How To Setup The Ultimate Penetration Testing | Network Security Monitoring, Cyber Lab for Beginners

[@aqeelmohamed6492]

Keep up these tutorials! I wish something like this existed when I started in Infosec, this will help a lot of people.

[@ITSecurityLabs]

Thanks. I will.

[@ITSecurityLabs]

Aqeel, Do you mind testing this lab (on AWS) before i offer free access to it for some of my subscribers? A lot of people would like to try it and i am willing to let them test it (and the machine gets reset after their session).

Thank you all for the positive feedback and likes. I will be making more videos based on this lab. Subscribe to get notified when i upload new videos.

[@yhytuncer]

I really Like your videos and I think it’s very helpful for people who are trying to get in to cyber security field with no prior experience!

[@KakaTu272]

Excellent Monitoring lab video that helps to really understand a practical SIEM application with SecurityOnion at home lab. Well, latest vulnhub walkthrough videos will be a a gift to solidify the many concepts playing a high role . Thanks mate , well done .

[@tbits01]

This video was AMAZING..... simple and easy setup. Thoroughly enjoyed virtual demonstration and walkthrough's. Thank you for putting this together. I know it was a few years ago but still very helpful!

[@shahidkoth8883]

Thank you so much for this video ! This helped a lot in setting up my home lab ! There are two things that I have added more in my lab: one is Windows 2008 Server Active Directory Domain Controller (AD-DC) (to learn about group policy and applying security setting through it) in internal network and second is, I added one more interface to pFsense for DMZ network, where I will be hosting Web and FTP server. I am looking forward to see your more videos in this home lab series to get more information regarding hacking through Kali and monitoring it with security onion. Again, thanks a lot !!

[@techhoppy]

Outstanding tutorial! Great Work! Keep these coming for all of us wanting to learn more about infosec and creating our own cyberrange. :)

[@ITSecurityLabs]

Thank you Daniel.

I have been looking for something like this. Even my LinkedIn class on Kali Linux was not this very explanatory in regards to the Network topology or diagram used. This is very visual and you see what you are trying to achieve. Thanks I just stumbled onto you video. Of course I have subscribed. It's that great.

[@ITSecurityLabs]

I’m glad you found this helpful. Let me know if you need help.

[@monuoha]

Hey, i followed your earlier videos and purchased a used dell server to setup a bare metal esxi host which i am accessing via vmware web client. However i noticed that in your future videos especially when it comes to configuring the LAN & WAN vlans, you switched from demonstrating on your baremetal to using virtualbox which has made it hard to follow. I don't see options in the vmware webclient like the network mgmt screen you have at 10:09 of your video where you are setting "bridge" & "host only" modes for the network interface. How do those of us that followed your bare metal recommendations earlier follow your series? Pls explain how to set that up

[@Thembalethu12]

Informative. You sound Zim. I have so many questions don’t know where to begin

[@thebretya]

This is so help, much appreciated 🙏

Thanks Austin.

[@alwanfauzan19]

Thanks for the tutorial, can you do next with proxmox?

[@Spaceyexponent]

If I have an old Dell optiplex 755 can I swap that for the virtualize pfsense and just run it off of that?

[@ricardobeckford765]

Hey bro, love you content. But I’m trying to build my pc for lab/gaming, what the minimum cpu core to run this lab setup ?

[@sullivanrobertson826]

Would this setup be helpful for Healthcare IT professionals, to protect patient data?

[@jnelly3426]

I followed the setup and got everything to work just as you described in your video. However, the display is all off on everything. You mentioned that you had another video to discuss the display issues, but I was unable to locate that video. Would you mind providing the link to how you got the displays to adjust properly? I have installed the guest additions, but it is not working as it should. Also, I noticed you increased the specs on the Security Onion VM. Mine works, but it was sluggish. I am going to try with the specs that you have. 6 processors and 9660 Base Memory. I can’t get full screen with the Security Onion VM.

