Course Overview

Have you ever been stuck with no internet, no cloud, and no servers but still needed access to systems in a remote location, or do you need to leave a system behind to do some analysis? System access goes beyond what you can get from a laptop or mobile device with no access to anything. Consider a ruggedized transportable secure DC that has a small enough footprint to carry in a backpack and weighs around the same as a 2-liter bottle of pop. Pizza in a box is way too big to carry around.

In this course, we will explore how we can leverage virtualization with a focus on VMware’s ESXi platform running on a ruggedized mini pc. We will secure the portable DC (VMware) platform and solve the following use cases:

  1. Field location needing access to a web application provisioning on the fly
  2. Security Analytics platform running Security Onion
  3. Red Team Tool Kit

Sounds incredible I know, and the goal is to empower you with ideas on how you can solve similar use cases. Bonus: this is a GREAT option for a lab environment that is 100% portable.

What You Will Learn

  • How to build a transportable secure DC that can be carried to any remote location for use. Note: this can also serve as a lab for testing or learning.
  • Understand what Terraform is and how it can help automate the delivery of the solution and reverse those changes as needed. Practical examples available that you can leverage in your use cases
  • Understand what Cloud-Config is and how it can help preconfigure a system. Practical examples available that you can leverage in your use cases
  • Understand what Security Onion is and get some practice hands on examples
  • Understand what Kali Linux is and get some practice hands on examples for red teaming
