Build Your First Cybersecurity Home Lab (Step-by-Step) | No Experience Needed
Innocent A. — Cybersecurity Analyst
📢 Shared from CyberShift
Built something I wish existed when I was starting out.
A full cybersecurity home lab walkthrough, beginner level, no fluff. You go from zero to running live Nmap scans between a Kali VM and a Windows host in under 30 minutes.
I also added 8 quiz checkpoints throughout the video at exact timestamps so you are not just passively watching, you are actively proving to yourself that you understand what is happening.
Topics covered: VirtualBox setup, Kali Linux install, bridged vs NAT adapters, basic Linux terminal commands, Nmap scanning, Wireshark traffic capture, and a quick intro to the Cyber Kill Chain and MITRE ATT&CK.
This is Part 1. Next video covers Ubuntu + a full SOC lab setup.

Which Linux distro should I cover after Ubuntu? Drop it in the comments.
