Any idea on how virtual labs could be set up using VMware or others virtualization applications? This could be another approach to learning

I second the recommendation of groups setting up solutions such as described below. Depending on what your lab looks like you also want to look at configuration analysis. This can cover simply getting firewalls and routers setup, but also go deeply into secure setup, auditing policy, common pitfalls, etc. I have done this in the past with great success.These types of setups do not typically get finished in under 30 hours. So what I do is chain the labs together. So day 1 they setup and audit the firewall. For day two your lab setup is getting all previous components up and running. This works very well specially when trying to illustrate how an end to end network needs to be setup.-------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Laing Chief Security Officer Cellphone: +1 650.280.2389 Office: +1 (888) 845-8169 Ext. 805 Email: brian () redseal net Redseal Systems – http://www.redseal.net Instant Visibility.

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." -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Juan B Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 7:38 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Ideas for studentes Hi, I am instructor of a class of students which are learning info security. each week the students have 3 hours of lab to install a security product. im looking for ideas of products to install, it could be open source like iptables, snort or windows applications etc, I need simple installation so It wont get to complicated to the studnets. they know linux very basically. can you send me ideas of products to install? it shoud be products related to security. thanks a lot !
