This is the detailed documentation for Home Security Lab Automation.

Detailed implementation steps and results are recorded here.

Overview

This pet project focuses on building a small home security lab and automating recurring security checks.

What I built

• A Python scanner workflow to run scheduled network discovery.
• A lightweight Wazuh setup in Docker for host-based monitoring.
• A GitHub Actions workflow to validate scanner scripts and configs.

Outcome

• Faster detection of unknown devices on the network.
• A repeatable baseline for alerting and log review.