[@theindependentb.o1865]

Hello, thank you for your video it help me a lot; i do evvery thing like you but i have a problem with my lab, when i open kibana it says " security onion error in visualization cannot read property '2' of undefined" pls help me i have no clue

[@or2185]

Would it be possible to use Wireshark along side or in place of security onion? Im new to IT and most suggestions I've had are to learn wireshark. Im not sure the difference between SecO and WS

[@clwither]

Commenting and saving for later. Already learned something! Thank you for making this!

[@justbhavana]

Were you able to complete the setup?

[@oai9106]

Thank you Mr. Howie what external drive do you recommend to use Cheers

[@ITSecurityLabs]

I don’t have any specific ones. Look at synology products

[@oai9106]

@@ITSecurityLabs Thank You Very Much Mr Howie Cheers

[@orbelg9861]

Hey thank you for the awesome video this is exactly the video I needed to see! Starting to implement this home lab now. Also want to point out that your link to the security onion includes an error at the end and metasploitable link is not there. Not a big deal easily found through search, but just letting you know

[@davidsonabdn]

Great video mate

[@ITSecurityLabs]

Leezer thanks

@@ITSecurityLabs you're welcome. Do you have any videos on splunk? I looked but didn't see any. Thanks

Even after following all these steps I can still ping my actual PC from Kali VM?? Shouldn't PfSense be blocking this?

[@twcable02]

I'm getting a "kernel panic- not syncing: fatal exception in interrupt" error. Any suggestions?

[@ITSecurityLabs]

What kind of system do you have? Are you using virtual box? Do you have virtualization enabled ? Are other machines running? How much resources do you have, ie RAM, Disk, Cpu etx

[@twcable02]

@@ITSecurityLabs updated my system resources, so now how long does this "vm_fault: pager read error, pid 1 (init)" message last?

[@gsl44-y4t]

would there be a case for running this in vsphere? I'm not too knowledgeable in virtualization

[@ITSecurityLabs]

G. Lally yes you can. I ran the same lab on VMware workstation and it worked well. It’s even better in vsphere with distributed switches.

[@iamaweasleyseriously8351]

can i use a partitioned disk of my OS drive for security onion installation?

[@DanGahagan]

Fantastic tutorial!

[@ITSecurityLabs]

Thanks Dan

[@iamaweasleyseriously8351]

i have installed the seconion, metsploitable, kali linux and pfsense, but it does not show the way it shows in seconion when i performed the zenmap. i noticed the machines have different time, will this be a factor?

[@justbhavana]

What setup do you recommend if I want to get logs from Kali but I also want Kali to be connected to the internet for CTF/HacktheBox? I setup as told in the video and I can't seem to access internet using Kali VM.

is 180 gb enough, please help that is my only option need to send this penetration testing tmmrw?

It might work, but if you can get more

I downloaded the exact version and format of pfSense but I didn't get any dis image. Instead, it's files that are to be burned into a CD. Please help.

[@ITSecurityLabs]

Did you download the .iso files ?

[@justbhavana]

@@ITSecurityLabs Yes. Turns out that the .iso was showing up as a zip file and I unzipped it. That waas the issue. I chose the .iso file without unzipping and it worked. Thanks for replying

@@ITSecurityLabs thanx bro, you are awesome

[@salman80]

I live in Maryland. Any advice can you give me on what types of jobs to apply for? what are the jobs title besides Security analyst? I am security plus certified but i know its not enough. I will appreciate your reply. Can you please recommend me any other material or video to help me get a job. What else can i learn?

[@ITSecurityLabs]

Sal Man it depends on what your interests are . There are a few paths in cyber security and as hard as it sounds , you kinda have to spend time trying to figure out which area. Interest you. Create a lab, follow some of my tutorials and other free guides online. Most people start as analysts. Pluralsight has a good course on that . Try hackthebox if you like penetrating . I have videos of me doing it that you can follow on this channel.

Good evening sir, I am new to cyber security and I am honestly finding difficult knowing exactly what I need to learn and in what order to be well equipped for an entry level Job.
