Home Lab - Self-Directed Cybersecurity Lab, Configured Windows Server: Set up and managed a Windows Server environment to understand server roles, Active Directory, and user management. Client Management: Installed and configured Windows 7 as a client operating system, allowing for hands-on experience with network configurations and client-server interactions. Penetration Testing: Utilized Metasploit to conduct penetration testing and vulnerability assessments on the Windows Server and client systems, identifying potential security weaknesses. Kali Linux OS: Operated Kali Linux as the primary platform for running security tools and performing ethical hacking exercises, enhancing skills in network security and attack simulations. Hands-On Learning: Engaged in various cybersecurity tasks, including network monitoring, incident response, and threat analysis, to develop a practical understanding of security protocols and best practices. Documented Findings: Maintained detailed documentation of lab configurations, testing methodologies, and results, which facilitated continuous learning and improvement of skills.
