Setting Up a Hacking Lab

Setting Up a Hacking Lab is a practical foundation course that teaches you to build a safe, isolated penetration testing environment at home. You will learn hypervisor selection between VirtualBox and VMware including networking modes NAT, bridged and host-only for proper isolation. The course covers Kali Linux installation, snapshot management, guest additions and essential tool customization for lab use. You will set up vulnerable targets including Metasploitable 2 and 3, DVWA, OWASP WebGoat, Juice Shop and custom Active Directory lab with Windows Server domains. The course teaches network segmentation to keep attack traffic contained and avoid impacting your physical network using host-only adapters. You will learn to configure pfSense firewall lab for routing practice and traffic analysis with SPAN ports. The course includes Kali tool updates, shared folder setup and lab backup strategies with snapshots and cloning. You will learn to troubleshoot common lab issues including virtualization performance, network conflicts and tool dependency problems. The course also covers cloud-based lab alternatives using TryHackMe and HackTheBox integration with your local lab for hybrid learning. By completing this course you will have a professional lab matching industry training environments ready for all EduBazar hacking courses.
