“…Lee et al also presented a competition-based lab experiment [4], where students set up and defend their own machines and attack machines set up by other students. Georgia Tech instructors established an isolated laboratory network to support attack and defense exercises [5], through its use they learned that for such a lab 0018-9359 © 2015 IEEE.

This paper presents a network security laboratory project for teaching network traffic anomaly detection methods to electrical engineering students. The project design follows a research-oriented teaching principle, enabling students to make their own discoveries in real network traffic, using data captured from a large IP darkspace monitor operated at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Although darkspace traffic does not include bidirectional conversations (only attempts to initiate them), it contains traffic related to or actually perpetrating a variety of network attacks originating from millions of Internet addresses around the world. This breadth of coverage makes this darkspace data an excellent choice for a hands-on study of Internet attack detection techniques. In addition, darkspace data is less privacy-critical than other network traces, because it contains only unwanted network traffic and no legitimate communication. In the lab exercises presented, students learn about network security challenges, search for suspicious anomalies in network traffic, and gain experience in presenting and interpreting their own findings. They acquire not only security-specific technical skills but also general knowledge in statistical data analysis and data mining techniques. They are also encouraged to discover new phenomena in the data, which helps to ignite their general interest in science and engineering research. The Vienna University of Technology, Austria, first implemented this laboratory during the summer semester 2014, with a class of 41 students. With the help of the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) at UCSD, all exercises and IP darkspace data are publicly available.

“…Therefore, this kind of labs, even providing the closest experience to a real environment, may exceed the available resources of most institutions. An example of this kind of approach is the Georgia Tech's Hands-On Information Security Lab [3]. In this environment, taking advantage of the capabilities of Cisco network equipment, it is even possible to reconfigure the network infrastructure to a certain extent.…”

Most approaches currently used for Education on Internet Security and Information System Security are excessively static and lack the flexibility that the education requirements of security professionals demand. They can greatly benefit from the use of specific laboratory environments. In this paper we show how a tool which allows to generate scenarios to be used in education on system and network security, based on virtualization technologies could be used to improve such scenarios because of its open, distributed, modular, scalable and flexible features. An example scenario is described and finally some results showing the benefits of its use in undergraduate computer security courses are shown. SUMMARYInformation systems and networks play a paramount role in the contemporary societies. The degree of integration of these systems and networks in our daily lives is such that it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to imagine our societies without them. Information systems are a key component in most government and enterprise structures. This dependency of the social infrastructures on the information systems supporting them makes societies as vulnerable as their underlying information systems are, which makes system and network protection a critical aspect.

:Along with rapid development of network and mobile communication, traditional teaching model is no longer able to satisfy student's learning demand. Face to this network and mobile phones generation, teachers and students also have to relocate the role during teaching process. This paper mainly studied the design of interacted teaching platform network under the background of computing clouds, and mobile such new technology.Through the designing of interactive teaching platform and innovation teaching model, the adoption of SOA loosely based on the role of the teaching interaction, and combined with cloud computing and digital mobile campus and other new technology to realize anytime and anywhere, everywhere, timely learning, timely interactive "education cloud", and to use effective platform investigation and assessment, can constantly promote and perfect the platform, which allows more is helpful to improve the teaching level and the learning efficiency.
