Capture-the-Flag Challenges that Enhance Cybersecurity Analysis Skills

Project Abstract

Cybersecurity analysis skills are of growing importance due to our increasing reliance on computers and networks. Current security exercises typically lack interactive, experiential components and configuration flexibility. This project seeks to develop a series of configurable cybersecurity scenarios, the infrastructure necessary for running them, and documentation that explains security implications. Scenarios may include capture the flag, web applications, malware analysis, data science, firewalls, buffer overflows, recover the network and intrusion detection.
