Introduction # Have you ever wanted your own server at home to run applications, host files, or experiment with new technologies? A homelab is the perfect way to do just that. But what about accessing your homelab securely from anywhere in the world? That’s where things can get complicated.

Introduction # In this part, we will attack the Windows 11 machine (target-pc) from our Kali machine and also use Atomic Red Team on the target-pc to simulate various attacks. We’ll then analyze the logs generated in Splunk to see how these attacks appear in the data.

Introduction # In the world of cyber-security, having hands-on experience is invaluable. A home lab setup offers a powerful sandbox to simulate real-world network environments and security incidents. Active Directory (AD) and Splunk are two of the most widely used tools in the industry, forming the backbone of network management and security monitoring in countless organisations.

Network monitoring is essential for ensuring the reliability, security, and performance of computer networks. It involves continuously observing network traffic to detect and respond to anomalies, optimize resource allocation, and maintain uptime.
