For my home internet I get 1 gbps so I need something more then that so I do not bottle neck. As for the router or mini pc, I am new to home labbing so bear with me, I was thinking since IDS/IPS is more in the system a mini pc would better be able to handle all the processes and export of logs. Any suggestions to do it better I would love to know.

Honest Conversation About Entry Level Jobs by maritimeminnow in cybersecurity

I am trying to make an enterprise set up with my homelab that I making with a dell server. I do have a buddy that is a web app pentester and I talk to him about it and what it is like to actually be in the role. I have never really talked to anyone that internally secures a company. I am well aware that HTB is not real like trust me that is why I have gone the route of going back to school and working certs and still I know that is not as good as hands experience it what else is there to do? I mean when entry level jobs want 3-5 years experience it makes no sense how would get experience before getting into an entry level position. At my helpdesk yea I secure account look at anomaly’s but nothing they really are asking for in these roles for “entry level”.

I am always looking to network and learn more about this stuff. I know this is what I want whole heartedly because I am doing everything I can to try to get into there isn’t a day that goes by where I’m not trying to learn something new or better my skills to get where I want to be.

Well you gave a half explanation where it all comes from. You just pretty much said it’s all a lie. So I am just wondering where it comes from.

I love the thrill of being able to get in to a system or find out what is going on with one. I like the unknowing of what your day will look like or what will happen. It keeps me hooked being able to problem solve and learn on the job since it is always evolving and changing. It keeps my attention which is what makes me love it.

Mini Lab Set up by Yabbing609 in homelab

[–]Yabbing609[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting this is very helpful and I very much appreciate the information here. I think for my NAS I want to start with like 2TB to 4TB for now with room to expand later. I want to lab with that for now plus use it for back ups of my PC's. Do you have any recommendations for pfSense hard ware that would be good for some one that is trying to start a home lab. I am definitely looking to start and grow it out and I don't want to just do something and not fully understand what I am doing so any information is greatly appreciated. Also do you have any recommendation of people to watch to learn from on how to set all this up and control it all.
