You have been chatting with fellow cybersecurity students on their efforts to learn

cybersecurity by getting hands$-$on training. You have discovered that some students

have built their own home labs and you want to try your hand at doing this as well. You

have a budget of $$500,$ an eBay account, and an Amazon account.

Your goal for your lab is to have two servers, a switch, and a firewall. You also need

software, some of which is free outright $($like Linux$),$ and some of which is free for

evaluation purposes. Remember, virtualization technology will help you run more than

one OS on a given hardware platform.You have been chatting with fellow cybersecurity students on their efforts to learn
