In Part I I shared my blueprint, now I want to hear about yours. Drop in the comments:
- Your rough budget (shoestring, mid-range, or “send help, I’m on eBay again”)
- Your main goal (SOC analyst, pentester, DFIR, “I just want to break stuff and learn”)
- What gear or software you’re thinking of starting with
I’ll reply with suggestions to help you shape a realistic lab plan around your budget and goal so you’re not wasting cash on the wrong kit.
