Cyber attacks are ubiquitous and a constantly growing threat in the age of digitization. In order to protect important data, developers and system administrators must be trained and made aware of possible threats. Practical training can be used for students alike to introduce them to the topic. A constant threat to websites that require user authentication is so-called brute-force attacks, which attempt to crack a password by systematically trying every possible combination. As this is a typical threat, but comparably easy to detect, it is ideal for beginners. Therefore, three open-source blue team scenarios are designed and systematically described. They are contiguous to maximize the learning effect.

“…CTF is popularly used in cybersecurity and engineering, including in classrooms and labs [2,11], for training security professionals [5], for pedagogical research based on live CTF competition [8], and for taxonomy framework research for training and education [9]. While existing practices incorporate CTF for talent acquisition and job placements, e.g., National Cyber League and MITRE [5], the analyses of the impact of these methods are lacking, which motivated our work.…”

Team collaboration among individuals with diverse sets of expertise and skills is essential for solving complex problems. As part of an interdisciplinary effort, we studied the effects of Capture the Flag (CTF) game, a popular and engaging education/training tool in cybersecurity and engineering, in enhancing team construction and collaboration. We developed a framework to incorporate CTF as part of a computer-human process for expertise recognition and role assignment and evaluated and tested its effectiveness through a study with cybersecurity students enrolled in a Virtual Teams course. In our computer-human process framework, the post-CTF algorithm using the CTF outcomes assembles the team (assigning individuals to teams) and provides the initial role assignments, which then gets updated by human-based team discussions. This paper shares our insights, design choices/rationales, and analyses of our CTF-incorporated computer-human process framework. The students' evaluations revealed that the computer-human process framework was helpful in learning about their team members' backgrounds and expertise and assigning roles accordingly made a positive impact on the learning outcomes for the team collaboration skills in the course. This experience report showcases the utility of CTF as a tool for expertise recognition and role assignments in teams and highlights the complementary roles of CTF-based and discussion-based processes for an effective team collaboration among engineering students.

“…Cyber ranges are interactive learning environments representing the network systems, tools, and applications. The main benefits of cyber ranges are providing (i) performance-based learning and assessment, (ii) real-time feedback, (iii) simulated on-the-job experience, (iv) an authentic environment where teams can collaborate to improve team capabilities [4], [5].…”
