Eureka Labs

Hands-on cybersecurity labs, Suitable for students, practitioners, and educators, 2020

Introduction

The Eureka Labs are designed for learners at all levels of experience and interest in security concepts and technologies. Exploratory labs stimulate interest among learners with little or no prior experience with security techniques and concepts. Core labs allow learners to build their conceptual understanding and repertoire of security techniques through interactive experiences. Advanced labs place learners at the cutting edge of security risks associated with the latest generation network technology. We welcome and encourage feedback on each lab.
