Abstract

Due to the many vulnerabilities of today's computer systems, IT security education has become an important topic. For that reason, a new tutoring system is developed at the Institute for Telematics, Trier, that allows users to gain knowledge about security technologies and tools via a web browser interface. Unlike other systems, this tutoring system does not provide a restricted simulation environment. Instead, guided exercises are performed on a real system (Linux). In this paper, the user interface and architecture of the tutoring system as well as some implementation aspects and future enhancements are described.
