G'day legends,
After years in the trenches—running SOCs, building home labs in my home, breaking into systems (legally 😉), and deep-diving into forensics—I've decided it's time to create a proper community for Aussies and anyone worldwide who wants practical, no-BS cybersecurity skills.
What this community is about:
- Hands-on labs you can run in your own environment (blue team defence, red team attack, DFIR)
- Home lab builds with real configs, gear lists, and troubleshooting tips
- Where to get gear at unbeatable prices
- SOC operations – detection engineering, SIEM workflows, alert triage
- Cert prep that actually prepares you (not just dumps)
- Career guidance from someone who's been in procurement, security ops, and consulting
What this community is NOT:
- Theory without application
- Vendor sales pitches
- Gatekeeping or elitism
Your mission (if you choose to accept it):
- Drop an intro below: your name, location, current role or goal, and one thing you want to master in the next 90 days
- Share your biggest challenge right now in cyber (job hunting, lab budget, cert study, tool overwhelm—whatever it is)
- Post a pic of your current lab setup (even if it's just a laptop) or describe what you're running
I'll be sharing weekly labs, live teardowns, playbooks, and real-world case studies. This only works if we all contribute, ask questions, and help each other level up.
Let's get after it. 🔥
