Personally, I think it would be beneficial to teach students a well known auditing methodology (NSA IAM/IEM, Octave, etc.). After that has been established, have the students use the methodology in a lab environment and provide an auditing report that would be useful for a typical corporation. This may not encompass the entire scope of what you have to teach, but I think it would be a good start. This would better prepare students on how to report their findings to management.

I'm hoping to make the class as hands on as possible, covering material from enumeration to system hacking. What practical scenarios should be included in the course content? I'd like to cover a range of popular tools but at the same time make it more than a script kiddie class. Each scenario should teach concepts as well as getting students familiar with different security tools. If you were to one day have these students either conducting audits for you or working for you what skill set would you like them to have?
