Hi thanks for your writeup it was super helpful. I have a question about setting up a home lab. Currently I am using my desktop PC (around 8gb of RAM) as a daily driver and also use it for practicing pen testing with some VMs on virtaulbox. Though this gets pretty stressed with just 2 VMs running.

I’d love to setup the kind of lab you are suggesting and am wondering if i can achieve this with some relatively cheap hardware as i’m on a pretty tight budget while im studying. Thanks :slight_smile:

One thing to add to this which isn’t often covered by articles or “how-to” stuff is “Know your gaps”. By this I mean it’s super important to understand that you don’t know everything. There will be gaps in your knowledge and you should be confident in identifying these. This will help you grow as a tester and consultant.
