INSTRUCTIONS

$1.$ Decide on what hardware setup will fit best for your project

This decision is crucial as this will determine your success or failure. Your familiarity with VM$$s or access to real hardware will help you decide.

$$ VM$$s allow you to run the entire project from one location, but network setups may be more difficult.

$$ A real network and hardware give insight into the setup in a real world setting.

$$ Decide whether to use BT$5$R$3$ or Security Onion in a VM or create your own setup and installation of BT$5$ or SO on real hardware.
