seed-labs VS DetectionLab

I would recommend the labs and content at https://seedsecuritylabs.org

My professor has a lab for us and wants us to do THIS lab and I'm only getting. I need to set up multiple networks from the folder he gave us a ton of different files which I'm unsure what each one of them does. Where do I run commands for docker? is it in command line?

I'm not sure if computer security is the same as internet security. Professor Du taught it when I was there. It was really hard, but I learned a lot. I believe he has an open source version of the labs. open source website

I used these in college, not the most advanced but pretty simple to set up https://seedsecuritylabs.org/

One of my courses borrowed from here, there's a lot of different ways to start an attack and it was fun to actually use some of them and gain access (the flaws have since been patched, but real exploits were found for a variety of systems).

I'm implementing an ARP spoofing and man in the middle attack tool in C. For that I took the docker container config from Seed Labs. Here three containers are present: Host A (ip: 10.9.0.5, mac: 02:42:0a:09:00:05), Host B (ip: 10.9.0.6, mac: 02:42:0a:09:00:06), and Host M (ip: 10.9.0.105, mac: 02:42:0a:09:00:69). Host M is to be the attacker.

I would tell someone they should use a cloud lab like Clong's "Detection Lab" which gives them not only the security aspect but the cloud and engineering aspects as well.

Not sure what your goal with splunk is but I'd recommend Detection lab! Once you get the pre reqs setup, building and tearing down is super easy and you get a pre-baked ad environment to generate logs for you. https://github.com/clong/DetectionLab

I found a great starting point at the repo of DetectionLab : https://github.com/clong/DetectionLab

While it's true what most are saying, that you don't need a powerful system to learn hacking....... You DO have a valid point that a powerful system enables things a weaker system may not. For example with 64GB of RAM you can run a full network lab simulation such as https://github.com/clong/DetectionLab additionally a solid high end graphics card will let you run things like hashcat a lot faster. In theory you could make a rainbow table. You still need a lot of time to understand all the basics but yeah there's a few cool things you can do with more power it's not ENTIRELY unneeded. I wish I knew about the local defcon group long ago. They're welcoming and some have capture the flags you can play. Understand the various job roles there are in security and figure out which one you like. You get paid to do specific things not just learn about hacking.
