Whenever trying to help make cyber-related training videos it is easy to show people how to do something sometimes easier than typing how.
Having both written/typed instructions and a video for a how-to is really the most perfect. Some things are just really hard to type and even with a picture, there is a certain magic touch videos add to showing how to do something that involves tens of steps that takes mere seconds.
As such, I have decided to make a FOSS training lab build:
1. Screen recording software is crucial to shoot quality training videos, use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) opposed to overpriced proprietary solutions like Camtasia.
2. A video editor to trim rambling or hiccups in recording your desktop to rid your training video of pollution, keep videos under 10 minutes ideally. Using OpenShot is a great alternative to Camtasia, Adobe Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro X for the simpler features such as splicing bits of video apart, deleting it, sorting tracks, and exporting a production video to then upload to YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia.
3. Whenever showcasing training you are typically going to want a separate lab system to run your labs inside, this calls for a VM (virtual machine). If you are on a Windows system, you may use the freely available Hyper-V as a Type-1 Hypervisor:
Hyper-V on Windows 10 (Type 1)
VirtualBox on cross-platform (Type 2)
4. You are going to want a source for ISO files and you can find these at locations by Googling stuff like - you can even just look for a solution ISO let's say I want a SIEM solution ISO:
Free SIEM: https://cybersecurity.att.com/products/ossim/download
Ubuntu server: https://ubuntu.com/download/server
Arch linux: https://www.archlinux.org/download/ - you may have to select a mirror like http://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/iso/2020.07.01/ - which may be outdated (may need current date).
Anyway, long story short there are plentiful resources out about on the Internet to use for creating awesome content. All for free!
