Cybersecurity projects are great ways to get handson experience while building a portfolio. The three projects ideas I recommend include 1) Cybersecurity Homelab, 2) Programming & Scripting Projects, 3) Capture the Flag (CTF)s and blogging. As I begin to plan and document a new cybersecurity project, I thought I would take the time to overview some larger cybersecurity projects I have done in the past to learn, build, and refine my technical skills.
