Cybersecurity Starter Kit

Overview

This starter kit is designed to be scrollable and nested so you can test the wiki navigation. Two folders cover lab setup and incident basics.

What’s inside

  • labs/lab-setup — Build a small home lab with VMs and safe targets.
  • incident-response/playbook-basics — Minimal steps for handling alerts.

Learning goals

  • Practice investigation without breaking prod.
  • Capture evidence cleanly.
  • Communicate clearly and briefly.

Core habits

  1. Time-stamp everything you do.
  2. Keep raw notes and summarize separately.
  3. Work from least- to most-destructive actions.
  4. Validate assumptions with two signals (log + packet, alert + metric).
