No Experience in Cybersecurity? Build This SOC Home Lab.

One of the biggest mistakes aspiring SOC Analysts make is waiting for their first job to gain experience.

You can build your own SOC Analyst Home Lab on a single laptop and start learning the skills recruiters actually look for.

In this guide, you'll learn how to build a complete Blue Team lab using:
✅ VirtualBox
✅ Windows 10
✅ Ubuntu Server
✅ Kali Linux
✅ Splunk SIEM
✅ Sysmon
✅ Universal Forwarder

• Investigating security alerts
• Understanding Windows Event Logs
• Writing professional incident reports

Every expert started by building, breaking, and learning.
