident to be a weirdo on the internet can wait to see you hit 100,000 subscribers.👍🏼

[@collinsinfosec]

Thanks for watching me along the journey :) I am sure things will continue to evolve as I get to know more about the industry.

[@ChrisWCorp]

I'm literally getting ready to do this as well to practice on. I can't wait to follow along!

[@senfglas214]

Thats funny, I‘m doing pretty much the same setup at home, just with a Samba 4 Server, not only AD. I‘m currently becoming a sysadmin and into pentesting.

[@tunzalea888]

Hello from Turkey🇹🇷✌🏼🧡This channel is golden. Many thanks for all the useful advices

[@vvborys]

Best regards from Ukraine! Good idea! Cybersecurity in action. Follow you)

[@ryanwittmers435]

First part giving off JP from Grandma's Boy vibes

[@nitinmaurya6835]

Setting everything up. Thanks for the PDF guide. :D

[@haykzaqaryan7653]

Hello from Armenia 🇦🇲. You are amazing and interesting boy .Your videos very helpful for me. Thank you ♥️🔥

[@jaysea80able]

This is excellent! I will be following your process .

[@graciousyaro103]

Like no matter what I still love your videos and will always look forward to them. And I love the way you make projects for yourself,I wish I could set my mind to it like u do

[@youtrip1037]

why do most it profess have a lenevo THINKPAD. whats good about thinkpad. ? Grant do you have a desktop as well or do you set up via laptop on your monitor ? Looking upto your work for my career in CS .

[@jack.k5721]

Nice project! I will do something simmilar soon.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

do you have a newer version of this as it's now 3-years old... no worries if you don't. starting a new one (lab) (two old old dell servers, old gaming machine, couple misc. purpose PC's (nothing new but adequate). layer 3 switch, etc. I've got pfSense on the misc. pc ready to go with just the base config (probably need to upgrade pfSense since it's about 4 months old download and I need to add all the services to pfSense - like I need to pick which services to activate-i'll watch a few Lawrence Systems videos again to get a refresher on the pfSense,)

[@thurstonlivesey3574]

awsome video keep up the good work!

[@Daboy2code84]

Currently running Vmware vSphere and vCenter and seeing where I can take it from there. (It's running on a Dell r710).

[@jibaromar2249]

Cool, love this ❤️ keep the great work 👍

[@dhanush-blr]

Hey instead of vm can we use docker

[@jagathrajah]

What's your keyboard model ? It seems good looking..

[@collinsinfosec]

Keyboard (Velocifire VM01)

[@user-zg9di6fk3t]

New virtual machine and open new window in file menu is disabled in vmware workstation 17, any suggestions,?

[@JohnDoe-gn6zd]

Will it be feasible if we use AWS cloud to host replica of the setup ? Would it be costly ?

[@xp3l]

Heya! i was really wondering on what laptop you're using for your main setup since i keep seeing it in ur vids and kept thinking about the specs and if they're powerful enough to drive 2 monitors

[@RobertMizen]

Really nice project and love the level of planning and design. How many services will be exposed to the web?

[@inspirationeveryday1175]

ubuntu great what about Kali !

[@dobs491]

How do you set these up on VMs? I also plan to do one, but instead of a desktop, I'm gonna use my old gaming laptop. Any tips?

[@SokhengKim]

What do you think of Razer Blade 14 for studying Cyber Security related pentesting?

[@Pppppppp718]

What software do you use to make those diagrams

[@A.M.1.]

so when you say "homeLab" is everything virtual? no extra hardware involved?

[@BobF510]

This is thought-provoking content. A comparable book I read shifted my entire mindset. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell

[@gffswer764]

How many pcs or laptops need in total??

[@collinsinfosec]

You will need one in total! I have two for me

[@maximilian4171]

wow it's been 4 yrs since

[@collinsinfosec]

Time flies.

[@checknate8820]

How are you routing the RDP server VM through a VM firewall?

[@empty_7212]

Dude, the first 35 seconds were so unnecessary! Ahah Awesome vidro anyway! Keep pushing :)

[@najiali651]

You’re amazing 😉 man

[@mohammedaslampasha743]

where is the part 2 of this video ?

[@Shawn-il4cw]

how much ram would you recommend for this project?

[@austinellis9099]

What application did you use to make your diagram?

[@collinsinfosec]

I used a program called Adobe After Effects and icons from flaticon.

[@MuhammadAhmad-hq5zx]

hello, how are you can i ask you for something.but please answer me because I need this and I have asked slots of people but no way!! what programming languages should I learn to be a Cyberscurity member? 2nd do you learn by yourself or went to college?

[@najiali651]

Muhammad Ahmad السلام عليكم ي اخي اولاً يجب ان تتعلم Python 🐍

[@collinsinfosec]

1: I would recommend learning Python! But that's just me. You could choose any popular language, although there will be better ones for cybersecurity use cases like Python, JavaScript, C, C++, Bash Scripting, and Java. The goal should be to stick to one for a little while. Learn the fundamentals of the language and then you could move laterally into another language. 2: I have learned from both. I will say, a lot of cybersecurity, in my personal opinion, is self-study. You can learn some great things in class, but most of my knowledge has come from investing time into studying on my own and applying what I have learned through side-projects. Hope this helps.

[@jaythestampede]

Forgot the t in cyber security

[@knewdist]

configurating

[@derekowusubekoe]

After typing "grant" from the PUTTY terminal, what password did you use? I tried using the password of my Linux machine but it gave me an error. Please assist.

[@deboraferreira4355]

I love you *-* I understand u s2

[@psychorockz123]

How did you create that Network Topology Diagram? It looks very professional. Adobe Photoshop?

[@collinsinfosec]

I made it through a program called After Effects. I used icons from Flaticon.

[@garcand]

Dude how did you get the ISOs for this topology? Do you have a link with reliable images? G8 vid.

[@akirakunkanji]

You can use GNS3...you can stimulate network, hardware and any topology

[@jisz2982]

Your cool bro

[@riverasanchez]

Grant, how do you separate your home IP devices from your lab?

[@Gs0c]

I would say subnetting maybe?

[@barbarianhun3461]

Suggest me a source to learn SIEM

[@jbsps6]

I'm curious, how are you going to run all of those VM's off of a non hyperthreaded 6 core cpu and 8 gigs of ram? :/

[@collinsinfosec]

Good question Jake! I will answer this in the upcoming videos. But for a short answer, I will not have all of the VMs running at once.

[@m1kr0kosmos]

Nothing makes me think of cyber security more than Ubuntu.

[@arnavbansal3939]

You are a little weird this year,in a funny way by the way. : -)

[@shokijames]

Hi Grant! I am about to buy a refurbished machine to make my own lab, for which I would like to get your opinion. Which one would you prefer: 1. i7-2600 3.4 ghz 8 gb ram 500 gb hard drive 2. i5-3470 3.2 GHz 8 GB ram 500 GB hard drive Amd Radeon HD 7500 video card - 1 GB DisplayPort and dvi output from video card.

[@prathamlakhani]

Grant man you have really inspired me and now I have decided to start my own KZbin channel so please check it out and give me an honest review. love you bro

[@linajigneshlakhani3836]

Subscribed.!!!
