Testimonials

"You are the GOAT by the way, this project alone got me a co-op."
Jang O. Jang O.
"One of the best FREE courses in building your own cybersecurity home lab! If you want hands-on skills in ethical hacking, forensics, and incident response, you need a home lab, a safe space to experiment, break things, and learn by doing. You will gain skills that you will not find in most courses! This course teaches you how to build an AD lab, setting up and using tools like Wazuh, Security Onion, MailHog, etc., and also simulating and detecting the attack."

"I am starting a new job at Arctic Wolf as a Triage Security Analyst. I recently completed this project from Grant Collins. It's really well organized and explained, and available for free. Cyber projects and content created by Grant Collins were also really helpful in getting hands on with a wide range of tools. Thank you!"
