Javier, To elaborate on that further. I teach Information Security for a Technical College in the US. One of our classes is hacker techniques. We go through a 11 week cirriculum in which we teach various techniques like sniffing, cracking, session hijacking, etc. I break up my students into teams of 2 to 3 in the labs and have them on a common network. There they have to do online searching for at least one Linux and one windows based application for that performs the same function that we discussed. They then use it on another team of students so that we can see both "cause and effect". I have them turn in at the end of the class, a disk with their "hacker toolkit" complete with applications/tools and an explanation for why they selected each one of these.

Good morning, How about setting the students up in groups of three and give them each a task. One installs Nessus, one installs Snort and one installs smoothwall on a box with httpd enabled and maybe sshd and similar easily enabled services. Then hook them up to a switch allowing for port mirroring or an old
hub.
Initiate a Nessus scan against the firewalled box running the accessible services and see what Snort spews out. That could be set up with a lot of defaults and plenty of challenges for any level of student. However if it has to be completed in three hours and can't span multiple days this may take too long :) Nick Vaernhoej "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur."
i could add a sleuthkit installation and see audit traces....:) -- Ciao, Javier linux counter #393724 GPG Key Fingerprint = 46B76CFEDB0161089D9ECB22FEFDE7EBA8C2007E
