The site
Content here is informational. It is written from production experience, but it is not a substitute for change control on your own network.
Free lab files and scripts
The topology, config files, build sheet and scripts are provided free, as-is, for use in your own lab or on equipment you are responsible for. Test anything before running it on a production network. No warranty is given and no liability is accepted for outages, data loss or damage arising from their use.
You may use and adapt them in your own work, including commercially. You may not resell them as a product of your own.
The course
Network Automation Lab has not been released yet. A $39 founding price is advertised for the first cohort; it is expected to rise after launch. Nothing on this site is a binding offer to sell the course, and no payment is taken on this site today.
The deployment service
Prices shown for Zabbix and Wazuh deployments are indicative, banded by device count. Any engagement is governed by a written scope and agreement signed before work starts — that document, not this page, defines deliverables, dates, payment and liability.
Payment terms for a signed engagement: 50% on signature, 50% on handover, unless the agreement says otherwise.
Intellectual property
Site text, diagrams and the lab build sheet are © 2026 Wire & Shield. Cisco, Zabbix, Wazuh and other product names belong to their owners; they are used descriptively and no affiliation is implied.
