Students gain "hands-on experience" while setting up security concepts they probably heard of in various lectures and seminars before. The students work in teams of two and are given a PC in our lab and will be able to set up their own test networks. They will learn about virtualization as well as gain a deeper understanding of the theoretical concepts behind IT security mechanisms like VPN, Firewalls or PKI.
During the project some introductory presentations will be given for each of the topics. Then the students will get excercises to guide them through each topic. They need to write a detailed Report documenting all their steps taken, as well as their solution to each given exercise.
