  Introduction In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, having a safe and controlled environment for testing tools and techniques is essential. For my first project, I built a fully functional cybersecurity HomeLab using VMware Workstation Pro 17. This HomeLab allowed me to simulate real-world scenarios, practice both red and blue team skills, and prepare for future professional work without risking my main system or any live network. Objectives - Create an isolated virtual network for cybersecurity testing. - Install multiple virtual machines (VMs) to simulate different systems and environments. - Configure networking to allow both internet access and private lab communications. - Lay the foundation for advanced cybersecurity projects such as IDS/IPS deployment, malware analysis, and threat detection. Tools and Resources I used a range of tools and virtual machines to build my HomeLab. This variety ensured I could replicate real-world cybersecurity environments. •...

Back then, programming didn’t seem like a future. It felt like a phase fun, but uncertain. So I drifted away. But deep down, that itch to build, break, and understand how things worked never really left. Eventually, I came back. This time, it was different. I dove into full-stack development front-end was familiar, but I embraced the backend too, learning Python, Django, and the logic that makes web apps tick. I was building better, smarter systems. But I didn’t know my biggest...
